It's not a 'Jai Ho summer' when brown people are facing death threats

In late July and early August , most of England and parts of Northern Ireland have witnessed widespread racist violence following the murder of three little girls — Bebe King, six , Elsie Dot Stancombe , seven , and Alice Dasilva Aguiar , nine in Southport .

Many people who practise Islam and/or are brown have been verbally and physically assaulted on the streets and on social media.

At a time when brown people feel threatened in the UK , several caucasian creators have brought back the 2009 Pussycat Dolls version of the Hindi song " Jai Ho ", recorded for the controversial Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire.

Several users have criticised brown people for overreacting or dramatising a "fun trend" into a political statement.

This tendency to silence cries against racism and instead label them as overly sensitive is rooted in British history.

Since time immemorial, the UK has gaslit us by reframing racism as minor disagreements.
