For sustainable peace and ending of hatred, war and fascism

  HE President Putin, Greetings from Varanasi, the cultural capital of India!! This letter from the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha coincides with the 355 th day of Russia – Ukraine war. Excellency, your article in 2012 in an Indian newspaper  The Hindu , mentioned that, “The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between India and Russia signed in October 2000 became a truly historic step."   Such a partnership between our countries defies the conventional interpretation of diplomacy which centres around maximising national interest. This declaration also realises the centuries old human values and traditions shared between our countries. Russia always endeavoured to ensure a peaceful India that marks its position among the nations of the world without fear from many powerful nations. Your country’s cooperation in the field of technology and energy led to peaceful use and strengthening national defence. India’s conflict with its neighbours or support for establ...

  The recent Joshimath tragedy and many other disasters have highlighted the fact that women face severe health issues, besides emotional turmoil, in coping with the crisis and relief measures have failed to lessen their agony, writes Biswajeet Banerjee On January 28, women who were shifted to relief camps in Joshimath after their houses developed cracks following subsidence in the area, gheraoed district officials and asked how long they had to stay in makeshift accommodations which compromised their privacy and health. “The conditions in which we are living are unhygienic. Three to four families are staying in one big room. Students cannot study and women are facing health issues due to lack of privacy and dirty toilets which we are forced to use,” said Hima Devi, who was forced to leave her house in Singhdhar. Insomnia, anxiety and uncertainty torments most residents in relief camps but the protest by women exposed officials to a grim reality — they never planned about women and...

The world is complex which I know. While #PRIO talks about 75 years of #UDHR it remains silent on the killing of Gandhi jee, the same year. It is not just PRIO, most of the research groups follow the same line of argument that the West has an answer to uphold peace. Every fifth person in the globe is an Indian who is fighting the rise of ultra-right wing politics in his or her country. The same ultra-right wing forces, follower of the idea of Hitler's pure race joined hands with Muslim communal force to divide India on the basis of religion. Today they have come to power and carry a dislike for human rights and peace. Their penchant for conflict within the society with a sole aim to perpetuate violence is doing every act to erase the idea of peace of Gandhiji. However, they are  hugged by the few Western powers. Reason, is business. Human rights can be discussed later. This is 24 carat double standard. It is noted that India and Pakistan, two nuclear powered nations are culturally ...
