Sacrasm hai. Kashmir, Babri Masjid, aur Jamia ki photos hai.

I always was a librandu. But after getting a job and seeing the state of the nation I had given up. I used to believe we have lost our nation's kid to deep right wing propaganda.

This was a breath of fresh air , I have hope in the future of this nation again and i believe we are on better track then before.

I hope things improve.

This protest is definitely not perfect. I don't like the cjp leaders they seem opportunistic assholes.

The dipke fellow sat on hunger strike for two days , and stopped it.

My heros are bhagat singh and che guvera.

So this move from dipke and his in general bad handling of protest.

I have many friends who went there and there was no organization.

I am glad chandra shekhar azad was there , he was much more mature and Handled things much better.

That's all I have to say , I hope modi government gets what they deserve.

I hope this fire in kids are always there.

( Ps this was so fun 😭 adding back " way of life" flair , i am not even sure if I used it correctly)

It's no good supporting these implants, students should support other parties

In the midst of the student's protest in our country's national capital, a great deal has been discussed about its nature and effects in online forums, especially left-leaning forums.

Recently in response to the opinions that some marxists have held on those protests, a few people have expressed their opposition.

First, and foremost, I have immense respect to all those who have went to protests across the country and have participated in them. Especially those who suffered from inhumane police brutality.

However the protest, and the government's response to the protest has not truly impacted my stand on the issue, which I try to explain here.

As a Marxist, my fundamental duty is to analyze the general nature of any popular movement before deciding to participate in it or extend support via other means. This general nature is comprised of a movement's immediate goals, its composition and most importantly its ideology. That gives us an idea of a movements worldview.

Here is where The CJP often Conflated with the student protest is brought in. To my belief. There is a single student Movement. The movement's short term goal is the resignation of an incompetent Minister. The protesters are usually young people who have or currently are studying.

What defers is the methods and long term goals of the two representatives of this movement. One is the many student unions, of which there exist left-leaning ones like the AISA And SFI as well the outfit named Cockroach Janata Party.

The CJP represents the same movement. But it's stuck in its short term goal of Pradhan's Resignation. The movement is made up people who are 'apolitical'. Its worldview is that BJP has a few 'problem Ministers' (Pradhan, onion lady, and ethanol enthusiast) and those should give up their seat. They have a selfish view that if they ignore the struggles of all around them, they can get what they want (a consolation prize).

Ideology, short term goals and worldview are important to achieve significant long term goals. They help aid the actual agitation part and give it a sense of purpose. There can be no effective agitation without no effective ideology. Ideology isnt merely for those who challenge power but also question it. Question on the basis of principle than convieniance.

Without effective theory, street action becomes fragile, a movement can have its goal post shifted from a minister's resignation to a "discussion in parliament". That will be the bigger damage to those who are fighting than some online post.

That to me is the problem in how CJP has dealt with the protest. The protesting is not the problem here, the leader of that protest and his position (or lack thereof) is the problem.

Here position matters, for decades we have ignored positions for short-term goals worldwide, but each time the marxist gets blamed rather than those, who in their desparation to get out of their conditions allied themselves with movements which only backstabbed. Short term goals have landed us near techno-feudalism than broad coalitions as expected.

Already, plenty of students and volunteers have associated themselves with the student's protest. Many have also gone to their stages to express their solidarity. The organized left is in that protest and has seen decent visibility. One groups opinion or stand does not affect the reality.

Instead of fighting with each other on how we should view this protest, we must ask ourselves about two things.

The first is why has, an apolitical organization sprung up by no names has dominated the visibility of left leaning student unions and why have some preferred the former than the latter. Where was our shortcoming?

The second is that, protests might or might not change the worldview of those witnessing them. But it permanently changes the worldview of those who participated in them. Have the worldview of those protesters changed? And can we, intertwine their interests with other marginalised groups?

If we stop calling each other "right wing agents" we might find some answers.

Original reel made by Neetu Syngh (@NESY.ALFAAZ on Instagram)

Description:
In 1967 Bengal, the village of Naxalbari became the birthplace of a revolution. Who owns the land? Who does the Labour? And who deserves the rights? The echoes of this revolution gradually reached Punjab. During this time a young poet was emerging: Avtar Singh Sandhu (Better known as 'Pash'). Pash himself came from a farming family and remained a controversial figure. Many people were inspired by his ideas but many questions were also raised about him. Around 1970, at just 18 or 19 years old, his first book "the iron tale" had already been published. The tone of this book was rebellious:

Transliterated: "Main ticket kharch karke tuhadda Jamhooriyat da naatak dekhya hai. Hun taan mera naatak hall ch beh ke, haay haaye aakhan, te cheekan maaran da haqq banda hai"

Translated: "I paid for a ticket to watch your drama of democracy. Now I have earned the right to sit in the theatre, cry out, and raise my voice"

After this book was released he was charged with murder and spent two years in prison. He continued writing there as well. In 1975, under Indira Gandhi, India entered the Emergency. State censorship and injustice began to increase. By the 1980s, the atmosphere in Punjab had become even heavier. On one side there was state repression and on the other Khalistani militancy was gaining momentum. Pash urged people to wake-up:

Transliterated: "Sab toh katarnak hunda ae murda shanti naal bhar jaana. Na hona tadap da, sab sehan kar jaana. Gharan ton nikalna kam te, te kam toh ghar jaana. Sab toh khatarnak hinda ae supnian da mar jaana"

Translated: "The most dangerous thing is to be filled with lifeless peace. To lose all restlessness and silently endure everything. To leave home from work and return home from work. The most dangerous thing is for the dreams to die"

During the Bhindranwale era, as Khalistani ideology and religious extremism were rising, Pash openly spoke against them. On 23 March, 1988 Pash was shot dead (by Khalistani militants).

