| Noise! Some Readers Are Alarmed That "Signs Of The Times" Might Be Sexist, Racist, and Foreign! |
|
 | Bro, some readers want me to be more assertive, take on more battles, wear a sari, and you and I to be a shade darker... | |
|
| Sis! You are lovely just the way you are. I have seen a lot of encouraging, accepting readers, and some critical ones too. There is something to learn from every encounter. I have no doubt that you and I will charge in many battles! | |

| ...Not to Say Anything About Being Boring, Verbose And Pointless! |
|
| Hinduphobia is not just an Indian phenomenon - it manifests widely from the streets of NYC to the churches of Kanyakumari. Educating interlocuters and deconstructing their biases and hypocrisy is urgently needed, and should be everyone's battle. | |
|
| Indeed! And Indic people are of all shades - the very fair to the very dark. Calling out a preferred shade doesn't sound right. | |

| Will Our Brave Indic Professionals Prevail: Stay Tuned... |
|
| And Hindus today range from light-skinned Western Hindus to dark-skinned African Hindus to all shades in between. Not all of them wear saris or kurta-pyjama or veshti and angavastram. We should be careful not to alienate our own people by projecting our biases on what is "Indic" or "Hindu". | |
|
| Couldn't have said it better, Sis. I hope our readers will support our battles against Hinduphobia with greater acceptance and understanding... | |
