On this day, 18 March 1974, students assembled near the Bihar state parliament in India in order to prevent a meeting. The police attacked and killed five protesters, who then responded by rioting. Government and press buildings were set on fire, as was the residence of the former education minister Ramanand Singh, and posh hotels, railway wagons and warehouses were looted. This is a great account of the wave of struggles at the time: https://ift.tt/1ObKJpIhttps://ift.tt/2CkKQPZ
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
— Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist (via philosophybits)
“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures.” – Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
