.Drew University story on our edited book (with Deana Heath) - on Policing and Violence in India. The story also gave me a chance to share how our wonderful students have always inspired us in our teaching and research. drew.edu/2025/08/18/dre…

In this piece for Religion News Service, I contextualize Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s candidacy by looking at the experiences of Muslims in the post-9/11 period and how NYC in that period became a critical part of detention and surveillance of Muslims!

Sounds like Zohran Kwame Mamdani !!

Those who enable bigotry can also complain about bigotry!! Fine to do that but don’t pretend that you didn’t see it coming and that you didn’t see it in the room. That is insulting!!

On the anniversary of 9/11, it is important to think about its backlash and the impact. I wrote this piece recently in the context of Zohran Kwame Mamdani's candidacy, recalling the history of Muslim, Arab, & South Asian racialization in the post-9/11 period! religionnews.com/2025/08/20/for…

It is alright to acknowledge that you made a mistake and say sorry to South Asians and Southeast Asians!! This is particularly bad because your main opponent is a South Asian!

I am looking forward to be a part of this important conversation on Zohran Kwame Mamdani and the upcoming mayoral election!

How despicable: Andrew Cuomo used all kinds of sectarian divides against Zohran Kwame Mamdani . Pitting Sunnis against Shias, Hindus against Muslims, Jews against Muslims. What a desperate political playbook he has!!

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani spoke today passionately about vicious attacks on his Muslim faith & what the community endured in NYC since the 9/11 attacks. A few weeks back, I wrote how the context of 9/11 has been so important to understand his historic candidacy! religionnews.com/2025/08/20/for…

Happy to have written this a few weeks back about mayor elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani !

Racist Slur against Indian Americans popular among right wing nativists!! americanbazaaronline.com/2025/11/16/paj…

Trump and Mamdani meeting presents dangers for the Democratic party if they don’t change. Democratic hostility to Mamdani stands in complete contrast to Trump’s overtures to Mamdani! It does not endear Dems to Mamdani base!!
