As we proceed with our discussion on the representations of #soldiers in a variety of #media, specific to the #british army, #indiansepoys during the #worldwars @dStephenB unveils a set of #paintings and #posters this is part of our colab, a thrilling initiative by @MuseumBuddy
These are #handwoven #silk #saris made in #Murshidabad in #Bengal in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Called ‘Baluchari’ sari as they were woven in the land near the river Bhagirathi which flows by Murshidabad. ‘Balu’ means ‘sand’ & ‘char’ means ‘bank’ in #bangla #language 
If you look carefully at these saris, they depict #European #soldiers with their #armsandweapons in their #traditional #costume they definitely caught the fascination of the local #weavers yesterday we saw the soldiers on #femple #terracotta and now on #textiles @MuseumBuddy
I am looking for a program &/or resources that help teach #Somali to our children.
Like lots of 2nd gen ppl the #language our parents spoke is now firmly my 2nd language. I'm interested in ideas that promote #multilingualism, feel free to share & tag others. #online #clubs

@Poetic_Nomad @SomaliKids @thesailorsgirl @MohammedAArtan @numbiarts @AliAbdi_ @SamOfSomalia @HannaAli @Rooble2009 @Gulaid1 @robjama I sometimes feel that passing on a #language is harder for us 2nd & 3rd gen ppl. Although we were born & raised outside 'wadankii', the dynamics are different for our youth now. Interested to know what the educators think?

Thank Q #SomaliTwitter, I learned a lot about this today through conversations both on & offline. There is a lot of talent in our community, enough to design solutions to this & other challenges. My parents came to UK in the 60's, I grew up in the 80/90's. @WaaberiPhone 1/2
"Anustup"/ "অনুষ্টুপ" is a 54 year old independent #Bengali literary & cultural journal (ISSN: 0974-2697). It is now officially recognized by @ugc_india on their list of approved journals. Scholars publishing in #Bangla/#বাংলা pls consider subscribing & publishing. cc @maitreesh
Regional language journals are dying across #India. Anustup doesn't even have a decent website because it doesn't have resources. It will only sustain if more people subscribe to it. Please write to Anustup at anustuppotrika@gmail.com
And the list of people who have published in this journal will surprise you. It includes (late) Ritwick Ghatak, (late) Hemango Biswas, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Arindam Chakrabarti, Partha Chatterjee, Maitreesh Ghatak, and many others. So do engage!
Here's the thing about the #CAA. Govt Ministers say repeatedly that it's objective is to help Hindus and other faith migrants who had to flee majoritarian relig. persecution. If that was the sole objective then how would it NOT have been met with Sec 2 amended as below? How?
If the Govt cannot argue that my proposed amendment would NOT HAVE helped Hindu etc persecuted migrants then they will have to accept that the sole purpose of EXCLUDING muslims in #CAA was to discriminate against them. That's as maybe.. but there's worse to follow...
URGENT SPREAD THE WORD!!

There’s lesser sense of wonder and more logic in the world today... the youngest Jnanpith award winner, author Amitav Ghosh feels! His surprise in finding that most of the people he interacted with in Venice were Bengalis, his way of dealing with the human spirit in his writings,
and if he locks himself up while writing are some of the things that he discussed with the Director @shekharkapur The more than 100 year Royal Opera House proved to be the perfect venue for such a creative dialogue with so much laughter. #Shakespeare was smiling up there 😊
Didn’t waste any time to thank him for his outstanding #research for his books which helped me with the #BiharMuseum project One of my most ever favourite #authors @GhoshAmitav smiled in reply with a surprise while conversing in #Bangla Thank you Sir 😊Yes, we are all migrants!
