Letter from Khalid Saifi – an activist and one of the founders of the group, United Against Hate, who was arrested by Delhi police in February 2020 – to his family and friends.
Mitti Satyagraha and Kisan Shaheed Smarak; Farmers block Delhi-Meerut expressway and Kundli–Manesar–Palwal expressway in Haryana for a day; Farmers gherao offices of FCI; Tikait in Gujarat; How Punjab is organising to keep protests alive during harvesting season.
The most prominent independent elected socialist in the U.S., Kshama Sawant, recently announced, that she and other members Socialist Alternative would be joining the Democratic Socialists of America. This is the important backdrop to this interview.
Without political power, revolutionary programs will not have the required material resources. Without the participation of the people, revolutionary programs cannot be put into practice. Right now, Nicaraguans have both and they are making great progress in building a new society.
Farmers burn farm law copies during Holika Dahan; Declare FCI Bachao Divas on April 5; Announce Parliament march in 1st week of May; Punjab farmers prepare for long haul as harvest season nears; Tikait in Gujarat; Kisan Panchayats in Karnataka.
‘The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting-stone of ideas,’ Bhagat Singh once said. And he proved that with the few masterpieces his brief but legendary life allowed him to pen.
Speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1967, in which he called for an immediate end to the American invasion of Vietnam, saying that it was morally indefensible and unambiguously linked to “the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.”
There are six attributes that the farmers’ protest has come to exemplify. Like the prime minister, the author has put them in an acronym.
News from across the country about Bharat Bandh on March 26; Mahapanchayat at Kanyakumari on March 27; Police barge in to stop farmers’ Press Conference in Ahmedabad; 5-day padyatra from Haryana concludes at Delhi border; Farmers, jawans and youth together celebrate Shahid Diwas.
On Shahid Diwas, we need to ponder over the extent to which the ruling regime and society have moved away from Bhagat Singh’s ideals of equality and justice, communal harmony, respecting and advancing the rights of workers and farmers, resisting imperialism at all levels.
