Two memories hold two different silences.In the space between them — the part no one taught us to name — misunderstanding grows, resentment takes root, and solidarity collapses before it begins.Colonial borders redrew not only land but the terms of memory itself.

Faith in a Box is live with Goya How does caste travel through packaging, branding, and the global spice aisle? What is moralised on the plate often becomes normalised in policy. goya.in/blog/faith-in-…

@Taravaggio Culture formed under rupture is still culture. When displacement is misread as absence, pride gets reframed as delusion. Diaspora wars often begin with a false premise: that Black Americans lack cultural legitimacy. That premise didn’t emerge organically. It was produced.

Which hand? We talk about eating with our hands. We rarely ask which hand. Power enters the body before we have language for it. 👇🏽 shorturl.at/XPmvi

Solidarity doesn’t collapse because people disagree. It collapses when hierarchy goes unnamed. shorturl.at/l1I4R For: @SapanNews @beenasarwar

We’re pleased to welcome Kavitha Rajagopalan as a Board Member of the BlindianProject. As the board comes into formation, we’re focused on building cultural infrastructure with care, accountability, and long-term stewardship.

Before consent, there was the kitchen. Reconstruction Studies 001 is now public — a foundational text on how power is learned before it’s named. blindian-project.com/post/before-co…

@NedBertz I love the quiet kinship between maharage na wali and rajma.

Nyumbani ('At Home') Swahili restaurant in Dongri reminds me of similar locales from my PhD fieldwork in Bombay on Africa-India connections. Delicious maharage na wali (beans and rice in coconut sauce) with a mutton fry. Chatted away with the Tanzanian cook and felt back in Dar!

They archive solidarity as the past. We archive solidarity as practice. BlindianProject histories.

Afro-Asian entanglement isn’t a metaphor. It’s a set of conditions people had to live through. Too often, the field studies connection from a distance — because proximity would implicate us.

Pressure cook ideas - stress test them - carve out all non essential parts

WHAT IF SOLIDARITY ISN’T BROKEN — JUST BUILT ON A PARTIAL STORY? Remember fully. Repair what we inherited. Reconstruct what comes next. This is Reconstruction Studies. This is BlindianProject.

Partition didn’t begin in Delhi, LDN, or Karachi. Its architecture began in Berlin. Before our diaspora tensions, there were borders we never drew. Sharing a framework I’ve been building — Reconstruction Studies — to understand Black × South Asian memory, silence, and solidarity

#Uganda. East Africa × South Asia × diaspora on one plate — not fusion, just history.
