Subject: My dear Binu namaskar, today I wrote this article on first Asian Caravan land to land organized by the India - Palestine Solidarity Forum fifteen years ago, for the liberation of Palestine. If you like please publish it in Current. Regards, Dr. Suresh Khairnar
To: Countercurrents <edi...@countercurrents.org>

Storytelling of Aman o Caravan Caravan from 15 years ago.
Watching the joint war between Israel and the United States over the past week, I was reminded of the first land-based Asian caravan organized by the India-Palestine Solidarity Forum fifteen years ago for the liberation of Palestine. It included Pakistanis, Indonesians, and representatives from Bahrain, Qatar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Lebanon, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Japan, England, the United States, and some European countries. In a way, it could be called an international caravan. Today marks fifteen years since that event. Some friends have urged me to write about my experiences in detail. A friend from Kolkata who was part of that caravan sent me some photographs. I shared these photographs with my friend, Fauzia Arshi of Chauthi Duniya, who asked me to please send an article on this topic to Chauthi Duniya. I have attempted to write this article because of their request.
On behalf of the India-Palestine Solidarity Forum, for the first time, I left from Rajghat in Delhi on December 5th, 2010, and on December 6th, through Pakistan, from an Asian country, to the Middle East, covering the entire West Bank and Israel, which before 1948 was a single country called Palestine. This was because the British divided India before leaving. The cost of that partition is that the entire Indian subcontinent has become a zone of permanent unrest. And instead of addressing the everyday problems of Pakistan, which was created in 1947, both countries continue to prioritize defense spending. After entering Pakistan, I said in the "Lahore Meet the Press" program that I was just seeing the historic city of Lahore for the first time and that I was deeply saddened by the state of Lahore, even after more than 63 years of Pakistan's formation. Because I thought that in the 63 years since Pakistan's creation, Pakistan's situation would have improved significantly compared to India's, and I would have been very happy. But the majority of Pakistani citizens I met at the border, traveling to India, were suffering from various ailments, seeking treatment in Indian cities. Is there still not a single hospital in Pakistan to treat these ailments after so much time has passed? Looking at the condition of the roads from Wagah Border to Lahore and the smoke from the vehicles driving on them, I haven't seen any difference between Delhi and Lahore. So, I would like to ask all of you: what have you gained by creating Pakistan?
Similarly, the British had ruled Palestine since 1880. And before leaving there, they created two countries, Palestine and Israel, in 1948. Under the banner of their liberation, a caravan from Delhi, passing through Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Turkestan, and the Egyptian Sinai Desert, crossed the Rafah border and entered the Gaza Strip on January 1, 2011, but after midnight. After a week's stay in the Gaza Strip, they returned to India from the Rafah border to Cairo Airport, perhaps on January 7 or 8, 2011. This means that this journey took place during 2010-11.
This journey, which began on December 5, 2010, from Rajghat in Delhi, included copies of Gandhiji's autobiography, "Experiments with Truth," translated into English, Urdu, Persian, and Arabic, along with framed photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, with the help of Tulsi Somaiya, the owner of our Mumbai Gandhi Bookstall. The Urdu autobiography was distributed first upon entering Pakistan through the Wagah-Attari border. After crossing the Baluchistan-Zayedan ​​border in Iran, the Persian autobiography was distributed, and after distributing English copies in Turkistan, and Arabic copies in Palestine and Egypt, we observed that at all locations, after receiving the autobiography, all recipients first kissed it and accepted it, placing it on their foreheads, just like the Quran Sharif. And the most important thing is that he was also invited to the Parliament of Iran, and even after being presented with a framed photograph of Mahatma Gandhi, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament placed it on his forehead, kissed it and then placed it on the wall of the Parliament.
Crossing the Wagah border, I was greeted with warmth and affection in Pakistan. The garlands of roses around my neck obscured my face from the Pakistani channel's cameramen. So, they delicately removed some of the garlands before interviewing me. My journey to Iran began by traveling through Pakistan's Punjab, Sindh, and Baluchistan, and entering Iran through the Pakistani border city of Zahedan. We then traveled through Najd, Bam, Isfahan, Kerman, and Khom, and then Tehran, and especially, we held programs at universities in all these places. I was particularly aware of the Western media reports about the prohibition of Iranian women from leaving their homes after the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution under Ayatollah Khamenei, and the imprisonment or flogging of women with leather whips by the religious police. So I was observing the behavior of men and women in Iran's public sphere even more closely. I noticed, especially in universities, that the number of women was significantly higher. I asked the Vice Chancellor, probably at Khoum University, "What's the ratio of boys to girls?" He replied, "Sixty to forty percent." I replied, "It's sixty, right?" He replied, "No, sixty percent are girls, and forty percent are boys." This trend was evident in all Iranian universities. Yes, the practice of girls covering their hair with a silk scarf, known as the hijab, was evident. However, aside from that, most girls were seen wearing tops below the neck and jeans around the waist.
And this situation is more or less prevalent throughout Iran. I've even seen some women driving heavy vehicles on the roads. There's even a movement by Iranian women against the hijab (the headgear used to cover the hair), which I support. Throughout our stay in Iran, I found two young girls sitting next to me on the Valho bus most of the time, and I've talked with them about a wide range of topics. In my opinion, I've seen them speak authoritatively about every topic in the world. The Western media has presented a very bleak picture of the entire Muslim world.
Yes, there are some restrictions. These exist, to a greater or lesser extent, in India and other countries. Restrictions on women have persisted throughout the world for centuries. In Western countries, the term "Victorian Era" itself implies the constraints women had to endure. One can only understand the extent of the world's finest books on the status of women, "The Second Sex," by French author Simone de Beauvoir. "Women are treated unequally throughout the world. Until recently, women did not have the right to vote in European countries and the United States. And there was a disparity in the wages of working women and men."
Iranian President Ahmad Nijad himself attended our reception at the university in Tehran, Iran's capital. I had the opportunity to attend the meeting with him. And when I said, "As long as the Palestine issue is raised from a Muslim or Islamic perspective, it won't be resolved even if it takes a thousand years. Because this isn't a religious issue. It's a humanitarian issue, just like Vietnam. And just like Vietnam, this issue can only be resolved in our lifetimes if all of us humanitarians and democracy-loving people around the world work together." Ahmed Nijad rose from his seat, approached the podium, kissed me on both cheeks and on the forehead, and then, taking the microphone, said, "I'm very happy that Dr. Suresh Khairnar thinks about Palestine like our late Ayatollah Khomeini." I watched and listened with amazement, wondering if I was thinking about the Palestine issue in the same way as Ayatollah Khomeini? Is there any difference between the views of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and mine?" Ahmad Nijad clarified, "Even the late Ayatollah Khomeini said that the Palestinian issue is not an Islamic one; it's about human values, freedom, and democracy." I listened in amazement. When Ahmad Nijad came down from the podium and sat next to me, I said, "Sorry, before I came to Iran, I was quite prejudiced by Western media about the late Ayatollah Khomeini and Iran's Islamic Revolution. That Ayatollah Khomeini was a religious leader, and that's how he viewed the entire world." He said, "Take the entire Ayatollah Khomeini archive with you. And I invite you to speak on him at all the academic institutions in Iran." He left Iran, speaking at almost every university in Iran, all the way to Diyarbakır.
And during our ten-day trip to Iran, we visited more than ten martyr memorials. These memorials were for those killed in the ten-year war with Iraq during the 1980s and 1990s. Almost every memorial contained the burial of over 100,000 people—over 1,500,000 to 2,000,000. Iran, with a population of 80 million, has lost its youth. Visiting the last Martyrs' Memorial in Diyarbakir, I said in my prayer address, "I pray that on my next visit to Iran, I won't see any more martyr memorials. Because this way, a generation of Iranians has been wiped out." The same situation may have been experienced in Iraq as well. And neighboring Iraq, with a population of 30 million, may have a similar number of martyrs. The two Muslim countries were at war with each other for over 10 years, so how can we find a solution to the Palestine issue?
And for a hundred years, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been saying, "Islam is in danger. Saying that brings all the Muslims of the world together." And in this century, a war just twenty-five years ago lasted for ten years. It took place before our very eyes between Iran and Iraq. And more than forty to five million people were killed on both sides combined. The RSS members, in keeping with their name, Rumor Spreading Society (RSS), distort facts from history to the present, and continue to do just that, 24 hours a day.
