One of the many wonderful things about the @csastanford conference on "Outsourcing Democracy" was a chance to see the fantastic work of younger, next-gen scholars. Incredible how much one can learn in one day of a conference. Same w/ an Emory conf last year on religion in S. Asia

I am loving @USAmbIndia's chronicles in Bombay. Kyani is great. But did he go to Bademiyah? Did he find good dhansak? Would he like a tour guide next time?
Stopped by the legendary Kyani & Co. to try their delicious bun maska and chai, a specialty of Mumbai’s Irani cafes. I have to say, I’m a fan! #Mumbaikars – what else should I try on my next visit?
What a night Wednesday was! The queen, OG Aunty, @LawhoreVagistan with notes from scholar @kareempuff made us laugh, think, dance and cry in joy at @csastanford , thanks to @ushai2020 ! An experience to behold! This is an appreciation thread from a fan! #auntylookedamazing
Thank you to @aishabbwahab for this heroic effort to ban caste discrimination in California. We are proud stand with @akscsfba @ambedkar_center and all of our friends in the America Against Caste Discrimination (AACD) coalition, whose advocacy was key for this win. Onward! #SB403
💥🚨🚨BIG NEWS!! 🚨🚨💥💥 SB403 Designating caste as a protected category passed by California Senate! Thank you @ambedkar_center @aanausa @EqualityLabs and many other partners of the anti-caste coalitions and @aishabbwahab for the hard work and fight to make this a reality!
“On behalf of all Dalit Californians and caste-oppressed people around the world, we are ecstatic that the California Senate has passed SB403 off the Senate floor. This is a win rooted in years of Dalit feminist organizing, and we are just getting started in making the state safe…
