By Abdus Sattar
Ghazali
http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali190114.htm
President
Obama's Friday speech on NSA surveillance was a calculated endeavor to calm a
furor at home and abroad over the US dragnet surveillance. However, the proposed
changes do not provide any fundamental changes in the intelligence gathering
activities

King’s condemnation of US wars for predatory investments, while brothers kill
innocent non-whites abroad. Needed: a great artist and composer like Herbie

Good
Governance In Bangladesh: A Quest For Democracy
By M Mukhlesur Rahman
Chowdhury
http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury190114.htm
The
quest for democracy in Bangladesh is moving in circles. The country gained its
independence through both the democratic process and through war. During the
four decades of its existence as a nation-state it has endured spells of
military and non-military rules. Of the latter all were not elected and the
elected governments themselves seemed to betray a superficial and perfunctory
commitment to the norms and practices of democracy
Confession Of The
Indian Voter
By Braj Ranjan Mani
http://www.countercurrents.org/mani190114.htm
Punish
them all, God!… And please enable me to distrust appearances so that I can
separate right from wrong, and the rascal from the righteous.Let only those come
to power who sincerely believe that ‘whoever degrades another degrades the
country and humanity.' And send the rest—the corporate crooks and rascals in
power, whether in India or elsewhere—to jail, hell, or whatever you call
it

Caste Rules, Whether You See It
Or Not
By Devika Mittal
http://www.countercurrents.org/mittal190114.htm
Caste
is still a reality of the today, whether the urban, upper-caste people can 'see'
it or not. The reason why the urban, upper-caste youth cannot see it is not
because it does not exist, but because they are not affected by it. Ask a Dalit,
what caste is. As about this constant debate of going 'beyond caste', as Social
Scientist Surinder Jodka had rightly pointed out, the beyond framework seems to
be a conspiracy of the upper-caste. We cannot go beyond the caste because caste
still exists and determines the life of a large section of population"
