Amerika Is India now. Economy is like ATM . have a VISA and get into anywhere! Get a US VISA and everything changes!

The US-based internet governing body rejected a proposal to create an adults-only zone on the internet, or a .XXX domain. But India is already trapped with Death Kiss. Mobile, cinema,cable,computor, internet and media launched Blue Revolution drive with misinformation campaign turning India a Free Hunting Ground for Multi Nationals. Luxury Malls and Luxury connection with Neoliberalism has changed the polity, economy, society, languages and cultuer!
The color is Blue which happens to be the color of ousted Team India from the Cricket carnival. University is enlisted in Stock Exchange! Trains sponsored!

With all that money floating around to be spent, luxury seems to be the buzzword today. According to an estimate, 200-300 international luxury brands are trying to make an entry into India. As of now, the luxury market is worth Rs 2,400 crore (Rs 24 billion) and continues to grow at 30-32 per cent. It is expected to climb up to Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 50 billion) by 2010.

The Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) will now be collaborating with each other in their climate control programmes!

Nandigarm seems to be spared as SEZ is going to be shifted in Haldia! Genocide criminals are never hanged until dethroned. Culprits won`t be punished! No Chance! For the first time after the Nandigram violence, the CPM's top leadership today began discussions on its fallout and the adverse impact on the party's pro-poor image.The politburo and central committee of the party, which met here, also debated the strategy for the UP Assembly polls, political developments and the Supreme Court stay on OBC quota in higher educational institutions.
On the first day of the three-day central committee meeting, the party senior leadership started discussions on a report of the West Bengal state unit on the Nandigram issue and the circumstances that led to the violence.

The entire gamut of the Special Economic Policy (SEZ) and the party's stand on it would be debated in the context of the Nandigram experience, party politburo member Sitaram Yechury told reporters.

Other issues that will be taken up include the Supreme Court stay on a Central law providing for 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes in higher educational institutions.

The party feels that the apex court judgment was "logically inconsistent" as a two-judge bench had gone against a verdict on OBC job quota given by a nine-judge Constitution bench in 1992.

It favours an all-party meeting on the apex court stay, which has raised questions on the "delicate balance" among the judiciary, legislature and the executive.

Three people including an alleged cricket bookie were arrested Saturday by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal for running an online cricket betting racket in Kolkata.

India is Americanised! World is Americanised! Death Kiss is the key word of culture worldwide!
Henry V Jardine, the US Consulate-General, said today that since last year India’s student visa applications to the United States have grown by 32 per cent. And in the autumn of 2006, through a concerted effort, the consulate was able to eliminate the non-immigrant visa appointment backlog.

Visa applications to the US and issuances by the consular offices are rising at a rapid pace. While over 3.5 lakh visas were issued last year, the number of applications being processed this year is tipped to touch 5 lakh. Of these, around 80% are slated to be approved. Kolkata and the east is of course clocking a taller growth rate. Compared to around 20% overall rate of growth yearly, Kolkata’s US consular hub is registering 20-30% rise in visa applications and approvals.

Sunil Mittal's plan to open a Bharti-Wal-Mart cash-and-carry store in Bengal has come under a cloud. On Friday, state finance minister Asim Dasgupta reiterated that Bengal would not allow Wal-Mart to establish a presence here.Bharti chairman Sunil Mittal had said that Bharti-Wal-Mart is keen to include Bengal in its nation-wide roll-out plan. The state has already allowed Germany's Metro Cash & Carry to set up shops since it would engage in wholesale trade and target institutions as customers! Former Chief Minister of West Bengal Jyoti Basu on Friday said that industrialisation in the State would continue in spite of the Nandigram incident, where 15 farmers had died in police firing!The two projects -Tata car factory in Singur and SEZ in Nandigram - that were initiated during the regime of incumbent Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya has met with protests by farmers and opposition political parties on the issue of land acquisition.

On the other hand,India’s struggles with the legacy of its ancient caste system took center stage again Thursday, with the highest court suspending a controversial government policy that reserved more seats at elite colleges for students born into “backward” classes. The policy sparked protests from students across the country when it was announced last year. Top state-run colleges already reserve 22.5% of admissions for students from lower castes. However, last summer, the government said it wanted to create an additional quota of 27% for "other backward classes," a move that protesters charged was pandering for votes in a country that sees intense competition among millions of students each year for seats in the top-tier colleges.

Come On Nationality Bangla! Australia's World Cup captain Ricky Ponting could be forgiven for a hint of exasperation on Friday when he was reminded of his team's shock loss to Bangladesh in Cardiff two years ago. On the eve of the champions' World Cup Super Eights match against the ninth-ranked one-day international nation, Ponting said the result had long since been consigned to the record books.

Centre admits to pesticide in colas and feels no shame! It takes no action against MNC related as it has always defended ENRON and Union Carbide! Is this in any way a Nation at all or we are the slave of MNCs which has taken over Indian Economy and , thus , we deserve the death kiss!
The Centre on Wednesday admitted that there are pesticide residues in colas produced and sold in India.

That is why,Reliance's Maha-Mumbai SEZ, one of the biggest special economic zones proposed in the country, has hit a speedbreaker.Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has announced a freeze on all land acquisitions for the proposed special economic zone (SEZ) of the Mukesh Ambani led Reliance group in Raigad district, which had witnessed widespread unrest over farmland takeover for the SEZ.

'No final award will be passed for acquisition of land for the multi-million rupee project,' the chief minister said late Friday.

Deshmukh's decision came a day after a high-level fact-finding team of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) warned the state government that the project could lead to a flare up similar to the one in West Bengal's Nandigram.

The fact-finding panel led by former MPs Sanjay Nirupam and Ramseth Thakur had Thursday submitted its interim report to the MPCC. It alerted the government of the farmers' unrest brewing in Raigad, adjacent to Navi Mumbai, where large-scale land acquisition was in progress by the Reliance Group.It had warned of a big farmers' agitation if the government failed to initiate immediate welfare measures for the affected farmers.

'We will issue orders to revenue officers to ensure that even after completing the hearing as per the provision of land acquisition act, no final award be passed. The ownership of land will remain with the farmers till the dispute is resolved,' Deshmukh told reporters Saturday.

He added: 'Even if the ongoing legal proceedings were completed, the land would remain with the original owners and not be transferred.'

Reliance had planned to set up a multi-million rupee SEZ on 10,000 hectares of land in the Uran-Pen-Panvel belt in Raigad. The company had already initiated land acquisition process and had announced a package for the farmers.

This morning I talked to top CPIM leader and SC welfare minister in Tripura Anil Srkar, the poet on phone. He informed me that TYripura may not implement OBC quota as the state has already implemented fifty percent reservation in the state. He demanded constitutional cahnge to bypass supreme court cap on quota more than fifty percent. Erlier sarkar claimed to have implemented reservation in private sector in the state. He also demanded to identify the creamy layer in Caste Hindus.

