• India: Silence on Human Rights abuses in conflict zones
  26 November 2017, by siawi3

  Those who advocate for human rights in conflict zones have always been targeted as ‘bleeding heart jholawallahs’. Now, a new word has been added to the divisive lexicon: ‘anti-national’.

They are adept at what a scholar describes as a deliberate process of ‘mythologising the (great) wo/men and marginalising their meanings.’

  7 November 2018, by siawi3

  The French republican tradition views citizenship from a universalist perspective, without regard for ethnicity or culture. German nationalism draws upon Romantic ideas of the volk, rooted in a specific history, culture and race.
