Kandhamal: A Shame To Secular Polity Of India
By Binu Mathew

http://www.countercurrents.org/mathew290815.htm

Kandhamal is described as the Kashmir of Odisha. It is one of the most beautiful places in India I ever visited. With rolling hills and forests interspersed with lush green paddy fields, flowing rivulets and ponds and a cool breeze blowing Kandhamal is a beholders delight. I may call it a paradise on earth! Beneath all this beauty there is turbulence, fear and a paralysing anxiety that grip the people living in this so called 'paradise'. For the Christian minorities who belong mostly to Adivasi and Dalit communities Kandhamal is a living hell


Casualties Of "Fortress Europe": Refugees Dead On Land And Sea
By Marianne Arens and Patrick Martin

http://www.countercurrents.org/martin290815.htm

The death toll among desperate refugees fleeing war zones in the Middle East and Africa continues to mount, with horrifying scenes that go beyond anything seen in Europe since World War II. The vast majority of these refugees are seeking to escape violence unleashed on their homes and families by the imperialist powers, above all the United States, with its accomplices including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands


An Operator's Guide To Trump's Racism
By Mateo Pimentel

http://www.countercurrents.org/pimentel290815.htm

This brief "operator's guide" highlights a few parallels between Trump, the 2016 United States presidential hopeful, and other outspoken racist figures of America's past. Hopefully, this short and largely incomplete survey will elucidate some of the historical underpinnings of Trump's current bigoted agenda. Readers will note that, as with many race-related social ills today, Trump's racist and xenophobic agenda clearly bears much in common with the all too often bigoted American past

North Dakota has become the first state to approve government use of drones equipped with "less than lethal weapons", including "rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas, sound cannons, and Tasers"


Lebanon – What If It Fell?
By Andre Vltchek

http://www.countercurrents.org/vltchek290815.htm

Beirut is burning; it is hurt, angry and uncertain about its own future. A Revolution? A rebellion? Who are those men, stripped from their waist up, muscular, throwing stones at the security forces in the center of Beirut? Are they genuine revolutionaries? Are they there in order to reclaim so badly discredited "Arab Spring"? Or did they come here in a show of force, because the West is paying them? If the Lebanese state collapses, ISIL could move in, and occupy at least a substantial part of Lebanon. That would suit the West's interests, and those of Turkey, as well as the Gulf States


The Sexual Politics of Meat: 25 Years Later
By Mickey Z. Interviews Carol J. Adams

http://www.countercurrents.org/adams290815.htm

In her 1990 classic, The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol J. Adams introduced the concept of "the absent referent," e.g. behind every meal of meat is an absence: the death of the animal whose place the meat takes


Tackling The IS Tentacles In India
By Sazzad Hussain

http://www.countercurrents.org/hussain290815.htm

The publicity of the IS through the social media is the reason behind the reported incidents of Indian Muslim youths joining that dreaded terror group operating in Syria and Iraq. The Indians are now following their European, Australian and American counterparts to join the outfit, mostly because of it glorification and romanticization in the social media. Thus it is important that the Indian state should initiate some measures to reverse this dangerous trend. Promoting the pluralistic character of the nation and Sufism in a great way could be one step in tackling this prevailing trend
