By Laurie Patton

…The Hindus: An Alternative History. Rather than challenge sections of the Indian penal code which make it a crime to insult religion or religious beliefs, Penguin India has agreed to pulp all remaining copies of the book in India, and declare respect for all world religions.

…ng to hear the same message over and over again. Steven Newcomb, a Shawnee Indian, said it best in a column in Indian Country Today: What the hell were they thinking… the code name was based on an extension of the metaphor “Indians Are Enemies” to “Geronimo was a Terrorist,” thus perpetuating the US tradition of treating Indian nations and peoples as enemies. Maybe if the lessons of the Indian wars had been pondered before the misdirected invasion…

Richard Grenell, an openly gay foreign affairs commentator, is reportedly going to be nominated by U.S. President Donald Trump to be ambassador to Germany.

Inside Outsourced: Come See Where Your Jobs Went

By Haroon Moghul

… I think it helps that the film production community is more familiar with India and Indian culture than, say, 20 years ago. People have filmed there or have been invited to visit by friends or have been exposed to its culture through Bollywood or the music scene.

Israel has better relations with Germany than any other country in the EU, while ultra-Orthodox Jews have been returning to Poland and Hungary and purchasing property once owned…

Again, we might ask: whose memory, exactly, is meant to be secured by the proposed infli…

By Megan Sweas

…ivilege from the government.” But both the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India and the National Council of Churches in India, a Protestant organizing body, have backed Thomas. In doing so, church leaders have had to admit that Christianity in India is tainted by caste—a strange argument for American Christians, especially evangelicals, who pour millions of dollars into missionary work in India. Is religion, and Christianity in particular, as Das…
