Why Diljit Dosanjh is a thorn in the side of Hindu Right—a masterclass in GOAT patriotism

Diljit Dosanjh’s response to Right-wing intimidation is not anger or fear but an impishness that leaves his opponents looking both petty and outdated. Painting an artist who made bhangra reverberate across the California desert as anti-national, only makes the Right wing look provincial. Maybe that’s Dosanjh’s most significant contribution. He has shown us how joy can be more subversive than anger. And his G.O.A.T. act of patriotism is demonstrating that Indian identity is too vast, too complex, and too alive to fit into the Hindu Right’s narrow boxes.
