On Friday, Professor @manojkjhadu, in his speech in Parliament, recommended my book, Allahu Akbar, as a must-read for all. I am delighted and honoured by this mention by such a respectable and conscientious parliamentarian on the floor of the House. Thank you, sir! 🙏

योगी जी की माया अपरम्पार!

UP police gave "guard of honour" to Taliban.



The Taliban minister held a press conference in India even as India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is yet to hold his first presser despite being in power for over 11 years.

When Indian women journalists were barred from the Taliban press conference, the men should’ve walked out. Standing by and still reporting ? That’s complicity, not journalism. That is also normalising misogyny. This one’s on us.


If I may add: the mindset of this bunch is pretty much aligned with the Taliban. Same kind of regressive social views; same kind of oppressive politics.

If you were to objectively name India's top 10 foreign policy journalists, 8 of them would be women. Keeping them out of a presser means keeping out the best we have. And for other journos to meekly accept the Taliban's dictum is a comment on why Indian journalism is where it is.

How dare our government allow Taliban foreign minister Amir Muttaqi to exclude women journalists & hold a ‘male-only’ news conference on Indian soil with full protocol? How dare @DrSJAishankar agree to this? & why did our emasculated spineless male journos remain in room?


Biryani drama dekh lu kya, @tomtomatoe?


जो आप की योग्यता न समझ पाए उसके साथ काम न करो—यह बात तो सुना है। लेकिन अगर हर तरफ ऐसे ही लोग हो, फिर क्या किया जाए?

The attack on CJI BR Gavai has a clear caste angle. It’s troubling that some otherwise anti-RSS/BJP voices deny it. If someone critiques Brahminism/Brahminical patriarchy, don’t reply with “Not all Brahmins.” Stop getting butthurt and do something to fight Hindutva fascism!


Comrades, since #RSS100YearsExposed is trending here, I'm re-sharing my conversation with Dr. Shamsul Islam that was aired on October on the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS. Please watch it if you missed it earlier. #sanghshatabdi youtube.com/watch?v=tJyBew…

Comrades, @analoguefutures was on my @SherEPunjab600 show recently to talk about India's film 'censor board' wreaking havoc on the industry, and most importantly, creativity and artistic expression. Please catch our conversation here: youtube.com/watch?v=eZNXlx… #India #Bollywood

I make travel plans, but they don't work. I make more plans, but they don't work either. Sad.

सिर्फ़ दलित होने के चलते रोहित वेमुला के साथ अत्याचार हुए और उनकी हत्या कर दी गयी। साल बीत रहे हैं लेकिन वे आज भी प्रतिरोध का प्रतीक हैं और उनकी साहसी माँ उम्मीद का। अंत तक संघर्ष करने के लिए रोहित मेरा हीरो है, मेरा एक भाई जिसके साथ ग़लत हुआ।

Once likened to be India’s ‘Columbia Journalism School’, Delhi School of Journalism is now mired in controversy and ideological bias. @dharspeaks unpacks the repression within. 🔒 Read newslaundry.com/2025/05/03/rep…

Nearly all countries actually. This sort of question/commentary is designed to stop you from using your brains and the evidence of your eyes. In the India Subcontinent alone, they have coexisted with half a dozen faiths since the 7th century. Not sure why I'm bothering to respond

Name a single country where Muslims coexist peacefully with other faiths? 🙄
