  1. To mark #RepublicDayindia, re-posting my essay 'Jaya Hé! The Story of India’s National Anthem' published in Serenade Magazine

    The inspiring & controversial history of the national anthem, the canards Tagore faced (& still does), & why this poem is a literary masterpiece

  2. March 3rd 1986 was the date that the Australia Act took effect.

    Prior to that, the Australian constitution was an Act of British Parliament we couldn’t change without the assent of the English House of Commons, and Australian High Court cases could be appealed to the British Privy Council.

    So we weren’t in charge of our own constitution or our own court system. We weren’t independent from Britain in any meaningful way.

    That changed with the passage of the Australia Act. Thirty nine years ago. That’s how old we are as an independent country.

    March 3rd should be a public holiday marking our national Independence Day.

    We choose to celebrate our formation as an English jail instead, and the main reason we do it is belligerent unselfconscious completely normalized racism against Indigenous Australians, baked into the very fabric of our colonist culture.

  3. January 26th, aka Bogan Mardi-Gras. Welcome I guess. Glad to see all the good people of Vic, Qld, Tas, SA and WA having a festival day to celebrate NSW’s special day.

    Sorry, First Nations people of Australia. First one since the bigotry vote last year must be a bit more bitter than usual. Continuous sovereignty, never ceded. Treaty now.

    Happy Republic Day, India. Australia’s marking the day NSW became an English jail, you’re having a holiday for fucking off the British and forming your own government.

    (Our Independence Day anniversary is March 3rd, but nobody pays any attention to that at all, or even knows what it is)

  4. I feel sorry for my Indian colleagues tomorrow. They are going to get bombarded with loads of slack messages because I am scheduling them.

    P.S. I hope my Indian colleagues are enjoying #RepublicDay #RepublicDayindia

  10. ‪As we celebrate #RepublicDayIndia is it time to rethink who “We” are?‬

    New on the politics #blog - a post that I had in my drafts for a very long time. Today seems the apt day to put my thoughts together.

    Read & tell me what you think? Who is the “We” in We, the people of India?

  12. This Republic Day, make some time and read my aunt, Minna Kabir’s reflections on Rabindranath Tagore’s ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’. I promise, it will be worth your while. 😊