And in 2003, in the name of so-called chemical weapons, then-US President George Bush and his so-called allies, 1.5 million Iraqi civilians were killed, and among them, more than 500,000 children under the age of 15 were killed. This is three times the number of deaths caused by the atomic bomb attacks on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of World War II in 1945. This is due to the contamination of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers with toxic chemicals, and Saddam Hussein himself came under the pretext of destroying hidden chemical weapons. In this sin, so-called civilized America and its allies, including England, France, Germany, and other European countries, as well as Canadian forces, were involved. And George Bush was praising this war as a war for peace. Today, Iraq, with a population of 30 million, has been reduced to ruins. I am writing this after witnessing it with my own eyes for a week. Baghdad, once home to the Babylonian and Mesopotamian civilizations, was also a world center of learning. I had the opportunity to visit Iraq in 2015 to attend a meeting on the Palestinian issue, and I will write a separate report on that.
And after ten days we entered Syria. In Syria too, due to our status as government guests, the mayors or governors of all the cities were present everywhere to welcome us. We stayed in Homs, Aleppo, the capital Damascus and the last port city Latakia from 20th December to the end of December. Staying there meant "we had to go to Gaza Strip by ship. And Israel was not giving permission. After ten days passed in that confusion, finally the Syrian government took us to Damascus and boarded us in a special plane and landed us at Al Arish Airport in Egypt's Sinai province before dusk on 1st January 2011 and the plane went back. And it started to feel that "this is not an airport for everyday traffic and transportation. "It's an emergency airport used during war or other events. After landing, we saw that there were no arrangements. Food and other amenities were lacking. Gaza is only forty kilometers from Al-Arish, but there were no vehicles. As darkness fell, we started protesting. Then, at nine or ten o'clock at night, the Egyptian government packed us into three or four rickety minibuses and dropped us off at the Rafah border. By the time we went through the Rafah immigration process, it was already midnight. Looking across the border, we saw a crowd of Gazans standing there for so long, welcoming us with such love. Seeing them, the anger from the insults and abuses from the Egyptians subsided. Special arrangements had been made for our stay in Gaza City, in a hotel on the Mediterranean coast. And despite the delay, we were able to eat.
But we couldn't understand why the Egyptian government's treatment of the current Egyptian administration, a five-thousand-year-old civilization, was so shocking and disturbing to us both on the way back and on the way back. So, on my return journey, my patience ran out at Cairo Airport, and I retaliated by throwing luggage trolleys around, shouting slogans of "Death to the then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak." However, this behavior by the Egyptian government was part of an extra precaution to prevent us from sensing the internal public anger against the government. That was on January 25, 2011, three weeks after our experiences at Cairo Airport, a week before that at Sinai's Al-Arish Airport, and on January 8th at the capital Cairo's airport.
Despite the protests of millions of people at Tahrir Square and the area surrounded by army tanks, the people of Egypt, despite the cold weather, set up tents with their children and children and carried out the most innovative Satyagraha in world history, which is known as the Arab Spring. And the most surprising thing was that the inspiration for that Satyagraha was the creation of Arabic leaflets on Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha and forwarding them to each other on social sites like WhatsApp and Facebook.
And this Gandhi of Satyagraha was not spread by any Gandhian, people themselves have spread it by choosing it from mediums like Google and Wikipedia and spreading it in their own languages ​​through pamphlets and social networking sites. During 2011-13, this was six-seven years before the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. After the first experiment of Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha on the soil of South Africa in 1906, during the freedom movement of India and in the sixties by Martin Luther King Jr. against apartheid in America and also in South Africa during the apartheid of the then South African government and for independence (1980-90), Nelson Mandela himself has said that "our ideal is Mahatma Gandhi."
Similarly, during our stopover in Damascus, Khaled Mishad, the second-in-command after Yasser Arafat, came to meet with us. Speaking in Arabic for over two hours, he mentioned Gandhiji at least ten times. The interpreter had translated into English, omitting Gandhian points. Khaled Mishad first took the interpreter to task and, in his broken English, declared, "Mahatma Gandhi is the ideal for the liberation of our Palestine. And our struggle for Palestine is also being led by him. Currently, two thousand Palestinian prisoners are on a prolonged hunger strike in Israeli jails, and the Israeli government has had to yield to their demands." He cited this as a recent example.
And during our week in Gaza (January 1-7, 2011), we observed a strong emphasis on peace and civil disobedience in our conversations with various organizations, including the Gaza Parliament, universities, museums, schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and the general public. However, not a single building in the Gaza Strip remains intact. Each building was left with its remains from Israeli mortar and bombardment. Even school and hospital buildings were partially destroyed. Meanwhile, on the Gaza University campus, more than half of the buildings were in ruins due to the bombing. The condition of residential buildings was so dire that bedrooms were sagging, living rooms were gone, and kitchens were completely destroyed. In the three-year war, Israel has reduced almost all of Gaza to ruins and killed over 100,000 people, the majority of whom were children, women, and the elderly.
And the most surprising thing for us was that before leaving Gaza, we had invited all our comrades for lunch on January 7th. After eating, we immediately boarded buses and reached the Rafah border. Then we got a call saying, "The building where we had lunch has just been razed to the ground in a mortar attack by Israel." There is only a 25-30 foot high concrete wall between Gaza and Israel. And on that side is Israel. On this side is the Gaza Strip. It has been blown up by mortar fire. "This is the ever-changing situation in the Gaza Strip. And yet, the people of Gaza were laughing and playing amongst themselves. They have become accustomed to living above fear and dread. Perhaps they have become immune to this constant sight. Now they have become quite spiritual in the face of life and death. Otherwise, no one would be able to sleep there. What did our week-long association with the people of Gaza give us? I don't know, but we definitely brought back a little spirit of fearlessness from them. Such fearless people are likely to be rare on Earth. That is why I have a special place of respect for Gaza and all Palestinians.
Perhaps the winds of the Arab Spring spread from Tahrir Square in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to neighboring countries including Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, and Oman, and even directly to Saudi Arabia. It is sometimes called the Jasmine Revolution, while elsewhere it is known simply as the Arab Spring. However, the facts that are later emerging about these so-called revolutionary events appear to be the result of a conspiracy between the United States and Western countries. The CIA was involved in the assassination of Colonel Gaddafi. The same is true for Saddam Hussein. And now the role of America and its so-called allies in the fight against Assad of Syria. In my statement, I have mentioned the cities of Homs, Aleppo, Latakia and Damascus, but that was in 2010. Today, in the war going on in the name of so-called ISIS, these heritage sites of the once Babylonian and Mesopotamian culture have been reduced to ruins.
And the same is true for Iran, with so-called economic sanctions causing ever-rising inflation and the growing distance between Iran and the countries involved, which have been going through a period of economic transition for many days, and these two countries are also suffering the consequences of their allying with Palestine. Lebanon and Syria have been devastated, and while continuously trying to grab land from Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, within Jerusalem, they have now occupied Gaza as well, where Donald Trump wants to build his family's beach resort.
To destroy the Jenin camp in Palestine, Israel used a Kurdish bulldozer driver known as the Bear to raze the entire Jenin camp to the ground for 72 hours. The Kurdish driver said, "What could I do? There was nothing left for me to destroy. Otherwise, I was ready to run more bulldozers." This is the action of today's Israel to destroy Palestinian settlements and build Jewish colonies. Israel is a so-called civilized country, and in that too, America, which talks about clash of civilizations, is supporting Israel.
And the most surprising thing is that in our own country, we have travelled a long way against Indira Gandhiji, from the JP movement in 1974 to going to jail. But on the Palestine issue, Indira Gandhi was completely with Palestine. I have no hesitation in accepting this historical fact. After her death and mainly during the time of Bharatiya Janata Party, the role of the Indian government started changing. And today's current government is the closest to Israel in the course of history. And India's agriculture, health care and education, security and technology Pegasus are enough examples of this. On 26 February, the 60th death anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi has crossed all limits. After accepting the medal from the Israeli Parliament, he gave a speech quoting the jargon of motherland and fatherland from Savarkar's book titled 'Hindutva'. What is Israel doing with Iran for the sixth day today, taking America along with it? And Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is sitting in silence. As an Indian citizen, I feel very sad that as early as 1930, Mahatma Gandhi, while condemning Hitler's atrocities against the Jews, had said that "Just as France belongs to the French and England to the British, Palestine belongs to the Arabs and settling Jews there is wrong. There is no justification for settling Jews in Palestine when there is space for them in dozens of countries, from European countries to others."

