Ambani and Adani are not the only people standing

Ambani and Adani are not the only people standing to gain millions while killing the livelihood of farmers. Captain and Badal also have contributed to this exploitation for decades. If the people of Panjab don’t realize this now, then only God can save Panjab.

On 26th November 2020, farmers from the states of

On 26th November 2020, farmers from the states of Punjab and Haryana set off to Delhi to protest against three unjust agriculture bills. The bills were forced through Indian Parliament without consulting the very citizens that would be directly affected by the supposed ‘reforms’. All three bills have attracted global attention and have been widely criticised by expert policy-makers for being anti-farmer and pro-corporation.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Through December, tens of thousands more farmers and activists encircled India’s capital city, blocking highways with their tractor trolleys. They were met with brute force, water cannons and tear gas from police. What’s clear is that the farmers will not relent until the bills are repealed.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In under 50 days, the farmers have set up community-funded townships with populations in the hundreds of thousands, as at January 2021. There are free schools, libraries, medical centres, kitchens (langar), toilets, showers, prayer areas, main stages, laundry services, sports courts, open-air cinemas, sanitation, fumigation, maps and signposts, massages for the elderly who are sleeping in near-freezing temperatures and more. The amenities are not luxurious and conditions are by no means comfortable but they have been set up for people that have been abandoned by their government.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I take faith in there being independent journalists, photographers, film-makers and creative artists on the ground, that will capture the true stories of this time for history books to come.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
“inquilab” means revolution.⠀

Farmers Protest and Use of UAPA With more than ni

Farmers Protest and Use of UAPA

With more than nine formal rounds of talks between the farmers unions and Centre the issue of farmers is unresolved and no where close to any resolution. The nature and magnanimity of the farmers protests around the borders of Delhi and in almost all states of India has alarmed those in power. From the use of Apex Court to divert the issue to the campaigns used by media with the blessings of government, everything seems to have fallen flat on its face.

Farmers marched to Delhi on 26th November demolishing the barricades on their way, farmers have since then been battling relentless cold, fog, water cannons, media propaganda, vilification campaigns and unwavering attitude of the government. Union Govt in SC hearing argued that there is foreign funding of the farmers protest by one ‘Sikhs for Justice’. Sikhs for Justice or SFJ as it is called is a banned organisation that govt believes is adding fuel to the protests. Surprisingly few hours after the govt argument in the SC, private media channels that sing the praises of govt ran click bait news on how the protests have been hijacked. After the ninth round of the meetings, a series of NIA notices to various supporters of the farmers agitation surfaced. The most prominent among them are those of singer and activist Deep Sidhu. His brother Mandeep Sidhu has also been sent a notice. In addition to many people numbering around 30 and expected to increase, many farmer leaders also received the notice. Farmer leader Baldev Singh Sirsa received the notice from NIA demanding him to be present at the NIA headquarters on 17/01/2021. The notices were also sent to some NGO’s supporting the farmers agitation. Surprisingly this is not the first time that people with different views and affiliations are targeted with the UAPA threat or notices.

Yesterday Maaghi Jorh Mela started at Sri Mukatsar

Yesterday Maaghi Jorh Mela started at Sri Mukatsar Sahib.

For Sikhs it is a community gathering to commemorate martyrdom of forty Sikhs (Chali Mukte) who once had deserted the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh at Anandpur Sahib, but later rejoined the Guru and died while fighting the Mughal Empire army led by Wazir Khan in 1705. Sikhs make a pilgrimage to the site of the war, and take a dip in the sacred water tanks of Muktsar.

A fair (mela) is held at Muktsar Sahib every year and called the Mela Maghi is held in memory of the forty Sikh martyrs. Before this tradition started to commemorate the Sikh martyrs who gave their lives to protect the tenth Guru, the festival was observed and mentioned by Guru Amar Das, the third Guru.

