In their new book, Nishant Upadhyay unravels Indian diasporic complicity in its ongoing colonial relationship with Indigenous peoples, lands, and nations in Canada. Upadhyay examines the interwoven and simultaneous areas of dominant Indian caste complicity in processes of settler colonialism, antiblackness, capitalism, brahminical supremacy, Hindu nationalism, and heteropatriarchy.

Join us for a book talk in conversation with Sanober Umar, Associate Professor of Politics at York University and Pamila Matharu, independent artist, educator and cultural producer.
