#India Womens Hockey Team

[ambiguouspuzuma]

Hi ocelot

I'm compiling (how many things am I compiling now? Halp) a list of names resources so the next time someone (Ghosty) asks me for help with names I can just have a treasure trove at the ready. Do you have any place you frequent for name harvesting that you could offer me?

This is scary because I have been thinking a lot about this recently! I actually have a poll in my drafts where I was going to ask people this very same question, but I was going to wait and see if I thought of any more sensible options. I also called it harvesting!

I personally note down a lot of names I see in the wild and then use them years later, but if I need to seek out names of a specific country of origin I like to visit to the Wikipedia page for that country's third most recent election or the women's hockey team for a match in 2005 (or something like that) for a bit of authenticity.

I no longer trust name generators and baby name websites for such situations, because if you're not super familiar with the culture it's hard to know which names are common or extravagant. Often there will be a page of names which all have a meaning like 'princess', but one is the equivalent of 'Sarah' in English whereas the other one is actually the equivalent of 'Princess'. Big difference in tone for your character.

I think that when I was a teenager I tried to write a book set in India and had characters that were basically called 'River Fire' or something similar, based on naively trusting what I was told were Indian boy's names with cool meanings, and luckily I had a good friend who knew better to correct me and suggest some better alternatives. I ended up naming a character after her cousin, as proposed, and then killing him off. So yeah, friends are a pretty good resource too!

I would say that a large chunk of the names I've used recently are straight-up invented. I will just put a few letters together until I find a combination that feels right for the character. Kova. Patuni. Thlass. Perhaps they're also real names somewhere, perhaps not, but I just mashed my keyboard to get there, Glup Shitto style. For my fantasy or sci-fi settings, that works just fine. It's only for the others that I actually have to think.

[fortuna-majoris]

This feeling is actually echoed by India also. The country filled with cricketers also gave birth to Mary Kom (Boxing), PV Sindhu (Badminton), Manu Bhaker (shooting) The Phogat sisters (Wrestling), Neeraj Chopra (Javelin), Men's and Women's hockey teams across the ages. Even getting a Bronze medal is a huge deal for us because from a young age we are taught, "Padhoge, likhoge tho banoge Nawab. Kheloge, Kudoge tho bange kharab" (If you study, you will live like a king but if you play, you will go bad). But these amazing people have showed us that Khelne aur Kudne se bhi ham Nawab ban sakte hain (We can become kings by playing also). While I was thrilled to see fellow Asian countries like Turkey and South Korea get positive rep for their shooters, the Indian shooter, Manu Bhaker, won 2 bronze (10m singles and 25m mixed) and came fourth in 25m singles, be ignored. This actually were our first medals in shooting after 12 years and our first in mixed pairs. The only ones who reported it were the desiblr and Indian reporting sites.

All parents and schools care about are how well you can mug up stuff. Talent is stifled because of the pressure of grades (there is a guy in my class who is a national champion in Table Tennis and has participated in many inter-state Football championships while representing his state and attended many National Football camps but he is not allowed to play during games period because he gets 25/40 as an average in our tests)

There is so much investment in Cricket and Football but there is hardly anything in niche sports like Shooting, Archery, etc. The players have to work 2 jobs and then come to practice. There are unfair calls (Hockey Quaterfinals) and when we try to protest against said unfair calls, a key player gets banned. There is also a case of racism where a Woman is disqualified from the finals for being 100 fucking GRAMS overweight for 50kg wrestling category where usually if a person is 50-100g overweight they are allowed to compete

But still we are on those podiums with necklaces of success around our neck. Still there is a kid who dreams to stand there one day. Still there is hope for just one more medal, still there is hope for one more record. Still there are prayers of thousands. Still we are there and we will always be there.

"First world" countries will never understand how much an Olympic/world championship medal means to Brazilians (and other "developing nations").

There are barely any scholarships for athletes, there are barely any endorsements or sponsorships. There's no infrastructure, no incentive...

Brazilians are on podiums because we persevere despite an entire system trying to stifle us.

Brazilians are on podiums despite, despite, despite...

Blog 6 - Good and Bad Muslim? representation analysis of Muslim identity in Bollywood

Introduction

Despite the Muslim population in the world accounting for almost a quarter of the world's population, a 2021 study found that they make up for only 1% of all speaking characters in western television. Another report in 2021 by the center of media and monitoring found that 47% of clips broadcast about Muslims were in a negative light, 87% of that coming from news reporting

This might account for why according to a study conducted in 2022, 67% percent of Muslims in the US experience religious discrimination. 

Whenever they are portrayed, it is usually the role of the “other”, the opposition to the forward thinking values of the west, aggressors who are willing to kill and martyr themselves in the name of religion, who subjugate their women and treat them as second class citizens to the man.

Muslim characters are so often portrayed as a terrorist that the word even though it has no direct relation invokes in people's mind a brown bearded Muslim man of middle eastern or African descent. The character of a Muslim always deals with terrorism or insurgency, even when it is progressive in nature, their relation to terrorism still making up the crux of their narratives. 

This kind of representation is seen all over the world, creating a toxic environment for not just Muslims to live in but also creating a general apathy among the general and especially western population to the struggles of Muslims all around the world that suffer from oppression. 

While the representation of Muslim identity in world media is important, I would like to use this blog to talk about the representation of Muslim identity in India, particularly the representation of Muslim men in Bollywood cinemas.

