In Praise of Partition
by David Stockman
To wit, Ukraine could have been partitioned with autonomy for the Russian-speaking Donbas provinces – or even accession to the Russian state from which these communities had essentially originated. So the appalling truth of the matter is this: Adding insult to injury after its blatantly foolish and reckless coup in February 2014, Washington now insists that the grandsons and granddaughters of Stalin’s industrial army in the Donbas are to be ruled by the grandsons and granddaughters of Hitler’s collaborators in Kiev, whether they like it or not.
Putin and Modi – Comrades-in-arms

Unclear Federal Law Allows Logging, Farming and Mining to Threaten America’s Biodiverse Ecosystems
by Sam Davis
The recent decision by the Supreme Court to look into “limiting the scope” of “waters of the U.S.” (WOTUS), which is an important part of the Clean Water Act of 1972, is likely to further threaten America’s biodiverse ecosystems.

Hate and Communal Violence: Changing Anatomy
by Dr Ram Puniyani
What has been seen in the recent times is that the hate spreaders are well backed up and protected by the state,
giving encouragement to such elements to carry on with their negative actions in the society. It is time civil society and political organizations give priority to curtail the Hate speech, provocative slogans and processions with potential of provoking violence.
New pedagogy practices in Indian school Education: the vent between vision and acquisition
by Malini Mukherjee
Many articles and papers have been written in the past on these theories, and much of these have been prescribed by The National Curriculum Framework (2005), but I felt the need to discuss why the implementation has failed over time, as it might throw some light on what could be done in future. This paper is more from the perspective of a practitioner, and I attempt to summarise my inferences from years of observing several classrooms across India.
