| > Speaking as someone who has heritage in a former European colony India was a european colony for sure. One of the most accomodating, willing and slavish ones at that. But india was never a european settler colony. Settler being the key word. > American political science is obsessed with settler colonialism. What do you know of american political science? What do you know about being an american? If I go to india and buy citizenship today, would that make me an expert in indian politics? > Herego, every conflict distills through that lens. Herego, therego, uh oh.. Ergo? Every conflict doesn't distil through that lens. Who ever claimed that american war on iraq or afghanistan was settler colonialism? Nobody. Who claims the russian-ukraine war is settler colonialism? Even with israel, nobody talks of it as a genocidal settler colony. At least not here in america. Maybe in india, but you'd know more about that than me. > Are there elements of this conflict that mirror that dynamic? Israel literally was created for that purpose. To settle europeans in palestine. An indian zionist apologist. One does wonder why there are so manys indian in american politics all of a sudden. |
