As Gaza faces mass starvation, I wrote about Israel’s new militarised aid plan (to be run by a ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ headed by a former US sniper) and the call for a Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy to break the siege. abc.net.au/religion/as-ga…

@saranga_u By deploying the UAPA against journalists, researchers, and activists, the state is not merely undermining individual freedoms; it is systematically dismantling the foundations of democracy itself. @saranga_u✍️ thewire.in/rights/kashmir…

The last 11 months have been overwhelming and onerous, but I stole some time from my kids to write this on #Bandung for #AsianSILVoices, the blog by @AsianSil: cambridge.org/core/blog/2025…

Ah! while I would love to take credit for the article mistakenly attributed to me by @thewire_in I did write about madness of another kind - the kind that ties in State violence with Aadhaar and the act of 'living' in India - thewire.in/rights/of-many…

Feel like you want to create change but law school never taught you anything about how law works practically? Or how to create a legal intervention strategy? We've you covered Apply to YPPLE by March 20, 2025 forms.gle/cAHMD1PmtrWtuA…

A belated series of reviews of Violent Modernities on @critlegthinking. Wonderful folks offering beautiful words: Rebecca Johnson, @cf364, @CB_Aman, Rajgopal Saikumar. Grateful to @s_ranjan for seeing the series through. Here's Saikumar setting the scene: criticallegalthinking.com/2024/11/13/new…

We are all a little late to the review with "Ways of Remembering" already out - but Violent Modernities itself allows you to revel in slowness.

Belatedly sharing a review of @oishik_shakya's , Violent Modernities. I am joining some brilliant pieces by Rajgopal Saikumar, Rebecca Johnson, Cynthia Farid (@cf364), which much like the book, I learnt greatly from.

Andrew Brooks and I wrote on the repression of Palestine activities on our campuses, providing a record of forms of repression carried by unis & documenting Zionist weaponisation of antiracism, cultural safety & psychosocial safety to advance censorship. overland.org.au/2024/11/a-cult…

Exciting things coming at Part III! We look at over 60 decisions of the SC and HCs and ask if Courts have strengthened or neglected the framework of rights that enable us to occupy public spaces in acts of dissent.
