@dontharrisme Looking forward to that section. I am half way through the part about the crimes.

@amanologue That’s incredible! A very gut churning section (the part about the crimes) is coming up but it’s important to get through that. The last section—about the obscure German writer—is some of the best fiction you will ever read.

Some novels I wish to reread/read under a different light at some point in future: 2666 Moby Dick The Magic Mountain Under The Volcano To The Lighthouse Anna Karenina Austerlitz Absalom, Absalom! Don Quixote Sula Pedro Paramo How about you folks?

Arriving a bit late to the reading table—my review of Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy is out now in the latest issue of the Book Review

A photograph which most of the pro-zionist western media will not carry. In a shot reminiscent of Danish Siddiqui's photograph of mass graves for COVID victims, this one captures the aerial view of graves dug for more than 150 children killed in an elementary girls school in Iran by the bloodthirsty Epstein army of US-Israel.

The state may have kept Prof. Hany Babu behind bars for nearly 6 years and his bail conditions now confine him to Mumbai. Yet his students' love for their beloved teacher remain as strong as ever. Today, a rose was quietly left outside his office at DU. Happy Valentine's Day :)

If there is one thing you read today, let it be this. Umar Khalid spoke to Apeksha Priyadarshini from jail. "What I really want those, who express solidarity with me, to understand is that I reject the victimhood that I’m often identified with by others. There is pain in this seemingly endless wait, indeed; but there is also a beauty to this pain. I’m content where I am, in spite of what I’m being subjected to, because there is beauty in knowing that this is not about me alone. My incarceration is not merely to target me as an individual; it is to teach my fellow comrades a lesson that anyone who dares to ask uncomfortable questions to the powers that be can, and will be, forcefully silenced without respite. Therefore, this battle that I’m fighting, too, is larger than me as an individual. This is why the language in which those, who believe in what I have to say, speak of me and others in this case needs to change. Ours is a battle for a vision—of a time in our society when some will not be more equal than others. This conviction is what makes this pain bearable. It’s almost Christ-like, or Bhagat Singh-like. Both sacrificed their lives for causes of the oppressed and there is beauty in knowing that this is the lineage of which I’m a part, in a history that shall be penned for the future." outlookindia.com/national/voice…

Happy to share some long-awaited news. A paper (long overdue since 2024) is now published by IACLALS. With @amanologue, I explore the absurd through humour and its link to Roy Andersson’s aesthetic of trivialism where transcendental Illogic and empirical logic quietly collide.

2024: Excerpts from EPW Articles on Films epw.in/engage/article…

A procedural lapse from the system — and the people pay the price. #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians #punjab

The Supreme Court’s decision on the 1158 posts is not just disappointing — it’s brutal. In a state where higher education has been gasping for breath, this judgment has pushed the qualified candidates into an abyss of uncertainty. #1158AssistantProfessorAndLibrarians #Punjab

Years of preparation, hope, and dignity — reduced to collateral damage in a chess game. Let’s be clear: this isn’t just a legal outcome. It’s a reflection of how casually system can gamble with people’s futures. Careers derailed, dreams shattered. #1158 #punjab

This is serious academic work in a news paper. Careful mapping and thinking of demographic and spatial shifts and their consequences.