Muslim Identity in Bollywood

As per data in 2021, Muslims form over 14% of the Indian population, making it the second largest community in India, yet they do not occupy the same amount of screen time in Bollywood cinema. 

They are often reduced to the caricatures of a terrorist, often tied to a connection to India’s neighboring rival Pakistan. The Muslims struggle is always one that is represented closely with terrorism, even when they are not explicit. 

One of the most problematic portrayals is the idea of a good and bad Indian Muslim. There is no other community in the country whose patriotism and nationality is questioned as much as the Muslim. 

Looking at an example of Chak de India (2007), it follows Kabir Khan who is an ex hockey player. His patriotism is questioned when he misses the penultimate shot against the rival team of Pakistan, his Muslim identity and his patriotism are doubted due to his Muslim faith and he is ostracized by society. The story follows him as he coaches the female national team to an international win, restoring his name and the love of the people.

While on paper it is easy to see this as a story of triumph, this type of story only highlights the struggles of what a Muslim faces regarding his identity in India everyday. The Indian Muslim is forced to prove his love for the country in order to be seen as a fellow countryman. It is not his Muslimness that redeems his character but rather his patriotism, Kabir khan is a character whose religious identity takes a backseat to his nationalistic identity, yet you can't help but wonder, will things be the same if his team loses again? Is an Indian Muslim only Indian as long as he brings glory to the country? Kabir khan as a character is one whose Muslim identity does not extend much beyond his name and the prejudices that come with that name, while this is a nuanced take on the identity of a lot of Muslims, one can't help wonder if it would have more of a positive effect if it connected to other more overt representation of Muslims in Bollywood and the negative connotations of it. Which I will talk about next.

Muslim men are constantly portrayed as the villains who wear white kurta, Surma (eye makeup) and a skull cap. they speak in Urdu even though Urdu is spoken in only a small part of the country and have a diet that includes a lot of beef, meat that is considered holy by the Hindu population. they are often portrayed as having connections to Pakistan and other terrorist organization with a deep undercover network that runs throughout the country. In the 2021 action thriller film, sooryavanshi, there is a scene where the main character has an exchange of dialogue with the main villain, who is Muslim and dressed up in the attire similar to the one that i have mentioned above. when asked about the plight of Muslims in India, the main character walks over to the two other people in the room, revealing them to be Muslims who serve in the force, who are ready to die for the country making them the real Muslims of India. while it was a convenient way to dodge a very real question posed by the villain, the scene also illustrates the same notions of Muslims proving their patriotism and nationalistic identity when their life is given for the country. but the more interesting aspect of the scene which connects to Kabir khan in chak de india is the attire of the bad and good Muslim portrayed.

The bad Muslim is the one who wears what is stereotypically considered the Muslim religious attire whereas the "good" Muslim is someone whose religious identity is almost invisible to the audience, where if not for their name you would not even know that they were Muslim to begin with. The good Muslim is portrayed as someone for whom religion is second to his nation, his beliefs hidden away so as not to evoke any discomfort in the mind of the majority. he is stripped of any nuance that makes him a human being, he is a martyr one way or another, for his religion or his country. The good Muslim makes his presence unknown whereas the bad Muslim wears his identity on his sleeve.

While the problems of Muslim representation go beyond just the attire, It is important to understand the nuances of these kind of visual token representations that deepen the prejudices against Muslim's whose identity are more overtly recognizable.

[ad_1] (PC: HIL) Jocelyn Bartram’s heroics in the penalty shootout, saving three attempts, secured a 3-2 victory for the Odisha Warriors after their Women’s Hero Hockey India League (2024-25) match against the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers ended in a 1-1 draw. Baljeet Kaur (8’) netted for the Warriors, while Beauty Dungdung (16’) equalized for the Tigers. The Tigers nearly took an early lead in the third minute when Ashley Hoffman’s pass across goal found Lalremsiami and Hannah Cotter, but both missed the opportunity. Shortly after, the Tigers earned the first penalty corner, but Bartram skillfully deflected Hoffman’s drag flick away. Despite early pressure from the Tigers, the Warriors struck first in the eighth minute. Victoria Sauze sent a ball into the circle, which Baljeet Kaur expertly deflected past goalkeeper Jennifer Rizzo to open the scoring. The Tigers had a chance to level late in the first quarter through a penalty corner, but a mistrap allowed the Warriors to hold their lead. The Tigers equalized just seconds into the second quarter when Beauty Dungdung’s shot slipped through Bartram’s legs after a rare mistake. Later, the Warriors were penalized for having six foreign players on the field, gifting the Tigers a penalty corner. However, Bartram denied Udita’s drag flick, and the Tigers wasted another corner opportunity just before halftime. The third quarter saw few chances, with the best opportunity falling to the Warriors in the 37th minute. Michelle Fillet found herself in a promising position but hesitated too long, allowing Susila Chanu to block her shot. Both teams struggled to create clear chances in the fourth quarter. The Tigers’ Hannah Cotter had a half-chance on the counter, but Bartram reacted well to save. In the 58th minute, a defensive lapse from the Tigers gave Rutuja Pisal a chance to win it for the Warriors, but goalkeeper Grace O’Hanlon made a crucial save to keep the game level. In the penalty shootout, Bartram stole the show by saving three attempts, clinching the bonus point for the Odisha Warriors.
