Podcasts about Banerjee

In this episode of The Hem Onc Pulse, Dr. Rahul Banerjee is joined by Dr. Michelle Longmire, CEO and co-founder of Medable, for a compelling discussion on drug accessibility in cancer care. Together, they explore how decentralized clinical trials and digital tools can help bridge the gap between cutting-edge therapies and the patients who need them most. Dr. Longmire shares how Medable is expanding access to clinical research, particularly in rural and underserved communities, by reimagining how trials are conducted. The conversation also examines the systemic and financial challenges that often prevent patients from accessing approved cancer therapies—even after regulatory success. With an eye toward equity, Drs. Banerjee and Longmire unpack the barriers in traditional oncology care and highlight innovative, patient-centered approaches that promise a more inclusive future. Tune in for a thought-provoking look at the intersection of innovation, policy, and compassion in cancer treatment access.

This expert panel convened to discuss key presentations and abstracts of interest at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting featuring noteworthy developments in modalities like CAR T-cell therapy and transplantation across multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and other disease types.Banerjee is an assistant professor in the Clinical Research Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington. Al-Juhaishi is the associate director of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cell Therapy Program at Oklahoma University Health Stephenson Cancer Center and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Faisal is a hematologist/oncologist at Oklahoma University HealthStephenson Cancer Center and serves as an ambassador for ASCO.The group highlighted several late-breaking abstracts,plenary sessions, and poster presentations focused on significant clinical trial data and other findings across the hematologic oncology landscape. Topics of interest included the following:Phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 trial (NCT03548207,NCT05201781)1Long-term follow-up showed that approximately one-third(33%; n = 32) of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma maintained progression-free status for at least 5 years following a single infusion of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; Carvykti). An equal likelihood of progression-free survival occurred in patients with high-risk cytogenetics or extramedullary plasmacytomas.With a median follow-up of 61.3 months, the median overall survival (OS) with cilta-cel was 60.7 months (95% CI, 41.9-notevaluable [NE]). Real-world axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; Yescarta) use2Across inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, safety and efficacy outcomes were comparable for patients who received axi-cel for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.Multivariate analysis showed no associations between intended care setting and cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome.Investigators noted that these real-world data support the consideration of axi-cel in appropriate outpatient settings.Phase 1b/2 NEXICART-2 trial (NCT06097832)3Investigators assessed NXC-201, a sterically optimized CAR T construct, as a treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory light chain amyloidosis, a population with no FDA-approved options.Among 12 patients who received the agent at 450x 106 cells, 100% achieved rapid and deep hematologic responses at a median time to first and best response of 7 and 26 days, respectively. With a median follow-up of 121 days (range, 29-289), no hematologic relapses or progression had occurred.References1.     Voorhees P, Martin T, Lin Y, et al.

Visit https://agntcy.org/ and add your support.     What if AI agents needed digital passports to act on your behalf?   In this episode, Ankur Banerjee, Co-Founder and CTO of cheqd.io, reveals how decentralized identity is becoming the foundation of the AI agent economy.    From booking Taylor Swift tickets with an agent to proving you're a real person online, we explore why identity and trust are the hidden infrastructure shaping the future of AI.   Ankur explains how cheqd is building privacy-first tools that let AI agents verify who they are, what they can do, and who they're working for, all without handing over your data to big tech. We dig into the rise of digital credentials, the limits of biometrics, and how protocols like MCP are making the internet safe for autonomous agents.   If you've ever wondered how AI will operate on your behalf in the real world, this conversation offers a glimpse into what's coming next.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI     (00:00) Why AI Needs Identity (02:16) Ankur's Path to cheqd (05:39) Delegating Tasks to AI Agents (11:26) Identity Lessons from Governments (17:25) Trusting AI with Digital Credentials (23:42) The Problem with Biometrics (30:49) Web Standards for Agent Identity (36:46) MCP and Agent Interoperability (48:47) Bridging Web2 and Web3 Identity (55:18) Why Companies Should Care About Decentralized ID

