Challenges to C itizenship in South Asia: \;Decolonizing Citizenship in South Asia


In recent years\,\nauthoritarian regimes across South Asia have\ndenied rights and citizenship to religious and ethnic minoritie s or forcibly\nannexed populations and territories through the disproporti onate use of\nmilitary power. \; While the war against\nCOVID-19 has\, in many instances\, intensified the suppression of racial and\nreligious minorities\, the causes and outcomes of a planetary pandemic cannot be\npl aced outside the context of long-standing patterns of resource use\,\nenvi ronmental degradation\, militarization\, war\, and occupation. \; This webinar will examine how the political\nconsequences of the pandemic in I ndia\,\nPakistan\, Kashmir\, and Bangladesh\nmight be related to histories of dispossession and forced displacement\,\nracialization and religious d iscrimination\, climate change\, and the extractive\neconomies related to war and occupation. \;\nHow do statelessness\, authoritarianism\, and militarization pose a\nveritable challenge to our abilities to imagine wor lds of equality\, health\, and\njustice? \; At the same time\, how can \nquestions of environmental\, social\, and political justice become key t o\nenvisioning post-pandemic futures? \; This\nwebinar is co-sponsored by the Syracuse\nUniversity’s South Asia Center and the Moynihan Institut e of\nGlobal Affairs. \; The speakers are Maira\nHayat (Stanford)\, Na vine Murshid (Colgate)\, Mehroosh Tak (University of London)\,\nand Navyug Gill (William Patterson) with Mona Bhan\, Ford Maxwell Professor of\nSout h Asian Studies at Syracuse University\, as moderator.
