YouTube - Symposium ON VIOLENCE: Geoffroy de Lagasnerie – MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST

Watch Geoffroy de in March 2019:
"What describes itself as non-violent [militancy often] is the sacrificial acceptance of one's own exposure to state violence and the preservation of state violence."

"What is the point of saying that the institutions are legitimate if not of furnishing oneself with a clean conscience, of justifying the state's repressive apparatus?"

Political rhetoric cannot be ignorant of ground realities. It is bound to come undone when based on fiction rather than fact. The Bharatiya Janata Party’s spin on Jammu and Kashmir is a case in point.
