  1. This #land is a #colony treated like a colony and acted upon like a colony; unless the #colonial mindset changes, nothing will #change. It will further deepen the #exploitation, hatred and #marginalisation.

  2. I will just leave this qoute here, for ‘no reason’ at all: ‘The Advocate General is of the view that #LGBTI persons deserving #equal respect in Member States is not open to contestation through dialogue. #Disrespect and #marginalisation of a group in a society are the ‘red lines’ imposed by the values of equality, human dignity and respect for human rights. Therefore, she considers that, by calling into question the equality of LGBTI persons, #Hungary is not demonstrating a disagreement’ (1/2)

  3. You can be both privileged and marginalized at the same time. That's because, you can be privileged in one aspect of your life and marginalized in another.

  6. Urban Marginalisation in Kashmir: The Vulnerabilities of 'Watals' in Sheikh Colonies of Srinagar

    Socio-economic challenges, limited access to basic amenities, and a sense of exclusion from mainstream society characterise the daily life experiences of inhabitants of Sheikh colonies. Lack of private space, congested houses, and unhygienic conditions underscore the pervasive nature of urban marginalisation within the colonies.

Jindal Global University, working in Kashmir for a manuscript project focusing on new subaltern voices of communities from the Valley.

  7. A Modi Win Will Only Mean More Trouble for Indian Muslims

    If the BJP is able to secure a huge majority in the parliament, Hindu majoritarianism will remain unchecked. The hostility towards the minorities could escalate even more, and opposition parties may bear the brunt of state agencies and crackdowns if they ask questions.

  12. ‘Pop feminism’ is the subject of Lily Alexandre’s latest video: youtube.com/watch?v=bmnsK74khN

    Not only does she expose the movement for the feminism-lite, protect-the-status-quo flash in the pan that it was

    She also draws attention to the futility of situating the means of political change in awareness-raising and small personal actions

    This applies as much to systemic gender-based oppression as it does to oppression of other groups, and even to issues like climate change

  17. @evan I’m ‘somewhat unsatisfied’ with the state of the fediverse

    I can’t be satisfied when:

    • the fediverse fails to attract huge swathes of people (not necessarily a problem with the fediverse per se)

    • we miss out on things like academic discussions (and other good forms of ‘engagement’), which still happen in other, mostly awful places

    • marginalised people, especially people of colour, find it uncomfortable to be here (despite potentially excellent human-scale moderation)

    • almost everyone seems to be a (white) computer geek – hardly reflective of the wider population

    • it can be hard if not impossible to find your community here

    • the dominance of Mastodon™ masks the potential of the fediverse to host (non-micro) blog posts, photographs, music, videos, scrapbooks, you name it

    • Mastodon gGmbH effectively dictates how microblogging happens in the fediverse by controlling the software most instances run

    • Mastodon gGmbH also operates two of the largest instances, mastodon.social and mastodon.online (both of them, imo, a couple of orders of magnitude too big to form a reasonable ‘home’ community or to be moderated effectively)

    I’ll leave it there for now. It’s nice here, but it could be so much better

  18. The Shattering of the Muslim Hope in India

    "I see and remember the face of Faizan’s mother. I see and remember the horror and the plea for mercy in the eyes of Qutbuddin Ansari from 2002; the tears in the eyes of the lady in Karnataka, who was forced to take off her burqa to enter the school where she had been teaching for years; the faces of the Muslims who have spent their entire youth in prison because of wrongful incarceration; and the pain in the eyes of fellow Muslims, every time I see them raise their hands in supplication." Salik Ahmad writes. (Article from March 2022)
