Our age of the 24 hr News cycle comes at an obvious cost of a persistent memory, of the important disturbing stories of hate/intolerance that defy easy narratives. We read about them as disconnected outbursts as they inevitably recede into the fog of disbelief and the designed fictions of progress and development. One must thus resort to patiently trace/record the distribution and frequency of such stories to have any shot at really being able to observe the hate/intolerance machines at work.
The excellent folks at Justice Adda and Cambridge South Asia Watch have done exactly this by using the TIMESCAPE platform to collaboratively map and record these stories from South Asia on the Intolerance Tracker. http://www.intolerancetracker.com/

Mahatma Gandhi demonstrated to us as a species, another way - a morally just way to confront and overcome an oppressor.
In doing so, he impacted not merely a country and its people, but nations and communities across the world.
On the eve of Gandhi's 146th birth anniversary, this Timescape is to honor him and his partners who helped shape India's destiny and its place in the world.
We invite you to know his life, the people and places he touched along his journey.