In this episode of The HemOnc Pulse, Rahul Banerjee, MD of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is joined by Gurbakhash Kaur, MD of Mount Sinai for an in-depth discussion of the RedirecTT-1 trial, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The conversation explores the evolving role of bispecific antibodies in multiple myeloma, with a focus on the combination of talquetamab (Tal) and teclistamab (TEC). Drs. Banerjee and Kaur unpack the trial's rationale, design, and real-world implications for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. Tune in to hear expert perspectives on unmet needs in late-line myeloma care, emerging toxicity profiles, and the future of dual-targeted immunotherapy.

Stroke assessment tools like BEFAST are crucial for swiftly identifying symptoms and expediting treatment. However, language barriers can hinder prompt care for non-English speakers, particularly in the Hispanic community. Developed through a collaborative effort, AHORA adapts the traditional stroke assessment to be culturally and linguistically appropriate for the Spanish-speaking population. Designing Ahora The need for a specific tool became apparent when traditional tools like BEFAST were found to be ineffective for those who did not speak English. After discarding the complex "Rapido," Banerjee's team crafted Ahora, including Marcia Wilson, MD, and Remley Crowe, PhD. This tool was made to mirror BEFAST but is simplified for practical use within the Spanish-speaking population.

CancerNetwork®, in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT)®, hosted a Twitter/X Space during the 2025 Tandem Meetings. The live conversation featured Rahul Banerjee, MD, FACP, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and Shernan Holtan, MD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Together, they shared expert commentary on new data in CAR T-cell therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation.With insights drawn from posters, oral abstracts, and late-breaking presentations, the session unpacked both clinical takeaways and implications for patient care.Highlights included:LBA1 – Ide-cel + lenalidomide maintenance post-transplant in MM patients“This merges two worlds,” said Banerjee. “Not a tandem in the classic sense, but a transplant followed by CAR T.”[Garfall et al., Abstract LBA-1]Abstract 50 – Real-world CAR T use in early relapsed/refractory LBCLHoltan noted, “In this cohort, no statistical survival difference was seen between second- and third-line therapy, though the curves suggest a trend.”[Rojek et al., Abstract 50]Poster 340 – CAR T targeting CD83 in breast cancerBanerjee speculated on future innovations: “If we could deliver these locally, without systemic effects, that would be a game changer.”[Betts et al., Poster 340]Poster 317 – IEC-colitis in cilta-cel-treated patientsBanerjee reflected, “We assumed steroids would help, like with GVHD. But outcomes didn't align.”[Chang Lim et al., Poster 317]Poster 572 – Driving restrictions post-CAR TBanerjee advocated for updated policy: “Patients often can't regain full independence until driving is restored—this restriction lacks strong evidence.”[Banerjee et al., Poster 572]Presentation 58 – Physical function tests to predict ICANS and mortality“These simple tools helped flag patients unlikely to benefit from CAR T,” said Holtan. “This could refine patient selection.”[Herr et al., Presentation 58]Poster 618 – HCT outcomes for MDS patients by age groupHoltan expressed optimism: “We need conditioning regimens that are effective yet gentler—especially for older patients.”[Duarte et al., Poster 618]Presentation 39 – Immune suppression trends post-HCT (18,000+ patients)Looking ahead, Holtan predicted a shift in GVHD care: “In 10 years, steroids may no longer be our go-to.”[Pidala et al., Presentation 39]Poster 516 – Patient experiences with chronic GVHD via social media listeningHoltan emphasized the human element: “We must prioritize mental health, community support, and advocacy alongside clinical treatment.”[Cowden et al., Poster 516]The discussion emphasized not only the clinical relevance of each study but also broader themes—improving quality of life, adjusting standards of care based on real-world findings, and advancing innovation through thoughtful, patient-centered research.References:Garfall AL, et al.

