South Asians in Britain have a rich and proud tradition of political activism.

My review of the new Channel 4 series #Defiance which documents how our elders fought back against a vicious tidal wave of racism from street gangs and the state.

In the 1970s, British South Asians faced a vicious tidal wave of racism from street gangs and the state. A new series details how they fought back — for themselves and those that came after them.

Let's go 💪🏼

Populations get sick when you remove social protections, defund public health, and underfund primary care.

The sickness crisis in the UK is not caused by doctors issuing too many sickness notes. It's caused by years of harmful political choices.

Great news!

All power to the union!

I wrote about this struggle for Jacobin a year ago and teach this case in my course at Sussex.

Just going to remind people that the Spectator once wrote that I was ‘trying to bring Western culture to its knees’ just because I said it would be nice to see more than the same five faces on cookery shows all the time.

A ban on Muslim students expressing their faith at a London school has nothing to do with secularism’s triumph and everything to do with right-wingers shaping the education agenda.
