The one area of social life which neofascism specifically, single-mindedly, and shamelessly seeks to destroy is education. It is not just a question of ignoring education, or privatizing it and starving it of public funds; it is a case of deliberate, wilful destruction. Neofascism’s attitude in this respect is the diametrical opposite of that of the Left, especially the Communists. The country is dotted with numerous educational institutions started...
AFTER the US war on Venezuela, in which the US seized Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores de Maduro, and put a pliant Delcy Rodríguez in power, the US struck an oil deal with the new puppet government. The US secured a 35 per cent stake in a new oil company it created—North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP)—without making any investments. The US’s chosen partner in this deal is Alejandro Betancourt, who will hold the majority...
THE Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) has naturally emerged as a serious concern for the indigenous communities of the Upper Siang, Siang, and East Siang districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Conceived in 2008 as India’s largest hydropower project, the 11,200 MW project, proposed across three districts of the Siang Valley, is now being projected as a strategic countermeasure to China’s similar...
LAST week, some rather bizarre events took place that point to a dire and dangerous direction India is heading to.

Rubio skipped New Delhi altogether, explaining the trip as being ‘...

STEPPING up the struggle against what it described as a systematic assault on electoral democracy, the Tripura chapter of the INDIA bloc will organise a mass march in Agartala on October 30, carrying the national flag and raising a five-point charter of demands. The eight-party alliance will march from Orient Chowmuhani at 11 am and submit a memorandum to the Chief Electoral Officer...
ON Sardar Patel’s 151st birth anniversary on October 31, it is worthwhile to look at the relations between him and the RSS/BJP. Why does the RSS/BJP appear to favour Patel so much? And what were his views about the RSS? The efforts by RSS/BJP to appropriate Patel have intensified since Modi came to power. Propaganda is being carried out that if Patel had become Prime Minister, the fate of the country would have been different. It is claimed that injustice was done to Patel and that...
SEVEN years after August 2019, Jammu and Kashmir has an elected government, a functioning Assembly and regular official assurances that the situation is normal. On September 28, the Assembly passed a resolution asking the Government of India to do what it had promised long ago, which is to restore full statehood. The fact that the House had to ask again, two years after the people voted, says a good deal about where things stand...
IN his foundational critiques of political economy, Karl Marx laid bare the essential dialectic of human existence. Mankind does not merely exist as an abstract biological entity.
