Happy to share my first ever bilingual poetry collection - Fasting Hymns! Thank you so much @srinivas goud for the beautiful translations into Telugu and Charan Parimi for the fascinating sketches!

The last day of my delightful class “ Words are weapons” -a truly multicultural and diverse group ❤️
This piece by Prof. Afsar Mohammad. As always, it is a reflection of his politics and writing as a social scientist and literateur. @afsartelugu

Happy to share my first ever OP-ED for an American newspaper.. inquirer.com/opinion/commen…
So happy to share that this week's discussions in my "Words are Weapons" class were really inspiring! While speaking about Sarah Waheed's book "Hidden Histories of Pakistan" I had students do a close reading of the sensational poem "Hum Dekhenge" of Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
Eid Mubarak... * The subject today is Love And for tomorrow as well, As a matter of fact I know of no better topic For us to discuss Until we all Die! - Hafez
Happy Ramzan. here's the last hymn- on this holy day too never ever forget that our chand was already stolen by a few filthy rich hands, and our bodies remain a human-sized wounds. yet, we walk straight and embrace a fire until our eidgahs too echo with the verses of protest.

My respect to protesting UChicago student colleagues who, after being attacked yesterday by a gang of rightwingers of various stripes that entered the campus, stood firm and calm. Today they're hosting teach-ins on history and activism. And they're keeping the focus on Gaza.
Before the media does its thing, I want to emphasize: The encampment at UChicago is extremely well-organized, peaceful, and welcoming. It looks like a community: people looking after one another's well-being.
