I will ally with and support a Muslim who appeals to allah and a Hindu who appeals to Shiva as long- and only as long - as they embrace atheists abd those of other religions. 1/n
Of course I'm apprehensive about religion as a central part of anti- Hindutva discourse. It feels like religion is what got us here in the first place. Islamists' insinuation into Kashmiriyat has only been taken over by far greater oppressions by Hindutavadis - but it exists. 2/n
Inquilab Zindabad may inspire you, Bharat Mata ki Jai can't just be left to the Hindutvadis. If La Ilaha inspires others- those whose very souls have been repressed from worship - so be it. 3/n
If those chanting La Ilaha make common cause with other constitutionalists who wish to harness the shakti of Durga ma and atheists who think its all bunkum are very keen on Article 14, well then. So long as we embrace - not tolerate - each other's humanity and citizenship. 4/n
