Maya gives PM a migraine with a shot of T-virus
The Telangana `quake' Friday rocked more States – from Uttar Pradesh to West Bengal and then to Maharashtra. In a surprise move that could give the Centre some more sleepless nights, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati wanted her state to be further divided into Bundelkhand and Harit Pradesh.
"I have written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, urging him to give clearance for carving out independent states of Bundelkhand and Harit Pradesh out of a giant sized and unmanageable Uttar Pradesh," Mayawati told a hurriedly convened press conference in Lucknow Friday evening.
Rubbing salt into the would inflicted by the Telangana issue, she said: "Since the centre has already given its nod for carving out the state of Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh, there was good enough reason to follow the same exercise in case of UP, where the demand for an independent Bundelkhand in southern UP and a Harit Pradesh in western UP was being raised for a long time."
While political observers felt that the move was aimed at creating greater discomfort for the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the centre already grappling with the gradually increasing demand for statehood from different corners of the country, Mayawati sought to justify her demand by impressing that she had had these views for long.
"I was always in favour of smaller states as they are much simpler to govern," she said adding: "These views have been expressed by me on several occasions in the past as well."
Asked if she would move a resolution in this regard in the state assembly, Mayawati shot back: "Well, I would do so once the centre has given its approval in principle."
Meanwhile, a four-member Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) delegation along with Darjeeling Member of Parliament Jaswant Singh met Home Minister P. Chidambaram in Delhi Friday to press for creation of a separate state of Gorkhaland in northern West Bengal.
The GJM has announced a four-day bandh and relay hunger strike in the hills, triggering an exodus of tourists from the region.
Speaking to reporters at the end of the meeting, Jaswant Singh said he had assured the home minister that "peace will be maintained" during the bandh, but added that "people must give voice to their sentiments".
He said the demand for Gorkhaland is the "oldest demand for separate statehood of any state carved out in the union of India".
"I emphasised that this is not an attempt in any fashion to exploit the Telangana announcement or to ride piggyback on the Telangana situation," he said.
"The people's aspiration in the Gorkhaland area were raised by the fact that Telangana was announced," he said.
In Maharashtra, supporters of Saurashtra Friday demanded separate statehood and stormed a government office in Nagpur.

The sudden manner in which the Union government has chosen to address the demand for a separate state of Telangana, carved out of Andhra Pradesh, raises an important question for corporate India regarding the future of Hyderabad. The "triplet" cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad-Cyberabad have emerged as a major centre of business.
My Dear readers, My Friends, I tried to post just updates of developments during last few days as I am seriously INDISPOSED and know not how long I may Survive as I may not help the Costly Medical care needed immediately. I repent not as my Parents also died in such circumstances. I am lucky to ensure sustained medical treatment of my wife , Sabita, all these years but we may not hike the medical budget. You know, I am Diabetic since 1999. My mother died of Diabetes! My Father Pulin Babu had many friends in Power and they tried to keep him fit as our family hardly could be in his touch. Only during Meerut Riots, during late eighties, I could seize him in Meerut Medical College as the City was under Curfew and Military Rule. My Father, A Muslim Old man and a Helpless widow were the only three patients in the TB ward stranded. The Doctors and the Military Officers would not allow them to cross over the premises. My Father had fled from Ram Manohar Lohia hospital while then Industry Minister of India, ND Tiwari got him admitted there! It was very hard to get my Father in the Hospital as he would land in any Trouble area. TB, naturally converted into Cancer and proved fatal. He did run countrywide for his people until cancer struck him down. As a son I could not help him to get recover neither , I was able to assist him any way in his missin as I hated all the Politicians , on whom our people were depending so much! Personally, I never feel deserving Medical care as my parents, my villagers, my friends and my People, the Indian Masses are deprived of. Only difference is this, that my father continued until last day he breathed as he NEVER depended on Net or Network. I do. I may not update neither the net nor the Network as I go blank so often anywhere anytime. I have low Pressure and Sugar in Blood. Which happen to be potential enough to create any Organ dis functional! Even Zero Payment Insurance may land anyone in TROUBLE as the entire insured amount is wasted often in Diagnosis and you may land any where as the Nursing Home and Private Hospital Revenue does get SPINNING all time in so called Health Security. Where should we go while the Doctors often Play as Butchers in the FREE Market Medical care system! I prefer to die than to be trapped in this Medical Black Hole!
Sorry, my readers! Many of you may remember my face engaged in nationality Movements in the Himalayas, North East and Central India! I have always maintained that CREATION of Small and Smaller states my help the Corporates, MNCs,India Incs, B grade CDE grade Politicians, Officers and Intellectuals to have their TIME as You get the Chance to shake hand with the Queen or World Bank and UNESCO recognises so easily.
But the Creation of Small States may not resolve the Nationality Problems. Rather it does open the Pandora`s Box of unfulfilled Personal Ambitions proving Suicidal and Self Destruction for the nationalities and Identifies who would never know the ECONOMY and Politics of Regional Imbalance and Discrimination, Inherent Inequality, Injustice, Alienation, Loot of natural Resources, Revenue and Human resources, NGO Welfare, Political Ideologies and Politicians, Stakes and Interests, the agenda of Ethnic Cleansing and Mass destruction!
