Also, I guess you and I must move in different music circles, as there are a bunch of established brown bands that were never featured in Sepia Mutiny (possibly because they don't hip-hop or play alternative- type music :)). E.g. Vedic metal pioneers Rudra, who have been playing for almost 20 years and released 7 albums so far. Then there's Deux Ex Machina, Moksha, Parikrama, Silman Marak etc.</p> Taz, you missed out on Kim Thayil, guitar player for Soundgarden, who was another Brown person on stage in the 90s.

Its so bad they don't even manage to sound Irish, which is what most fake patoisers end up sounding like.</p> <p>Hey Ram! I feel I must take snan fully clothed 108 times in the Ganga to clear my mindscape from this horrific samskara.</p> Bwahahahahhahahahaha!

Its more like, "oooh India is so mystical and pure. They worship women and are so holy. Maybe we be fortunate enough to be born there in our next life. India rules, we love desis and its politically incorrect to suggest they might be as fucked up as anyone else, if not more".</p> They all pretty much suck.

I cannot put into words how much this community has meant to me. It has allowed me to articulate a texture to my pride in being a South Asian American. And as a mixed Desi-American, the Mutiny let me participate in and identify with my roots in a way that I had never been able to do before. I started reading in 2004 when I felt too shy to join in, but slowly I remembered that I too belong to the South Asian community both here and in real life. I can't say anything else except "thank you" and "this will be missed." I hope you all choose to maintain the site without updating it so that all of us shy lurkers have a touchstone to return to. Thank you thank you thank you.</p> I haven’t commented in years, due to a demanding work schedule and more restrictive internet use ;0) but I have continued reading on a regular basis.

You have no idea how much I am going to miss this space, even if many of us haven’t spoken up here in later years as we used to. That it is was ever here has changed the world.

  • “Paper Planes” by M.I.A.
  • “Fake Patois” by Das Racist.
  • “Gold Spot” by Friday – not sure if I discovered this on SM.
  • Slumdog Millionaire – I became aware of this film just before reading about it on SM. Slumdog Millionaire is the Hipster’s idealization of India, and it’s their excuse on why they think their knowledge and practice of Eastern philosophy is more intellectuallly and spiritually pure than what we do.
  • India’s economic growth and Pakistan’s implosion (and perhaps subsequent stabilization)
  • Racist ads or politicians (i.e. George Allen ‘macaca’)

    • You guys had a way of liberating my inner Malcolm X. When these hipsters here in Boston, with their Om sign and yoga pants, disdain me because I wasn’t born in a refugee camp or I don’t plan (or have the inclination/ability) to attend Harvard to study Hinduism (after all, tenured professors know more about Hinduism than those Indians who do hipsterish things).

    Also, let me eulogize on SM one more: I didn’t realize that there were commonalities in experience, views, etc. amongst all of us American-Raised-Indians.
