K. Veeramani is perhaps the senior most of the leaders of revolutionary Periyar E.V. Ramasamy’s Dravidian movement. In this wide-ranging conversation, he gives extensive details of the background of formation of Self Respect Movement.
Cabral, the leader of Guinea Bissau’s freedom struggle, was murdered by fascist Portuguese assassins on January 20, 1973. He had become a widely influential theorist of decolonization and non-deterministic, creatively applied re-Africanization.
After a month-long visit to India in 1959, the civil rights leader was convinced that non-violence was the best way forward for the African-American struggle.
Violence stamps the body politic with its cloven hoof; it reduces isolated acts of resistance to spectacle and diminishes the political public to an audience.

Cuban government officials and activists have reiterated their demand for an end to the blockade imposed by the US which over six decades has cost Cuba $147.8 billion in damages.
His death is institutional murder by the Indian criminal justice system.

Fr Stan Swamy, the Jesuit, has now become part of the Adivasi folklore of resistance. He is also a martyr to their cause of protecting their heritage, their ‘Jal, Jangal, Zameen’ from the lusting eyes of the men in political power and their crony corporate friends.
The entire episode leaves behind a feeling that Stan Swamy was virtually thrust a sentence of death without charges being framed against him and without a trial.