Central India is the Den of Maoist Menace and the new state Chhattisgarh is the Epicentre along with Jharkhand. NDA created three New Sates Uttarakhand, Chhattishgarh and Jharkhand and Captured the Polity while the Economy was taken over by Corporates as HINDUTVA overwhelmed the Nationality and Identity. Uttarakhand becomes the Provnce of SIDCULE, Energy Sate! Jharkhand remains the den of Illegal Mining and greatest market of Bonded Labour as the Flagship Programme may not bail out the tribal and they had the last Resort as Political Option and it is Maoism! Chattishgarh has the same story.
Assam had been divide in so many states and the Peaceful Northeast having so many Small states has become not only Alienated from Rest Of India but the Government of India rules the Entire Zone with Military Option and Zero Intolerance.Sharmila has to be on Hunger Strike for full Nine Years and AFPSA Continues since 1958 non stop!
It seems to me as Imperialism and Free Market Democracy Promoted by USA kills the United Nations as it is Proved in Kyoto and once again in Copenhagen and the UN is replaced by World Bank and IMF, without addressing Nationality or Identity Problems, in the same way Ethnonationalism Aroused making way for Corporate Raj , Free market, Exploitation of everything the Nature and this good Earth have, at least JHARKHAND and Chhattishgarh and even Uttarakhand have proved it and I have been involved in nationality Movement in all these three states. I know that the SMALL States Created have in fact become the Best tools of mass Destruction, Displacement, Exodus, Ethnic Cleansing and make way for TOTAL Capture and Monopolistic Aggression. The Political System as well as Media, intelligentsia, Civil Societies, NGOS engage themselves to finalise the Policies, Logic, Situation and Justification of EVACUATION and Extinction!
I am afraid NOT Only Telengana but many parts of Indian Aboriginal landscape and Human scape would be treated in the Same way and the Traditional Identities of Home Sate, Homeland, Home and Nation would become Irrelevant! Sorry!
Mamata against division of West Bengal
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today indicated that her party did not want a divided West Bengal as demands for Gorkhaland gains momentum and refused to comment on the Telangana statehood issue. "We do not want to divide the state but if we want something to say, whatever we will say, when the discussion will come then we will say," Banerjee said in the wake of the fast-unto-death launched by Gorkha Janmukti Morcha members demanding a separate Gorkhaland carved out of West Bengal.
After the announcement by the Centre on a separate Telengana, members of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha today began fast-unto-death at five places in Darjeeling hills and Dooars demanding Gorkhaland state. Banerjee also refused to comment on the creation of Telengana.
While Samajwadi Party and CPI(M) have opposed the creation of Telengana from Andhar Pradesh, CPI and RJD have supported it.
Diverted from Ambedkarite Ideology and Submerged in Casteology only and Busy to get a Favourable Landscape as well as Humanscape my expose powerful dalit Leader like Mayawati as she Never Considers the Problem of nationality, economy, revenue, Human Resurces, Repression, LPG mafia and Power Politics as an AMBEDKARITE. The KANSHIRAM Train has thus derailed the Ambedkarite ideology and Casteology has taken over INDIAN Politics!
Whereas, Congress backtracking on Telangana resolution?
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah said on Friday that there was no time-frame for moving a resolution in the State Assembly on the Telangana issue.
"I have been told by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram that they would advise me at an appropriate time on moving Telangana resolution," the Chief Minister told reporters in the Assembly premises.
He said that he was constantly updating party high command over the developments in the state to find out a solution to the crisis.
Referring to the resignation of about 70 Congress MLAs, Rosaiah said, "As chief minister and a colleague I am really worried about this".
He said the Congress has a system to deal with such things. "At an appropriate time the party will deal with this."
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Friday strongly demanded the Centre to create separate states of Bundelkhand and Paschim Uttar Pradesh.Addressing a press conference here Mayawati said: "Today I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister demanding the creation of separate Bundelkhand and Paschim Uttar Pradesh."
With demands for creation of smaller states gaining momentum after the Centre''s move to initiate the process for separate Telangana, the Congress today said the carving out of new states from the existing ones should be need based and only for better administration. "We are not opposed to smaller states.
However, new states should be need based, created for better and focused administration and not to adjust some political parties who have failed to gain a foothold in the bigger states," party spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said. Ahmed said there should be justification if a state was to be formed.
"States should be created for welfare of the people if some part of the state is neglected due to some reason or the other," he said. Ahmed''s remarks hold significance after UP Chief Minister Mayawati favoured creation of Bundelkhand and western Uttar Pradesh out of Uttar Pradesh and wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh favouring small states on the lines of Telangana.
Referring to the creation of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh in 2000, Ahmed hinted that the experience has not been good as the Maoists have spread themselves in these states. The spokesman parried a question whether the Centre would consider the proposal of Mayawati on Bundelkhand and Western UP..
"My government and my party (Bahujan Samaj Party) are in favour of creation on smaller states and administrative units. We expresses the same many times earlier."
In her letter to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Mayawati demanded a permission to move a resolution in the Uttar Pradesh assembly for the creation of these two states on the same line of Telangana resolution.
On Wednesday, the Centre asked the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rossaih to move a resolution in the state assembly for the creation of separate Telangana state.
Mayawati's demand came two days after the centre's decision to give green signal in principle for the creation of separate Telangana.
Since last 50 years there is a movement for Bundelkhand state as Jhansi being its capital. Bundelkhand region is covering some part of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
The population of this region is apprx. 5 crores. In spite of being rich in minerals, the people of Bundelkhand are very poor and backward because of no representation in the state and central politics.
The local parties and local leaders are running several movements having different names. Few movements are for its development, few are for its formation as a state." Bundelkhand akikrit party and "Bundelkhand Mukti Morcha" are two political organisations for this cause.
