Indians have been brainwashed into hating protests against authority so much that, not content with calling protestors here anti-national and traitors, we are now supporting brutal repression of protests anywhere in the world. Truly a sick, morally dead society.
Western countries promoted gender-selective abortion in India with the goal of reducing India's population. Basically, the aim was to reduce the non-white population around the world.
Looks like Sanghis will spend their "big day" hurling filthy abuses at left-libs and harassing Muslims on soc media. Such a nice way of "worshipping". Eternally insecure lot who can't tolerate the slightest dissent, despite having all arms of the state and media working for them.
I was a college student during the Nirbhaya protests. We, the urban educated youth, never imagined that protests against a ruling govt wld one day be vilified. Sadly, many young ppl today act as mouthpieces of the govt, defending each decision, attacking protestors, activists +
Big RW "intellectual". Doesn't even know that in many IITs, like IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur, the Humanities Depts r as old as the institutions themselves. HSS depts in IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras hv been there from the 1960s. Proving why the term "RW intellectual" is an oxymoron.
20-25 year olds seething over a prof getting a big grant for research on Dalit issues?! If young ppl r this bigoted and ignorant we are doomed ya. MacArthur grant btw is awarded in all fields: STEM, HSS, Arts. It has prev been awarded to even those who work on racism in US.
Apparently, women are murdered only when:
a) They "defy" their parents in choosing their partner
b) They love someone from a particular community
Never mind women killed in 100% parent-arranged marriages where the man is from the same community and caste.

,since I was active in IIT Kgp,I know that Leftist organisations were even more active on campus after d enhanced push that was given to humanities from 2004.That's precisely Y ppl like me had to get more vocal to resist the malicious stupidity of your ilk.
Indians live in polluted cities with unaffordable housing, travel like cattle to their workplace, lack access to basic resources like water, but will pretend, for ideological reasons, that some cities have first-world living conditions. All of us live in the same way, thanks.
@mrs__hazel
Patriarchal policing of women's bodies and reproductive abilities. So "Our women leaving our tribe" to go to "their men" is seen as a loss, whereas "our men bringing their women" to "our tribe" is a win.
No matter how many times scholars debunk them, these shameless distorians and their equally shameless followers won't stop vilifying reformers because they want to feel proud about the past. Plus they see history in binaries and have ZERO understanding of context.
Scene frm Satyajit Ray's "Hirak Rajar Deshe (1980). The tyrant king's courtiers shut down a school to prevent independent thinking. Before tht, they force the teacher n students to repeat some lines: "Those who study die of starvation", "Let us all praise the intelligent King" 🙂
Periodic reminder that Assamese xenophobes want an NRC minus CAA because they want to throw all Bengalis out regardless of religion. (The RWs in QTs and replies tho 😭. They have no idea about the issue so they think that these are Muslims protesting)
A card-carrying communist posted it, almost all left-liberals have condemned it. Meanwhile Aroor hasn't said a word on the recent lynchings of Muslims, including the one in Gujarat. They think everyone is like them who condemn mob justice based on which state it is happening.
Wish the Bengali community were as united when the Bangladeshi label is thrown at us. But no, we are happy to throw our migrant workers under the bus to prove our nationalism and religiosity to a bunch who insults and does propaganda against us daily.

And most of them are not even on govt payroll. Yet nothing penetrates their mind except the urge to defend BJP and Hindutva. An entire generation lost to radicalization. Even if pol power changes, it will take a long time to undo the damage on our social and educational fabric.
Privileged desis escape to relatively liberal countries and yet continue to support conservative/problematic politics back home because they know they will never have to suffer from the consequences.
Last tweet on BD unless something new happens: It's unfortunate that many Bangladeshi liberals, even academics, seem more focused on critiquing Hindutva than with offering systematic critiques of the Islamism in BD. I am nt the first or only person to observe this. When attacks +
When your entire personality is about mocking feminism in one of the most misogynistic countries of the world, it's a little difficult to believe you gave objective "medical" advice. The state of some male doctors in this country smh
Told a Non-Medico girl that a women should not delay pregnancy post 32 of age due to increased medical complications and she wrote a whole paragraph today on Facebook that why man are “misogynistic” to put their opinion on women 🤦🏻.
Durga Pujo is an industry which sustains a lot of artisans, traders, craftsmen, labourers etc. So unless these groups themselves decide to boycott Pujo, it's not for the privileged to decide whether Pujo should be conducted or not.

