There’s such warmth (literal and figurative) in this photo—a gesture of endearment. I love how it captures a side of political leaders we seldom see: vulnerability, affection, and a loving relationship. Not the macho political figures the internet is so often replete with.

Hello! I released my first ever video essay today, part of a new series on the channel, titled 'The Basic Anatomy Of'.
This first one, is about gangster films. Co-written with the amazing @MadameSengupta!

Hi folks! The paperback edition of my book on Indian Parallel Cinema dropped through the letterbox today… much cheaper than before… give it a go if you want to find out more about India’s innovative and radical film movement.
Publication alert!🥳
Happy to share that our new paper, 'Ageing with(out) kin: Migration, longing, and disenchantment in Punjab', is now published in the Journal of Aging Studies.
Many thanks to Daljit Singh for his research assistance, and @ThaparSLAS for supporting this work through a Seed Grant.

80% of my opportunities, including my last 2 full-time roles have come to me through LinkedIn and I REALLY wish others can leverage this platform just as well.
Registrations are ongoing for the next batch of my LinkedIn workshop on 19 July (Sunday)! :)
Ideal for those who are beginners or haven't been active on the platform.
Enrol for the workshop at rzp.io/rzp/kareKOQ

Salman Rushdie says AI has "zero" role in storytelling.
"It’s not useful to creative work because AI has no capacity for originality. What it can do is suck up enormous amounts of information and produce versions of that. But what it can’t do is something nobody’s done before. And that’s what art is, is to find things people haven’t done before. So, I mean I have less than zero interest in AI.”

Gender scholars working on India will rarely pay attention to these *urban* social practices because these would go against their picture of secluded sad Indian women, chained to their kitchens, crushed under the weight of patriarchy.

My review for #Cocktail2
Absolutely zero patience for a film that has zero interest in its own characters.

Imtiaz Ali’s latest—Main Vaapas Aaunga (MVA) is similarly set in 1947 and 2026. In that partition and in this one. Popular discourse about partition in 2026 only asks one question, and it is a rhetorical one—whose fault was it? The answers are ready.
The film rejects the lie that the suffering ended in 1947 or only with the people who experienced it. @atti_cus writes.

Respected @ConradSangma Sir, as a NEET aspirant, the travel expenses and a two-day stay in Shillong for my center are financially impossible for me to bear. Requesting your government's intervention and support for student accommodation and travel. Please help! @CMO_Meghalaya

And it's going to leave pretty soon, the shows are already cut down by almost 50% to accommodate another remake.
Please go watch it with your family and friends...don't let any negative review deter you..U will be disappointed in urself later if u do.
#MainVaapasAaunga
Many thoughts for #MainVaapasAaunga, I can't put them into words. It's the kind of film that stays with you....& changes you. It's not just a story of partition, it's a story of humanity, the plight of refugees &the world's lack of empathy. PLEASE watch before it leaves theaters.