Mayawati also expressed her full support to the pro Bundelkhand and Paschimi Uttar Pradesh Movement but urged the people to raise the issue in a democratic way and not to take law into hand.
In West Bengal the demand for the creation of separate Gorkhaland has also reached the sky with activits sitting on 96 hours fast at Darjeeling.
Andhra crisis deepens as legislators' resignations pour in
The political crisis in Andhra Pradesh, triggered by the central government's decision to grant separate statehood to Telangana, deepened Friday with legislators from the other two regions continuing their mass resignations while shutdowns paralysed life in parts of the state.
The southern state stood divided on regional lines, with as many as 130 legislators submitting their resignations protesting the decision on Telangana.
However, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said no hasty decision will be taken on the issue of a separate Telangana state, Congress MPs from the coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions who met him Friday in New Delhi quoted him as saying.
As many as 20 Congress MPs, including union ministers, led by K.Sambasiva Rao met the prime minister and raised their apprehensions on carving out Telangana from Andhra Pradesh.
'The prime minister has assured us that no hasty decision will be taken on this issue. He said the matter will be discussed in the Congress core committee meeting expected later Friday,' Rao told reporters later.
L. Rajagaopal, one of the three Congress MPs who have submitted their resignations, has threatened to launch a fast unto death to prevent bifurcation of the state. The MP from Vijayawada said he would never accept a separate Telangana state.
Cutting across party lines, 130 state legislators from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions also have submitted their resignations to Speaker Kiran Kumar Reddy. These include 76 legislators of the ruling Congress, 40 of the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and 14 of the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP).
These legislators allege that the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the centre took a 'unilateral' decision on carving out a separate Telangana state without consulting them.
There are 175 members from the two regions in the 294-member Andhra Pradesh assembly, while the remaining 119 members come from the Telangana region.
The speaker said he had not accepted their resignations and was seeking legal opinion on the issue.
The uproar over resignations stalled both houses of the state legislature, forcing their adjournment till Monday.
Chief Minister K. Rosaiah said his government was not reduced to a minority as the resignations of the legislators were not yet accepted. The Congress has 156 members in the state assembly.
Giving a new twist to the row over Telangana, Rosaiah said he had not received written or oral directions from the central government to move a resolution in the assembly.
He said Home Minister P. Chidambaram had only said that the process for formation of Telangana state would be initiated and to his understanding, it implied that consultations would begin with leaders of other regions.
He appealed to legislators of all political parties not to resign in anger, pointing out that a resolution can be passed only after consensus.
The chief minister also appealed to people, especially youth, to show restraint and not to resort to violence.
However, the shutdown called in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions by all parties and various groups opposed to bifurcation of the state turned violent as protesters set afire buses, a post office and attacked a bank.
Normal life was paralysed in nine coastal districts and four districts of Rayalaseema as state-owned Road Transport Corporation (RTC) buses went off the roads. Shops and business establishments remained closed.
In the coastal city of Visakhapatnam, protestors attacked a branch of the HSBC Bank while in Kadapa town of Rayalseema, a post office was set afire.
Protesters also staged road blockades on national and state highways and stopped trains at various railway stations.
The regional divide saw lawyers of Telangana and Andhra clashing in the state high court here. Tension prevailed as lawyers opposing a separate Telangana state clashed with those demanding bifurcation.
Home Secretary G.K. Pillai's statement that the process of formation of Telangana state would continue and that Hyderabad would be its capital of Telangana, evoked strong reaction from the ministers and legislators opposing division of the state. They termed Pillai's remarks 'provocative'.
Meanwhile, Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) chief K.Chandrasekhar Rao, whose 11-day hunger strike forced the government to agree to his demand for a Telangana state, was Friday discharged from a hospital here.
KCR, as he is popularly known among the people by his initials, returned to his home here. The TRS, however, dropped its plans for taking out a victory rally.
Govt has lost control over food prices: CPI (M)
The CPI (M) today warned the UPA government of intensified struggle against price rise if it fails to crackdown on hoarders and ban futures trading in all food articles to curtail food inflation. "The CPI (M) will intensify the struggle against price rise till the UPA Government initiates these steps in the coming days," the Communist Party of India (Marxist) said listing down its demands.
The party expressed its deep concern at the rising food price inflation that crossed 19 per cent in the week ending November 28. It stood at 15.5 per cent in mid-November and 13.3 per cent at October-end.
The galloping food prices are primarily being "caused by the corporates and big traders", who are utilising shortages in food items "for hoarding and reckless profiteering", the Left party said in a statement. "The government has lost control over food prices due to the pursuit of free market policies," the party said.
"Futures trading in all food articles must be immediately banned," the CPI (M) demanded. The Centre, in coordination with the state governments, must launch a countrywide crackdown against hoarding and black-marketing, and all private traders must disclose their stocks and release the surplus, it said.

Anti-Maoist operations to begin from Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh
New Delhi IANS- Central paramilitary forces have taken up positions to begin the offensive against Maoist guerrillas in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh in the first half of December, senior officers here say.
The schedule has been worked out, forces have been deployed and, if everything goes well, the first phase of the operations could take off as early as next fortnight.
`The battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF), the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) had already taken their positions in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, from where we would first start the operations,' a senior officer dealing with anti-Maoist operations told IANS on condition of strict anonymity. The BSF, ITBP and CRPF would be jointly operating in Chhattisgarh, he added.Four battalions from the ITBP and at least two from BSF have moved to Chhattisgarh. Each battalion comprises 700 personnel. The CRPF is present in large numbers in Chhattisgarh, the most affected by Maoist violence.
