In the defence of the language of dissent
by Aditya Vikram Singh
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/in-the-defence-of-the-language-of-dissent/
Aditya Vikram Singh examines the place of social sciences and humanities in a world shaped by neoliberal capitalism and an intense focus on productivity, growth and individualism. The article argues that social sciences provide a language for questioning social structures, power relations and dominant ideas of development. It contrasts their emphasis on collectivity and socially shaped identities with neoliberalism’s tendency to individualise suffering and promote meritocracy. Drawing on Guy Debord’s concept of spectacle and Slavoj Žižek’s observation about the language of unfreedom, the article considers how dissent can be weakened when alternative ways of understanding society are marginalised.
| 2 | Bulldozers, Mosques and the Rule of Law: What the 2,166 Figure Reveals About Muslim Religious Sites in India
by Mohd Ziyaullah Khan
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/bulldozers-mosques-and-the-rule-of-law-what-the-2166-figure-reveals-about-muslim-religious-sites-in-india/
A Millat Times investigation documents at least 2,166 reported instances, physical structures or aggregate figures involving Muslim religious and community sites between 2020 and 2026, while cautioning that the number is not a definitive count of separate demolitions. The article examines demolition and eviction drives in several states, including Uttarakhand, Gujarat and Delhi, and considers disputes over land, encroachment, notice and due process. It also examines the Supreme Court’s November 2024 ruling establishing procedural safeguards against arbitrary demolitions. The central issue is whether laws governing religious properties are applied consistently, transparently and with equal constitutional protections across communities. | 1 |
| 3 | The Grammar of Revolution, Bureaucracy and Fascism: From Lenin-Rosa-Trotsky-Stalin to Mussolini-Hitler-Tito-Assad and India
by Uttan Bandyopadhyay
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/the-grammar-of-revolution-bureaucracy-and-fascism-from-lenin-rosa-trotsky-stalin-to-mussolini-hitler-tito-assad-and-india/
This essay examines three major ruptures in the history of the Left: Lenin’s dispute with Rosa Luxemburg over party organisation and democracy; the conflict between Trotsky’s Permanent Revolution and Stalin’s Socialism in One Country; and the distinction between socialism and fascism. It brings Gramsci’s concept of hegemony into the discussion of bureaucracy, consent and political power. The essay then examines Mussolini and Hitler as historical forms of fascism, while distinguishing Tito’s socialist Yugoslavia and Assad’s Ba’athist authoritarianism from classical fascism. Finally, it applies eight proposed markers of fascism to contemporary India, including ultra-nationalism, palingenesis, political violence, one-party aspirations and dictatorship. | 3 |
| 4 | International Day of Nonviolence in a Nuclear World: Enduring Gandhi’s Message
by Advocate Sudhakar Shunmugam
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/international-day-of-nonviolence-in-a-nuclear-world-enduring-gandhis-message/
On the International Day of Nonviolence, Advocate Sudhakar Shunmugam reflects on Gandhi’s enduring message in an age of nuclear weapons, drones and long-range missiles. Gandhi transformed nonviolence from a moral principle into a method of mass political action, demonstrating that resistance need not depend on violence. The article examines the logic of nuclear deterrence, the risks of miscalculation, and the growing distance between those who make decisions about warfare and those who suffer its consequences. It argues that diplomacy, mediation, arms control, confidence-building and early-warning systems are essential tools of prevention, and that genuine strength also requires the restraint necessary to prevent destruction. | 2 |
| 5 | Lawless Lands: Trump Preaches at the United Nations
by Dr Binoy Kampmark
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/lawless-lands-trump-preaches-at-the-united-nations/
Dr Binoy Kampmark examines Donald Trump’s September 22 address to the United Nations General Assembly and its implications for international law. The article focuses on Trump’s threats toward Iran, claims about resolving wars, statements on Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico and Greenland, and his attacks on the UN, human rights institutions and the International Criminal Court. It also discusses his position on artificial intelligence and his rejection of global regulation. Kampmark argues that the address reflects a broader detachment from international law, national sovereignty and institutional restraints, while questioning the willingness of US allies to challenge policies that undermine the existing international order. | 1 |
| 6 | Gandhi’s Ideas of Justice, Non-Violence, Truth and Peace: Inspiring India
by Syed Mohammad Raghib
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/gandhis-ideas-of-justice-non-violence-truth-and-peace-inspiring-india/
Gandhi’s ideas of justice, non-violence, truth and peace were closely connected to his political and ethical vision. His understanding of justice linked human dignity with social equality, economic responsibility and the welfare of all. Non-violence, for Gandhi, meant resisting injustice without hatred or physical violence. His commitment to truth shaped his concept of Satyagraha and his approach to public life. He viewed peace as requiring justice, reconciliation and social harmony, not merely the absence of war. The article examines these ideas, Gandhi’s vision of a plural India, and their continuing relevance to democracy, citizenship, social responsibility and inclusive development. | 2 |
| 7 | Gyanesh Kumar has got to go!
