Ireland’s history of humiliating the powerless has a new chapter Downplaying the lived experience of minorities is not a new thing in Ireland - and it is allowing racism to gain traction

With Rahul Sambaraju, I argue denial of racism and its coding in nationalism abets acts of racist violence.

Thank you to @deirdre for running this piece. And thanks to Philomena Mullen for discussions on this, and @swethaa.bsky.social Ballakrishnen for injecting the word blasé into my head:

Neutralising Ambedkar: A Book Review of The Foresighted Ambedkar by Anurag Bhaskar Even as he questioned democracy and the state, Dr B.R. Ambedkar sought to make a Constitution to protect individuals and minorities from the legislature—people need to be protected from the People.

On Ambedkar’s death anniversary, I argue that his disillusionment are as indicative of his radical ethics as his achievements: frontline.thehindu.com/books/ambedk...
