[Marxism-Thaxis] INDIA-EU FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
INDIA-EU FREE TRADE AGREEMENT Since 2007 India and the European Union have been engaged in negotiations on Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The agreement is being termed as one that would improve market access for goods and services, substantially increasing the bilateral trade between the two entities. As per the statement of the European parliament the bilateral trade is expected to exceed €70.7 billion by 2010 and €160.6 billion by 2015. The FTA would increase EU exports to India by $17-18 billion while India’s export would increase by around $5 billion. The FTA after it comes into effect would be substantially different from the other FTAs that have been signed till date. The agreement being termed as a new generation FTA that will cover many more areas other than commodity trade like trade in services, investment, intellectual property rights, competition policy, government procurement to name a few. The proposed FTA is going to have a far reaching consequence for both the Indian state as well as for the lives and livelihood of Indian masses. In this context it becomes imperative to understand the various provisions being negotiated in the agreement that are going to directly impact an extremely large segment of the population.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Greece, , The abolition of the last social security right
Greece The abolition of the last social security right http://www.otheraspect.tk On 8th July whatever was left from the so-called “social security” was wiped out. It is a joke, to say the least, to speak of whether the bill was exactly in accordance to the “memorandum” and the demands of the triple occupation of Commission-ECB-IMF, or surpassed them. What is certain is that the essentially semi-colonial position that the country is in after its financial bankruptcy enables imperialists and their underlings to abolish even the most basic rights, which had been established through struggles, since it is the working class and the city and village poor that have been continually paying the destructive policy of those who, by stealing them continually and for years, are now burdening them with all the consequences of their crimes and looting. http://www.otheraspect.tk -- Fraternally, Damodar email:marxistfront(at)yahoo.co.in http://www.otheraspect.tk ___ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis

The Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on May 7, 2010 which also happened to be the last working day of the Budget session.

But due to vociferous opposition it was referred to the parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Technology for recommendation. Though the avowed purpose of this bill is to /“//… define the “liability”, arising out of any nuclear accident, of an individual “operator” – independent of (and unaffiliated with) the Government of India.”/ But even a cursory reading reveals it’s brazenly pro-capitalist anti people bias. The main features of the Bill are: · It defines nuclear incidents and nuclear damage, nuclear fuel, material and nuclear installations, and also operators of nuclear installations. · It lays down who will be liable for nuclear damage, and the financial limit of the liability for a nuclear incident. · It creates authorities who will assess claims and distribute compensation in cases of nuclear damage. It also specifies who can claim compensation for nuclear damage, and how compensation can be claimed and distributed. · It specifies penalties for not complying with the provisions of the Bill, or any directions issued under it. *[*Source*: **PRS Legislative Research (PRS) website]* This government has been propagating that the Nuclear Liability bill would kick-start the process of construction of nuclear reactors thus solving the much needed energy requirement of the “growing India”. The protagonist of Nuclear energy needs to be asked one question, /if nuclear energy is so efficient then why the USA for more than three decades// has not installed new nuclear power reactors! / Is the nuclear energy the panacea for India’s power problem? The statistics reveals a different picture. As of now, the electricity production from nuclear energy stands at 4,120 MW, which is a little less than 3% of the total installed capacity of power plants. Even if we are to add a 100,000 MW in the next 10 years, as the Ministry of Power is assumes, what is the best-case scenario for nuclear power? According a study conducted by the Planning Commission’s entitled Integrated Energy Policy, 2006, it assumes that taking the most optimistic scenario, the electricity production from nuclear plants would be 15,000 MW by 2015 and 29,000 MW by 2021. This would be about 7% of total energy produced. /That too when this highly optimistic figure is met!/ [Read More] http://otheraspect.freewebpage.org/Civilliab_jan1.htm Full text http://www.otheraspect.tk/ -- Fraternally, Damodar email:marxistfront(at)yahoo.co.in http://www.otheraspect.tk ___ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis

