This included a march to Una – the site of this heinous crime – from Ahmadabad covering a distance of nearly 350 kilometres. Militant protests were carried out throughout Gujarat, including bandhs, rasta rokos, mass rallies, boycott of caste-based degrading professions, and so on. Several Dalits tried to commit suicide in protest. This expression of collective anger by the indignant Dalits of Gujarat and outside following the Una violence has been termed by some as a social revolt. The movement has distinguished itself from other Dalit struggles to erupt in recent times. Not content at asking only for the punishment of the culprits of caste violence, the Dalits during the Una movement went further and challenged the very foundations of casteism by refusing to perform their caste-based traditional occupations. In place of these occupations – which were not of their choice but were imposed on them by the Brahmanical feudal society – the Dalits raised the demand of sufficient cultivable land for every household which would enable them to raise crops with their family labour, make them independent peasants and liberate them from the humiliating dependence on the big landholders and proprietors belonging to the so-called Upper Castes. 2 July - December 2016 MIB-34 In this way, Una struggle has inaugurated and Samata Sainik Dal led by Dr. Ambedkar a new phase of Dalit struggle by not only to the Dalit Panthers movement on the one challenging caste-based violence, inequality, hand, while alluding to the tradition of discrimination and humiliation but by going revolutionary struggle of the landless and beyond it to challenge the very foundations, poor peasants for land and political power i.e., the economic base, of the Brahmanical inaugurated by Naxalbari armed agrarian feudalism that perpetuates the hated hierarchy revolutionary uprising on the other. of castes. What makes Una struggle Therefore, even though what the Dalits are immensely significant – and not only for the demanding in the wake of Una is within the Dalits but for all democratic classes, strata and framework of democratic reforms, these sections of the Indian society – is the fact that reforms – and the democratic struggles to in addition to reaffirming the demand for the achieve these reforms – have the potential to right to life, livelihood, dignity and equal aid and ally themselves with the Indian opportunity promised by the Indian revolution at its present new democratic stage. Constitution, it has raised the demand for the Una struggle has once again right over the principal means of production, demonstrated that the toiling Dalit masses of particularly land. Thereby it has raised the the country are ready to struggle for their concerns not only of the Dalit petty emancipation. But their aspiration for putting bourgeoisie but also of the vast landless Dalit an end to the present degrading social system masses of the countryside. which keeps them enslaved can only be It is undeniable that just like all realised by following the correct path of opportunities and avenues of social progress struggle. Therefore, it is the duty and the task such as public education and jobs have been of all revolutionaries to take the message to monopolised by the upper strata of the so- the Dalit masses that it is only the democratic called Upper Castes (leaving the degrading revolution – led by the proletariat and guided jobs for the Dalits), in the same way, the by the proletarian ideology of Marxism- principal means of production – the most Leninism-Maoism that follows the path of important of which is land for an agrarian protracted people’s war – that can uproot the country like India – has been monopolised by present semi-colonial and semi-feudal system the landlords belonging to the upper strata of and accomplish the historic task of the dominant castes. This monopoly has been annihilating caste both in the economic base maintained at the expense of all other classes and the superstructure. and castes, the Dalits being placed at one of It is therefore necessary to ensure that the the two extreme ends of this social flame of struggle lit up by Una is not polarisation.

  • Greater Bangladesh
    Annexure 3 Plan to Create Greater Bangla Desh including Assam in it Greater Bangladesh From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Greater Bangladesh (translated variously as Bengali : , Brihat Bangladesh ;[1] Bengali : Brihad Bangladesh ;[2] Bengali : , Maha Bangladesh ;[3] and Bengali : , Bishal Bangla [4] ) is a political theory circulated by a number of Indian politicians and writers that People's Republic of Bangladesh is trying for the territorial expansion to include the Indian states of West Bengal , Assam and others in northeastern India. [5] The theory is principally based on fact that a large number of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants reside in Indian territory. [6] Contents [hide ] 1 History o 1.1 United Bengal o 1.2 Militant organizations 2 Illegal immigration o 2.1 Lebensraum theory o 2.2 Nellie massacre o 2.3 The Sinha Report 3 References [edit ]History The ethno-linguistic region of Bengal encompasses the territory of Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal , as well as parts of Assam and Tripura . During the rule of the Hindu Sena dynasty in Bengal the notion of a Greater Bangladesh first emerged with the idea of uniting Bengali-speaking people in the areas now known as Orissa , Bihar and Indian North East (Assam, Tripura, and Meghalaya ) along with the Bengal .[7] These areas formed the Bengal Presidency , a province of British India formed in 1765, though Assam including Meghalaya and Sylhet District was severed from the Presidency in 1874, which became the Province of Assam together with Lushai Hills in 1912. This province was partitioned in 1947 into Hindu -majority West Bengal and Muslim - majority East Bengal (now Bangladesh) to facilitate the creation of the separate Muslim state of Pakistan , of which East Bengal became a province.

Here is the detailed report on the encounter. BACKGROUND Gadchiroli with its thick forests touching the borders of Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh has become notorious for the concentration of the Left Wing Extremists for almost five decades. Because of the hostile terrains and difficulties in reaching out to the remote areas, Gadchiroli provided easy passage to the extremists to move freely from Andhra Pradesh to MP and Chattisgarh. Hostile terrains with dense forests, poverty-stricken Adivasis, and alleged indifference of the government officials earlier was conducive in making the region a hotbed of the Maoist movement.

    India’s Soft Power Image: A Case Study of the Indian Economy Under Modi India’s Soft Power Image: A Case Study of the Indian Economy under Modi Masood Khurshid and Dr. Asma Shakir Khawaja1 Abstract Soft power, being power of attraction, is non- violent and enables behavioral change through tangible and intangible persuasion. Unlike coercive military power, it emanates from the culture, political ideals, strategic aspirations, and economic dividends of a state. Soft power image may require decades to be established but remains vulnerable to state actions. Soft power, as an essentially a fluid concept, involves multiple, multidimensional, and multilayered policies. India’s sustained economic growth played a pivotal role in constructing its soft power image. Narendra Damodardas Modi became India’s Prime Minister in 2014 with the promise to improve economy - the idea generally known as shinning India. Modi’s demonetization decision in 2016 triggered economic meltdown which is worsening till to date. This research study is analytical and descriptive in nature, and endeavors to focus on the Indian economy as a case study vis- à-vis impact of its slowdown on India’s soft power image. It hypothesizes that India’s soft power 1 Commodore Masood Khurshid (Commander North) is a Research Scholar at National Defence University (NDU), Islamabad, and Dr. Asma Shakir Khawaja is HOD, Strategic Studies (SS) Department, National Defence University (NDU), Islamabad. 105 JSSA Vol. VII, No. 1 Masood Khurshid & Dr. Asma Shakir Khawaja image under Narendra Modi has eroded significantly owing to his domestic and economic policies.
