Isimo esivela kwiHymn yempelaveki. (YouTube)
Ibhendi yaseBritane uColdplay kutsha nje ikhuphe ividiyo engacaciswanga eIndiya ngengoma yayo, iHymn yempelaveki, kwaye kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa yavuselela umva. Abagxeki abaninzi bathatha le vidiyo njengolwabiwo lwenkcubeko.
Inenjongo yokuba ngumhobe weklabhu yasebusuku kakhulu, ikwayara yengoma ibhiyozela ukuziva unxilile kwaye uphakamile-uvakalelo olungenanto yakwenza nokuqhelisela ubuHindu. Kodwa nantsi ingongoma ebalulekileyo: Ividiyo ayisiyiyo kangako malunga neIndiya njengoko injalo ngobuHindu. Yile nto ingobuHindu obugqithisileyo kwaye ayisiyiyo eyokukhuphela ngaphandle iIndiya ekhathazayo nenenkohliso yokwenene ngale vidiyo iphosakeleyo. Kwimizuzwana yokuqala engama-30 kuphela siphathwa kolu luhlu lwemifanekiso ilandelayo: ipikoko emhlophe eyilungisiweyo kwitempile eyonakeleyo, ingekho enye kodwa iiseti ezimbini zamadoda angcwele avalwe ngesafroni (enye yazo ihlawulisa) unxibe njenge Shiva, kunye nokuvalwa kweminwe chiming jalra (amacangci eminwe adumileyo asetyenziswa xa kuthandazwa). Ukubukela le vidiyo, sinokuxolelwa ngokukholelwa ukuba i-India lilizwe lamaHindu kuphela, ilizwe apho isithethe esinxilisayo samaHindu siqhuma mihla le kwizitrato zaseMumbai.
Kwabo kuthi baqhelene nembali yaseMumbai- kunye neIndiya- kunye nobundlobongela bobuzwe bamaHindu, lo mfanekiso uphethe intsingiselo emnyama. Ngelixa bobabini amaHindu namaSilamsi babulawa ngokumasikizi ngexesha leziganeko ezoyikisayo eMumbai phakathi kukaDisemba 1992 noJanuwari 1993, abo babebizwa ngokuba zizidubedube bavulwa ikakhulu ukuphendula ubuHindu bobuzwe be-mosque eyimbali eyakholelwa ukuba yakhiwe phezu kwamaHindu amandulo. indawo engcwele. Xa abahlali abangamaHindu babulawa kuqhankqalazo olwajika lwaba nobundlobongela, iqela elibizwa ngokuba yiShiv Sena (iShiva's Army) kuthiwa laququzelela amaqela okuziphindezela ukuze aqhube oko abanye bakuchaze njengokubulawa kwabantu ngamaSilamsi. Abantu bahlaselwa ngeesabers kwaye batshiswa ezitratweni. 
I-AHMEDABAD, INDIA: Lo mfanekiso uthathwe nge-28 kaFebruwari 2002 ubonakalisa umhlali wase-Ahmedabad uJaiwantiben ebukele imarike yeenkuni evuthayo emva kokutshiswa ngamaSilamsi abaleka kwindawo yaseLathi bazar e-Ahmedabad. (Ifoto: SEBASTIAN D'SOUZA / AFP / imifanekiso kaFetty)
Ubundlobongela abuzange buqale okanye buphele eMumbai kodwa buyaqhubeka nanamhlanje. Inkulumbuso yase-India u-Narendra Modi wakhonza umphathiswa oyintloko wase-Gujarat ngexesha loqhushululu kunye nokubulawa kwabantu ngo-2002 okushiye abantu abamalunga ne-1 000 — uninzi lwabo ingamaSilamsi — beswelekile. Kunyaka nje ophelileyo, umfundisi wamaHindu wakhuthaza amaHindu ukuba ahlasele indoda engumSilamsi ngenxa yokuxhelwa kwenkomo ukuze itye. Ngelixa u-Modi ngokwakhe engazange afumaneke ukuba ubandakanyeke ngokuthe ngqo ekuvuseleleni okanye ekwenziweni kwezidubedube zase-Gujarat, abaphathi bakhe bahlala betyholwa ngokujonga kwelinye icala xa amaSilamsi ehlaselwe okanye xa abakwinqanaba eliphantsi kwinqanaba likarhulumente kwezopolitiko zakhe. iqela licalule okanye lixhokonxe ubundlobongela kumaSilamsi.
