Worth noting that the BCCI media manager was attempting to stall his response. Kohli had to contradict him to assert this direct rebuttal to Hindutva trolls…
you know, the best part of virat kohli’s interview? he stated religion as the root of all the abuse shami was getting. no room for a counter argument. addressing the islamophobia was so important.

Lata Mangeshkar—like other subcontinental stars—had her contradictions. She spoke positively of Muslim colleagues, admiration from Pakistan, and Savarkar/RSS. These contradictions must be taken seriously intellectually, instead of being dismissed as nonsensical/inauthentic (1/2)

It went parallel with her deep sympathy for Marathi Hindu politics.

Abdul Ghaffar Khan counterintuitively argued that his Pashtun Frontier was the origin and centre of inclusive Indian nationalism. In my new book, I show he overcame its peripheral status partly by making its late colonial question India-Afghanistan, rather than Hindu-Muslim (1/7)

INC must stop shaming MIM (and BSP). Rather it must make a stronger appeal to Muslims (and Dalits) to vote for it in even larger numbers. This entitled dismissal of political pluralism helps nobody (1/2)
Madam, I was the sitting MP of Aurangabad. INDIA alliance with 3 parties coming together secured 2,93,450 votes.

In which case India could play a well-balanced 5-man attack of: Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Jadeja and Ashwin
The success of England's batting in this series, might just tempt them to make the pitch at Edgbaston flat. And India should be happy if that happens.

Unpopular opinion: despite a poor series, Patidar should play at Dharamshala. Faster pitch and he gets into great positions against pace. IND will need these skills overseas, especially post RGS/VK
Sample this: back-foot punch off Wood (147 kmph) at Rajkot…

Sadly most (not all) English criticism of turning pitches isn’t about cricket. It’s a cultural problem; it comes out of a historicised superiority complex that prevents the embrace of otherness. If a pitch has even bounce it’s good for cricket. Even if it’s bad for your politics.
Ashwin pulls no punches! "What is a good cricket surface and who defines it?,"

More evidence that Bhuvneshwar can only play when both Bumrah and Harshal do, thus freeing him from death-bowling duty. There are other options too: the better defensive bowler is Arshdeep. To complete the focus on defence, perhaps even consider Ashwin for Chahal, and to bat at 9
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s grand figures: 4 overs for 52 runs and no wickets. 4 wides.
Of course, after his disastrous 19th over against Pak & Sri Lanka in Asia Cup, Rohit Sharma in his wisdom gave it to him again. Tactical genius, innit?

Because Azad thought "fake" narratives were potentially alluring, pro-unity Indians had to be doubly vigilant when engaging with the past. For Nehru, "unity in diversity" was almost too self-evident. For his great friend Azad, amity and enmity oddly co-existed in India

TLDR: Azad divides history into what's dead and what lives on via its descendants. Our contemporary inheritance matters; history per se doesn't. But since inheritance can be tampered with by RW religious nationalists, it's also an active principle to which we remain responsible

So Azad subordinated the long political history of Indian monarchy to this focus on culture and society. Kings and queens were dead. But poetry, music, painting, food etc. were alive for the next generation(s). And importantly, these things can't be easily divided by religion
