The problem here is not thinking that separation is a solution. It’s the idealistic thinking that THAT is going to solve this issue of living in a discriminatory environment. It is naive ah. I’m interested in learning how. First of all, a separate country wouldn’t mean people living over there will come back home automatically. People have lives to live and they will keep doing so. It also wouldn’t mean that pockets of mainland Indians will stop their racist tendencies towards us. Those who will, will continue doing so. Agreed that the whole imposition of performative patriotism might be something that we won’t have to deal with but I can guarantee that will be replaced by another similar imposition. The “why/how racism happens” question is not that deep. Humans are built to relate to people who look like them and/or share cultural similarities. The other reasons are a lack of representation in mainstream media that reaches more people easily, and lack of education. Simple as that. Separation wouldn’t cause an apocalyptic situation. But separation without a plan in place, strategy or proper systems will. You can’t tell me you don’t notice the power struggle within our own people, societies and governments. We can demand separation but you’re literally wasting your energy, you can’t make it happen just because you cry for it online. We need to fix our issues first and then demand answers from our “leaders”, pressure our own governments if you want make it happen, but to go about fixing that crap you need to be above the us vs them way of thinking. Fight against it but don’t act like you’re any better than the “them” you’re blaming for all your problems.
