Shaheed-E-Aazam Bhagat Singh was called Terrorist by British Raj, but to Indians he was, is and always will be a Freedom Fighter
Tumblr media
Indian socialist revolutionary Bhagat Singh and his comrades, Sukhdev Thapar and Shivaram Rajguru, were executed by India’s British colonial rulers.
During Singh’s short life, he became one of the most influential revolutionaries in India’s independence movement.
Although he respected Mahatma Gandhi’s role in organizing people to resist British rule, he also developed a critique of Gandhi’s methods and vision for a post-independence India.
Despite his atheism and Marxism, he’s still revered today by all sections of the country and is referred to as Shaheed-e-Azam (the Great Martyr) in Punjabi.
On March 23, 1931, Bhagat Singh and his two fellow revolutionaries were hanged.
As they marched towards the gallows, they reportedly chanted, “Down with British Imperialism” and “Down with capitalism!”.
Their actions and subsequent execution by the colonial regime inspired many and made them revered figures in the Indian struggle for freedom against the British Empire.
Just like Palestinians Resistance is called a terrorist group by the Western Nations simply because they refuse to give up their land for European and North American White People. Palestinians are indigenous to the land of Palestine. Becky from Brooklyn is not. This is not a war about religion, this is a struggle for their motherland of Palestine, this is a struggle for equal rights, this is a struggle for Palestinians for the Right of Return to their homelands from which they were and are being driven out by Terrorist militias in 1948 and by Europeans and North Americans with the help of Terrorist Organization IDF. Israel has made this struggle an excuse to commit GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING of Palestinians. This is about BRUTAL & TERRORIST COLONIZER State Israel (like the British Raj in India where they STARVED & KILLED MILLIONS of Indians) and OPPRESSED & DISPLACED People of Palestine (Something that former colonies like India know)

ok so this actually IS ffxiv related
this morning i saw some comments in a lore channel that uh... it was clearly a joke. but this kind of joke hurts me.
it's ok to make jokes about the garlean empire. IT SUCKED. the garleans in charge, sucked. the cultural purity ethos was god awful. they are meant to be villains. meant.
like the viator says to jullus, "they gave you slop to eat like pigs and you ate it all up." (this is the general idea of the jpn line)
but if we're going to look at them from the side of de-colonizing liberals, marginalized people who want to be empowered, it's not great to essentialize all the culture of any one nation down to its worst qualities.
i'm super NOT pointing at the game. i'm talking about player behaviour. like, if you call yourself a liberal, then you must look at these issues with real nuance. if you call yourself compassionate, you can't then turn around and dehumanize your enemies. that's not how this fucking works.
you look at the culture. you look at the history irl. you understand how they got there, why they got there, and you realize we're having these same problems all over the world, again. ethnosupremacy. racial supremacy. caste supremacy. those who deserve greatness versus those who are born in suffering because they fucking deserve it, apparently.
it's justified to take up arms against the intolerant. it's not justified to essentialize an entire group of people because of a political wave.
i come from the stance that garlean imperial culture, the ruling class and the capital, are highly roman influenced. but that the people and their homeland are russian influenced. and when you look at the russians, at the very least, they are not without their suffering. the people today are not happy with their government. they are not.
slavic peoples carry the cultural story of survival. that every generation has their own suffering they must endure. this includes the russians.
it's just not black or white. we can't tolerate intolerance. when people oppress, we need to say something. do something. that's the important part. so when you're in a fictional setting when you can be a literal fucking super hero, which is something impossible in reality, why would you make the choice to further essentialize and dehumanize your fucking enemy. that takes you back to square fucking one.
extremes work from the same logic, despite overtly espousing different ideas. when in conflict, we require balance. compassion is a balancing act between mercy and truth. how much mercy? how much are we straying from the truth? what level of responsibility is owed? do we owe?
