Dear Friend,
Unless there is a change, the plastic problem appears likely to keep growing. In 1950, the world produced only about 2 million tons compared to over 300 million tons in present times. The UN has taken a first step by adding plastic waste to the Basel agreement on hazardous waste — 187 countries have signed up, the US under the Trump administration remains an exception.
Vidya Bharati, the education wing of the RSS, which already runs 20,000 schools across India, would be running this military school as well. It is being said that this Army School will follow the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum and will have classes running from Class 6 to Class 12.

Neoliberalism, Neofascism & Trumpism – Racist Alliance Of Mob & Capital
by Dr Gideon Polya
https://countercurrents.org/
Philosopher Hannah Arendt found common causes of genocidal Western European imperialism on 5 continents and genocidal 20th century fascism as an alliance between the mob and capital, with a commonality in this union of extreme nationalism, lying, rapacity, atrocity-justifying racism and anti-humanism. Today American Trumpism is ferociously anti-intellectual, anti-humanist, nationalist and racist, with genocidal Trump threats to “totally destroy” or “obliterate”. Rampant US Trumpism is paralleled by UK Brexiteers, and by burgeoning Central European, Brazilian and Australian neo-fascists and Trumpists.

They are Chharas- Not “Criminals”
by Rudrakar Mondal
https://countercurrents.org/
Listed originally under Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 as Criminal Tribes and “addicted to the systematic commission of non-bailable offenses”, also known as “Vimukta Jati”. Around 110 million people belonging to these tribes. CTA 1952, repealed the notification, i.e. ‘de-notified’ the tribal communities. They were replaced by a series of Habitual Offenders Acts, that asked the police to investigate a “suspect’s” “criminal tendencies“. They are one of the 198 communities that were labeled as born criminals by the British.
Sex Workers in India – Life in a “Gutter”
by Tanya Kumar
https://countercurrents.org/
In a system which is so biased against sex workers where they are refused basic access to healthcare and police protection, if the judiciary also treats them in a demeaning manner, where are we headed?
A cry for help from the womb
by Mahima Rastogi
https://countercurrents.org/
The recent revelation of shocking data by the government that not even a single girl was born in ‘132 villages’ in the last three months suggests of suspicious sex-selective abortions. I believe that the deep social, religious and cultural norms that exist in our nation are to be held responsible for such instances.

Clothing a Naked Emperor: The BJP’s Attacks on Gandhi and Nehru
by Romi Mahajan
https://countercurrents.org/
These attacks, no matter how vicious, serve not to destroy these figures– who tread the air above the din of calumny –but instead to dismantle the current society that each of us inhabits and derives sustenance from and to undo the last vestiges of science, rationalism, and humanism extant in India. The BJP brass knows this- they burn effigies of people from the past to terrorize those who exist in the present. They redact history to control the present and the future.
