India: Normalisation of Zionist colonial desires

‘If the Israeli people can do it. We can also do it’: Normalisation of Israel’s colonial desires Annapurna Menon A view of Srinagar's skyline. Photograph by Umer Asif for The Kashmir Walla “..there is one and only solution that is a separate homeland, where we live and protect ourselves with arms, we should be given training. It is important to make an Israel there [in Kashmir]. There is no second option for the Government of India” (Rakesh Handoo, 2021) “It has happened in the Middle East, you have to look, if the Israeli people can do it. We can also do it” (Sandeep Chakravorty, 2019) The two statements made above post the unilateral abrogation of Article 370 by a Kashmiri Pandit activist and the other by India’s Consul General in New York at a pri...

Muzzling the Media: Witch-hunting Against The Kashmir Walla

FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailTelegram On August 20, the website and social media handles of The Kashmir Walla, a Kashmir based media platform were restricted in India by the government without any notice. Soon after, the organisation was asked to vacate its office in Srinagar by the landlord. Earlier in February 2022, the editor-in-chief of the organisation, Fahad Shah was arrested by the police and charged under draconian UAPA and PSA. Sajad Gul, who worked as trainee reporter at The Kashmir Walla is also behind bars under PSA. The pattern clearly reflects the attempts by the central government to intimidate and harass independent journalists and press in Kashmir to muzzle the truth.

India: Let Our Flag Fly High Against The Symbol of Colonialism and Slavery

How can we lower our national flag, symbol of the freedom struggle, at half-mast as a mark of respect to this central institution of colonialism? FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailTelegram On Thursday September 8, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the newly inaugurated Kartavya Path at India Gate said that “Rajpath" [translated from the English Kingsway] was a symbol of slavery. Similarly, last week during the commissioning of INS Vikrant, Modi unveiled a new Indian Navy flag in which the old St George’s Cross was dropped and a new insignia was added. Again, the PM's office said that this change was an attempt to move away from India’s colonial past.

Resolution on Perspective, Orientation and Tasks of Anti-Fascist Resistance

Documents of CPIML11th Party Congress,Vinod Mishra Nagar (Patna, Bihar),16-20 February, 2023 1. The Narendra Modi government has now been in power for more than eight years. If the first term of the Modi government was an early warning about the shape of things to come, the second term has been a period of rapid escalation of a concerted multi-pronged offensive. With Amit Shah as the Union Home Minister and Ajit Doval as the National Security Advisor, the state has become unprecedentedly repressive and vindictive. Constitutional democracy in India today is reeling under the combination of a rampaging state and a host of private armies and vigilante squads emboldened by the patronage and impunity granted by the regime. This combination of unmitigated state repression and...

Multidimensional Global Crisis and Waning American Hegemony

Today, we stand at a critical moment in history. Fascism is on the rise globally with the consolidation of fascist regimes in a number of countries across the world accompanied by intense resistance movements, some of which, like the struggle against the Bolsonaro regime in Brazil, have been successful. The tragic destruction caused by neoliberalism is on display and the contradictions of the international capitalist system are ever more visible. The countries that implemented neoliberal experiments in previous decades, such as Ghana, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are experiencing complete economic collapse, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the US are continuing to aggressively push the same ‘magic pill’ of structural reforms and austerity. The international economy, whi...

Disturbing Questions Over Death Of CBI Judge Justice Loya

Posted by: John Phoenix Special CBI Judge Justice Brijgopal Harkishan Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin murder case in which Narendra Modi’s lieutenant Amit Shah and several top Gujarat police officers were implicated, died suddenly at a Government guest house in Nagpur on 30 November 2014 – two weeks before the next hearing in the case. Within a month of the death of the 48-year-old Justice Loya, his successor had discharged Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin murder case. Justice Loya’s predecessor, who had been tough on Shah, had been transferred just a day before a hearing date he had fixed in which he had required Shah to be present. Justice Loya too had shown every sign of diligence in the case rather than leniency towards Shah.Now, three years on, the late Justice Loya’s family...

Meet Niranjan Takle, the journalist who broke the Judge Loya story

Posted by: John Phoenix Eight months after breaking one of the biggest stories of 2017, Takle remains unemployed. By: Cherry Agarwal In Class 4, Niranjan Takle, the journalist who broke the Judge Loya story, wanted to become a lawyer.This was because in 1971, the state government had acquired 16 acres of his family’s agricultural land, for development of low-cost housing projects, without due compensation. As the family waited for their due, Niranjan’s dream of owning a bicycle was also put on hold. Back then, a municipal school student in Nashik, Maharashtra, Takle would spend part of his morning delivering newspapers. Recalling those days, Takle says, “My father owned a small newspaper and magazine stall. While I did not understand the depth or the social and politic...
