As important as SP's Dalit candidate Awadesh Prasad winning from Faizabad (home to Ayodhya) is DMK alliance partner IUML's Navaskani, a Muslim, winning with a huge margin from Ramanathapuram (home to Rameshwaram). Two holy sites for Ram have rejected the BJP.

This is another excerpt from the interview that's worth a watch. The condescension from the journalist is off the chart, he's absolutely convinced of the supremacy of the Western system and he cannot fathom how the DRC president doesn't see it. Like in this exchange: - "The fact that [you partner with Russia and China] at the expense of democracies doesn't bother you? That these are authoritarian regimes? - "What is democracy?" - "There's a difference when you live in a democracy or in a dictatorship, I assure you there is a big difference." - "What is democracy? I went to China in May last year and I met Chinese people who I spoke to privately who told me they were happy to live in their country and in the system they are in. Who am I to judge this system and say it is not democratic?" - "You know very well these unfortunate folks are deported, arrested, tortured" The view of China and the Global South in general in France is truly batshit insane...

Student activism at its finest! @mcgillu students rename buildings⁦⁩ to remind us of Ga za - at a university that's made it v hard to protest gen0cide. Watch ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In a world full of vengeance and self-pity, the enormous sacrifice of Palestinians has occasioned an unprecedented global mobilization affirming dignity and justice. Let us not let this go to waste. Dedicate time and energy to humble collaborations across geographies and sectors

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Brilliant report by Channel 4 News on the reality of Israeli settlers. This was filmed for 14 months, so before October 7th. The settlers beat up a widow's son and kill her sheep, which forced her and her son to sleep in a cave. The IDF protect the settlers. Watch:

If such murderous cruelty is possible without apparent end then any manifestation of such is possible anywhere. Yet how to extend this "anything is possible" to the everyday decisions each of us must make in how we demonstrate solidarity in terms of love and generosity.

Just when I thought that decolonization could not be further turned on its head....

We have come to a world where asking to stop killing children is a "radical" position... a position that can get you fired from the so-called liberal universities of the "developed" world! No wonder the genocide continues.

Apology for this CfP in such unusual times. We @Shajed47 are organising a panel on “Alternative southern methodologies for epistemic justice” for the upcoming RGS-IBG. Please refer to images for more details. Look forward receiving abstract by 23rd February.

Four major Western news outlets covering the story of Hind Rajab, *none* of them use the word “killed” or “Israel.” This is not an accident, it’s a systematic effort to whitewash the crimes of Israel. And it’s complicity in those crimes.

A madrasa and a ‘namaz ghar’ (a room to offer namaz) were bulldozed today in an anti-encroachment drive in #Haldwani, Uttarakhand. A curfew has been imposed in Haldwani, & there are shoot-at-sight orders against miscreants. Read thread on the issue: Videos: Specially arranged.

In this new article @NatashaCornea & I discuss how imageries legitimise certain practices which would otherwise be unacceptable. The arguments extended to read the larger nexus of everyday knowledge hegemonies. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
