This thread Simon W Fuchs did yesterday about the South Asian Shi'a role in the rise of Najaf and of Shi'ism in Iraq reminded me that I never delivered on that promise I made a few months back to do an in-depth thread on the Oudh Bequest https://twitter.com/Tweetistorian/status/1310916618185322497

I still have all the PDFs and images I downloaded, and notes I took on the papers and books I read, just sitting there in a folder and a notebook on my desk

idk what happened to my motivation, I used to use this account for educational threads and now I mostly just riff on stuff
