The upending of universities in the UK due to a lack of public spending has reduced academics to contractual problem fixers, one that we could get rid of. This easy, schematic understanding presents education as a product rather than a social good; also seemingly easy to dispose.

We are having a brilliant day with our students from Edinburgh at the University of Athens as part of their fieldwork learning. These are very precious moments of learning as universities shrink in value and face challenges.

Consider applying to this really important seminar funded by the ICSSR on Birsa Munda, anticolonialism and Adivasi struggles in India, organised by Dr Bipasha Lakra and Dr Juhi Minz. I will be delivering a panel conversation with Professor Virginius Xaxa and Dr Joseph Bara.

My work on "Memory as a Method: Textures of Anticolonial Legacy in Birsa Munda Rebellion" is now published in the TAKE on art An illustrative attempt at defining memory as method. Thanks to the Katia and Dilpreet for the invitation. takeonartmagazine.com/magazine/indig…

This is a thinly researched show with no reference to any original source. In a run-up to 150th year of Birsa Munda, political party is strengthening their narrative appropriation, often distorted, will cast away that this was primarily Adivasi rebellion. youtube.com/watch?v=1jzJ6y…

Marking a year at Edinburgh — hoping for a better world with students.

Editor’s copy has arrived 🌸

I'm really honoured to deliver the keynote at Exeter South Asia Centre, University of Exeter. I'm very much looking forward to learning from the panels throughout the day.

Someone drew a line long ago, and generations have been draining their blood in those trenches. Someone’s line becomes a generational curse — war; for so much pain is already endured.

One doesn't expect nuanced takes on politics& security from the hypernationalist circles in Ind&Pak. But the past week has revealed something more surprising. It’s the glaring gap in how some otherwise critical scholars (non-South Asianists) approach Ind–Pak relations 1/16🧵

An open attack on universities, whether through cuts or systemic neglect, demonstrates a fundamental gaping hole: withdrawal from the public good. Universities are fertile grounds for imagining the world in ways that foster care & solidarities. This is an opposition to system now

“Coal is everywhere but we get nothing from it. Only 20% [of the local population] get permanent employment. And there’s no land for rehabilitation because coal is everywhere. Today they will mine here, tomorrow there,” Brilliant work by Rishika Pardikar drilled.media/news/india-coa…

End of an era. Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s work was perhaps the first introduction to postcolonial literature as an undergrad. The gentleness of this book’s teaching and grounded ideas of worldmaking through language stays timeless. theguardian.com/books/2025/may…

📢 Dr Moyukh Chatterjee and I will be Co-Directors of the Centre for South Asian Studies, University of Edinburgh, from this Sept. Despite massive university challenges, we look forward to pursuing interesting conversations and lectures. If you are around the UK, reach out.
