"Islamophobia" meme is definitely a tactic where Leftists like @RepJayapal team up with Islamists to keep a system of patriarchal oppression and colonialism in place.
These are the sold-out. Unwilling to call out totalitarian dogma and repression for what it is. Where millions of girls around the world can be beaten and thrown into jail for choosing to *not* wear the hijab. But you'd never hear a squeak from these.
People like @minicnair are literally the upholders of Talibanism and #Islamofascism. Without their "solidarity" bad ideas and regressive attitudes would be challenged much more easily.
Little girls are indoctrinated by male clerics into hijab early.
The men vs women binary is an import from the West.
Dharmic/indigenous societies are built on harmony. Abrahamism on binaries of God-Satan, believer-disbeliever. This divides into binaries, right vs left, men vs women and so on.
The colonial state's need to "fix" society is internalized by the "Right" and Left. Thus there is consensus for more and more draconian laws to "civilize 'those' people" so we can be free of colonial shame. Discussion with @madhukishwar.
Within 10 years
1—The world will use their own languages with real-time audio translation.
2—Call centers jobs will be replaced by text/audio chatbots.
But Indians will be chasing "English-medium" while failing to train for actual 21st century skills.
And this is the state of education India is providing its youngsters in English with the "demographic dividend." Creating masses of unemployable youth who can neither use any language well nor posess any skills.
The Chinese communicate with the Japanese in English? And with Russians? And French?
The Chinese study technology in Chinese-medium. The Japanese business heads use Japanese, hire interpreters as needed. They are more globalized than India.
The problem with many of the so-called "Hindutva" thinkers is that they have internalized colonial ideas but parrot them as necessary to be "modern" and "progressive." They share the contempt the Left has for native culture; just in a different flavor.
