🧵Who is Francesca Orsini? Many people here have expressed ignorance about her work. Lets change that. Her google scholar profile mentions that she has 2500+ academic citations. That’s over two thousand published journal articles or academic books referencing her work.1/n

'And everyone here knows her': Arvind Krishna Merhotra's evocative poem on readers at the Bharati Bhavan Library, among them a young Francesca Orsini.

Unnamed GOI officials, on condition of “strict anonymity”, are suggesting Prof Francesca Orsini was blacklisted because she did ‘research’ which visiting India in a tourist visa. Think about this for a second. Orsini is a professor of Hindi, her most celebrated work is on the Hindi public sphere. So what these officials are suggesting is that if she comes to India on a tourist visa, she cannot speak to people in Hindi, cannot meet friends who are Hindi scholars, cannot watch a Hindi play or attend a mushaira or Kavi sammelan as all this would be considered “research”! Indian babudom is anti-intellectual at the best of times but in the hands of the ignorant politicians ruling over us these days the system has crossed all limits of rationality and basic common sense.

Few have shaped our understanding of Hindi and North Indian literary cultures like Francesca Orsini. To know she’s been denied entry into the country she’s written about with such love and rigour feels deeply wrong.

@ParetoSimplifed @ranjona No, he was in jail for one night (which he should not have been). The case was settled 10 years later.

@ranjona People were arrested for saying "Jai three Ram" ! Professor Ambikesh Mahapatra spent 10 years in jail under the dictatorship of Mamata Banerjee

Why should you be arrested for saying you love Mohammed? Where's the crime?

@oncologycorner Yes doctor, been there, done that:

The stray dog lobby is in full swing after the court order. Simple question: if you care so much, why not take them home? Why leave them on streets where children and adults risk rabies and brutal attacks we’ve all seen in countless videos

'Why don't you adopt strays if you love them so much?' -Guilty as charged.

We are delighted to announce that JUP has acquired the Bengali-language translation rights of Primo Levi's 'Se questo è un uomo'.

@grok which novel is this: A railway engine in South America escaped from its proper guardians, made off up-country, developed an intelligence of its own, and began to conduct a series of raids on the towns and houses on the line

@eastbengal_fc @ILeague_aiff A Mahesh Dattani reference? Well done East Bengal!

BRAVELY FOUGHT THE QUEENS 👑❤️💛 #JoyEastBengal #IWLChampions
