Analysis: The Indian election result

BJP and Modi brought down to earth by an unconvinced electorate. Harpal Brar Subscribe to our  channel Not all the intimidation, suppression and dirty tricks the governing party employed during the recent Indian election, nor all the fairy tales told by the corporate media, were enough to persuade Indian voters that all is well with the BJP. The seven-phase multi-week election in India ended on 2 June. Of the one billion people registered to vote, 642 million actually did so. From the relatively small states like Uttarakhand to the huge provinces such as UP (Uttar Pradesh – which has more registered voters than the entire population of Pakistan), all participated in this electoral exercise. Stunning shock to the BJP The results were declared on 4 June and came ...

Change in Bangladesh Perplexes India

Posted by: John Phoenix VT Foreign Policy Writer: Asif Haroon Raja The student uprising against the quota system in Dhaka in July 2024 morphed into a countrywide protest movement within weeks and led to the departure of Hasina Wajid. Since the sudden regime change, the Indian political and military leaders, Indian media, academia and RAW are in a state of acute anxiety, bordering depression. India has suffered two major strategic setbacks this year. The first was BJP’s loss of political power in the June 2024 elections. A bigger jolt came in August when the strongest and most trusted ally Bangladesh (BD) went out of India’s hands because of the sudden fall and exit of Hasina Wajid. She had ruled BD with an iron hand from 2009 to the first week of Aug this year at a stretch...

G20 Aesthetics: Modi’s Brutal Delhi Facelift

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: Prime Minister’s Office – GODL-India Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi really wanted to make an impression for his guests and dignitaries, and coarse realities would simply not do. The occasion of the G20 summit presented him with a chance to give the city an aggressive touch-up, touching up a good number of its residents along the way, not to mention the city’s animal life as well. As for those remaining nasties, these could be dressed up, covered, and ignored. Elements of the Potemkin Village formulae – give the impression the peasants are well-fed, for instance – could be used when needed. One Delhi resident, Saroaj Devi, informed The Guardian about the sharp treatment meted out to him and those living in pove...

India: An Assassination Scandal Threatens India’s Relations With The Five Eyes

Posted by: John Phoenix by: John P. Ruehl John P. Ruehl – Source: Independent Media Institute 01-26-2024 ~ A burgeoning relationship between India and a select group of English-speaking allies has been held back by various disagreements and historical realities. It will be further tested by assassination scandals that have emerged in recent months.

Subsequently, in November, it came to light that U.S. authorities were investigating an assassination attempt against another Sikh separatist figure on U.S. soil. While India vehementl...

The Ethnic Violence In Manipur, India, Explained

Posted by: John Phoenix The ethnoreligious violence in the Indian state of Manipur between Meiteis and Kukis has been ongoing since May, but it was only in July 2023 when a video went viral in India showing two women being paraded naked that the world began to pay attention to the situation in earnest. One of the women was reportedly sexually assaulted after the conclusion of the video. Calls for accountability came from all quarters, including the Indian Supreme Court, and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was forced to break his conspicuous silence on the conflict in the northeastern state. The majority of the conflict has been dominated by Meitei mobs, who are mostly Hindus, attacking the predo...
