Covering politics UR readers tell us that they don’t want us to cover politics and Opoliticians. They would much rather we put our energies into stories that they don’t get anywhere else. We heartily agree, but when it comes to an important election, we do think it is required for Civil Society to do its bit. So, for this issue’s cover story we have asked Sanjaya Baru to weigh in on the implications of the five states going to the polls and turn his regular column with us, Delhi Durbar, into the cover. Much is at stake in these elections and Baru, both as a journalist and someone who has been in COVER STORY government, has a keen sense of what is happening in the world of politics. This is also not the first time that we have done a cover on elections or THE BIG FIGHT IN THE STATES politicians. In fact, Narendra Modi has been featured twice as our cover Much is at stake for the BJP and regional parties in the elections story and we have tracked his journey in our own style. Earlier there were being held in five states as can be seen from the high-voltage stories we did on Manmohan Singh, Sheila Dikshit and of course Arvind Kejriwal, among other politicians big and small. campaign that has been conducted. 16 Kejriwal was in fact our first cover story when we launched in September 2003. He was then an activist on leave from the income-tax department. We cover photograph: SHREy gupta now continue to cover him in his political avatar. The distance between activism and politics has also been narrowing. The new check dams of Puttur .............................................. 10 Social sector activists don’t seem to hesitate in making their preferences known. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the kind of activist who stays with a cause and has the capacity to deal with any party in power. Pashmina weavers wait for central law............... 14 Anupam Mishra, our late friend and board member, was one such activist in an old-fashioned way. He had his views but kept an even keel. For us as journalists, there can be no question of taking sides. Staying Education is soft power.......................................................................... 20 tuned to politics and politicians in an impartial way has its dividends when tracking policy and government decision-making. We have the acquaintance Travel on the cusp of big change....................................... 21 of many politicians of different persuasions.

It is always fun to revisit a story because you get to know what happened next. We interviewed Dr C.R.

Any talk of improving the lot of farmers must really begin by working with them in their fields and empowering them in meaningful ways. Dr Elsy’s Volunteer and Donate................................................................................. 28 contribution has been in enabling farmers to navigate the complex terrain of intellectual property rights. The fact that she has done so as a scientist is particularly interesting.

    Arts and the City International Conference Budapest, 23-24 May 2019 Booklet of Abstracts artsandthecity2019.wordpress.com Keynote Speakers BERNARDINE EVARISTO, writer, London (author of Lara, Soul Tourists and Blonde Roots, among other novels) “The Many Londons of Amazing London: The Capital as Muse & City of Experimentation for this Black Woman Writer” As a writer of fiction and verse fiction, London has been a muse in most of my eight books. I am constantly finding ways to narrativize it from multiple perspectives, and through different eras and generations, as well as creating imaginary versions of the capital city in two of my books where I invented parallel universes. In my talk I will investigate how London has manifested as a guiding light for my imagination, how my writing subverts the dominant narratives about the city today and in history, and how London’s rich multiculturalism presents never-ending possibilities for creativity and storytelling. ANDREW GIBSON, Royal Holloway, University of London “The City and the Historicity of Affect in European Art Cinema 1945-80” The city, the metropolis, the megalopolis is what is increasingly given us to think and think from. Cities are where we can pursue truth and reality. What exactly does the city, or, if you like, the planetary megalopolis gives us to think? For me, above all, a historical materialism; but a historical materialism that is sui generis, of its own kind, not to be confused with other historical materialisms, a historical materialism specifically of the city. On the one hand, self- evidently, cities are always material entities, cannot be otherwise.

Aesthetic Citizenship: Popular Culture, Migrant Youth, and the Making of 'World Class' Delhi Abstract Delhi has nearly doubled in population since the early 1990s due to in-migration (censusindia.gov, 2011). These migrants, like migrants around the world, strive to adapt to their new surroundings by producing themselves in ways which make them socially, economically, and politically viable. My project examines how recent international and intranational immigrant youth who have come to Delhi to partake in its economic possibilities and, in some cases, to escape political uncertainty, are utilizing globally circulating popular cultural forms to make themselves visible in a moment when the city strives to recast its image as a world class destination for roaming capital (Roy, 2011). I focus on two super diverse settlement communities in South Delhi to explore the citizenship making claims of immigrant youth who, to date, have been virtually invisible in academic and popular narratives of the city. Specifically, I follow three groups of ethnically diverse migrant youth from these two settlement communities as they engage with hip hop, a popular cultural form originating in Black American communities in the 1970s (Chang, 2006; Morgan, 2009; Rose, 1994).