THE WHITE MEN'S BURDEN
America's cycle of enmity with Iran has continued for over half a century, solely to maintain control over oil resources. The current religious government of Iran does not accept this. Therefore, Donald Trump, just like in Venezuela, wants to seize control through military strength. He refers to this as "regime change" and is carrying it out under the name OPERATION EPIC FURY. In response, Iran has given it a name like OPERATION TRUE PROMISE IV. On February 28, 2026, at approximately 7:00 AM Iranian time (1:15 AM ET), America and Israel together started a war against Iran by launching large-scale airstrikes.

The first oil reserve in Iran was found on May 26, 1908, in Masjed-e-Soleyman in the Khuzestan province of the Persian Gulf. This discovery of the first major oil field in the Middle East was made by British engineer George Reynolds. Because of this, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was established in 1909. The then-ruler of Persia, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah of the Qajar dynasty, had sold the oil exploration rights to a wealthy Englishman, William Knox D'Arcy. This made the British government alert because, within five years, oil was going to be very useful as the most important fuel for World War I. This discovery started a struggle for control over Iran's oil reserves in a battle of geopolitical implications, which shows no signs of stopping even today. Organized resistance against this began in 1951 when Mohammad Mossadegh, the most popular leader with socialist leanings, was the Prime Minister. During that time, he nationalized the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (BP). This step was taken to end British and Western control so that Iran could have full control over the oil industry. Although the British had discovered oil using their advanced industrial technology, they were extracting 90% of the oil, throwing only a 10% share to Iran. Therefore, a conspiracy to overthrow Mohammad Mossadegh was carried out in 1953 through the collusion of America’s CIA and Britain’s MI6, naming it Operation Ajax. From here began the cycle of coups in Iran by America, Britain, and Western countries to seize oil resources. After removing the democratically elected government of Mossadegh 73 years ago at the peak of its popularity, they placed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on the throne to act on their instructions and continued to exploit mineral oil until 1979. This is why the Islamic Revolution took place in Iran under the leadership of AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI. In that revolution, the primary goal was the birth of intense hatred against America and its Western followers. For this reason, the American Embassy in Tehran was closed on November 4, 1979. This event happened when Iranian students took over the embassy. After holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days, America ended diplomatic relations with Iran in 1980. Today, 46 years have passed since that event, but America still does not have diplomatic relations with Iran. The American Embassy in Tehran is preserved as a museum under the name "Spy Den." I personally had the opportunity to visit it in mid-December 2010 during the first Asian Caravan sent to free Gaza from the ongoing Israeli siege.

Great Britain, France, Germany, the Dutch, the Portuguese, America, and from the 20th century, the Soviet Union—and now the new "big brother" countries, America and China—are playing the role of imperialist bullies. Since the so-called revolutions occurred in all their neighboring countries, they have continuously kept up the cycle of taking control of various nations. The freshest examples are Venezuela, the Chinese occupation of Tibet 78 years ago, the American example in Vietnam in the seventies, and examples in Latin American countries. Now it is Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. In Iran, too, America is supporting Israel in this war only for a government that will work as its agent for American interests. An imperialist takeover by America regarding the entire Islamic world is clearly visible. Therefore, by establishing military bases in many countries around the world and keeping those countries under its awe, it has attacked Iran under the guise of its nuclear program—just as it occupied Iraq 23 years ago using the false excuse of chemical weapons. And look at their hypocrisy: while committing all these crimes, they are fighting the war in the name of human rights, democracy, and justice. They even claim to liberate the people there, just as in Venezuela and now for the last two weeks in Iran, where Donald Trump has been continuously claiming regime change. The whole world appears to be a silent spectator. On the contrary, just like the live broadcast of a cricket or football match, the trend of broadcasting war has been going on since the 2003 Iraq war. I see the disappearance of human sensitivities in this. Why is no one able to gather the courage to criticize Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump? In this context, I am reminded of Mahatma Gandhi’s open letter to Hitler during the Second World War. He wrote the first letter on July 23, 1939, just a few weeks before the war started, requesting Hitler in the name of humanity to avoid the war. He wrote the second letter on December 24, 1940, in which he warned Hitler that "someone else, using your own violent methods but being more violent than you, can work to defeat you in the war." This exact point applies to Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump today. Just like Hitler, Donald Trump and Netanyahu have become very proud that they can rule the whole world.

