So many opinions on what conditions will irreparably damage one’s life at [arbitrary age], when, if you are kind and curious about the world, and you keep trying, you’re really doing just fine

Im obsessed with this video. Opening with a sexy lady thinking ok what’s so groundbreaking about a sexy lady dancing in a restaurant. Then Doraemon comes and it’s like oh that’s odd. Then it pans to the twink and I’m gagging. The hunk is the cherry on top

Gujarat cops (accompanied by Delhi police) came to journalist Ravi Nair’s home over a story he did with The Washington Post on Adani. An FIR has been lodged against Ravi, but not The Washington Post, based on a complaint by an Adani Group staffer. The police took away two of Ravi’s phones, his son’s laptop, and the laptop and iPad of a colleague who happened to be at home and is not an accused in the case. The cops had a judicial magistrate’s order. Refused to give hash value of the devices

Naxal is slowly becoming like paneer in our lingo. You can add any prefix to it and come up with a few dish. Urban Naxal, Dimaghi Naxal, Mughlai Naxal, Kadhai Naxal.

मुझे प्रो सरकार की क्लास में होने का मौका मिला था। पूरी क्लास भरी होती थी। कभी प्रोफेसर की तरह नहीं आए। हमेशा संकोची और सवालों से घिरे छात्र की तरह क्लास में आया करते थे। अपनी क्लास के आगे विनम्रता से खड़े हो जाते। इतिहास का कैनवस गहरा होता जाता था, विद्वता के प्रवाह के बीच व्यंग्य के छोटे-मोटे पड़ाव से अचानक पता कर लेते थे कि क्लास का ध्यान है या नहीं। ध्यान हटा तो व्यंग्य भी मिस किया और लेक्चर भी। सुमित धीरे बोलते थे। जानकारी का रेंज हिमालय की तरह फैला हुआ था तब भी ख़ुद को कभी थोपा नहीं। हाव-भाव से पता नहीं लगने दिया कि हम एक महान इतिहासकार की कक्षा में बैठे हैं। जिनकी कक्षा से निकल कर पहले ही कई छात्र बड़े इतिहासकार बन चुके थे और हमारी कक्षा के बाद के कई छात्र बड़े इतिहासकार बने। सुमित पढ़ाने के तरीके में गांधीवादी थे। लोकतांत्रिक। सुमित का छात्र होना ही मेडल के जैसा था। डीयू में सुमित, सुनील, ज्ञान और शाहिद की क्लास का छात्र होना छात्र जीवन की यादों को सुखद बनाता था। देश ने एक शानदार इतिहासकार के साथ साथ बेहतरीन टीचर खोया है। ज्ञान के असीम भंडार के साथ धीरे-धीरे चलता हुआ, रोज़ पढ़ाने वाला प्यारा सा टीचर खोया है। छात्र जीवन में ऐसा शिक्षक हर किसी को मिले। उनकी समृद्ध अकादमिक जीवन यात्रा को सलाम।
Prof Sumit Sarkar never taught me. He had left DU much before my time. I got opportunities to interact with him during my PhD in Gottingen. He always welcomed new ideas. His writings, particularly The Decline of Subaltern Studies, has been crucial for my own work.
