Wonderful thread on The Majoritarian Myth by Manisha Singh 🙏🏻

Why has this happened? Risk motivates people to study reality and tune to real ideas. Conversely, if cut-off from the reality into a protective zone, people would do their best to remain there. Their perception of risk would be any risk to slip from that zone. Thomas Sowell Quotes

Shouldn't the title of the book be, "South Asia"?

Reading this staggering book by Kausik Gangopadhyay. A must read. From Garuda

This is an under-explored topic: The influence of Buddhist ideas on the Gospels of New Testament. (Even Vivekananda mentioned it sometime.) While we may never know whether Jesus Lived in India (book by Holger Kersten), it is certainly a line of research with better chance of a

Thank you Sanjeev Sanyal da for your continued support. My appeal to all critics is, to read the book and evaluate it rather than any ad hominem conclusion. I mind you that we have exclusively used resources from Bangladesh to see Bangladesh in the book.

Dear রায় সৌরভ গঙ্গোপাধ্যায় মজুমদার চৌধুরী, Feel free to remain deep in ignorance and not read my book to know the real meaning of Joy Bangla. You imagine a Bengal that does not respect Sanjeev Sanyal, a scion of Bharat. Tagore warned Bengalis about people like you. Preach not ignorance by associating

For Bangladeshis, the identity crisis runs deep - their Hindu past erased from language, history, and memory. When the destroyer of Nalanda is glorified as a pioneer of social liberation, what hope remains for truth? Kausik Gangopadhyay

This is a country hailed by the Economist as the Best country of 2024. This is exactly the country that releases an Al-Qaeda inspired terrorist from the jail. #joybangladeception

If some threaten to change their mother tongue from Assamese to Bangla, it shows one thing definitely: They don't care about their mother tongue and mother tongue is never their identity. They use the idea of the mother tongue to grab identity. #joybangladeception

"The 'Joy Bangla' Deception is more than a book. It is a warning, a manifesto, and a civilisational call to arms. It urges us to reclaim Bengal—not with borders or bombs, but with memory, narrative, and civilisational clarity." Great review of my work by Nabaarun Barooah at

The proposed Rohith Vemula Act demonstrates what Prof. Jakob de Roover of the Ghent University has written long ago: Brahmins are the Jews of India. Read here: hinduhumanrights.info/brahmins-are-t…

Why are liberals hypocrites? Liberals believe in a worldview in which the powerful must pretend to be victims for their right to rule. No wonder, they are who they are. R Jagannathan makes the point with the examples of Mamdani and Naseeruddin. theprint.in/opinion/naseer…

A very good post to start you day and week with!

Thank you! I would say, the understanding of language politics in Bangladesh and also in West Bengal is incomplete without reading #joybangladeception .

After watching Kausik Gangopadhyay da's interview on Upword, I was compelled to get the book. Being from Bengal, many of my myths about Bangladesh were shattered during the conversation itself. I'm delighted to have bought this copy and to make myself more aware of the reality.