Die nächste Regierung ist noch nicht im Amt, aber schon jetzt steht fest: Die Herausforderungen, vor denen sie steht, sind riesig. Noch nie stand die transatlantische Partnerschaft so unter Druck und noch nie hatte eine in Teilen rechtsextreme Partei eine solche Macht im Bundestag. Der ist mittlerweile neu zusammengekommen. Zuvor hatten Union und SPD mit den Stimmen der Grünen noch die Grundgesetzänderungen zur Reform der Schuldenbremse und dem Sondervermögen für Infrastruktur durch den alten Bundestag gebracht. Das gibt ihr finanziell nie dagewesenen Spielraum - aber nur bei Verteidigung und Infrastruktur. In anderen Bereichen klafft bei den Koalitionsverhandlungen noch ein weites Loch im Kernhaushalt.

CancerNetwork®, in collaboration with The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), organized an X Space hosted by Rahul Banerjee, MD, FACP, an assistant Professor in the Clinical Research Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington, and Shernan Holtan, MD, the chief of Blood and Marrow Transplantation and professor of Medicine at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.  The conversation took place during the 2025 Tandem Meeting and highlighted many significant presentations and posters on CAR T-cell therapies and transplantation, Banerjee's and Holtan's respective areas of expertise. The following trials were discussed: LBA1 - Phase II Multicenter Trial of Idecabtagene Vicleucel (Ide-cel) Followed By Lenalidomide Maintenance for Multiple Myeloma Patients with Sub-Optimal Response after an Upfront Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Top Line Results from the BMT CTN 1902 Clinical Trial1 “This [study] is nice because it merges 2 worlds. It's like a tandem—but not really a tandem—because you're not doing 2 transplants back-to-back. You're doing a transplant followed by CAR T-cell therapy,” said Banerjee. Abstract 50 - CAR T Cell Therapy in Early Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Real World Analysis from the Cell Therapy Consortium2 “In a relatively small cohort, [investigators] found no difference in 9-month survival whether someone got their [CAR T cells] in second-line therapy vs third-line therapy from a statistical perspective. If you look at the curves, it looks like there is a potential benefit to second-line therapy, but there was not enough statistical power to determine a difference,” said Holtan. Poster 340 - CD83 Expression By Human Breast Cancer Mediates Effective Killing By CAR T3 “If there's a way to do [the therapy] armored and have a paracrine delivered in real time—and not given to the whole body—[so] the patient [would] have all the adverse effects and cytokine release syndrome release on their own…that would be awesome,” stated Banerjee.  Poster 317 - Risk Factors for Immune Effector Cell-Associated Enterocolitis (IEC-colitis) in Patients with Relapsed Myeloma Treated with Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel (cilta-cel)4 “From the best that we can tell, ironically, corticosteroids aren't the fix that we want them to be [for immune effector cell-associated colitis]…We were like ‘Diarrhea, whatever. Let's give some steroids and treat it like gut graft-versus-host-disease,' but these patients [didn't] respond as well [to that],” said Banerjee. Poster 572 - Post-CAR-T Driving Restrictions Appear Unnecessary after Week 4: Data from the US Multiple Myeloma Immunotherapy Consortium5 “Patients and their caregivers [who have] put their life aside for 4 weeks just to get through CAR T-cell therapy and the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies requirements are now being told ‘You're free to go, but you can't drive for 4 weeks, which means you can't get your own groceries or…go to doctor's appointments by yourself.' Basically, we argue…that this [requirement] is not evidence-based,” stated Banerjee.  Presentation 58 - Physical Function Measures Identify Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients at High Risk of Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) and 1-Year Mortality after Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy6 “This [presentation] highlights that even within a high [CAR-HEMATOTOX group], those patients were at extraordinarily high risk of not benefitting from CAR T-cell therapy, and these tests are so simple to do. It's going to be interesting to see if others can reproduce this,” said Holtan. Poster 618 - Comparison of Outcomes after Hematopoietic STEM Cell Transplantation (HCT) for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Patients Older or Younger THAN 65 YEARS Old. a Retrospective Analysis of the Latin America Registry7 “My personal hope for this space is that our field can come up with more novel conditioning regimens such that we can ablate the marrow without causing those gastrointestinal toxicities or other organ toxicities [while] doing that so effectively that we don't even need maintenance therapies for a lot of conditions,” stated Holtan. Presentation 39 - Determinants of Immune Suppression Discontinuation in the Modern Era: A CIBMTR Analysis of 18,642 Subjects8 “I'm going to make a provocative prediction for the next paper [approximately 10 years from now]. I predict that steroids won't be the first-line therapy for acute or chronic graft-versus-host-disease,” Holtan said. Poster 516 - Patient Experiences with Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease and Its Treatment in the United States: A Retrospective Social Media Listening Study9 “We can still work together to make life as good as we possibly can [for patients], to improve physical function, to take away some of this mental distress, and then work together for advocacy too. [We can] help with peer support, help with resources, and help relieve some of that misunderstanding in the community,” stated Holtan. References 1.        Garfall AL, Pasquini MC, Bai L, et al.

