This is happening only with Dalits in the country.” On people being targetted only because they belong to a particular caste or creed he said: “I have also seen times when mobs assaulted innocent people like animals with sticks and batons simply because they belonged to a different caste or religion. Definitely, there have been times when I have received brick bats as well which caused immense pain but deep within I know that my country wants to teach me, so I try to understand it.” We need to break free from this regressive mindset,” he said.Įxpressing his gratitude for the constant love that he received from the people, Gandhi said: “My country has loved me unconditionally for which I shall be indebted eternally.

![]() Sanneh debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes, and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing that sometimes, the best popular music isn’t transcendent. Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there have always been Black audiences and white audiences, with more or less overlap depending on the moment, there has been Black music and white music, constantly mixing and separating. Sanneh shows how these genres have been defined by the tension between mainstream and outsider, between authenticity and phoniness, between good and bad, right and wrong. His first book is called Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres (Penguin, 2021). The book refracts the entire history of popular music over the past fifty years through the big genres that have defined and dominated it-rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance music, and pop-as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities. He was a pop music critic at the New York Times from 2000-2008, and has been a staff writer at the New Yorker since then. Kelefa Sanneh was born in England, and lived in Ghana and Scotland before moving with his parents to the United States in the early 1980s. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2015, it was selected by Points of Light Foundation to set a new Guinness World Record for the most children reading the same book across the globe to promote literacy.

I don't have to protect you to assuage my guilt for failing so badly to protect him. I've made mistakes by taking you for granted, assuming you knew how I felt about you when I didn't feel inclined to tell you, not letting you into the parts of my life that are painful because I wanted to protect you. “Sometimes, I think you are my only reality.” What would you’ve done if I’d come over and kissed you?

By the start of 2022, it had surpassed 13,000 citations. Karen Barad’s Meeting the universe halfway ( 2007) has emerged as one of the foundational works in the developing field of new materialist philosophy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and loyalty over the years.
