- 15 авг.When the NIA Fails, Who Holds It Accountable? by Arun Srivastava https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/when-the-nia-fails-who-holds-it-accountable/ The acquittal of 78-year-old Mohammed Naeem after a 33-year sedition case highlights the human cost of prolonged criminal proceedings. The article examines concerns over the use of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and stringent laws such as the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against minorities, activists, political opponents and civil society voices. It discusses cases including Bhima Koregaon, Sudha Bharadwaj, Umar Khalid, Shabir Shah and Engineer Rashid, while examining allegations of selective investigation, prolonged incarceration and weak evidence. The article also considers the limited accountability of investigating officers and argues for stronger judicial action to protect fundamental rights and restore public confidence in institutions.0,00%
- 15 авг.Learnings from the Cockroach Uprising for the Indian Environmental Movement by Sagar Dhara https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/learnings-from-the-cockroach-uprising-for-the-indian-environmental-movement/ The recent Cockroach Janata Party-led student mobilisation offers important lessons for India’s environmental movement. Its ability to unite students, civil society groups and political organisations around a common demand, while allowing diverse concerns and approaches, helped sustain pressure and achieve political accountability. The article examines how environmental campaigns often remain fragmented across issues such as biodiversity, pollution, water, climate change and environmental health. It argues that broader coalitions, sustained public pressure and cooperation across organisational and ideological differences are necessary to build greater political influence. The discussion places these lessons in the wider context of climate change, resource depletion, sustainability, equity and environmental justice.0,00%
- 15 авг.Annihilation of Caste Through Class Struggle by Dr Arun Mitra https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/annihilation-of-caste-through-class-struggle/ Dr Arun Mitra examines caste as a deeply rooted system of social and economic inequality and argues that its annihilation requires more than caste-based mobilisation. Drawing on the contributions of Buddhism, the Bhakti movement, Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule, B.R. Ambedkar, Gandhi, Nehru and progressive movements, he traces the long struggle against caste discrimination. The article places particular emphasis on the relationship between caste and economic exploitation, arguing that class solidarity can help weaken the material structures sustaining caste hierarchy. It calls for unity among exploited communities, social reform, scientific consciousness, workers’ organisation and sustained resistance to economic and social inequality.0,00%
- 15 авг.The International Monetary Fund’s Africa Policy is Underdevelopment by Grieve Chelwa and Vijay Prashad https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/the-international-monetary-funds-africa-policy-is-underdevelopment/ The IMF’s approach to Africa places macroeconomic stability at the centre while giving insufficient attention to the productive transformation needed for sustained development. Examining recent IMF assessments of Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia, Grieve Chelwa and Vijay Prashad argue that fiscal consolidation, liberalisation and private-sector-led growth can deepen existing structural weaknesses when domestic productive capacity remains limited. The authors examine high borrowing costs, commodity dependence, weak domestic investment, foreign corporate dominance and the constraints facing small firms. They propose an alternative centred on public investment, debt restructuring, progressive taxation, development finance and industrial policy to build productive capacity, employment and economic sovereignty.0,00%
- 15 авг.Unions and Militarism in Today’s Germany by Thomas Klikauer https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/unions-and-militarism-in-todays-germany/ Germany’s expanding military industry is reshaping its industrial landscape, with civilian factories being converted or acquired for arms production. Thomas Klikauer examines how this shift affects workers, trade unions and works councils, while public spending increasingly prioritises military expenditure over education, healthcare, pensions and infrastructure. The article also explores the legal powers available to German works councils to challenge military conversion and propose alternative civilian production. Drawing on the German Works Constitution Act, Klikauer argues that workers can develop practical alternatives to militarisation through workplace participation, information rights, collective proposals and industrial conversion towards socially useful production0,00%

How Algorithms Are Reshaping Consciousness to Serve Capital by Rezgar Akrawi https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/revolution-or-silent-servitude-how-algorithms-are-reshaping-consciousness-to-serve-capital/ Artificial intelligence is reshaping how people work, communicate, consume information and make decisions. In this article, Rezgar Akrawi examines how algorithmic systems, driven largely by corporate and state interests, can influence consciousness, weaken critical thinking and deepen digital dependence. Drawing on recent research into cognitive offloading, digital addiction and the effects of AI-assisted tools, he connects these developments to broader questions of alienation, labour and capitalist power. The article argues that AI is not inherently destined to reinforce existing inequalities, but that its development requires democratic regulation, international oversight and collective action to ensure technology serves human needs, social justice and equality.0,00%

N. Saibaba. The organisation has criticised the denial of anticipatory bail to two students, the subsequent arrest of Abhirup Paul, and the use of literature, academic fieldwork and alleged slogans as grounds for criminal investigation. PUCL argues that the case raises serious concerns about freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, academic freedom and institutional autonomy. It calls for Paul’s release, protection of the other students from arrest, withdrawal of the complaints and closure of the FIR. The statement urges universities to protect spaces for dissent, inquiry and dialogue.0,00%
- 15 авг.From Marx to Weber and Marcuse: Alienation, Rationalisation and the Continuing Critique of Capitalism by Pon Chandran https://countercurrents.org/2026/08/from-marx-to-weber-and-marcuse-alienation-rationalisation-and-the-continuing-critique-of-capitalism/ Marx’s critique of capitalism developed from his early analysis of alienation to the systematic examination of commodities, value, labour and capital in Capital. This article by Pon Chandran traces that intellectual development and places it alongside Max Weber’s analysis of rationalisation and bureaucracy, before examining Herbert Marcuse and the New Left’s critique of advanced industrial society, consumerism and technological domination. It explores how social relations can become obscured by markets, institutions and technologies, and how human beings may lose control over structures they collectively create. The article also considers the continuing relevance of these ideas to contemporary work, technology, consumption and political agency.0,00%

Bharat Dogra argues that India’s government, opposition parties and social movements should preserve democratic competition while avoiding excessive confrontation and polarization. He highlights the freedom struggle’s emphasis on equality, justice and solidarity, and outlines areas where India can contribute globally: strengthening rural livelihoods alongside climate action, advancing non-violence and peace, and building value-based education. He also calls for a balanced foreign policy, greater cooperation among developing countries, and stronger commitments to humanitarian assistance, peace and environmental protection.0,00%
