Diamond Open Access = no APCs, no paywalls, no exclusion. Research funded by the public must remain a public good — not a commodity. #DiamondOpenAccess #NoAPCs #KnowledgeCommons #OpenAccess #OpenScience

The 3rd Global Summit on Diamond Open Access will be held in Bengaluru, India, from 2–6 February 2026. This global gathering will focus on collaboration for equitable digital infrastructures and knowledge commons, with special emphasis on agriculture and public-good research systems. 📍 Bengaluru | 🇮🇳 India #DiamondOpenAccess #KnowledgeCommons #OpenScience #openaccess

🎥 ECPS Interview / VIDEO 📘 Dr. Laura Rovelli: Milei’s Anti-Science and Denialist Policies Undermine Argentina’s Scientific Institutions ✍️ Interview by Selcuk Gultasli 🇦🇷🔬 Argentina’s knowledge ecosystem is in crisis. In this powerful ECPS video interview, Dr. Laura Rovelli (@_CLACSO, CONICET & UNLP) explains how President Javier Milei’s libertarian government is dismantling the core pillars of public science, universities, and evidence-based policy. ⚠️ “The government has deployed anti-science and denialist rhetoric that seeks to discredit and undermine the institutions of science and higher education,” says Dr. Rovelli. Key points highlighted in the video: 📉 Drastic budget cuts to science & education 🧪 Frozen research careers 🏛️ Dismantling of science and human-rights agencies 📚 Attacks on universities accused of “ideological capture” 🌎 Denialist narratives on gender, inequality & climate change 📌 Dr. Rovelli situates Milei’s policies within global far-right currents—from Trump to Bolsonaro—while underscoring their distinctively anti-national dimension in Argentina. She also highlights vibrant networks of resistance: unions, students, feminist movements, and academic coalitions defending public knowledge and democracy. 🎯 A must-watch for scholars and practitioners studying populism, democratic erosion, and the politics of knowledge. ▶️ Watch the video: youtube.com/watch?v=pcgJP9EB… 📖 Read the interview: populismstudies.org/dr-rovel… #Argentina #JavierMilei #AcademicFreedom #ScienceUnderThreat #HigherEducationCrisis #Populism #DemocraticBacksliding #KnowledgeCommons #LatinAmericaPolitics #ECPS

Who was Sree Narayana Guru (1856–1928)? 🧭 Philosopher-saint, poet, reformer → architect of Kerala’s social renaissance. Fought caste oppression with message: 👉🏽 “One caste, one religion, one God for humankind.” ✋🏽🕊️ #UPSCPrelims #KeralaRenaissance #GS1 #SocialJustice ⚖️ Aruvippuram Pratishta (1888) Guru consecrated a Shiva idol as a non-Brahmin. Symbol = equal right to worship. Quote: “Not Brahmin’s Shiva, but Ezhava’s Shiva.” 🔱 Catalyst for temple-access movements. #Equality #TempleReform #UPSC2025 #GS1 📜 SNDP Yogam (1903) Founded Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam. Leaders: Guru (President), Dr. Palpu, Kumaran Asan. Mission = education, dignity, upliftment of backward classes. 🏫🤝 #CivilSociety #GS2 #Organization #KeralaRenaissance 🪞🪔 Mirror & Lamp Temples At Kalavancode, Guru installed a mirror instead of idol. Message: divinity is within oneself; knowledge > rituals. #RitualReform #SymbolicPolitics #EthicsInAction #GS4 🏡 Aluva Advaita Ashram (1913) Hub for inter-caste dining Advaita philosophy in practice. 1924: Hosted India’s first All-Religions Conference. Harmony as “medicine” for a divided society. 🤝🕊️ #Interfaith #Tolerance #GS1Culture #GS4Values 🚶🏽 Vaikom Satyagraha (1924–25) Guru guided temple-road access movement. Mahatma Gandhi visited in 1925 → dialogue with Guru. Marked beginning of Kerala’s rights revolution. 🚫➡️🛣️ #VaikomSatyagraha #CivilResistance #GS1 #GS2 📚 Literary Works – Ātmopadeśa Śatakam (1897) 🧘🏽 – Jāti Nirṇayam (critique of caste) ✋🏽 – Daiva Daśakam (universal prayer) 🕊️ Translated: Iśāvāsya Upaniṣad, Tirukkural, Ozhivil Odukkam → Malayalam. #GS1Culture #Ethics #KnowledgeCommons 🎯 Sivagiri Pilgrimage Goals (annual meet): Education 🎓 Cleanliness 🧼 Devotion 🙏🏽 Organisation 🤝 Agriculture 🌾 Trade 💱 Handicrafts 🧵 Technical training 🔧 Blueprint for nation-building. #GS3Skills #Inclusion #HumanCapital 🧠 Philosophy in Action Advaita → equality, brotherhood. Slogan: “Enlightenment through education, strength through organisation, prosperity through industry.” Ahead of his time in linking ethics with economy. 📈 #GS2 #GS3 #SkillIndia #PublicPolicy 🌾 Legacy – Inspired 1936 Travancore Temple Entry Proclamation 🚪 – Centenary of Guru–Gandhi meet recalled in 2025 🇮🇳 – Echoes in today’s SDGs: Education (4), Inequality (10), Health (3), Work (8), Institutions (16). 🌍 #GS1 #GS2 #GS3 #GS4 #SreeNarayanaGuru 👉🏽 Final Takeaway for #UPSC2025 Guru’s method = Symbolism → Organisation → Policy Outcomes. From Aruvippuram ➡️ SNDP ➡️ Vaikom ➡️ Temple Entry. Ethics social reform governance = complete UPSC answer-frame. ✍🏽🔥 #UPSCMains #EthicalLeadership #KeralaRenaissance

Wisdom is the currency of the Cognicist economy. Not hoarded in private vaults, but circulated freely, enriching all who touch it. The more we share, the wealthier we become. #KnowledgeCommons

I just read this very interesting piece - @krvarshney suggests, that AI alignment be decolonialized using three forms of openness: openness of models, openness to society, and openness to excluded knowledges. #knowledgecommons #opensource #AI
