Academia: Hands Off Revolutionary Philosophy!
By Andre Vltchek
http://www.countercurrents.
The great thoughts of Fanon and Sartre, of Gramsci and Mao, Guevara and Galeano should be gently washed, undusted and exhibited again, free of all those choking ‘analyses’ and comparisons compiled by toxic pro-establishment thinkers. There is nothing to add to the writing of maverick revolutionary philosophers. Hands off their work! Let them speak! Editions without prefaces and introductions, please! The greatest works of philosophy were written with heart, blood and passion! No interpretation is needed. Even a child can understand
The Many Lessons On Nation And Constitution From Seditious JNU And A Search For The Outsider
By Mithilesh Kumar
http://www.countercurrents.
Politics is war by other means or so Foucault suggested in a reversal of the doctrine of Clausewitz. The war by the state that was unleashed on students all over the country was brought inside the gates of JNU. The state has now taken three prisoners-of-war from the university. The mainstream opposition has united in a show of solidarity that is high on octane and low on effectivity. Few disruptions, more theatrics and the status quo continues. It will be a waste of words to critique them. However, now that we have reached a position in the battle where we can review what we have lost, what we have won and what could still be ours. This article is one very small step in that direction

We are a group of faculty, staff, and students at IIMB, Bengaluru, shocked at the recent turn of events at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Jingoism and xenophobia masquerading as patriotism have sought to crush universities as pivotal sites of critical reason, argument, debate, and especially dissent.
