"This system’s mind-set
perpetuates hatred against women and disregards the fundamental right of women
for freedom"
Protests have broken out across India following the gang
rape of a young women on a bus in Delhi which are now likely to continue
following the victim’s tragic death. These protests, and the initial brutal
attacks on protesters in Delhi, have brought to the fore the questions not just
of women’s safety and rights but also of police and political corruption and
oppression rooted in both India’s feudal legacy and modern capitalist
development. Following this
link you will find a statement which New Socialist Alternative, CWI
supporters in India, has produced. | ||
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
