This is not merely a political conflict, it’s about the Brahmanical State and civil society’s necessity to reinscribe Sikhs as subhuman Others- a socially dead & dishonored beings who serve as a foil (counter-image) to it’s own identity.

In India, rape or threatened rape has been used by the government against minority communities on numerous occasions documented by human rights groups. This is an outrageous, and ominous, development.

The cognitive dissonance that afflicts Indian nationalists like you, is symptomatic of the anxiety that Sikh resistance provokes in the State at large. You find it intolerable that someone can challenge the premise of your imperial state’s existence. Indian state, is a fiction,
Calling out the pathologization of entire communities (like Sikhs) by pro Indian leftists & their junior partners (bourgeoisie Sikhs/Muslims), is long overdue.
What causes the messiahs of intersectionality to conceal the multi-layered nature of violence, when victims are Sikh?

June '84: India meticulously planned an attack on Sikh gurdwaras for years to align with a gurpurab.

The systematic reproduction of Beadbi/dishonor of the non-Hindu others, is the foundation upon which sociopsychological well-being of the Brahmanical society rests.

Stop believing in the strength,

Genocide is always cultural. It robs victims of their social vitality, their capacity to form relations, identities and make meaning of their existence -the systemic Beadbi of SGGS, is an attack at the very heart of our capacities to be & narrativize our life
#BeadbilnsaafMorcha
Like every democratic struggle in Punjab in 40 years, this will also end in theatrical violence -a police shooting, an ‘accident’, a ‘gang hit’- the State will reinscribe its fiction of power through ritual violence. How we respond to this violence will decide our being in Punjab
Slavery is primarily a parasitic relation of dishonor and domination that nourishes master community’s honor & being. Economic exploitation & physical ownership, although possible, are not essential to this relation.

India’s refusal to admit Amritpal Singh’s custody; 300+ activists arrested, incl. foreign nationals w/ families, deporting Sikhs to Assam; repeated internet shut off in absence of major protests- all point to likelihood of genocidal violence against Sikhs.
Question is how, if at all, will this affect the liberal narrativisation of Sikh suffering and Indian violence?
Will it disrupt Indian & western liberals’ fetishistic disavowal of Sikh suffering- ie their simultaneous acknowledgement of heinous violence against non-Hindus AND a
Brahmanical genocides rely on the creation of socially dead beings— it’s dishonour & not biological death that is at the heart of this social death.Pogroms, fake encounters, beadbis,imprisonments…Sikhs will continue to resist the violence and it’s erasure

Genocide, like slavery, is not merely biological, but always already cultural and psychological process.The systemic reproduction of dishonor-unending assault on Sikh sacred spaces & scripture-greatest sources of meaning & culture,is a key part of our genocide.
#BeadbilnsaafMorcha
Indian state is in its essence a space of social death - ie violent domination and general dishonour- of the non Hindu other. Indian left + junior partners (elite Sikhs/Muslims) who pathologize our communities at every turn, help sustain zones of violence that structure our lives

To (try to)replicate the truth of the sacred in our own reflection is to destroy it.Only an arrogant, nihilistic rationalism can assume that all truth is propositional, informational- always available to be replicated, reproduced, consumed at will, at the press of a button.
Genocide, like slavery, is not merely biological, but always cultural and psychological process.The systemic reproduction of dishonor-unending assault on Sikh sacred places & scripture-our greatest sources of meaning,is central to our genocide.