[Marxism-Thaxis] Janpaksh: Stop the Corporate Terror Against the Adivasis of Kalingnagar
*Please find below statement from **Janpaksh **(People's Side)* on the recent armed action against the inhabitants of Kalingnagar in Orrisa (India). On April 1st at Jantar Mantar a protest rally is being organised at 11 AM to protest against this action. * Fraternally, Damodar --- * * Statement of Protest by Janpaksh * *Stop the Corporate Terror Against the Adivasis of Kalingnagar* Yesterday (31^st March, 2010) in Kalinga Nagar industrial complex in Orissa's Jajpur district heavily armed para-military force brutally attacked the adivasis who are resisting the construction of 7.5 km road, being constructed for Tata's (the biggest Indian industrial house) upcoming project. The adivasi villages have been razed and houses demolished. In Balligotha village firing on adivasis took place injuring about 15 persons. One of them who is seriously injured has been whisked away by the police. This brutal attack is organized after days of preparation in order to put down the resistance of adivasis against Tata's project which will displace thousands of families. About 25 platoons of police and paramilitary forces have been deployed and the district administration has started construction in Kalinga Nagar industrial area of Common Corridor Road (CCR). The state government has been falsely claiming that the land it wants to acquire is wasteland, while the reality is something diametrically different. This area that has been called as the core zone consists of green hills with rich forests, tribal settlements of more than ten thousand people spread over two gram panchayats, agricultural lands, ancient tanks, grazing fields, village common lands and roads. Twenty per cent of the Project area has quality forest where timber species like Sal, Kuruma, Vandan, Ashan and Piasal, besides Mahula, Kendu are plentily available. The total area of waste land is less than 5 acres on the Northern side. The Orissa government till date has signed nearly 40 MoUs with various industrial houses and groups to set up their plants in Orissa out of which 13 plants are planned in Kalinga Nagar of Jajpur district The government has been equally brutal against the tribal communities gathered at Maikanch and Kashipur in protest against Utkal Alumina Project, whereby three tribals were killed in Maikanch in the recent past. The government has come out openly as the hireling of the exploitative capitalists, at the expense of the poor and the voiceless. It has been brazenly trampling upon the basic right of livelihood of the local population with impunity This is not the first time in Kaling Nagar that the state and its armed forces have proved to be so brazenly vindictive, aligning with the industrialists at the cost of local communities. In the past also it has used its force to silence the resistance of the poor. Four years ago in police firing 14 tribals, including three women, were murdered, on January 2, 2006 while opposing forcible land acquisition by the Tata Steel for its proposed steel project in the area. The same saga is being repeated today. We severely condemn this barbarous attack on adivasis by the police and para-military forces who are acting as a hired mercenary of Tata Steel company and demand that it should immediately stop the construction work of the Common Corridor Road project as it will be built on fertile farm land and the community land of the tribals who are the real owner of this land. We appeal to all the organizations and concerned citizens to raise their voice against the Fascist predatory tendencies of the Govt and express solidarity with the belligerent tribals of Kalinga Nagar.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Howard Zinn: The historian who changed the history
Howard Zinn: The historian who changed the history http://www.cipra.in/paper/HowardZinn.html History since its origin remained in the realm of the ruling elite. It presented, commented and concentrated on a minority gang of monarchs, tyrants, and their tales. It was called objective history. It comfortably and knowingly ignored and omitted the real history of the millions of people, who were oppressed by the ruling class. Howard Zinn challenged this academic establishment by boldly emphasizing that “there is no such thing as impartial history. The chief problem in historical honesty is not outright lie. It is omission or de-emphasis of important data. The definition of important of course depends on one's values.” Zinn decided to choose side; and he chose to take side of the oppressed, exploited and the toiling masses against the bourgeoisie regime. http://www.cipra.in/paper/HowardZinn.html The INTERNET now has a personality.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Further Demonstration Against EU Imperialist Intervention in Higher Education !
Further Demonstration Against EU Imperialist Intervention in Higher Education ! Further Demonstration Against EU Imperialist Intervention in Higher Education ! A very successful protest demonstration took place in Delhi University at the inauguration of the “European Studies Programme Centre”, in theDepartment of Sociology on 28th February. In anticipation of the protest the venue was suddenly changed from the Department of Sociology to the Vice-Chancellor’s Administrative Block. Some one hundred teachers and students protested against this centre being established without the agreement of the concerned department let alone the Academic Council or the Executive Council. Faculty members pointed out how the courses and research programmes were to be changed in the line with the demands of the European Union.

[Marxism-Thaxis] People's Democracy
People's Democracy that came into being in the countries of Eastern Europe and Asia had a tremendous impact on the advancement of Marxist Leninist understanding on the tasks of the revolution in the colonial and dependent countries. As defined in The Textbook of Political Economy: The chief motive forces of the people’s democratic revolution are the working class and the peasantry, under the leadership of the former. During the struggle against fascism in the countries of Central and South-eastern Europe, a national front had been formed which united all the anti-fascist forces, including, besides the working class and the peasantry, the urban petty bourgeoisie and part of the middle bourgeoisie. The revolution eliminated the political rule of the landowners and monopolist bourgeoisie. People’s democratic governments came into being, based on an alliance of the working class and the peasantry. The foundations of a State of a new type – the People’s Democratic Republic – were laid down. Together with the Communist and Workers’ Parties, in a number of countries the petty bourgeois and bourgeois parties who had joined the national front of struggle against fascism participated in the government and machinery of State.
