It would be naïve to view the Sulli Deals or similar objectification of the “Other” women merely from a gender lens. A historical analysis that puts into perspective the sexualisation of racism will help us to interconnect multiple different incidents like claims of love jihad, population jihad, hyper-masculine jingoism, metaphorising of women as the nation, sexualisation of both Muslim women and men that currently seem to be distinct and unrelated.

On Thursday, Delhi based poet and Muslim woman activist Nabiya Khan has shared a brief but strong statement on action against "Sulli deals." Photographs of more than 80 other Muslim women, including students, activists and journalists, had been uploaded by an unidentified Hindutva group on an application “Sulli Deals” using GitHub on 4 July with the sole purpose to auction off the Muslim women. Nabiya Khan's profile was also up for virtual auction on “Sulli deals”.
