Deadly Protests in Leh-Ladakh Leave Four Dead, Seventy Injured

- Rajesh Tyagi/ 27.9.2025

At the time when liberal media was busy in debating with anxiety and curiosity- if India may ever take to Kathmandu way- GenZ took to thunderous blitzkrieg in Leh.

Leh thus echoed Kathmandu. Or putting it even more precisely, if you like that- Kathmandu knocked at the doors of Leh.

Resultant state violence has left four dead and more than 70 badly injured.

Whatever may be the immediate triggers behind these uprisings, so obvious is that whole of South Asia is simmering with unrest and mass anger is seeking vent everywhere, to burst out.

Opening of the Revolution in South Asia

Rising of the Masses, the Leadership and the Struggle for a Revolutionary Program

- Rajesh Tyagi/ 20.9.2025 

The Spectre of Revolution is haunting South Asia!

The recent surges in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, in quick succession to each other, have left its ruling elite reeling under fear of more violent explosions. 

With concern and anxiety it has noted as to how over such a short time span, South Asia has been jolted by three powerful eruptions- each more violent than the preceding one.

At their target had been the common spectacular enemy- the incumbent government!

Nepal Revolt and the Fight for Socialism in South Asia

 - Rajesh Tyagi/ 16.9.2025

Amidst the clarion calls for a revolution reverberating through all corners in South Asia, Nepal has echoed Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Next to repeat may be India or Pakistan.

Simmering anger in South Asia, from spiralling social inequality and injustice, had exploded, into this full blown revolt of the masses in Nepal.

Soaring prices, rising unemployment and rampant corruption had only added fuel to the fire.

The media censorship ordered by Oli government to suppress the dissent against its misrule, was only the last straw on camel's back.

Historical Origins of Fascism!

-Rajesh Tyagi/ 4.5.2020

Contrary to popular perception, Fascism has it’s origins, neither in Germany nor even in Italy, but in the soil of Russia, where Tsarist reaction reigned at the turn of the last century. Forefather of fascism, thus, is not Benito Mussolini, but the triumvirate of Rasputin- the clergyman in Tsar’s Court, Alexandra- wife of Tsar Nicholas and the Tsar himself!

Before fascism raised it’s ugly head in Italy at the end of the second decade of the last century, it had existed for around two decades in Tsarist Russia as an ultra-nationalist movement of white terror, in support of Monarchy.

Known for their brutality, the ‘black hundreds’, the participants in the reactionary movement, rather preferred to call themselves- the ‘yellow shirts’! Later, Mussolini, would make a hybrid blend of the two -Black Hundreds and Yellow Shirts- into ‘Black Shirts’, covering up the footprints of his movement going back to their Russian origins, heavily discredited by then as anti-worker. Later, preparing a copycat for Germany, Hitler would rename his Nazi Movement as ‘Brown Shirts’!

Immigrant poor become worst sufferers as corona crisis is compounded by the lockdown!

- Anurag Pathak/ 3.4.2020

The Coronavirus pandemic has clasped the world entirely with the European nations and the USA being the most affected regions. Thousands of deaths and new cases are being reported every day, which have completely exposed the hoax of ‘robust healthcare’ infrastructure of these developed countries. China, despite being the epicenter of the crisis, has recovered completely but the threat of the pandemic continues to haunt most of the Asian countries, particularly the poor nations of South Asia. India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka are probably going to be the worst hit. Given their inability to control the virus from the spread, the governments of these countries have resorted to barbarous clampdown upon the poor. Myriad workers and other vulnerable groups have lost their livelihood and are now in the middle of a drowning island. Facing the double brunt- the menace of Coronavirus at one hand and the hatred of the government at other- are the immigrant poor and refugees, virtually men and women with no land.

The clash between workers and the police at Surat is only first spark of coming revolts!

- Anurag Pathak/ 2.4.2020

Gujarat Police has arrested over 90 migrant workers in Surat for defying the lockdown orders, in force since 25 March. The incident happened last Sunday, 29 March, when over 500 workers took to the streets in Ganesh Nagar and Tirupati Nagar areas of the city demanding arrangement of transportation facilities to reach their respective home towns. 

30 vehicles were torched and several workers and policemen were injured in the clash after police used force to disperse the crowd of agitating but unarmed workers. 

Both the localities of Ganesh Nagar and Tirupati Nagar which comes in Pandesara region of the Surat city are hubs of migrant workers working in different powerlooms and textile manufacturing units. Most of them belong to the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. More than 500 such workers gathered on 25 March amidst the fear created by the loss of livelihood and being far away from their families in such a situation.
