  • Narratives of Peasant Resistance at Nandigram, West Bengal in 2007
    ‘The blessed land’: narratives of peasant resistance at Nandigram, West Bengal, in 2007 Adam McConnochie A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2012 ii Abstract In early 2007, the West Bengal state government in India sought to acquire over 10,000 acres of cultivated rural land in Nandigram, East Midnapur. The government, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) led Left Front coalition, sought to acquire this land to allow the Indonesian industrialists, the Salim group, to construct a chemical hub. Land acquisition had been increasing in India since 2005, when the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Act was passed for the purpose of attracting investment from national and multinational corporations. Peasants in Nandigram were opposed to the acquisition of their land, and during 2007 successfully resisted the government attempts to do so. In response, the CPI-M sent party cadre to harass, rape and murder the peasantry, using their control of government to punish people in Nandigram. This thesis examines the events at Nandigram between June 2006 and May 2008 and investigates the narratives of peasant resistance that emerged in West Bengal. It focuses on three groups of West Bengal society: the peasants of Nandigram, the intellectuals and civil society of West Bengal, and the major political parties of West Bengal. Existing explanations of the events at Nandigram have focused on the role of intellectuals and civil society, and their views have dominated the literature. The existing historiography has argued that land acquisition policies and the subsequent resistance at Nandigram were an effect of neoliberal policies, policies that had been pursued by both the central and state governments in India since the 1990s.

    THE NEWS SCROLL 26 NOVEMBER 2020 Last Updated at 5:56 PM | SOURCE: PTI G20 must lead world by addressing climate change, working towards universal healthcare: Prabhu New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI) The future of the world is also the responsibility of the G20, and the grouping of developed and emerging economies must guide and lead the world by addressing climate change and working towards universal healthcare, India''s Sherpa to G20 Suresh Prabhu said on Thursday. Addressing a virtual event organised by the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), Prabhu said the lack of multilateralism is going to create more challenges for the world. "The future of the world is also the responsibility of the G20. G20 countries as a grouping must guide and lead the world by addressing climate change and working towards universal healthcare," he said. Prabhu said the global economy is itself under threat, it is already witnessing challenges. "It (global economy) was slowing down before 2019, multilateralism should be a guiding principle to deal with such issues," he said adding that lack of multilateralism is going to create more challenges. Prabhu, also a former Union minister, said the Paris climate change agreement is important and the global community must ensure its implementation. Noting that the G20 countries in the recently concluded Riyadh Summit mentioned that the COVID-19 vaccine should be made available universally. "G20 countries must share health technology universally to prevent future pandemic as well." The Ministry of External Affairs in a recent statement said it was decided that the G20 presidency will be held in Indonesia in 2022, India in 2023 and Brazil in 2024.
