Authoritarianism is rising. War is raging. The planet is burning.
South Asia is at the center of it all—but mainstream media is failing us.
Jamhoor offers what they won’t: critical insight, progressive internationalism, radical horizons.

In this article, I ask what Sharjeel Imam’s prison writings can teach us about Pakistan, our dissident histories, and what we owe them.
Over the past few months I’ve been deeply fascinated by his work and highly recommend reading it if you haven't

I was looking for that endorsement and I came across this interesting interview. I enjoyed the discussions on the left and the problem of campism, the limits of statism and of course the Mignolo part.

Lol just remembered that Mignolo once endorsed a book by a right-wing Hindtuva nationalist. There was some serious questions raised: What ways can decolonisation (or Decoloniality) avoid the risk of epistemic/regional enclosure?

A powerful feminist take on the Iran war—refusing the false choice between imperial violence and state repression.
This important interview by @ania_loomba, a friend & supporter of HfHR, explores what real feminist solidarity looks like.