The government-run National Sample Survey (NSS) does capture a broad, caste-based (including OBCs) demographic and social parameters such as education, employment, occupation and consumption. According to the last, and latest available figures from NSS 61st round (2004-05), OBCs accounted for 41% of India’s population, up from 35.8 % in 1999-2000.

Sarkar said, ` Supreme court stay on OBC quota is unfortunate!’

On March 29, the Supreme Court, in an interim ruling, had put on hold implementation of the proposed 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in Central educational institutions, including IIMs and IITs.
In its interim order staying the Central Educational Institution (Reservation in Admission) Act of 2006, the Apex Court said the 1931 census could not be a determining factor for identifying OBCs for providing a quota to them.

Sarkar is an imporatant member of the CPIM dalit Sub committe for actions in accordance with Dalit agenda passed in Hyderabad conference. He informed that so many meetings have taken place and a substantial progress is made. He avoided to give any details.

Sarkar has written a long poem on Nandigram on party line but he did not comment on Nandigram genocide. He happens to the most important dalit leader in the party and is well known for his boldness.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday stepped up its attack on the Centre over the Sachar committee, saying its contention that it had been manipulated for electoral reasons stood vindicated after a new report suggested Christians and not Muslims have the highest unemployment rate in the country.Political parties on Friday stepped up pressure on the Centre asking it to find a way out to overcome the Supreme Court verdict staying the implementation of 27% reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions.

"We have been saying it all along that the Sachar committee was created for vote-bank reasons. It was designed to serve a political purpose especially ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The National Sample Survey Organisation report vindicates our assertion," BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.

He alleged that the Congress-led Centre had no concrete plans aimed at uplift of Muslims.

"It is simply trying to exploit sentiments to win some votes. But people see through these designs," Naqvi remarked.

The Board of Governors of the six Indian Institutes of Management met in Ahmedabad on Saturday to discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's stay on the 27 per cent OBC quota.They have come to the conclusion that there will be no OBC quota in IIM-Ahmedabad if the Supreme Court stay is not vacated within two weeks time.The Board of Governors have said that they will not be able to follow new OBC admission quotas if the stay on reservations does not go by April 12, 2007.
Meanwhile, reports from Ahmedabad say that The Indian Institute of Management here on Saturday hiked the annual fees for two-year postgraduate course by Rs23,000 to Rs2 lakh.

Global market has boosted consumerism in India! Get loans and consume, this happens to be the spirit of post modern Indian society. The Ethics is this! Good is wealth! Evil is poverty! Religion is well associated with this Global Market. What happens next?

The RBI today raised key short-term lending rate (repo) by 25 basis point and the mandatory deposits by banks by 50 points to contain inflation, setting the stage for another round of interest rate rise on housing, vehicle and other consumer loans. As part of its recent moves to further tighten money supply, the central bank raised the cash reserve ratio (CRR) — the portion of deposits banks must keep with the RBI — for the third time since December 2006 to 6.5 per cent with effect from April 28. It has hiked the repo rate — the rate at which the RBI lends to banks — to 7.75 per cent from April 14. The hike in CRR will suck out Rs 15,500 crore from the lendable resources of commercial banks.

Indian Middle Class, the backbone of the Brahminical Zionist Imperialism is bound to be immersed in Debt! But these Shudras are neither Dalits , nor tribals or minorities. They would have other avenues for biotic sustenace, which the underclasses, the untouchables in India may not have! This divided India may not address Globalisation in terms the Latin America does!

Look! Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Friday said that the government was fully supportive of Reserve Bank's decision to increase key short term lending rates and cash reserve ratio to contain inflation!

"The government is fully supportive of the moves," said Chidambaram.

He also said that the Reserve Bank consulted the government on both the measures announced on Friday.

SBI, others to review rates

And here you are!

The country’s top three lenders SBI, ICICI Bank and PNB on Friday hinted at increasing interest rates following RBI’s decision on short-term lending rate and CRR. SBI deputy MD Arun Shandilya said a review was likely, as the hike will impact credit growth and hit profitability of banks. ICICI chief executive K V Kamath said, “We expect slowdown in retail credit demand. However, investment demand is not likely to be impacted.” Punjab National Bank’s executive director, K Raghuraman, said the asset-liability committee of the bank would take a decision on loan rates in a week or so.

The Governors say they will not follow the OBC quota as it may amount to contempt of court.
However, it clarified that the benefit of reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes could not be withheld and the Centre could go ahead with the process to determine backward classes.

The next hearing on the case is only in August.

All the six IIMs had announced seat increases from this year to accommodate the OBC quota without affecting general category students.The admission process is already underway in most of the institutes, but authorities at the IIMs say they will take a final decision on admissions only after getting a communication from the Central Government.

Says Chairman, IIM-A Board of Governors, Vijaypat Singhaniya, "If the issue is resolved by the Supreme Court, prior to April 12, then the institute will have to go according to the law of the land. This institute will not violate any law of the land."

"If on the other hand, the Supreme Court does not decide to vacate the stay and clarify the issues on OBCs and when the Constitution comes into play, then I think it's going to be a very tricky issue for the institute to grant admission to OBCs," he added.

JNU boycotts Arjun Singh's visit

Saturday March 31, 01:26 PM
New Delhi: In a direct fallout of the reservation proposal for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in institutes of higher education, the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) boycotted a function that Human Resource Development Minister, Arjun Singh, had come to attend in the campus.

The HRD Minister had gone to the university to attend a function at the School of Social Studies.

JNU students shouted slogans against the HRD Minister in the wake of his comments after the Supreme Court stayed the 27 per cent quota for OBCs.

Arjun Singh had said that the Indian Government remained committed to the OBC quota scheme, despite the Supreme Court's ruling. He had also said that the Government was in consultation with its legal team.

http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=159587

NEW DELHI, MAR 30: The European Commission (EC) has offered to share expertise and experience in all areas of interest to South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) as well as in the implementation of the South Asia Free Trade Agreement (Safta).
Ahead of the Saarc summit in New Delhi from April 3, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European commissioner for external relations in the European Union (EU) also conveyed her strong support to the Saarc heads of states and governments.

She said “even as the EU celebrates its 50th anniversary, it sees itself as a natural partner in all efforts aimed at reinforcing regional co-operation, people-to-people contacts and trade liberalisation in South Asia, which will bring benefits to all.”

The central theme of the Summit—Reconnecting South Asia and the members of SAARC with each other and the larger Asian region—is particularly pertinent. The declaration stated that the EU has come a long way to achieve peace, stability and the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital beyond national borders.

