The biggest inequalities in life occur at birth. Some are born abysmally poor, some rich beyond imagination. This has nothing to do with their hard work & has no moral justification. This is the reason why an inheritance tax to curb inequality is a must in any civilized society.

Scenes from the last leg of my PhD fieldwork in Western UP (Saharanpur). Western UP seems more interesting and intriguing than Eastern UP.
Happy to share the most satisfactory piece of writing that I did in the last year. The book review of @Akshayamukul 's Agyeya finally appears in EPW. Ping me if you don't have access and want to read it. epw.in/journal/2024/1…
Glad to share that my article on 'Populism and Caste in contemporary India is out. I argue that, the “will of the people”, has found itself stifled in the clutches of “will of the few” reproducing dominant epistemic positions. doi.org/10.1007/978-98…
"while Hindutva is here to stay as a political force, it cannot ignore the politics of social justice" - so how will it fare in Tamil Nadu, where it faces challenge from Dravidian politics? Read my article on @frontline_india frontline.thehindu.com/politics/how-t…

Replug: In The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, Marx showcases how an unlikely trifling leader such as L Bonaparte was able to rule France 4 nearly 3 decades. The parable of Bonaparte probably best captures Nitish Kumar’s scandalous success. @pankajcps hindustantimes.com/opinion/the-se…

As Parliament is set to overhaul the criminal laws in the coming week, it is important to understand what is being passed in the name of decolonisation. Here, @mrinalsatish, @anushkapandey97, and I do a clause-wise comparison of the IPC and the BNS. nls.ac.in/blog/bharatiya…

Can a Caste Census Reverse the BJP's Advantage in Wooing Lower Castes? theindiaforum.in/forum/can-cast… @TheIndiaForum
Why has anti-caste politics ceased to be anti-communal? What has the "culturalisation" of caste done to Indian polity? My latest article for @TheIndiaForum delves into these larger problematics through the lens of #CasteCensus. theindiaforum.in/forum/can-cast…
A #CasteCensus may not transform the course of electoral politics. But bringing caste contradictions to the fore could give the social justice parties a strategy to woo lower castes that have drifted towards the #BJP. @pankajcps writes Read here: theindiaforum.in/forum/can-cast…
Don't understand the impulse to portray Shahrukh as if he is just 25. Atlee made this mistake in Jawan, and now Hirani is repeating it. Or is it Sharukh himself who decides? But one thing is clear: he looks really really bad in this quest to look younger. youtube.com/watch?v=9Z79T_…

Sadly forgot to take photos but a great discussion with the genuinely curious, open- and critically-minded students and faculty of CPS at JNU. Lovely.
In a village (caste) society, the systems of oppression, hierarchy & monopoly over it; are systematically institutionalised through various rituals, practices and “word of the elders” where everyone will try to “discipline” the one who asks or comments. #CasteRituals

The absence of a national political agenda, ruptures in political ideology and its limitation in challenging the right-wing juggernaut have arrested the revival of #Dalit politics today. #AmbedkarJayanti2024 -my article in today's The Hindu.
