Sajjad Hussain/AFP via Getty Images On Feb. 1, the editor of an award-winning Indian magazine got a call from his social media manager: The magazine's Twitter account was down. "I said, 'Are you sure? Can you just refresh, and check again?'" recalled Vinod K. Jose, executive editor of The Caravan, which covers politics and culture. "But she said, 'No, no, it's real.'" Jose went online, and instead of The Caravan's tweets, he saw a message: "withheld in India in response to a legal demand." It was one of more than 500 accounts – belonging to Indian activists, opposition politicians and media – that Twitter blocked that week, on orders from the Indian government. Days earlier, farmers who'd been rallying for months against the deregulation of Indian agriculture clashed…

It has been almost an entire year of experiencing a new normal, and the world as we know it has changed. However, at MoCo Arts, the faculty, staff, board and families have done everything to make sure the arts and arts education continues to be provided in the Monadnock Region. This includes throughout the fall, when MoCo produced six online recorded theatre and young arts performances.When looking at the options of producing their bi-annual production of “The Nutcracker,” it was impossible to produce the show with a full cast due to guidelines and protocols put in place. MoCo includes every single student who wishes to perform, and unfortunately, a cast of over 170 students and adults was not possible. The arts organization instead decided to move up its annual production of “Time to Dance” with a filmed performance.This will be the 17th year performing this annual gem. But this year will be a little different from usual. Time to Dance features 14 energetic and unique pieces students have been working on (while socially distanced) since September, featuring original choreography from five MoCo Arts dance faculty members. This year’s show was pre-recorded at Redfern Arts Center at Keene State College and…

BENGALURU: Born Lady Eveyln Murray in 1867, Zainab Cobbold was the first Scottish noblewoman to convert to Islam in the Victorian era. She went on to become the first woman born in the UK to perform the Hajj, in 1933, when she contacted Hafiz Wahba — then ambassador for the Kingdom of Hejaz and Najd to the United Kingdom — who wrote to King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who granted permission for her to perform her pilgrimage. Cobbold died aged 96 and was buried on a hill in Scotland, facing Makkah, with words from the Qu’ran engraved on her tombstone. Cobbold’s remarkable story is just one of many that are available on The Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative, a platform that documents Muslim heritage in Britain through photographs, oral histories, films, artifacts, and heritage walks.
