Of statues, struggles, and subaltern memory: The aesthetics of commemorating Birsa Munda
The article seeks to examine the contested politics of memory-making in postcolonial, Hindu nationalist India through the figure of Adivasi, anti-colonial leader Birsa Munda. It argues that the Indian state has engaged in a dual process of appropriation and erasure by monumentalizing Birsa through large-scale statuary, selectively framing his legacy within a sanitized narrative of national belonging. Such representational strategies function to d…
Characterizing Survivors' Descriptions of #MeToo Backlash
After going "viral" in 2017, #MeToo brought renewed attention to the issue of sexual violence. While research suggests #MeToo has benefited survivors, journalists have frequently referenced a perceived "backlash." Drawing on interdisciplinary conceptualizations of social backlash, this study aimed to systematically catalogue types of perceived #MeToo backlash among survivors. Using an inductive thematic analytic approach, the study team coded 324…
A Quantitative Comparison of Conventional and Conservation Tillage of Diverse Agro‐Ecologies
A detailed insight on global yield change of crops, soil quality parameters, and water‐nutrient‐energy nexus and biotic factors under conservation tillage (CT) in comparison to conventional tillage (CONT) is limited. We summarized the impacts of CT on yields, profitability, soil quality, and ecosystem sustainability in comparison to CONT. Globally, average yields of crops increased by 3.7% ( p 3 years) compared to CONT. The CT has led to a signif…

Of Rubble, Ruins, and Bulldozers: Punitive Populism, Popular Culture, and the Indian Case
The article seeks to examine the under-studied interplay between punitive populism, affect and popular culture in the context of bulldozer demolitions in India. Bulldozer, seen as a formidable machine, has traditionally been conceived as a harbinger of development and urban planning. However, under the current Hindu-nationalist political regime, it has become the icon that insidiously symbolizes unchecked sovereign power, used for destroying home…
Violent Histories of Indigeneity and International Relations: Tales from the Indian State
The discipline of International Relations (IR) has been complicit in its representation of indigenous populations, often producing teleological narratives underpinning the superiority of the West and legitimizing colonial domination. The historical lived experiences of the indigenous peoples and their knowledge have been silenced and sidelined enabling the anchoring of discussions on political subjectivity and development from the vantage point o…
Decolonizing International Relations: Confronting Erasures through Indigenous Knowledge Systems
The discipline of international relations (IR) has often been critiqued for geo-centric parochialism with scholars increasingly engaging with its colonial origins and legacies. This recent engagement underscores the necessity to unravel and disrupt the epistemic sites of hierarchized power and knowledge relations manifested through dichotomous categorizations like ‘primitive/civilized’, ‘rational-irrational’ and ‘traditional-modern’. The concerns…

Requiem for a Dream: Revisiting Bandung through Practices, Prospects, and Interventions
In 1955, a large group of Asian and African states—many newly independent—gathered in Bandung, Indonesia, to affirm their desire for independence and their refusal to align with the world powers. It was an important landmark in the growth of cooperation among Asian-African states, which fought against the vestiges of European imperialism, celebrated foreign policy activism through the “spirit of Bandung,” and led to the emergence of the “non-alig…

International Relations Theory and World Order: Binaries, Silences and Alternatives
Mainstream international relations theory is consumed by its proclivity towards order; the genesis of which has been attributed to its statist ontology. Such theorisations, by drawing binaries between order and disorder, either assume or normalise order or obfuscate and suggest ways of mitigating any kind of disorder. Paradoxically, questions about the foundational edifice of order are marked by silences. Within the context of world order, this o…
