My grandfather passed away last year, leaving behind more than twenty volumes of journals, written half in Urdu and half in English, in which he recorded the entirety of his adult life: his years at AMU, his love for reading, his faith, his children, and the inevitability (1/12)

I officially know I’m old because watching any children’s media makes me cry almost immediately because I so deeply miss the naïveté and freedom of being a child like wow i’m so obviously unc now.

Sharjeel Imam’s argument is basically this: Indian Muslims don’t necessarily need a separate country, but they need a constitutional system that actually guarantees them political power, representation and equality. He revisits Jinnah, but revisiting Jinnah doesn’t automatically mean demanding Pakistan. There’s a difference between asking for a separate country and asking for constitutional reforms within the country you already live in. The real question he raises is: Does India’s current constitutional framework give Muslims genuine political representation and a fair share in power, or is secularism just a promise on paper? You can disagree with his argument. But first, understand what he’s actually proposing instead of blindly equating every criticism of the Constitution with separatism.

Do read this achingly beautiful essay, a memoir of coming of age as a Muslim in a country that lost its way I teared up often while reading of the daily humiliations that are now so routine I hope one day we are able to rebuild an India that Asad deserves thequint.com/news/politics/j…

Aristotle says that arguing with random people is a waste of time because the average person doesn't know how to argue and therefore will not help you become better at it (let alone help you clarify a point). A nice thought to post on the "argue with random people" app.

He was in Denmark, and his time at IIT Bombay might have been for an internship or a student exchange. Had he continued on that path, by now he could easily have been a millionaire, living in a multimillion-dollar home somewhere in San Francisco, enjoying the life that so many of us dream of. But you know what made him leave all of that behind and choose a Master's at JNU? His love for the people. His people. The people of India. His countrymen. He radicalised himself from a point where no one from the comfort would look back once, not even me!
still stuck in Denmark

The process of crafting is not fun at all. Hobbying is, in fact, never fun. It’s annoying and it goes wrong all the time and it makes you want to pull out your hair but it distracts you from The Big Sad™ for two hours per day and that’s kind of lovely.
