Modi's 100 Days: India Towards Doledrums?
By Ajaya Kumar Singh

http://www.countercurrents.org/aksingh310814.htm

Sangh Parivar aims in attempting to stifle India's vibrant plurality and diversity. Modi's one hundred days show that the very idea of India as plural and diverse nation is at axe. The alarm bell has rung. What nobody dared to do; Sangh Parivar attempts to do it by pulling the strings of the rubrics of the constitution. It does undermine all that India stands for: SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC


The Hindutva Hypocrisy
By Bilal Shaheen

http://www.countercurrents.org/shaheen310814.htm

Even if India will become a Hindu Rashtra, it will be a Muslim Rashtra, Sikh Rashtra, Christian Rashtra and so on. And it will not be without tragedies, holocuasts and genocides. Millions have already perished in Hindutva's cumbersome mission to install Hindu Rashtra. Today India has its own ground zero at Ayodhya. If nothing is done to stem this rising tide of irrational nationalism, India, sooner or later, will explode into unimaginable scenes of genocide, extremism and nefarious nationalism


The Narrative Of Love Jihad
By Abdul Majid Zargar

http://www.countercurrents.org/zargar310814.htm

With BJP’s ascendance to power at centre and in many other states, the confidence of minorities in the role of the state is fast crumbling, especially as regards their physical protection & prevention of communal violence. Hindu right-wing dominated State governments are lending tacit or express support to the Hindu zealots to promote the agenda of violence & hatred. Many years after anti-Muslim violence in Gujarat (2002) and Mumbai (1993) offenders still wait to be sentenced. Instead, persons convicted of murder have been let free like Maya Kodnani & babu Bajrangi in Gujrat. Similarly Sangeet som, accused of engineering Muzaffar nagar riots has been awarded Z+ security cover. To top it all a rabid communal lunatic has been made in charge of UP poll campaign. And all this does not augur well for India

Well over 1,000 people protested peacefully, marching through Ferguson, going to the police station and some going door-to-door in prosecutor McCulloch’s neighborhood asking him to be removed or recuse himself. There are calls for shutting down highways on Labor Day and, if Officer Wilson is not fired and arrested, for shutting down highways for two days the week after


Washington's Gamble: Wealth, Power And The Drive To Nuclear Armageddon
By Colin Todhunter

http://www.countercurrents.org/todhunter310814.htm

Would the US be prepared to back down? Faced with possible defeat by conventional Russian forces if the worst case scenario comes to pass, would it use the nuclear option to avoid backing down and attempt to eradicate Russia as a potential rival and risk destroying humanity in the process? Given its track record of reckless disregard for human life across the globe since 1945, what do you think?


The Guardian Australia Censors & Ignores Iraqi Holocaust
And Iraqi Genocide Now Renewed By US & Australia
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya310814.htm

After 2 decades of devastating Iraq, the US and US lackey Australia have now re-invaded Iraq with return of soldiers as security guards, selective air supply of humanitarian aid, 800 US “military advisers”, US bombing of Iraq (adumbrated to extend to Syria in addition to US-armed Israeli bombing in Syria), Australian air supply of weapons to the Kurds, and critical Australian targeting of US drone strikes in Iraq (and elsewhere) via its joint US-Australian Pine Gap spying facility in Central Australia


Killing By Silence: The International Community’s Silence
On The Israeli Aggression On Gaza Strip
By R.Sivakumar

http://www.countercurrents.org/sivakumar310814.htm

The present episode of Israeli aggression on Gaza has killed around two thousand civilians but the more chilling fact is that the International community has let this to happen by choosing to remain quite


Participation: Of Whom, By Whom, For Whom?
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury310814.htm

Without participation, democracy is not democracy. And, participation – a process and an auger – in election is only a part of practicing democracy. It’s an important indicator of democracy, but not the only indicator
