A conversation with Prakash Kumar, on his must-read paper on agricultural modernisation in early 20c India. We talked on the longer history of the American interventions in rural India, and its implications for the postcolonial state. asianstudies.org/modernization-…

The U.S. backed Israel's Gaza blockade, cutting aid under "security" claims, yet condemns Iran for defending itself in Strait of Hormuz. Double standard: Israel's crimes are OK while Iran's defense against aggressors is condemned. International law is not tool of convenience.

Do I need to remind everyone with Israel's methods of "warfare" in 1982: the destruction of Ein Helwe Refugee camp (24,000 residents); the terror bombing of West Beirut (equivalent of 2 nuclear bombs); and the blockade and starvation of West Beirut (water, food, electricity...)?

Oxfam warns Israel is ‘deploying the Gaza genocide playbook’ in Lebanon and says its analysis ‘shows Israeli forces are also destroying water and sanitation infrastructure – including strikes near sites that were being rehabilitated after having been destroyed or damaged in the last war’

Over the next few weeks, we'll get to know if this is this generation's version of oveaseas Indians reposing faith in 'Fortress Singapore' and later making the long hard march after the Japanese overran Burma. ft.com/content/2baaae…

Something very disturbing about an influential publishing house teaming up with the police to seize xerox copies of books in a country where so many young people can’t afford original hard copies. What’s next? Armed anti-piracy units attached to publishing houses?
Penguin India@PenguinIndia

Over 20,000 pirated books seized in Delhi through a collaborative crackdown led by Delhi Police with Penguin Random House India, @SimonSchusterIN & @HayHouseIndia - one of the capital’s biggest anti-piracy actions. Read the full report: penguin.co.in/newsroom/major…

@pranesh The question isn't who owns the tech now; rather, will India use the expertise gained to begin building its own tech? Or even, do we have the capabilities and infrastructure to reverse engineer and then reengineer?

The equipment isn't Indian. The companies aren't Indian. The work culture isn't Indian. The trainers aren't Indian. The workforce is Indian. Make of that what you will.

"India has replaced China as the largest manufacturer of smartphones for the US in just four years. The latest iPhone in your pocket was made in India. They are doing the kind of high-precision manufacturing that people said only China could do," says Fareed Zakaria

@Chris_Iwanek Could argue that British 'pacification' of piracy in the Gulf in the 19c was in the same form - imposing imperial control of the waterways (in the guise of free navigation) against local polities?

The merchants who suffered due to the Portuguese blocking Hormuz included the Indian ones. Similarly, in the 17th century, the Dutch tried blocking the Indian merchants from entering Sumatra and the mouth of the Perak river and tried inposing passes on all merchant ships.

Attempts to control narrow waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, are far from new. In the 15th century, Byzantium used a giant chain, put across the water, to block the Golden Horn. In the 16th century, the Portuguese tried to block the Strait of Hormuz with their ships.

Even if the war ended tomorrow, we estimate that it would take at least four months to bring energy markets back to some semblance of normalcy: - it will take two to four weeks to rev up oil production, and up to seven weeks to restart Qatar's LNG plant - shippers may hesitate to transit Hormuz until there's been a long stretch without attacks or threats - once they resume, many will be in the wrong place: tankers that haul Middle Eastern oil to Asia are headed to pick up cargoes in America instead, and the round-trip voyage can take 90 days - finally, you'll have to bring refineries and regasification plants back online in importing countries, and that will take several more weeks And this is the optimistic scenario: the longer the war goes on, the longer the consequences will linger. economist.com/finance-and-ec…
