Nitish vs Nitish
SOME stories must be retold as an act of resistance. They must be remembered as sacred, as testimony to the suffering of the people who have learnt to give up, to not expect, to wait until eternity, to not complain and to let go. Of hope, expectations, dignity. There is a lot that's wrong in Bihar. Yet, we only spoke of the past and the distant future in the elections. The rhetoric was surreal, like a Magritte painting where the boundaries between reality and representation merged. But Bihar isn't a painting. It is a collage of many things. It is a patchwork of many stories.

Politics and U
My parents are visiting me in Brussels. They are always watching the election news on TV as it unfolds in Bihar where we come from. At night, when I remind my mother to put her phone away, she pleads for an hour of catching up on all election news and analysis of the day on YouTube. This is also because there is a story of unfinished political business or aspiration.
