    The Walls Closing Around Indian Democracy | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Modi government is panicking as people everywhere, disgusted with its falsehoods and frauds, are freely venting their objections to its travesty of constitutional government. Two events or trends are today capturing popular imagination: the shenanigans surrounding Gyanesh Kumar’s sordid but fateful antics, and the ominous popular interest in the activities of a meteoric cockroach brand Janata Party. The Modi government has devised two answers to the flood of indictments and excoriations agai

    The Lynching of a Manipuri Musician and the Degradation of India’s Moral Fabric | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A Manipuri musician, Chongtham Vikram Singh’s death at the hands of a mob has jolted conscious and responsible citizens, a small and shrinking group, into an awareness of the barbarism that hides under the superficial urbanity of India’s capital. It casts a shadow on the world-brotherhood claims of people like Mohan Bhagwat and Modi. In fact, next to alleged Bangladeshis, people from the Northeast are the most likely targets of blind prejudice in North India. While they are welcome as waiters in

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    JPC Chairman P.P. Choudhary has recently stated that the proposal to hold state assembly and parliamentary elections at the same time has been found to be perfectly constitutional. A very happy finding for the BJP. Cynics might retort that this finding, if it is final, will make the ECI’s task of getting the ‘deserving’ party elected in both so much smoother and hassle-free.

    India and Iran: A Tightrope Walk in a Changing Middle East | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Several articles in CounterCurrents have shown how the horrors relentlessly perpetrated by Israel in Gaza have been insidiously supported by the way Western media is reporting on the unfolding events, still harping on the excesses of Hamas, which of course weigh little when placed against the genocide Israel is guilty of. I have a small suspicion that Western media, financed by (imperialist) corporate capital, is playing the same role in reporting on the Iran war. I have before me the report on

    On Political Islam | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I am about to come to the end of a fascinating book that sets out to observe and meditate on a common and intriguing aspect of the contemporary world: what is known as political Islam. During the medieval period, going by the dominant Western chronology, fairly large parts of the world had come under the rule of Muslim rulers, and in many such countries Islam had become the dominant religion. In many of them, while Muslim rulers did not particularly interfere with their subjects’ faith, Islamic