Today, it has been one year and two months since Donald Trump took charge as President for the second time. In this period, from kidnapping the President of Venezuela and his wife from their home in the dark of night to insisting on the handover of Greenland, not following the Paris Declaration, and washing his hands of the World Health Organization—after the International Criminal Court declared Netanyahu a war criminal, Netanyahu goes to meet Trump. Instead of saying anything to him, Trump announces action against the people of the International Criminal Court. The most surprising thing is the Gaza Strip, which Netanyahu has ruined and where he has put millions to death; Trump is telling the remaining people of that same Gaza Strip, "All of you empty the Gaza Strip and go to Egypt and Jordan, and I will build the world's best sea resort there." He is taking actions in America from banning protests regarding Palestine to stopping funding for universities that hold protests. After that, sidelining the UNO and following the destruction of Gaza, he has intimidated other countries into becoming members of a so-called international "Board of Peace," declaring himself its lifelong chairman. The membership fee is set at one billion dollars. In place of so-called peace, he suddenly started a war on Iran on the last day of February, February 28, during Ramadan at 7:00 AM. What is Trump made of? Such an insensitive man is now sitting in the position of the President of America. These are visible signs of becoming a new dictator of the twenty-first century in world history. I cannot digest the endurance of the American people. Netanyahu put more than one hundred thousand people to death in Gaza. This has had no effect on Trump. On the contrary, he is unhesitatingly telling the remaining people to vacate the Gaza Strip and announcing the creation of a "Riviera" in that place. This is the fruit of two hundred years of progress of the poison tree of the world's oldest democracy, whose name is Donald Trump. Now, for more than the last twelve days, he and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu have together attacked Iran. On the very first day of the attack, after killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his family members, more than a thousand people in Iran have died so far. This includes the deaths of more than 165 female students of an Iranian school. Donald Trump says repeatedly, "I am not going to stop the war without achieving regime change in Iran." The people of America have sent Donald Trump as the President of only America for the second time, but Trump is under the misunderstanding that he has become the President of the whole world. Because after the inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025, he started a tariff war. When the Supreme Court of America recently declared it illegal, this man, while abusing the court, suddenly launched an attack on Iran and is repeatedly chanting "regime change, regime change." If another country said, "We want regime change in America," how would that feel?

Until 12 years ago, India was a nation leading the neutral nations of the Third World. While being such a nation, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on one hand claims to be the "Vishwaguru" (World Teacher), yet currently, while being the Chairman of BRICS, how is he getting caught in the trap of America and Israel? There are signs of India moving away from its role as a neutral nation, held continuously for 75 years, toward the Israeli and American camps. Seeing the inhuman conspiracy by Mossad and its master Israel for the last 78 years to end Palestinian existence and seeing it against the Muslim community, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, India's premier organization, was first attracted toward them. Therefore, Narendra Modi, due to the values of his parent organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, worked to repeat the Hindutva definition of "Motherland and Fatherland" in the Israeli Parliament on February 26, 2026. Despite Benjamin Netanyahu being declared a war criminal by the International Criminal Court, what could be Narendra Modi's compulsion that he suddenly went to the Israeli Parliament on February 26—the 60th death anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar—and spoke about racial theory (Motherland and Fatherland) using unscientific points from Savarkar's book titled "Hindutva"? And in that same Israel, the Jewish author Yuval Noah Harari's books have been published in Hebrew and English, in which he himself, despite being born in the Jewish religion, has written one book titled 'Sapiens' and second 'Homo sapiens' after another based on scientific Anthropological and historical facts of the creation of the human race. Most surprisingly, within 48 hours of Narendra Modi's return from Israel, Israel and America together started attacks on Iran on February 28. Would Benjamin Netanyahu not have taken our Prime Minister into confidence and told him this? Because in the war started after the return from Israel, 165 innocent girls die, but no reaction was given by our Prime Minister. On the contrary, in response, he expressed grief over the death of 7-8 people in the UAE in an Iranian attack. Why is Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi observing a "vow of silence" regarding the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei along with his family members? Is it enough to just send the Foreign Secretary to the Iranian Embassy five days later to express a few lines of condolence ? Our relations with Iran are more than three thousand years old. From the Kashmir problem to the oil crisis, Iran, which provided oil in Indian currency, handed over the construction of the Chabahar Port to India. But even after being forced to stay out due to the pressure of American sanctions, is our country's business not being run with the help and advice of Israeli agencies—mainly the spying through Pegasus by Israel's most dangerous agency, Mossad? Although the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh family was formed on the inspiration of Hitler and Mussolini and the lines of their SS and Balilla organizations, since 1948, despite being surrounded by Islamic countries and having a Jewish population of less than ten million, Israel is proving heavy for everyone to deal with, especially with American help. Is help being given to that same Israel because of hatred against Muslims? But Narendra Modi is perhaps forgetting the most important thing: India has the second-largest population of Muslims in the world. No matter how much "Gujarat" you do, how many of the 30-40 crore population of Indian Muslims can you kick out after NRC and SIR? And even if you do, which country is sitting ready to take them?

When the Italian, German, and Russian dictators were carrying out all these acts, and the media of that time also glorified them to mislead the people, those papers are still available today. And the number of documents exposing their deeds is greater than those. Today, are they known specifically as heroes or villains? This same logic applies to everyone from Donald Trump to Narendra Modi. In what form they will be known in the coming time is still in their hands.

Lastly, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar said: "One who does not learn from the mistakes made in history is never forgiven in the present, and most importantly, in the future."

What is Fatherland and Motherland?

Greetings friends, I was inspired to write this article because our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, during his visit to Israel on February 26th, repeated a racial phrase written in Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s book 'Hindutva' in response to the honor bestowed upon him. For the last hundred years, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been spreading misinformation regarding this theory. Since Narendra Modi was an RSS pracharak for the better part of his life, he repeated the same in Israel—a nation that is trying to settle after being a victim of Hitler’s theory of racial superiority. However, following that same theory, they are now torturing and wiping out the Arab people of Palestine. Have the Jews learned nothing from the experiment of fascism a hundred years ago? And our Prime Minister calls himself a ‘Vishwaguru’ (World Teacher). Yet, Benjamin Netanyahu is committing such atrocities against the people of Gaza that the International Criminal Court has declared him a war criminal. Meanwhile, the head of the nation of Lord Buddha, Mahavira, and Mahatma Gandhi has gone there and repeated the talk of Motherland-Fatherland. This is why I felt inspired to write this piece.

