Censorship Original research date May 2011 Refimprove date May 2011 Claims of Media bias in SouthAsia attract constant attention. The question of bias in South Asian media is also of great interest to people living outside of SouthAsia. Some accusations of media bias are motivated by a disinterested desire for truth, some are politically motivated. Media bias occurs in television, newspapers, school books and other media. Malaysia The usage of the Malaysian Internal Security Act on the media has created a severe element of bias in media reporting. Even neutral blogsites, operated by the media such as the Citizens Blog operated by The Star which was supposed to be non aligned to any political party has turned out to be rather discriminatory in favour of the ruling Government. In the beginning, the site editors allowed comments to flow freely as a sign of neutrality on its part. Perhaps due to pressure from the Home Ministry, the CB editors have recently begun to display a most unprofessional attitude in clamping down on articles which criticizes the ruling Government and its unfair racial policies. India See also Media bias in India There have been claims that the history of the Islamic invasion and its atrocities on India is being systematically whitewashed and censored in Indian school books and in other media e.g. Shourie 1998 .

Refimprove date February 2011 This article deals with the use of the word communalism in SouthAsia, as a name for a force separating different communities based on some form of social or sectarian discrimination. See the article communalism for the use of the word to denote a force uniting people into a community as well as a libertarian socialist political ideology, as it is used in other parts of the world where English is a major language. Communalism is used in SouthAsia to denote attempts to promote primarily religious stereotype s between groups of people identified as different communities and to stimulate violence between those groups. It derives not from community but from tensions between the religious communities. ref cite book last Pandey first Gyanendra title The Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India publisher Oxford India date 2006 ref The sense given to this word in SouthAsia is represented by the word sectarianism outside SouthAsia. In SouthAsia, communalism is seen as existing primarily between Hindus , Islam in India Muslim s, Sikhs , and Christianity in India Christians . In contemporary India, communalism designates not only the conflicts between extremist religious communities, but also those between people of the same religion but from different regions and states.

Rising from the first days of Islamic empires in India Islamic empires in SouthAsia , this article endeavors to explore and trace Muslim nationalism through medieval India and into the events of the 20th and early 21st century, within the modern nations of India , Pakistan and Bangladesh . Historical foundations The historical foundations of Muslim nationalist thinking derives inspiration from the years of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire in northern India . Those were the years when Muslim kingdoms were among powerful military groups in India, and an Islamic society that descended from the Middle East, Persia and the Central Asia and from areas which became modern day Afghanistan spread the religion amongst Indians. Ideological foundations The first Muslim uprising began with the Muslim Sultan, Tipu Sultan in 1766 , whose famous armed resistance of Mysore, using bamboo Rockets, was the catalyst for the demise of the British from India and earned him the title Father of the Indian Rocket . In fact, the battle against the British in Mysore, 1766 seems to be at the pinnacle of unrest in the colonised lands of all the European colonisers.

Unreferenced date April 2012 Transgender sidebar Hijra SouthAsia Hijra is the blanket term used to describe men who are transgender , eunuchs , transvestites , intersexed individuals, bisexuals , or homosexuals . Women who wear men s clothes or try to attain a male identity FTM do not fall in the category of hijra. According to Serena Nanda, the hijra is a third gender role, who is neither man nor woman but contains the element of both. Thus hijras incorporate both masculine and feminine behavior and mannerisms to adopt a personality of burlesque femininity. Gender relations in South Asian and Islamic cultures, which are largely patriarchal, are defined in relation to space. In what is usually perceived to be male terrain, hijras go about their work in the public domain. Despite their ubiquity, they are generally ignored and marginalized since they are not expected to conform to either conventional male or female demeanor. While hijras challenge social as well as political and religious norms of gender and sexuality, they are cast outside society s purview and thus continue to be victimized. Muslim Identification Islam is an orthopraxy rather than an orthodoxy , which means practice is emphasized instead of belief. In this way, the hijras syncretic Muslim identity could be defined through their practice. This is because hijras blur gender distinctions, following behavior specified for both men and women in the sharia at Islamic law . Additionally, many hijras in India identify and practice as Muslims, but at the same time worship and have great reverence for Hindu gods and goddesses. In India Although there is controversy about whether all hijras identify as Muslims, there is evidence that Islamic rituals are an essential part of the hijra identity.
