Hold peace talks with Pakistan, send aid mission to Palestine: Modi urged

By A Representative 
The Socialist Party (India) has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting that the government drop its plan to send seven delegations of political leaders abroad to present India’s position on terrorism. Instead, the party recommends sending one delegation to Pakistan to begin a dialogue process supported by confidence-building steps.
In an open letter signed by Sandeep Pandey, General Secretary (photo), Shahid Saleem, National Committee Member, and journalist Rosamma Thomas, the party states that improved relations with Pakistan could help address the Kashmir issue and concerns related to terrorism.
The letter further suggests using the funds saved from the global tours to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine. The party proposes that India coordinate a mission to air-drop aid supplies and inform Israel in advance of such a plan. Other countries could be invited to join the effort, and if no other country participates, the party suggests India proceed independently.
The party also proposes that volunteers from the armed forces be invited to participate in such a mission and expresses confidence that there would be sufficient interest. It calls on the Prime Minister to support this initiative and lead efforts to provide aid to Palestine.
The letter was sent to the Prime Minister by email and includes contact details of the signatories.

The making of a self-made woman: How eighty sheep changed everything for Kalawati Ninama

By Vikas Meshram*  About forty-two kilometres from Rajasthan's Banswara district, in the tribal heartland of Ghatol block, lies the small village of Ubapana. This is where Kalawati Ninama, her husband Dhulji, and their four children make their home. Their days unfold much like those of their neighbours—bustling mornings, long hours of farm labour through the afternoon, and evenings spent tending livestock. For this family, farming and livestock were once simply a means of putting food on the table. Today, they have become the sturdy foundation of something far greater: genuine self-sufficiency.

India has spent billions on skilling. Where are the jobs?

By Vikas Gupta   India loves the photograph of a certificate ceremony. A minister on a stage. A banner bearing the word “skill.” Young people holding folders that promise a future. It is a reassuring image because it tells us the problem has a manageable answer: train the young, make them job-ready, and work will follow.
