Talk:Banu Subramaniam
Banu Subramaniam is a Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, as of November 2022[1]. According to her profile, her research explores the philosophy, history, and culture of the natural sciences and medicine as they relate to gender, race, ethnicity, and caste.
In 2021, she endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference and made the allegation
"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."[2]