Using Artificial Intelligence to Analyze and Activate a Better CX  Shep Hyken interviews Sid Banerjee, Chief Strategy Officer at Medallia, an experience management platform organizations use to provide excellent customer and employee experience. He talks about how modern businesses can capture, analyze, and act on customer feedback using AI-powered tools that turn customer insights into meaningful improvements.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can companies utilize new technologies like generative AI to improve customer satisfaction?  How can companies use digital and conversational signals to understand customer feedback better?  What role does AI play in analyzing customer data and providing actionable insights?  How can companies effectively activate their customer data to make informed business improvements?  How does AI's cost-effectiveness influence its use in customer experience?  Top Takeaways:    Customer experience data is essential for companies to improve their products and services. By collecting feedback from various sources like surveys, chat, online reviews, social media, and customer interactions, companies can identify what makes customers happy and what they can improve.    While surveys are still important, the advent of social media and other digital platforms provides customers with new ways to provide feedback. Meeting the customers on their chosen platforms helps them gather more data and better understand what customers experience and expect.    AI can analyze data in massive amounts and detect patterns, trends, and opportunities for improvement that might be missed by humans. Using AI is not just about having the latest technology, it is about empowering employees to provide better, quicker, and more personalized service.    Data should be easily accessible, not stuck in department silos. A CX platform brings it all together, organizing and turning it into actionable insights.    Many companies get stuck collecting and analyzing data without taking action and implementing improvements that benefit customers. Activation is critical because it turns data and information into meaningful actions that improve customer experience.     Technology will not replace human interactions, but it will enhance them. Tools like AI will provide frontline employees with real-time access to information and insights that will empower them to help customers more efficiently.    Plus, Shep and Sid discuss what companies and customers can look forward to in the future when transforming CX and businesses with AI. Tune in!   Quote:   "Technology that previously cost hundreds of thousands is now accessible at a fraction of the cost. When you layer new innovative technology, like AI and automation, into the data that customers have given you, you can turbocharge your ability to transform customer experiences."      About:    Sid Banerjee is the Chief Strategy Officer at Medallia. Before his career at Medallia, he was the founder of Clarabridge and served as the Chief XM Strategy Officer at Qualtrics.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 18th of February and here are the headlines.The Supreme Court granted podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia interim protection from arrest over alleged objectionable comments on his YouTube show, "India's Got Latent." Despite this, the court condemned his language, describing it as perverse and shameful. Justice Surya Kant criticized Allahbadia's choice of words, saying they would embarrass parents, brothers, sisters, and society at large. He expressed disgust, asking what other standard of obscenity would apply in this country. Allahbadia's lawyer was reprimanded for defending the program's language, while the court made strong remarks on the perverted content.Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, criticized the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government over the handling of the Maha Kumbh, calling it a "Mrityu Kumbh" (Death Kumbh). She claimed that bodies had been hidden to reduce the death toll and pointed out the lack of proper arrangements for the poor at the event. Banerjee emphasized the need for better planning, stating that while VIPs had tents worth Rs 1 lakh, the poor were left unassisted. She called for measures to prevent stampedes and ensure safety at such religious gatherings.The Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University in Odisha has faced criticism after a 20-year-old engineering student from Nepal died by suicide. The university terminated two security staff members and suspended two hostel officials and an administrative officer. The student had earlier complained about mistreatment from a batchmate, a 21-year-old from Lucknow, who has been arrested. The situation escalated with protests against the university's handling of the incident and allegations of racial behavior. Over 500 Nepali students were initially evicted but were reinstated after intervention from the Nepal embassy.President Droupadi Murmu has authorized the prosecution of AAP leader and former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a money-laundering case investigated by the Enforcement Directorate. The sanction was requested by the Ministry of Home Affairs, citing adequate evidence. Jain, 60, will face prosecution under Section 218 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which deals with the prosecution of public servants for crimes committed during official duties. The move follows a thorough investigation by the Enforcement Directorate regarding allegations of corruption and financial misconduct.Following extensive talks in Saudi Arabia, the United States and Russia have agreed on four principles to restore diplomatic relations. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that both countries aim to reestablish functional missions in Washington and Moscow. A high-level team will be appointed to help negotiate a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. The discussions will also explore potential geopolitical and economic cooperation once the conflict ends. Rubio emphasized that ongoing engagement would continue to ensure progress on these issues, with both sides committed to a productive resolution.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

