The West misunderstands its own far right : "The self-serving centrist use of the term populism to describe right-and left-wing movements has lent a veneer of respectability to right-wing extremists and eased their entry into the political mainstream."

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Aindri, illustrator and animator. Wanted to share my latest bookcover project. I'm open to commissions aindric.com/portfolio/

Taresh, the boy hunter. Those Boyhood Years is the first English translation of a century old coming-of-age BL set in colonial Bengal, 1920s. "Chhele Boyeshe" (1926) was a lost classic by renowned children's book author Shibram Chakraborty. Check with Speaking Tiger Books for more details!

Those Boyhood Years by Shibram Chakraborty. First published as “Chhele Boyeshe” (1926) now translated to English. This gay coming of age romance is a forgotten debut novel by a 21 yr old after his stint in prison during the British Raj. He went on to become a Bengali children's book writer later

Flash floods and a glacier-linked ice-rock avalanche have torn through Rasuwa, near the Nepal–Tibet border. A 2009 Himal piece explains how ecologically interconnected the entire Subcontinent is: www.himalmag.com/the-need-for...

In 2016, we reported from Karnali on how climate change was deepening existing vulnerabilities and how a lack of data made it harder to prepare for what was coming. A decade later, the Rasuwa floods remind us that climate disasters rarely hit on a blank slate : www.himalmag.com/change-and-d...
