• ’Prey: Immigration, Islam and the Erosion of Women’s Rights’, by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
  15 April 2021, by siawi3

  A very critical review of Hirsi Ali’s latest book: “Sexism is not in someone’s DNA because of a lottery of birth. The common denominator of the sexual violence pandemic is not men from Muslim-majority countries but men who commit sexual violence and the states that fail, again and again, to hold them to account.”

• India: The Necessity of Addressing Caste Discrimination and Atrocities as Collective Trauma
  5 April 2022, by siawi3

  Discrimination based on caste and analogous systems is a global phenomenon, affecting more than 250 million people worldwide. This serious human rights violation infringes upon the basic principles of universal human dignity and equality, as it differentiates between ‘inferior’ and ‘superior’ categories of individuals because of their inherited caste status.

  16 May 2022, by siawi3

  Communal violence is not a recent phenomenon in Indian Society. It has been a part of Indian history since ancient times. But it has gained new momentum in contemporary India.

• India: Health Communalism - Can a doctor tell if the Coronavirus has a religion?
  17 April 2020, by siawi3

  Ahmedabad Civil Hospital is accused of splitting COVID19 wards on faith, calls it govt decision. It was said this had been done for ‘the comfort of both communities’.”What is this “comfort”? Did Hindu patients complain against being put in the same ward as Muslim patients? Or did the hospital administration decide to take this massive step on their own, or as they say on orders from the ‘government’?

• The Contradictions of Afro-Arab Solidarity(ies): The Aswan High Dam and the Erasure of the Global Black Experience
  18 October 2021, by siawi3

  Left unprocessed, the afterlives of slavery, colonialism (experienced and performed), and systemic racism seeped into the foundations of the modern Egyptian state. If we are able to hold on to the fact that multiple, competing, and sometimes contradictory axes of power can exist in a single space and understand that the identities of oppressed and oppressor are never fixed and always historically contingent, we can see more fully how the displacement of Nubian communities was able to take place amid the articulation of Afro-Arab solidarities and present more clearly the multi-layered nature of violence in a space as dynamic as the Afro-Arab world. In propagating the notion of an emaciated subaltern universalism, we silence the complexities present in the lived experience of Afro-Arabness and Africanity in the Arabic-speaking world.

• Bangladesh Violence: Indian Subcontinent Is a Hard Place for Minorities
  8 November 2021, by siawi3

  The rising tide of religious intolerance in the Indian subcontinent breached the constitutional wall of secularism yet again. Last week, it was the turn of the minority Hindu population of Bangladesh to be trapped in the swirling waters of hatred in around 22 districts, even as they were celebrating Durga Puja. Temples were desecrated, vandalised or destroyed, shops and homes of Hindus were burnt down, leading to the death of five. Four days later, marauding Muslim mobs attacked the Hindus all over again.

• Algerian Jews Have Not Forgotten France’s Colonial Crimes
  16 April 2021, by siawi3

  Your report exemplifies what I propose to call the fourth exile of Algerian Jews: their erasure from the history of the colonization of Algeria. In 160 pages your report gives only two paragraphs about a formerly existing Jewish community in Algeria. In reality, there was not one community but multiple and diverse Berber-Jewish Arab-Jewish communities. Only through the colonial crime against humanity were they forced to become one, as a prelude to its disappearance.

• India: A Christian bishop, Islamophobia and the Left in Kerala
  30 September 2021, by siawi3

  As the colour of the political landscape of India is overwhelmingly saffron, the CPIM under Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan in Kerala finds it pretty suitable to satisfy the soft Hindutva leanings of its Hindu votebank by supporting Islamophobia expressed by the Church.