Left Front patriarch Jyoti Basu Friday admitted that the image of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led state government has been affected by the Nandigram violence that killed 14 people earlier this month. On the other hand,Six top Jamaatul Mujaheedin Bangladesh militants, convicted of carrying out a string of bombings in 2005 that left two judges dead, were hanged early on Friday. The six militants - Shaikh Abdur Rahman, Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai, Abdul Awal and Khaled Saifullah, Ataur Rahman Sunny and Iftekhar Hasan Al-Mamun - were executed in four separate prisons in Bangladesh, a private TV channel reported.

Will the time come when all the US agent criminals waging war against Rural India and Dalit India may be hanged?

It is Entertainment and Cricket which engage us most. It was not a conqueror's homecoming, but former cricket captain Sourav Ganguly was on Friday accorded a surprisingly warm welcome at the airport here with fans loudly cheering him. The scene at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (NSCBI) Airport on Friday morning was in sharp contrast to the homecoming of the other members of Team India who returned empty handed from the World Cup. Most team members, who crashed out in the first stage and lost to minnows Bangladesh, reached their hometown in scattered groupings, trying to melt into the darkness.

However, Sourav's return was public and greeted with cheers.

Singur: Ashok Mitra Unearths Rs. 850 Cr. Gift to the Tatas from a Debt-ridden Government

http://www.telegrap hindia.com/ 1070330/asp/ opinion/story_ 7580979.asp#

Santa Claus visits the Tatas - Freebies from a debt-ridden government Cutting Corners - Ashok Mitra The uproar over Nandigram - and Singur - in West Bengal will not die away soon. Competitive democracy has its own laws; those opposed to the party ruling in the state will try to squeeze the maximum advantage from the discomfiture it has brought upon itself. Speculation continues on the riddle as to why, despite repeated assurances to the contrary, the state administration fell back on a colonial-type police offensive to re-assert its authority in Nandigram. The underlying reason, informed sources suggest, was a strong message from the Salim group, who were promised vast stretches of land in the area for their chemical hub project; they might move away elsewhere,

The message said, if the land was not handed over to them within the next few weeks. That set the panic bell ringing; the sequel has been horrifying. Nothing illustrates more glaringly the spell globalization has cast on the country, even on those whose ideology and praxis should have prepared them to cope with it in a better manner. Industrialization, the rationale of which few will dispute, is being taken to be synonymous with industrialization under private auspices. To talk of industrial growth in the state sector is assumed to be heresy. Questions such as whether a particular private project will actually lead to a net increase in employment or output are discouraged too. Fables are having a field day: the private sector means efficiency to the nth degree, public enterprise is the other name for sloth, incompetence and wastage. The stunning achievements of the National Thermal Corporation, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Nalco, the Oil and

The Left Front in West Bengal is the product of a historical movement which had as its

credo the expansion of public goods and industrial growth through the deus ex machina of the public sector. Those currently in charge of the Front government in the state have apparently convinced themselves that, in the era of globalization, ideological shibboleths are poison, development ipso facto is development sponsored by the private sector, the government has only the residuary obligations to acquire land, on behalf of private tycoons, on which industry is supposed to be set up..

Supreme court Ruling

The Supreme Court ruling staying reservations in higher educational institutes like IITs and IIMs is 'unfortunate, unconstitutional and absurd', Janata Dal-United (JD-U) president Sharad Pawar said Friday. Yadav joined his Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) colleague and Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh in criticising the Supreme Court order Thursday that stayed till August the 27 percent quota for other backward classes (OBCs) in centrally run educational institutions.A furious Yadav also called for setting up a 'judicial council' to go into the selection of judges.

Marxist cries are more vocal. What happens to be the Reality and Illusion of a Marxist dalit Agenda.

Please go through all the references as quted in this writeup.Cast Hindus have stolen everything related to India. They made true indians slaves. by calling them harijans. The literature and pratice of Yoga and Ayurveda belong to Dravidians and Dalit Indias but cast Hindus destroyed Dalit heritage and occupaid and forcefully adopted the legacy.

Look at another example, Tamil and Malayalam are two dravidian languages which are older than Sanskrit but these Brahmincial ideologues falsely propogateSanskrit as the oldest language!

The Ruling elite of our nation is in the grip of delusions of grandeur. The GDP growth rate of 8% is trotted out as a sign that India is on the threshold of becoming an economic superpower. A bright future awaits India with its revitalized economic policy of liberalization, privatization and an open door policy of attracting foreign capital.

Nandigram Resistance continues well and Nandigram has come out of RED LEVEL FOLD.

Nandigram should be the launching pad for international dalit movement to destroy Brahminical Zionist World order?

Women of Adhikaripara in Nandigram refused to cooperate with the inspection team led by Mr Balbir Ram, divisional commissioner, Burdwan division and organised a demonstration before them protesting the massacre and atrocities of police on 14 March.

Mr Ram visited the places of mayhem at Bhangabera, Gokulnagar and Adhikaripara today to look over the present situation. At about 12 p.m. Mr Balbir Ram came to Bhangabhera via Khejuri along with Mr Sankar Halder, SDO, Haldia and Mr Swapan Sarkar, SDPO, Haldia.

Mr Ram asked the local people for an account of the incident of police attack on the protesters. Mr Subhasis Paik, and Mrs Dipti Patra said: "On 14 March more than three thousands 3,000 people gathered near Bhangabhera bridge to stop police advancement into the trouble torn areas. Women and children were leading the protesters while a worship ceremony was in progress at Bhangabhera. Police asked the mob to disperse from the area and fired tear gas shells. After that the police started to fire indiscriminately and beat the protesters."

Red is the colour of blood Rajat Roy Nandigram

There is clear evidence after the massacre that ‘Operation Nandigram’ was jointly conducted by the police and armed cadre of the ruling CPI(M).

There was a time when Nandigram was merely a plot of land in a backward agricultural area of West Bengal. It's now another word for carnage. Nandigram also means conspiracy and political isolation. One day, perhaps, it will be a term for harmony.

March 14, 2007, has opened up a new chapter in the contemporary history of West Bengal. It was the day a 2,000-strong police force fired at the villagers of Nandigram in coastal Midnapore, killing at least 15 people, and injuring another 70. The unofficial account puts the death toll at around 72, for several people are still missing. The state administration wanted to take control of the area where thousands of peasants have been opposing government efforts at acquiring 15,000-20,000 acres of agricultural land to set up a chemical hub — or a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) — with investment coming from the Salim group of Indonesia.

THE chief minister of West Bengal and the CPI(M) have expressed their deep distress and regret at the police firings and violence in Nandigram on March 14. Sympathisers, friends of the Left, democratic minded citizens have expressed their strong feelings on the issue. The matter is before the Kolkata High Court which has asked for more details. Once the investigation is over, action will no doubt be taken against those responsible for the excesses. The authorities have also registered FIRs on complaints of rape, made by four women several days after the reported incident. Urgent investigations are required and if found true, exemplary punishment must be meted out to those guilty. Till now two cases of rape have been confirmed by medical reports and both these are prior to the March 14 police action, the victims being CPI(M) supporters. The guilty must be brought to book and punished in these two cases also.

