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

When the Constitution Is Turned Upside Down | Countercurrents (opens the original)

Read excerpt

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)
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
