Israel-Palestine conflict: India has to clarify which side of history it supports

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*
'Ruled based' hypocrisy openly visible in 'liberal' democratic' 'spaces' of western media. How long this rule based destruction be allowed in #Gaza? When will #Israel be made accountable for the horrific crime against humanity in #Palestine?
This is an unprecedented crisis purely created by the western world and it's hypocrisy in defining and building narrative about Palestine. A historic issue was kept deliberately boiling so to control puppet authoritarian regimes in the middle east. Even a resolution Regarding #Israel is opposed vehemently by the 'rule based ' colonial democracies.
India has to see which side of the history it supports. Historical facts are that India supported Palestinian right to exist like Israel. We can't allow the killing of innocent citizens and bombing of hospitals. How do you tolerate killing of children.
In this age of propaganda, we need to be extremely careful of forwarding any video or photograph but let us be clear that it is the issue of denial of rights to Palestine. It is not a Jews Muslim issue. The Jews were victimized by the Germans and Europeans but the jews have their anger on Palestinian and this is the biggest irony.
For the Manustream 'tamashbins' enjoying these bombing and killings, I can only say that nothing is bigger than living together and respecting each other's values. We have lived together side by side and for centuries and that is the only solution. Hatred never result in any solution. Israel has best technology but still it lives in uncertainty. It can destroy Gaza but created more enemies than it could handle. The people are now asking question. You cannot keep your country on tenterhooks for ever as democratic societies can't function in military machoism. Ultimately, war has never brought any solution. The real danger is the escalation and it must not be allowed.
Let good sense prevail.

To Sonam Wangchuk: 'Will undertake 70 hour solidarity fast in Gujarat'

By Martin Macwan * Dear Colleague Sonam Wangchuk, I have never met you personally. I wrote a short article at the time of your arrest. Your work correctly introduces you. There is truth in your words. You have embarked on a fast, following the footsteps of Gandhiji. Your intention is to make people think. Your demand is reasonable; I believe that the resignation of a single education minister will not improve the state of education in India. However, the question you have raised is extremely important for the future generation of the marginalized. Education is the key to power, development, and progress, which empowers a citizen.

Remembering Rampur ka Tiraha: State violence and the birth of Uttarakhand’s struggle

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat* In the turbulent political landscape of the early 1990s, India witnessed events that reshaped its social and regional equations. After the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992, Uttar Pradesh politics shifted dramatically, bringing the Samajwadi Party–Bahujan Samaj Party coalition to power in 1993 under Mulayam Singh Yadav. But the partnership was uneasy. Mulayam was never entirely comfortable playing the “Mandal card.” While Kanshi Ram and the BSP had consistently demanded the implementation of the Mandal Commission recommendations, Mulayam hesitated, wary of how the move might play out.
