Every time I see Roy, I am reminded of 'Hatred in the Belly: Politics behind the Appropriation of Dr. Ambedkar's Writing' by Round Table India. It changed the way I think about Roy and the "radicals" of the Indian left. The book is so poignant and well-written.

Stop pathologizing Hamas, please. Yes, most of the people in the armed resistance are orphans, and the reality they grew up in was a violent reality of occupation and settler-colonialism. But the pursuit of justice and liberation from an occupier is a very noble struggle.

If a white woman wrote the things Fatima Mernissi has written about Islam and the veil, we'd be in an uproar. Yet, she continues to be read and recommended, when we have a better female scholarship.

Brilliant, as always, from @AsadRahim "All said, elections must be held, and within 90 days. In his verdict, Justice Jawad quoted Warren Burger, that “…delay will drain even a just judgement of its value”. We yet hope."

The retellings mired in anticipation and yearning to return to the 'traditional' Kashmiri attire not only establish and reinforce the myth of Kashmiriyat—seeking to blur the lines between Hindus and Muslims—but also serve as disciplinary modes of governance and control by

The divinity of neoliberalism seeks to forge the state, public life, and human subjectivity into the image of the market. Ali S. Harfouch on how the divine power of neoliberalism seeks to reconstitute Islam:

Fasting, much like obligatory prayers, is a commandment from God that has to be fulfilled. Stripping an obligation of its religious component and limiting it to the purported physical advantages or disadvantages changes the orientation from ākhirah to dunyā.

Fasting doesn't make any sense. In the worst-case scenario, it can result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies, muscle breakdown, and diarrhea. Sensible people should refrain from it and consume healthy food.

I love this zenān-mardāñ separation that is still a norm in our weddings. The outside space for men, the indoor 'deras' for women.

With all that has happened since the last year - the robbery of the public mandate, removal of subsidies, installation of a puppet government, and the ongoing statist violence - the project of Pakistan is being undone in Kashmir, hour by hour, day by day.

The promise of secularism of making religious differences inconsequential and unrelated to politics and the matters of governance is built on a contradiction: the religious subjectivities of the minority are monitored, regulated, and privatized, but the majority's religious

The hallowed altar of Indian statehood has rendered the lives of the Kashmiri leadership so expendable that they do not punctuate the discourse on fascism even momentarily.

There is a food tradition in Azad Kashmir around beef and Eid al-Adha. There's pakeyra (minced beef roasted on the walls of mud stove with mint, salt, and pepper). There's beef qeema pulao. There's namkeen gosht. Beef is the superior, widely-eaten meat.

On the subject of cow slaughter, I find it interesting that people in Pakistan (at least around me) don’t really eat beef very often, or at all. In my house the only time we had beef was as qeema matar/aloo/shimla mirch and that would be like maybe once every two months.
