What’s an article/ piece of writing that’s stayed with you ever since you read it? I have multiple, but here’s one I keep coming back to:

Seventy-five Years After Indian Partition, Who Owns the Narrative?

Literature once filled in archival gaps by saying the unsayable. Now a younger generation is devising new modes of telling the story and finding new stories to tell.

Hearing Noam Chomsky's health has deteriorated to the point it now prevents him from writing, commenting or participating in the public domain. As an educator he has been without equal. An intellectual giant in an age of confusion, misinformation & soundbites. Thank you, Noam. ❤️
