This book is such an eye-opener. I'm about halfway through and I highly recommend it. Especially if you're an Indian.

@ZulkarnainSaer Amazing

A good friend sent me this earlier today, and I'm absolutely blown away. Joyeeta Datta, a secondary school student from Narsingdi, Bangladesh, performed 'I See Red' (by Everybody Loves an Outlaw) incredibly well. She's only 15, but her mature control over such a difficult track truly deserves respect. Well done to 'Yamaha Next Gen Fusion' for introducing us to Joyeeta. All the best to this young lady.

@radhikabordia The so-called Bengali exceptionalism has been a pre-occupation of upper-class/ upper-caste Hindu Bengalis, who have been deeply communal for a long time. It has been a convenient cover to hide their communalism.

"Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

@GhoshSamyak Happy Birthday!

Another year around the sun! 🥳😌

@puram_politics Or maybe the pre-vedic goddess Sitola?

Lord Rama is not even worshiped in Bengal. Why would anyone say that there? Maybe you should try Durga or Kali?

Once upon a time May 1 was celebrated as Labour Day. Now few care. We’re a country run by big money in the hands of small men. 🤔

CPI(M)'s Bikashranjan Bhattacharyya has given an interview dismissing the gravity of SIR, and calling Hindutva hegemony the "Islamification" of Hinduism. Is this the party's line, in this time of mass disenfranchisement of Bengali Muslims and violent Islamophobia across India?

JUST IN: Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman, dubbed "the next Mamdani," is now projected to win the LA mayoral election. 60% chance she leads the City of Angels.

As New York State considers anti-caste legislation, I offer my support as a U.S.-based scholar of South Asian history. #caste #castediscrimination #NewYork #equality

I lost my father to the politics of hate and division. I will not lose my beloved country to it too. Love will conquer hate. Hope will defeat fear. Together, we will overcome.

@gauravsabnis Also, in terms of religion, too, you have Hindu and Muslim Marathis, sure, but you also have Christians (East Indians), Jews and Zoroastrians ( Gujarati speaking, to be sure, but many have acquired fluency in Marathi).

Marathi is the most linguistically diverse of all Indian languages in terms loan words & their source languages. Because it's been a multi lingual place for centuries. Farsi Arabic Portuguese English in addition to Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Dakhani, Konkani.

This is New Zealand. The current temperature is 13°C with 100% cleanliness and maintained infrastructure.

Bangladesh managed to surpass India’s GDP per capita just by making socks and t-shirts. Imagine how the rest of India is living if you took away the small sliver of people employed in the tech industry.

Today's temperature in Delhi at Two different places at the same time. Imagine and feel how it feels to get scammed.

Yeah this isn't a 'good one'. This is fucking disgusting.

@TVMohandasPai @kaushikcbasu Are these also currency issues? Highest number of stunted children in the world Highest number of illiterates in the world HDI of 130 out of 193 countries World Hunger Index -102 out of 123 countries Infant Mortality Rate - 55th in the world

Idiotic comments. Expect economists like @kaushikcbasu to have some sense. This is a currency issue. Have a look at PPP
