“…: 65). By the 1960s, the rent strikes had received a new lease of life owing to the civil rights movement, with even Martin Luther King pushing the issue of housing inequality (Krishnamurthy, 2022: 328). Wide‐scale tenants organizations had sprung up across New York, which led to innovative forms of organizing strikes, including the rolling rent strikes (Lawson, 1984).…”

In this article I look into the weakening state of housing justice in India, especially in the context of the Covid‐19 pandemic and increased state violence. I ask how and why housing rights in India have mostly remained limited in their approach without being able to demand broader access to the city through right to the city discourse. In trying to find answers to this question, I examine housing rights activism in India historically. I show how, while some movements and campaigns organically began to make such broader claims without even invoking the term ‘right to the city’, these efforts were short‐lived and those spaces were taken up by policymakers and courts. In this article I trace how a relative absence of a political language and movements’ growing proximity to the policy world has shaped a very particular trajectory of housing rights in India. Within the context of this relative absence of a right to the city discourse even quiet encroachments of the poor have failed to claim their moral right to the city. In this moment, as the Indian state takes a more hostile turn towards the poor and to civil‐society organizations, I argue that it may be time to rethink ways of bringing back housing to the centre of political struggles in India.

“…Genuine anti-racism distinguishes between warranted and unwarranted fear, and preaches how fear can be turned into fearlessness, as Martin Luther King advocated. 12 In the case of hinduphobia, the imagined fear of Hindus in the diaspora is unwarranted. 13 First, feeling attacked as a Hindu whenever someone criticises an aspect or social practice associated with a Hindu way of life, is premised on treating that practice as necessary or unique to being a Hindu.…”

The Concurrence of Anti‐Racism and Anti‐Casteism

The article considers three interlocking ways in which we can understand the concurrence of anti‐racism and anti‐casteism in the Indian diaspora. First, at the level of experience—of UK activists and campaigners—it has been found that the concurrence of anti‐racism and anti‐casteism is not conclusively determined at this level. Second, by a juxtaposition of the conceptual apparatus of ‘caste’ and ‘race’ the article considers the fault lines—illuminating or obfuscating—that appear in conceptualising anti‐casteism as a form of anti‐racism. Here, the sociality of caste is found to be important, the operation of racialisation underpinning anti‐racist practice. Finally, by considering the legal apparatus available in a given jurisdiction (UK), the article evaluates the feasibility of measures that might facilitate the actualising of anti‐casteism as a form of anti‐racism through the practice of litigation to allow a pragmatic capturing of the experience of casteism as a form of racism.
