After several months Jawahar Book Centre near JNU Central Library is open. It was a leading publisher of civil services materials during the 1990s- until recently. It's sad to see the owner not keeping well lately.

Today's class was on "Surveying, Mapping, and Village Statistics" which the idea of visibility was important within the new regime of records & surveys, with a brief introduction on #Zomia. Next class will be on James C. Scott's "Non-State Spaces".

I was wondering why non-existent papers which were supposed to be written by me were cited in so-called (research) papers; and it is now clear that the papers were AI generated. Good work @RetractionWatch.

Springer Nature has officially retracted a book on machine learning following coverage by Retraction Watch. A reader sent us a tip about this book; we’d love your help identifying more. As we repor…

There is a substantial increase in the number of (new) journals every year, an increase in the submission of research papers, but no corresponding increase in the number of scholars willing to do the (unthankful) reviews. Now you need to prove to a computer that you are human.

So, you are trying to own/win the narrative by "telling lies" as Lin Luwang lectured about recent advances in the art of telling lies a year ago? Unfortunately, in time the truth comes out. #TruthTriumphs
Without these cards, any “victory” will be temporary. The side that owns the narrative, the capital and the border wins the long game. Time for Meiteis to pivot from outrage to architecture. Build leverage first, negotiate later. #ManipurFuture.

This morning my father took a video of our jackfruit. In a village fruits aren't sold between villagers. Anyone who wants just need to ask the owner. Though fruits in private compounds are not commons, they can be consumed by all. There is no problem of "tragedy of the commons".

Good to see @epw_in assigning DOI to published articles. My suggestions:.1) Assign DOI uniformly to all articles (perhaps those published since the 2010s) including book reviews as done in other journals. 2) Index in WoS (@Clarivate) too and get impact factor for the journal.

Why wonder Rajdeep, we also had apartheid regime in Manipur under N. Biren Singh.
Get Real India: shocker from Pune. A Kargil war veteran branded a Rohingya, his family harassed and intimidated. Pune police needs to ACT @PunePolice4U.

This 7-year-old boy, his mother and aunt, who were burnt alive by #Meirapaibis, still need justice; David Thiek, Havildar Limkholal Mate, Donngaihching Hangzo, and tens of others need justice. Is this going to be a case of #SelectiveJustice NIA? @NIA_India
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Thanglienlal Hmar alias Boya from Cachar, Assam, in connection with the horrific killings of six Meitei individuals—including a child—in Manipur's Jiribam district last year. Hmar is accused of playing a crucial logistical

The "persecution of thoughts" which is brought about by imposing new strictures, Leo Strauss argues, it can be handled by using a "technique of writing" where "crucial things" are conveyed implicitly in between the lines. #Strauss #Persecution

As one of the most effective regional organisations I was wondering why #ASEAN didn't mediate in this century-old border dispute between two of its members - Thailand & Cambodia. Hopefully the unconditional ceasefire agreement works & people return home.

Following days of deadly border clashes the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to a ceasefire.

Hello very abusive & frustrated Mr. Singh! Tribals deserve affirmative action due to the historical, social, economic and educational disadvantages they suffered. But you guys enjoy double quota (SC & OBC) yet fighting with tribals to demand ST reservation. Kya hai yeh? 😩

Societies in the sense of tribes, nations, political states and speech communities may perish, but much of the information that they have accumulated as a world of ideas out-lives them and is handed on to successors in a larger society. - V Gordon Childe, "Society and Knowledge".

Please do not kindly use the word "annihilate" and equate yourself with Meitei Leepun and other so called Meitei Civil Society Organisations in Imphal valley.
Meitei militant(UNLF) leader - India will not last 100 years. Host laughed and said - Do you look forward for the day when india will be disintegrated… and he keeps laughing. This is why we should not take surrenders just annihilate them then and there. This podcast is.
