Human remains of Naga ancestors sat at the @Pitt_Rivers, 5000 miles away from their homeland, entertaining visitors. They could finally be making their way home to be laid to rest. But the process has been anything but simple. https://t.co/CntmggxIFd

“Whoever has been close to me, God has taken them away,” Mr. Patel said one day, in tears. “Uma was close to me. God snatched her away. Radhi was close. She married & left. Harshit & Pooja were close. Now they are also gone.” Led by @CopiousNotes27. Crushing photos: Atul Loke

Why do we need feminists? To speak of a nation not as a cultural, symbolic thing, not in terms of masculinist culture, but as a community of democracy, a republic. There are different ways of being a nation together, there are other cultures of being together.

No word yet of Trump tariffs' impact on "the United States of Kailasa." But here's something very real the emissaries of "His Divine Holiness, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism" were trying to pull off in Bolivia. They were deported...and not to Kailasa. https://t.co/tmeoOP9JUG

Emissaries of the “United States of Kailasa,” led by a fugitive holy man, were deported after negotiating 1,000-year deals with Indigenous groups.

A hard-line Hindu group’s call for the removal of the tomb of a 17th-century Mughal ruler has ignited tensions with Muslims in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, leading to communal violence and the imposition of a curfew. https://t.co/WRvorULyPv

The tensions showed how right-wing Hindu leaders and organizations in India use historical grievances to fuel contemporary tensions.
