The article discusses the intersection of anti-Black racism and caste trauma among diasporic South Asians in the U.S. It emphasizes how casteism, often hidden under euphemisms, coincides with anti-Blackness, leading to compounded traumas. The author argues that the experiences of South Asians cannot be detached from the Black experience, especially in a racially charged society. Furthermore, it highlights the responsibility of dominant-caste South Asians to acknowledge and confront these intersecting oppressions and the implications for mental health recovery, urging a collective regaining of emotional sovereignty.
In South Asia, casteism mingles with anti-Black racism, creating compounded traumas that demand urgent addressing within diasporic South Asian communities.
Caste and anti-Black racism are intertwined in America, where dominant-caste South Asians often perpetuate systemic inequities instead of confronting them.
