US Officials Consider Nuclear Strikes Against Russia
By Niles Williamson
http://www.countercurrents.org/williamson050615.htm
A report published by the Associated Press yesterday reports that the Pentagon has been actively considering the use of nuclear missiles against military targets inside Russia, in response to what it alleges are violations of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty. Russia denies US claims that it has violated the INF by flight-testing ground-launched cruise missiles with a prohibited range

Odds are high fighting will break out again in the South China Sea. Pushing weapons of mass destruction, Uncle Sam rakes in many coins from all crises, so he has billions of reasons to stoke the flame, but it's anybody's guess if he'll risk his turkey neck when the missiles fly

'Derecognition' Of Ambedkar-Periyar Study Circle
And The Shrinking Of Democratic Spaces On The Campuses
By Subhash Gatade
http://www.countercurrents.org/gatade050615.htm
It is important to emphasise that the 'derecognition' of Ambedkar-Periyar Study Circle has rightly raised the issue of shrinking of democratic spaces on the campuses, growing attacks on freedom of expression and the Modi led government's attempts to bulldoze every such voice which is not ready to join the team of its cheerleaders. Interestingly not much attention has been paid to two important related issues: one concerns RSS's vision of 'Indianisation' of education and the prevalence of casteism in higher education
Shrinking Campus Spaces In India
By Parvin Sultana
http://www.countercurrents.org/sultana050615.htm
Campus should be the most liberating spaces where young minds must feel free to question. The banning of the Study Circle have set a dangerous precedent which has limited the issues and questions that students can raise. The systematic assault on freedom of expression and democratic values of respecting dissent and differences marks the gradual progression towards an era of authoritarian control and intolerance. If dissenting voices continue to be stifled in this manner, in the long run it will weaken the very foundations of democracy
Modi’s Bubble And The Chumcha (“Yes Men”) Culture
By Mike Ghouse
http://www.countercurrents.org/ghouse050615.htm
Prime Minister Modi is making all the classic mistakes of a man sitting inside the bubble, oblivious of the chaos outside the thin veil of the bubble. The men who keep him in euphoric status are called “Chumchas” – the “Yes men” of India who will ultimately let their bosses fall from grace
Modi@365: Let Them Eat PM Modi's Speeches
By Radha Surya
http://www.countercurrents.org/surya050615.htm
In its own interests the Modi regime should embark on a course correction. Apparently the BJP has now set its sights on gaining a majority of 370 seats in the Lok Sabha. Unless radical changes are made in the current trajectory not all the monogrammed suits in the world and not all the bandhini in Gujarat and Rajasthan will take the Prime Minister to the pinnacle that he covets
Criminal Justice System In India
By Rayees Rasool
http://www.countercurrents.org/rasool050615.htm
In order to mitigate the conditions of the undertrial prisoners the first and foremost thing that has to do is to bring down their population drastically. This cannot happen unless all the branches of the criminal jus-tice system work hand in hand. The presence of large number of undertrial prisoners is really shame to any criminal justice administration .For this we have to take these undertrials out of the prison or not to keep them for a long period as well as not to sent more undertrials to the prison
