This paper intervenes in critical socio-legal/post-colonial scholarship on human rights directed at how religion is constitutive of race and shapes who and what is regarded as ‘human’ and entitled to rights. It focuses on the Indian post-colony and legal persecution of the Tablighi Jamaat, a global, quietest Islamic movement, by the Hindu Right government during the Covid pandemic. It analyses how religion structures race in Hindu nationalist discourse to transform the Muslim into a perpetual outsider and an existential and epistemic threat to the Hindu nation and rights of the Hindu racial majority. The discussion connects to the epistemic anxiety generated by the alternative worldviews presented by this racialised ‘Other’ that shape legal consciousness and rights interventions globally. In complicating how anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia are integral to the transnational histories of race and race-making, the analysis triggers a rethinking of human rights interventions and the epistemological closures they enact.

后殖民地的种族形成、宗教和权利:揭露组建印度教国家的病原体

本文干预了关于人权的批判性社会法律/后殖民学术研究,这些研究针对宗教如何构成种族以及塑造谁和什么被视为“人类”并有权享有权利。它侧重于 Covid 大流行期间印度右翼政府对 Tablighi Jamaat 的印度后殖民和法律迫害,Tablighi Jamaat 是全球最安静的伊斯兰运动。它分析了宗教如何在印度教民族主义话语中构建种族,以将穆斯林转变为永久的局外人,以及对印度教民族和印度教少数民族权利的生存和认知威胁。讨论与这种种族化的“他者”所呈现的另类世界观所产生的认知焦虑有关,这种世界观塑造了全球的法律意识和权利干预。
