Caste isn’t limited to our particular South Asian homeland, it migrates, too. Caste is embodied by all of us diasporic South Asians, regardless of ethnic, national, linguistic, religious, sexual, or political affiliation. Thus it is all of our responsibility to interrogate our privilege. For far too long we have watched caste re-emerge and settle in our new geographies. We have shied away from discussing caste in diaspora. And most importantly, we have let this silence allow South Asian diasporic movements to erase caste from their intersectional analysis. But this ends now.

For radical South Asians, this is the moment to include caste into your intersectional analysis. This is the time to begin the long, complicated conversation of  taking caste into account. This is not a conversation that happens at the end of a meeting. This is not where having a Dalit friend gives you a free pass not to recognize your own caste privilege. And if this article makes you feel like this is not meant for you because you are not a Brahmin, then this article is especially for you. For caste has internal, interpersonal and institutional effects. And every caste is implicated in maintaining its hegemony. Yes, every caste. It is only when we actively challenge caste together that we have a chance to end it in our lifetime. But for this to happen, we need to name, see, and reckon it for what it is first.

It is only when we actively challenge caste together that we have a chance to end it in our lifetime.

Most importantly, it does not end just by simply reading this article — you have to commit to wrestle with these ideas and then put what you read into practice.

Dalits, Bahujans, and Adivasis have so far been the only ones to raise the issue of caste. Just because we bear the brunt of the violence of this system it does not mean it is only our problem. Caste is, in fact, a structural problem. Therefore, it needs structural solutions that are grounded in collective and inclusive actions to dismantle it. It is time that those who are Savarna, or Upper-caste, begin to learn to name and own their privilege and take on the burden of educating and dismantling caste in your own families and social networks. For the hardest work is to confront those that are closest and most intimate to you in your personal and professional lives. In fact, this is where really allyship begins. This is the point when complicated conversations begin. It starts when you become the uncomfortable voice laying bare the privilege to the social locations from where caste trickles down from: your friends, family, and professional colleagues. It begins when you break the silence of your own privilege.

I feel like I'd get kicked of Twitter by trads and other weirdos for posting this so might as well put it on Tumblr

It is very weird how RRR seems to treat tribals as just kind of an ignorant mass of people without any consciousness of their situation. Whether it's the comparison to sheep or the idea that Komaram Bheem is somehow unaware of the freedom struggle despite having lost his own father to the British backed Nizam regime.

It is a laudable movie, mostly on a technical level but also thoroughly enjoyable, but many Indian and non Indian film critics seem to overlook this angle, even while discussing the more common take of the Hindutva angle.

Maranda and others in Guduta, a remote tribal village in India’s eastern Odisha state that rests in a seemingly endless forest landscape, are “Adivasis,” or Indigenous tribespeople, who adhere to Sarna Dharma.

The government does not legally acknowledge their faith — a fact that is increasingly becoming a rallying point for change for some of the 5 million or so Indigenous tribespeople in the country who follow Sarna Dharma. They say formal recognition would help preserve their culture and history in the wake of the slow erosion of Indigenous tribespeople’s rights in India.

Citizens are only allowed to align themselves with one of India’s six officially recognized religions — Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism and Sikhism.

The protests have gained momentum after the recent election of Droupadi Murmu, the first tribal woman to serve as India’s president, raising hopes that her historic win will bring attention to the needs of the country’s Indigenous population, which is about 110 million people as per the national census.

I deeply admire the courage of filmmakers and actors who create such profound cinema. Despite mainstream movies dominating, these gems struggle to shine in crowded multiplexes. Today, there's a scarcity of films that truly resonate, making us ponder society's harsh realities. "Joram" skillfully brings its characters to life, with stellar performances by Manoj Bajpayee, Smita Tambe, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. It's a testament to Devashish Makhija's creative vision, beautifully executed.

What is Sarna and Why Has There Been a Demand to Make it a Religion? - The Indian Tribal

The religious faith of the indigenous or native or tribal people, mainly the Scheduled Tribes, is called Sarna. The demand for Sarna Dharma Samhita is mainly arising because the tribal communities make it clear that they are not Hindus. Also, several tribal organizations claim that more than 49.57 lakh people living in 29 states and union territories across the country have mentioned 'other' instead of mentioning any particular religion in the religion column during the 2011 census. While choosing the option, he has told his religious beliefs to Sarna. https://theindiantribal.com/2023/04/03/variety-tribal-india-all-about-separate-sarna-religious-code-as-demand-by-adivasis-gathers-momentum-across-states/