everyone starts somewhere. when it comes to any kind of rp or story telling, everyone starts somewhere. but we are people who exist in a real world. fiction should make us better. it should help us think through problems abstractly so we can observe and refine our own ideals. i just can't agree with making sick jokes about how the nation where the villains come from is inherently bad.
emet-selch? awful. hate him. sphene? literally the better version of emet-selch, has empathy, still unforgivable in action and ideology.
the ancients actually being superior human beings? ridiculous, racist, steeped in ethnocentric bias. does that mean we can't have fucking beach episodes with artemis, apollo and fucking hecate? of course not. so long as we KNOW it is fiction. and that they are NOT superior.
it's all about knowledge and how you use it. it's all about compassion and the choices you make. stupid comments reveal your bias. don't settle on your bias. always reflect on who you are, what that means, what your positionality is, and what you ought to do. especially when you presume to put yourself on a pedestal of leftist ideal in the first place.
for context, i'm an indian who grew up with relatives who hated the british. my grandfather was born during the raj, my uncle said we name dogs english names b/c the british are dogs. my people, the punjabis, suffered a lot of bullshit b/c of the raj and its aftermath. but my first language is english. in the US.
so i'm not talking out of my ass.

Just had a thought: canonically White Kuro characters who may have Indian blood?
So, I’ve been on an Indian history kick recently and I’ve been reading up a lot about the Great Game, life during the British Raj, and what life was like for Anglo-Indians. Given that Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay were cosmopolitan hubs with a great deal of British traffic since the EIC first arrived, there would be plenty of them around.
And initially, prior to official British colonialism in 1858, intermarriage wasn’t uncommon. I was reading an article by William Dalrymple titled White Mischief through which I’d found out about James Achilles Kirkpatrick, an English East India Company officer who married Khair-un-Nissa, a Hyderabadi Muslim noblewoman. Their two children were later sent to England to be baptised and live out the rest of their lives there.
I’d discussed this with a mutual the other day, and this led to me having the idea about certain characters - such as Clayton, McMillan, or even Fred Abberline - having some Indian ancestry. Tbh part-Punjabi Abberline is hilarious to imagine bc he’d be so overwhelmed by that side of his family, but it fits somehow dhskdnsj. As for McMillan, I have a whole headcanon about his half-Bengali mother.

Canada has long been a draw for people from India's Punjab province seeking new opportunities elsewhere. But has the Canadian dream soured?
It's hard to miss the ardour of Punjab's migrant ambitions when driving through its fertile rural plains.
Billboards promising easy immigration to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK jut out through ample mustard fields.
Off the highways, consultancies offer English language coaching to eager youth.
Single-storey brick homes double up as canvasses for hand-painted mural advertisements promising quick visas. And in the town of Bathinda, hundreds of agents jostle for space on a single narrow street, pledging to speed up the youth's runaway dreams.
For over a century, this province in India's northwest has seen waves of overseas migration; from the Sikh soldiers inducted into the British Indian Army travelling to Canada, through to rural Punjabis settling in England post-independence.
But some, especially from Canada, are now choosing to come back home.
One of those is 28-year-old Balkar, who returned in early 2023 after just one year in Toronto. Citizenship was his ultimate goal when he left his little hamlet of Pitho in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. His family mortgaged their land to fund his education.
But his Canadian dream quickly lost its allure a few months into his life there.
"Everything was so expensive. I had to work 50 hours every week after college, just to survive," he told the BBC. "High inflation is making many students leave their studies."
Balkar now runs an embroidery business from a small room on one side of the expansive central courtyard in his typical Punjabi home. He also helps on his family's farm to supplement his income.
Opportunities for employment are few and far between in these rural areas, but technology has allowed entrepreneurs like him to conquer the tyranny of distance. Balkar gets the bulk of his business through Instagram.
"I have a good life here. Why should I face hardships there when I can live at home and make good money?" he asks.
The BBC spoke to at least half a dozen reverse migrants in Punjab who shared similar sentiments.
