Whose city? by Amit Singh on Whatsapp (ohotos https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNF_m11Vy-wfvUguuTE9-_3Xzi3R3poGXaDFrgzxEOr2hwjGD2psID0OOD2_k6zcA?pli=1&key=NG1EN3B4algwaGtZbmRlMnRacDFqNlhlNF9TakRR)
Whose city is it anyway? Of real estate sharks like Hiranandani who have displaced so many people off the lands in Powai and deforested the area? Or of many workers who were living till this Wednesday in Jai Bhim Nagar, a slum surrounded by Hiranandani owned huge residential towers, and whose jhuggis and homes were demolished by the BMC under the directives of powers that rule Mumbai and Powai?
After their homes and memories were shattered on Thursday afternoon, many of them are forced to live now on the nearby roads. The footpath near the Powai plaza towards the Galleria shopping mall has been the most kind so far to give shelter to hundreds of people.
Transformational Solidarity: A Dalit Feminist Viewpoint
Transformational Solidarity: A Dalit Feminist Viewpoint Priyanka Samy https://thewire.in/caste/transformational-solidarity-a-dalit-feminist-viewpoint We live in times where struggles for social justice and equity converge, revealing inherent similarities between issues.... we must transition from our binary understanding of systems and power. This mandates the social justice movement to rise to a new level of consciousness and action. It is an urgent call – to move from performative politics to progressive politics, from tokenistic solidarities towards transformational solidarities.
Transformational solidarity goes beyond the superficial allyship often displayed by those who remain ensnared in the webs of white and Brahminical supremacy. It demands of us a deep, introspective commitment to understanding the diverse ways in which people are systematically oppressed.
Recalibrating our politics to embody transformational solidarity is not a one-time action but a continuous process of unlearning, learning, strategising and re-strategising. Moreover, as the civil society space is increasingly shrinking across the globe, the time for surface-level solidarities has long passed.