When we hear the migratory Cuckoo bird’s calls every spring, or when Salmon and Hilsa (Ilish) fish migrate from the sea to freshwater once a year, we Homo sapiens forget that there is no other migratory creature on Earth more significant than us. People of all colors—white, black, yellow—and various facial features living in any part of the world today are all members of the same family.

In the language of anthropology, we are called Homo sapiens. Initially, humans thought of themselves as orphans, but in reality, we are current members of the species known as the tailless apes or Great Apes. These currently include chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. The chimpanzee is one of our closest family members. Approximately six million years ago, a female great ape had two daughters; the descendants of one became chimpanzees, while the other became our grandmother, named Lucy. Her remains were found a hundred thousand years ago in the African country of Kenya. This means all people in the world belong to the same lineage of our great-great-grandmother and have spread across the globe like migrant laborers from Kenya. Due to the climate and diet of different regions, differences appeared in our body color, size, and features. Otherwise, according to the facts revealed after DNA testing, everyone living across the world today is a Homo sapiens. According to the research of the scholar Vishnu Prasad Rabha of Assam, the people called the first 'Columbuses' of Assam are the tribals of the Karbi caste. Before them, people of the Khasi caste settled, and even before them, people came from the hills of Southeast Asia, Kampuchea, and Laos, known as Mon-Khmer. Similarly, people of the Mising lineage settled in Assam via Arunachal.

The Bodo people, who are discussed the most today, also settled in Assam from Tibet via Nepal, Bhutan, and North Bengal. The most influential were the Ahoms in the 13th-15th centuries, who ruled this region for six hundred years; they came from Mongolia at the end of the 12th century due to their martial skills and ruled for nearly six hundred years.

Apart from this, a large number of people from Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, and neighboring Bengal have settled in a region as exceptionally rich in natural resources as Assam to earn their livelihood. For example, regarding work related to tea gardens alone, in Assam's population of thirty million, the total number of people from Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh is more than ten million.

In the 1980s, a student organization in Assam called AASU started a movement against people other than the original inhabitants settling in Assam. Because of Assam's dense forests, centuries-old tea plantation farming, plywood factories processing wood, and later the discovery of natural oil leading to mining of oil and other minerals, laborers were brought from states outside Assam for hundreds of years. Consequently, at least more than half of Assam's population became non-Assamese.

Due to the resulting feeling of insecurity among the original inhabitants, the Assam Students' Union (AASU) became the most influential youth organization in 1980. It even held sway over Guwahati University. In the eighties, we visited Assam for the first time specifically to see and understand the movement launched by AASU, staying in the hostel of Guwahati University with the protesters to talk to all kinds of students.

In a conversation with a senior Assamese professor, he said, "We Assamese people are very leisure-loving. All types of hard labor are done by non-Assamese people. The day they all leave, we will go hungry."

Betel nut is produced in large quantities in the nature of Assam, but the betel nut traders are mostly Marwari people. Similarly, the owners of the tea gardens that enhance the natural beauty of Assam over lakhs of hectares are also mostly from the Marwari community. Hardly any of them live in Assam; most live in Kolkata. That is why the office of the Tea Board is also in Kolkata. The same is the case with the plywood industry; most of its owners are Marwaris. In all these industries, the labor class is also mostly from outside Assam. Since Bengal is a neighboring state of Assam, the number of Bengali people in the field of education is high. From lawyers, doctors, professors, and teachers to clerks and officers in various government departments, Bengalis are more numerous. For this reason, the Assamese language is being written in the Bengali script, and Bengali words are being used extensively in the Assamese language.

After India's independence, regional sentiments began to surge in many provinces. After the division of the Madras province, Andhra Pradesh was created. Similarly, because Marathi identity took the form of a movement in the sixties, the three states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka were formed. Later came Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh. At the beginning of the 21st century, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Uttarakhand were created, and from the division of Assam, states like Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, and Arunachal were formed.

Since independence, nearly double the number of states have been created in our country. However, discontent continues in all regions of India regarding unemployment, poverty, and linguistic and cultural identity. Currently, the problem in Manipur between the Kuki tribals and Meitei non-tribals is becoming more and more violent day by day. So far, more than three thousand people have died.

The problem of migrant laborers was exposed to the whole world during the Corona period. The government is deliberately trying to hide the figures, but according to other sources, this figure is at least around one hundred million. Despite 79 years of independence, because every state is unable to provide sufficient employment to its people, people are forced to go thousands of kilometers away from their birthplace—from Bihar to Kerala, from Bengal to Maharashtra and southern provinces. Similarly, people from southern provinces are forced to move from one place to another for their livelihood.

The RSS and its political unit, the BJP, are taking advantage of this situation. Instead of addressing the real questions of providing employment and rights over resources, they are baking their political bread by entangling people in the unscientific mess of Motherland and Fatherland under the guise of caste and religion. But they cannot travel much further with this.

Just as Trump in America started an anti-immigrant and tariff war immediately after returning to power; but as soon as China, Mexico, and Canada threatened retaliatory action, Trump had to take a U-turn just today. And now, the Supreme Court of America has declared it illegal.

In the nineties, it was America and the Western countries that started globalization with the slogan that the whole world is one. Moving away from that and talking only about "America First," the decisions to withdraw from the World Health Organization, the UNO, and several international institutions are likely to be suicidal for America itself.

Therefore, using only the unscientific rhetoric of Fatherland-Motherland to incite people, hiding political failures, and practicing the politics of polarization is wrong in every way. This is what BJP leaders, the Prime Minister, and Chief Ministers are doing at present. This is against our Constitution, and through such discussions, they are posing a threat to the unity and integrity of the country.

[Suresh Khairnar]

Friends, today marks four years since the passing of Mr. Sudhir Bedekar on March 25, 2022. He was one of the key figures of the Magowa group in Maharashtra. Revolutionary greetings to him.

Even though the situation in the seventies was not as bad as it is today, all the important educational institutions in India—including IITs, medical colleges, and engineering colleges across centers like Bengal, Delhi, Madras, Trivandrum, Hyderabad, Pune, Calcutta, Lucknow, Patna, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Baroda, and Guwahati—used to host systematic discussions on national and global issues. Among the key contributors was Sudhir Bedekar, who published a Marathi magazine titled Magowa (Follow-up) and formed a group of youth by the same name. I also had the opportunity to be part of this group.

At that time, various factions—Socialists, Communists, Ultra-Communists, Trotskyites, Radical Humanists, Sarvodayis, Gandhians, and more—were formally established. Beyond intense debates on world affairs, there was a deep culture of study. The student movement in France had recently (1968 ) taken place, and around the same time, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, who led the revolutions in Cuba and Chile, began to rule our hearts and minds. I had even put up photos of these two revolutionaries alongside Lohia and Gandhi on my hostel room walls. We lived in such a charged atmosphere that after watching a play or a movie, we would stay up all night discussing it and analyzing every detail for the sake of global change. Even today, fifty years later, remembering that nostalgia makes the heart feel young again. Sudhir Bedekar and Praful Bidwai were our guides.