In Maharashtra the onus of taking on the Maoists largely lies on the shoulders of the CRPF. The force has moved additional three battalions in the state, the officer added.
The CRPF, one the world's largest paramilitary forces, has 207 battalions.
Another senior officer, who was not authorised to speak to media, said: The operations will be jointly launched in synergy in both the states. It will be coordinated and additional forces would be rushed as per the requirement.
Asked about the launch of offensive operations, the officer said: It will not be launched nationwide. In first half of December we would be covering Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
After the setting up of a government in Jharkhand, which is presently undergoing elections, we will take up operations there, he said, adding that no timeline had been set for commencing operations in the state.
And, once the election process is complete in Jharkhand, the BSF and CRPF battalions which are presently posted there will undergo specific training related to anti-Maoist operations and will be deployed in Orissa.
Once they are trained, we would be deploying them in Orissa for the offensive against the Maoists. All the operations would be in phases and one after the other. The plan is to capture and control Maoist controlled areas in the affected states one by one, the official added.
Senior officials confided to IANS that it will not be before March when the security forces will launch their operations in all the Maoist-affected states.
According to rough estimations, over 60,000 security personnel from the central paramilitary forces would be in acction against 6,000-7,000 armed Maoist cadres. Officials say the Maoists are armed with heavy as well sophisticated weapons like light machine guns, AK-47s, AK-56s and Insas rifles.

Obama's War Speech: The Questions It Raises… And The Answer That Must Be Given
By Larry Everest
On Tuesday, December 1, at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, President Barack Obama announced that he would send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. He also called for 10,000 more NATO troops, which pushes the total U.S.-led forces to nearly 150,000, and he announced plans to step up the war on a number of fronts including (without being specific) in Pakistan. Obama has now tripled the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan since he took office.
These military forces will not be going to Afghanistan to set up vaccination programs or conduct literacy classes for Afghan girls. They are going there as part of the most destructive military machine on the planet, to wreak violence. The military machine that has bombed wedding parties, that has held thousands of young Afghan men in Bagram prison without charges, that kicks down doors in the middle of the night—this machine is being strengthened and further unleashed.
The West Point speech is being called the "defining moment" of Obama's presidency. Thus far into his term, at least, that is true. So it is important to look deeply at the questions Obama posed and the answers he gave—and in doing so to get into the real underlying causes of the military escalation now being put into effect.

First settlers in China and the Orient were Indian migrants: Study
New Delhi, Dec. 11 (ANI): The ancestors of the contemporary population of China, Japan and other East Asian countries had migrated from India, according to a research study conducted by a team of scientists from 10 Asian countries.
The Minister of State for Science and Technology, Prithviraj Chavan, disclosed this while addressing a press conference at New Delhi on Friday.
He said that the findings of this research would help in understanding of migratory patterns human beings and allied social trends.
"The study shows that single entry or single migration (a wave of people), perhaps 40,000 or 50,000 years, migrated (from Africa) along the Indian coastal belt up to south India and it gradually migrated northwards and entire east Asian population including China upto Japan, Thailand, Indonesia all people seems to have gone from south India," said Prithviraj Chavan.
The path breaking study, in the evolution of humans and their spread across the world, will have major bearing on medical treatment.
"Therefore, it (the study) has great implication for medicine because whenever a new molecule is discovered or whenever a new treatment is discovered. We have to conduct substantial amount of human trial and therefore, we have found out significantly that particular groups of population react to a drug in certain way," added Prithviraj Chavan.
Ten countries - India, China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand - were part of this scientific study and analysis. (ANI)
An Appeal to Thinkers, Intellectuals, Artists and Writers
by Satnam and Buta Singh, Forum Punjab, December 5, 2009
[This is an edited version. The full article is available at http://southasiarev.com]
The Indian state has amassed troops in central India on an unprecedented scale, to swoop down on the people. It is the latest of the wars launched by the Indian State against the people living in this country. The government says that it has to move against these areas as Maoists hold sway over it and it is not under the control of central or state authority...
The current attack on the poor in central India is nothing but an enhanced and more deadly version of the same state violence that has continued since 1947. It is meant to break the fight back of the people there, the fight of the poorest of the poor, of the tribal peasants, and workers working in the mines. It is meant to tell others everywhere in the country, not to stand up for their rights, not to oppose the policies of the state though they go against the interests of the people and the country.
The centre of resistance is being encircled not just to break it, but also to destroy the new things which the people have created during the course of their struggles and which they have toiled hard to build. The government has started a vilification campaign against those who refuse to budge, who refuse to kowtow and who refuse to be further misled by the never ending empty promises of development and progress. They know that this development is not for them. For a government which has discarded the ideal of a welfare state can't genuinely embark on a thing which it has abandoned at the behest of imperialist capital, the World Bank and the WTO.
People's Development Committees in the Dandakaranya
The people under attack have built their own local government, the Jantana Sarkar, at various levels, taking their future into their own hands, for a real tryst with destiny.
Let us have a look in brief, at what the people have built through their Development Committees in the villages in Dandakaranya, and what the State wants to destroy. It will give us a glimpse of what the Maoists hold as a vision for the progress and development of our country – development which is indigenously and self reliantly built, one which is people oriented and is constructed in the course of the people's democratic participation, and one which cares for this land and its resources. Such development which will free us from the stranglehold of imperialist capital and its dictates. A course of action which can only be executed by the truly patriotic.
