YouTube video by Ishkah Arundhati Roy's Come September Speech & Discussion Afterwards with Howard Zinn (2002)

Arundhati Roy - from her 'Come September' speech in 2002:
"So standing here today, it's hard for me to say this, but the American way of life is simply not sustainable because it doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America...."

Full speech: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPKt...

Another proud Muslim legacy dumped - exactly the kind of erasure the BJP loves. And Tendulkar just accepted it without a word?! Graceless. Shameless.

Tale of two speakers.

Imagine Dutton’s implausible cuts to migration were actually possible. Now see the dire economic consequences Net migration of international students and skilled workers would have to fall by almost 90% to achieve the Coalition’s promised figures

Supreme Court upholds Urdu signage in Maharashtra, calls it ‘finest specimen of Hindustani culture’ A former councillor had filed a petition challenging the use of Urdu on the signboard of the Patur Municipal Council building in Akola district of Maharashtra

Urdu was born in India. That this even needed a Supreme Court verdict shows how far bigotry has clouded common sense.

New Pew data shows Americans, especially young Dems, are turning against Israel — 71% now hold unfavourable views.

No wonder the US is cracking down on free speech. Australia’s doing the same.

Six Women Were Elected. So Why Were Their Husbands Sworn In? In rural India, guarantees of equal representation on village councils are easily thwarted. But some women are pushing back against “boss husbands.”

Indians who bring their caste prejudice to America are too dumb to realise they are giving racists exactly what they need to attack all immigrants.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How should we interpret the optics when a head of government, accompanied by the highest government representatives, notebooks in hand, meets a tech billionaire who brings his girlfriend, children, and nanny to official talks? #modi #musk

My fellow immigrants: let's stay mindful that our increasing visibility and cultural expression might trigger discomfort among some colleagues and friends, even if unspoken. Building mutual understanding takes time and sensitivity from all sides.

Musk's casual dismissal of Trudeau should concern us all. On a finite, shared planet, power and wealth must not overshadow the need for cooperation. Recent events have amply demonstrated that unchecked power leads to catastrophic outcomes for humanity and the planet.

Diverse voices across faiths & communities must be heard on global justice issues. No single group speaks for all. Human rights & dignity are universal, not zero-sum.

Appreciate the sensible statement @HumanismProject @Hindus4HumanRightsANZ.

Jonathan Glazer didn’t even say the words “Palestine”, “genocide” or “ceasefire” in his Oscar speech and look at the vitriol being thrown at him. The most anyone else did for the cause was wear a “ceasefire” pin most people wouldn’t even recognize. Hollywood sucks.

‘We stand here as Jewish men who refute the Holocaust being hijacked’: Jonathan Glazer calls for end to Gaza attacks at Oscars Accepting the award for best international film for The Zone of Interest, Glazer took to the stage to make an impassioned call for his Auschwitz drama to make people reassess the contemporary conflict...

“Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza.”
