Ppl r rightly mad about a new South Asian ('Indian') history textbook by an academician whose Twitter feed contains massive red (& bhagwa) flags. Just taking the opportunity to remind folks of a brilliant history textbook they might never have heard of. G. Aloysius's eye-opener:

The CfP for the UCLA Center for India and South Asia (CISA) Interdisciplinary Grad Conference (May 17 '25) is live. Please submit abstracts and share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Started reading the book 'Making India Work: The Development of Welfare in a Multi-Level Democracy' by Louise Tillin. An essential reference book for the scholars working on labour, welfare, and rights of the workers in the neoliberal regime.

In the public health literature on India, one thing folks like me dont agree with is the persistent belief that India is 'resource-poor' or has 'insufficient funds' for taking care of its people. Awesom that back in 1971, KS Sanjivi had already made this point: India ain't poor.
