Full episode from my podcast

Star Trek is a fandom I have been part of for more than half my life, and not just because of its entertainment value. It has much to say about humanity, the future, religion, science, and even caste. It is chock full of politics, and has always been at the forefront of social justice. But these days, we mostly talk of science fiction in terms of visual effects and "fight scenes" (as if they are wrestling matches). I have wanted for quite some time to start making content about science fiction we all should watch because it is NECESSARY.

Congress humiliates BJP in Karnataka - We chatted about it

The recently concluded Karnataka elections have drawn significant attention as the results have now been revealed. In a stunning turn of events, the Congress party has emerged victorious, achieving a resounding win over its main rival, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Colonial Roots of Starfleet

In this video, we examine the darker side of Star Trek's portrayal of exploration and how it reflects the legacy of imperialism and cultural domination.

Why I deleted my Twitter account

Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a video to mark the occasion of, it's actually a kind of a big thing because I have deleted my Twitter account. I have been, you know, like this is not something surprising to anyone who's aware of the fact that I've kind of been moving away from social media for quite some time, like the beginning of this year.

Middle-Class Entertainment

The pattern that seems to emerge when one looks at all the ways in which middle-class India engages with civic issues is that it is all little more than entertainment. And when the things they are obsessed with become something more than entertainment, they start to get queasy and often even hostile.

What fools don't understand about Parliamentary democracy

In a democratic society, the power ultimately lies with the people. Elected officials are put in place to serve the public and make decisions that reflect the will of the people. However, it is crucial to understand that democracy is not a one-way street. Those who hold positions of power must be held accountable for their actions, and citizens have the right to question and challenge those in authority.

The low-code moment for writers

I was talking to a coder about how there are promises in the air about how "anyone" can be a writer now. A few years ago, I remember similar promises about how "anyone" could create an app "with the click of a button". And of course, there were the promises from the early web about how "anyone" could start a business or a publication. Plenty of people did, but "anyone"?

Right Wing hijacks the inclusive agenda, again

Let me tell you about something I've noticed happening quite a bit lately. I like to call it the "hijacking of the Liberal worldview." You might have a different name for it, but it's definitely something worth knowing about. It's even connected to the recent situation where Rahul Gandhi was targeted and disqualified from Parliamrnt for making allegedly anti-OBC remarks.
