what is angering is that perhaps the largest sexual assault case of the year is being presented as some kind of salacious scandal instead of a violent crime, even by progressives who oppose it
Btw, not sex scandal. It is rape. Mass rape of women by a politician. Call it as that. Sold out mediahouses trying hard to minimise the issue.
Transparency is an essential feature of democracy. What we have from the Election Commission instead is opacity. As that newspaper tagline says, democracy dies in darkness.
Breaking: After issuing notification that the campus will be completely locked down for everyone except those residing in dorms in campus Columbia University asks even Pulitzer Hall to be vacated immediately. 🚨
Manipur, lest we forget. And no one has been held accountable for what the state has gone through for a year. Not even the CM.
Dear God, this has chilling parallels to Srebrenica.
One day people will frame this photograph in museums celebrating Palestinian liberation. Brilliant.

The corollary is that every vote for Modi is a vote for Prajwal Revanna, Brij Bhushan, and countless other scumbags whom the BJP have shielded and will continue to shield.

What's stopping us? Many things. 1. A government that treats protestors as potential terrorists. 2. A media that has completely surrendered infront of the ruling party. 3. A majoritarian society that cannot look within itself. 4. A justice system that has collapsed.

This is Dhruv Rathee's best video till date. It is a direct attack on the core of the propaganda. He makes a strong case against people who gain votes through anti-Muslim hate. Please share it with as many people as you can. Rathee is on 🔥.
multiple analysts have said that this campaign will likely be the end of Gaza's Christian population. they are wiping out bloodlines that literally date back to the time of christ.

Refaat Alareer wrote a poem called “If I Die,” asking people to fly a kite in his name if he’s killed to give hope to orphaned children. He wrote it for his daughter, Shaima. Israel killed him. Months later Shaima had a baby. Israel killed Shaima. And her husband and baby.

Don’t have answers but it’s clear that a decolonisation discourse that does not centre the dismantling of caste as a pre condition, in India, will merely substitute one evil with another in our minds.
Ambedkar takes this on, with support from western values (constitutional values) like equality and liberty - it’s difficult to argue that this isn’t essential or needed. +
And what do you do with minds like Gandhi who were certainly decolonial in rejecting western values but desperate to preserve caste (an equally oppressive, or perhaps more oppressive system) merely because it was the indigenous system. +
But there were also times where colonialism became a tool to escape the oppression of caste. For example Bhima Koregaon - which is technically a colonialist army defeating an indigenous army, but also a Dalit army defeating a “warrior caste” army. +
The British by and large preserved it because it’s rigid rule based order aided their administrative goals (see Mark Cubbon in Bangalore or Munro in the Baramahal districts, taken from Tipu in 1792) +
My struggle with Fanon in the context of the subcontinent is what do you when you have a similar segregated system of brutal inequality that predates colonialism but is indigenous. Caste. +
Decolonisation in India has to include debrahmanisation

These kids literally studied the Columbia archives from 1968, they reached out to protest vets, and now they are occupying the same buildings they did. Read our piece from last week on how the Columbia protesters are taking inspiration from 1968.
An anti-war movement is spreading on college campuses across America and beyond. Protests have been met with police violence, mass arrests and an unbending political class — all of which have only fuelled the demonstrations further. A hot summer of protest looms, and the stage is…
