‘Climate Talks End With “Empty Deal” That Fails on Forests, Finance, and Fossil Fuels’: COP30 concluded on Saturday in Brazil with a deal that does not even include the words “fossil fuels”—the burning of which scientists agree is the primary cause of the climate crisis. Also: ‘COP30: The Shift to Green Capitalism Fails to Materialise’; and: ‘COP30 Isn’t a Failure — It’s a Farce’.
‘Corruption Festers in India, But No Outrage in Modi Raj’; ‘Modi Govt Oversaw Plan to Steer Billions from LIC to Adani: Report’; ‘Narendra Modi’s Mammoth Bank Heist Over the Last 10 Years’; ‘Cobrapost Alleges Rs 28,874-crore “Fraud” by Anil Ambani’s Reliance ADA Group’; ‘Surely, the General Doth Protest Too Much’.
Federal interferences with state rights have been there for decades both in US and India, but the sheer brazenness and the dizzying pace of the current assaults on federalism are unprecedented.
A delay of two years, unreliable hate-crime statistics, and discarded sedition charges, the NCRB 2023 Report offers us marginal data on crime but plentiful data on social control.
‘Raids at Kashmir Times Office in Jammu; Editors Call it “Attempt to Silence” Independent Media’; ‘Kashmir Times: A Jammu Newspaper That Stood Up for the Valley’: Established in 1954, it is considered to be an influential and credible voice in Kashmir’s media landscape.
The tenth part of a series of articles on ‘India’s Education Journey from Macaulay to NEP’. Since universities are crucial spaces for questioning authority and expressing dissent, ever since the Modi Government came to power in 2014, it has launched a vicious assault on our universities to bring them under its ideological control. This article discusses this assault on our universities.
‘“Instant Help” to “Incessant Labour”: The Invisibility of Domestic Workers in Urban India’: A study of the impact of capitalist and patriarchal systems on the structural invisibility and devaluation of domestic workers in urban India. Also: ‘Karnataka: Domestic Workers Bill a Good Step, But Some Concerns Persist’.
The State runs on a democracy of lowered expectations, and Nitish Kumar’s victory shows he manages that low bar better than anyone else.
In Assam’s detention centre for suspected foreigners, the state wages an attritional assault against the lives of the detained. But that is only one part of a majoritatian fantasy to create a sinister ethno-racial utopia.
‘Consider Kashmir’: Kashmiris are fearful for their lives, their employment and the future of their children. It is necessary now more than ever to study the factors that point towards the volatility of Kashmir. Also: ‘A Conflict No One Asked For’.
