Another session of Tankie Group Therapy featuring the old crew: @justinpodur, @norabf, @karaokecomputer, @rosendo_joe,  @alexander_avina, and Urorientalist.The session seemed to revolve mostly around Ansarallah ("Houthis") statements after they attacked Tel Aviv and were bombed by Israeli F-35s. The disconnect between their response and Western solidarity. And then we got the news of Biden stepping down, so some quick reactions to that at the end.

Talking to Amaresh Mishra, author of the giant book India 1857: War of Civilisations about the immense scale of the Indian revolution against British imperialism that year: the scale of Hindu-Muslim unity, the class aspect of the revoution, the scale of the genocidal British massacres that followed (Mishra’s estimate is that the British killed 10 million Indians), and the importance of the so-called “1857 line”: the spiritual, cultural, political and economic connection between Hindu and Muslim in South Asia and resistance to Anglo-American imperialism, the recovery of which is the only way for South Asia to take its place in the world. We analyze Modi’s politics since 2014 and the continuing weakness of pro-Western ideologies (whether of the Congress or Hindutva variety) when faced with revolutionary politics.