Besides the most discussed topic of the American military's war on Vietnam, we also talked extensively about rising unemployment in India, inflation, corruption, and Indira Gandhi’s dictatorial attitude. During that period, a student movement started at the Sardar Patel Engineering College in Morbi, Gujarat, over a mere twenty five paise increase (1973 from one rupee to one rupee and twenty five paise) in the mess meal price. This protest spread first through the college and then across all of Gujarat, eventually forcing the then Chief Minister Chimanbhai Patel to resign (1974 ). This was followed by the Bihar movement in (March 1974) initially started by all student organizations except the Congress, which later continued under the leadership of JP until June 25, 1975. Fearing this, Mrs. Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency.

From the 60s to the 70s, the Naxalbari movement emerged in Bengal. It started at places like Presidency College, Jadavpur University, and Naxalbari in North Bengal following a firing incident during land acquisition (25 May 1967) where killed 11 farmers and laborers died. This movement moved out from Bengal's universities and spread to other parts of the country to varying degrees. The Naxalite movement brought a phase of soul-searching to educational institutions across India. Today, the BJP creates a scare around "Naxalites" while deploying committed RSS cadres to every post in educational institutions, from Vice Chancellors to student organizations.

All this was happening even before the twenty fifth anniversary of independence. I was watching it all with wonder as a young man between fifteen and twenty years old. My intellectual hunger was growing, and at such a time, friends like Sudhir Bedekar, Praful Bidwai, Jitendra Shah, Dinanath Manohar, Subhash Kane, Dr. Kumar Saptarshi, and Kishore Deshpande made a huge intellectual contribution to satisfy that hunger.

Just before I turned twenty, around 1968-69, I started a study circle for the Rashtra Seva Dal immediately after entering Amravati Medical College. In our study circle, we had ideological debates that rose above all kinds of communalism. People from the Marxist Magowa group like Praful Bidwai, Jitendra Shah, Sudhir Bedekar, Subhash Kane, and Dinanath Manohar used to attend. Our circle in Amravati also included friends from the Tarun Shanti Sena like Kishore Deshpande, Prof. Madhukar Keche, Prof.  Sharma (Dr. Vinyan's elder brother), Purushottam Nagpure, Prabhakar Siras, poet and journalist Suresh Bhat, Prof. Vasant Abaji Dahake, Prabha Ganorkar, Prof. Manu Natu, Prof. D.Y. Deshpande, Sushila Patil, Brijmohan Heda, Bapusaheb Karanjkar, Sheikh Wazir Patel, and Madan Bhat. Additionally, leaders from the opposition of that time, full of grit and intellectual depth, also joined us, including Brij Sinha, Latif Khatik of the Dalit Panthers, Namdeo Dhasal, Shantaram Divekar, Shivajirao Patwardhan, Durgatai Jog, Rashtra Seva Dal's Vidarbha organizer Vikas Deshpande, and occasionally Yadunath Thatte, Hamid Dalwai, Husain Dalwai, Prof. Thakurdas Bang, Dada Dharmadhikari, Prof. Madhu Dandavate, George Fernandes, Mrinal Gore, S.M. Joshi, Nanasaheb Gore, Prof. Sadanand Varde, Dr. Baba Adhav, Dr. Bapu Kaldate, Prof. N.D. Patil of the Shetkari Kamgar Dal, Nana Purohit, Prof. G.P. Pradhan, and Comrade Sudam Deshmukh.

However, regarding specific curricula, Praful Bidwai, Jitendra Shah, Sudhir Bedekar, and Kishore Deshpande were the most helpful. They would join us like friends and stay for a week or ten days while the study circle activities ran like a commune. Even though Sudhir Bedekar was a second generation Marxist, he seemed like a Pune edition of our Sarvodayi friend Kishore Deshpande. He would try to explain the most difficult subjects very beautifully and calmly.

My last meeting with Sudhir was in the nineties at Bharat Theatre hall in Pune during a national seminar on communalism. The event was packed with figures like Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Prof. Sudhir Chandra, and officials from foreign donor agencies. I was the lone activist there, trying to present the devastating reality of the Bhagalpur riots of October 24, 1989, which I had just witnessed. These riots had started during the BJP's Shila Pujan Rath Yatra. However, my words had no impact on the organizers or the big names present; they were too caught up in their concerns about funding.

In that crowd, Sudhir Bedekar and Sudhir Sonalkar suddenly appeared. After we hugged, they said, "Suresh, these are all professional social work (NGO) people. Funding is their main goal. They don't have the slightest interest in your concerns about Bhagalpur. We have come to take you to our old Magowa spot." I was already upset that my points were being ignored at the seminar, so I took a sigh of relief and left with them.

Sudhir Bedekar and Sudhir Sonalkar very sensitively acknowledged my point that "the center of politics for the next fifty years after the Bhagalpur riots will be communalism and communalism alone." They both took me from Bharat Theatre and organized discussions at various other places in Pune.

Sudhir Bedekar was an intellectually very strong person. Despite studying at IIT Bombay, he spent most of his time writing and speaking out of a passion for a socialist society. He joined the CPM in the final phase of his life. During my fifteen year stay in Calcutta, when he heard my account of the Left Front government in Bengal, he spoke with great disappointment. He said he had never visited Bengal but felt like coming after hearing my assessment. I told him to definitely come as I had a large quarter and could host him well, but he had stopped traveling outside Pune. Later, he told me over the phone that he had isolated himself from public life twenty years ago due to lung cancer. I wish Sudhir had been blessed with a healthier life to fully utilize his abilities; he would have made a very significant contribution to the leftist movement in Maharashtra.

He was a second generation Marxist. His father, Professor D.K. Bedekar, was also a very liberal Marxist intellectual figure in Maharashtra since the sixties. But Sudhir had a strange habit of alienating himself, like a mystic in spiritual terms. He would become completely detached. The literary output of an editor who managed an ideological magazine like Magowa is very small. He stopped writing and speaking halfway through his life, perhaps after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He did a great injustice to himself and to society. I still feel this pang today. Revolutionary greetings on the fourth anniversary of Sudhir Bedekar’s memory.

Dear Socialist!

Recent Gang rape incident at Nalanda (Bihar) has been shattered and shocked all nation and challenged all civilians including Men, Women and other communities.

As a woman,I am feeling ashamed that I even can't punish them all who are directly involved, indirectly securing them and being silent on this shameless and inhuman behaviour.

These people are supposed to be either encountered or detented and punished by administration and Law.

I , Shraddha Suman, demand proper training and license for carrying weapon for safety purpose from the government, hence I want all the socialist members especially our Women Socialist to Vote to include Safety  Training session as subject in Schools and Colleges for Women and Men and Third Gender too.

Your appeal and vote can protect a person from getting raped,molested or harmed anyway from bad elements.