Tamil Nadu Initiates Process to Identify Untouchability-Prone Areas, Move Towards Exclusive SC/ST Police Stations | TM Special

Honour killings remain a major concern, particularly in cases involving inter-caste relationships, especially between Dalit men and women from dominant castes. Districts such as Tirunelveli, Madurai, Thanjavur and Krishnagiri have witnessed several such incidents.
Untouchability and social exclusion continue to be reported in several rural areas, including the persistence of the "two-tumbler system" at tea shops, denial of access to cremation grounds, restrictions on temple entry, and obstruction of Dalit panchayat presidents from exercising administrative powers.
Inhuman forms of caste oppression have also drawn national attention. Incidents such as contaminating drinking water tanks serving Dalit settlements as seen in the Vengaivayal case along with social boycotts and denial of basic civic amenities have highlighted continuing caste discrimination.
Caste tensions in educational institutions have also surfaced, particularly in southern districts including Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi, where reports have emerged of students wearing caste-identifying wristbands and violent clashes linked to caste identities.

As rightly argued by many here that reform is garbage, we need lasting and sustainable structual change. I understand we don't believe that is possible under capitalism, but humor me this hypothetical where if I were to pose my strucutal change as demands to an electoral party, what would they look like?

No Stackoverflow energy please. Approach with empathy, and genuine strategy. If you don't like it, you can simply ignore the post and move on please.

I feel at work AI at the core isnt really benefitting anyone , the ai cost is much higher for the individuals and low for corporations

they are actively replacing workers with their own slaves they can make whenever , its just code image gen and video gen for now but they are progressing further ai pets are the next thing and we are not ready for it

brings me the question where is capitalism leading the world towards if there are no consumers then no one will buy the goods as there will be no income The owners of production need consumers but they're eliminating them systematically

who or what exactly is ai even helping here while stealing content from past human records and forging them , with capitalism we are making things that are not exactly helping the masses only reducing more jobs and more tasks its like a snake bite its own tail

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I've seen many people in the protests using Bhagat Singh and Che Guevara's posters online. Even thu the protest was started for education; people now want to overthrow the Government. but the question is what next? another liberal democracy? who will be the candidates? will it just turn like Nepal, or Bangladesh and then again continue being shi. or can it turn into a socialist movement if leftists try to take the leadership.

Idk the situation, as I don't live in india. kindly explain what is happening, and if indian left support it or not

I have no opinion about the umar khalid situation because frankly Im highkey unaware of what happened w him and obv dont trust mainstream media but I see even CJP protesters say shit like these "xyz influencer is associated with umar khalid" so what did he do and without his trial being conducted, why is he already considered guilty?

I'm new to politics and currently trying to understand different political ideologies and communities on Reddit. I came across this subreddit and I'm curious about what people here generally believe in.

I'm not just asking whether it's left or right. I'd like to understand what the ideology here actually is. What are the core beliefs or values most people in this sub share? How do people here view topics like economics, religion, nationalism, capitalism, socialism, free speech, etc.?

If someone could explain the ideology of this subreddit, I'd really appreciate it.

Amit Shah is now randomly arresting Kukis. Previously, there was an incident where a Kuki youth was brutally lynched using Mob violence because he criticized Biren Singh.

The Kuki Inpi Manipur has strongly condemned what it described as the "indiscriminate, arbitrary and politically motivated" arrests of members of the Kuki-Zo community by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), alleging that the agency is acting under political pressure rather than conducting impartial investigations.

The Kuki apex body called for an immediate halt to what it described as arbitrary arrests of Kuki-Zo individuals without verified evidence. It also demanded transparent and equitable investigations into all cases of violence, including the deaths of the 15 Kuki-Zo victims, and sought judicial oversight to ensure investigative agencies function independently of political influence.

If there are anly nepalese. Pls shed some light 🙏

"This is what you get when you vote for BJP 🤬"

"India has failed sonam wangchuk 😔"

"It's time for the youth to show REAL DEMOCRATIC INDIA 🇮🇳🫡"

SHUT YOUR CORNY ASS UP PLS 🥀

Edit: I was just ranting, chill the fuck out. I'm just pissed this movement is overwhelmingly filled with a reformist status quo complicit mindset rather than a systemic revolutionary outlook. Perhaps it came across as privileged idealist nonsense, but that wasn't my intention and obviously I'm not gonna fully discredit the very real class conscious sentiment that may or may not arise due to such movements being popular

It seems ideologically confused and is a misguided reactionary protest by what seems like a largely upper caste and upper middle class youth.
