ReplyDeleteWhen a country declares a religion as the state religion, I don't understand how that is not automatically labeled as apartheid and does not attract censure and sanctions from UN?
Individual acts of violation of secularism in already progressive countries are painstakingly and repeatedly ginned up in international forums, but how come the addition of preference to a religion in the constitution does not attract proportional response? Furthermore, nobody seems to have any problem using the phrase "muslim country" when that should automatically imply religious apartheid. Notwithstanding the obvious absurdity of that term.
Why this massive blind spot?
Oh and this article seems to state the problem clearly, but what is the point when it does not pick on the idealogical changes and its sponsors?
Its not clear to me why you think China's censorship and its impact on the curiosity of Chinese students is 'good news' for India.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Foreign Policy article, when analyzing the political history of Pakistan in terms of the shrinking space to choose, surely the most important dimension has to be in political choice.
ReplyDeleteNot trying to de-emphasize women's rights over their bodies and expression, but these freedoms should be the consequence of accepting people's right to make political choices, not a precursor/alternative to them.
In Pakistan, the choice of the Bengali majority to elect its leaders and have a voice proportional to its weight was neutered by the an elite, which although comfortable with western dress, was uncomfortable with democracy. Once credible political choices are off the table, turning to religious or some other form of extremism is a very likely outcome.
