🧵Of Britain’s former colonies, what’s unique about India is the indigenization of Christmas. It can be seen in the regional dishes for feasts, variations on the holiday cake and carols sung in Indian languages, writes @bysurbhigupta in @newlinesmag.

Festive season on the subcontinent is as richly diverse as the place and its peoples themselves

One of my favorable testimonies about @newlinesmag is this one from New York Times columnist David Brooks. In 2023, he featured the magazine in his annual awards for long-form essays, dedicated to small magazines that can “alter history in a way big media outlets just can’t.”

Happy to see the big NYT piece about South Asian voters for Zohran. Hopefully this will make other editors out there more receptive of the same reporting I’ve been doing for months. Shoutout to @DannyPostel @surbhigu @newlinesmag for recognizing this story before ANY OTHER pub.

“International media initially reported the protest as typical Gen Z anger over Oli’s social media crackdown, only to quickly realize the dissent went much deeper," @vandana_menon writes for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/iwoAhYajGb

For @newlinesmag, @vandana_menon writes about the recent #Nepal uprising, which followed Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and how young people in these countries do not carry the burden of history. What they see is the present, which includes broken promises.

In April,a 20-yr-old told me he wanted Nepal to be the next Sri Lanka or Bangladesh. As the dust settled in Kathmandu, he texted me: “It’s done.” For @newlinesmag, I wrote about how young South Asians saw their struggles as part of a shared regional story. https://t.co/VS14h61yel

Some people are asking when India’s mass protest moment will come — but we already had it in 2011. The anti-corruption uprising birthed the AAP and paved the way for the BJP’s rise.