This is not the only violence that the people of Nandigram have faced. Less known, their stories and tragedies ignored by the national media, around three thousand men, women and children of 12 villages of Nandigram, have been forcibly driven out of their homes and have been living in camps outside Nandigram since January 3 because they are known members or sympathisers of the CPI(M). Those killed or beaten by the police, those injured in hospital, those thousands displaced in camps are almost all poor, agricultural workers, marginal peasants or artisans, a substantial number of them are dalits. The CPI(M)’s opponents speak in terms of "their poor" and "our poor". When representatives of the displaced sat on dharna in Kolkata, they were mocked at by Mamta Banerjee leader of the Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Committee (BUPC) who contemptuously brushed aside their suffering as ‘ CPI(M) drama." The NGO activists and fact-finding teams who have been to Nandigram have not included the trauma of these families even as a footnote in their reports. This is not our understanding or approach. We stand in solidarity with the families of those killed and the injured in hospital just as we do with the displaced.

Nobody has right to question Singur decision: Tata Motors

Kolkata, March 30: Dismissing criticism on the decision to set up its car plant at Singur, Tata Motors yesterday said it selected the site at the invitation of West Bengal government and nobody should question the company's decision.

"Tata Motors was not compelled to set up the plant in West Bengal. It had various options as a number of state governments had approached us and since West Bengal government also approached us for locating the plant here, Tata Motors is here today," company managing director Ravi Kant said here.

‘The task before India’s SCs, STs, OBCs, women and minorities in the third millennium is to end Brahmin hegemony’

KANCHA ILAIAH

Ever since India achieved freedom, the discourse on religious communalism has dominated the Indian intellectual sphere. Some intel-lectuals certainly seem to have realised that Hindu religion was mainly responsible for the cont-inuing communal tension. But today, as we stand at the verge of entering the third millennium, we must look at the real roots of the Hindu communalism.

Because of its Brahminical bigotry, Hindu religion has preached and practised communalism since the construction of caste system in India. Many intellectuals who wrote on communalism in India failed to understand that the real roots of communalism lie in the caste system that Brahminical Hinduism constructed from the days of Vedic ritualism. Brahminical communalism destroyed the ethical and moral strength of the sudra–chandals for the last two millennia. At least now, in the first century of the third millennium, the caste communalism itself needs to be destroyed.

Communists Conspiracy in India

CHAPTER 6 - The Role of Leftist Language

The language of Communist imperialism continued to lambast the Congress leadership, particularly Mahatma Gandhi for the latter's "failure to mobilize the toiling masses towards an immediate overthrow of the British rule in India." But when the Congress launched a mass movement in March, 1930, the spokesmen of this language kept strictly aloof from it. Instead they published a Draft Plam of Action in December, 1930 characterising the Congress as a "class organisation of the capitalists working against the fundamental interests of the toiling masses." And they tried to sabotage the freedom struggle by splitting the trade union movement over which they had acquired some hold with the help of finances flowing from the Soviet Union.

Millions face early death from hunger, thirst

Author: Fidel Castro

More than 3 million people in the world are condemned to premature death from hunger and thirst.

That is not an exaggerated figure, but rather a cautious one. I have meditated a lot on that in the wake of President Bush’s meeting with U.S. automobile manufacturers.

The sinister idea of converting food into fuel was definitively established as an economic line in U.S. foreign policy last Monday, March 26.

About 300 activists for justice gathered at City Hall in

downtown Houston on March 24 to demand full funding for human needs programs and an end to the war in Iraq. During a march through downtown Houston, the diverse group of participants chanted, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it?

Right now!"

The Coalition of Working People and the Poor called the action. It was supported by a broad coalition of labor, civil rights, religious and peace organizations, including the NAACP, AFL-CIO, Justice for Janitors, Children’s Defense Fund and Houston Peace and Justice Center. The coalition is led by Bishop James Dixon II of the Community of Faith Church.

JD(U) asks Govt not to implement SC order on OBC quota

The JD(U) on Friday asked the government not to implement the Supreme Court`s order on OBC quota in educational institutions and sought an all-party meeting to discuss the "socially negative" judgement of the courts.

Govt should consult all on SC ruling on quota: Karat

The UPA government should consult all political parties to overcome the Supreme Court stay on OBC quota in institutions of higher learning so that access to education does not remain with the privileged few, the CPI(M) said on Friday.

It is the CPIM which has not implemented reservation in Bengal and Kerala! For this will they apologize first?

The True Nandigram

Written by

Nilotpal Basu

Nandigram was in the news for the last one week. The firing that took place on the 14 th of March leading to the death of 14 evoked a major emotional response. Deaths in police firings always evoke to emotional responses, but even more so, when that takes place under a Left administration. Undoubtedly, the death of people in such an incident is regrettable and tragic. But the question is, why did it happen ?

'The overall image of the Left Front government is definitely affected after the police firing in Nandigram. The government should now reach out to more number of people and communicate with them about the necessity of industrialisation in the state,' Basu said at a party meet at the state secretariat here.Emphasising on better rehabilitation and compensation packages for the farmers, he said the state government would definitely advance in industrialisation with the support of the common people.

'We need cooperation from the local people. After all, if we want to move on with industrialisation, we have to ensure the support of common people,' said Basu, adding that the Left Front has already started campaigning for industrialisation at local levels across the state.

'I know that after the Nandigram firing, an adverse image has been created against communists across the country. We are now going to different districts and trying to make people understand about the necessity of industrialisation,' the communist leader told reporters at the party's state headquarters at Alimuddin Street here.

Karat: What really happened in Nandigram

Prakash Karat

The events in Nandigram, starting from the January 3 incident have been the subject of a heated controversy. A feature of this political tussle has been the concerted attempt to attack the Communist Party of India-Marxist on the grounds that it is taking an anti-peasant stance in favour of big companies. It is accused of using the police for this purpose.

http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/mar/23karat.htm

On the solidarity of the Left Front partners, Basu said: 'The Left partners must be careful to strengthen their unity in future.'

After Nandigram, what happens, see, an empowered Group of Ministers, headed by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, will meet next week to discuss issues on special economic zones and relaxation norms for such SEZs, Union IT and Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran said on Friday!

Maran, also a part of the eGOM, was talking to reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration of the joint venture between Reliable Freight Forwarders Pvt Ltd with Hong Kong based Kerry Logistics.

Maran was hopeful that the SEZs, which have been approved in Tamil Nadu but were put on hold due to the controversy over land acquisition for the SEZS in various states, would be given the go-ahead as most of the SEZs in the state were being set up on Small Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu land.

India's external debt at $142.7 billion

According to Forbes, the 2007 rankings indicate that globalisation is the essential element for business to prosper.India's external debt has risen by $6.2 billion to $142.7 billion at the end of December 2006 on account of the surge in corporate borrowings in foreign countries and deposits by non-resident Indians.

