Happy Amedkar Jayanti to all!

I tried my hands with Cyanotype artwork yesterday for the first time! I think it came out well (if you can excuse my bad drawing).

The quote is from Annihilation of Caste by Dr. Ambedkar, whose 134th Anniversary is being celebrated today in India and beyond.
A cyanotype artwork (also known as 'blueprint') depicting the Dhammachakra wheel, aka Ashoka Chakra at the bottom, with the imprints of small flowers on its either sides. The top part has a quotation which reads - "Every act of independent thinking puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril."

Fandry (2013) and Sthal (2025) are the real faces of 'progressive' Maharashtra. Everything else is daydreaming.

I dream of the day this map fundamentally changes (knowing deep within that it won't)

To those with grants and projects and things going on for them academically/professionally but still calling yourself ‘early career’, I hope your projects suffer and fall apart and never come to fruition because the real early career scholars precariously employed by you are struggling to make ends meet and live under immense pressure but can’t say/do anything because they can’t afford to speak up and know that there is nothing out there that will offer them any better opportunities and support system either. I hope this trap that has been set up for the vast majority of scholars from marginalized backgrounds eats up your professional dreams and careers. Yours truly,
