Pakistan Has Expanded Minority Protections. Now Comes the Harder Test
by Saima Afzal
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/pakistan-has-expanded-minority-protections-now-comes-the-harder-test/
Pakistan has strengthened its legal and institutional framework for protecting religious minorities, including constitutional safeguards, political representation, employment quotas, religious education and the National Commission for Minorities Rights Act, 2025. Yet the effectiveness of these measures depends on implementation. Reports of mob violence, forced conversions, desecration of places of worship and blasphemy-related prosecutions continue to raise concerns. This article examines the gap between formal protections and their application at the local level, where police, courts, schools and district administrations shape citizens’ everyday experience. It considers how stronger accountability, transparent data and effective institutions could make minority protections more consistent across Pakistan.
| 2 | Swatantra Bharadwaj: The Foot Soldier When Useful, the Outsider When Not
by T Navin
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/swatantra-bharadwaj-the-foot-soldier-when-useful-the-outsider-when-not/
The arrest of Swatantra Bharadwaj, a young Hindutva influencer accused in cases involving violence and provocative conduct, raises broader questions about the political culture that enables such figures to gain visibility and influence. His story illustrates how aggression, online abuse and ideological confrontation can become sources of recognition and social capital. The article examines how informal political networks can benefit from aggressive activists while maintaining distance when their actions become a liability. It also considers how young people may be drawn into a culture where hatred is presented as loyalty, intimidation as courage and violence as ideological service, creating conditions for the emergence of more foot soldiers. | 4 |
| 3 | Killing Happiness!
by Ismail Al Sharif
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/killing-happiness/
In Gaza, the simple act of flying a kite has become entangled with the realities of war. Ismail Al Sharif examines the reported killing of a four-year-old child following an Israeli strike and threats against areas where kites are seen. The article places these incidents alongside the erosion of civilian life, the destruction of essential infrastructure, and the continuing psychological impact of violence on children. It also considers how media framing can shape perceptions of such events, and how restrictions on ordinary childhood activities reflect the broader conditions facing Gaza’s population. The piece documents the loss of safety, dignity, and childhood amid prolonged conflict. | 5 |
| 4 | France, UK, and Canada Among 12 European Countries to Ban Products From Israeli Settlements in Occupied West Bank
by Quds News Network
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/france-uk-and-canada-among-12-european-countries-to-ban-products-from-israeli-settlements-in-occupied-west-bank/
France, the UK, Canada and nine other European countries are moving toward bans on products made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The initiative follows growing concern over settlement expansion, settler violence and Israel’s E1 settlement project, which could divide the West Bank. France said the measures were being pursued nationally because European Union-wide action has not secured sufficient support. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden are also participating. The details and implementation timelines remain to be finalized. The move represents a shift from diplomatic criticism toward trade measures targeting settlement activity. | 4 |
| 5 | How Restoration Efforts Helped Marinette County Recover Its Forests, Streams, and Future
by Dave Rollo
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/how-restoration-efforts-helped-marinette-county-recover-its-forests-streams-and-future/
Marinette County, Wisconsin, has spent more than a century recovering from extensive logging, wildfire, industrial pollution, and habitat loss. Through the creation of public forests, reforestation, pollution controls, contaminated-site cleanup, and sustained conservation efforts, much of the county’s forests, wetlands, and waterways have recovered. Today, more than three-quarters of its land is forested, while many streams are classified as Outstanding or Exceptional. The article traces this environmental recovery and examines the pressures that remain, including deer over-browsing and expanding development. It also considers Indigenous stewardship practices as potential models for protecting ecological integrity and supporting a sustainable, steady-state future. | 4 |
| 6 | On the life of Wendell Berry
by Tara Ann Thieke
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/on-the-life-of-wendell-berry/
Wendell Berry, who died on August 31, 2026, leaves behind a body of work shaped by attention, simplicity, faith, stewardship, and love of the natural world. Tara Ann Thieke reflects on Berry’s life as a farmer, writer, husband, father, and grandfather, and on the influence his essays, fiction, poetry, and reflections had on her own understanding of how to live. She recalls discovering his work in 2010 and later hearing him speak in Kentucky. Berry’s commitment to quiet, truthful, responsible living offered an alternative to a culture increasingly shaped by speed, consumption, and institutional power. | 4 |
| 7 | The magic of hot composting
by Brian Kaller
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/the-magic-of-hot-composting/
Hot composting offers a faster way to turn household and garden waste into useful soil. Also known as Berkeley composting, the method relies on heat-generating aerobic bacteria, supported by a careful balance of carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. With proper preparation and regular turning, a compost pile can reach temperatures high enough to destroy weed seeds and many plant diseases, while processing organic waste in weeks rather than months. Brian Kaller explains the principles behind hot composting, the materials and ratios involved, temperature management, and possible uses for the heat generated. The method also offers practical benefits for reducing household waste and fossil-fuel use. | 4 |