Remember. When you are not voting or having issues with this appeal,please check the picture and video and think what if it would be happened with us or anyone related to us.

So let's come and have a serious meeting over it .

Yours

Today, on the occasion of the completion of 46 years of the BJP.
"Political parties have begun to consider their ideology greater than the country itself. If this continues, the freedom of the country will not remain without coming under threat."
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had said this in his last address to the Constituent Assembly. Today, on the occasion of the BJP’s 46th foundation day, Babasaheb’s words keep coming back to me again and again.
After India’s independence, the Muslim League, post-Partition, survived only in a few scattered places in India. It was with great difficulty that leaders like Banatwala from Kerala could reach Parliament.
The then chief of the RSS, Shri M.S. Golwalkar, felt that Hindus needed a political unit on the lines of the Muslim League. Because the Hindu Mahasabha had been tainted by Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, the RSS created its own “test-tube baby” political party using its own blood and flesh. On 21 October 1951, under the leadership of Shyama Prasad Mookerjee of West Bengal, the Jana Sangh was born.
This party, within 26 years, in 1977, under a well-planned conspiracy, hid inside the “Trojan horse” of the Janata Party. But within two years, on the issue of dual membership (being a member of both the Janata Party and the RSS at the same time), it broke away and was re-established as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on 7 April 1980. It was essentially a Hindu League on the lines of the Muslim League.
The RSS has always claimed that it is a purely educational and cultural organisation with no connection to politics. How true is this claim? At the centenary celebrations of the RSS, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Nagpur — the laboratory of the RSS’s “test-tube babies” — and said, “I may be the Prime Minister of the country, but first and foremost I am the son of my non-biological mother, the RSS.” The BJP’s first Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had also said the same thing in the premises of the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, pausing for two minutes: “I may be the country’s Prime Minister, but my first loyalty is to the RSS.”
The breaking of the Janata Party is proof of what? In 1977, Jayaprakash Narayan had made an effort to unite various opposition parties — Socialist Party, Congress (Organisation), Jana Sangh, and parties of Chaudhary Charan Singh, Jagjivan Ram, and Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna — to defeat the Congress during the Emergency. I had opposed the formation of this single party because the Jana Sangh was the second edition of the Hindu Mahasabha. It was the beginning of Hindu communal polarisation, aiming to fulfil the dream of Savarkar and Golwalkar of establishing a Hindu Rashtra under the principle of “Ek Chalak Anuvartit” (one leader, total obedience), reducing minorities, Dalits, backward classes, women, and transgender people to second-class citizens.
I had told S.M. Joshi before the formation of the Janata Party that socialists could never even imagine merging with a Hindu nationalist, pro-free market capitalist party like the Jana Sangh, which represented kings, maharajas, zamindars, and upper castes. This experiment would prove suicidal for the Socialist Party.
Interestingly, before meeting me, S.M. Joshi had met George Fernandes in Tihar Jail. George Fernandes was then the national president of the Socialist Party. S.M. Joshi told me that George’s opinion was the same as mine. I was only 23 years old at the time. I said that if even the national president agrees with me, I feel reassured that I am right. What happened to George Fernandes in the later part of his life is known to everyone.
Despite all this, the Janata Party was formed. It broke down within two years in front of Jayaprakash Narayan’s eyes. He said, “My garden has been destroyed.” In reality, it was never a garden — it was just a forcibly assembled bouquet made in haste during the Emergency. It was bound to wither away.
On 7 April 1980, the old Jana Sangh people founded the Bharatiya Janata Party. Today marks the completion of 46 years of its formation. Within five years of its founding, in 1985, under the pretext of the Shah Bano case, L.K. Advani raked up the Babri Masjid–Ram Janmabhoomi dispute. Through rath yatras and the slogan “The question is not of law but of faith” and “We will build the temple there,” the BJP’s entire politics has been centred on tearing apart the Indian Constitution.
Then came the 2002 Gujarat riots under the present Prime Minister’s tenure as Chief Minister — the first use of state machinery after independence to target a minority community, which helped build his political career. According to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s final address, imposing one’s party agenda on the country and playing with its freedom amounts to treason against the nation.
The irony is that through the politics of riots, a person has managed to occupy the highest office in the country. This is putting the unity and integrity of the country at risk, as warned by Babasaheb. By creating a sense of insecurity among one-fourth of the population (the minority community), what kind of patriotism is this?
By bringing in issues like cow protection, love jihad, hijab, Citizenship Amendment Act, Article 370, and the Waqf Bill, they are effectively turning the entire minority community into second-class citizens. What kind of nationalism is this?
They have successfully pushed everyday issues of people’s lives to the margins and built the entire politics around issues of faith. This is exactly what Dr. Babasaheb warned against in his last speech to the Constituent Assembly.
Since coming to power, the BJP has continued pushing India — a multi-religious country — towards a Hindu Rashtra through demonetisation, abrogation of Article 370, the so-called Citizenship Amendment Act, farm and labour laws, love jihad laws, cow slaughter bans, and the Waqf Bill.
The judiciary, media, executive (including IB, CBI, ED, NIA, Election Commission), police, paramilitary, and even the army — institutions meant to fight external enemies — are being used primarily against one-fourth of the population, especially tribals, Dalits, and the poor who fight for their rights.
Selling public sector undertakings, water, forests, and land — this too is playing with the country’s unity and integrity by imposing the party’s agenda, as Babasaheb had warned.
The shamelessness or ruthlessness of the BJP is evident in its leaders’ claims that everything they do is in the national interest, and anyone who opposes them is anti-national. In just 12 years, how many people have been jailed using sedition and other laws?
Handing over health, education, food security, and natural resources to private masters — in what way is this nationalism? Giving railways, banks, insurance, and defence sectors to private and foreign investors — what kind of patriotism is this?
The most surprising thing is that the BJP continuously labels those who speak, write, or protest against these wrong policies as anti-nationals — all in the name of patriotism.
Even though the BJP barely manages to get 40% of the votes in a country of 1.45 billion people, it has started considering itself the owner of India. The Prime Minister says “I am not a Pradhan Mantri (Prime Minister) but a Pradhan Sevak (Chief Servant),” but his expressions and demeanour suggest this is nothing more than a slogan.
Today, on the party’s 46th foundation day, Narendra Modi said, “Some people consider us only an election machine.” Who exactly thinks so, he didn’t specify. But this is the first time since 1952 that all opposition MPs were suspended from the House, an artificial majority was created, and constitutional amendments were made in 2023 to ensure the ruling party remains in power for a hundred years — even before completing 50 years of the BJP’s existence.
Yet, no other Prime Minister has been seen so deeply involved in election campaigning, dancing and shouting in rallies. If someone calls it an election machine, there is nothing wrong with it. It seems Narendra Modi finds the greatest joy in dancing, shouting, and campaigning in election rallies.
He is perhaps the first Prime Minister in the world who went to America, held hands with then-President Donald Trump (whom he called his dear friend) under the “Howdy Modi” banner, and paraded around the stadium. Even Trump didn’t look as happy after winning the election. Perhaps Modi learned from Trump’s defeat — that without drastic changes in the Election Commission, one cannot stay in power. Following the RSS principle of “Ek Chalak Anuvartit,” the goal seems to be one election, one party, and one man.
All these changes are being justified as necessary for serving Mother India. Only after converting the entire electoral machinery into the BJP’s election machine can Narendra Modi ride like a storm across the country from east to west and north to south.
The pseudo-patriots singing songs of Akhand Bharat, with their caste-supremacist mindset, will only rest after counting how many pieces India will break into — all while sitting at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, chanting “Namaste Sadvatsale…” and claiming to bring unimaginable welfare to the entire nation.
Jai Hind. Akhand Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

