Reporting from Delhi. Invited to guest lecture at Jindal Uni. My first in-person talk in India.
It’s 25º outside - I should be rejoicing but know that it’s the result of global climate change. The last time I was around in February-March in 2007, it was between 12 and 15º.

I live in Cali belong to Doaba
When we come to Punjab We eat in a desi dhaba
-Jasmine Sandlas, "Sip Sip'
(Sandlas 2018)
Queer and diasporic Punjabi artists enact their world-making - 'a doing for and toward the future' (Muñoz 2009: 1) - through rendering interlinguistic epistemes visible in a manner that confounds rules governing language and, concurrently, subtending the adherence to grammatical categories in both languages. In her song titled Sip, Sip' (Sandlas 2018), the California-raised Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas inexorably mixes English and Punjabi to create meaning for the world she inhabits, underscoring "multiple forms of belonging-in-difference' (Munoz
2009: 20). Assimilating the English verb "belong' in a Punjabi song, the singer adapts it to the overall Punjabi cadence to offer a revised word, 'belongiyaan,' serving the grammatical grouping in Punjabi - a contraction of "belong kardi haan' ('I belong to'). In a single movement, English appears as a minor formation of Punjabi - a sublated presence - despite referencing the singer's life in California in the preceding verse (I live in Cali"). For Punjabi and South Asian diasporic artists, English operates both as the 'over-permeating linguistic, colonial signifier" (Bakshi 2016: 92) and as a hierarchically positioned language performing linguistic and epis-temic erasure of other South Asian languages. In this repard, the emphatic emplacement of the word "belong' evokes a simultaneous inclusion and subversion of normative language interrela-tions, signalling towards a practice of "epistemological reconstitution' (Quijano 2007: 177). In recursive interspersing of English-language words in the song, including in the titular phrase
*Sip. Sip." illustrates the implication of fractal categories of migration. nation, diaspora and language into aesthetic formulations of diasporic artists.

Publication alert! The language that was denied to me is becoming mine, queerly mine. I’m thrilled to have contributed a chapter to the first-ever comprehensive handbook on Punjab Studies and share space with so many wonderful scholars.

En 1823, les États-Unis se posaient en défenseurs des jeunes nations américaines. Deux siècles plus tard, la doctrine Monroe symbolise l’ingérence et la domination. Comment un discours anticolonial a-t-il servi de fondement à une politique impériale durable ?
