    Our author Prabir Purkayastha of @newsclickin arrested under draconian UAPA. He spent #Emergency in jail too. His crime? Amplifying voices of the poor, defending India’s sovereignty, and promoting a scientific temper. Stand with him and colleague Amit Chakraborty. #pressfreedom

    Indian women carrying a British man during the British colonial rule. The brutality of colonialism was never prosecuted. All the colonial powers which actively made dehumanisation as their active project, enslaved the people & looted their resources in the most brutish way.

    Aijaz Ahmad (1941-2022) shaped all we did at LeftWord — he was our first author; on our first editorial board; our friend, guide, critic; our theoretical rudder. Laal salaam, comrade teacher.

    The richest continent in the world is where the poorest people in the world live their miseries. Those who finds it difficult to see this irony are already serving the colonial project. Comment or retweet with the title of a book which talks on the colonial regime in Africa.

    Have you missed to listen to this? See @vijayprashad explains how colonialism is a permanent mentality for those who still engaged in a vicious project to loot the resources in the world. India will celebrate it's #IndependenceDay in a week. A must watch.!! Courtesy @NoColdWar
