I saw how boys were allowed to take up space, while girls were taught to shrink, to smile and to stay small. So I used to think maybe if I were a boy, it would all make sense and maybe I would finally feel right.

Downtown #VictoriaBC will be filled with music, colour and tradition on April 11 as the Victoria #BengaliCulturalSociety hosts its first outdoor celebration of #PohelaBoishakh - the #Bengali #NewYear. The #FreeEvent, set for #CentennialSquare at noon, marks a milestone for the local Bengali community, bringing one of its most recognized #cultural traditions into the public square. For the first time in Victoria, organizers will stage the #MongolShobhajatra -a “parade of well-being” recognized by #UNESCO. The procession will feature large, handcrafted masks and vibrant artistic structures, accompanied by drumming and music symbolizing #peace and #unity.
The parade is expected to begin around 1 p.m. The celebration will also include live Bengali music and dance performances, a food fair showcasing #SouthAsian cuisine, and vendor stalls offering traditional clothing and handmade goods. Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the #diversity of #cultures on #VancouverIsland while offering residents a chance to engage with Bengali traditions.

People are talking a lot about the H-1B visa program. This talk is sadly leading to more unkindness and unfairness towards people from South Asia in the United States. We look at why this is happening and how it affects people.

⬆️ Institutional #racism in #US is not limited to #black people.
'That #SouthAsian Americans were able to successfully naturalize was an anomaly. Other #Asian immigrants had already been barred from naturalized #citizenship on the grounds that they were not #white as required by the nation’s naturalization laws dating back to 1790. It would not be until the #SupremeCourt ruled in the #Thind decision, on February 19, 1923, that South Asians were not considered "white”'

@anildash Such a sad day in history. I first learned about this from a PBS documentary years ago.
Thanks for sharing this link so I could learn more about this story, including what happened to Kala Bagai and her family.