-The biggest reform undertaken is that of land. They have distributed lakhs of acres of land among every peasant household. And no one is allowed to keep more land than one can till. Thus doing away with unnecessary hiring of labour in agriculture. Even the Patels who used to oppress people and fleece them through unpaid labour have been allowed to retain land they can manage with their family's labour. No non-tribals are allowed to own land there.
-Women are also given property rights over land.
-They have developed agriculture from the primitive form of shifting every one or two years, to systematic settled farming. They were taught to sow, weed and harvest the crops. They cultivate both their own private lands as well as co-operative fields for community use. The development of agriculture is being done without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
-They have introduced a wide range of vegetables like carrot, radish, brinjal, bitter gourd, okra, tomato etc., which the tribals of remote areas had never seen or tasted.
-They have planted orchards of bananas, citrus fruits, mangoes, guavas etc.
-They have built dams, ponds, and water channels for breeding fish and for the purpose of irrigation. All this has been done through collective labour and the produce is distributed free to every household.
-They have dug wells for safe drinking water. The industrial projects have destroyed underground water resources, and streams have been polluted to such an extent, that the fish and water life have died as also the vegetation around it. Many fruit trees have stopped flowering around these water resources.
-They have set up rice mills in a number of villages. These mills have freed women from the daily pounding of paddy for extracting grain. Many of these mills have been destroyed by Salwa Judum which was launched by the government, which talks so much about development in these areas.
-They have built a health care system which reaches every tribal peasant in every village. Each village has a Medicine Unit which has been trained to identify diseases and distribute medicines to the villagers. The health of the tribals rates only second in priority to the fight against exploitation and oppression.
-The women participate equally in these developmental activities. Special attention is paid to the issue of patriarchy and that is why they come forward equally to defend their rights and lands.
-They run schools. The schools built by the government are completely non-functional and are usually used by the police and paramilitary forces when they raid villages. That is one reason the people pull down these pucca structures which have become symbols of repression.
-They have published books and magazines in the Gondi language. As a result, it is for the first time that this language has found a place in the written world. Songs, articles and anecdotes written by the Gond people are published in the magazines brought out by the movement. These are the initial steps to develop this ancient language which has been neglected, just as the people have been. Though there is no existing script in Gondi, they use devnagri script.
-The remunerative prices for Tendu leaf collection and wages for the cutting of bamboo and timber is fixed by the Maoist movement taking into consideration the interests of the tribals.
-Trade in the movement area goes on without hindrance. The traders are not allowed to cheat the tribals in haat bazaars. The movement announces remunerative prices for the jungle produce and paddy which the traders agree to. The presence of guerrillas ensures fair trade practices. On the other hand, the traders feel happy that there is no danger of theft or robberies in the movement controlled areas and they can move about there, freely.
-They have their own justice system. Peoples Courts are held to settle various disputes among the people, as well as with the oppressors.
-Theft, robbery, cheatings, murders for property and personal gains have vanished.
-Sexual harassment and rape by the forest department, the contractors and the police has become a thing of the past. Now the women walk freely in the jungle whether it is day or night.
-Democratic functioning has been introduced at the village level onwards. The Gram Rajya Committees (now called Revolutionary Peoples Committees) function at the head of various committees like Development Committees which look after agriculture, fish farming, education, village development, Medicine Units etc.
-The women and children have their own organizations in almost every village. The tribal peasants have their separate organization, with units in every village.
-Almost every village has units of People's Militia which take up the responsibility of defense of the village.
-Cultural organizations thrive in these jungles as the tribals have great affinity for cultural activities. These organizations propagate through songs, dances, plays and other art forms, on all the issues whether local, national or international.
-The movement has been able to prevent starvation deaths in its areas....
Bitter with its failure to make the people yield to them, the government has now embarked upon Operation Green Hunt, a military campaign with nearly one lakh personnel. Under various pretexts, the Indian Air Force is weighing its wings to swoop down on the forests, in spite of promises to the contrary by the Prime Minister.
We have been told that Maoists are the biggest internal threat to the country. Who are these Maoists? They are just the people themselves who have taken to the path of resistance, to struggle against the various Indian governments, who one after the other, do not allow them a life of dignity or one of peace. The state is attacking its own people threatening to wipe them out, if they don't vacate the lands they have lived on for centuries. And we know about the term collateral damage – the killing of the civilian population in a war. Salwa Judum killed the people without a declared war, now they intend to kill on a much huger scale. They want to break the back of resistance by killing people. They want to hand over the resource rich lands of the tribals to the greedy foreign capitalist lords. They want to destroy the alternate development what the people have created with their enormous toil and persistent struggles.
Let us think. Let us awake. Let us spread the word. Let us awaken the people everywhere else. Let us raise our voice against injustice. Let us tell the government that it must stop this war against its own people and instead listen to them, respect their aspirations and attend to their demands. This is an unjust war which the government has declared on its own people. It must stop.

END MONOPOLY CAPITALISM
TO ARREST CLIMATE CHANGE
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chairperson, International League of Peoples' Struggle
7 December 2009
Human societies have created the bases of our survival, sustenance and advancement through the use of our natural resources in production with rudimentary tools and rising levels of science and technology. Yet in no time in history has environmental destruction been systematically brought about in most parts of the world.
The people of the world face today global poverty, economic wars and environmental crises. They are confronted by an escalating, more rapacious and vicious campaign of plunder by monopoly capitalism. This aggravates the already devastated and polluted natural environment.
