You were in India?! Wonderful, Rabih. Did you write about your trip?

Please do, when you have the time. Really curious to know what you noticed and experienced. We have been enduring majoritarian right-wing fascism since half a decade now. Voices like yours are important for the world to note the rot we have brought upon ourselves.
Will wait.

About the right wing. At the Jaipur Lit Fest, I tore into Modi publicly on stage. The Hindustan Times ran a headline about that, I think first page, or maybe first page of arts section. I thought I was going to be put in jail or ran out of town.

Yes, even if you wish not to represent or perform your Arab identity or your Muslim name, you will be reduced to these immediate markers. That's what we have been witnessing in the massacres and lynchings on our streets. Worse, we are living our neocolonial nightmare in Kashmir.

^^ I love you more for doing this. Organizers canceled a talk with Chomsky at the Tata Lit Fest, a few days ago. And now they are going after the protesting farmers. It's just sad and the worst nightmare with all that's happening there.