| 8 | The Indian Reality: A Crisis of Jobs, Not Just Skills
by Dr Vipin Negi
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/the-indian-reality-a-crisis-of-jobs-not-just-skills/
India’s employment crisis is increasingly visible among educated youth. Despite relatively low overall unemployment, graduate joblessness remains high, particularly among young women, while millions of young people are outside education, employment, or training. This article examines whether India’s employment challenge is being misdiagnosed as primarily a skills gap. It argues that shortcomings in education and training are real, but they do not fully explain the concentration of unemployment among graduates. The deeper issue is limited creation of quality, formal jobs capable of absorbing an expanding educated workforce. Skill-development programmes can improve employability, but sustained employment growth also requires stronger labour demand and broader structural transformation. | 5 |
| 9 | The Roof Fell. No Heads Did: Delhi’s Selective Accountability After Satya Niketan
by Nihar Nalini Sarangi
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/the-roof-fell-no-heads-did-delhis-selective-accountability-after-satya-niketan/
The Satya Niketan building collapse in Delhi killed seven people, including five Delhi University students, after a structure undergoing renovation gave way. The immediate response has included an FIR, arrests, suspensions of five MCD officials, a court-ordered inquiry and safety audits of paying-guest accommodation. But questions remain about accountability at senior levels and the wider failure to provide safe, affordable student housing. With Delhi University serving more than 2.5 lakh students and hostel capacity far below demand, many students depend on private PG accommodation. This article examines the collapse, the official response and the gaps in institutional responsibility. | 4 |
| 10 | Leo Tolstoy and the Modern World: A Timeless Message for Humanity
by S Mohan
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/leo-tolstoy-and-the-modern-world-a-timeless-message-for-humanity/
On the birth anniversary of Leo Tolstoy, this article reflects on the continuing relevance of his literary and moral vision. From War and Peace and Anna Karenina to his later writings on compassion, non-violence and social inequality, Tolstoy placed human experience and conscience at the centre of his work. The article considers what his ideas can offer contemporary writers, journalists, filmmakers and digital creators. It examines truth in art, the dignity of ordinary lives, the questioning of power, the limits of technology and the dangers of measuring creativity through popularity alone. Tolstoy’s legacy remains closely connected to compassion, moral responsibility and human dignity. | 6 |
| 11 | ALIFA Condemns Samastha Circular Curtailing Women’s Rights and Demands Its Immediate Withdrawal
by All India Feminist Alliance
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/solidarity-with-women-in-struggle-against-patriarchy-in-kerala/
The All-India Feminist Alliance (ALIFA–NAPM) has condemned a 27 August 2026 circular issued by the Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar faction of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, which restricts women’s participation in public spaces and gatherings alongside men. ALIFA calls for the circular’s immediate withdrawal and assurances that women and girls will not be excluded from stages, processions or programmes on its basis. The statement also highlights opposition from Muslim women, scholars and organizations within Kerala, while criticizing political responses that either defend or selectively exploit the issue. It affirms women’s constitutional rights to equality, dignity, movement and participation in public life. | 8 |
| 12 | Soil, Sheep and Sweat: How Kalawati Ninama Wrote Her Own Story of Self-Reliance
by Vikas Parashram Meshram
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/soil-sheep-and-sweat-how-kalawati-ninama-wrote-her-own-story-of-self-reliance/
In Rajasthan’s Banswara district, Kalawati Ninama has transformed a modest farm and livestock-based livelihood into a more self-reliant household. Through natural farming, livestock care, a nutrition garden, poultry, composting, and biogas, she and her husband have built multiple sources of food, income, energy, and agricultural inputs. Support from Vaagdhara’s community groups helped Kalawati learn new practices, make better use of local resources, and strengthen her family’s livelihood. Her livestock herd has grown substantially, while vegetable cultivation, irrigation, manure, and biogas have reduced household expenses. Today, Kalawati also shares her experience with other women in her village. | 7 |
| 13 | Intolerable “Annual Deaths Per Million Of Population” Expose West-Ignored Gaza Holocaust
by Dr Gideon Polya
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/intolerable-annual-deaths-per-million-of-population-expose-west-ignored-gaza-holocaust/
Dr Gideon Polya examines the use of “deaths per year per million of population” as a comparative measure of mass mortality. The article presents estimates for Gaza during the first two years of the current war alongside figures for Jewish deaths during the Second World War Holocaust. It also compares these figures with deaths from terrorism and preventable mortality in Australia, highlighting differences in political and media attention. Polya argues that the scale of Palestinian mortality has been substantially under-recognized in Western public discourse. The article further discusses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, responses to criticism of Israel, and broader questions of selective recognition of mass suffering. | 7 |
| 14 | Profoundly Egalitarian Society Can Prevent World War and Mitigate Climate Crisis
by Dr Nayvin Gordon
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/profoundly-egalitarian-society-can-prevent-world-war-and-mitigate-climate-crisis/