This conversation explores the complex interplay of religion and politics in modern India, focusing on the historical context of Christianity and its evolution from colonial times to the present. The discussion highlights the secular ideals enshrined in the Indian constitution, the impact of British rule on religious identities, and the contemporary dynamics of Christianity in a predominantly Hindu society. The conversation also addresses the challenges faced by religious minorities and the ongoing tensions in India's religious landscape. We explore the complex interplay of religion, identity, and nationalism in India, focusing on the experiences of Hindu and Christian communities. It delves into the historical context of religious conversion, the implications of disinheritance, and the cultural differences in religious practices between India and the United States. The discussion highlights the life of Brahmabandhav Upadhyay, a figure who navigated multiple religious identities amidst the backdrop of Hindu nationalism.Our host for this episode is Dan Hummel, Director of the Lumen Center for the SL Brown Foundation. Our guest is Moe Banerjee, an assistant professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Moe is a historian of modern South Asia, specializing particularly in the modern period. Her research interests include religion and politics in India, especially the evolution of the concepts of private faith and political identity in the public sphere. Her first book, which we're discussing today, is called The Disinherited Christianity and Conversion in Colonial India, 1813 to 1907, from Harvard University Press. During this episode, we discuss the long history of religion in India, the Christian missionaries that came in the modern period to reshape Indian religion and the religious landscape, the lesser-known story of Christian converts in India, and what those converts say about India today.

From being a fringe political party in 2013 to sweeping nearly half of the state s forty-two Lok Sabha seats in 2019, the BJP has gained ground in West Bengal, aided partly by the RSS s exponential growth during Mamata Banerjee's chief ministerial tenure (2011 onwards). With a consistent and concerted criticism of the TMC, the saffron camp managed to create a strong wave of anti-incumbency. So much so that the BJP s prospects of forming the next government in Bengal in 2021 seemed to have brightened considerably, while the Left, which had ruled Bengal for over three decades, appears to have been reduced to a fringe political entity. However, the controversy over the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens, combined with Banerjee s course-correction drive, designed by strategist Prashant Kishor, indicate that she might yet script a turnaround, with Bengal turning into the laboratory of a unique political experiment.  Mission Bengal: A Saffron Experiment (HarperCollins India, 2020) documents the BJP s extraordinary rise in the state and attempts to look at these developments in the historical context of Bengal from the rise of Hindu nationalism and Muslim separatism in the nineteenth century, the Partition and its fallout, the impact of developments in Bangladesh, the influence of leftist ideals on the psyche of the Bengali people, to the demographic changes in the state over the past few decades. About the Author:  Snigdhendu Bhattacharya is a Kolkata-based journalist who has reported for different national media houses including the Hindustan Times, The Wire and Outlook. He has been writing on politics, security, history, socio-economic and cultural affairs since 2005.

