AnnieZaidi Radha Dr Katherine Schofield 🇬🇧🇦🇺 Henna Rai Pervaiz Alam manish gaekwad Yes, the frustration is that other SLB sets had the power to transport you to that specific time instantly despite of their extravagance.

That magic first faltered with Bajirao. Now it’s so generic it’s hard to believe that it’s undivided India from the 40s!

Most white American “conservatives” do not actually believe in limited government as a principle, they just believe in limiting government support for Black and brown people. This is why they also believe in EXPANDING government when it comes to police, prisons and surveillance…

Some of the occupants of the mass grave found at Nasser hospital showed signs of having been buried alive. Others were children, others still medical professionals with their hands tied. They can repair the window.

Israel murdered this man, a Palestinian truck driver named Ahmed Yassin. He was delivering aid to northern Gaza which has faced extreme famine imposed by Israel and its imperial cronies for months. He was shot and killed alongside other truck drivers who were injured.

This is what those rubber bullets are doing to UCLA students - he was shot in the face.

Rubber bullets? Have you lost your mind UCLA? You are using rubber bullets against unarmed protestors who are *students* of your uni demanding you divest from genocide. You are attacking them to facilitate a quieter genocide. Fantastically gross legacy.

They are teargassing your daughter instead.

What does the BJP’s expenditure look like? District offices: Rs 2,661 crore
buildings: Rs 900 crore
State polls: Rs 16,492 crore
Lok Sabha: Rs 54,000 crore
Total- Rs 87,750 crore. Where is this money coming from and where is it asks ⁦m rajshekhar⁩ m.thewire.in/article/politi…

Out today, the tale of a striking paradox. 'Even as Indians struggle, the economics of the BJP has seen a dramatic improvement.' The party is, for one, building new offices + outspending rivals in the polls. How deep are its pockets, ask The Wire and I. thewire.in/politics/the-r…

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

Only 1 episode down but am quite mad about the foolish tawaif vs poet (shaayra) binary. Poetry was the one thing courtesans were utterly immersed in. Many courtesans did write their own poetry. Very stupid representation of a tawaif trying to choose between performance & poetry

Dr Katherine Schofield 🇬🇧🇦🇺 Henna Rai Pervaiz Alam manish gaekwad Agree re: Urdu/Awadhi culture. Sakal Ban is ❤️, but it’s strange to not reference Punjab’s Sufis, or the many any shrines hugging Heera Mandi, esp. Daata Darbar. Also, a jarring lack of regional specifics on costume, & esp. the lack of Sikhs! Or indeed, non-Muslim courtesans! 2/2

Dr Katherine Schofield 🇬🇧🇦🇺 Henna Rai Pervaiz Alam Miffed by the scale on which it lacks fidelity within a Lahori context. It is more keen to focus on the visual spectacle of the courtesan than her lived experience. As manish gaekwad said there are few/no scenes showing ‘riyaaz’ or the hours courtesans devoted to practice. 1/2

“Ruined the market” because human beings are choosing to work where they have some community.

After 7 months they still have no tools to dig children from rubble. The horrors continue for the Palestinians while Zionists are insisting we prioritise their feelings. Mad fucking world where they are actually prioritised!

should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

In his letter from Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King, Jr., told us the white moderate “is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice” and said this is someone who “prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”

The Museum of Popular Art in Alwarthirunagar, Chennai, is hosting a retrospective of work by Jeyaraj Fernando (who illustrated Pushpa Thangadorai's 'My Name Is Kamala' & 'Highway 117' featuring Karate Kavitha, both featured in our Tamil Pulp anthos).

Shameful and detestable words coming from the office of PMO that should be governing the people of India as a whole.

No proof required that this man did incite rioting in his state and will burn the country with his delusional rhetoric.