The comments are supporting the father. Appalling. But I gathered from those comments that it's either a) Cutting off beard and moustache= losing masculinity or b) One should not clean shave while parents are alive. Either way horrible reasoning and horrible behaviour.
Dear Odias, you can showcase your state's beautiful culture without dragging Bengal, unless the idea is to get brownie points from Sanghis. In the latter case, you are merely showing your insecurity and jealousy since there are hundreds of traditional idols in Bengal as well.

don't play victim now that you are being responded to in the very same language you employed. Coming to my tweet, true I used the word introduced. In hindsight, I shuda used entrenched and mainstreamed. I shud know because I am a product of one such program.
You clearly said Humanities were "introduced" in IITs post 2004. Please point out where you said that you were talking about particular courses. You should also know that HSS depts were also giving out PhDs pre-2004. That is not "introduction"?

's take on Hijab. There's a difference between lecturing/imposing liberation on a group and academic commentary. If knowledge and critique were to be bounded by religious and other identities, then we might as well shut academia down.
Muslim women will find their liberation, whether in academia or otherwise. I don't think we need to be lectured by upper-caste Hindu women, with their immense privilege, to tell us about our faith, identity and liberation. 🙏🙏🙏
"A prostitute should be an object of compassion not hate... She hasn't looted, hasn't killed anyone...many of them might have entered prostitution due to the vile actions of men...it is those men who should be seen with contempt, not the prostitutes"
This is an 1895 article 👏
Indian RWs are atleast partly responsible for the current negative PR of India through their continuous misinformation campaigns and support of genocide. They support every kind of excess and turn every global tragedy into a source for their sickening anti-Muslim tirades.
Non-Bengali leftists are now calling Bengali liberals soft Sanghi while RTing Islami Chatro Shibir/Jamaat accs, one of whom once compared Hindus to dogs. Dude, we keep track of events in BD in peacetime as well, not just when it's in turmoil and getting international attention.
Those of us in IITB are not surprised that Sudhir Chaudhary was invited. This campus is a RW cesspool. Recently a faculty member received death threats from RW groups which are active on campus. Imagine being a student and threatening professors. That's how emboldened they are.
Sexual jealousy and fantasy about Bengali women. Explains why Biharis, despite being actually targeted in MH, NE, Rajasthan, Kashmir etc, themselves hate the ethnicity that is least xenophobic towards them (lol, TMC these days goes out of its way to appease 'em)
Durga for Bengalis is a daughter visiting Her parents' house from Her husband's place with Her 4 children, Karthik, Ganesh, Lakshmi, Saraswati. We celebrate Her return in a grand manner and become sad when She goes back. Jealous ppl will never understand
#DurgaPujaIsNotNavratri
Please, go ahead. But since you want to challenge Humanities research, where particularities of language matter a lot because each word has a specific connotation, I would advise you that from next time onwards, do not use "introduced" when you mean "entrenched."

