Watching the show Railway Man rn and God nothing infuriates me more than AMERICANS I was gonna say government employees before AMERICANS IN POWER THAT CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING AND ALLL THE AMERICANS ON TUMBLR THAT ARE GOING TO COME TO ME I DON'T CARE I HAVE SM RAGE IN ME RN AND BEFORE I GO ON A RANT ON HOW THE SHOW IS GOOD I WANNA SAY THIS

Imbecile American can rot in their "free world" for they did nothing good out of global welfare and alliance

Yeah, now why are safety measures never working when you need them the most?! For those of who that came across this post and have no idea, this is about the Bhopal Gas Tragedy where about 8000 people were killed due to MIC, which is an extremely poisonous gas. And watch this show Indians should definitely watch this show. This show infuriates me to no extend over incompetent Government employees that don't know their job and corrupt politicians that can't fucking do atleast one thing right. And God save us for there are only "some" officials and people in the country that atleast do care. And that gives me hope for the future of the country. Men, women and children dying because there was no way of control and I have to say 'why are people so hard to restrain?!' when you tell them there's danger, don't get out of the train kyu train ke bahar aana hai, khud ke liye platform pe lashe giri dekhni hai— listen to the people that are looking out for your safety. Politicians, people in power, higher ranking officials that choose to sit silently for the danger isn't close to them are imbeciles, one that are legit the only harm to mankind. There's no gruesome crime than having a person in charge that doesn't have ounce of humanity.

#the railway men #babil khan #r madhavan #k k menon #I cried for his death and then he woke up at a mortuary #also my cousin was like 'ab yeh uthega' and I told him this ain't an Hollywood movie #woh sach mei uth gaya 🥲#But yea I cried for Riaz and SM and Vijaya and Prasad and Kumudini and his child #this show is so haunting and gruesome #everyone should watch it and yea you won't regret it #bhopal gas tragedy

Ms. Marvel

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Ms. Marvel (2022, USA)

Creator: Bisha K. Ali

Directors: Adil & Bilall, Meera Menon and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

Mini-review:

I had read a lot of divisive comments about this show, so I didn't expect to like it so much! I just loved how vibrant and colorful it was. Iman Vellani brings a lot of energy to the lead role, she truly has the makings of a star. The plot itself is not that different from other superhero origin stories, but the setting and all the representation makes it feel like something we've never seen before. I'm not going to say it's a perfect show (they tried to fit too much stuff in just six 40-minute episodes, and some characters had 180º changes that made little sense), but its strengths completely make up for any possible flaws. Overall, I think it was a marvelous (pun intended) introduction to this character, and I can't wait to see more of her in The Marvels and other projects.

Can you recommend any books about non-binary identity other than your own? I just finished "Gender Queer", and intend to buy a copy as a present for a family member who's trying to wrap her head around the concept, but if you know of any other material on the subject I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, yes! Here are some other books you could try:

Sissy: A Coming of Gender Story by Jacob Tobia, a prose memoir

She Wants It: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy by Jill Soloway, a prose memoir

A Year Without a Name: A Memoir by Cyrus Grace Dunham, a prose memoir

Carework: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, a series of prose essays

Femme in Public by Alok Vaid-Menon, a poetry collection

Pansy by Andrea Gibson, a poetry collection

The Gender Creative Child: Pathways for Nurturing and Supporting Children Who Live Outside Gender Boxes by Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, prose nonfiction

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Leguin, prose sci-fi

Out of Salem by Hal Schrieve, young adult fiction (light horror elements)

Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor, literary fiction

Grease Bats by Archie Bongiovanni, slide of life humor comics

Across A Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti, sci-fi comic

All of the above are books I have already read. Below are three I haven't read yet, but they come so well reviewed I feel confident recommending them:

Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon, nonfiction prose

Fine: A Comic About Gender by Rhea Ewing, nonfiction comic

Gender: A Graphic Guide by Meg-John Baker and Jules Scheele, nonfiction comic

“There’s a real misunderstanding that you can come in and say, ‘I want to read post-colonial texts - that’s the thing I want to study - and I have no interest in studying the work of dead white men’. My answer, in the big first lecture that I give, is, If you want to understand Arundhati Roy, or Salman Rushdie, or Zadie Smith, you have to read Dickens. Because one of the tragedies of the British Empire is that all those writers read all those books.”

