@poisonouskheer threshold can exclude smaller communities but that’s a design choice, not an inherent flaw in PR. Use a lower threshold, no threshold or STV.
question is whether every political group has a fair path to representation.

[Don @adma012]

Sharjeel Imam argument is that if 15% of voters consistently support a particular political position, they should have a reasonable opportunity to secure roughly 15% of legislative representation that could give every minority community a fairer chance at political representation

[Anuj Sethi @AnujSet02569374]

@adma012 Political representation what kind of it?
You can vote, create a party on its own, you can be MLA, MP, president or PM.
So whats exactly mean by political representation?
Don't forget he praised jinnah and blamed nehru.
Because of nehru india isn't Hindu rashtra

[Don @adma012]

@poisonouskheer PR can retain geographic constituencies and individual representatives, as STV demonstrates.

And PR doesn’t inherently mean 10,000 parties or chaos , fragmentation depends on thresholds, district magnitude and institutional design not proportionality alone

[Don @adma012]

@poisonouskheer PR decentralises political representation by preventing a local majority from monopolising seats while federalism decentralises political power across levels of government

[Don @adma012]

Sharjeel Imam has critically examined deep-rooted problems within Muslim society but you’ll never engage with his ideology seriously if you keep judging him through a narrow, parochial lens.

@adma012 That train passed in 1947

Deport yourself to Pakistan if you want all this

Btw, Pakistan has even more rampant casteism & real minority oppression.

Self deport yourself.

Just Read this letter.
What a sensible man he is .An Educated and Visionary Man Sharjeel Imam.

Sharjeel Imam wrote this letter from Tihar Jail in reply to Arka Deb, a journalist he holds in deep regard. It follows his life, his reading, his political convictions and his experience behind bars, and it takes in the legal and constitutional implications of his detention, his mother, his daily routine and his vision for Muslim political empowerment in India.

While J Sai Deepak is Hindutva thug Sharjeel Imam’s discourse focuses on proportional representation, political safeguards for Muslims and other marginalised groups, decentralisation, and challenging superstition and casteism through Islamic reform and social justice.

[Hindu Evolian @HinduEvolian]

Sharjeel Imam and Sai Deepak are similar in using Progressive language and literature for furthering their Ethnoreligious nationalisms
but one of them is hailed by the progressives as some great original thinker and the other is declared a garden variety bigot🥱

[Don @adma012]

@stkP641 @darab_farooqui Jinnah was Muslim nationalist/constitutional modernist, rather than Islamist and same goes for muslim league

[Don @adma012]

Polytheism (Shirk) can foster superstition and create space for godmen, exploitative religious practices and irrational beliefs to flourish in society.

[Don @adma012]

With one article, Sharjeel Imam tore into the hollow comfort of both soft and hard Hindutva, exposing how easily “secularism” and the Constitution can become shields for the same political status quo.

[Don @adma012]

@desishitposterr Comparing Umar Khalid to Syed Abul A’la Maududi tells me that u have absolutely no idea about either of them

[Don @adma012]

@GauravT71548031 The question isn’t whether India is already fascist or genocidal.

Do we really have to wait until minorities are systematically stripped of their rights, institutions are hollowed out, and violence becomes normalized before we admit that something has gone seriously wrong?

[Don @adma012]

@Mubashir_AIMIM @sabsezyadaa Constitution fascist hai - Sharjeel Imam

[Don @adma012]

@cynical_py46677 @adityajakki Polytheism can foster superstition and create space for godmen, exploitative religious practices and irrational beliefs to flourish in society.

he isn’t inciting violence against polytheists. His stated position is about safeguarding the constitutional rights of Indian Muslims.

[Don @adma012]

@pkchan_24 @ShivamMish78313 Forget Muslims for a moment why are Christians in India repeatedly targeted by Hindutva vigilantes, while the state is accused of backing this violence?

[Don @adma012]

@GauravT71548031 Your dismissal of “victimhood” also reflects privilege if you haven’t experienced the discrimination many Indian Muslims report. And Christians too have faced documented attacks and harassment.

[Don @adma012]

@GauravT71548031 His existence alone doesn’t prove India is a liberal state. A person being free for years cannot erase documented concerns over CAA/NRC, hate speech, communal violence, and the treatment of minorities.

[Don @adma012]

@ShivamMish78313 Calling a state “Islamic” constitutionally does not by itself mean that it embodies the principles of Islamic governance.

[Don @adma012]

@ShivamMish78313 Pakistan has clearly fallen short of the standards traditionally associated with the Islamic caliphate, particularly in terms of justice, accountability of rulers, consultation (shura), rule of law and protection of rights.