@Jayati_M93
, the Left will not have it easy as before anymore. You will be responded to in a language you understand, both electorally and intellectually, on campuses across Bharat. Your hubris will lead to your downfall in this generation. Now please continue whining.
The root of violent crimes against women in India- rape, female foeticide, domestic abuse etc- lies in this visceral hatred towards women that emanate from men, their enablers, and patriarchal structures (family, religion, society etc). Social media simply reflects that.
BIG BREAKING 🇮🇳: Some people in Delhi are beating & driving out illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators in the middle of the night!
Disturbed by the atrocities being committed against women & Hindus in Bangladesh, they took this step, saying that if the govt doesn't expel these
What's the connection between marriage and being in politics? There are no married female political leaders? Is the idea that her husband would have controlled her and would not have allowed her in politics? Trying to understand what the great joke is
Certain Kolkata "feminists" love dissing rural women for being beneficiaries of TMC's social welfare schemes. Well, even if they are, how do you know they are now not as outraged as you? If your fav party provides them a better alternative, they will vote for that party instead.
It's a truly rotten society where people jump with glee n think a woman deserved to die horribly for making a choice. They know very well tht there are 100s of rape/DV/ murder cases where the perpetrators were non-Muslims. Yet they make women's bodies sites for their pol battles.
Every time I see cretins like these, I feel scared for Bengalis who work as migrant workers. These ppl see Rohingyas or Bangladeshis in every Bengali, esp Muslim. These bigots are only going to get more empowered in the coming years, and they are young. Finished country
If we compiled the amount of anti-Bengali hate tweets by random accounts here it would make a whole book. But here's an "army veteran," very consistent in displaying his hatred of an ethnic community. He's so bad even Kanchan Gupta once called him a "hateful vile bigot"
@DipshikhaGhosh
Also men whine about marriage all the time. There are n number of jokes which depict married men as incarcerated victims of their wife's will. When in reality it's the woman who has to leave her family and old life for a completely new one. One reel showing that and they lose it.
Hinduphobia should refer to prejudiced discourses against Hindus which result in discrimination and/or violent acts against them. Criticism of BJP and its politics isn't Hinduphobia, academic critiques of Hinduism, including critiques of caste, isn't Hinduphobia. Hope this helps.
@sibinmohan
You're an academic, you should be engaging with other academics with scholarly critique. Instead you've resorted to online trolling of students lol.
This account has been using the horrific incident to milk engagement. What's this nonsense about profs doing black magic?! This is becoming the SSR case all over again. People start off with talking about real issues then it descends to sensationalism and conspiracy theories.
Criticism of Rammohan Roy or any other colonial-era intellectual is not an issue. A lot of nuanced criticism exists. My prob is that ideological distorians always think of history in binaries. A person was either X or Y. They look at history to outrage, not evaluate. +
Anti-women, anti-Bengali, anti-Muslim. I resent Spivak for not dealing with a troll in a less elitist manner. Ended up giving a victimhood platform to an idiot. If you weren't a Dalit, you would have been casteist as hell too. You speak against caste only because it affects you.
Protest is a tool for those who don't have power. Those in power are supposed to ensure that institutions function properly. What is this stupid gimmick by a CM?
Mamata Banerjee herself on 16th August will do rally protesting this rape . She will rally with demands that CBI should solve case by Sunday and initiate Capitol Punishment.

The oppression fantasies of Indian men (and their female enablers) are amazing. Would outsiders believe that they live in a society functioning on women's unpaid labor, in addition to rampant sexual and physical abuse, dowry deaths, female foeticide, witch huntings, etc etc?
All the misogynistic taunts that Anushka endured. People blamed her for Kohli's failure. Well, then we should give credit to her for Kohli's success also. She supported Kohli through a difficult time.

