It doesn't feel right to be posting humour on a day like today.

"If you celebrate while someone else is in pain, something is broken in our society. We feel hopeless & cheated...." Muslims tell us what they feel about the elaborate Ram Temple inauguration, the public euphoria & being sidelined in their own country. https://t.co/MjBfv5mMLa

Veteran Haaretz journalist Amira Hass has reported from the Occupied Palestinian Territories for decades and says the Israeli public is "drunk with the will to take revenge" on Palestinians, spurred on by a far-right government dominated by "extreme fascist settlers."

[Splainer @splainerin]

A sophisticated shock attack by #Hamas on #Israel has triggered an all-out war. This seemingly suicidal attack has to be understood in the context of the ‘new Middle East’—which has no interest in #Palestine—either the cause or its people.

If bookshops have given you a fraction of the joy they have given me since I was little, go support your local bookshops on the 7th October by buying lots of books.

If there was no caste system in India, waste disposal and sanitation in the country would have been far superior - we would have had more tourism, less disease and become a developed country.

Casteism obstructs public health and is anti-national.

Completely baffling, arbitrary & undemocratic -no it's actually plain autocratic. The Delhi police locks the gates to stop a "people's Summit" on #G20India from taking place at Surjit bhawan Delhi. Clearly this global elite & it's Indian leadership is petrified of people's voices

[Harsh Mander @harsh_mander]

Do take a few minutes to watch this video. Meet the kite sellers of Chandni Chowk, learn of their love for the country

"NGOs have tamed a generation of activists.

They’ve given up grand visions of social change & mass recruitment in favor of writing grants & wooing foundations; ceded control of the movement to executives in boardrooms..." @incitenews

What is the "NGO-isation" of resistance?

Hi @PTUshaOfficial. How to respond to sexual harassment.

Indian Matchmaking and Caste: A tale of flipping stances in a few steps

When Indian Matchmaking premiered in 2020, the desi diaspora (including Indian American journalists) hailed it as the holy grail of representation

Paeans were penned about its significance to South Asians.