According to the figures released by the finance ministry on Friday, the country's debt increased from $136.5 billion (Rs 627,112 crore) at the end of September 2006 to $142.7 billion (Rs 632,051 crore) as on December 31, 2006.

Analysts said with interest rates continuing to rise in the domestic market, companies are still finding it cheaper to borrow from abroad.

Long-term debt outstanding increased over the quarter by $6.798 billion to $132.641 billion, while short-term debt declined by $610 million (5.7 per cent) to $10.015 billion as on December-end 2006.

And Kamal Nath hails French investment in India's luxury sector

New Delhi, March 30 (IANS) Hailing the growing collaboration between India and France in the luxury sector over the years, Commerce Minister Kamal Nath inaugurated the second luxury conference in the capital Friday. At the conference organised by media house Hindustan Times and its newly launched financial daily Mint, Kamal Nath said: 'We welcome France's investment in India's luxury sector. India has a large potential in raw materials. Leather, handloom and other fabrics are sourced from India and our aim is to increase the trade that will lead to the creation of more jobs here'. Saying the food processing industry needed to be focused upon, he said he would discuss the industry with the French delegation. 'We will also be looking at the French small and medium enterprises and are expecting more French delegations to visit India.'

Terming France and India's trade relations as a 'honeymoon', France's Foreign Trade Minister Christine Lagarde said there has been a 37 percent increase in exports from France to India.

'The overall trade stands at slightly below five billion euros and there are 400 French companies set up in India,' she said.

Lagarde said that India was one of the top five countries that France was targeting for investments and exports.

Over 10 luxury brands, like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Piaget, Salvatore Ferragamo, Hermes, Lancome and Martell, are participating in the two-day conference Friday and Saturday.

Government waging war against farmers: Vandana Shiva

By IANS

Friday March 30, 04:24 PM

New Delhi, March 30 (IANS) The Indian government has declared a kind of war against the poor and marginal farmers who are also up in arms against its regressive policies, environmental scientist Vandana Shiva said Friday.

'The government has declared a war against India's small farmers. And war against farmers means war against 65 percent of the population,' Shiva told a press conference here.

Referring to the recent killings in Nandigram in West Bengal and large-scale farmer suicides in Vidharbha, Maharashtra, she said: 'Our government is encouraging the throw-away policies of the West and pushing them through violence.'

According to her, policies driven by corporate globalisation are pushing farmers off the land and peasants out of agriculture, which is against the natural evolutionary process.

She said: 'The government, by encouraging big business houses like Reliance, Wal-Mart, Monsanto, Cargill is trying to corporatise agriculture.'

'When the world is moving beyond the Wal-Mart model and the Americans are thinking of re-ruralisation, we are being asked to dismantle our mandis (wholesale markets), our haats (rural markets), increase food miles and aggravate climate chaos.'

'A small bio-diverse farm has higher productivity than large industrial farms which contribute to climate change,' Shiva added referring to a recent address by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to an industry body that small landholdings limit the chances to improve agricultural productivity.

On the issue of using genetically modified seeds and chemical fertilisers, she said: 'The soil looses fertility through chemical fertilisers.'

As a solution to the problem, Shiva is planning to create a re-agricultural strategy in Nandigram and Vidharbha and formulate a food security system.

Cautioning the government about the upcoming general elections in 2009, she said: 'If the anti-farmer and pro-corporate policies continue to be pushed by the prime minister the entire government will have to pay a heavy price.'

Andhra assembly passes resolution on reservations

By IANS

Friday March 30, 05:21 PM

Hyderabad, March 30 (IANS) The Andhra Pradesh state legislative assembly Friday unanimously passed a resolution urging the central government to take all necessary measures to ensure 27 percent reservation for other backward classes (OBCs) in central educational institutions.

The Supreme Court Thursday stayed the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's move to reserve 27 percent seats for OBCs in higher educational institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) from the next academic year.

The issue rocked the state assembly on the last day of the budget session with the entire opposition stalling the proceedings to demand a debate on the issue.

http://nandigramlalsalam.blogspot.com/2007/03/team-up-follow-money-india-shines.html

Putting the government on the back foot, in a setback to pro-reservationists, the Supreme Court has stayed the central law providing for 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in elite educational institutions like IITs and IIMs.The court held that the 1931 census could not be a determinative factor for identifying the OBCs for the purpose of providing reservation.A bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and Lokeshwar Singh Panta, however, said the quota for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes could be implemented by the central government in these educational institutions. It passed this interim order on a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006, providing for 27 percent quota for OBCs.

The bench said: "There is no dispute and in fact it was fairly accepted by the additional solicitor general (ASG) that there is need for periodical identification of the backward citizens and for this purpose the need for survey of the entire population on the basis of an acceptable mechanism."

Rejecting the government's move to grant reservation on the basis of the 1931 caste-based census data, the bench said: "What may have been relevant in the 1931 census may have some relevance but cannot be the determinative factor. Backwardness has to be based on objective factors whereas inadequacy has to factually exist.

The petitioners, Youth for Equality and other student bodies, had challenged the law contending that there had never been any determination of educational backwardness on any acceptable basis.The parameters provided in the Backward Classes Act had not been kept in view, they argued, adding that without supportable data the introduction of a statute, which would have the effect of disturbing social harmony, was avoidable. They said the statute had lost sight of the social catastrophe it was likely to unleash and sought quashing of the impugned law.

On December 14, 2006 the Lok Sabha had passed the Bill providing 27 per cent reservation to OBCs in Central-aided educational institutions unanimously with the promise that a bill on unaided institutes will follow January 7 the decision on OBC quotas was notified.But in mid January this year, the Supreme Court put a spanner in the works by ruling that laws included in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution after April 24, 1973, were open to judicial review. In other words, the government would not be able to take so called 'populist' measures. Later in the same month, the Supreme Court asked the Centre to explain why it should not stay the decision to implement 27 per cent quota in higher educational institutions for the Other Backward Classes reacting to a Petition challenging the notification.

Supreme Court’s verdict on the OBC quota is being seen as a big set back to the UPA government especially before the UP elections.

And This Is The OBC Reality IN India!

'84 riots: Three get life term

Thursday, March 29, 2007 (New Delhi)
Three people have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court for lynching three members of a Sikh family during the 1984 riots.A fine of Rs 5,000 each was imposed on the convicts - Harprasad Bhardwaj, R P Tiwari and Jagdish Giri.However, the court rejected the prosecution's contention that the offence fell under the 'rarest of the rare' category for which the three convicts should get death penalty.

