Whereas the media is busy focusing on the one big story, another critical story is unfolding — snowless winter in the Himalayas — a serious threat to the region’s economy & ecology. To understand more, I spoke to climate scientists. Read in @third_pole

Intertidal. A book I have been writing for 4 years will be born soon. It is a diary of deep observation - of coast, wetland, climate and self, and accounts of taking action to stand up for these life-sustaining spaces.

If you’re seeing #StopAdaniSavePulicat everywhere, watch: youtu.be/B69y1MtLNPs I made this video 2 years ago on coastal erosion, groundwater depletion, flooding that will arise if the Adani Port is given the green light for expansion

Kattupalli beaches all the way to the Pulicat estuary are important nesting ground for Olive Ridley sea turtles
@mkstalin and @CMOTamilNadu, your 2021 stance against the Kattupalli port expansion resonates with us.

Fresh off the press-My very first review article! I trace literature on slum redevelopment policies in India post-liberalization and highlight the silences on caste - both in terms of lived experience and how caste-capital nexus shapes urban materiality.

Paraya, Pulaya, Pallar people. They were enslaved, their lands taken away, and forced into corvee labor building temples, irrigation canals and ploughing wet paddy fields. There is extensive documentation of it #ps1

And who were these “people” who pulled these stones? Where is their history?

Chola empire was built on casteism and slavery. We need to engage with that history critically, sit with those uncomfortable truths, not sidestep it for the sake of competitive visions of grandeur.

9 years old kid from my own Meghwal community was killed by the oppressor caste teacher for touching the waterpot. Earlier Jitendra Meghwal was killed for sporting a mustache. There is no end to this caste terrorism which is killing Dalits for merely existing in Rajasthan.

Thrilled to share my newest article, available open access (!) in @qualsoc. The article looks at the extraordinary wave of mutual aid activism during the pandemic: how activists worked with digital tech (esp. Instagram!) and what this meant for them.

And no, the surveillance is not for "criminals" (whatever that means).
The state is using digital tools to curb dissent in India.

The Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act, 2022 — which authorises police to take biological samples of persons convicted, arrested or facing trial in criminal cases, and store these for up to 75 years comes into effect today.
Think this should be illegal? Here's a thread 👇