Ingxaki yokunganyamezelani eIndiya ayiphelelanga kubundlobongela phakathi kobuzwe bamaHindu namaSilamsi. I-Indiya inembali eqhubekayo yobundlobongela be-caste-iingxelo zeendaba kunyaka ophelileyo zodwa zixela usapho lakwa-Dalit olutshisiweyo luphila, inkwenkwe ebuleweyo, yabantu abakumgangatho ophezulu abakhokela udushe olunobundlobongela ngakumapolisa kwilizwe liphela ngenxa yokuhlasela ama-Dalits eqinisekisa amalungelo abo. Kukhangeleka ngathi ucalucalulo oludala kunye nokholo olusekwe kusenokwenzeka ukuba luguqula ubundlobongela bohlanga-kule veki nje, ibhinqa eliselula laseTanzania lahlaselwa sisihlwele esasinomsindo kwisixeko sobuchwephesha esinobuchule nenkululeko. Isafroni ehlanjwe ngesafroni e-India ayisiyiyo kuphela eyabonisa ukungafani okwenyani kwe-India, ikhuthaza ukucinywa okuqhubekayo kwabantu abancinci baseIndiya kunye nabantu abacinezelweyo.
Kungenzeka ukuba iColdplay ayiqhelani nokwanda nokwanda kweefiss kuluntu lwangoku lwamaIndiya, iintanda ezihlala zivulekile ukuginya abemi baseIndiya ngenkohlakalo nangogonyamelo ezandleni zamaHindu aphakamileyo. Kuya kufuneka bacetyiswe ukuba izigcawu zabafana abadanisa ezitalatweni belahla endle zikwanombono wemifanekiso yamahlokondiba anxanelwe igazi, ubuso babo bunemibala ebomvu, belandela abamelwane babo.
Kuyaqondakala ukuba iyantlukwano yokwenyani yeIndiya ayinakufakwa kwividiyo yomculo wepop yemizuzu emine. Kodwa ikwalilizwe elixineneyo kwimigangatho yokuzibamba kunye nokugcina ubundlobongela obuhlukanisayo.
Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka bayazi ingxaki yangoku yase-India ekuphenduleni ubundlobongela obujoliswe kwabasetyhini. Njengokuba kuye kwavela okokoko ukudlwengulwa kwemigulukudu nokubulawa komfazi omncinci eDelhi ngo-2012 kunye namatyala odlwengulo alandelayo, ubundlobongela obuphathelele kwezesondo kunye nokudlwengulwa akugcini nje ngokuxhaphaka kodwa kuyangxengxezelwa ngoosopolitiki abathi batyhole abafazi abafuna ukufunda, basebenze. kwaye bahambe ngokukhululekileyo kwilizwe labo. Kwaye okwangoku, ividiyo ibonakalisa ulandelelwano apho umqhubi weprojektha yefilimu ekroba ngefestile kumfanekiso kaBeyonce egcwala kwiscreen. Eli candelo lithethelela ngokuthe cwaka inkcubeko yokudlwengula echaza kwaye ivala ubuninzi bobomi babasetyhini e-India namhlanje.
Andithethi ukuba ngocoselelo ndigxothe amaxhala malunga ne-Orientalism kunye nolwabiwo lwenkcubeko. Abafazi ababhinqileyo baseIndiya ikakhulu kwimimandla ye-diasporic bachaze ukuba abafazi abamhlophe banokuzihombisa nge-bindis kunye ne-mehndi, kwaye banxibe ubucwebe be-Indian kunye ne-saris ngaphandle kweziphumo zobungcali okanye ezentlalontle, ngelixa abafazi base Mzantsi Asia, ngakumbi abafuduki abatsha okanye abasebenzi abakumgangatho ophakathi, abakwazi. Uninzi luza kuthi gqi kwibhendi yase-Bhritane, isiya kwimpelaveki eyoyikekayo e-India, ngenxa yobukoloniyali obude nobunobundlobongela base-Asia. Kodwa kukho imiba enzulu kwaye ibanzi ekudlaleni.
I-Indiya sisizwe esikhulu nesintsonkothileyo — abantu baso bazizityebi ngokumangalisayo kwaye bahlupheke kakhulu, bafundile kakhulu kwaye abafundanga ngokubanzi, bayakholelwa ngokunzulu kwaye abakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo, banomdla wokuzigcina kwaye banenkqubela phambili. Kuyaqondakala ukuba iyantlukwano yokwenene yelizwe ayinakufakwa kwividiyo yomculo wepop yemizuzu emine. Kodwa ikwalilizwe elixineneyo kwimigangatho yokuzibamba kunye nokugcina ubundlobongela obuhlukanisayo. Kweli nqanaba, i-India ifuna ukumelwa kunye nabalingane abavela kwamanye amazwe abanokuxhasa ukunyamezelana, kwaye ngubani oqondayo ukuba i-India ingaphezulu kwe-phantasmagoria yamaHindu enesafron, kodwa ilizwe leenkolelo ezininzi kunye noluntu oluzama ukuzibona-kwaye zibonwe-njengomntu omnye.