Bargabhima Temple, Medinipur. It's a Shaktipeeth. The special fish that is offered to the Deity is শোল. But, in bhog, it is given only to those devotees who had offered that fish to the Goddess. Rest r given a different fish. Apparently, Netaji visited it on 11th April, 1938.
When parents abuse for little things, kids learn to lie and hide. When parents provide safe spaces, kids learn to trust them and don't hesitate to approach them in case of any prob in later life. I have been saved from a lot of trouble in life 'coz I can tell my mother anything.
When Hindu libs try to do the critique it's seen as proceeding from identity-bias, with even accusations of being soft Hindutva. So ultimately there's a significant absence of any systematic recognition that anti-Hindu hatred operates within a framework of its own.
"Right wing feminist" is an oxymoron. Most of them don't care about women. They just don't want their own liberal privileges sacrificed at the altar of conservative movements. Otherwise they are perfectly happy supporting such movements even if they harm other women.
Errm wasn't this already debunked by Manu Pillai who pointed out that women in Kerala were topless across castes? He also said that
avarna communities were sometimes charged a poll tax but it had very little to do with breasts.
#Brahmanical
patriarchy is so painful & violent. During the Travancore Kingdom, Dalit/OBC women were not allowed to cover their breasts unless they paid a tax. The fee was determined by the size of their breasts. This was made to humiliate them and remind them of their low status
Coupled with the fact that there are RW groups at IITB (one of them being IITB for Bh*rat) who have actually teamed up with BJP-affiliated groups to issue threats to faculty. The absolute state of India's premier institutions.

The rabid Bengali hatred of a large section of Indians is based entirely on stereotypes and rumors. They will latch onto anything to show that hatred. A Bengali can't be an individual with his/her own pov. Xenophobes will always make it about the community.

Why are some Indian lefties so defensive about BD and Pak Muslims? Even in August they were literally RTing Jamaat accs denying anti-Hindu atrocities in BD, just to get back at Indian RWs. Unique behaviour even among South Asian lefties btw, nobody else does this.
Yeah obviously we have no culture. But why are some Bangladeshi academics more obsessed with Hindutva in India than the Islamism in BD? I don't see any tweets from you on how Noboborsho Mongol Shobajatra has come under attack for having folk symbols (idols for Islamists). Why?
So much of what passes as "Indian" is influenced by Mughal courtesans aesthetics which makes the Hindutva Islamophobia intolerable. What culture do you have without Muslims, Sikhs, dalits?

It's not possible to ignore something which affects your existence. At this point, RW ideologues can literally make wild allegations against entire groups and people will lap it up. So, I do dread the larger ramifications that await each and every group that RWs hate.
Everyday I understand more and more why most Indian academics don't engage on Twitter. If the reactionary right wing weren't enough, some edgy leftists have joined the party. God help me if I have to encounter these people and their binary thought processes irl, I would scream
Any post on social media saying something positive about Bengal and the worms come out crawling 🤣. (The reel was simply about Bengali having the second highest no of speakers in India)

There are creeps, rapists, misogynists etc in every race but the visceral hate that Indian men hv for women is absolutely unparalleled. They don't even spare celebs, women's sports teams etc. Misogyny is the one thing that unites Indian men regardless of religion, caste, class.
It's a pity that most modern women don't know the history of how their religion was practiced by oppressing women. School books, rightly, do not contain the really traumatizing details. And unless you study history or take interest in it beyond school level, you will never know.
If you knew anything of feminism, you would know that feminists don't deny biological/physical differences. What they protest against is those differences being used to determine social roles which deny women agency. But hey, continue sucking up.

Many Bengali workers, hawkers return to Bengal after being attacked in Odisha. Inevitable under BJP rule. I don't expect privileged Bengalis to protest or care (and many will instead support). But if we cared we cld make an impact coz large no of Bengalis go to Puri as tourists.
Everytime a riot happens in Bengal, you will see comparisons with Kashmir from all and sundry. Why not compare with Bongol Kheda, an ethnic cleansing actually faced by Bengalis? Oh sorry, I forgot that RWs can't criticize Assamese ethnonationalism. Else how will they support NRC.
So many different groups say bigoted stuff about Hindus/polytheists: evangelicals, Islamists, white nats etc etc. If what happens in Pak and BD can simply be called anti-minority violence, how would you describe the bigotry in discourse, esp in contexts other than Pak/BD?
Girl, hinduphobia is not real. Hindu minorities are treated poorly in non Hindu-majority regions but that is the state of every minority religious group in every nation.
