Is Identity Politics A New Threat To The World? Speak Your Mind
-
- News Commentary
Unfortunately, the term “identity politics” has been weaponized. It is most often used by leaders to describe politics as practiced by members of historically marginalized groups. But if you’re black and you're worried about police brutality, that’s identity politics. If you’re a woman and you’re worried about the male-female pay gap, that’s identity politics. With a quick sleight of hand, identity becomes something that only marginalized groups have.
It has also been used to diminish and discredit the concerns of the weaker groups by making them look self-interested, special pleading in order to clear the agenda for the concerns of stronger groups, which are framed as more rational, proper topics for political debate.
So, to know about the growing identity politics in the world which has become a new threat, please listen to the 12th episode of our podcast.
Speakers: Suvechchha Chapagain, Ankur Shrestha, Manish Jung Pulami, Suchita Gurung, Sandhya Nepal, Prakash Maharjan
