In this session, Raghu Ananthanarayanan, Maggie Inbamuthiah and Preeti D’mello will share about the work that has been done over the years by Ritambara in helping individuals come to terms with and overcome colonisation. This involves the examination of the way one’s identity is shaped by community belonging. Most introspective practices look at individual identities as shaped by family and interpersonal relationships. This area is more difficult to look at since colonisation induces shame in owning up to community identity.
