A Satyajit Ray Film That Foresaw India’s Descent Into Dystopia With Remarkable Clarity | @basuanjan52 writes about ‘Hirak Rajar Deshe’ thewire.in/film/a-satyaji…

"a foreshadowing of what might happen where the ruler is sustained by vast wealth, fears learning, and keeps an anxious eye out for rebellion—and what is a call for justice and equality if not a call to overthrow the throne?" @nilanjanaroy on Satyajit Ray's "Hirak Rajar Deshe".

@kahanganguteli Also this is dumb he has made movies in which protagonist were rich and even middle class

Well, starving villages, poverty, broken families were the vast reality then, not the sanitized, traditionally urbanized joint family fantasy from a sooraj barjatya film. Satyajit Ray really deserved a better audience than Indians were and still are.

@lolopantz @psemophile there’s no conspiracy - i believe that this has been directly fueled by the same groups in the west. 100%. there is zero explanation for the language used, the retroactive changes, the intentional casteism - like they were coached on an acceptable version of the bill for india.

@psemophile don't want to get too conspiracy brained because it's not as if senseless cruelty is beyond them but this sudden import of british-american anti trans rhetoric and legislation feels very fucking weird

the transgender amendment bill was introduced and passed in both houses of the parliament at a breakneck speed. allowed for no time to process, organise, protest (despite which much was done). idk much about the expected timelines in this case but this feels nefarious

It only took Renuka Ji a single sentence to turn the parliament into a slaughterhouse with all the BJPigs squealing. 😂😂

Kind images of gods are disappearing, and angry images are appearing, such depictions are inspired by Marvel and DC comics and that they are the work of those who have never read the scriptures. Read more... theprint.in/feature/around…

"I am not interested in having conversations about gender-sex dichotomies because I think they are contextual, and culturally specific. One of the things that I worry about, and I am also implicated in this, is the strict binary system that maintains the myth of oppositionality: sex-gender, gay-straight, trans-cis, which is deeply medicalised, deeply Christian and deeply Western. I have only spent a little time in India but I think things are a lot more complicated here. People are holding simultaneity and holding contradiction in ways that will never get elevated to the level of state recognition. Pieces of trans legislation are interesting because they are attempting to define something that is fundamentally indefinable. How do we legislate around an identity that is fluid? How do we legislate around an identity that varies drastically with its expression on the basis of caste, class, and region? I don’t think we have legal frameworks to do that. Once you protect on the basis of trans identity, there is a question of who gets “allowed” to be trans and who gets believed for being trans. Then caste and class become important—are reservations really necessary for upper-class or upper-caste trans people like me? I don’t think so. I am less interested in focusing on identity than I am on focusing on the power relation." On 25 January 2017, Skye Arundhati Thomas, a writer and critic, met Vaid-Menon before a performance at the Talera Institute of Fine and Applied Arts, in Pune. The two spoke about the legal recognition of the third gender in India, and the perils of seeing people within binaries, such as either cis or trans, or gay or straight. Vaid-Menon also spoke about opposing gender as a concept, as well as the value of kinship to those who don’t conform to a particular gender or sexuality.

People in this country think that education is only needed to get a job, sex is something bad that happens to women, and free speech is only for people who spread communal hate. 10th board results are out, and parents are more stressed than students about the future.
