Kejriwal Should Realise the Allure of Jantar Mantar is Misplaced

NB: A much needed reminder: the loudspeakers for Lokpal fell silent after the AAP and BJP came to power in their respective bastions; the AAP’s own internal Lokpal was unceremoniously dismissed; and the party kept a safe distance from all issues of communal strife during the Delhi riots of 2020 (including opposing bail for Muslims… Read More Kejriwal Should Realise the Allure of Jantar Mantar is Misplaced

The Unmaking of Ladakh: RSS, Corporate Power, and the War on India’s Plural Soul

Since 2014, this has been the RSS–BJP’s consistent strategy: criminalize dissent, discredit activists, and rewrite constitutional morality. They know that a large-scale civil war is impossible in a subcontinent as vast and diverse as India. What they fear are small, localized movements, like Ladakh’s, that cannot be militarily conquered, but only silenced with force. The assault… Read More The Unmaking of Ladakh: RSS, Corporate Power, and the War on India’s Plural Soul

Tony Blair just can’t kick the habit of imperial interference in the Middle East

NB: More self-serving bufoonery by a corrupt war criminal. Brittania rules – if not the waves, the graveyard of murdered Palestinians. Blair and Trump make a good circus. They and their chums among the Arab despots are the vultures of our time, circling scenes of human devastation caused by their ally Israel; and looking out… Read More Tony Blair just can’t kick the habit of imperial interference in the Middle East
