South Asia's Historic Relationship with Love and Sexuality

This fear of Westernization is prevalent amongst South Asian immigrants; even now, I can remember how after coming home from school, my ‘Britishness’ was often left at the front door. The conflict of inheriting the collectivist culture of India versus growing up in the individualist culture of England often led to confusion and sadness as I grew up and became more aware of my place in society.

Decolonizing Love

I hate that the labelling of the white male patriarch as “chauvinist pig” provided a convenient scapegoat for their sexism. I hate how they cannot admit that the work of decolonization requires that they must also let go of their own patriarchal way of thinking and loving. I hate how they can scream “down with white supremacy!” but cannot be pro-woman in their everyday interactions.
