Let me very clear on one thing. Just because a few of you think i am arrogant for merely putting forward an opinion in public domain, i am not going to keep shut. Never ever. My training in school, college, university, offices, streets and real life has taught me to speak up.
You may have a problem in the tone in which i take down anyone trying to bully me with their patronising version of who i am and with what intent i do what i do. But i am not going to change this ‘attitude’ for the larger good of bullies who wish to box me in set moulds.
A heart-rending, melancholic piece on #Shikara searchkashmir.org/2020/02/artist…

Curious eyes of Muslim kids peering over a KP for they haven’t seen one, evocative scenes where Shanti lays out Rogan Josh in refugee camp, Shiv’s claiming of his brother’s coat - #Shikara makes one weep.

सुंदरकाण्ड में श्रीहनुमान और माँ सिया के बीच संवाद में एक रोचक प्रसंग है। राम के प्रति अगाध अनुराग रखने वाली सीता घोर असमंजस में हैं कि वानर हनुमंत और मनुष्य श्रीराम में मेल कैसा। ये शंका इतने हल्के में लेने वाली चिंता नहीं है। चराचर जगत् के हरेक जीव से अनुराग रखने वाली सिया..+
+अशोक वृक्ष से मूल्यजनक संवाद करने वाली वो सीता जिनके लिए मृगछौ तक छोटे बालक हैं, वो जानकी जिनकी मिथिला से विदाई के समय या अवध से वनगमन के समय पूरी प्रकृति रो पड़ी थी, जिनकी एक चीत्कार से गृध्रराज जटायु अपनी जान पर खेल गए, उस सीता के लिए वानर-मनुष्य की मैत्री अचम्भा क्यों?..+
+इसलिए क्योंकि वाल्मीकि रामायण में अयोध्या काण्ड और अरण्य काण्ड में सीता-राम के परस्पर कई संवाद हैं जिनमें पति-पत्नी की सैद्धांतिक रूप से ठन गयी है। वन को ऋषि मुनियों की शान्ति के लिए पशुओं और राक्षसों से विहीन करने को तत्पर अवध कुमार प्रकृति से पारिवारिक नेह रखने वाली मैथिली..+

The kind of documentation Leftists do is worth looking at (not endorsing emulation). Just look at @kavita_krishnan ‘s wiki profile. Look at the highlights in that profile &laugh at the sterility in intellectual caucuses of the leftovers of Left.
Between 2006-2011(my years of grad and post-grad) this lady often visited DU campus on some pretext to spew venom against the State.We assumed she was some professor.She was never formally introduced. Now I wonder how connected they are to get such routine access across academia.
I wish we students then had the kind of information symmetry &zeal to investigate pronouncements as we have today! From movie screenings to guest lectures to subtle intellectual nudges towards an ideological trajectory, these guys did all &much more without any credible dissent.

A successful, super rich actress who tom-toms about her commercial success akin to the most popular among male co-stars seeking refuge of safety in taxpayers’ paid govt. security doesn’t go down well with logic - feminist and/or financial prudence.

I will explain. (Thread)
First,no one in the taxpayers’ hard earned money led govt. should be for responsible for any private citizens’ irresponsible&malicious statements.

Second,if one makes a conscious &informed choice to speak,one must be wo/man enough to defend what one says without playing victim.
Third, the fact that she is a gutsy woman can not be used as a license to twist the question of illegality of construction to personal victimisation alone. For all moral grandstanding, why not put out papers in the public domain&then continue with the praiseworthy personal might?

Had admired some of the academic works of this person. Didn’t know that someone like her too can’t accept genuine criticism.

She quoted a mathematically dishonest argument to establish that NE Indians suffer less racism than South Indians. Merely pointing that out meant 👇 Image
I mean, what is it with non-left self appointed ideological guards?Why so touchy for no goddamn reason?I rarely indulge in harmless Twitter banter. While i was in a jovial exchange between @Iyervval @Abhina_Prakash &an ex-colleague, this person with many others chose to jump in..
..&nitpick on the word ‘Madarasi’ that was used bereft of any political intonations. Having studied English literature formally &Hindi literature informally (and studied well!), i guess i know how to use sarcasm or subversive humor to drive home a point.

Find it really sad..

I will, in this thread, debunk these slanderous and carefully crafted lies by @devduttmyth and in order to do so will quote ONLY from learnt musical verses inspired by Lok reception of SiyaRam in Mithila, that is Bihar (historic reception).

1st song at the onset of wedding:
दूल्हे के मंडप में बैठते ही इस गीत से उसका स्वागत होता है। कहिये ना @devduttmyth जी कैसे श्रीराम के नाम को बिहार और मिथिलावासियों ने भुला दिया?

Have to call out Aditya Mani Jha. I wrote a few book reviews while he worked at the Sunday Guardian. Used to pitch my book choices &reviews to his boss &him. Later, as happened with many in media (over political views), he distanced himself, blocked me &spread canards &lies.
Let me explain the extent of this passive harassment via slanders - he confessed right here on Twitter how he ganged up against me with several of his editorial friends to ensure i don’t get published. I didn’t respond because it was &still is a royal waste of my time &mind space
Aditya has extended his petty one sided fight to a shoddy write up in @firstpost &maligned the reputation of my book. I challenge him to prove that in our book we have ‘conflated’ the identities of Bangladeshi Muslims &Muslims speaking Bangla in Assam. He needs to be called out.