There was no way a Dalit could enter a Brahmin's home or the temples at that time, in the 1850s.
The Muslims got education because learning centres were in madarssas or mosques.Dalits were barred from there too. Only when the British started modern education in 1854 after Charles Wood's Dispatch, (popularly known as the 'Magna Carta' of English education. Wood gave clever recommendation for spread of British governance and education in India through English) did Macaulay's system came into force.In 1857, the British announced that admission should not be denied on basis of caste, gender or class. There were riots in certain parts of India, people burnt schools. By 1890, the British had to start separate schools for untouchables. Some of which exist today, although, for different reasons.Lord Macaulay is the man who also developed the Indian Penal Code and told Indians that everybody is equal before the law. Before him Brahmins used to get away with nominal penalty for a serious crime and for the same crime Dalits could be killed.

Kanshi Ram did everything possible to unite OBCs, Dalits and minorities but Muslims or OBCs didn't accept him as a leader, finally he figured out that it is these (OBCs and Muslims) people, whom he considered as the natural allies of Dalits, were tormenting the Dalits.

Brahmins have been thrown out of the political system so Mayawati has taken them into the Bahujan Samaj!

However, the man who has been in the eye of the storm for his pro-reservation stand, HRD minister Arjun Singh was more guarded in his response to the Supreme Court verdict saying that Centre will explore all legal options.

"I am convinced that the Supreme Court will also get convinced that the law is valid," Singh told reporters after the apex Court ordered staying of the law providing 27 per cent reservation to OBCs in elite educational institutions.

As soon as the apex court delivered its verdict, the reactions poured in thick and fast.

The CPI(M) also had strong words on the judgment with party General Secretary Prakash Karat calling it "unfortunate and uncalled for". But what is the reality of Bengal comrade? Has the West
Bengal ruling left has not stalled the Identification of OBC ? Do they implement SC ST quota?
Why the left has to enact a Nandigram against muslims while they support sachhar report? Why the dalit, minority, BC, OBC and tribal peasants are being evicted from their land? Why the dalit refugees are most hated in West Bengal? Globalisation and privatisation have made constitutional reservation irrelevent. Then why the Left is so eager for open market economy, SEZ and Neoliberalism destroying the indegineous production system?

Comrades pose in favour of underclasses while in their bases the underclasses are Deprived Most, Dipressed Most and massacred in Marichjahnpi and nandigarm! Over the years there has been a steady liberalisation of the current account transactions, more and more sectors opened up for foreign direct investments and portfolio investments facilitating entry of foreign investors in telecom, roads, ports, airports, insurance and other major sectors. More and more Globalisation means more and more Deaths for Rural India!

Vidya Bhushan Rawatwrites in his article` Debating Discrimination, Differences And Dissent In Our Part Of The World’

07 February, 2007
Countercurrents.org

`The issue of racial discrimination has been in the news for quite some time. Some Indian pretended that they have been discriminated against in Britain while rarely speaking that India does not have its own house in order. Despite 60 years of independence India has not been able to transform itself into a modern state, in terms of freedom, dissent and life of the common men. Though it may be a great satisfaction for some of us that India surrounded by autocratic military dictators still managed to strive the political democracy but instead of basking on the glory of 'successful democracy', we need to introspect our persistent failures of social life. If democracy has not reached the last man as envisaged by Gandhi or if social life does not convert into a social democracy as envisaged by Dr Ambedkar, Indians all over the world need to investigate that without empowering common man, India can neither claim a powerful nation nor an intellectual giant which many of the commentators do not stop claiming all the time. Pakistan has the same problem though it is not a democratic state yet its ruler claims a secular army and a working democracy on various occasions. Question is democracy is thwarted by the identity politics and undemocratic caste Panchayats. They are a threat but these caste panchayats are now being modernized in the name of new identity assertion among every one from the non-resident Indians to urban Indians under various shades and names. This assertion reinforces and justifies the age-old traditions in the name of culture. It jump on the bogey of victimization as soon as an elite of its own class face discrimination as in the case of Shilpa Shetty but remain conspicuously silent on the issue of its own contradictions and discriminations. Hence the Indians, Pakistanis and the other South Asians would rarely speak on their own track record of discrimination against ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities in their own country. Oppression of women is always justified in the name of culture and vigorously defended.”

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) board of the Indian Institutes of Technology, which recently notified the Centre that it would implement the 27 per cent quota for OBCs in phases, will review the issue in light of Supreme Court's order today staying the reservations. The JEE, scheduled for April 8, was to have a nine per cent quota for OBCs in the first phase of the implementation of the reservations in the coming academic year. Following the apex court's order, a top official of IIT- Mumbai said the institute will abide by the ruling and follow directives accordingly. Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh proclaimed on Thursday that Hindus would polarise in favour of the party in India's most populous state, shortly going to poll.Asked what gave him the impression that Hindus will not prefer to vote for other political parties, he said, "Well, they have clearly seen that all other political parties, including Bahujan Samaj Party, Congress and the ruling Samajwadi Party, were blatantly indulging in Muslim appeasement."

The Centre's decision to enforce 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in the elite educational institutions from this year came in for scrutiny in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, which wanted to know how it could be implemented without the determination of relevant data.

"Without relevant determinable data how can we go ahead with the Act," observed a Bench comprising Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice L S Panta.

"Unless and until it is determined by the Centre who is socially and economically backward, this Act cannot really be given effect," the Bench said as the anti-quota petitioners opposed implementation of the law on the ground that a 75-year-old census could not be the basis for identifying other backward classes.

Pro-reservation parties today attacked the Supreme Court judgment staying reservation for backward classes in elite educational institutions and sought Parliament's "intervention" while the Government made it clear that Parliament will stick to the law. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, whose state is a pioneer in the affirmative action and has reservations up to 74 per cent, expressed shock over the judgment. However, Congress and the BJP were ambiguous and not forthcoming in their reactions while anti-reservation outfits hailed the order staying the recent central law providing for 27 per cent reservation for backward classes in IITs, IIMs and central universities.

Former Prime Minister V P Singh, who was responsible for the implementation for backward classes in central services, sought implementation of the law providing for reservation for them in educational institutions, while a fresh census can be made to ascertain the number of people belonging to backward classes.

Indian Justice Party chief Udit Raj said he deplored the judgment which he felt was "meddling" with the law passed by Parliament.

The Youth For Equality, a student grouping which spearheaded the anti-quota stir, welcomed the judgment describing it a "victory of the people and a victory for the common man against politicians, who had tried to divide the society on the basis of caste".

UPA partner CPI came out with the strongest reaction calling the judgment "retrograde" which it said would not help in implementation of policies to ensure social justice and equality. It said the government should have intervened even when the apex court questioned the ninth schedule of the Constitution.

DANGE’S BULLSHIT BOOK
Not many may remember how the corrupt manuvadi marxist Dange left only around Rs. 70 crore (when he died) for his daughter, Roza Deshpande, who was named after Rosa Luxembourg, the German Jewish “communist revolutionary”. Not many may remember the great founder-chairman of India’s Communist Party, Dange, wrote a bullshit book saying that the entire wisdom of Karl Marx is derived from the vaidik Vedanta. For writing this nonsense, he was expelled from the party itself. Such is the treachery of these manuvadi marxists.

