I teach in a majority South Asian community and I’ve learned so much this year about micro aggressions toward Indian students (one colleague told me that students will ask you to change their grade bc “bartering is part of their culture” - jfc). I deeply appreciate your thoughts here.
I've just come across your substack page and I am so grateful that I have. this is a beautiful essay and it makes me so happy to see a fellow Indian creator on here! As you were talking about in your "insta poetry" essay, you have not only a musicality to your writing- but also an evident amount of care put into each word, making even your prose seem like poetry ❤️
Thank you for writing such an on-point essay. It is greatly appreciated (as a white woman who shares your concerns even if they are not my direct experience).
