The poster above is speaking of a contest of competing hegemonies in which none of the competing parties are.much different. Different than the aim one assumes of these organizers. Don’t get it twisted.

Sucks to be a west-coaster.

Say what? Not only do Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, and MIA all live in the LA region, the Brownstar boys are doing a summer tour where west coast will be fully reveling in their words. Keep posted.

Wore my Brownstar shirt to Disneyland today. Keepin it real.

Nitpick: Hari the Comedian should probably read Hari the Comic. That’s the address of his blog, and his Twitter.

a modest suggestion - unification isn't a term that most pakistanis will find acceptable - for them this conjures the image of kali-worshipping pagans sweeping out of the gangetic plain and forcing them to wear tilaks.

No, I am serious, its going to be an issue. This is a staple of all indo-pak discussions: the indians say we are same-same, lets all be one big market for bollywood; the pakis say oh, dear allah, this is the akhand bharat thing again, isnt it! - and get all weird.

Let me suggest the use of the term reconciliation instead, its more neutral and doesnt get people all anxious.