by M A Baby
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/gyanesh-kumar-has-got-to-go/
CPI (M) General Secretary, M A Baby argues that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar should resign over concerns about the functioning of the Election Commission and the handling of electoral rolls. The article calls for the removal and prosecution of Kumar, an end to the Special Intensive Revision process, and the restoration of eligible voters whose names were removed from the rolls. It also demands a transparent mechanism for appointing the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners, along the lines proposed by the Supreme Court’s 2023 Constitution Bench. Baby calls for political parties, civil society, writers, artists and public intellectuals to join the movement. | 2 |
| 8 | German Natural Gas Politics – Profits or Ingenuity
by Thomas Klikauer
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/german-natural-gas-politics-profits-or-ingenuity/
Germany’s energy transition is facing a debate over whether new gas-fired power plants are necessary to secure electricity supplies. A study by the Wuppertal Institute argues that Germany can meet future energy needs through greater efficiency, demand-side flexibility, batteries, flexible electrolysis, heat pumps, biogas, geothermal power and other renewable options. The study questions the need for the scale of new gas capacity being considered by the government. Greenpeace has also proposed temporary, voluntary reductions in industrial electricity use during rare prolonged periods of low renewable generation. The article examines the competing approaches to Germany’s energy security, costs and decarbonisation. | 2 |
| 9 | On the Open Society
by Dr Salim Nazzal
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/on-the-open-society/
Dr Salim Nazzal reflects on Karl Popper’s concept of the open society and its emphasis on courage, tolerance, dialogue and the peaceful resolution of social problems. Drawing on Popper’s ideas, he argues that societies must openly acknowledge tensions rather than conceal them behind reassuring language. He discusses the limits of tolerance when violence threatens people and institutions, while stressing the importance of lawful democratic processes. The experience of Rwanda is cited as an example of dialogue, reconciliation and institutional reform after civil war and genocide. Nazzal also examines Sunni-Shiite tensions and argues that frank social dialogue is necessary to confront hatred, suspicion and exclusion. | 4 |
| 10 | AIKMS Conference in Khammam Highlights Struggles for Land, Forest, Livelihood and Democratic Rights
by Harsh Thakor
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/aikms-conference-in-khammam-highlights-struggles-for-land-forest-livelihood-and-democratic-rights/
The Fourth National Conference of the All-India Kisan Mazdoor Sabha (AIKMS) was held in Khammam, Telangana, with 351 delegates from 11 states participating. The conference brought together peasants, agricultural workers and tribal communities and addressed issues including land, forests, livelihoods, rural distress, corporate intervention and agrarian struggles. Speakers discussed the marginalisation of rural communities, caste and class inequalities, displacement and the need for stronger peasant and workers’ organisations. The conference adopted 17 resolutions covering agricultural policy, land rights, Forest Rights, water, debt, MSP, corporate intervention, repression and other issues. | 5 |
| 11 | Beberg Baloch: The Anatomy of a Twofold Resistance
by Baloch Siddik Azad
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/beberg-baloch-the-anatomy-of-a-twofold-resistance/
Beberg Baloch’s political activism began as a student organizer with BSO-Azad, advocating for the political, cultural and human rights of Baloch youth. He was abducted and tortured during his student years. On 2 March 2010, a grenade attack in Khuzdar permanently damaged his spinal cord, leaving him dependent on a wheelchair. He later became a central organizer of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, participating in marches, sit-ins and human-rights campaigns. On 20 March 2025, he was forcibly disappeared again. The article traces his life through two periods of political resistance, physical violence, imprisonment and continuing activism for dignity, justice and political rights. | 4 |
