By Parvin Sultana

http://www.countercurrents.org/sultana080315.htm

Dimapur is regarded as the business capital of Nagaland, a state in the Northeastern region of India. This small town was jolted by a series of horrific incidents that took place on 5th March, 2015. A man accused of raping a college student was murdered by a mob. Videos of the 35 year old Syed Farid Khan being paraded naked and beaten to death became viral. His lifeless blood drenched body was then hanged


Analysing The Dimapur Lynching
By Sazzad Hussain

http://www.countercurrents.org/hussain080315.htm

This modern day lynching was photographed by mobile wielding youth as souvenirs. The entire act was committed in broad day light where the police and the civil administration choose to remain nonchalant. The punch line of the narrative was that the “rapist”, who was also an “illegal Bangladeshi immigrant”, got his punishment in a country where the justice delivery system is very slow

Biodiversity or GMOs: Will The Future Of Nutrtion Be
In Women's Hands or Under Corporate Control?
By Vandan Shiva

http://www.countercurrents.org/shiva080315.htm

Women have been the primary growers of food and nutrition throughout history, but today, food is being taken out of our hands and substituted for toxic commodities controlled by global corporations. Monoculture industrial farming has taken the quality, taste and nutrition out of our food. As a result, India is facing a nutritional crisis: every fourth Indian goes hungry, and in 2011 alone, diabetes took the lives of 1 million Indians


Meet The Planet’s Most Dangerous Nuclear Rogue State
By Mickey Z.

http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz080315.htm

We're told we can't allow just anyone (except allies like Israel, of course) to acquire such lethal technology -- and we can't let anyone help arm men so evil they might, well, use nuclear weapons on civilians. We hear this while pretending that our tax dollars aren't funding the forces that regularly use nuclear weapons on civilians

By Dan Lieberman

They are asking for only $14,000, and their request greatly strengthens recognition of the Palestinian cause.

What About India’s Daughters In The Conflict Zones?
By Devika Mittal

http://www.countercurrents.org/mittal080315.htm

Sexual violence in the conflict zones are not an aberration. They are widespread. Yet, they do not evoke the same outrage that this particular incident in a non-conflict zone has received. The Government, the judiciary and even those people who are aware of this reality remain silent. Aren’t these the daughters of India too? Aren’t they women as well? This hypocrisy needs to be addressed. Respect and rights cannot be exclusive or the entitlement of only a particular section of women