माननीय गडकरी जी,

कृपया धर्मनिरपेक्षता को लेकर अपने बयान का संज्ञान लें। निवेदन है कि 'व्यक्ति' नहीं 'राज्य' के धर्मनिरपेक्ष होने का सवाल है। व्यक्ति धर्मनिरपेक्ष नहीं आस्तिक, नास्तिक या स्यादवादी होता है।

इंदिरा गाँधी और राजीव गाँधी आस्तिक थे। ईश्वर में यक़ीन रखते थे और तमाम धार्मिक कर्मकांडों और विधानों का निर्वाह करते थे।

लेकिन इन्होंने एक धर्मनिरपेक्ष भारत को बनाने और आगे बढ़ाने के संकल्प को जिया। इसका अर्थ है कि उनकी सरकारों ने धर्म के आधार पर किसी के साथ भेदभाव नहीं किया।

वैसे तो धर्मनिरपेक्ष या सेक्युलर का अर्थ है 'दुनियावी' यानी 'लौकिक।' राज्य के धर्मनिरपेक्ष होने का अर्थ है की वह लौकिक दुनिया को बेहतर बनाने के लिए काम करेगा न कि लोगों को परलोक सुधारने की पुड़िया थमाएगा।

बीजेपी ने मंदिर -मस्जिद की राजनीति करके लोगों को परलोक की पुड़िया थमाई है जिसे फाँकने पर लोक की दुर्दशा नज़र नहीं आती। सरकार यही चाहती है कि लोग वर्तमान जीवन का दर्द भूलकर परलोक की चिंता करें जो मृत्यु के बाद की कल्पना है।

महोदय, आप शायद भूल गये हैं कि जिस संविधान की शपथ लेकर आप मंत्रीपद पर आसीन है वह राज्य के धर्मनिरपेक्ष होने की घोषणा करता है और नागरिक को किसी भी धर्म को मानने का अधिकार देता है। हैरानी की बात है कि आप यह सामान्य  बात भी भुला बैठे हैं। वैसे भारतीय जनता पार्टी के गठन के समय भी एक सेक्युलर और समाजवादी भारत के प्रति प्रतिबद्धता दोहराई गयी थी। क्या यह जनता की आँख में धूल झोंकने के लिए था? 

गडकरी जी, आप फर्ज़ी डिग्री वाले की तुलना में पढ़ें लिखे माने जाते हैं ऐसी बात करके अपनी डिग्री पर भी संदेह करने का अवसर क्यों देते हैं?

Respected Chief Minister of Bihar

Bihar Government 

Chief Minister Office 

Bihar

 Subject- An Urgent Appeal for Paying Attention on the negligence of Municipal and Civil Rules and Violation of Democratic Principles over many years at Forbesganj (Sub-division of Araria District ) and to Stop the Erosion of Local Democracy.

Mahodaya,

As a citizen of small but very productive tawn like Forbesganj, Sub-division of District Araria, I , Shraddha Suman, am writing you as being distressed that , Forbesganj , a small town which has history of having Sugar Mill, Neel Factory etc during British Period ,which used to serve jobs and employment to locals and once was famous for being enriched of good economy, now has become the common crime spot and is coloured with blood stains,effected by unemployment and mal functioning of administration.

Over the years, when Bihar State has ruled by different political parties like RJD,JDU,CONGRESS and Forbesganj and other districts gave winning candidates from other parties like AIMIM ,LJP etc too,

Forbesganj has yet to afflicted from proper awareness of Democratic Rules and Regulations since more than 20 years.

As a recent unfortunate incident, a double murder case at Forbesganj (Rahul Chauhan and Nabi Hussain) has came out at date of April 9th 2026 ,there are lists of such brutal and inhuman cases which has shocked the town and made it unsafe to live many times.

 Point to be noted, these crimes and cases weren't related to any religious or political connections but are results of not maintaining Democratic Rules of country and apathy in civil authorities.

Also ,I request you to stop the continuous erosion of local democracy, implementing proper and strict rules and regulations and ensure the regrowth and reopening of Sugar Mill and other stopped industries at Forbesganj Town,So that locals can get source of income and migration can be stopped.

See it as request from a local citizen of Forbesganj Town and National General Secretary of Student Union of Socialist Party India too.

Jai Hind

Yours sincerely

चंद्रशेखर जी के जन्मदिवस पर

चंद्रशेखर जी की पहचान केवल भारत के भूतपूर्व प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में ही नहीं थी, बल्कि वे समाजवादी विचार-दर्शन में आस्था रखने वाले ऐसे सत्याग्रही थे, जो हर प्रकार के अन्याय, जुल्म, ज्यादती और गैर-बराबरी के खिलाफ संघर्ष करने तथा आमजन के हितों की आवाज बुलंद करने के लिए जाने जाते थे। इसी संकल्प को ध्यान में रखते हुए उन्होंने केरल से दिल्ली के राजघाट तक पदयात्रा की थी, जिसमें हजारों स्त्री-पुरुषों और नौजवानों ने कदम से कदम मिलाकर भाग लिया था।

इसी उद्देश्य को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए उन्होंने भारत यात्रा के बाद भारत यात्रा ट्रस्ट की स्थापना की थी। उनके जन्मदिवस के अवसर पर भोंडसी यात्रा केंद्र में उनके साथ पदयात्रा करने वाले यात्रियों को शाल और श्रीफल भेंट कर सम्मानित किया जाएगा।

समय: प्रातः 11:00 बजे से सायं 5:00 बजे तक

इस समारोह में समाजवादी नेता एवं चंद्रशेखर जी के प्रियजनों में से प्रोफेसर राजकुमार जैन, प्रसिद्ध समाजशास्त्री प्रोफेसर आनंद कुमार, के. सी. त्यागी, सुश्री रोसलिन पन्नीकर, ब्रह्म दत्त गौड़, राजेंद्रन, सूर्यकुमार, उमेश चतुर्वेदी, श्री शंकर नायर, गौरी शंकर पांडे, शिव दत्त तिवारी, श्री राजोरिया, श्री घनघोरिया, श्री सेबेस्टियन, श्री पोतनवार आदि भाग लेंगे।