Not many may know that Dange’s daughter, Roza Deshpande, is now close to the Hindu prime terrorist party, RSS.

For India’s Brahminical people there is no permanent party. They have only permanent interests. At that time marxism served their interests and today the RSS is serving them better.

Why should we blame Hindu nazis alone? In any case Hindu nazis are our honest enemies who openly reveal their agenda. Editor V.T. Rajshekar rightly calls them “Sacred Brahmins”. Is it any surprise that as Hindu nazis mature politically, they will start mouthing “secular” dialogues to fool the people? The antics of yet another Brahmin marxist called E.M.S. Namboodiripad, the “Modern Shankara” of Kerala, has already been amply exposed and documented several times in Dalit Voice. (V.T. Rajshekar, How Marx Failed in Hindu India? DSA-1988).

Globalisation Resistance In Latin america

Fidel castro and Chavez have been Left icons for indian communists, but none of the communist leaders care enough to study the Resistance of Globalisation in Latin america. Contrarily, after Naxalbari, no communist in India ever liked any affliation with china and maoism. But the follow Chinese line of glabalisation blindly. Why? Venezuela has emerged as an ally of Cuba, the only country in Latin America which has not implemented wholesale privatisation.Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez is almost alone in implementing a left-populist political project in contradiction to neoliberal convention. He is strengthening his base of support among the poor and has won several crucial referenda. As the world's third largest petroleum exporter, Venezuela under Chávez, has revitalised the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. He has encouraged OPEC to raise and stabilise oil prices by restricting production.

Said the CM of Left ruled bengal, "I take responsibility for the lapses in Nandigram on behalf of the state government. I don't want any more deaths or bloodshed in the state, and I, on behalf of my government, take the full moral responsibility for lapses in Nandigram." But he stays without showing any shame! If you accept the responsibility of a Genocide, whatever may be the circumstances,why don`t you resign? In fact, on the face of it, Buddha may have given into pressure. But reading between the lines, the West Bengal Chief Minister stood his ground. He might have scrapped the project to build a chemical hub in Nandigram but he definitely did not rule out the possibility of it being relocated. Infact, he said that he was awaiting the Centre's communication before announcing its new location within seven days. Cuba is experiencing perhaps the strongest economic growth in Latin America despite the enormous hardships caused by the US-imposed blockade. Cuba resists capitalist globalisation by providing a voice for the Third World countries in the United Nations, condemning the practices of imperialist economic domination such as unequal terms of trade, unserviceable debt and resource plundering, and sets a positive example by providing doctors and teachers to many countries, including offering scholarships for US blacks to study medicine in Cuba.

Cuba also educates and mobilises its people in the streets to oppose capitalist globalisation. In Havana, on October 18, 800,000 people marched to protest the passage of new US laws which tightened food and medicine sales to Cuba.

The Left under Jyoti basu and Surjeet leadership ressisted globalisation and neoliberalism in India. Basu never allowed corporates to play in bengal. Scenerio cahnged with CPIM leadership change.Till the nineties the process of globalisation of the Indian economy was constrained by the barriers to trade and investment liberalisation of trade, investment and financial flows initiated in the nineties has progressively lowered the barriers to competition and hastened the pace of globalisation Now Globalisation is so paced in India that ruling Brhminical zionist imperialist Feudalist fascist ruling class has no hesitation to justify Nandigram genocide!

India opened up the economy in the early nineties following a major crisis that led by a foreign exchange crunch that dragged the economy close to defaulting on loans. The response was a slew of Domestic and external sector policy measures partly prompted by the immediate needs and partly by the demand of the multilateral organisations. The new policy regime radically pushed forward in favour of amore open and market oriented economy.

Those who were against Thundering Spring, now follow Chinese Line!

After a 10-year reign, the CPM 's student wing, Students Federation of India, has been voted out of power from the premier Jadavpur University Arts Faculty Students' Council, with the rival outfit attributing its victory to the outrage over Nandigram violence.

Popular resistance to globalization and neoliberalism in Latin America is extensive and has been increasing both in scale and intensity. The polyarchic neoliberal regimes in Latin America have responded to this increasing popular resistance by relying on two types of measures: (1) tactical measures aimed at suppressing eruptions of popular resistance; and (2) more strategic measures aimed at preventing or at least maintaining within manageable limits the growing resistance to their policies. The United States Government and the main international financial institutions operating in the region have played a major role in both developing the second type of measures and assisting most of the Latin American governments to implement these measures.
From the laboratory of neoliberalism-popularly known as "globalization" -Latin America has transformed itself into a launching pad for resistance. As globalization began to spread its devastation, robust and thoughtful opposition emerged in response-in the recovered factory movement of Argentina, in the presidential elections of indigenous leaders and radicals like Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales, against the privatization of water in Bolivia. Across Latin America, people are building social movements to take back control of their countries and their lives.

Dispatches from Latin America reports on countries from Mexico to Argentina to map the contemporary political and social territory. Drawn from the pages of the well-respected NACLA Report, this collection offers a riveting series of accounts that bring new insight into the region's struggles and victories.

With shrewd analysis rendered in accessible language, Dispatches lays plain the complex and vitally important conditions unfolding in 21st-century Latin America.

"After suffering half a century of vicious military dictatorship and state terror, and the disaster of rigid adherence to the neoliberal doctrines of the "Washington consensus," Latin America has undergone remarkable changes that offer real hope for a better future. Among the most promising signs are the dynamic mass movements that have engaged the traditionally marginalized and repressed majorities in political and social life as nowhere else, with popular assemblies, worker-run factories, participatory budgets, grassroots political activism, and much more.’

The impact of globalization is not felt by in some sort of abstraction worldwide, but by real people in individual countries. They claim:"Having faced the debt crisis in the eighties, Latin America countries have been making determined efforts for over a decade to reform their economies, implement sound economic management, and integrate with the global economy. These efforts redoubled after the Mexican crisis and strengthened further in the wake of the Asian and Russian crises, as external financing dried up and commodity prices slumped. Most Latin American economies have not retreated behind protectionist barriers, nor have they rolled back liberalization measures introduced earlier; instead, they have shown a commitment to act decisively and to carefully adapt their policy stances." (Michel Camdessus, Managing Director IMF 1999)

“Negotiating a free-trade agreement with the U.S. is not something one has a right to - it’s a privilege." [1] This quote from US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick came to mind when the BBC reported former head of Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, US army General Karpinski on policy at the US concentration camp in Guantanamo. Karpinski quoted former Guantanamo commander Major General Miller saying , "At Guantanamo Bay we learned that the prisoners have to earn every single thing that they have." She went on, "He said they are like dogs and if you allow them to believe at any point that they are more than a dog then you’ve lost control of them."

