We Need to Talk About RC and South Asian Representation in its Stories

Hey beautiful people, this is going to be a long post yet a very important one. From a Desi (A South Asian) to my fellow Desis and non-Desis (who especially need to hear me out).

I know the popularity of Romance Club as an interactive game. And being a South Asian makes me wanna pick literally any story that represents us. So, I went into RC's stories promising South Asian representation: Kali: Call of Darkness and Kali: Flames of Samsara. Apart from the poor research done on Indian culture which is too niche and trivial to be understood by everyone (relating to Indian languages and North-South differences), there is yet another aspect of Indian society that the game not only completely misrepresents but even whitewashes and this is very harmful to people, especially those with no knowledge of Indian culture, picking up the game to learn smth and that is: CASTE.

While playing the game, I am sure many of u may have come across such terms as 'Brahmin' or 'Kshatriya', 'Vaishya', or even 'Shudra'. And I am sure many of u may even have a rudimentary understanding of the same. This is the caste/ varna (Sanskrit term) that has plagued Indian society for thousands of years. And these terms basically divide desis even today. I especially want non-South Asians to understand that these terms carry a history of violence and discrimation. This was the chaturvarna or the 4 varna/caste sys wherein groups were ranked on their superiority to each other.

1.Brahmin-Priestly class

2.Kshatriya-Soldiers/ warriors/kings

3.Vaishya-merchants and traders

4.Shudras-Servants/slaves, (the lowest rung on the caste ladder and the most miserable)

Do keep in mind that this is not some class sys similar to feudal Europe or France, but this is CASTE which is very diff from what a non-South Asian may imagine. Notions of purity and pollution guide the caste sys (which may not influence class). A Shudra person was considered impure and hence an 'untouchable' and their mere shadows were considered polluting on the other 3 castes, so much so that they were ghettoized. In South Asia, servile work is generally considered 'polluting' and a complex history of multiple factors relegated this strict division of labourers, In simple lang, a Brahmin priest's son could only be a priest (which was a divine occupation and revered) and a Shudra's son could only do work considered appropriate of his caste which usually translated to things such as manual scavenging (still in India) and servile work considered 'polluting' from which they had no respite. This system was horrible towards Shudras in general as their labour was appropriated by the upper castes for their own gain very similar to how African slave labourers worked at white plantations if I hv to draw a rough comparison. Shudras/Dalits (the term 'Dalit' means broken/oppressed and was given by a Dalit leader and Indian legend Dr. Ambedkar to help uplift this community in Indian society) are subject to not only physical but structural violence. They were barred entry in schools, wells, tanks, roads and literally everywhere since their presence of 'polluting'. Now I have 2 more points:

In RC, I know everyone loves the male leads, and rightly so. But u need to understand that Ratan Vaish and Amrit Doobay won't give a fuck if a Dalit person died in front of them no matter how caring they might be. Since Brahmins were the priestly class, they hegemonized control over Hindu deities and mythology and only they could 'talk' to Gods (according to them ofc and their superiority complex). Amala is a Basu (a Bengali Brahmin surname) and hence both Doobay (again Brahmin) and Vaish (def upper-caste surname) r after her. If Amala was a Dalit, Amrit would hv raped and even killed her (Dalit women and the sexual violence enacted upon them by upper-caste men....again to draw a comparison similar to black women being raped by white men during slavery and jim crow eras: Google Hathras Rape case) and Ratan would have ignored her. ( Notice how Amrit was having an affair with that temple lady. She is most likely a Shudra as most Shudra women were forced into sexual slavery in temples by Brahmins like Amrit. Therefore, he treats her like an object and throws her away once Amala i.e. a woman of his caste falls in love with him. A Dalit woman's body is disposable and objectified here. Look at the complete whitewahing of power dynamics in that sexual encounter with Amrit and the temple dancer).We all need to understand that a similar fate would hv befallen Deviya Sharma (again a Brahmin woman) as even she would have been raped and ignored by other Brahmins and upper caste men in the story such as Ram/or Kamal etc. Arhat is likely a Shudra and Deviya will never bat an eyelash at him since his only job is to be in service to her tiger which Deviya probably treats with more respect than she does Arhat. My point is RC is mass producing these stories for the hyper-privileged White people of India i.e. the upper castes and that is Brahmins and Kshatriyas and Vaishyas. Dalits have rarely been entertained in representation much less in India than in abroad. But that is not what I am pissed abt. What I am pissed abt is that an American sitting in their home will check this story and see terms such as Brahmin or Kshatriya thrown abt without understanding them and then even internalize the harmful notions about these terms and caste in general in both stories abt a bunch of upper-castes freaking out over some goddess ritual.

