This video is both heartbreaking and life-inspiring. A film crew tries to film the destruction caused by US/Israeli bombing at an apartment complex in Iran. One of the tenants, an old man whose apartment has been almost completely shattered, insists on inviting the film crew in and offering them something to eat. "We have only come to film, we don't want anything," the crew says. But the old man insists on at least offering them oranges and apples. Ultimately, those who come out victorious from conflicts are those who retain their dignity. Who never let war make them lose their humanity and self-respect. Who, even in the worst of situations, insist on upholding sacred traditions and beliefs, including that of hospitality. That's what makes a civilization indestructible. Please remember this video and do your best to forget the videos of the lost souls dancing and cheering on the streets when their countrymen, women, and children were being killed by "democracy and freedom" bombs.

Images from a plane carrying Iran’s delegation to US-Iran talks in Islamabad show seats filled with photos and belongings of victims of the Minab school strike. The aircraft, “Minab 168,” honours the 168 killed, mostly children.

@SumanaSiliguri @SAAGanthology Wow! This is very interesting Sumana. The opening scene of Meghe Dakha Tara is something I often show to students but from a very different (film studies) perspective. Now you have given me more to think about.

Something remarkable happened on this day, 90 years ago … on 9 April , 1936. A galaxy of writers from different bhashas met at the Rifat-e-Aam Hall in Lucknow for the first of its kind All India Progressive Writers Association . Premchand came to deliver the Presidential Address

@Plebeian42 I am reminded of my own H1B days and the surprise and shock I felt after seeing all the shady H1B holders:)... (known as contractors in those days)

Eric Hobsbawm defined darkness not as a apocalyptic break but as the state where everyone "gets used to living under conditions which should not be tolerated". Getting used to livestream genocide, carpet bombings and now threat of imminent nuclear attack is living in darkness.

Madman Theory? Trump got summits with “little rocket man” Kim Jong Un last time around, but never in all my years reporting America at war have I heard anything like this: an American president threatens to destroy a “whole civilization” and says it’ll take 100 years to rebuild. Striking Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Israel warning people to avoid trains and stations, Trump threatening whole power grids, desalination plants, the nation’s bridges… Is this war still against the Iranian regime or now against a whole people?
