With the rise of Hindutva, the Muslim community has been pushed into an existential crisis. Facing extreme segregation, the question of how to reclaim dignity becomes unavoidable. Studying at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), a predominantly Muslim campus, I have seen firsthand how this question shapes intellectual debates and discussions. One answer to this consists in an inward turn, whereby Muslims focus on asserting their own religious identity.

Recently (31st December 2024) while inaugurating the Conference as a part of Sivagiri pilgrimage, Pinarayi Vijayan supported the proposal of Swami Satchitanand’s to stop the practice of removing shirts, to keep the torso bare while entering temples. It is believed that this practice came into being to identify those wearing sacred thread, upper caste which alone were privileged to wear it. Some people doubt it, but it is unlikely that there was any other reason for keeping one’s torso uncovered.

On 20 November, I decided to organize a special day for the 35 5-year-olds I teach in a kindergarten near me in Khan Younis. It was World Children’s Day, and I figured that even if the world has forgotten Gaza’s children, we have not. It’s not an official kindergarten, of course. Israel’s genocidal aggression on Gaza has seen 95 percent of Gaza’s schools destroyed or damaged, with at least 87 percent needing “significant reconstruction,” according to the UN, before they can be used again.