The massive dumping of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere by the operations of monopoly capitalist firms in the energy industries, manufacturing, transportation, industrial agriculture, mining, construction, etc. is now generating climatic changes that are causing massive devastation and loss of human lives around the world.
The unprecedented rise in GHG emissions coincided with the onset of the capitalist system at the industrial revolution and its attendant intensive use of machines, fossil fuels for transportation and energy. The anarchic, wasteful and pollutive capitalist production for profit has put our world into the brink of destruction. Under a system where profit is the primary objective of social production, the environment and our ecosystems are reduced to being a source of raw materials and dumping grounds for wasters.
Plunder and pollution of the environment have made victims of poor communities many times over. These are the same communities that are also the most vulnerable to environmental backlashes, which come in the form of floods, droughts and other occurrences triggered or heightened by the prevailing imbalances in the ecosystem. Women and children shoulder the greater cost of these circumstances because of wider risks to their health, and added complications to their productive and reproductive functions.
The trend of rapid environmental changes both at the global and national level is expected to bring about even more massive devastation and loss of human lives in the future. It is clear from the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, and subsequent studies, that warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea levels.
The increase in global surface temperature has made the past decade and a half the warmest years since the 1850s. An increase of 0.75 degrees Celsius in the past century was observed over the world. Rates of sea level increase have leaped from an average of 1.8 mm annually (from 1961) to 3.1 mm/yr (from 1996). The rate of shrinking of ice cover in the Arctic was observed to be 2.7 % per decade, which more than double in summer to 7.4 %. Recently, the Northwest passage was clear throughout the Arctic circle. Increased incidence of intense tropical cyclones and sea level rise has been observed putting coastal areas at risk.
The climate has been altered by changes in greenhouse gases (GHGs), aerosols, land-cover and solar radiation input. It was clear in the Nobel Prize winning report of the IPCC that GHGs have increased due to human activities with an increase of 70% in the last 3 decades. CO2 emissions have increased 80% in the same period.
While global warming has already brought extreme impacts on livelihood and survival, especially on vulnerable communities, "free market" globalization policies have opened up the rest of the world to the unhampered entry, control and exploitation of raw natural resources and of people by monopoly capitalist banks and firms. Atrocious campaigns of wars of aggression have been waged especially by US monopoly capital to expand its economic territory and gain direct or tighter control of land and natural resources.
Systematic and unabated deforestation through rampant industrial logging has multiplied at ever increasing rates. The destruction of the world's forests has also led to the conversion of agricultural plantations for export-oriented crops, farms for cattle raising or monoculture tree plantations. The relentless extraction of mineral ores and wanton destruction by mining multinational corporations (MNCs) in Asia Pacific, Latin America and African countries that are naturally endowed with rich mineral deposits persists while they leave massive environmental destruction and pollution, widespread landlessness and displacement, loss of livelihood, distortion of local culture, and rampant human rights violations to the peoples of these regions in their wake.
Asia, which holds more than half of the world's population, has less than 36% of the world's water resources and almost half of the population in developing countries are exposed to polluted water sources. The contamination of air, water and land brought about by products and production processes mainly from the industrial and manufacturing plants of MNCs continue. These large-scale factories remain the top contributors of significant pollutants such as toxic and hazardous wastes in the world.
More and more underdeveloped countries (including India and China) have also become major dumping grounds for the wastes of industrial countries. The dumping of toxic and hazardous wastes are mounting and alarming. Additionally, chemicals and obsolete technologies proven to be harmful to the environment and/or human health and that are already banned in the industrial countries are continually foisted on underdeveloped countries.
The occupation of Iraq by the US (and the 'Coalition of the Willing') has given the latter direct control over the vast oil resources of Iraq and has consolidated US domination over the world's oil resources. After toppling the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the US has gained more political foothold in Central Asia and South Asia and further access to the oil and gas resources in these parts of the world. The US launched its "second front against terrorism" targeting the Philippines, Indonesia and Southeast Asia-- a region known for its oil, natural gas and other natural resources. It has unceasingly undermined the government of Venezuela, which has the biggest oil resources in Latin America and is continuously expanding its influence in other Latin American countries (Colombia) and several African countries to tap potential oil and other mineral resources.
Foreign direct investments in energy all over the world are increasing and control over these resources are transferred from nations to a few energy companies. Even the technologies needed for the use of alternative energy in solar and wind are limited to industrialized countries. The drive for biofuels has raised concerns over its long term sustainability and actual contribution to climate change. Large tracts of forests have been lost in Brazil, Malaysia and Indonesia due to conversion of forests to oil-palm plantations and more biofuel plantations have been earmarked in other countries like the Philippines.
The recent wars of aggression of the US and its allies have not only increased the production, sale and use weapons of mass destruction but have also caused the massive destruction and contamination of human property, health and environment (i.e. use of depleted uranium, etc.) in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq and other war-ravaged countries. Forest clearings and land conversions necessitated by continued military exercises in different parts of the world led by the US pollute the environment and the destruction of natural habitats. Toxic wastes from current and previous US military bases continue to wreak ecological havoc in the surrounding areas. US military joint exercises bring with them not only direct US military aggression but the dangerous weapons and waste from these activities.
The United States is currently the number one producer of GHGs, emitting more than 28% of all the historical GHGs emitted since 1840 worldwide. About 84% of US GHG emissions arise from the petroleum related energy and electrical power sectors. The US is also the biggest processor and unregulated user of oil and petroleum products all over the world.
