Manusmriti, no matter which translation you chose to rely on, is an insidious weapon of oppression that violently robs people of their dignity. You don’t have to read it or debate its relevance. It lives & breathes in our homes. This is what Ambedkar choose to symbolically burn.
I spent the past few days reading everything I could, and the conclusion I am left with is this -Manu’s text is an act of political exclusion that strengthen and supports the edifice is social exclusion. Social inequality is not only cultivated. It is violently upheld.
But Mhd has to be read in confrontation with Ambedkar’s Constitution today. A book that states that we are all equal — that we need a social and political revolution to achieve that equality is being quietly and quickly being remade.

This is where we are:
Law school asks Shilpa Singh, an assistant professor to explain her method/material of teaching, after members of ABVP,complained that she “promotes socially hateful thoughts about a particular religion, community and group of people” indianexpress.com/article/cities…
The topics ABVP found four topics offensive. 1. ”teachings of Manusmriti”. 2. Rohith Vemula)3. M M Kalburgi and Dabholkar (rationalists and activists who were murdered) 4: ”issues with a response to a particular query on beef” the prof had shared.
”Since Monday, Singh has begun to record her online classes — as they now form “evidence of her style of teaching”

The surveillance logic will now govern everything.

This is not exceptional — this is normal. If you are racially not white and have a name that isn’t similar to Cody, Karen or Kelly, how you are referred to is also a way of putting you in place.
“In other words, mutilating someone’s name is a tiny act of bigotry. Whether you intend to or not, what you’re communicating is this: Your name is different. Foreign. Weird. It’s not worth my time to get it right. “

After a febel attempt at pronouncing your name, I hear — ”such a pretty name, what does it mean in your culture.” I don’t know Alison, what does Alison mean in your “culture” 🤷🏽‍♀️. But I am not worried about how my name is pronounced, am worried what happens come to NOV

I taught a credit course in @NUJSKolkata in 2015 & gave a lecture last year. Even in 2015, some of its male students displayed blatant misogyny. Apart from some rude remarks post lecture, I have seen more of its male student behave this way. Not be returning to this campus again
It is not just this campus— or this boy. The number of young men who disrespect the women in public spaces, especially women they disagree with, is now normalized.
Post lecture, one of the students asked, “ what do you have to say for your self. Imran Khan retweeted you.” — the tone was accusatory, and this was the level of discourse. A bunch of female students jumped at my defense, but still a good reflection of where we are.

A good time to remember that U.S. journalist, Rukmini Callimachi took thousands of ISIS files out of Iraq, reigniting a bitter dispute over the theft of Iraqi history.

This was flagged by many folks, especially Iraqi scholars.
interc.pt/2khSdhB by @MaryamSaleh
“Farhan emailed Callimachi to ask if she got permission from Iraqi government officials to take the documents, and if she got consent from the people named in the files to publish their names.”
“Farhan didn’t hear back, so she worked with two legal scholars to launch a petition calling on the Times to rethink its use of the documents.”