Also this post is for those that still are not able to raise awareness of the farmers protest. For whatever reason some feel uncomfortable with real life issues and maybe social media along with other media is your escape from such seriousness. Hopefully by sharing this more people will come to see the recent content on this page regarding the ongoing struggle✌

On December 28, two days before leaders of the far

On December 28, two days before leaders of the farmers protesting for the new farm laws to be repealed were set to meet the Narendra Modi regime’s ministers to discuss their demands, Narendra Singh Tomar tweeted out a letter in support of the new laws. It was from Rashtriya Yuva Vahini, the agricultural minister said. To hammer home the point of publicising it Tomar appended to his tweet the hashtag “FarmersWithModi”.

Tomar went on to share 12 such letters that his ministry had received from leaders of “farmer organisations” at a function in Delhi that day. They all supported the Modi government’s position that the three new farm laws, enacted without much parliamentary scrutiny, would reform the agriculture sector for better and benefit farmers across the country.

Most farmer unions don’t buy this, arguing that the laws are designed to corporatise agriculture which will benefit private businesses at their cost. They are protesting for the new laws to be repealed, but the government is flatly refusing to do so. Several rounds of talks between farmer unions and the Modi government’s representatives have failed to resolve the deadlock.

So, why have the leaders of a dozen “farmer groups” whose letters Tomar has touted broken with the farmer community to back the Modi government on the new laws?

Probably because many of them have nothing to do with agriculture or farmers. A few of them don’t even represent their own groups, let alone farmers. Newslaundry also found that the leaders of at least five of the 12 groups are with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

BREAKING NEWS: Bhupinder Mann opts out of SC appoi

BREAKING NEWS: Bhupinder Mann opts out of SC appointed committee.

Bhupinder Mann had faced strong criticism from farmers on his appointment. This is another blow for the government in an attempt to muster false support for their farm bills.

Today he released a statement -

"Press statement

While I am thankful to Hon'ble Supreme Court of India for nominating me in the 4 member committee to start dialogue with Kisan Unions on the three laws brought in by the Central Government.

As a farmer myself and a Union leader, in view of the prevailing sentiments and apprehensions amongst the farm unions and the public in general, I am ready to sacrifice any position offered or given to me so as to not compromise the interests of Punjab and farmers of the country, I am recusing myself from the Committee and I will always stand with my farmers and Punjab.

Bhupinder Singh Mann

14.1.2021"

What will the government do next?

Khichdi and Dahi at Singhu. Happy Makar Sankrati.

Khichdi and Dahi at Singhu.
Happy Makar Sankrati.
Today’s Maghi mela in Muktsar.

Makar Sankranti (or Pongal) is celebrated in parts of the Indian subcontinent by Hindus, and is always on the first day of the month of Magha in Bikrami calendar. On Maghi, when the sun takes its northern journey on entering the sign of Makara or Capricorn, the Hindus bathe in the Ganges or if that is not possible, in some other river, rivulet, canal or pond. It follows the festival of Lohri in north India, particularly popular in the Panjab region.

For Sikhs it is a community gathering to commemorate martyrdom of forty Sikhs (Chali Mukte) who once had deserted the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh at Anandpur Sahib, but later rejoined the Guru and died while fighting the Mughal Empire army led by Wazir Khan in 1705. Sikhs make a pilgrimage to the site of the war, and take a dip in the sacred water tanks of Muktsar.

It’s not a shock that a really close acquaintance of Capt Amrinder (Bhupinder Singh Mann) was chosen to be on the Supreme Court committee. It’s all a hoax, these people plan everything out to fool the public, but we are well aware of the governments, central or state, corrupt intentions.

This artwork dedicated to our Farmers on this fest

This artwork dedicated to our Farmers on this festival Lohri of Panjab. Farmers have been celebrating this Lohri festival in their homes for centuries but this festival is celebrating them on the cold roads of Delhi Just because of those 3 black laws of the government.

In this artwork I have shown how farmers have celebrated this festival by burning these black laws. The farmers are celebrating this happy festival with anger and sorrow today because the flames of this festival include the screamed flames of more than 70 of those martyred farmers. The government should repeal these black laws now. Kisan Mazdoor Ekta Zindabad, Kisani Zindabad, Lohri with farmers.