- Tara K. Menon, “The End of the English Major” in The New Yorker

ms marvel is a project that's not only featuring a largely south asian cast, but it also has many poc behind the scenes. the head writer of the show is bisha k. ali, who is british-pakistani. directed by adil el arbi, billal fallah, meera menon, and sharbeen obaid-chinoy, all people of color. it is completely immersed in south asian culture, from the music to the clothing to even the bits of urdu casually thrown into their daily conversation. so by not watching it, you are letting marvel and the rest of hollywood know that you are not interested in media that is largely created by poc and depicting real, accurate poc experiences and culture. this is the very excuse marvel needs to go back to largely white casts with white writers and directors. i'm begging you to please please watch ms marvel and show it some love because this show means a lot to so many of us and its success opens up the gate to more representation in the mcu, not even just on screen, but also behind the screen

#ms marvel #marvel #watch it! please please pelase

THE STORY OF MAMANKAM Part 3/3

These articles quote a lot from K. V. Krishna Ayyar's The Zamorins of Calicut and Wikipedia (which again uses the aforementioned text as the main source). So all credits go to K. V. Krishna Ayyar and the Wikipedia contributors.

Samoothiri - Zamorin, the King of Kozhikode

Valluvakonathiri - The King of Valluvanadu

1. The Legend of the Cheraman Perumal

2. Mamankam During the Reign of Samoothiri

3. Chavers of Valluvanadu

When Samoothiri conquered Valluvakonathiri, all other kings of Kerala were obliged to send flags of submission (adimakkodi) to Thirunavaya. But Valluvakonathiri refused to acknowledge Samoothiri as the legitimate Rakshapurushan (Great Protector) of Mamankam. He used to send chavers (suicide warriors) instead.

If these men could kill the Samoothiri who was personally present at the fair under the protection of his own forces, the privilege of Great Protector might have returned to the Valluvakonathiri. But no Samoothiri in history was ever killed by a chaver. Chavers and Pantheerayiram (the bodyguard of the Samoothiri) were considered the property of their respective kings and kingdoms.

Kudippaka or blood feud was prevalent in the medieval Kerala society. If a warrior was killed, it was considered the duty of his king and the subsequent generations of the deceased to avenge the death. Chavers were led by warriors from one of the four major Nair houses of Valluvanadu - Putumana, Chandrothu, Vayankara, and Verkotu. Other than these four main families who would lead the suicide warriors, fourteen other families too would send chavers. Often, Muslims too supported Chavers.

Chavers preferred death to defeat. No chaver has ever come back from Mamankam. Once, a Puthumana Panikker couldn't cross the Pantheerayiram but the Pantheerayiram couldn't kill him either. Panikker begged to Samoothiri's forces to end his misery but they were scared of him. No one has seen the great warrior again.

Those who decide to partake in this suicide mission would first go to Thirunelly and finish their own funerary rites (and their mothers' too if they didn't have other sons) even when they were alive. After this, they would visit Thirumandhamkunu bhagavati (the tutelary goddess of Valluvakonathiri), bathe in the temple pond and meditate for forty-one days on the Chaver thara ("platform of the martyrs"). Samoothiri's bodyguards too conducted similar prayers, reiterating their oath to the king.

After completing their meditation, Chavers went to Puthumana home. After washing their feet on the stone floor, they would be served their last meal, rice mixed with coconut oil and salt, by Puthumana Amma (the eldest lady of the family) who was considered the sister of Valluvakonathiri. They would leave for Thirunavaya after praying at Puthumana kalari (dojo).

On each day of Mamankam, they would fight their way through heavy security to the Nilapadu thara. Needless to say, all of them were slaughtered by the bodyguards who too were mowed down by Chavers without any mercy. After Samoothiri returned to his residence everyday, the bodies of chavers would be dragged by elephants and immersed in a well known as Mani kinar.

Despite the seemingly impenetrable security, Samoothiri came dangerously close to death twice. Two teenage chavers, Puthumana Kandaru Menon and Chandroth Chanthunni managed to bypass the 12,000 and reached Nilapadu thara on seperate years. Chandrothu Chanthunni almost decapitated the Samoothiri but his sword was stopped by a big bronze lamp.

The Mamankam fest came to an end with the conquest of Kozhikode by Ḥaidar Ali and the subsequent Treaty of Seringapatam with the English East India Company.
