As a minority group, we have been facing discrimination and oppression for centuries, how can we initiate a discussion on the legitimacy of establishing an independent state for our people?

A discussion on establishing an independent state for your people cannot begin without first recognizing and addressing the centuries of inequality and systemic discrimination that your minority group has faced. To facilitate a meaningful dialogue, it’s important to recognize the unique historic experiences, cultures and views of every participant. Listening to each other carefully and striving for an understanding of different perspectives are critical components of a productive discussion. Openly addressing systemic oppression, developing empathy between all sides, creating policy changes to bridge gaps between majority-minority relationships are just some strategies that will allow us take this conversation forward towards possible peaceful resolutions on either initiating or dismantling any kind of autonomy or recognition.

A conversation about the legitimacy of establishing an independent state for minority groups should begin by identifying and acknowledging historical oppression. It is important to understand why minority populations may seek independence, what benefits it could provide, and the implications it might have on their communities. Dialogues around this issue should be open and non-judgmental as each community has different unique needs that should be respected.
