'Universal' assumptions about suitable climates for museum collections usually represent particular ideas about cultural preservation and overlook others, writes Dr Nicole Tse, @Cultcons.

[Irfan Ahmad @IrfanHindustan]

What explains the disgusting patriarchal, Islamophopbic act of Nitish Kumar as he forcibly "unveils" the hijab of a young Muslim woman? It is "Hindu Orientalism" loyal to & reworked from Western Orientalism.

In an essay for @melbasiareview , I formulated it as follows:

"Bodies of Muslim women are crucial terrain of securitisation.  Due to space limitation, only one example will suffice. In 2022, Muslim girls in Karnataka were debarred from pursuing education because of their choice to wear hijab. Very few feminists lodged any significant protest against such blatant gender discrimination, showing thereby how postcolonial feminism continues to be loyal to colonial vocabulary. In place of colonial logic of what Spivak said ‘white men saving brown women from brown men,’ in contemporary India, it is ‘Hindu men and women together engaged in the mission of saving Muslim women from Muslim men.’ The call ‘to save’ Muslim women has only intensified since Modi acquired power in 2014. "

PS: Mr Kumar is chief minister of Bihar, my province | state.
