My daughter wants to be an ecologist or climate scientist. Now I have to tell her it’s too dangerous as a profession and to go into corporate banking or some other job where crime is encouraged but met with impunity.

Here’s how my endorsement begins…
"A towering iconoclast of our own day writes with insight and passion about one of the greatest iconoclasts that India has ever known…”

The danger of working on
#caste
without the sobering lived experience is on full display here — w/ caste, class, gender, community privilege parading like a peacock. Blindly.
On the positive side, I guess it’s implicit evidence of the need for caste-discrimination laws in the US.

Good looks, massive intellect, great character and focus, huge ambition — you belong at the top of the list! I’m proud of you.
Honored to be featured in

With a country this large and diverse being the only scholar in the list is meaningful.
Thank you all.

I always approach with trepidation. Once you get into them they have this dangerous seductive power. Like I start growing cruel and the moustache gets out of control.

I’ve mentioned on several occasions the problem with the many new
#books
on
#Ambedkar
— all written by non-Dalits. Now
@KyaHarish
takes the problem to a new level in a brilliant new review of all the recent publications. This is a must read critique:

The amount of misinformation circulating about
#babasahebambedkar
is astounding, & not only among rightwing &
#casteist
circles. As I factcheck every
#book
on
#Ambedkar
crosschecking each claim year by year from 1891-1956 the errors number in the hundreds. I hope to correct them!

I wish more ppl new about his final
#book
, “Being Adivasi”. As he passed away while finishing it, Abhay was unable ever to speak on it. But like everything he did, it’s very powerful.
