i haven& #39;t been here all day but i just want to say this: a lot of you who scream south asian """Cultural Appropriation""" at the smallest of things are a) conflating south asian """"culture"""" with hinduism b) peddling soft hindutva

if you& #39;re even remotely aware of the subcontinent& #39;s present extremely volatile, communal and islamophobic political scenario and if you& #39;re hell-bent on preserving the "purity" of hindu iconography then well . i have nothing more to say apart from: examine ur caste privilege!!!!!

and before anyone misconstrues this thread i am not questioning anyone& #39;s religious beliefs, simply pointing out how in our present socio-political context, your social location as a uc hindu comes with a wealth of implications you Need to be self-aware and critical of. and+

this rhetoric of a monolithic "hindu" culture being passed off as "south asian/indian culture" is extremely extremely problematic and plays right into the hands of the fascists who are currently running this country