Yet the US government has refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty signed by 169 countries which aims to reduce global levels of carbon dioxide and five other GHG emissions by 5.2% from their 1990 levels. It is also the US that remains adamant in refusing to commit to long-term and rapid reductions of emissions in the ongoing negotiations for new commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Copenhagen.
Primary emitter countries such as the US and G8 countries have the principal responsibility to change their production activities and consumption of energy for genuinely sustainable solutions to the ecological crisis. At the same time, they must also bear the cost of reducing GHGs and building the capacity of vulnerable communities in poor countries to withstand climate change impacts which they have caused. Developing countries still require adequate energy and infrastructure for the basic needs and social development of their people, hence, should not be denied genuine sustainable development and must not be forced to carry the burden of meeting carbon emission reduction targets for the world while industrialized countries refuse to do so.
Instead of pursuing comprehensive mitigation of their emissions by engaging in changes in social production, industrialized countries use carbon offset mechanisms and emissions trading projects that offload the burden of carbon mitigation and reduction towards developing countries. These distort development activities in these countries while maintaining the unsustainable patterns of consumption and production activities of industrialized countries. Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) and carbon trading effectively marketize carbon emissions and essentially shuffles around responsibility to curb emissions.
International financial institutions (IFIs) such as the World Bank (WB) and other regional banks are becoming more aggressive in pushing for "free market" and business-friendly false solutions to climate change related problems. Programs such as the Climate Investment Fund of the WB do not differ from their previous so-called development projects that have violated human rights, displaced communities, destroyed the environment and supported militarization in the past. These initiatives of the IFIs also give them leverage to influence the outcome of the UNFCCC negotiations in Copenhagen to provide new opportunities for profit-making by monopoly capitalist firms who want to take advantage of the climate crisis.
These include proposals such as massive geo-engineering solutions that do not address the root cause of the emissions and instead push untested and unproven but potentially profitable technologies without due consideration of their ecological and social consequences. On the other hand, personal and individual reduction of carbon emissions such as shifts to compact fluorescent light bulbs, switching to biodegradable products are mere token responses and short sighted if they are not framed within larger political and economic conditions which have vastly accelerated the rate of global warming. In any case, poor communities would not have the capacity to engage in these actions unless their immediate economic and social problems are first addressed.
Indeed, climate change already aggravates other environmental problems that poor communities have to face as a result of imperialist globalization's ever increasing destruction of our ecology. It is no longer a question that human activity has produced dangerous climate interference but on how to avoid catastrophic effects that could affect more than half of the world's population that are most vulnerable to climate change. Industrialized countries should commit to real targets and not shift the burden to underdeveloped countries. The capacity of local communities to respond to disasters should be strengthened. Community-based disaster response, monitoring and mitigation should be undertaken and livelihood should be provided for those who are vulnerable to climate change impacts.
Great advances have been made in information technology, robotics, genetics, agriculture, and medicine, yet are not being applied towards solving fundamental problems of humankind, such as the breakdown of health systems, famine and hunger, ecological destruction, and social decay and disintegration. Instead, unbridled monopoly capitalist globalization has opened up third world resources for the use of TNCs extracting raw materials while leaving their pollution and emissions to the host communities.
The rapid destruction of the environment is a direct result of the rapid, unchecked appropriation of the world's resources for the benefit of a few. Increased pressure for the quest for wealth places increased pressure on the environment and environmental destruction. The poor, who are most vulnerable, are subjected to these environmental impacts while trying to provide subsistence level production for themselves. Existing environmental and social problems aggravated by global warming will not abate until the plunder of the world for monopoly capital's greed for profits end.
In order to preserve the world's intrinsic and practical value for human development, we need to fundamentally reorient production and consumption based on human needs rather than for the boundless accumulation of profit for a few. Society must take collective control of productive resources to meet the needs of sustainable social development and avoid overproduction, overconsumption and overexploitation of people and the environment which are inevitable under the prevailing monopoly capitalist system .
We have seen how communities throughout the world have remain resolute and determined to struggle for their rights and defend their natural resources because it is not only their present but also their future at stake. The oppressed peoples and nations are more determined than ever before to wage revolutionary struggles for national liberation and democracy and look forward to this socialist future. As the imperialist powers scrambling to preserve global capitalism, we, the people, must struggle harder and be more effective in waging militant anti-imperialist struggles for greater freedom, democracy, social justice, development, ecological sustainability, solidarity and peace.
To arrest climate change, we need to put an end to this systematic plunder of the environment for the superprofits of corporations in industrialized countries. To arrest climate change, we need to organize and defend our future against this parasitic and moribund system. To arrest climate change, we need to end monopoly capital's dominance over our lives and build a socialist future.###
From John Bellamy Foster, Marx's Ecology in Historical Perspective, Monthly Review.
MARX ON ECOLOGY
Marx's concept of the metabolic rift is the core element of this ecological critique. The human labour process itself is defined in /Capital/ as 'the universal condition for the metabolic interaction between man and nature, the everlasting nature-imposed condition of human existence'.^10 <http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#10> It follows that the rift in this metabolism means nothing less than the undermining of the 'everlasting nature-imposed condition of human existence'. Further there is the question of the sustainability of the earth--ie the extent to which it is to be passed on to future generations in a condition equal or better than in the present. As Marx wrote:
/From the standpoint of a higher socio-economic formation, the
private property of particular individuals in the earth will
appear just as absurd as private property of one man in other men.