Cultivating Democracy: Politics and Citizenship in Agrarian India (Oxford UP, 2021) by Dr. Mukulika Banerjee offers a groundbreaking rethinking of democracy, moving beyond its institutional frameworks to focus on its lived, everyday dimensions. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the villages of Madanpur and Chishti in India, the book examines how agrarian communities cultivate democratic values—solidarity, reciprocity, and ethical citizenship—through practices embedded in their daily lives. Dr. Banerjee challenges conventional notions of democracy as confined to elections and state institutions, instead presenting it as a process deeply rooted in cultural-social practices and values. She highlights how rural communities, through cooperation in agriculture, rituals, festivals, and even moments of conflict and repair, create and sustain the democratic spirit. In doing so, the book underscores the resilience of these practices, even as procedural democracy faces erosion under broader political and economic pressures. At its core, Cultivating Democracy compels us to reimagine democracy not as an abstract ideal but as a lived and ongoing project shaped by the rhythms of everyday life. Through its rich ethnographic detail and theoretical insight, the book offers profound lessons on the fragility and strength of democracy, making it both a deeply scholarly and urgently relevant work. Rounak Bose is a doctoral student in History at the University of Delaware. His research explores the intersections of caste, religiosities, performances, sacred geographies, and the state, as informing/informed by colonial and postcolonial mobilities and circulatory regimes across South Asia and Indian Ocean networks. Besides these specific research interests, his disciplinary interests revolve across anthropology, linguistics, literature, and the digital humanities. When not reading or writing in the university library, Rounak can be found running along Newark's trails and petting the canines he meets along the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the villages of Madanpur and Chishti in India, the book examines how agrarian communities cultivate democratic values—solidarity, reciprocity, and ethical citizenship—through practices embedded in their daily lives. Dr. Banerjee challenges conventional notions of democracy as confined to elections and state institutions, instead presenting it as a process deeply rooted in cultural-social practices and values. She highlights how rural communities, through cooperation in agriculture, rituals, festivals, and even moments of conflict and repair, create and sustain the democratic spirit. In doing so, the book underscores the resilience of these practices, even as procedural democracy faces erosion under broader political and economic pressures. At its core, Cultivating Democracy compels us to reimagine democracy not as an abstract ideal but as a lived and ongoing project shaped by the rhythms of everyday life. Through its rich ethnographic detail and theoretical insight, the book offers profound lessons on the fragility and strength of democracy, making it both a deeply scholarly and urgently relevant work. Rounak Bose is a doctoral student in History at the University of Delaware. His research explores the intersections of caste, religiosities, performances, sacred geographies, and the state, as informing/informed by colonial and postcolonial mobilities and circulatory regimes across South Asia and Indian Ocean networks. Besides these specific research interests, his disciplinary interests revolve across anthropology, linguistics, literature, and the digital humanities. When not reading or writing in the university library, Rounak can be found running along Newark's trails and petting the canines he meets along the way. Learn more about your ad choices.

