A few #KuzhaliManickavel stories have been moving into Indian languages recently. Novelist Hansda Sowvendra Shekar translated "Paavai" (from Manickavel's 1st collection, Insects Are Just Like You and Me Except Some of Them Have Wings) & published it in #Hindi in #VanmaliKatha last month, and Appadurai Muttulingam has a #Tamil translation of "The Statue Game" in #Andhimazhai.
That moment when you're learning #Japanese, and you wonder "How to say 'United States' in Japanese?", and someone answers "アメリカ". Son of a b*tch, I didn't wonder how to say #America, I wondered how to say #UnitedStates :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: 🤡
#Ebooks are available from the Blaft website, from Smashwords, or from the muchtoolarge retailers. Can we interest you in a #Tamil supernatural #thriller in English #translation? #Mythology from the state of #Mizoram on India's border with Myanmar? Bonkers slipstream short fiction from Kuzhali Manickavel? An encyclopedia of #ghosts and #cryptids?

Across the street lived her daughter and Ashkenazi #jewish American husband, both professors.
White supremacy, racially motivated hate crimes, and the murders of racial, religious and sexual minorities don’t happen in a vacuum. They are encouraged, given life, and ultimately driven by leaders who knowingly deploy the terror to advance and increase their own power.
Interview: Prof Ganesh Devy on attempts to distort history and his battle to preserve it
Eminent linguist and historian Prof. Ganesh Devy spoke to The Federal during his recent visit to Chennai for a discussion on the book, 'Indians: histories of a civilisation'.
In this freewheeling chat, the historian talks about this book of which he is one of the editors; he also touches upon the central government's attempts at rewriting history and on the imposition of Hindi. Placing Tamil language's heritage in the global context, Prof Devy argues why the BJP government's approach towards language is dangerous and needs to be countered.
Article 343(1) of the Constitution of #India (adopted in 1950) says #Hindi is an official language of the Union.

Because, Entrance test coaching are for the privileged and hence Tamizhnadu people & govt. opposes NEET for social equity.
This year has been a reminder to tend to the little spaces on the internet I call my own with more care, starting with https://indiastreetlettering.com/.
I set up this website years ago to collect photographs I take of street lettering around the country, but I’ve been terrible at keeping it up-to-date. That changes now. And if I can keep myself motivated, I’ll share a picture from it here every week 🤞🏼
When I visited Chennai five years ago, I spent a morning photographing signs for hardware stores in George Town. Among them was this one for Quality Machine Tools, which featured the most delicious, high-contrast Tamil lettering.
