The Phule We Remember: As remembered by Damodar Savalaram Yande – The Satyashodhak
I remember with certainty that whenever His Highness spoke about Jotirao Phule, he addressed him with the reverential title of ‘Mahatma’.

On the right, text reads: 'How do activists make use of digital platforms for social change in the face of algorithms and increasing platform power?' In the top right corner, there is a logo that says 'CENTER FOR MEDIA @ RISK.

In the precolonial times if the state or Brahminical institutions recognized a caste group as upper caste (Brahmin or Kshatriya), it would come with entitlements (real or potential).

As we celebrated Savitribai Phule's birth anniversary yesterday, I couldn't help but remember Hari Narke who left us one and half years ago. Narke spent so much of his career gathering historical details about Jotirao and Savitribai Phule, including the accurate information about Savitribai's death.

If its not clear why non-Americans might worry about RFK Jr's lawyer pushing the FDA to revoke polio vaccine approvals, if polio returns, it will end up disrupting populations in spaces with much fewer resources than the US. This irresponsible, CRIMINAL choice will have global consequences.