An illuminating history of religious and political controversy in nineteenth-century Bengal, where Protestant missionary activity spurred a Christian conversion “panic” that indelibly shaped the trajectory of Hindu and Muslim politics. In 1813, the British Crown adopted a policy officially permitting Protestant missionaries to evangelize among the empire's Indian subjects. The ramifications proved enormous and long-lasting. While the number of conversions was small—Christian converts never represented more than 1.5 percent of India's population during the nineteenth century—Bengal's majority faith communities responded in ways that sharply politicized religious identity, leading to the permanent ejection of religious minorities from Indian ideals of nationhood. Mou Banerjee details what happened as Hindus and Muslims grew increasingly suspicious of converts, missionaries, and evangelically minded British authorities. Fearing that converts would subvert resistance to British imperialism, Hindu and Muslim critics used their influence to define the new Christians as a threatening “other” outside the bounds of authentic Indian selfhood. The meaning of conversion was passionately debated in the burgeoning sphere of print media, and individual converts were accused of betrayal and ostracized by their neighbors. Yet, Banerjee argues, the effects of the panic extended far beyond the lives of those who suffered directly. As Christian converts were erased from the Indian political community, that community itself was reconfigured as one consecrated in faith. While India's emerging nationalist narratives would have been impossible in the absence of secular Enlightenment thought, the evolution of cohesive communal identity was also deeply entwined with suspicion toward religious minorities. Recovering the perspectives of Indian Christian converts as well as their detractors, The Disinherited: The Politics of Christian Conversion in Colonial India (Harvard UP, 2025) is an eloquent account of religious marginalization that helps to explain the shape of Indian nationalist politics in today's era of Hindu majoritarianism. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm ichha Sharma.Today is the 28th of November and here are the headlines.The Lok Sabha passed a resolution today to extend the tenure of the Joint Committee on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill till the last day of the Budget session next year. Jagdambika Pal, Chairman of the Joint Committee, moved a motion stating, “That this House do extend time for the presentation of the Report of the Joint Committee on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, up to the last day of the Budget Session, 2025.” The Lok Sabha approved the motion with a voice vote. The Centre had referred the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, tabled on 8th of August, to the Committee to scrutinise the Bill following the Opposition's objections. The panel's tenure was set to conclude on November 29. The CBI in an operation with the NIA and Interpol has brought from Rwanda a member of Pakistan-based terror group Lash-kar-e-Taiba who had an Interpol Red Notice against him for a terror offence in Bengaluru today. The officials said, Salman Rehman Khan, an alleged member of the internationally proscribed terrorist organisation, had assisted in providing arms, ammunition and explosives to further terrorist activities in Bengaluru. A CBI spokesperson said in a statement quote “The Global Operations CBI has closely coordinated with the NIA and Interpol National Central Bureau – Key gali for the return to India from Rwanda of Salman Rehman Khan, wanted by the NIA for terror-related offences,” unquote.West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today condemned the arrest of Hindu ISKCON monk Chinmay Krishna Das in Bangladesh, saying that she will support whatever decision the Centre takes on the issue. Banerjee said, quote “Attacks on any religion are condemnable, we always condemn that. I talked to the ISKCON head of this state twice after the incident. But it is an international matter. We can't interfere with the Centre's decision… but we can condemn this attack,” unquote. The West Bengal BJP also started demonstrations against the arrest, with party MLAs marching to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission office and meeting officials. The state unit also announced that they will block all the Indo-Bangla borders in West Bengal next Monday.The ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon based Hezbollah militant group has come into effect and thousands of people from war-torn southern Lebanon have started to return to their homes as fear looms on both sides whether the ceasefire will hold. Israel continued its barrage of attacks on Beirut and in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 42 people until a ceasefire came into effect at 4am on Wednesday. Displaced people of Lebanon were seen driving stacked cars with personal belongings and returning to the southern part of the country, despite warnings from the Israeli army that they should stay away from the area until the Israeli forces remain over there. After the Maha Vikas Aghadi's dismal performance in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Shiv Sena (UBT) in Pune is likely to insist that the party contest the long-delayed civic polls alone. The city units of the Congress and the NCP, however, are keen on continuing the alliance. Elections to the Pune Municipal Corporation were last held in 2017. With the new government set to be sworn in soon, the long-delayed civic elections are likely to be held in the next few months. Though the MVA enjoyed success in the Lok Sabha elections by winning 31 of the 48 seats in the state, it only won 46 seats in the Assembly elections. Despite the poor performance, however, Prashant Jagtap, Pune NCP chief, said that he believed the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena (UBT) should contest the PMC elections as MVA.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
