Abstract

ABSTRACT The connection between the recolonization of India’s economy through neoliberal reforms and the re-emergence of rhetoric around Khalistan during the farmers’ protest in Delhi are examined in this article. Despite the use of humanistic principles based on the Sikh tradition during the protest to draw attention to issues around food and land insecurity, lack of education, and poverty the Indian state creates phantasmagoria around the issue of Khalistan to enact economic liberalization while, counterintuitively, destabilizing its democratic institutions. I argue that the Delhi Morcha requires the dynamics of religion, politics, and violence in democracies needs to be rethought.
民主抗议的暴力-非暴力二元对立:幻象、古斯基和卡尔萨主权
本文考察了印度经济通过新自由主义改革的再殖民化与德里农民抗议期间围绕卡利斯坦的言论重新出现之间的联系。尽管在抗议活动中使用了基于锡克教传统的人道主义原则,以引起人们对粮食和土地不安全、缺乏教育和贫困等问题的关注,但印度政府在卡利斯坦问题上制造了幻觉,以实施经济自由化,同时,与直觉相反,破坏了其民主制度的稳定。我认为德里Morcha需要重新思考民主国家的宗教、政治和暴力动态。
