On 21/2/25, we honoured Malcolm X at the Shaheed Udham Singh Welfare Centre, marking 60 years since his assassination. Organised by the Indian Workers Association (GB) & MX 60 Collective, we reflected on his legacy of resistance, justice & empowerment.

As Ramadan comes to a close, I hope your duas 🙏 & time spent in worship are accepted. Despite my mother's early departure in this blessed month, I have found comfort in her soul departing when the doors of mercy are wide open, may God grant her a peaceful eternal abode, Ameen

He’s wrong. We all speak with an accent. But attitudes to accents can be rooted in racism & cultural superiority. Speaking in a French accent elicits very different reaction to Indian one. I’ve been very conscious of that in my professional life. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

In this slaughter of the innocents, there are many, many sickening things. None more so than the silence of liberals otherwise happy to build lucrative careers in academia & media on the backs of black ppl's historic suffering. But cat got their tongues come Palestinian lives.

500 murdered in a hospital . This is collective punishment. Will English Premier League still fly Isreal flags? Where are sanctions? Where are the ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leadership. War crimes without impunity & with western complicity. Breathataking hypocrysy.

There can be no justification for this. None whatsoever. If people can not be safe in a hospital, where can they? This attack must be unequivocally condemned in the strongest possible manner Ceasefire is needed now. Innocent men, women & children must be allowed to leave Gaza
BBC News (World)@BBCWorld

Hundreds of people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza, according to Palestinian officials Follow the latest ⬇️

I am sickened that this is actually happening. Completely inhumane. The images that have been coming out are haunting. How can anyone feel like this is appropriate or ever has been appropriate?? Haunting images that we cannot ignore. These are people. Innocent people.

Thanks to @mukhtardar260 for the invitation, and to the IWA, @WeAreBRIG, and The Heath Bookshop. And I got to see the gorgeous new Grunwick Strike mural on Soho Road on my way (from a bus window anyhow).

It was an honour. I was inspired by the depth of your knowledge & intellect & how you used them to construct an original & much needed narrative for our times. You genuinely enlarged the pool of knowledge for everyone. Thank you. I hope we get to collaborate again.

I had the honour of being interviewed by @RajwinderSPal last night with a phenomenal crowd at the Shaheed Udham Singh Centre in Handsworth. There was a lively discussion after: how do we reconcile the contradictions in union history? How can we find solidarity in race and class?
