This is a good time to share that I edited essays for a special issue of Asian Affairs that was published as an edited book by #Routledgehistory this year. Includes essays on #Partition and the war of 1971 to better understand debates on belonging and citizenship in #SouthAsia today.

Dawn in Damascus
In the end, Bashar al-Assad had nothing to say to the country he bludgeoned and bled, but what matters now is that his ‘forever’ rule is over

Cold War interventions in India by both the British and US agencies proved “largely self-defeating” and actually undermined Western influence, slowed down democracy, & amplified a “national culture of conspiracism and paranoia” in India that still remains.

This era is strange because it is both socially/culturally regressive, yet technologically accelerationist.
Backward + forward at the same time. With human erasure being the goal.
I think those interested in cultural preservation, archival work— resisting erasure will be *especially* important.
