🚨 New Paper Out! 🚨

Few studies have examined workplace discrimination against Muslims in India.

This is the first empirical study that addresses this crucial gap, examining how such discrimination manifests in action.



A short thread🧵on findings 1/ntandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Image 🔍 Key findings:

Members of dominant communities:

🔷Employ slights disguised as humor

🔷Use language to otherize & mock the other community

🔷Disseminate misinformation

🔷Adopt the argument that invokes individual or community accountability rather than state responsibility

There's no pleasing the West. China could do everything right and yet the West would complain. China saving lives? West: but at what cost? China lifting over 800M people out of poverty? West: but at what cost? China leading the world in renewable energy? West: but at what cost? China leading the world in electric cars and high-speed railways? West: but at what cost? China leading the world in tech innovation? West: but at what cost? China being at the forefront of space technology and research? West: but at what cost?

Indian liberals crying about "anti-Americanism" and serving Western interests made me think of this I can see why conservatives love to use this term against liberals at times. I can see why lol.

People like Ro Khanna and Daleep Singh are perfect examples of the limitations of representation politics. The only thing they 'represent' is US imperialism. Both have openly called for consequences against nations avoiding sanctions against Russia, undermining Dollar. This also serves as a good reminder for mainstream Indian media that goes batshit crazy hyping up any Indian-origin person who makes it to the White House. Like what's the big deal here? We are over a billion people (with nearly 4 million in the US). Some self-respect, please!

Sorry pseudo-nationalists, but I don't hate Pakistan. It's the land of my ancestors. It's the land where people I love the most, grew up; built their lives; made memories - memories that will last a lifetime. I won't hate a country just because you want me to. #PreachLoveNotHate Even if that wasn't the case, I still wouldn't. It's futile to hate another country just because you've been "told to". Just because it's convenient for someone else. Just because it suits their agenda. People have been conditioned to hate others, but it doesn't have 2b this way.
