“As Hindutva grows…inextricable from Trumpism, how will liberal institutions and the Democratic Party respond? If their complacent patronage of the Sangh continues, the latter might continue to cannibalize liberal institutions even as they provide a convenient brown face for MAGA.”

The role of Hindutva in Trump’s return to power, and in the rise of other religious nationalisms for that matter, is virtually absent from mainstream media. That is because they have used anti-racism framing to protect themselves. Liberals are not prepared to respond and they need to be.

“By refusing to call figures like Patel what they are, the press is failing its duty to inform the public-and, frankly, it is enabling the further erosion of democratic norms.”

A year ago, on this day, the IDF targetted and killed Refaat Alareer.
A little later, I recorded this poem he wrote which the world knows now.
[In the recording, I say it was written on 14th October, 2023, but I later found that he had written it many years ago.]

Do watch this searingly stark docu on the Gujarat riots of 2002. Rakesh Sharma's footage and coverage are the best of all the work that has emerged on this catastrophic event. I was eye witness, but don't take my word for it. Watch it!

Waterloo, Ontario is home to a vicious, cruel, and abusive group of Hindutva. They are obedient, subservient servants to the white fascists that own & operate the entire city. The whites know that Hindutva will say nothing on racism, and in return are given free reign to enforce caste.
