Dreams of a Maoist India https://aeon.co/essays/the-rise-and-now-fall-of-the-maoist-movement-in-india rAHU pANDITA
India’s Maoist guerillas have just surrendered, after decades of waging war on the government from their forest bases In her research in central Bihar in 1995-96, the Indian sociologist Bela Bhatia concluded that the Maoist leaders ‘have taken little interest in enhancing the quality of life in the villages.’ In fact, these leaders regarded development ‘as antagonistic to revolutionary consciousness,’ she wrote in 2005.
In the meantime, the Indian state was growing impatient with the Maoists. In 2010, a London-based securities house report predicted that making the Maoists go away could unlock $80 billion of investment in eastern and central India. New Delhi began preparations for a large-scale operation to get rid of them. But, before that, the extraordinary arrest in 2009 of the Maoist ideologue Kobad Ghandy in Delhi heightened political interest in the insurgents.

(2014? )Hindu nationalism was on the rise in India and, in the coming years, this term would become a ruse for the government to suppress all activism, resulting in the incarceration of civil rights activists like the human rights lawyer Sudha Bharadwaj. What also did not help is the number of body bags – of forces killed in Maoist ambushes – going to different parts of the country.
As anti-Maoist operations go on with even more rigour, a handful of those still inside the forest will ultimately surrender or be killed. How history remembers them is too early to say; but it is a fact that, had it not been for them, the much-needed focus on the hinterland of DK would not have been there.
research article based on empirical observations and focussed group discussions with farmers in tail end regions of Cauvery Delta. how farmer groups in these areas are adopting pulse cultivation from cotton to stabilize cropping cycles, buffer against market volatility across local and global markets, and avoid debt traps linked to Bt cotton farming.
Landless, nameless, essential: The story of India's women farmers https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/landless-nameless-essential-the-story-of-indias-women-farmers-3764318 Kavitha Kuruganti, October 15 is observed by the United Nations as International Rural Women’s Day and in India as Women Farmers’ Day. Although the National Policy For Farmers (2007) provided a clear and expansive definition of a "farmer", delinking it from land ownership and thereby including various categories of women farmers, this definition has not been implemented on the ground.
The day is also a reminder that most of these women still lack recognition and identity as farmers in their own right.
While patriarchy has placed most assets in men's hands, the least that the Government of India can do is redirect its DBT/DIT schemes to women farmers in agri-households. Progressive policies are also needed to redistribute asset ownership between men and women, with active incentives for gender equity.

The rise of swadeshi-ware can be beneficial to companies that sell their products and use nationalism as a mask for marketing. But they can be detrimental to the public, with no clear respect towards the right to privacy in India. The priority towards promoting swadeshi-ware is not seen anywhere in enforcing India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).
Through the new movement for swadeshi-ware, we might get independence with self-reliance but may not get dignity of life as one has been guaranteed under Article 21 of Constitution of India. This push for dignity in India, is not limited to privacy, and privacy itself cannot be achieved without participation from different communities of people in India. Merely being a nationalist doesn’t guarantee you privacy or dignity. We must re-examine the goals of the swadeshi-ware movement and continue to hold it accountable.

क्यों #netanyahu #trump हुए #ceasefire पर मजबूर ? https://youtu.be/nBWI1edNIVk Discussion on Hamas's victory intensifies on Israeli TV channels. Hamas pressurise Israel to release its top leaders in Zionist jails. Efforts to increase aid access to Gaza ate continuing while Rafah Crossing to open today. Israel begins process to release Palestinian prisoners. US troops begin arriving in Israel to monitor the ceasefire. Israel's terrorist plot in Lebanon has been exposed. Saeed Naqvi, a senior journalist, has discussed the issues candidly.
PFLP statement
In an interview with Al Mayadeen TV, regarding the Trump plan and the response of Hamas and the resistance factions, Dr. Maher al-Taher, head of international relations at the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said:
- We salute our great Palestinian people in the steadfast and proud land of the Gaza Strip, and in the land of Palestine, who have written a glorious page in the history of Palestine, the Arab nation, and the free people of the world.
- We bow in reverence and respect to the martyrs, wounded, and prisoners of our people, who have written an immortal epic that will remain in the memory of generations to come.
- The steadfastness of our people and the miracle of their legendary resilience are the foundation that has moved the world to stop the war of extermination, starvation, and destruction of people and property.
Netanyahu was counting on Hamas and the Palestinian resistance factions rejecting the American plan, which was crystal clear regarding what was required of the Palestinian side: disarming the resistance and handing over Israeli prisoners. However, regarding the commitments required from the Israeli side, the plan is vague and raises dozens of questions. Every clause requires agreement, especially regarding the comprehensive and final ceasefire, the timetable for the withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the future of the Gaza Strip, and the management of affairs in the Strip. Talk of international forces ignores the Palestinian people and their authorities, who alone have the right to manage their own affairs.
After in-depth and responsible deliberations between the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and our brothers from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian factions, a unified position was formulated, surprising Netanyahu, who wanted to continue the killing and massacres, and the response of Hamas and the factions. After in-depth deliberations and consultations, he was responsible and put the ball in the Israeli court. This position is not the result of Trump's threats, but rather stems from the supreme interests of our people, paving the way for an end to the aggression and halting the war of extermination. Al-Taher stressed the need for caution and vigilance, as Netanyahu wants to recover his captives. He will then engage in all forms of deception and obstruction to continue the aggression, and may even seek to transfer his battles to other parties, particularly in Lebanon.
He also emphasized that national issues related to the Palestinian cause and the future of the Gaza Strip can only be addressed through a comprehensive Palestinian national consensus that concerns all Palestinians, in order to preserve Palestinian principles and restore our full rights to return, freedom, and independence. He pointed to the necessity and importance of continuing global pressure on both the Israeli and American sides to implement a comprehensive ceasefire, reconstruction, and the unhindered entry of aid, in order to achieve our people's just goals.

शाह का झूठ पकड़ा गया, पोस्ट Deleted !! उलटे पांव भागे Amit Shah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLd1BKCa8A8 
In deleted tweet, Shah said that the Muslim population in India had grown to 24.6%. Meaning, the Muslim population, which was 15 to 16% in 2014, has now grown to 24.6% after 11 years of BJP rule. The reason for this is now being attributed to growth and infiltration. So, whose government was it? What was the Home Minister doing for 11 years? The Home Minister himself is citing the reason as the way infiltrators have entered India through infiltration, and the way Muslims from Myanmar and Bangladesh have entered India forcibly. All of this is under the Border Security Force's control. The BSF is under the Home Ministry
