Anarchy or Chaos | Hurst Publishers The first biography of an extraordinary political thinker at the heart of India's struggles against colonial and domestic oppression.

On 15 January 1919, the German Spartacus communists Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered by the German Freikorps. As probably the only Indian ever, just a few weeks earlier, M.P.T. Acharya had met them both in Berlin.

I’ve been working on a short film for exhibition alongside artist Mahtab Hussain. We need some help from our South Asian, and in particular Muslim, siblings.

Send us your home videos and old photographs. It’s for something truly special.

An honour to be present at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to hear the testimony of Nihon Hidankyo - the survivors of the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima - who have advocated tirelessly for the abolition of nuclear weapons. That there is a nuclear taboo at all is thanks to them.