Be very careful people in what u accept and what u don't bcoz even if it is a game, many non-Desi people may not have the relevant positionality (and that is completely fine!) to understand how the insidious caste sys is being shown and represented by RC. It is being glorified even (ik in the earlier chapters of KCD where Brahmins r shown as saviors of society and keeping Indian society stable when in reality they have done nothing but dehumanize and alienate Dalits for generations) and downplayed and even whitewashed as some trivial division. If RC wanted to publish a story about upper-caste people then pls go ahead but don't you dare whitewash it and glorify the caste sys. When impressionable audiences see all this, it is in their best interest to know the ugly truth about Indian society and not some cheap exotisation of the same. BE BETTER, especially for the Dalits who have suffered so much in South Asia. I am also attaching some material as I would greatly appreciate it if more people knew about the horrors of the caste system and how it plagues Desi society even today.

Discrimination (all types) r shitty and needs to kicked in the balls. Many times, it is subtle and while we may not know much, it is our responsibility to know more and try our best to stop it in whatever way we can.

Thank you for staying and take care y'all.

Age is just a number

Ageing and Wellbeing

©https://www.hunterrehab.com.au/healthy-ageing-what-is-it-and-how-can-i-do-it/

What is ageing?

Did you know that by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or older (WHO, 2024)? This shift known as “population ageing” will double or even triple in numbers by 2050. The wear and tear of the body overtime results in ageing. In scientific speak, it’s the damage in the cellular level over our lifetime. This leads to physical and mental degeneration that slows us down and limits our capacities. The most common impacts of ageing are hearing loss, cataracts, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and depression. These conditions come one at a time or can be experienced altogether which can become very problematic in the long run. For others, ageing is equivalent to life transitions such as retirement, moving to a home facility, or even death of someone they know who is in the same age.

Why is it important to wellbeing?

Ageing is a normal body process, what makes it different though is how we go about it. The environment which we are in impacts how we age. the term healthy ageing or active ageing is the “process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age” (DOH-Victoria, 2024). Aside from genetic factors, conditions we are predisposed to, we can attribute the ageing process to our physical and social environments. As we grow older, we face opportunities and challenges that help us become productive individuals and as members of the society. Having supportive and enabling surroundings affect our health and consequentially our behaviors. If we adapt good health practices such as exercise and proper diet and our communities have provision for good movement, then “healthy ageing” is achievable. Being able to do the things we are used to can uplift spirits and make the ageing process enjoyable for seniors.

Intervention/Exercise

Falls are the number one cause of injuries in older people because of their frailty. These falls are due to slips, trips, and stumbling that lead to serious fractures in the bones or worse, to the head (Vaishya & Vaish, 2020). it is important to provide the elderly with tips to prevent falls from happening. The National Institute on Aging (2022) recommends being physically active and doing regular exercises for stronger muscles and to keep the joints flexible. Doing yoga, lifting weights (as directed) can help in building strength thus preventing falls. There are multiple exercises that are easy for seniors to follow and do such as toe taps, heel raises, knee lifts, wall push-ups and more to keep their body fit and stop falls. Additional tips include Using “assistive device” such as canes or walkers provide stability while walking for the elderly. When used properly and with the right fit, this help stop falls from happening.

Oooo 25 for the music asks?

-Vaish titiro

Back To Before from the musical Ragtime, performed by Marin Mazzie. rest well, Marin. she will always be irreplaceable. <3

Ragtime has a very very special place in my heart. I was a spot op for a community production of it this past summer, and there are no words for how beautiful it was to experience that show. despite being set in the 1910s and written in 1998, the issues that this show covers - police brutality, sexism, racism, antisemitism, anti-immigration, poverty, mistreatment of artists, acknowledgement of privilege, celebrity burnout, the sexualization of younger performers (especially girls), etc - are still so, so relevant today, and my cast could not have done a better job of portraying it. please, if you're reading this, grab a box of tissues and listen to Ragtime.

