I received an invite from the Biden administration for a Diwali event being held by the VP on nov 8. I decline any invitation from an institution that supports the collective punishment of a trapped civilian population—50% of whom are children.

Self-censorship doesn't just affect Indian viewers, but deprives >400M worldwide (combined Netflix+Prime customers) of the full creative range of Indian indie filmmakers. Kashyap, who was trolled, depressed, had heart attacks, shared his tale. Gift link: wapo.st/49IbArJ

Remembering Prof Mushirul Hasan this morning brought back jamia memories. The belief that if you can dream it, you can do it too. Visionary, critical thinker, historian- he was this and so much more.

Make the films about how you see the world and how you want to be see . Having problems with #Animal is going to change nothing. Thanks iamOnir for the post.

When dealing with a film about a minor Indian rape survivor, we would all do well to read up on the complex Indian legal system & accompanying tricky ethical issues regarding the disclosure of the identity of the survivor. #JustSaying

Just One Night produced and presented by cinemakasam and Anurag Kashyap . Many years ago when I met Anurag in Jamia he told me the only way is to make. Took me many years, many mistakes, many rejections and many heartbreaks but here I am.

Proud brown daughter of immigrants married to a white supremacist who wants to enact mass deportations of immigrants, being hailed as the republican Michelle Obama by an Indian American comic. I can’t tell if this is comedy, sarcasm, dystopia, or reality messing with my brain.
