Professional update After nearly eight years, I have finally signed off from ThePrint @ThePrintIndia I owe a huge debt of gratitude to @ShekharGupta for being a mentor, guiding me, challenging me and helping me evolve as a journalist. He will always remain a reporter’s editor, someone who understands the craft, pushes you to do better and never lets you settle. It is like a new day everyday. I also want to thank my beloved critics and supporters alike. You both have helped me question, sharpen and improve my work every single day. Journalism is a constant learning process and I have been fortunate to have you to keep me on my toes. I joined ThePrint on 26 December, 2018 and the last eight years have been nothing short of fantastic. I have had the privilege of working with some wonderful colleagues, many of whom have been an integral part of this journey. A special thank you to @BhardwajAnanya , @BhadraSinha, @dgupta_moushumi, @Janki_H_Dave and @NPDay, who continue to be part of ThePrint, and to @RuhiTewari and @YPRajesh among several others, who have since moved on. As I turn the page, I do so with immense gratitude for the journey and everyone who made it special. Thank you for reading this and for being a part of my journey. God bless

I think it would be more relevant to analyse his arguments (a tad convoluted but hey! He is a sociologist!) than to trace his ideological evolution. There is an ideological hostility or scepticism wrt Hinduism which is absent wrt to other faiths in Western academia.
I dont know how far he will get with these speculations, but it is fascinating to see his gradual (but accelerating) evolution from standard sociologist who broke ranks to sympathize with Hindu nationalists (w usual accusations of being a lobbyist) to something closer to a convert (I assume leli first responders will label it mercenary, but why not real?) :)

Mehdi, the guy next to you went on this long racist rant saying that Vivek's whole goal in life is just to fuck white women. You just sat there laughing the whole time. Do you think people can't watch a video? What's wrong with you??

The entire population turned out to give a heroic farewell to their three sons, who were killed by the security forces while demanding basic rights, greater democratic space, and accountability. Their funerals became a powerful expression of collective grief, anger, and solidarity. Today, all of #AzadKashmir is mourning. An operation against the sit-in and protesters is underway amid a blanket communications blackout. The use of military force against our own people has repeatedly backfired, and this time #Rawalakot has proved to be a hard nut to crack. May God protect my brothers and sisters. #RightsMovementAJK @JKJAAC_official @JKJAAC_

There was no Sikh Genocide. There was a pogrom which will forever be a blot on Indian history even though India has acknowledged this tragedy but this was no genocide.
🚨 Journalist Rupa Subramanya sparks controversy by questioning the 1984 Sikh Genocide as Brampton 🇨🇦 honours victims and survivors by lowering flags at City Hall to half-mast for Sikh Genocide Awareness Week (Nov 1–7). @rupasubramanya

Notwithstanding my unwavering loyalty to Punjab, I cannot deny that Himachal Pradesh has a right to electricity from this project. The Gobind Sagar and the Bhakra Dam lie within its territorial jurisdiction, and it is riparian to both the Satluj and the Beas. Electricity generation, unlike irrigation water, is also a function of topography. The Supreme Court rested Himachal's 7.19% on its population share as a successor State, but the outcome is just and equitable. Today's cashless settlement of 11,973 million units over 20 years closes a 60-year-old account without a rupee changing hands between the States.
#BREAKING on Bar & Bench Supreme Court brings a decades-old inter-State electricity dispute to a close, settling the mechanism for implementing Himachal Pradesh's entitlement to 7.19% power from the Bhakra-Nangal and Beas projects. A bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana accepts a cashless settlement framework evolved through consultations led by Attorney General R Venkataramani involving Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. Under the arrangement, Himachal Pradesh will receive 11,973 million units of electricity over the next 20 years from Punjab and Haryana. The original entitlement was calculated at 13,066 million units by the Central Electricity Authority. An adjustment of ₹420 crore towards historical capital costs incurred in constructing the dams has been factored into the settlement. While Himachal Pradesh sought implementation over 10 years, Punjab pressed for 30 years and the Attorney General proposed 15 years, the Supreme Court settles on a 20-year period. The ruling resolves the longstanding question of implementing the Supreme Court's 2011 decree without requiring monetary payments between the States.

Yes, I am proud to be Panje Mangesh Rao’s great-grandson. Kannada is a global language & Kannadigas are a proud, talented people. They don’t need “activists”. Your parochial duplicity will be called out.
And @ShivAroor you are grandson of a Kannada literary figure. Great to see you speaking against Kannada, Kannadiga and Karnataka without evidence.

Yes I know and you are no different. Same hate because of same reason.
For most Hindus in the US, it’s either mocked by these guys or being mocked by Groypers.

If this is the approach and this lot wins the day where the Democratic Party is concerned, then there is a future for the US.
1/5 Estas declaraciones de Gina Hinojosa tras ganar Texas dejan una lección para la izquierda mundial: la victoria no fue por moderación ideológica, sino por cambio radical en la arquitectura del clivaje. "Vencimos porque la izquierda woke ha muerto". 🧵
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Gina Hinojosa no dijo "Vencimos porque la izquierda woke ha muerto" en el vídeo adjunto (entrevista preelectoral de Politico) ni tras su victoria. Explicó que evitó el bait de las guerras culturales para centrarse en temas económicos de las familias trabajadoras. politico.com/news/2026/09/2… youtube.com/watch?v=t4nFQ5… ginafortexas.com/2026/11/remark…

From Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of Bharat, the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial — a sacred landmark where Swami Vivekananda envisioned the awakening of a resurgent India. Standing at this historic confluence of oceans and civilisations, one experiences the timeless spirit of Bharat — thousands of years of heritage, wisdom, spiritual strength and national consciousness. An inspirational gateway to the Idea of India. A timeless call to build a Viksit Bharat! #VivekanandaRockMemorial #Kanyakumari #SwamiVivekananda #IdeaOfIndia #CivilisationalBharat #ViksitBharat #IncredibleIndia

The creeping takeover by the Democratic Party by the woke. Just as the Republicans have been hijacked by Trump. The US is in serious trouble as it will yoyo from one extreme lunacy to another.
The equation for what it means to be a South Asian Democrat in 2026 has shifted wildly this year, and more or less cemented since the midterms.
