I’m with you! This is one of the fundamental principles of Rawlsian liberalism, but boy is it hard to get undergrads to accept it.

The mass exodus from Shiv Sena and the fall of the government in Maharashtra shows that the majoritarian toxicity is so high in the country that it doesn't even allow people to transit from bigotry to sanity!

1. On Tuesday night when I went to bed I was hoping I wouldn't wake up in the morning. I hadn't done anything to take my own life, I just hoped that something would happen and I wouldn't wake up. Last night when I went to bed, I had the same feeling.

See how most of American media are united in their condemnation? The only difference is, if a coup happened against a new and democratically elected government in India, the media would have gaslighted protests and somehow found a way to help legitimise the coup.

The biggest story for the Indian media today should be the sheer cruelty and brutality of the UP police in Hathras in denying the rape and murder victim’s family even the dignity of a funeral for her. Would they have done the same with an upper caste family? Beyond outrageous

How many legal scholars, here in the US, have I talked to? They are watching the descent of India's Supreme Court with alarm. Once a shining jewel for the legal community worldwide, it has become an object of concern, and after the Bhushan judgment, will be an object of ridicule.

I cannot stress this enough -- Religion was generally not the key identity marker in Aurangzeb's India.
Aurangzeb taxed everyone, with a medley of taxes. What you paid depended largely on region, profession, time of year, etc. t.co/HLP4N94arM

Devastated to hear about the passing away of #RahatIndori sahab.
While his golden words will remain forever, it’s heartbreaking that he was taken away far too soon from all of us.
May Allah grant jannat to his departed soul & strength to his family to cope with this loss.

Beta. Don’t say something on social media that you won’t say to people in person. Words matter. Tone matters
You have a bright future ahead. It’s easy to call others an idiot; it’s harder to take a shot and remain graceful
Rise. Do the latter. I wish you luck twitter.com/DhruvadeepM/st

I wish that those NRI Bhakts who celebrate on harassment of Muslims in India get same treatment by citizens of Country they are residing in
Bigotry has corrupted moral/Ethical values of Indians

कई मित्रों ने गांधी और गांधी हत्या पर किताबें पूछी थीं। सौ से अधिक किताबों का नाम टाइप कर पाना सम्भव नहीं तो कुछ ज़रूरी किताबों की तस्वीर दे रहा हूँ। इसके अलावा नेट पर कपूर आयोग की रिपोर्ट मिल जाएगी। बाक़ी #उसनेगांधीकोक्योंमारा पूरी करके बिबिलियो दे दूँगा।

Calling all IAS officers, esp women. I’m sorry that you have to work alongside this misogynist creep. And these are the guys who will probably be in charge of implementing pro-women policies? This isn’t about the acting talent of anyone, it’s about demeaning a woman.

Misogyny and the wish to silence women who criticize are still so relevant, as I’ll be discussing in another context later this week. Stay tuned.

Archives | Such is the logic of modern misogyny that it demands female voices in the grand Ramayana tradition remain subordinate to male feelings. In order to understand Valmiki’s text, it is important to recover Sita’s voice.