Centre not clear on demilitarization: Omar Abdullah
NDTV Correspondent
Thursday, March 29, 2007 (Jammu)
National Conference President Omar Abdullah said that the Centre was not clear over the issue of demilitarization in Jammu and Kashmir.He was speaking at a rally in Jammu.

Abdullah said PDP does not fully represent the people of the state and the views of other parties will also have to be taken into account before making a final decision on this issue.

"The return of troops is an issue, we have to accept this. But it's not the issue of just one party. It's not only concerning Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Mehbooba Mufti, but it concerns the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh," he said.

Abdullah also said any attempt to discuss the issue only with the PDP will prove counterproductive.

Democrats turn up the heat on Bush over Iraq
Houston Chronicle - 8 hours ago
By NOAM LEVEY. WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats, emboldened by their successes in advancing timelines to end the war in Iraq, stepped up pressure Wednesday on the White House to accede to limits on America's military involvement.

The Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, today attacked George Bush's new-found fondness for biofuels, warning that food stocks for millions of people could be threatened.
In his first foray into international politics following months of recuperation from intestinal surgery, Mr Castro claimed that valuable agricultural land in poorer countries could be taken over for biofuel crops destined for wealthier nations.

Mr Castro made his attack in an article for the communist party daily, Granma, which was headlined: "Condemned to premature death by hunger and thirst - more than 3 billion people of the world."

Noam Chomsky: We should bear in mind that a few centuries ago, India and China were the commercial and manufacturing centers of the world. As recently as the 1860s, England was concerned that it could not compete with Chinese manufactures -- one of the reason why it forced Opium on China. What we look at today is the result of a few centuries of violence and conquest, which might be reversed and modified -- surely should be. What China will become is very hard to say. Little is understood about matters of this complexity.

As for "permanent relations," these do not exist. Relations can always change, and always do. But it makes sense to have some kind of relatively orderly framework for international relations, including economic relations. The question is what should they be. Should they be designed for the interests of investors, lenders, manufacturing corporations, investment firms, etc.? Or for the interests of the general population? The answers are complex, and lead to quite different conceptions of how relatively stable relations should be established. There is, furthermore, a very important point that your question brings up. It is now largely conceded that the point of NAFTA was not to yield the economic benefits that were widely proclaimed (and by now disproven). Rather, to "lock Mexico into the reforms" of the 1980s, by arrangements that could not easily be changed if a more democratic government came about. These "reforms" were fine for US investors and rich Mexicans, but a disaster for most of the population. Real wages declines sharply during the "reforms," and have been declining further since NAFTA. These are some reasons to be skeptical about arrangements that are made to appear "permanent."

Washington D.C.: A shift in information results in a shift in the balance of power. Will this theory apply economically and or militarily to the United States if PNTR is passed?

Noam Chomsky: I'm not sure I grasp the question. There are shifts in control over information, some quite significant. One example is the increasing concentration of media control, quite startling over the past 20 years (that includes not just press, but what is often called "popular culture" generally). There are also serious questions about the future of the internet. Like most dynamic sectors of the economy, this is largely the product of the vast state sector, meaning that the public bore the costs and risks for several decades, until it was handed over to private power, as a huge gift from the public (which was uanaware), just a few years ago. What the future of this system will be is now a terrain of struggle. When it was under public control, it was commonly called an "information superhighway." Now the catchword is "e-commerce". Something else we should remember is that for centuries, and particularly in the 20th century, creating "artificial wants" and stimulating wild and harmful consumerism has been quite consciously regarded as an effective device of social control. These are very live issues. I suspect they are not what you had in mind, but that I did not grasp.

Acquisition
of land by Govt for private cos to stop Harish Damodaran Bill to be tabled
in the current session of Parliament
New Delhi March 27
Call it the SEZ-Nandigram effect. The Centre is all set to table, in the
current session of Parliament, a Bill that puts a virtual stop on future
governmental acquisition of lands for private companies and restricts the
definition of `public purpose'
under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Budget Session "The note proposing
the necessary amendments to the Act is being circulated among the Ministries
concerned (Commerce, Water Resources, Power, Environment, Rural Development,
etc). It would then be put before the Cabinet and perhaps a Group of
Ministers. The idea is to place the Bill when the Budget session reconvenes
on April 26," highly placed sources told Business Line. The Bill, they
said, plans to dispense with Part VII of the Act, specifically dealing with
governmental land acquisitions for `companies' (in the private sector). This
is in contrast to those made on behalf of State-owned companies and
departments, purportedly for `public purposes'. Holdout Ratio "Once the
amendment is carried out, there will be no Part VII. The Government would have
no further role in acquisitions for corporates. An exception may be made in
certain holdout case, where the latter has already bought 90 per
cent or so of the required land. The holdout ratio for the Government to step
in may be set between 10 and 30 per cent," the sources added. They,
however, clarified that the proposed amendment would have only prospective
effect and "will not impact past Government-aided acquisitions, including for
the already notified Special Economic Zones." The distinction between land
acquisition for `companies' and for `public purpose' was originally made in a
1984 amendment to the Act. While Government purchase of land in general
requires a declaration that it is intended for a `public purpose', there is
no such need if the acquisition is made for a corporate. Sovereign Power
"When the 1984 amendment was introduced, there was a felt need to promote
industries in backwar

Would the bloodstream from the valiants' chests
Would the flow of tears from the mothers' eyes
All get lost and turn useless in the dust beneath our feet?
- Tagore

The blood that has flown has apparently not gone all waste. Had it been so the tragedy would have turned even more tragic.

Nandigram is the destination of Indian Neoliberalism which has to be repeated again and again as the Global order has capture natural resources of India evicting Rural India to sustain Developed Economies in Debt and Recession!

The Zionist corporate Imperialism has alligned with Anti Muslim, Anti Dalit, Anti Black, Anti Tribal Brahminical Hindutva and Globalisation well shaped as and in Post Modern Manusmriti!

Whenever Buddha Dev Bahattacharjee talks on Capitalist Development, he follws the leaders of all thirs world countries who croosing over ideologies and political colors are quietly engaged with Neoliberalism.Neoliberalism is the defining political economic paradigm of our time - it refers to the policies and processes whereby a relative handful of private interests are permitted to control as much as possible of social life in order to maximize their personal profit. Associated initially with Reagan and Thatcher, neoliberalism has for the past two decades been the dominant global political economic trend adopted by political parties of the center, much of the traditional left, and the right. These parties and the policies they enact represent the immediate interests of extremely wealthy investors and less than one thousand large corporations.
Globalization is hailed by the pundits as an irresistible natural force. It's like gravity, they say. Just accept it and go on with your life. A contrary view says this international economic order is nothing more than old wine in a new bottle. Powerful transnational institutions like the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are the main instruments and implementors of globalization. Nations and communities trying to maintain sovereignty, protect human rights and preserve the environment are under attack as they confront the latest version of capitalism.
