Good morning. THIS is the biggest thing in a while. Bihar has released caste survey figures. The first census data of *all* castes in a state since 1931. Data confirms what anti-caste scholars and politicians have been saying for a while: UCs only 15% of population. Bahujans 85%

Caste, class and bigotry all in one - "Rich Hindus, living in gated areas in Gurgaon, India, cheer when poor Muslims are killed in riots & mosques being burned. When Muslims left, rich Hindus want them back because no one is there to work for them & clean their garbage."

[Zoya Rasul @zoyarasul]

When you don't allow rioters to burn your houses, the State will come to bulldoze them.

Haryana: Over 250 shanties of Muslim workers demolished in Nuh https://t.co/cVP6zffQm5 via @scroll_in

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

They own the house - let that sink in. An Indian Muslim family are being preventing from living in a house they lawfully own.

The state has stopped protecting their property rights here - this is apartheid.

At home in Delhi 4 : I look at the living conditions of millions of Delhi’s industrial and informal workers , how they have been pushed to the margins and continue to struggle for decent housing.

For various reasons, I suspect this is going to pass under the radar, but for me, this is where the collegium has actually stuck its neck out and shown courage.

I was born to a Tamil mother and a Sinhalese father during a moment of intense communal division and in an instant an exile and an outsider to both communities. My mother and father got married in a friends house in Colombo while riots were going on in the city.

Indian cities, languishing from the expectations of "world-class" city building, have reduced themselves to a dystopic nightmare. We get the 'why' of loiter, but I think we are in urgent need of a memo on 'how to loiter'.
