AI and the real ‘Mother’ of Democracy
A review of “The Past, Present, and Possible Future of UK Democracy in the Age of AI” by Md Shabaz and Zeenat Firdaus From the Magna Carta to the Long Parliament Beginning with the Magna Carta forced upon King John in 1215by his rebellious barons, the United Kingdom has been at the forefront of modern democratic innovation.

Photo taken as Roms mikes up for the lecture on the three 'emperors' on the Allahabad Pillar, and the worldview of each. She spoke of how the Mauryan state under Ashoka saw itself as a sort of defender of the faith, with marriage and trade relations with the post-Alexandrine Greek states to the northwest, while keeping a certain aloofness from the people to the extreme south. Of how the Gupta state, with its martial pretensions (since the Guptas had to legitimise non-Kshatriya origins), followed a more aggressive policy towards the south (on stone at least) while building trade networks across the eastern seas, ignoring to some extent the northwest. And finally of how the Timurid Mughal state chose by accident of history the same pillar (or perhaps some understanding that this was no ordinary pillar) to impose its own claims of legitimacy, under Jahangir's someone's majestic, sometimes fanciful imprint, with a worldview that reeks of self assurance if not outright arrogance. Three stories spun out of a single pillar in a neglected city on the Gangetic plain, each masterful (though there were plenty of gaps), and each presenting a portrait of an emperor, who was fallible after all. #RomilaThapar #CSMVS #IndiaAndTheWorld #Museum #Epigraphy #History #Archaeology #Allahabad #AllahabadPillar (at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya)

The Anthropological Taxonomy of Mumbaikars
The Anthropological Taxonomy of Mumbaikars
[Originally posted on The South Reports, now defunct]
Abstract:
As a Mumbaikar, born in Matunga and raised in military cantonments, I have had both an indsider’s and an outsider’s perspective of this city in which I have made (and unmade) my destiny. This has given me a unique (and unenviable) chance to observe the denizens of this super-city very carefully, and make mental notes from time to…

Depression and the brain
Depression and the brain
Far too much of how we see our bodies had been influenced by religion and spiritualism. While we may slowly come to accept that there is nothing such as a soul, we still think that there is something such as the mind, somewhat detached from the corporeal self. Too many otherwise rational people think so too; it is hardwired into our languages.
There is no such thing. There is only a brain, an…
