First off, this is a dialogue primarily between people who know South Asian contexts and histories beyond “wonderful land! wonderful people! the rich colourful textures!” and I. Saying this upfront, I will not engage with anyone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I have limited spoons to share, might as well engage in dialogue than school ignoramuses.

So apparently Jezebel freaked out because a sister in Germany named her thirteen pound baby Jihad?
WOW IF I BIRTHED A THIRTEEN POUND BABY it would sure as hell be named Jihad too omg.
And they said jihad is a holy war waged against non Muslims and that she was practically scarring her child.

As Fabiola Quishpe stands in a field wearing a bright red shawl and black hat, there is little that sets her apart from the other indigenous women in her small community in the Ecuadorean Andes.
But she is far from typical.

And for the women in Apahua, a small Quechua settlement, Ms Quishpe is more...
