On the Edge of a Nuclear Abyss
by
Edward Curtin
I believe that today we are in the greatest danger of a nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, something I vividly remember as a teenager. The same feelings return. Dread. Anxiety. Breathlessness. I do not think these feelings are misplaced nor they are simply an emotional response. I try to continue writing on other projects that I have started but feel stymied. The possibility of nuclear war, whether intentional or accidental, obsesses me.
Behind the thick cloud over Ukraine
by Farooque Chowdhury
A thick cloud is now shrouding Ukraine, once a part of the erstwhile Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Sufferings of about two million people from Ukraine are now overwhelming all around the world
Finding a Solution to the Conflict in Ukraine
by Yanis Iqbal
Ending the turmoil in Ukraine will involve weakening the power of this decadent elite and crafting a new social contract that can promote equitable socio-economic growth and establish a multi-ethnic compact.
Empathy Exercise: What If The Zionists Invaded, Devastated, And Ethnically Cleansed Australia Too?
by Dr Gideon Polya
The West has rightly and vigorously responded to the evil and war criminal Russian invasion of Ukraine but it hypocritically ignores US, US Alliance and Apartheid Israeli invasions of numerous countries in living memory.
Monster See Monster Do!!
by Philip A Farruggio
Now we have this USA Two Party/One Party government throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the Russians.
Followed by most of the aforementioned nations ( excluding China) they will sanction Russia up the kazoo… when all of this madness could and should have been avoided.
If High Gas Prices Are So Painful, Shouldn’t We Move Away From Fossil Fuels?
by Sonali Kolhatkar
Not only is it possible to switch to renewables, but it’s also cheaper and would make economies less vulnerable. Yet, bizarrely, politicians and the fossil fuel industry, who are using the war on Ukraine to justify high gas prices, are now calling for more oil to be produced.

way for Pong Dam constructed on Beas river in Himachal Pradesh.
Sri Lanka’s exercise in futility at human rights council to whitewash its decades of human rights violations
by Thambu Kanagasabai
Foreign Minister G.L. Pieris’s speech at the 49th Session of UN Human Rights Council in Geneva is impeccably laced with web of lies and littered with hollow and empty promises and empty undertakings having been cleverly woven to cover up the truths and mislead the United Nations, UNHRC and International Community.

What Kind of Swachh Bharat and Modernisation Are We Creating?
by Vidyadhar Date
What kind of Swachh Bharat and modern urbanisation we are creating ? Let us start with Bandra suburban station in Mumbai, one of the oldest and prized heritage stone buildings, with its red tile roof. A perfectly functioning toilet for men and women here was demolished recently and now there is no toilet, urinal of any kind on any of the seven platforms on this important station. This is a gateway to the Bandra Kurla financial and business centre.
Political thoughts of BR Ambedkar and its historical destiny
by Dr V Lakshminarayana
Ambedkar is a man of our times. From RSS to communists all are busy including Ambedkar in their programs. It is a fact that Ambedkar is
more popular among Indian people now, than during his life times. Starting from Indian ruling class at the top to the working masses below, attention has been drawn towards Ambedkar. This is an anachronism. Why so?
Modern Ouroboros
by Dr Trishna Sarkar
Marx not only failed to anticipate that capitalism will find a panacea of recessions in the form of public expenditure, but he also failed to foresee that eventually capitalism will survive by destroying this system. Capitalism have entered into the stage of Ouroboros the mythical tail-eating serpent. Only time will tell how long it will survive by eating its own body?
Love & Shukla – Through a Gender Lens
by Lalitha Dhara
What I found absolutely amazing about this film is that it foregrounds mutual sharing and conversation as intimacy. This is nothing short of revolutionary, particularly in the
context of a traditional family set up and arranged marriage, where one-way ‘man ki baat’ is the norm and intimacy is ‘stripped’ down to bare essentials, pun intended.
