BBC shot a small documentary on Dalit cuisine with Shahu Patole who is the author of ‘Dalit Kitchens of Marathawada’. Important to watch to understand marginalised communities and their culture around food.

Very sad that it is 2024 and a missing census is not on the agenda. First govt to miss a census in 140 years must be a special achievement. Basic competence in governance is lacking but we have big slogans.

If you have to explain the younger ones why Jan 22nd is being awaited & being treated as a day of national importance or nation building… Anand Patwardhan’s ever relevant Ram Ke Naam is the best introduction to this propaganda & their blatant lies youtu.be/GMT18TMNQbY?si=dMOf…

Everyone speaking to Mr Vanga and smiling politely/staying expressionless when he tears into critics, calling a grown-up a girl, etc, if you did your job right, one day, never forget, you'll be that 'boy' in another of his interviews. One need not support everyone mindlessly but

The past few days have been overwhelming. I continue to support @ghaywan’s excellent work, now with Made in Heaven and earlier with Geeli Pucchi on Netflix. But this needs to be said.
