Don’t Mourn. Here’s The Spring, Dance
By Sourav Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee250116.htm

I went to Rohith’s grave after they destroyed his material existence in an anxious haste before he drags their system to his grave, and found he is not dead and will surely be saved. He is bleeding and has gone underground. Before departing, he asked me to spread this promise among friends and comrades in this spring…


Murder By "Suicide": Institutional Murder Of A Dalit Research Scholar
By Anand Kumar

http://www.countercurrents.org/kumar250116.htm

Rohith’s last letter says it all. Even before he took that fatal decision to end his life, we find in his letters not complaints or any display of petty mindedness but a zest for life, wanting to be a science writer like Carl Sagan, echoing one his famous words ‘we are made of star dust ’. The letter stands as a brutal condemnation of the feudal and casteist society that is India, and all that false story build around growth, development etc

Hindutva Politics And Islamist Politics Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin - Part I
By Shamsul Islam

http://www.countercurrents.org/si250116.htm

Here is an attempt to reproduce facts from the archives of the Hindutva camp which conclusively prove that the Hindutva Gang & the Islamist Gang have been together and presently too together in undoing a democratic-secular Indian polity. Far from being opposite they complement each other as we will see in the following


26 January: Australia Day, Invasion Day, Survival Day And British Invasion Day
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya250116.htm

On 26 January, Australia's national holiday, Australia Day, White Australia celebrates the arrival of the British First Fleet and first White settlement of Australia at present-day Sydney on 26 January 1788. However Indigenous Australians mark 26 January as Invasion Day or Survival Day, commemorating commencement of an Aboriginal Genocide and an Aboriginal Ethnocide that continues today, this qualitatively representing the worst genocide in human history


Anything But The Bitter Truth: The Structural Crisis Of Capitalism 
By Jon Kofas

http://www.countercurrents.org/kofas250116.htm

When the culture of the Western world, now a global culture that reaches from Mongolia to Mozambique, celebrates the millionaire and billionaire as society’s hero instead of villain who destroys society, while marginalizing those who work and create, why is anyone surprised that the sharp market decline of January 2016 amounting to more than $8 trillion in losses is but a small signal of a crash that is inevitable probably toward the end of the next decade or early 2030s


George Jonas Who Once Wrote Brilliantly About Zionist Madness Dies
By Ira Glunts

http://www.countercurrents.org/glunts250116.htm

In the United States, Israel, and among Jews throughout the world, the name George Jonas is solely recognized as the writer of the 1984 book, Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team. That book became the basis for the television movie, Sword of Gideon (1986) and later and more famously, the source for the film Munich (2005), which was directed by Stephen Spielberg


Poland Looking West 
By Linh Dinh

http://www.countercurrents.org/dinh250116.htm

Though the narrative that Russia invaded Ukraine is absurd, most Poles buy into it, such is their hatred of their long time nemesis. At least ten thousand Poles have even joined militias to prepare for an invasion. Clinging to that dangerously flailing zombie that’s Uncle Sam, Poles might just see their worst fear realized


Media More Outraged By Possible Murder By Putin Than Definite Murder By Obama 
By Matt Peppe

http://www.countercurrents.org/peppe250116.htm

The U.S.'s most prominent media organizations should demonstrate the strongest skepticism towards the policies and actions of their own government. At the very least, they should hold their own country's leaders to the same standards as they do others. But time and again, the media choose to act as a mouthpiece to echo and amplify Washington's propaganda. They do the government's bidding, creating an enemy and rallying the public towards a confrontation they would otherwise have no interest in, while allowing the government to avoid accountability for its own misdeeds

The Malvinas: An Unresolved Dispute
By Dr. Chandra Muzaffar

http://www.countercurrents.org/muzaffar250116.htm

The question of the Malvinas Islands (Falkland Islands) remains one of those unresolved disputes in international politics which seldom receives much attention from the world community. This is a pity since the United Nations has for the last 50 years called upon the two parties to the dispute --- Argentina and Britain --- to negotiate a peaceful solution through bilateral negotiations


Declassify To Demystify 
By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

http://www.countercurrents.org/rawat250116.htm

Our children need to know about the dangers of all those fascist powers who believed in racial superiority and killed people in the name of their identities but at the same point of time it must be made known to our people and history proves that Subhash’s idea of India was always inclusive, pro people and absolutely socialist which the Hindutva ideologues despise today
