Spectres of Nuclear ‘MAD’ness : Between Deterrence and Survival
by K M Seethi

https://countercurrents.org/2021/08/spectres-of-nuclear-madness-between-deterrence-and-survival/

With the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) in place, is there an optimistic scenario of a nuclear-weapon free world? This might certainly be a difficult but persistently challenging question the world has been grappling with ever since the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastated by atomic bombs, way back in 1945.

This comment was written last year to mark 78th anniversary of the Quit India Movement. The same is re-issued for your reading on the 79th anniversary of that great movement of the Indian people inspired by the will to freedom



Nomad America? 
 by Philip A Farruggio

https://countercurrents.org/2021/08/nomad-america/

In a nutshell, many working stiffs are perhaps a few paychecks away from becoming what I will call Economic Nomads. As it is, when less than 10 % of private sector working stiffs belong to unions, the dice will fall the wrong way. The goal of the Super Rich is to see more of us forced to become part time workers with little or no benefits, or if full time, to be Independent Contractors with again no benefits or protections



Political brinkmanship in Kashmir

How else does one make sense of the deafening silence in Kashmir on this psychopathic obsession with inanities and utter senselessness of those in power, involving this stupidity of renaming our schools, roads and buildings in Kashmir, and that too in ‘memory” of those who nobody knows or even has heard of here in Kashmir.

Some of the most hearwarming memories of the recent Olympic Games for India will remain of sportspersons from humble backgrounds overcoming very heavy odds to perform very well at the biggest international sports event. Whether their hard work and perseverence resulted  in medals or not, the great effort they put in won widespread admiration.



I got a little tired of believing
by Dr A V Koshy

https://countercurrents.org/2021/08/i-got-a-little-tired-of-believing/

Most of all I got
a little tired of believing
that Modi knows what he is doing
anymore than Shah or Yogi
anymore than any human being
and the Sensex must be lying
and that inflation is good
and the price of petrol has to keep going up
and that many have to die
for the good of one
so the nation can be great again –
all a lot of trash and tripe.