ਕਿਸਾਨ ਸਦੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਇਸ ਲੋਹੜੀ ਦੇ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਨੁ ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਮਨਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਪਰ ਅੱਜ ਇਹ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਕਿਸਾਨ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦੇ 3 ਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਕਰਕੇ ਹੀ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਠੰਡੀਆਂ ਸੜਕਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਮਨਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਕਲਾਕਾਰੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੈਂ ਇਹ ਦਰਸਾਇਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਿਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਸਾਨ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਾਲੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਾੜ ਕੇ ਇਸ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਨਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ. ਕਿਸਾਨ ਅੱਜ ਇਸ ਖੁਸ਼ਹਾਲ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਅਤੇ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਨਾਲ ਮਨਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇਸ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਲਪਟਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ 70 ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਹੋਏ ਕਿਸਾਨਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਚੀਖਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਲਾਟਾਂ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹਨ। ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਹੁਣ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਾਲੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰੱਦ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕਿਸਾਨ ਮਜ਼ਦੂਰ ਏਕਤਾ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ, ਕਿਸਾਨੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਾਬਾਦ, ਲੋਹੜੀ ਕਿਸਾਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ

After eight rounds of failed talks between Centre

After eight rounds of failed talks between Centre and the Farmers unions under the consortium of Sayunkt Kisan Morcha, the Supreme Court of India took a decision to put the three farm laws on hold. The decision of Supreme Court is seen by many as a measure to break the deadlock while the vast majority of protesting farmers see it as a mere eye wash.

Extrajudicial killings: India’s long history of

Extrajudicial killings: India’s long history of “fake encounters”

Unfortunately, extrajudicial killings are not new to India. They have been used in the past by the police and security forces in varying contexts – to quell insurgencies such as in the states of Bengal in the 1960s, and in Panjab in the 1980s. Currently, the guise for many of these killings relates to national security offences including terrorism, and in areas of active conflict, such as in Kashmir, states in the North East of India including Manipur, as well as areas of central India affected by the Maoist insurgency.

Particularly troubling aspect is the way these crimes are valorised in popular culture and by the media. Police with such serious allegations against them are termed “encounter specialists”, and many have been awarded medals as well as financial rewards. So rather than prosecution and punishment, there appears institutional and popular support for these killings.

Ultimately, to curb this rampant criminal practice there needs to be a concerted effort on multiple fronts – the legal, institutional as well as societal. International pressure, is an important step in adding to pressure for change.

Release Shree Brar and drop all charges against him. The charges are baseless and hold no ground. It’s time we speak up before the illegal detention becomes like that of Jaggi Johal. Please understand that there is an entire machinery that will demonise Brar & make even sane voices silent.

What the Indian Supreme Court's decision today mea

What the Indian Supreme Court's decision today means:

Role of The Supreme Court:
The SC does NOT make the laws. It's job is to ensure that any laws/action taken by the Govt. is in accordance with the constitution of India etc.

It said today that:
• It will NOT interfere with the protestor rights to peaceful protest and will not 'move' them. The protestors can stay if they like (as such form of protest and 'rights' are contained within India's Constitution).

• The SC said that it was unhappy with how the govt of India was handling the protests. People are dying out in the cold and committing suicide and the govt has 'blood on it's hands'.

• The SC does not consider the govt to have done enough regarding negotiations.

• The SC considers a formal committee needs to be made.

• The SC has asked the Govt to 'stay' the farm laws (put them on 'hold') whilst negotiations/talks continue. The SC has said it does not understand why the govt has not done so already.

• The SC will have a further hearing tomorrow regarding the matter and has asked that the govt considers the 'stay' of the farm laws prior to tomorrow's hearing.

Best outcome for the farmers:
The Farm Laws are put on hold negotiations / talks continue Farmers stay where they are.

That avoids any kind of collusion attempt by the SC and government to move the farmers and then not allow them back (although, the SC has NOT said the farmers should go home/be moved).