  • Download Liberation April 2021
    COVER STORY APRIL 2021 CENTRAL ORGAN OF CPI(ML) Rs. 25 COVER STORY MLAs Brutally Beaten Inside Bihar Assembly, Police Raj Act Passed The first use of the Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 was perpetrated inside the Bihar Assembly itself on 23 March. Shattering all rules and traditions of the constitutional and parliamentary system, police and goons entered the Assembly, brutally beat up opposition MLAs and pushed them out, after which BJP-JDU passed the draconian Bihar Special Armed Police Bill 2021 changing Bihar into a Police Raj. Earlier, when the Assembly session commenced on 23 March the Opposition started protesting against the Police Raj Bill. The session was adjourned a few times due to opposition protests, and proceedings were obstructed throughout the day. At 5 pm before the session was to end, a large number of RAF police personnel were called inside the Assembly on the orders of the Speaker and the government. Marshals were of course already present. The Bihar DGP, Patna SSP and DM jointly oversaw the beating, kicking, fisticuffing of MLAs as they were pushed and dragged out of the Assembly. The SSP and DM were themselves among those who did the brutal beating. The entire Assembly was filled with police personnel and the Police Raj Act was passed in the complete absence of the Opposition. Journalists were also beaten up. Leader of CPIML legislative party Comrade Mahboob Alam's arm was twisted and wrenched. Comrade Sudama Prasad was pushed and shoved and he fell down the stairs, causing a serious finger injury. A CPIM MLA was so badly beaten up that he lost consciousness.

  • 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front the Backdrop of the Election the Dates for the West Beng
    P a g e | 1 17th Assembly Election in West Bengal: 2021 Manifesto of the Left Front The Backdrop of the Election The dates for the West Bengal State Assembly elections have been announced. We are all aware that for the last one year or so, the struggle of human civilization against the corona pandemic has been going on. Our daily life as well as our movements and struggles are being conducted following all necessary precautions. In this situation, between March 27 and April 29 elections will be held in eight phases in the state of West Bengal. For the large majority of the people of the state this election is the battle for restoring democracy, the battle to end mis- governance and anarchy in the state. For the last ten years the Trinamool Congress party and its government has been running a regime of authoritarian terror in the state. Democratic voices have been throttled in a dictatorial manner. On the one hand, nepotism, corruption, extortion, syndicate rule have been unleashed and on the other hand, attacks have come down on workers, peasants, students, youth and women. Minorities, Scheduled Castes and Indigenous Peoples are similarly under attack. In the forthcoming assembly elections, the people have to concentrate all their strength to bring an end to this disastrous TrinamuIi regime. The Narendra Modi-led RSS-BJP government at the Centre are enforcing agricultural laws and restructuring labour laws all in the interest of corporate business alone. They are relentlessly implementing neo-liberal policies. The lives of ordinary people, including workers and peasants, have become miserable.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.

  • Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community
    Native American Indian Hip Hop By Neal Ullestad Native American Indian Hip Hop 2 ABSTRACT Notes on Identity and Politics in the Native American Indian Hip Hop Community 1/25/12 This article raises several questions for analysis regarding identity and politics in indigenous hip hop in the United States. Asking how community, home, land, patriarchy and colonialism affect expressed indigenous hip hop identities, and how pedagogy, affirmation and play are exhibited in Native lyrical content, primarily positive examples are examined. Native American Indian Hip Hop 3 Forged in the creative imagination of identities in resistance to imposed defeat, loss of land and culture, and stereotypes that enable oppression, Native American Indian rappers are today making a positive impact in indigenous communities across the country. Using the most modern musical techniques and sounds, they carry forward elements of the wisdom of the past. Gabriel Yaiva, Diné hip hop artist and activist from Arizona, who listens for wisdom in the “sounds of the ancients,” wonders on “Many Ways to Grow Corn,” “Who’s planning for the Seventh Generation?” (Summer Solstice, 2009) At the same time that he ponders the future, Yaiva pronounces that “there was a time when we had to wait in line to be heard.” That time has passed, and indigenous activists are speaking out, telling their stories and working together in coalitions – with natives and non-natives alike – to take control of their lives, culture and environment. An amazing array of young indigenous people is utilizing hip hop and rap as a vehicle to organize for justice and well-being and to express their Native identities.
