This is an #introduction toot.. We are here because India is currently experiencing a fascist takeover, but many people in the West (even leftists!) continue to think of India as a normal country, a democracy, a good trading partner.

The ruling party, the BJP, is erasing rights to speech, to protest, to practice religion. The forces of Hindu supremacy are bull-dozing Muslim neighborhoods in Delhi, banning hijab in public schools in Karnataka, building camps for the 1.9M mostly Muslim and Adivasi (tribal/indigenous) people who have been stripped of their citizenship in Assam.

We're a small group who are close both to Indian and Western perspectives, hoping to explain the rise of Indian fascism to leftists in the West who are open to learning more and educating others about how their governments and public figures give cover for these human rights abuses and the settler-coloniser agenda of the fascists in power.

We are here in solidarity with Dalits, Muslims, Bahujans, Adivasis, Kashmiris; with political prisoners, journalists and academics rotting in jail; with gender and sexual minorities struggling to live their lives in peace and dignity.
