  • In the Indian Express, Pratap Bhanu Mehta explains how and why the idea of Pakistan is taking over India.
  • The post-Pulwama frenzy reflects more outrage at India’s hurt pride than mourning for the murdered jawans, points out Sunanda K Datta-Ray in the Telegraph.
  • The Supreme Court order on the eviction of forest dwellers raises some very disturbing questions, writes Kalpana Kannabiran in the Hindu.
  • In Mint, Priya Ramani explains how you can identify whether you are an anti-national.
  • Bangladesh’s Islamists aim to reverse the revolution of the 1971 Liberation War, says K Anis Ahmed on the Hudson Institute website.
  • In the Jacobin, Meagan Day makes her case for why the socialist Bernie Sanders should be the next president of the United States.
  • Feminist writer Andrea Dworkin is more ridiculed that cited for her extreme views opposing both pornography and sex work. A new collection of her writings, however, call for a rethink, argues Moira Donegan in Book Forum.
  • In the Guardian, Stefan Collini reviews a richly detailed biography of Eric Hobsbawm which reveals his inner life and traces how he became the world’s top historian and a literary star.
  • One of the most radical thinkers of the eighteenth century, Frenchman Denis Diderot was both too much a man of his time and too much ahead of his time, writes Lynn Hunt in the New York Review of Books.
  • In the New York Times, Kevin Rose writes about how he got over his smartphone addiction.
  • New research suggests that a controversial gene-editing experiment to make children resistant to HIV may also have enhanced their ability to learn and form memories, explains Antonio Regalado in the MIT Technology Review.