sorry for the rant, I just have a lot of feelings about Ragtime

Why? This will become clear in understanding the functions of a "Mandir" and of the "Harmandir". Mandir is for the Hindus and by definition; a Hindu is one who knows his Remember that the Four Varnas are related to the Four spiritual states of the soul, HAUMAE, MUNN, BUDHI AND CHITT but today the fanatics are claiming a fifth Takht called Dam Dama Sahib. Yes, there is a fifth Varan called Shankar Varan and it is the Varan of the Super Bastard Fanatic Devils – John 8v44, the religious people of appearances and dead letters who have nothing to do with religion but they are "shameless" sons of Satan creating trouble all over the world. Such fanatics are asked to conceal their tribal identity under the name of the religious community or the other and the Mohammadans are number one in doing so. A product of this Fifth Takht Bhindranwala was neither a Sikh Sewadar of the order of Bhai Ghaniya Ji nor a Khalsa Soldier who have nothing to do with this Holiest of Holy Complex meant for the Sikh Bhagtan and Nirmallae Santan to render praises to our Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. That is why the Foundation Stone of Harmandir Sahib for the Gurmukhs was laid by Pir Mian Mir Ji, a True Merciful Muslim of heart, a Gurmukh Sikh. So, Harmandir Sahib is expected to have Four Doors to preach the Gospel to the people performing the works of all the Four Varnas, professions. Remember that Bhagat Rav Dass Ji was performing the work of SHOODAR VARAN for his living but spiritually He was a Satguru or Christ. Finally, the Four Gates of Harmandir Sahib have nothing to do with the four directions as the directions could be many but such an explanation is good for the people who do not know their Satguru or the Four Advent Candles.

Hey beautiful people, this is going to be a long post yet a very important one. From a Desi (A South Asian) to my fellow Desis and non-Desis (who especially need to hear me out).

I know the popularity of Romance Club as an interactive game. And being a South Asian makes me wanna pick literally any story that represents us. So, I went into RC's stories promising South Asian representation: Kali: Call of Darkness and Kali: Flames of Samsara. Apart from the poor research done on Indian culture which is too niche and trivial to be understood by everyone (relating to Indian languages and North-South differences), there is yet another aspect of Indian society that the game not only completely misrepresents but even whitewashes and this is very harmful to people, especially those with no knowledge of Indian culture, picking up the game to learn smth and that is: CASTE.

While playing the game, I am sure many of u may have come across such terms as 'Brahmin' or 'Kshatriya', 'Vaishya', or even 'Shudra'. And I am sure many of u may even have a rudimentary understanding of the same. This is the caste/ varna (Sanskrit term) that has plagued Indian society for thousands of years. And these terms basically divide desis even today. I especially want non-South Asians to understand that these terms carry a history of violence and discrimation. This was the chaturvarna or the 4 varna/caste sys wherein groups were ranked on their superiority to each other.

Brahmin-Priestly class

Kshatriya-Soldiers/ warriors/kings

Vaishya-merchants and traders

Shudras-Servants/slaves, (the lowest rung on the caste ladder and the most miserable)

Do keep in mind that this is not some class sys similar to feudal Europe or France, but this is CASTE which is very diff from what a non-South Asian may imagine. Notions of purity and pollution guide the caste sys (which may not influence class). A Shudra person was considered impure and hence an 'untouchable' and their mere shadows were considered polluting on the other 3 castes, so much so that they were ghettoized. In South Asia, servile work is generally considered 'polluting' and a complex history of multiple factors relegated this strict division of labourers, In simple lang, a Brahmin priest's son could only be a priest (which was a divine occupation and revered) and a Shudra's son could only do work considered appropriate of his caste which usually translated to things such as manual scavenging (still in India) and servile work considered 'polluting' from which they had no respite. This system was horrible towards Shudras in general as their labour was appropriated by the upper castes for their own gain very similar to how African slave labourers worked at white plantations if I hv to draw a rough comparison. Shudras/Dalits (the term 'Dalit' means broken/oppressed and was given by a Dalit leader and Indian legend Dr. Ambedkar to help uplift this community in Indian society) are subject to not only physical but structural violence. They were barred entry in schools, wells, tanks, roads and literally everywhere since their presence of 'polluting'. Now I have 2 more points:

