Oppressor y @TyrantOppressor The team represents Indian cricket team, not a Hindu cricket team. So why only a temple? After winning the World Cup, Indian team went to a temple with the trophy. There is nothing wrong with that. But a question arises. Are only Hindus loyal to the country? Are Buddhists, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains and others not loyal to the country? So as an Indian team, either you go to every religious place or don't go to any religious place.

The Sunehri Mosque

The explanatory plaque of the Sunehri Mosque. Javid Khan's name does not appear in the explanation.

The heartache of queer/trans erasure is the Sunehri (Golden) mosque built by Javid Khan next to the Red Fort. Javid Khan, a trans warrior, one of the highest-ranked officials in the 18thC (not just existing but thriving). Their name erased from memory despite the inscription on the mosque. 3/

Passage from a book that tells us about the Muhammad Tahsin, the Royal Eunuch.

histories that were edited out through successive heteronormative enactments of erasure, both colonial and postcolonial. The Jama Masjid (Delhi's mosque), the queer Sufi tombs, the iconic Red Fort -- all in what is considered 'old' (!) Delhi bear queer presence triumphantly across centuries. 2/

This time in India was mostly a short work visit. Hope I can be back for a proper holiday in April.
The highlight -- more incoming in my work -- was the Delhi Queer Heritage walk I did, which was organised by the trans archivist Batool Ali. Batool is extraordinarily well versed in queer & trans 1/

And wonder if the market has changed that much in general. Sadly shows are still cancelled for the same commercial reasons aren't they. Amazon didn't really save the soap opera Neighbours for very long (although that survived for 40 years, bit longer than Firefly!)

It may have been saved if there was all these streaming companies back when it was canceled but time moves on doesn't it as you say!

About Buffy, there was an Audible drama a couple of years ago wasn't there, with quite a lot of the original cast. May be something like this

Let's see if they've got Chloé Zhou and Dolly Parton as executive producers like the Buffy continuation!

Me in front of Udham Singh's statue.

Lala Hardayal Singh who founded the revolutionary Ghadar Party against empire. Udham Singh, the anticolonial warrior, a witness to the massacre, went to London and murdered Michael O'Dwyer, Lt Gov of the Punjab, who had given the orders for the massacre. FAFO! The spirit lives on. /fin

Jallianwala Bagh. The memorial pillar (image) is certainly something I don't quite consider worthy of the uses of memory. It serves the instinct of beautification with the outcome of ensh****fication where folks make reels -- in fact, there were several notices not to make 'em.

Last post on Amritsar. Yesterday we visited the site of the Jallianwala Bagh colonial massacre (1919), one of the well documented mass murders of the British Empire. It was my 2nd visit. I'm not against memorialisation of historical sites per se, but had read critiques ofthe museum-ification of 1/
