My new tek in @Outlookindia. SWORDS IN THE TIME OF SHOTGUNS More than anything else, the sword is about social status. It is about being a Kshatriya. It is about claiming the Kshatriya impunity. More than cut value, it is about cult value. Read & Share. outlookindia.com/national/sw…

"It is puzzling that [India's] claim of rising global stature is being made amidst deteriorating relative economic development. How do we make sense of this?"

"India's vulgar inequalities are staring back at us from all directions... Inequality denialism will only exacerbate India's ballooning inequality crisis."

"...for the first time in 150 years, a whole decade has gone by with no official comprehensive data on India or its people."

What is the point of accepting applications and abstracts of students from south asia when you can neither provide them funding (not even partial) nor hybrid mode to join in?!!! Frustrating!!

In research with young women, @AtJuliaKing and Olivia Theocharides-Feldman found that benches, as spaces to “hang out”, were essential but also contentious spaces.

Sprawling bazaar of nineteenth century Faizabad, Ayodhya district, bustling with fruit and food vendors, flower sellers, horsemen, hookah smokers, betel nut crackers, sugarcane bundles, turban tiers, and more. A shahrashob (the city of beauty/lament of a city) moment.

"India’s academic freedom index is in the bottom 30% among 179 countries... On a scale of 0 (low) to 1 (high), India scored 0.38... What’s ironic is that this score is lower than India’s bête noire Pakistan’s 0.43."
