G20 vs We20 | The chronicle of a clampdown | The Money Trail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IolnK99GG4o  CFA India  Sep 4, 2023 #G20
As the date of #G20 Summit is drawing nearer, the Union Government is becoming more and more intolerant. Its clampdown on We20 Peoples' Summit is the latest. When the freedom of speech and assembly is threatened, how can a country boast of being the 'Mother of Democracy'?

We20: A Peoples’ Summit Resolves to Strengthen Efforts to Protect Rights

While in the official G20 summit there are claims of us being the “Mother of Democracy”, the state of affairs that we have witnessed here at the We20 Peoples’ Summit only goes on to show how we are inching closer to being a police state. One where even dialogues, deliberations inside the four walls and thoughts are being policed.

The declaration ‘People and Nature over Profits for a Just, Inclusive, Transparent and Equitable Future’ condemned the police action and while critically looking at the G20 and demanding the overhaul of the international financial architecture. It called out the false market-based solutions to the climate crisis proposed by the G20 which have resulted in financialisation of nature and deprivation of natural resource-dependent communities, and greater debt distress. It rejected corporate capital’s capture of global food governance through the Agreement on Agriculture in the WTO, and emerging bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.

Forbidden Transactions Between Muslims and Hindus in Gujarat,https://therevealer.org/forbidden-transactions-between-muslims-and-hindus-in-gujarat-india/   https://therevealer.org/forbidden-transactions-between-muslims-and-hindus-in-gujarat-india/  Sabah Gurmat . April 5, 2023
A law that restricts Hindus from selling property to Muslims—and what that foretells about India’s future

Titled the “Gujarat Prohibition of Transfer of Immovable Property and Provision for Protection of Tenants from Eviction from Premises in Disturbed Areas Act,” the law is more popularly known as the “Disturbed Areas Act.” The law’s original intent was to prevent the distressed sale of property by those who were vulnerable to eviction after an episode of communal or interreligious violence... But today, legislators use the law to promote segregation by creating a rigid divide between where Hindus and Muslims can purchase property, thereby ghettoizing the region’s Muslim minority.

For people like Dholkawala, the ability to purchase property rests in the hands and whims of district collectors. In 2017, a deputy collector rejected Dholkawala’s purchase and ordered a police inquiry into the matter since the property was in a predominantly Hindu area. The collector ultimately rejected the application on the grounds that it was likely to “affect the balance in the majority Hindu/minority Muslim strength” and could develop into a “law and order problem.”

Meanwhile, the Disturbed Areas Act has become even more radical. A 2020 amendment allowed collectors to reject applications for property sales if there is any “likelihood of polarization,” “disturbance in demographic equilibrium,” or even the “likelihood of improper clustering,” based on religious or other identities.

According to new research by scholar Sheba Tejani, the designated “disturbed areas” in Gujarat’s capital city of Ahmedabad grew by 51% between the period of 2013 to December 2019, now covering nearly 8.4% of the city’s total area.

 Mumbai's Adivasis stand up to be counted

https://ruralindiaonline.org/en/articles/mumbais-adivasis-stand-up-to-be-counted/ On World Indigenous People’s Day, Adivasis who live in and around Mumbai’s Aarey forest gathered for a show of strength and solidarity

Vitthal Lad, founder and leader of KSS explains, “they [government] are demanding records from before 1950. Even a person who can read and write won’t have those certificates from before the [Indian] Constitution was put into force. How will Adivasi people have them?” He says there is no provision in the The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (also referred to as Forest Rights Act ) that asks for it.

They say the state has also denied them other certificates. “We have not received our caste certificates, or our saatbara ,” says Narayan Kadale. He is a Thakar Adivasi farmer and grows vegetables like turai (ridge gourd), pumpkin, paan and ambadi (sorrel leaves) on 3.5 gunthas (less than one-tenth acre) of land in Banguda pada in Aarey. The saatbara functions as proof of land ownership in Maharashtra.

“They [government officials] insist that there are no Adivasis in Mumbai. They claim that we are not Adivasis, and question our caste status,” says the 39-year-old gardener and singer.