| 12 | SIR versus CEC: (Mis)Behaviour of BJP & Congress
by Dr Madabhushi Sridhar Acharyulu
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/sir-versus-cec-misbehaviour-of-bjp-congress/
Dr Madabhushi Sridhar Acharyulu examines the contrasting positions of the BJP and Congress on the independence and functioning of the Election Commission. He recalls the BJP-led NDA’s 2006 campaign concerning Election Commissioner Navin Chawla, when it submitted a memorandum signed by 205 MPs and pursued parliamentary, presidential and judicial avenues. The article compares that episode with current concerns about the Election Commission’s procedures, electoral databases, statutory powers and internal decision-making. It argues that political parties should apply consistent constitutional standards whether in government or opposition. The author calls for transparency, disclosure, technical audits, parliamentary scrutiny and clear legal authority for electoral actions. | 4 |
| 13 | Boxing Art
by Edward Curtin
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/boxing-art/
In “Boxing Art,” Edward Curtin reflects on boxing, literature, war, sport, and the meaning of fighting. He begins with the mystery of literary form and turns to Gene Tunney, the former heavyweight champion whose life combined boxing with a love of Shakespeare and poetry. Curtin recalls Tunney’s victories over Jack Dempsey and a chance encounter with Dempsey decades later. He also considers Bob Dylan’s “Hurricane,” the violence surrounding sport and war, and the ways athletic competition can divert attention from deeper questions of life, death, politics, fear, and loss. The essay ultimately connects fighting with resistance, endurance, and the struggle to find meaning. | 4 |
| 14 | While Gaza Dominates the UN, These Are the People Keeping It Alive
by Dr Ramzy Baroud
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/while-gaza-dominates-the-un-these-are-the-people-keeping-it-alive/
Dr. Munir al-Bursh lost his daughter in an Israeli attack in 2023. In September 2026, his eldest son, Basir, was killed in another Israeli strike in Gaza. Yet al-Bursh continues to warn about the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system. More than 1,700 healthcare workers have been killed since 2023, according to the World Health Organization, amid hundreds of attacks on healthcare. As world leaders spoke about Gaza at the UN General Assembly in New York, Palestinians continued to face displacement, inadequate shelter, shortages of water and medical supplies, and ongoing attacks. The gap between international statements and Gaza’s reality remains stark. | 5 |
| 15 | New Report Reveals What India’s MPs Asked (and What They Didn’t) on Climate, A Decade After Paris Agreement
Press Release
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/new-report-reveals-what-indias-mps-asked-and-what-they-didnt-on-climate-a-decade-after-paris-agreement/
A new report examining a decade of parliamentary questions and debates since the 2015 Paris Agreement finds that climate change has remained a relatively small part of India’s national legislative agenda. Of more than 8,700 climate-related questions and debates examined, 3.3% of parliamentary questions concerned climate change. Clean Energy and Decarbonisation accounted for 37.7% of the discussion, while Climate Finance accounted for just 0.3% and Global Climate Governance 1.3%. The research also highlights gaps in adaptation funding, climate-related data, disaster management and implementation, alongside differences between ruling and opposition MPs in the issues they raise. | 6 |
| 16 | If Gandhi were alive today, how would he have reacted to the present social, religious, economic, political and communal scenario
by SR Darapuri
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/if-gandhi-were-alive-today-how-would-he-have-reacted-to-the-present-social-religious-economic-political-and-communal-scenario/
