THE POTENTIAL FOR ADVERSARIAL/ANTAGONISITC POLITICAL POSITIONS TO INTERACT OR TUSSLE ONLINE

PROJECT DETAILS

These three meme images display the potential for adversarial/antagonisitc political positions to interact or tussle online – ‘Liberals’ and ‘Bhakts’ (an epithet commonly used online for supporters of Hindu nationalism) deploy a template drawn from classroom posters of the 1980’s aimed at inculcating ‘good habits’ in the ‘adarsh balak’ (ideal habits) to mock each other as ‘ideal Liberals’ or ‘ideal Bhakts’ while the third meme speaks from an Ambedkarite position to critique the dismissal of structural issue of caste as a relic of the past by Left-Liberals