Even an entire society, a nation, or all simultaneously existing
societies taken together, are not owners of the earth. They are
simply its possessors, its beneficiaries, and have to bequeath it
in an improved state to succeeding generations as *boni patres
familias* /[good heads of the household].^11
<http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#11>
The issue of sustainability, for Marx, went beyond what capitalist society, with its constant intensification and enlargement of the metabolic rift between human beings and the earth, could address. Capitalism, he observed, 'creates the material conditions for a new and higher synthesis, a union of agriculture and industry on the basis of the forms that have developed during the period of their antagonistic isolation'. Yet in order to achieve this 'higher synthesis', he argued, it would be necessary for the associated producers in the new society to 'govern the human metabolism with nature in a rational way'--a requirement that raised fundamental and continuing challenges for post-revolutionary society.^12 <http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#12>
In analysing the metabolic rift Marx and Engels did not stop with the soil nutrient cycle, or the town-country relation. They addressed at various points in their work such issues as deforestation, desertification, climate change, the elimination of deer from the forests, the commodification of species, pollution, industrial wastes, toxic contamination, recycling, the exhaustion of coal mines, disease, overpopulation and the evolution (and co-evolution) of species.
After having the power and coherence of Marx's analysis of the metabolic rift impressed on me in this way, I began to wonder how deeply embedded such ecological conceptions were in Marx's thought as a whole. What was there in Marx's background that could explain how he was able to incorporate natural-scientific observations into his analysis so effectively? How did this relate to the concept of the alienation of nature, which along with the alienation of labour was such a pronounced feature of his early work? Most of all, I began to wonder whether the secret to Marx's ecology was to be found in his materialism. Could it be that this materialism was not adequately viewed simply in terms of a materialist conception of /human/ history, but also had to be seen in terms of /natural/ history and the dialectical relation between the two? Or to put it somewhat differently, was Marx's materialist conception of history inseparable from what Engels had termed the 'materialist conception of nature'?^13 <http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#13> Had Marx employed his dialectical method in the analysis of both?
I first became acutely aware of the singular depth of Marx's ecological insights through a study of the Liebig-Marx connection. In 1862 the great German chemist Justus von Liebig published the seventh edition of his pioneering scientific work, /Organic Chemistry in its Application to Agriculture and Physiology/ (first published in 1840). The 1862 edition contained a new, lengthy and, to the British, scandalous introduction. Building upon arguments that he had been developing in the late 1850s, Liebig declared the intensive, or 'high farming', methods of British agriculture to be a 'robbery system', opposed to rational agriculture.^6 <http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#6> They necessitated the transportation over long distances of food and fibre from the country to the city--with no provision for the recirculation of social nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which ended up contributing to urban waste and pollution in the form of human and animal wastes. Whole countries were robbed in this way of the nutrients of their soil. For Liebig this was part of a larger British imperial policy of robbing the soil resources (including bones) of other countries. 'Great Britain', he declared:
/ ...deprives all countries of the conditions of their fertility. It has raked up the battlefields of Leipsic, Waterloo and the Crimea; it has consumed the bones of many generations accumulated in the catacombs of Sicily; and now annually destroys the food for a future generation of three millions and a half of people. Like a vampire it hangs on the breast of Europe, and even the world, sucking its lifeblood without any real necessity or permanent gain for itself./^7 <http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj96/foster.htm#7>
My Republica, December 7, 2009
KATHMANDU — India has agreed to resume non-lethal military aid to Nepal. The aid was in the pipeline before India imposed an embargo in February 2005 following the seizure of power by the then King Gyanendra, local media reported on Monday. "The date of the resumption of non-lethal military assistance is yet to be worked out," a highly placed source told myrepublica.com.
The agreement was reached during the meeting of the Nepal-India Consultative Group on Security Issues. The meeting concluded on Sunday. Nepali Defense Minister Bidya Bhandari, during her official visit to India in August, asked India to resume the stalled assistance.India Resumes Military Ties, Intelligence-Sharing With Nepal
Bloomberg, December 7, 2009
India said it will resume military cooperation with Nepal and train Nepalese security personnel after cutting security ties when former King Gyanendra took power and dissolved the multi-party government in February 2005.
The countries agreed to share intelligence and cooperate on building an airbase for the Nepalese Army in western Nepal, India's state-run broadcaster Doordarshan reported. The agreements came at a three-day secretary level meeting in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, that ended yesterday.
India was one of the main suppliers of military aid, providing helicopters and weapons to help the army fight Maoist rebels. The 10-year insurgency ended in 2006 and the rebel party became a political organization that won most seats in elections last year.
India is Nepal's biggest trading partner, taking 59.2 percent of its exports and providing 55.4 percent of goods imported to the neighboring Himalayan country, according to U.S. government data.
Nepal's government faces widening protests following the resignation in May of Maoist Prime Minister Puspa Kamal Dahal, who quit after the president overturned his decision to fire the army chief for refusing to integrate rebel fighters into the military.
A general strike started Dec. 6 by Maoists forced schools in Kathmandu and other areas to shut and stranded travelers in some areas, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported on its Web site. The Maoists announced the strike after police killed five people and injured dozens while evicting landless squatters in the Dudhejari jungle in the western Kailali District, the BBC reported.
The United Nations Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal said it is looking into excessive use of force during the eviction drive in Dudhejari. Security forces were attacked by those resisting eviction with weapons, including axes, and a police officer was killed, the office said in a statement on its Web site. "We have been monitoring the situation and interacting with actors on the ground to minimize the chances of further violence," said Richard Bennett, representative of OHCHR-Nepal.
He called on the government and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) to "exercise restraint and prevent any incidents, which could further aggravate the fragile situation in the region."
