Breaking with tradition, I am sending another mail after the one I sent yesterday, to remind you all that tomorrow (Saturday the 7th August) is the last date of submission for Chobi Mela VI. The call for entries is at: www.chobimela.org and http://www.shahidulnews.com/2010/07/dreams/. Newer postings follow. Thanks to our former photo librarian Prava Rai for pointing me to the writing of Tabish Khair:
http://www.shahidulnews.com/2010/08/how-can-i-speak-out/
By Tabish Khair: If I were Jewish I could simply condemn Israel's latest misadventure. If I were Jewish, I could choose to overlook my own, Jewish, contexts and focus instead on the rights and suffering of the other: of Muslim Palestinians. If I were Jewish, I could hardly do anything else – as a significant minority of Jewish intellectuals has demonstrated – without lying to myself about my own motives and twisting facts. But as a Muslim I cannot give myself the right to overlook the fears of the other: in this case, Israeli Jews.

By Tabish Khair: If you only shut out the screaming of those who will not listen, you recognise the blessing of a coherent identity: for the identity of a person from a minority does not depend on a piece of cloth or a ritual; it is part of his own lived being. It is not external; it is internal. And with it comes the blessing of having cause to write.

By Washington's Blog: I chatted with the head of a small investment brokerage about the China credit rating story. Because he gives his clients very bullish, status quo advice, I assumed that he would say that China was wrong. To my surprise, he simply responded: They're right. What's scary is that China knows it. In other words, everyone who pays any attention knows that we're broke. What's scary is that our biggest creditor knows it.
