The recent rise of majoritarian politics in countries across South and Southeast Asia—from the Hindu supremacism of Narendra Modi’s government in India to the state persecution of minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the ethnic clea nsing of the Rohingya in Myanmar—has pushed many minority communities to the margins of society while also throttling outlets of free expression. In recent years, to the concern of international human-rights organizations, governments have shut down internet access and blocked social-media accounts in the face of social unrest—as India did during the annexation of Kashmir in August 2019 and recently during farmers’ protests in Delhi. This era of persecution and repression has in turn stimulated a strain of photo activism, which prioritizes political concerns and uses the medium as an outlet for pushing under-represented narratives to the fore.
