@BloomsburyIndia is releasing a book on the Delhi Riots 2020 --- and guess who the Guest of Honours are:

KAPIL MISHRA, the hate-monger and brain-child of goli maaron saalon ko (shoot the bastards) slogan, who explicitly called for violence against Muslims and Dalits.

Vivek Agnihotri who is the idiot who started the term URBAN NAXAL -- which is turn has been conveniently bought by the state and the mainstream to portray anyone remotely left, or even left-liberal as a traitor to the nation. These are the people who actively cause riots.

The literary world must take a stand. This is not about Cancel Culture. This is about defending literature from fascism. This is about standing up against religious divide, hate speech, islamophobia and false history. @BloomsburyBooks

Thank you @persistara for bringing this out

The venom of Kapil Mishra and his supporters.

This is the naked face of neoliberalism, this is where market-is-supreme will lead us. Fascists who orchestrate a riot write a book about it before the blood has even dried—we will publish it. Market forces claim neutrality saying but we are also publishing a book on Shaheen Bagh

Dalits Bahujans Adivasis Muslims Women and the Working Class have encountered something all the time. How often we wish to speak, to write, to fight and are told THAT IS SUBJUDICE. THAT IS IN THE COURTS. SHUT UP.

How can there a be a book on Delhi Riots before the trial?
