Remembering a Chill Wind from Chile | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Soon after usurping power in 1973, the US pawn and Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet ordered the killing of all those who were opposed to his rule. ‘Operation Condor’ was the name given to the plan to liquidate opponents. As a result, during his reign of terror (1973 to 1990), thousands of Chilean men and women of conscience and conviction were murdered or forced into exile. As is to be expected, even after so many decades, the scars of that period have not entirely healed. Almost two de
Economics of Political Assassination: Raoul Peck’s Remembrance of Lumumba | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Despite his brief political career and tragic death – or perhaps because of them – Lumumba entered history through the front door: he became both a flag and a symbol. He lived as a free man, and an independent thinker. Everything he wrote, said and did was the product of someone who knew his vocation to be that of a liberator, and he represents for the Congo what Castro does for Cuba, Nasser for Egypt, Nkrumah for Ghana, Mao for China, and Lenin for Russia …” These words were written in 1972 by
More Carandiru Than Copacabana, Brazil Is | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The megalomaniac in the prime minister, Narendra Modi came to the fore once more recently when he repeated that India has what it takes to stage the Olympics.

He brings to his filmmaking elements ranging from a certain personal indulgence to the discipline associated with formal education. He was into filmmaking in his own eclectic way even before gaining admission to the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII). His debut fictional feature, Killa (The Fort, digital, colour, 107 minutes) is one of the several important Marathi films of recent or
The Farmer Is Not to Be Trifled With, in Reel or Real Life | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On April 29, in the midst of the second round of voting in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, Gaighata in 24 Parganas (North) witnessed, arguably, a ‘first’ in the history of electoral practise in the country when more than one bonafide Indian citizen was sought to be prevented from voting on account of the lungi he was wearing. (The lungi is traditionally worn in rural Bengal but also in many Calcutta homes by both Hindus and Muslims, although for some unstated but easily understandable r