It was also a common refrain in the scores of videos on YouTube shared by Indians who had chosen to abandon their life in Canada and return home. There was a stark difference one young returnee told the BBC between the "rosy picture" immigration agents painted and the rough reality of immigrant life in Toronto and Vancouver.
The "Canada craze" has let up a bit - and especially so among well-off migrants who have a fallback option at home, says Raj Karan Brar, an immigration agent in Bathinda who helps hundreds of Punjabis get permanent residencies and student visas every year.
The desire for a Canadian citizenship remains as strong as ever though among middle- and lower middle-class clients in rural communities.
But viral YouTube videos of students talking about the difficulty in finding jobs and protests over a lack of housing and work opportunities has created an air of nervousness among these students, say immigration agents.
There was a 40% decline in applications from India for Canadian study permits in the second half of 2023, according to one estimate. This was, in part, also due to the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada over allegations Indian agents were involved in the murder of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
There are also hints of deeper cultural factors at play, for a waning Canadian dream among an older generation of Indian migrants.
Karan Aulakh, who spent nearly 15 years in Edmonton and achieved career and financial success, left his managerial job for a comfortable rural life in Khane ki Daab, the village where he was born in 1985. He told the BBC he was upset by LGBT-inclusive education policies in Canada and its 2018 decision to legalise recreational cannabis. Incompatibility with the Western way of life, a struggling healthcare system, and better economic prospects in India were, he said, key reasons why many older Canadian Indians are preparing to leave the country.
"I started an online consultancy - Back to the Motherland - a month and a half ago, to help those who want to reverse migrate. I get at least two to three calls every day, mostly from people in Canada who want to know what job opportunities there are in Punjab and how they can come back," said Mr Aulakh.
For a country that places such a high value on immigration, these trends are "concerning" and are "being received with a bit of a sting politically", says Daniel Bernhard of the Institute of Canadian Citizenship, an immigration advocacy group.
A liberalised immigration regime has been Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's signature policy to counter slowing economic growth and a rapidly aging population.
According to Canada's statistics agency, immigration accounted for 90% of Canada's labour force growth and 75% of population growth in 2021.
International students contribute to over C$20bn ($14.7bn; £11.7bn) to Canada's economy each year, a bulk of them Indians who now make up one in five recent immigrants to the country.
India was also Canada's leading source for immigration in 2022.
The numbers of those leaving are still small in absolute terms with immigration levels at all-time highs in Canada - the country welcomed nearly half a million new migrants each year over the past few years.
But the rate of reverse migration hit a two decade high in 2019, signalling that migrants were "losing confidence" in the country said Mr Bernhard.
Country specific statistics for such emigrants, or reverse migrants, are not available.
But official data obtained by Reuters shows between 80,000 and 90,000 immigrants left Canada in 2021 and 2022 and either went back to their countries, or onward elsewhere.
Some 42,000 people departed in the first half of 2023.
Fewer permanent residents are also going on to become Canadian citizens, according to census data cited by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship. In 2001, 75% of those eligible became citizens. Two decades later, it was 45%.
Canada needs to "restore the value of its citizenship," said Mr Bernhard.
It comes as Canada debates its aggressive immigration targets given country's struggle to absorb more people.
A recent report from National Bank of Canada economists cautioned that the population growth was putting pressure on its already tight housing supply and strained healthcare system.
Canada has seen a population surge - an increase of 1.2 million people in 2023 - driven mostly by newcomers.
The report argued that growth needed to be slowed to an annual increase of up to 500,000 people in order to preserve or increase the standard of living.
There appears to have been a tacit acceptance of this evaluation by policymakers.
Mr Trudeau's Liberal government recently introduced a cap on international student permits that would result in a temporary decrease of 35% in approved study visas.
It's a significant policy shift that some believe may end up further reducing Canada's appeal amid a wave of reverse migrations.
