A must read post.
I’m adding this 🧵 to offer more context to my comparison. Thank you for the thoughtful critique.

Black female profs still aren’t plentiful in the academy & rarely are afforded the full protections they deserve & their white colleagues enjoy. This is esp. true when it comes to academic freedom… /1
The Indian govt declared an emergency & withheld internet in the region for over a year.

Under Modi, India is an electoral autocracy accdg to V-Dem, 2019 to now: India shutdown Internet ~100+ times/year, 80+ more than any nation, press freedom has plummeted, caste/religion-based violence risen…/5

Went to vote alone after this big fight in the house because my dad was angry that I'm exercising my right to vote without discussing with him. Like what lmaooo fuck off man. Can't even vote without involving you

I write in The Telegraph: Putin got the global images he craved of a leader not wholly shunned. Yet, by harder metrics that should concern India, It underlined a deeper failure. It showed that despite the setbacks of 2025, Modi’s foreign policy is still organised around optics rather than outcomes.

A "milestone" for Modi.
"Nehru, Nehru, Nehru"
He holds the "world record" of invoking another person' persona & name greatest number of times. No other leader ever comes close.

Its all Nehru's fault.
सर्वं नेहरू दोषः
सब नेहरू की गलती है।
எல்லாம் நேருவின் தவறு.
सर्व चूक नेहरूची आहे.
সব নেহরুর দোষ।
ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನೆಹರು ಅವರ ತಪ್ಪು.
সকলো নেহৰুৰ দোষ.
ସବୁ ନେହେରୁଙ୍କ ଦୋଷ।
બધો દોષ નેહરુનો છે.
అంతా నెహ్రూ తప్పే.
എല്ലാം നെഹ്‌റുവിന്റെ തെറ്റാണ്.
سب کچھ نہرو کا قصور ہے۔

Indian speculative fiction evolved through Bengali "kalpavigyan" and post-Independence "scientifiction." Today, as this piece shows, Indian SF is finding its voice anew—bridging caste, gender, and global imagination with universal storytelling.

Earlier this month Kerala declared that it had eliminated extreme poverty, becoming the only state in India to manage the feat. How did it do it? One answer lies in its unique politics
Kerala can teach India a thing or two about social welfare
But it also has plenty to learn about economic dynamism

First it was gushing over Modi.
Now he is celebrating a man who sowed the seeds of discord, hatred, intolerance & communal divide for which the country is still suffering 37 years down the line.
Next perhaps it will be Savarkar.

What a waste of education & career.