Dr Nayvin Gordon examines the relationship between profound social equality, political power, war, and the climate crisis. Drawing on the work of Albert Einstein, Christopher Boehm, Douglas Fry, and other researchers, the article argues that concentrated political and economic power enables exploitation, conflict, and environmental destruction. It explores egalitarian societies in which authority is constrained, collective decision-making is strengthened, and social cooperation takes priority over competition and domination. Gordon proposes abolishing systems that generate extreme wealth and poverty, while organizing economic and political life around social and ethical needs. The article presents egalitarianism as a framework for pursuing peace, cooperation, and climate stability. | 7 |
| 15 | Linguistic Federalism and the Politics of Cultural-Democratic Accommodation in Tamil Nadu
by Pon Chandran
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/linguistic-federalism-and-the-politics-of-cultural-democratic-accommodation-in-tamil-nadu/
Language has played a central role in shaping India’s federal politics, particularly in Tamil Nadu. In this article, Pon Chandran examines the evolution of linguistic federalism through the state’s long engagement with questions of Hindi, Tamil and English. The article traces the 1938 agitation, the Constituent Assembly debates, the 1965 language protests, the 1967 amendments to the Official Languages Act and Tamil Nadu’s adoption of the Two-Language Policy in 1968. It also examines later disputes over language in education, administration and public institutions, and considers how Tamil Nadu’s experience has contributed to the wider development of federal accommodation and linguistic pluralism in India. | 4 |
| 16 | Cluster Munitions: A Renewed Global Threat to Civilians and Human Security
by Arab Human Security Network
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/cluster-munitions-a-renewed-global-threat-to-civilians-and-human-security/
The latest Cluster Munition Monitor documents a serious deterioration in the global humanitarian situation surrounding cluster munitions. At least 1,063 people were killed or injured in 2025, with Ukraine accounting for 927 casualties. The report also records renewed use, production and transfers of cluster munitions, alongside Lithuania’s withdrawal from the Convention on Cluster Munitions. At the same time, funding reductions are weakening clearance, risk education and survivor assistance in affected countries. As states prepare for the Third Review Conference in Vientiane, the Arab Human Security Network calls for stronger adherence to the convention, sustained funding, and survivor-centred humanitarian action. | 6 |
| 17 | When the Familiar Vanished
by Dr César Chelala
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/when-the-familiar-vanished/
Dr César Chelala’s “When the Familiar Vanished” is a quiet but deeply unsettling reflection on the erosion of values that once seemed permanent. The poem contrasts childhood assumptions about peace, social justice, and kindness with a present marked by suffering and indifference. Its simple language and short, broken lines reinforce the sense of disorientation conveyed by the title. The recurring image of children’s cries, unheard amid a troubled world, gives the poem its emotional centre. Yet the closing image of children praying for protection and gentleness introduces a restrained hope. The poem ultimately becomes a plea to recover humanity’s lost moral compass. | 6 |
| 18 | Skidding Pacts: An AUKUS Delusion Update
by Dr Binoy Kampmark
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/skidding-pacts-an-aukus-delusion-update/
AUKUS was presented as a long-term strategy to strengthen Australia’s defence capabilities through closer cooperation with the United States and the United Kingdom. In this article, Dr Binoy Kampmark examines the growing difficulties surrounding the pact, including delays in submarine production, questions about the viability of key British projects, rising costs, and Australia’s dependence on its allies. He also assesses Michael Pezzullo’s advocacy of the programme and the broader assumptions underpinning Australia’s defence policy. The article argues that strategic ambition has outpaced practical delivery, while Canberra continues to commit substantial resources to an increasingly uncertain defence arrangement. | 7 |
| 19 | Why Salman Rushdie’s Comparison of the RSS and IRA Fails History
by Bhabani Shankar Nayak
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/why-salman-rushdies-comparison-of-the-rss-and-ira-fails-history/
Salman Rushdie’s comparison of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) is examined through the contrasting histories, ideologies, and political practices of the two organisations. Bhabani Shankar Nayak argues that the IRA emerged from an anti-colonial struggle against British rule, while the RSS developed within the context of Hindu majoritarian politics in colonial and postcolonial India. The article also considers the RSS’s relationship with secularism, religious minorities, capitalism, and Hindutva, alongside Rushdie’s longstanding criticism of religious fundamentalism. It contends that placing the two organisations within the same historical frame risks obscuring their fundamentally different political trajectories and objectives. | 7 |
| 20 | Between Modernity and Postmodernity: The Unfinished Question of Reason
by Dr Salim Nazzal
https://countercurrents.org/2026/09/between-modernity-and-postmodernity-the-unfinished-question-of-reason/
In “Between Modernity and Postmodernity,” Dr Salim Nazzal revisits the relationship between reason, modernity and postmodern thought, reconsidering arguments he explored a decade earlier. The article examines modernity’s achievements alongside its capacity for domination and destruction, and distinguishes critical reason from instrumental rationality. It traces postmodernism’s critique of grand narratives, truth, power and knowledge, while examining the risks of turning skepticism into relativism. Nazzal then considers the continuing relevance of these debates in the Arab world, where modern institutions coexist with traditional political and social ideas. The article concludes by arguing for a critical reason that recognizes its limits without abandoning truth, science, freedom and universal values. | 8 |
