Can you remember the quickening of your heart? Your excitement at finding someone who cared about the same issues and communities? For most of us, the moment we realized we weren’t alone in the world, struggling against the conservative expectations of our parents, aunties and uncles - when we realized that we had sisters and brothers in the cause who understand where we come from and where we wanted this world to go - was life-changing.

Reflections from the Camps: CYDRPhoto by: Rajya Karipineni/CYDROne of my favorite parts of CDYR was the workshop on South Asian history with professors Shefali Chandra and Junaid Rana. We discussed everything from Partition and Hindu nationalism to settler-colonialism and ISIS. These were topics that I was somewhat familiar with, but I had never explored them with a South Asian lens. Especially during the timing of the retreat when the Israeli war on Gaza was occurring, it was fascinating to learn about how the partition of South Asia was engineered by the same white imperialists who created the state of Israel.

Rupali Ghosh provides a review of Himanjali Sankar'sTalking of Muskaan, a recently published novel about sexuality and coming of age for young adult readers. Read more... Read more... Over one weekend in August 2015, three South Asian American youth camps took place across the US:Bay Area Solidarity Summer(BASS) in Oakland, CA,Chicago Desi Youth Rising(CDYR)in Chicago, ILandEast Coast Solidarity Summer(ECSS) in New York City, NY. In an effort to collaborate long-distance, camp organizers asked the youth participants to collectively define three key concepts at the beginning and end of their camp expereinces. Below is a summary along with reflections on the camp experience. Read more... You are not meeting my eyes. They are beneath the cloth I wear on my head, actually. No, I am from America. Yes, it is called a hijab. No, this cloth is not hijab. Hijab is not a covering, a hiding-away, a flinching-back. It is a coming-out, a blazing-through. Hijab is not here for you to fetishize taking it off with your fingers/armies/democracy. Hijab is suffering for democracy. Read more... Ahalya Satkunaratnam reflects on how the stories of elders in the website,Iam.lk assist in complicating identity in Sri Lanka and how this site provides a discussion of national history and personal belonging that circumvents hostility that often accompanies web-based discussions of identity, the nation and the war. Glimpses of a Muslim Childhood Noor Hasan | September 21, 2014 Sajda You are not meeting my eyes. They are beneath the cloth I wear on my head, actually. No, I am from America. Yes, it is called a hijab. No, this cloth is not hijab. Hijab is not a covering, a hiding-away, a flinching-back. It is a coming-out, a blazing-through. Hijab is not here for you to fetishize taking it off with your fingers/armies/democracy. Hijab is suffering for democracy. How can an event be at once ordinary and extraordinary, simultaneously decisive and indecisive? The victory of Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Indian parliamentary elections of 2014 is indeed a watershed moment; for the first time in the history of independent India, it will be ruled exclusively by a Hindu supremacist party. And yet, a careful look at the way the Modi/BJP campaign produced this victory yields a picture that can only be characterized as simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary, decisive and indecisive. In 2006 and 2007, I spent several months in Ahmedabad while on a fellowship from my university in the US. During my time in Ahmedabad, I interacted with the mostly-Hindu NGO staff where I was based, residents of the largely Hindu shantytown where the NGO was working, and professors at Gujarat University. Less than five years had passed since the city had gone through its nightmare: vicious riots involving saffron-clad men entering urban neighborhoods and brutalizing, gang-raping, and burning other human beings. Some 1,500 Muslims were killed. Policing Sex By: The SAMAR Collective | From: Issue 42: Policing Sex (3/24/2014) This issue on Policing Sex explores the wider context of the criminalization of homosexuality in India, as well as visions put forth to challenge heterosexism, the police state, and misogyny. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's poems evoke borders of bodies and nation. Sabelo Narasimhan reflects on this year's Gay Pride parade in Bombay, India. In the wake of the recent judgement criminalizing homosexuality, the images in this photoessay reveal the unbounded spirit of rebellion and resistance of the community. Radio Samar Tracks Back Home Naazneen Diwan, Taz Ahmed Live reading of poem developed for the South Asians for Justice event "Gujarat Genocide and US Solidarity" in Los Angeles, April 2012 Asia Pacific Forum (APF) is the progressive pan-Asian radio show broadcast every Monday night from WBAI 99.5 FM in New York City and live on the web.

Action for a Progressive Pakistan An organization of diverse individuals, who advocate for a stable, democratic Pakistan without army rule or US intervention and with equal rights for all. Questions for Saru Jayaraman of Restaurant Opportunities Center - New York (ROC-NY) My Name is Khan...and I am not a terrorist is the already ubiquitous chorus from the most recent Bollywood blockbuster to cross over to western audiences. The film seeks to engage American anxieties around nationalism and race and at the same time reveals similar commentaries about India. Omer Shah reviews the film and asks: are we ever able to construct Muslim identities without the notion of terrorist? Jan 28, 2011 Terrors Old and New | Issue 14: The South Asian American Generation (//) Jan 28, 2011 Good Mutants, Bad Mutants Ali Mir | Issue 19: Relief in a Time of Crisis (1/24/2005) The good mutants work in spaces servicing the global economy. The bad ones want to destroy freedom, democracy, free markets. New mutations are arising in the politics of fear and the War on Terror.
On the morning of my sixth or seventh Eid,
My mother dressed me in white Pakistani robes,
Holding my hand gently
As we walked through the bright wooden gates
Of the Islamic Community Center by our house.
I had not yet learned how to pray.
But my mother taught me how to bow in sajda,
The devotion of pressing one’s forehead
To the ground to feel smaller than God
has made you,
to feel as grounded
as feet.
As I lifted my forehead
from the carpeted floor of the mosque, Untitled Shireen Hamza | April 17, 2015
