CounterCurrents: India: A Country filled With Anti Nationals!, 1947 Muslim Massacre In Jammu,

Dear Friend,

India is fast falling into the rabbit hole of fascism. All those who don't conform with the fascist Hindutva ideology are branded as anti-nationals. Eminent film maker and activist K.P. Sasi calls India, "A Country filled With Anti Nationals". Minorities, Dalits, Students, NGOs, activists... the list is long. The new entrant is a prominent TV channel NDTV. They are banned for a day, November 9. If this isn't the emergence of fascism, what else? It's time all sensible  people stood up and take action for the 'idea of India', failing which the whole of South Asia will blow up in a nuclear Armageddon. 

The Standing Rock Sioux fight for their sacred land is at a turning point. The state has unleashed its power on the peaceful protesters. Sarah van Gelder reports from the ground. 

And also more stories from around the world. 

If you don't mind, and if you think the content of this news letter is critical for the dignified living and survival of humanity and other species on earth, please forward it to your friends and spread the word. It's time for humanity to come together as one family! You can subscribe to our news letter here http://www.countercurrents.org/news-letter/.

India: A Country filled With Anti Nationals!
by K P Sasi 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/11/06/a-country-filled-with-anti-nationals/

Just recently, the government  included even a prominent news channel in their list of anti nationals. The list of anti nationals today include even the mainstream media also. Even NDTV is being targeted today. Personally speaking, I think it is a good move. Now, even the mainstream journalists who are so used to publishing only official versions of news as their daily diet, will be forced to rethink from now onwards. And if they do not rethink, sooner or later many other channels and newspapers will also be targeted as anti-nationals in the near future. And if that happens, it would be nice fun. A nation filled with anti-nationals! Just think of it. Enjoy the fun!

The PUCL therefore calls upon all democratic sections of society to immediately raise their voices demanding a revocation of the Government of India’s decision imposing ban on telecasting by NDTV India between 9-10th November, 2016. PUCL also calls upon all other media professionals and organisations to stand unitedly and collectively express its opposition to the one-day ban on telecasting by NDTV India.

Is this the turning point for the Dakota Access Pipeline? Word spread through the camp on Friday of a discussion between the Army Corps of Engineers and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe that could mean a breakthrough.




Hillary Clinton – Mrs Strangelove?
Co-Written by Leif Elinder, Anders Romelsjö and Martin Gelin, three Swedish MDs

Hillary Clinton’s fears concerning her rival candidate appear to be justified. At present she seems to be the most likely future president, and there is good reason for asking the question – Is Mrs. Clinton throwing stones in a glass house when she viciously attacks Donald Trump? Her efforts as Secretary of State are among the most warmongering in America’s modern history. Should she become president, it seems highly unlikely that we would ever see the dawn of world peace.






Reconciling Mutual Aid With Revolutionary Violence: The Case of Peter Kropotkin

When one thinks of imperialist endeavors which continues to this day, the weapons of mass destruction that could obliterate humanity many times over, and the irreversible hazardous consequences that man made climate change presents to the existence of our species, all being the consequences of ruthless but unnecessary competition instigated by a minority of powerful and wealthy masters of the humanity, Kropotkin’s teachings promptly become relevant and indispensible.





Dusty Memoir: “Eat Dust: Mining And Greed In Goa”
by Cynthia Stephen 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/11/06/dusty-memoir-eat-dust-mining-and-greed-in-goa/

Hartman De Souza documents, in vivid and visceral detail, the dismemberment of a hill, a culture, a people, in this book which the blurb calls    “ at once travelogue, investigative report, and memoir”. I would also call it a requiem for a way of life which he and his children had enjoyed just a few short years before the mining boom hit Goa.





Gender Disparities In Pakistan: Unmasking The Democratic Delusion
by Irshad Soomro 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/11/06/gender-disparities-in-pakistan-unmasking-the-democratic-delusion/

The recent report of World Economic Forum (WEF) on ‘Global Gender Gap 2016’ ranks Pakistan at 143 the ‘Second Worst’ country on gender inequality among the worlds’ 144 countries followed by Yemen. And the million dollar questions is, could this be justifiable with Pakistan’s narrative on the struggle of meeting Millennium Development Goals 2030?






Kashmir: Honesty Before Azadi!
by Mohammad Ashraf

Before one can dream of independence, one has to deserve to be independent and that can happen only when one is honest and sincere about the goal as well as the movement leading to it in the first instance!





1947 Muslim Massacre In Jammu
by Abdul Majid Zargar 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/11/06/1947-muslim-massacre-in-jammu/

Today is 6th November, the day we commemorate in  memory of  victims of Jammu massacre    1947 , many of whom even didn’t know their fault to go to grave. A people which had faithfully obeyed & served the whole clan of Hindu Dogra rulers for almost a century, fell to the evil plans & contrived machinations of the same very rulers. But before the veil is pierced to look at these tyrannical faces , it is appropriate and in order to recall an instance of a nearby State, Chamba (Now in Himachal Pradesh) to dispel the notion that all Hindu rules were cruel or tyrants.





Interlinkages Between Communalism And The Political Underworld

The pervasive sense of fear, apprehension and the threat to fundamental rights including right to life under the Narendra Modi’s BJP regime in Gujarat manifesting from Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a Cover Up by Rana Ayyub was more intense, particularly for the dissenting voices. The undeclared emergency under the Modi regime in Gujrat and now in India has been more frightening and scarier.