In RC, I know everyone loves the male leads, and rightly so. But u need to understand that Ratan Vaish and Amrit Doobay won't give a fuck if a Dalit person died in front of them no matter how caring they might be. Since Brahmins were the priestly class, they hegemonized control over Hindu deities and mythology and only they could 'talk' to Gods (according to them ofc and their superiority complex). Amala is a Basu (a Bengali Brahmin surname) and hence both Doobay (again Brahmin) and Vaish (def upper-caste surname) r after her. If Amala was a Dalit, Amrit would hv raped and even killed her (Dalit women and the sexual violence enacted upon them by upper-caste men....again to draw a comparison similar to black women being raped by white men during slavery and jim crow eras: Google Hathras Rape case) and Ratan would have ignored her. We all need to understand that a similar fate would hv befallen Deviya Sharma (again a Brahmin woman) as even she would have been raped and ignored by other Brahmins and upper caste men in the story such as Ram/or Kamal etc. Arhat is likely a Shudra and Deviya will never bat an eyelash at him since his only job is to be in service to her tiger which Deviya probably treats with more respect than she does Arhat. My point is RC is mass producing these stories for the hyper-privileged White people of India i.e. the upper castes and that is Brahmins and Kshatriyas and Vaishyas. Dalits have rarely been entertained in representation much less in India than in abroad. But that is not what I am pissed abt. What I am pissed abt is that an American sitting in their home will check this story and see terms such as Brahmin or Kshatriya thrown abt without understanding them and then even internalize the harmful notions about these terms and caste in general in both stories abt a bunch of upper-castes freaking out over some goddess ritual.

Be very careful people in what u accept and what u don't bcoz even if it is a game, many non-Desi people may not have the relevant positionality (and that is completely fine!) to understand how the insidious caste sys is being shown and represented by RC. It is being glorified even (ik in the earlier chapters of KCD where Brahmins r shown as saviors of society and keeping Indian society stable when in reality they have done nothing but dehumanize and alienate Dalits for generations) and downplayed and even whitewashed as some trivial division. If RC wanted to publish a story about upper-caste people then pls go ahead but don't you dare whitewash it and glorify the caste sys. When impressionable audiences see all this, it is in their best interest to know the ugly truth about Indian society and not some cheap exotisation of the same. BE BETTER, especially for the Dalits who have suffered so much in South Asia. I am also attaching some material as I would greatly appreciate it if more people knew about the horrors of the caste system and how it plagues Desi society even today.

Discrimination (all types) r shitty and needs to kicked in the balls. Many times, it is subtle and while we may not know much, it is our responsibility to know more and try our best to stop it in whatever way we can.

Thank you for staying and take care y'all.

offboarding

1am KST [Feb 15] // 11am EST [Feb 14]

i will not lie to you all. everything after getting off the plane was hell. after toddling my way to temperature check with my oversized carry on bags, i was told my temp was .2 degrees too high, which was a conversation between me and a very enthusiastic man who did not speak enough english to understand me, and i not enough korean to understand him. he waved me past to the check in desks anyway, where two women told me to cool down before they tried my temperature again.

only one of the people in my group managed to clear the temp check, and they waved goodbye as the rest of us four fanned ourselves and tried not to overheat anymore. this was very difficult because we are four clowns that will laugh at literally anything, and apparently that raises your blood heat or something. idk. doctor vaish when you read this please fact check because regardless, not a single one of us managed to pass that temp check, all of us with a temperature about .1 degree too high. yeah, they’re THAT strict here. so, off we went to get another covid test.

there is something to be said about how endearing everyone here is in their attempts to communicate. my friends and their americanisms flew straight over the heads of mostly anyone that was trying to talk to us, and so the workers would often type out their responses into papago and show us the english translation on their phone so we’d know what they were trying to tell us. for four bumbling idiots, it was very nice that everyone in that airport tried their best not to let us flail as much as we accidentally insisted on doing.

when we finally got everything done, we prepared to be sent to a little holding facility next to the airport to wait for our covid results. they gave us little bulgogi burgers as dinner, and of course, i immediately dropped mine. this poor hazmat suit worker immediately dropped to the ground to get it for me, and it truly looked like he was proposing to me with a burger. day one in korea, and the men are already falling at my feet. who’s doing it like me? hah. hah. ha. ;_;

the airport holding facility is something akin to a very white collar jail cell. nykeia called it a martha stewart cell when she saw it through facetime and i suppose she’s right. it’s extremely sparse, but there’s a cot, a clean bathroom, a desk, and a tv. as far as holding cells go, it’s quite nice. they have anyone waiting on a test result stay here overnight while the swabs get processed, and if you’re negative, you return to the airport and are finally deposited to your two week quarantine hotel.
