Adivasi assertion, tribal identity, and religion converge in Jharkhand’s movement for recognising the Sarna code as an official religion. The revival of this nature-worshipping tribal religion in Jharkhand, where over 4 million registered themselves as Sarna even in the 2011 Census, has hurt the BJP electorally in the state.
In February 1983, in one of the nation’s bloodiest pogroms, over 2000 Bengali-Muslims were killed in the wake of the Assam agitation. What happened in Nellie continues to reverberate in the everyday persecution of Indian Muslims. Nellie, more than a memory, stays with us as a metaphor. Preserving its memory is an assertion of itself.
‘Liberation Day’: Trump’s tariffs will not be a liberation but instead only add to the likelihood of a new rise in domestic inflation and a descent into recession. Also: ‘In Trade War with the US, China Holds a Lot More Cards Than Trump May Think − In Fact, It Might Have a Winning Hand’.
‘Facing Trump’s America’: Black people in America have often led change in this society because our humanity and our liberties were so long suppressed and denied. Also: ‘Trump’s War on the Poor’: The current crisis builds on decades of neoliberal plunder and economic austerity authored by both conservative and liberal politicians.
The impressive turnout reflects the public’s readiness to resist the Trump administration’s far right policy agenda.

‘Coca Cola: Made in Mexico, Apparently’: As the world’s largest soft drinks manufacturer faces a consumer boycott in one of its largest global markets, its marketers come up with a cunning plan. But will it work? Also: ‘What can the Global Left Learn from Mexico – Where Far-Right Politics hasn’t Taken Off?’
South Africa has, at least since the mid-17th century, been South Africa Inc.—a corporate project of global capitalism—controlled successively by the Dutch VOC, the British Empire, and a narrow Afrikaner elite who extracted much wealth from the country’s land and mineral resources.
