relief and rehabilitation has reached the victims of 2002 Gujarat pogrom at all?

jail of the innocent muslims of Gujarat? State complicity in Gujarat genocide
will also be shown

The
deadly 2012 attack on US diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, could have
been prevented if Washington had not allowed arms shipment to reach
al-Qaeda-linked militants, said the Citizens Commission on Benghazi (CCB), a
group launched to unearth truth behind the attack, in its interim report – “How
America Switched Sides in the War on Terror.”

Putting The
‘Sharing’ Back In To The Sharing Economy
By Adam Parsons
http://www.countercurrents.org/parsons240414.htm
A
vibrant debate is beginning to question the meaning of sharing in relation to
the big questions of our time. In a recent article printed in STIR magazine,
STWR argues that this emerging economic concept should not be beholden to solely
personal, consumer-oriented or commercialised forms of collaboration, and must
ultimately be reflected in government policies on the national and international
level

Obama’s Peace
By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud240414.htm
Now,
it’s Indyk, the die-hard Israel lobbyist, being sent along with another
galloping horse outside Abbas’ window. We all know well how this is going to
end, and we can imagine Indyk giving another speech at an AIPAC or J Street
conference deriding Abbas for failing to jump
Power, Politics, Money
And Free Speech
By Fazal M. Kamal
http://www.countercurrents.org/kamal240414.htm
Like
all other human endeavors, democracy too is an evolving concept, maybe, in
future the trend will begin swinging in the opposite direction, as is often the
case due to laws of nature. Meanwhile, let us consider the pros and cons as
presented by two quotations: Historian Theodore H. White commented that “The
flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.”
However, on a completely different tangent astute social commentator/humorist
Will Rogers is reported to have declared, "America has the best politicians
money can buy."
Dalits Of Bhagana Village Seek Justice For Rape

Rape as
an instrument of caste dominance
Let's Counter The Argument In
Similar Fashion
By Suraj Yengde
http://www.countercurrents.org/yengde240414.htm
Rather
than getting into the on-going debate over the row of Arundhati Roy 's
introduction to the prophetic text of Ambedkar, I would rather surmise a
different approach. It has been over 8 decades that the discussions on
Annihilation of Caste has dominated mostly Dalit's upbringing. In this short
essay I will attempt to summarise the sentiments of Navayana as I experienced
through the text and provide an alternative approach. If this debate continues
it will probably be one of the influential debates of twenty-first century
literary tradition in India
