Indian occupation in Kashmir disallows political mapping of the region by its people. State manufactured Maps, in this context, imagine violent change— retell a history, distort the present, and force dreams of an offensive future.

The encampment at University of Amsterdam had the riot police called on it in its first 12 hours. UvA called the police on its own students, who then razed unarmed student protestors with a bulldozer. Over a 100 protestors are now arrested.

while Palestine exception is real, this is not it. TDS is an actual mouthpiece for RW fascism in India. His acceptance of the award is in line with the entirety of his politics
This is a perfect example of the Palestine exception. Decolonization is only a metaphor for these academics. As long as you don’t question actually existing colonial domination, dispossession, and genocide, you may even win a prize awarded by a colonial entity.

Protests in the heart of the imperial empire—at an elite university in America, become socio-spatial sites for furthering ‘local’ solidarities into the global. Thus, when Azadi is chanted at Columbia, it must remain embedded in Kashmir.

What is lost in the debate dominated by upper-class/caste Indians & Pakistanis is that Kashmiris do not claim to own Azadi. However, in pursuit of liberation for themselves, they urge others to recognize the distinction between adoption and appropriation.

genocide is a process, not a single big event. the time for remorse, anger or celebration is now (has been for a while). Muslims in india are under active genocide

the construction of The Muslim in the majority Indian consciousness is so vile, that even their existence is seen as resistance, and thereby legitimate grounds for extermination.
Because the state and its majority populace has no tolerance for Muslim resistance (or existence)
