The Dignity of Santana Mondal
ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 The Dignity of Santana Mondal VIJAY PRASHAD Vol. 49, Issue No. 20, 17 May, 2014 Vijay Prashad ([email protected]) is the Edward Said Chair at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. Santana Mondal, a dalit woman supporter of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), was attacked by Trinamool Congress men for defying their diktat and exercising her franchise. This incident illustrates the nature of the large-scale violence which has marred the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal. Serious allegations of booth capturing and voter intimidation have been levelled against the ruling TMC. Santana Mondal, a 35 year old woman, belongs to the Arambagh Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency in Hooghly district, West Bengal. She lives in Naskarpur with her two daughters and her sister Laxmima. The sisters work as agricultural labourers. Mondal and Laxmima are supporters of the Communist Party of India-Marxist [CPI(M)], whose candidate Sakti Mohan Malik is a sitting Member of Parliament (MP). Before voting took place in the Arambagh constituency on 30 April, political activists from the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) had reportedly threatened everyone in the area against voting for the Left Front, of which the CPI(M) is an integral part. Mondal ignored the threats. Her nephew Pradip also disregarded the intimidation and became a polling agent for the CPI(M) at one of the booths. After voting had taken place, three political activists of the TMC visited Mondal’s home. They wanted her nephew Pradip but could not find him there. On 6 May, two days later, the men returned.

> Title: Rise in prices of Essential Commodities. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME (BOLPUR): Madam Speaker, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government, and of the House also, to the most urgent matter of public importance, that is, the unchecked and uncontrolled price rise of essential commodities. The prices of essential commodities, especially of food articles, are sky-rocketing. That has been going unchecked for several years. Presently, food inflation has gone to its peak levels again, but hundreds and thousands of the aam aadmi -- in terms of the Government -- are suffering. Their misery is countless as regards the price rise as the rise in fuel price was added to the plight by raising the price of petroleum products several times and decontrolling price of petrol in the market. This also further added to the suffering of the people. Presently, even the prices of vegetables and fruits have gone up. The growers are suffering and the consumers are suffering, but the hoarders and big businessmen are making countless money out of this situation. There is no food security arrangement. The Government had assured in this House that they will bring forward the food security law to protect the suffering and downtrodden people, but for the last two years we do not see any comprehensive measure being taken on the part of the Government to protect the suffering people, that is, those who cannot afford to purchase food articles. MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you. Please conclude now. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME : The per capita food consumption is coming down. This is the reality.

Extreme Stress and Investor Behavior: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Extreme stress and investor behavior: Evidence from a natural experiment Vikas Agarwal, Georgia State University Pulak Ghosh, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Haibei Zhao, Lehigh University August 2019 Abstract We use the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks as a natural experiment to examine how exposure to extreme stress affects financial decision making, as measured by investors’ stock trading activity and performance. We find that Mumbai investors trade less, perform worse, take longer time to react to corporate news announcement, are less likely to initiate trades on new stocks, and perform worse on familiar stocks compared with other traders. Collectively, our findings are most consistent with impairment of cognitive ability after exposure to prolonged and extreme stress.
