Identity Politics (Urdu)

Since the 1980s, the traditional views of the left (dominated by Marxist parties) was challenged by the New Left and Post-Modernism. This lead to the emergence of issue-based identity-politics that was supported by civil-society, NGOs, and also scores of young people educated in the West in the last three decades. This new politics has had a huge influence not in fracturing and destroying the left in the West but also impacting struggles in Pakistan.
In this video I examine three core themes of identity politics - axis of privilege, authenticity, and anti-essentialism - and show how these ideas result in a mass of interminable self-contradictions and self-defeating strategies.
P.S. Apologies to my followers from abroad. I will upload an English version asap.

This video is literally marvellous. I was way too confused about the identity politics of modern western feminists and other issues like gender is a spectrum. It made me clear to a large extent. Thank you sir..!

Dr Rahman - this was a brilliant breakdown of identity politics and the concept of post modernism . A very difficult topic to explain and grasp yet you do this very well. I say this as someone who doesn’t not agree with Marxism or many aspects of socialism that you profess to. Carry on your great work . An avid admirer from London .

[@qasimsadra6271]

A rich lecture to the extent one can imagine.

[@swapnavasavdatta379]

Biggest confusion of subcontinent can be understood if not resolved through this. Casteism in India and it's reaction are revolving in these circles.
