What is 🇨🇳China's preferred endgame in the 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine war? A 'hybrid peace' What does it mean and why it is a trap for the West? Thx @9DashLine @ManaliKumar for publishing my essay 🙏 9dashline.com/article/chinas…

How do you fix a sick culture? Asking for a country of 1.4+ billion people. It doesn't matter if you are a few months old or an old woman. You are not safe at home or in school or in a hospital. Even cops will assault you. Sickening. Heartbreaking. and so deeply shameful.

Some news & a short thread: A paper written by @k_natallia and myself is out, in which we show how a Radio Pakistan Show, called Talqeen Shah, was used by the state to craft an identity narrative of solidarity with the Khalistan movement doi.org/10.1080/174487… #IRTwitter

Didn't even make it to 300. Oh to be a fly on the wall at the BJP HQ. What an election!

Really looking forward to sharing some of my research on how national identity can help us understand democratic backsliding in India. Many thanks to @AsiaSocietyCH for the invitation!
