3. The "Exorcism" KeyMany Theyyam characters, like #Gulikan (the god of death/time) or Pottan Theyyam, are explicitly "wrathful" or "cleansing" deities. Their role is to absorb the community's suffering and cast out malevolent influences.The word "exorcise" isn't just a pun; it’s a functional description of what a Theyyam god is supposed to do for their village.

The Trance: It’s not "acting." The performers go through days of fasting and isolation. By the time they hit the courtyard at 3:00 AM, the rhythmic Chenda drumming and the heavy, 30kg+ headdress (the mudi) push them into a genuine altered state. They are believed to be "vessels" for the god's spirit. -

• It is a thousand-year-old mechanism for social justice and speaking truth to power. Using it to "exorcise" a modern figure of power is actually incredibly consistent with its history.2. The "Orange" Mechanics
The vibrant orange/red isn't just a stylistic choice.
The Paint: Traditionally made from turmeric (yellow) and lime (which turns it red/orange), it represents Shakti (primordial energy).

1. The "Status Inversion" (The Real Bite)
Theyyam is historically performed by people from marginalized (Dalit/lower caste) communities.• During the ritual, the performer undergoes a radical status reversal. They cease being a marginalized person and become a Deity (Daivam).
• At this moment, the most powerful people in the village—landowners, high-caste officials—must bow to them, ask for their advice, and even accept their rebukes.

The targeted attacks by pro-company people or hired goondas and the active connivance of the district administration with the company is coming down heavy on the movement. Even then, the adivasis and Dalits opposed to mining are fighting it out legally in the courts and through large mobilization on the ground.

"Bangladesh: Climate Crisis Magnifies Discrimination Against 'Invisible' Sanitation Workers
Bangladesh’s authorities must urgently address their failure to uphold the rights of sanitation workers, who face economic marginalization and entrenched gender- and caste-based discrimination, vulnerabilities that are only deepening amid a global climate crisis driven largely by fossil fuel combustion, Amnesty International said in a new report.
*Left Behind in the Storm: Dalit Women Sanitation Workers and the Fight for Water and Dignity*, documents the huge barriers faced by Dalit women sanitation workers in Khulna and Satkhira, on Bangladesh’s south-western coastal belt, in accessing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, as well as their vulnerability and exclusion in climate change relief programs. It also explores how these workers are largely invisible in government policies on climate change, water and sanitation due to their caste, gender and occupation, despite being among the most affected by these policies."

In Hebrew, the word and name Dalit (דלית) has several related meanings, commonly linked to:
• “drawn out” or “drawn from the water”
• “poor” or “needy” (from the root “dal”)
• “hanging branch” (from the word “daliyyah”)
• It is also associated with being fragile or delicate.Links between one Bronze Age endogenous ethnoculture to another.

I love this post by @rajbharatpatta
https://mastodon.social/@rajbharatpatta/114478389659985150
We've had a chat about it before I got him to try Mastodon. My life and #Theology have always been improved, helped, encouraged and by necessity challenged by listening to excluded and marginalised voices.
What Raj gets to here is good news for all people that only comes when we listen to voices from communities like the #Dalit

Hey everyone, please welcome a great friend and colleague @rajbharatpatta
I'm confident we will see some great #dalit #Political #Theology from Raj, which is partly why I'm trying to lure him away from the #Colonial #Powers of #Corporate #SocialMedia 😜😍 -

Caste crimes: Justice remains a mirage for Dalits as govt caught in self-induced slumber
As if to add salt to their wounds, the Dalits were driven to the wall by authorities who would rather prefer to "resolve" the issue "amicably" rather than take action against the perpetrators.

IIT Bombay Suicide: Did Authorities Fail to Act Even After Surveys Pointed to Rampant Casteism?
Although an internal probe panel linked the recent suicide of a Dalit student on the campus to academic performance, at least three surveys by SC-ST Student Cell pointed to a highly discriminative atmosphere on campus towards students from the Dalit and Adivasi communities.
