And where you walk?

Partition hots?
Think of blind spots.
Is it the hole
Seen from the pole?

Partition pangs?
Come, see the gangs.
Nostalgic words
are making swords.

Your fantasy, posited from the centre of cultural
understanding, is unheimlich. Desired and dreaded. I
read it as a drive lodged in your heart, which also
tears Gujarat.

You posit, Jyotsna, a "leaning-on"
(anaclesis/anhelung). your outpouring. I am not sure:
has "intersubjectivity" become such a fetish in
America that it actually, coldly, evokes the reduction
of regions of being to an incapacity to re-memory?

The Partition is a hole into which has flowed, and
still irresolvably flows, the excesses of passion.
(Constructed in the first place; made by the "men" who
"fought" for Independence. Today, narcissistically
reproduced in a "national" un-official army that does
not care a jot for religion or spirituality but
believes that the future belongs to it, must belong to
it.) The ethic of a "responsibility to otherness" is
passe, after America-Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine,
Gujarat-India. Stop effetely deconstructing, stop
believing that language is world-disclosing.

If you must act via language, switch your ethic.
Consider the "responsibility to act". Start
reconstructing. You are in the "omphalos" of the
contemporary world. You can.

But of course your capacity to coordinate action is
reduced to the "racialized, patriarchal politics" of
tenure.

Take some classes in India. Why don't you come back to
India and teach children some english? They need it,
to get good jobs.

Take on some classes in India. Why don't you come back
to India and teach children some alternative ideology?
They need it, to get the job you've now got.
