I bring a "haan, toh kya?" vibe to every national development and achievement which the Bharatiya middle-class petty bourgeoisie, who are ignorant of class- and caste-based labour, doesn't really like.

प्यार एक पूँजीवादी विचार है। हमारी कहानियों में राजकुमारी को राजकुमार मिलता है, मज़दूर नहीं।

I was cleaning my bookshelf and saw what started the first step of my radicalisation years ago.

since we are talking religious dress codes, as a Hindu who does not have this in my culture, tell me why Hindu married women are still veiling themselves in 2026.
I am all for #KarwaChauth debate as long as we are also debating religious dress codes and why most Muslim women and girls in India are still practicing hijab burqa? I will not debate the former while tiptoeing around the latter.

A limited list of atrocities committed against Northeast civilians by the Indian state. You can't claim the people without acknowledging their grievances, when you keep neglecting the role of AFSPA and ignoring the loss of civilian lives in the Northeast.

A well-drafted article by Angshuman Choudhury. People whimpering about "a brawl between two ethnic groups" should read this.
The 'conflict' in Manipur is nothing but Hindu Meiteis committing genocide against Kuki tribal Christians and demonising them by labelling them encroachers and invaders, terminology similar to that used by mainland Hindu fascists. It started because of their insecurity.

You can't love literature and still endorse fascism.

I'm tired of people calling me Abdul. It's grammatically incomplete in Arabic. It means 'servant of' (Abd al-) and doesn't make sense on its own. You can call me Asad (after Asadullah Khan Ghalib) or Kabir (I like the stretched 'ee' sound). Even Zafar would work. Mir as well.

If she actually really cared about his opinions, she would know that he always talked about unity among the marginalised. You see-liberal feminists like Ruchika would always want to capture discourse. You would never see her amplifying Dalit and Muslim women voices but cry-
Ironically for all the support that Sharjeel has for his brand of religious supremacism, it is because of religious supremacism that he's unjustly incarcerated, albeit a different brand. Just goes on to show how dangerous religious supremacism is, it has no place for minorities, women and the caste marginalised. All brands of religious supremacism must be condemned unequivocally!

I'm not a big fan of reading Substack articles, but @revgirlisha has written an eloquent critique of the Indian Constitution. Do read.

I find the argument in support of Sharjeel, that even if he's wrong, he deserves a fair trial, very obnoxious. He is correct in his critique of the Constitution, which enables Hindutva terrorism. Quoting Quranic verses doesn't make him a religious supremacist.

You want me to say 'I love you', like the Americans?
