Okay so I found this absolute gem of a website where you can download and access rare books on Indian history, art, and culture. Also you can browse old paintings, maps, sculptures and manuscripts - it’s basically like a virtual museum

You can browse collections by themes and there are so many of them, from the Mughals to music and dance to maps of the subcontinent to the independence movement to military history to Marathas and Rajputs to overseas Hindu empires to maritime history

You can also access rare paintings, sketches, and photographs, and they come with info beside them and links of reading material on it

Oh and not to mention, you can also access original manuscripts right from ancient to modern times with translations and sources and additional links to download-able files (mostly PDFs)

It’s free and it’s been super useful for me for research and accessing material when I can’t go to the library, and also for when I want to go down research rabbit holes, and I’m losing my mind

Oh lord! Thou must help me hold this inexplicable sadness in my bones-

If I pay for you to go to Hebron for a month so you can openly be yourself there, will you go? It seems you really like the people there and it would be fun to see how they receive you.

I need all the juveniles in my asks to stop pivoting the Palestine conflict to me and how I’d fare if I lived in or visited the region. I’m gay. Yes, homophobia exists. I do not need random Tumblr users reminding me of this.

This situation is obviously not about me. We are advocating for people’s right to not die. Can’t believe I have to say that you can advocate for queer rights and Palestinians right to live at the same damn time.
