Boys from every background, caste, race, creed, and religion proudly sang the national anthem before it was adopted by a free India; boys and teachers were taught to value service before self; and secularism, discipline, and equality characterised the School’s playgrounds, houses, and classrooms long before these values reached other schools or the nation.

  • Kashmir: Abolition of Article 370
    Kashmir: Abolition of Article 370 E Digest Compilation of Relevant articles and YouTube videos Compilation by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com 1 | P a g e Preface Kashmir has been in the news from last couple of months and the Government has abolished article 370 and Article 35A. At the same time the state has been split into two union territories. All these actions of the government have been followed up by a massive propaganda that the Kashmir problem has been the doing of Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, had Sardar Patel been dealing with the issue, the problem would not have been there. False claims are being made that Babasaheb Ambedkar was against Article 370. A video film has been released by BJP to propagate these falsehoods at broad level. This compilation is an attempt to put forward the documented History, the events which led to accession of Kashmir with India and the rise of militancy there off, why the Constituent Assembly drafted Article 370 as the part of Indian Constitution. The basic similarities in the approach of Nehru and Patel on the issue of Kashmir are brought out. Also how Babasaheb opined on division of Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani part is also outlined. We also have given the video links of some of the YouTube videos on the topic. Your feedback to this compilation is welcome.

  • Negative Anarchy: the Cut Throat Politics of Ram Mandir, Adding Much to the BJP's Woes!
    Negative Anarchy: The Cut Throat Politics Of Ram Mandir, Adding Much To The BJP’s Woes! By Sabyasachi Biswal , January 22, 2019 For time immemorial, anarchy has struck into our chord a feeling of uneasiness, a state of chaos difficult to control without a central figure of power and have long been associated with the synonyms of disorder, disturbance, lawlessness and mayhem. But quite surprisingly the dictionary meaning and the one accepted in the political spheres of theorists and researchers claim anarchy as a concept having both positive and negative implications. On one hand it is described as a negative “lack of control” (Cambridge Dictionary n.d.) and on the other it is portrayed as a positive “utopia” where citizens enjoy complete freedom without the government’s intervention (Merriam Webster n.d.). Hence, it was no surprise that famous anarchist David Wieck in his famous article “The negativity of anarchism” mentioned anarchy as an idea of liberation, an end to overt or covert power structures that control movements of liberations as well as rejection of concept that dominates the society for dubious self-interest on grounds of hierarchical control. Though it sat well inside the ears, he also ended up describing it as highly anti-political and a system of inconceivable power calling out a greater question of who will decide and quite fearfully attached it to the dissolution of only stable political order – democracy (Wieck 1975). Anarchy has prevailed as the reason for some of the greatest revolutions, the pages of history has ever seen. The French Revolution of 1789 and the Tunisian Revolution in the early 2011 stands out as some of the most prominent revolutions arising out from positive anarchist ideas among others, threatening to topple the regimes of their respective countries by the likes of common men like Robespierre and Bouzazi if the demands of the ordinary citizens are not met to establish a democratic state if not socialist.

The pandemic nearly brought the world to a standstill. Those of us who lived during the pandemic witnessed unknown times. The fear of getting infected of a very contagious disease that could even cause death was writ large on people’s faces. People were confined to their homes. They stepped out only when absolutely necessary, e.g. to buy provisions or to access medical services; or if they were serving in essential services like hospitals, security and police, etc. Economic activities were down to minimum. Means of public transportation were halted, all educational institutions, industries and work establishments were closed.
