Donald's attempt to change the name of Hormuz to Trump Strait really feels like he's trying to overcompensate for something?

Can anyone recommend good accounts to follow on TikTok? Looking for content about politics, current affairs, etc., especially those with a focus on Africa and West Asia.

Do I know anybody on here who knows the history of Bombay neighbourhoods really well?

For all the talk of the tide of the international community turning towards supporting Palestine, today's statements of support for Trump's plan from global majority states show that although Israel may be a pariah, a free Palestine is still an inevitability that the intl community cannot tolerate.

Guest host Abdulla Moaswes, a Palestinian scholar and old buddy of mine, is joined by two scholars of Kashmir, Ather Zia and Hafsa Kanjwal to talk about Kashmir. It’s a long episode, but that’s because we wanted to make sure to present Kashmir’s history on its own terms, a Kashmir perspective that does not center Pakistan and certainly not India (or China).

This episode will be published in 3 parts on the various podcast feeds. The full version is only available on Patreon.

For much of the last 3 decades, Kashmir has been among the most militarised places on Earth, with its territory divided between the three nuclear-armed states of India, Pakistan, and China. Earlier this year, events in the region acted as a prelude to an armed confrontation between India and Pakistan, which the former used as an opportunity to more deeply entrench an emergent settler colonial form of rule in the territory. Many view the Kashmir question as simply a territorial dispute between these three states, but as this podcast series will demonstrate, the Kashmir question is one about colonial occupation and anticolonial resistance. In this podcast series, Hafsa, Ather and Abdulla first outline the origins of the Kashmir crisis, explaining how the region came to be partitioned as a result of British and Indian colonialism. They contextualise Kashmir’s colonisation within the project of Indian statebuilding, as well as the territory’s relevance to regional geopolitics. In part 2, they discuss Kashmiri resistance over the decades, including the events that led to and comprised the Kashmir Intifada that broke out in the late 1980s. The third and final episode consists of an assessment of Kashmir’s current status and the guests’ outlook for the future.

Ather Zia is an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Gender Studies program at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley as well as a poet, short fiction writer, and columnist.

Hafsa Kanjwal is an associate prof…

Israel is trying to hijack the Baloch struggle

A new Israeli-linked initiative exposes how liberation movements are being co-opted for colonial aims.

I share Toufic's story because it reveals so much about the oversized gatekeeping role that research funders in the global minority play in deciding who gets to do research on the rest of the world - a situation only becoming more dire as academic enquiry & freedom continues to come under attack.
