Teaching @SamiaKhatun Australianama and its stories from the Kasasol Ambia - alerted me to the world of listening. I found a Konkani version of the text in the British Library. And this in the Bombay Gazette. Where is the Concani Mosque in Bombay? What was the Concani quarter?

Neha Bora, a doctoral student, is the president of the All India Students Association, which is affiliated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) (Liberation). During the recent student protests at Jantar Mantar—which culminated in the resignation of the union education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan—Bora carried out a 23-day hunger strike alongside two other AISA activists and the Ladakhi educationist Sonam Wangchuk. As one of the student leaders of the protests, Bora has become a prominent face of the youth movement. Shahid Tantray (@shahidtantray), a multimedia reporter at The Caravan, spoke to them several times over the course of the agitation, when they were on a hunger strike, as well as after Pradhan’s resignation. Read the entire interview in The Caravan's August 2026 issue: caravanmagazine.in/politics/…

This is the greatest and bravest woman you will ever see in your life Dr. Amira from Gaza. Under the siege of the hospital, in front of the snipers’ bullets, she ran forward without hesitation, pulled out the stranded patient, and saved his life. This video will be remembered by generations to come…forever.
