"Indian men spend less time on unpaid domestic and caregiving work compared to the women, and the little time they do spend is also concentrated in outdoor activities such as shopping, travelling, moving and transporting for family needs..." scroll.in/article/108339… via @scroll_in

While the elements of violence in these grand state & empire building projects might be common, the method, logic, & rationale of violence has never been the one and the same. This contributes to the poverty of contemporary Western political thought.

The differences between building an empire and building a cosmopolitan state are huge. However, the Western imagination collapses into a singular category because for the West, this process of nation-building has been synonymous with empire-building.

7. Upper-caste Hindus have crafted a dual victimhood: First, the mythical past of Muslim oppression. Second, the present rise of Dalit & Adivasi voices To sustain this self, they need a mirror. Israel exemplifies an apartheid state with a PR machine built on "eternal victimhood."

Their caste apartheid meets its ideal model in Israel’s racial apartheid.

6. Upper-Caste Chauvinism: Upper-caste Hindu nationalism mirrors Israeli Zionism. A Shukla LARPing as an Israeli on Twitter isn’t absurd—it's symptomatic. Upper castes see Israel’s domination of Palestinians not just as desirable but as aspirational.

5. Policy Schizophrenia: Indian foreign and domestic policies are out of sync. What India claims abroad collapses under what it practices at home. You can’t export democratic values while nurturing apartheid at home and applauding it abroad.

4. Militarism as Identity: India's aggressive, chauvinistic nationalism today is shaped by Israeli-style militarism. From botched military thrillers to PR overdrive, Indian cinema has become a vehicle for glorifying violence as statecraft. The message: strength = dehumanisation.

3. Post-2019, Indian foreign policy has become muddled, held together mostly by personality cults—esp around Jaishankar. When it comes to Palestine, Indians parrot Israeli propaganda. And this isn’t accidental. The Israeli hasbara model used in the US has been cloned for India.