SR Darapuri examines how Gandhi’s principles of ahimsa, satya, sarvodaya, self-reliance and Hindu-Muslim unity might have shaped his response to present-day India. The article considers social inequality, caste, religion, economic growth, consumerism, political polarization and communal tensions through Gandhi’s documented ideas and actions. It argues that he would likely have been troubled by majoritarian coercion, politicized religion, violence, concentrated economic power and the erosion of social trust, while acknowledging gains in education, legal equality, poverty reduction, technology and democratic institutions. The article stresses that any attempt to claim Gandhi for a contemporary political side risks projecting present-day positions onto his complex and evolving thought. | 5 |
| 17 | Gandhi, Nehru and the Continuing Relevance of His Ideas
by Dr Suresh Khairnar
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/gandhi-nehru-and-the-continuing-relevance-of-his-ideas/
Dr. Suresh Khairnar reflects on Mahatma Gandhi’s relationship with Jawaharlal Nehru, the ideological differences between them, and Gandhi’s decision to name Nehru as his political successor. The article examines Gandhi’s satyagraha, his approach to revolutionary violence, and his efforts against communal conflict. It also connects Gandhi’s ideas on development, non-violence and parliamentary politics with contemporary concerns about global warming, language, federalism and political polarisation. The article discusses the rise of the RSS, Gandhi’s approach to language and communication, and the continuing relevance of his principles of purity of means, fearlessness and freedom from enmity in addressing India’s present challenges. | 7 |
| 18 | Nearly 1,000 Days Buried Under the Rubble: Palestinians to Bury 105 Bodies Killed in Israel’s Genocide
by Quds News Network
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/nearly-1000-days-buried-under-the-rubble-palestinians-to-bury-105-bodies-killed-in-israels-genocide/
Palestinians are preparing to bury the remains of 105 people killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City on October 25, 2023. The strikes involved at least 20 bombs that destroyed the seven-story Al Taj 3 building and several other residential buildings in the Yarmouk Square neighbourhood. The victims’ remains remained beneath the rubble for nearly 1,000 days and were only recently recovered. Civil defence teams said they had been unable to reach the bodies at the time because heavy machinery needed for rescue operations was directly and deliberately targeted. The remains will be buried at Sheikh Radwan cemetery in Gaza City. | 14 |
| 19 | Humour and Non-Violence Are Tools of Gen Z’s Resistance Against Authoritarian Power
by Shubhojit Sinha
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/humour-and-non-violence-are-tools-of-gen-zs-resistance-against-authoritarian-power/
Across recent youth movements in Morocco, Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, Nepal and India, humour, music, dance and satire have emerged alongside non-violent protest. Shubhojit Sinha examines how Gen Z activists use ridicule, gestures and social media to challenge repression, expose inequality and confront authoritarian power without responding to violence with violence. The article looks at the Gen-Z 212 movement in Morocco, protests in Kenya, anti-corruption uprisings in Peru and the Philippines, and youth mobilisation in Nepal and India. It also connects contemporary forms of resistance with Gandhian non-violence and the wider possibilities of building more inclusive, democratic societies | 10 |
| 20 | Corporatization of Healthcare Undermines Public Health
by Dr Arun Mitra
https://countercurrents.org/2026/10/corporatization-of-healthcare-undermines-public-health/
India’s healthcare system has undergone a major transformation, with corporate hospitals and private investment playing an increasingly important role. Dr Arun Mitra examines how the shift from public provision towards market-driven healthcare has affected affordability, access, professional autonomy and the doctor-patient relationship. He also looks at the concentration of hospital infrastructure in urban areas, the rising cost of private treatment, and the parallel privatization of medical education. The article argues for renewed public engagement with healthcare and highlights a recent symposium in New Delhi that brought medical professionals and economists together to discuss advocacy, networking and the goal of health for all. | 11 |
