12/15 "Fighting the Undeclared Emergency in India"
Dorotea Manuela <dorotea.manuela@gmail.com> writes
Globally we are witnessing the rise of tight wing and fascist movements
and governments in response to the failed neoliberal capitalist polices
of the western powers. Working and oppressed Peoples are increasingly
rising to defend themselves and to defeat fascism.
*/Please join encuentro5 community and friends to hear about the
liberation struggles in India. Workers are fighting back and resisting
exploitation, oppression. Our comrades Padma, Pratyush and Somnath will
share their compelling experiences while recently in India. /*

Workers, peasants, Dalits, Muslims, indigenous people and activists are
underattack because of the Indian government’s undeclared emergency.
Dalit activists, intellectuals and human rights lawyers recently have
been arrested under a draconian “anti-terrorist” act. Adivasis
(indigenous people) and peasants, who have been fighting for a fair
price for their crops, have been assaulted and killed. Several people of
Muslim faith and Dalits have also been lynched with political
complicity. As unemployment continues to increase, workers are leading a
precarious existence. Despite the odds, Dalits, Muslims, peasants,
women, workers, and Adivasi continue to resist the increasing fascist
policies of the Indian government. The speakers will focus on this
resistance of the people of India.
*Padma *will talk about the sensational arrests of prominent human
rights activists, lawyers and intellectuals this year using fabricated
charges under the draconian ‘anti terrorist’ laws in India that have
been largely used to suppress dissent.
*Somnath* will discuss some of the everyday crises that the rural poor
face as more and more natural resources are being appropriated by
corporations and the political elite and how communities are coping with it.
