Happy to share a small piece on Many Enlightenments that Indian women invoked in their grammars of dissent, from their intellectual and philosophical lives and practices . Contesting the euro centric & male centric canon, that shaped a biased narrative

It is with great honour, joy, and gratitude that I have received an international human rights award for my research on the intellectual history of economic and social human rights.
My thanks to wonderful colleagues and for the excellent collaboration with Cambridge U.P.!
We’re delighted to award the 2025 James J. Busuttil Prize and Medal for Human Rights to Prof Christian O. Christiansen for his book 'In Defense of Economic & Social Human Rights' (CUP, 2025).
Congrats to @chrochr!
Reclaiming a subversive political genealogy: a reminder that resistance has its own genealogies, carried across generations and mediums.
Kamala would approve of the medium, rooted in the lived worlds from which the radical reimaginations emerged.

At @bhupro, Trailblazing Women of India — folk art works by first-gen artists from eastern UP & Bihar. Through traditional forms, they embody the selfhood taught by Besant, Kamaladevi, Ramabai, Mahadevi Verma, Dakshayani & Cornelia Sorabji. #FolkArt #WomenOfIndia

The college motto of @LSRDU “Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye" translates to "That is knowledge which liberates, has been a polite reminder, of standing tall fearlessly.
Can’t be prouder of the young, the fearless and brave ones, who didn’t bow to the dictats of the spineless. Brava!!!
From ideas to Art, #womenwhoshapedtheideaofIndia,
now reimagined through the lens of young artists from Purvanchal.
Celebrating erased herstories!!

How young voters see @INCIndia decision to support TVK?
Do they see it as betrayal or pragmatic politics?
