Trying to figure out exactly why such a fine, fine writer's account of the Muzaffarnagar riots is deemed not okay for Indians to read.
Joe Sacco's 'The Once and Future Riot'.
Is it the title? What else?

جوئی سیکو کی کتاب ’دی ونس اینڈ فیوچر رائٹ‘ فرانسیسی میں شائع ہو چکی ہے، اور ہندوستان میں امید کی جا رہی تھی کہ اس کا ہندوستانی ایڈیشن – انگریزی میں، جلد ہی قارئین کے ہاتھوں میں ہوگا۔

Higher concentration of wealth *by definition* means more inequality, more labour exploitation, and less democracy.
We should not be okay with the existence of trillionaires.

This could well be the reason Indian tourists break into impromptu garba on foreign shores? Not every one gets this kind of reception. Our influencer PM has given wings to this cocktail kuchipudi. Why should his bhakts be blamed for creating nuisance in public places abroad?

Hyderabad: Sonam Wangchuk told the protesters, “Aap sab sangharsh karo, main aapke saath hoon,” while declining the protesters’ chants of “Hamara neta kaisa ho, Sonam Wangchuk jaisa ho.”

“gathering peacefully for prayer acquires the force of civic affirmation.
Muslims praying publicly sends one message. It says: Muslims are here, they belong here, and they have the same claim to the city” as others
Why BJP govts obsess over public namaz

If it walks and talks like a foreign policy failure, let's call it a foreign policy failure.
A very harsh response from Rubio. Implicitly justifying the killing of Indian mariners.
The US is not upholding peace and security in the Strait. Iran may not be innocent but It is the US that is the cause of disturbing peace and security there by its initial attacks on Iran.
India has to tolerate the killing of its mariners because the US will not tolerate the violation of its unilateral blockade.
Not even a pro forma regret at the killing of civilian unarmed nationals of a friendly country.
Rubio has raised the ante. He has snubbed us.

Public outrage on the killing of three Indian sailors is real. Everyone knows some additional bad news are being suppressed. But the other story of a sailor perishing on board a ship is also being followed widely. This rage is rare.
