Ferguson, An International Dateline, A Yearning For Life, A Call To Resist Injustice
 By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury251114.htm

Ferguson is now an international dateline. The name now symbolizes sectarian divide; the name now demystifies democracy in a bourgeois democracy; the name now shows stunned justice; the name now produces protests; and the name now expresses yearning for life and love

 By Srestha Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee251114.htm

Our immediate social existence today tries to reflect that we are part of a more equitable society- where questions of racial, class and caste hierarchy has little relevance. Our treatment of Michaels and Korbans are not a reflection of any bias or discrimination, but a rational act that we are entitled to exercise in the name of civil conduct. And such rationality lets us to choose our moments of protest, moments of silence and procure licenses to kill

Iraq War 4.0?
 By Tom Engelhardt

http://www.countercurrents.org/engelhardt251114.htm

Given the history of this last period, even if the Islamic State were to collapse tomorrow under American pressure, there would likely be worse to come. It might not look like that movement or anything else we've experienced thus far, but it will predictably shock American officials yet again. Whatever it may be, rest assured that there's a solution for it brewing in Washington and you already know what it is. Call it Iraq War 4.0

Menace On The Menu: Development And the Globalization of Servitude
 By Colin Todhunter

http://www.countercurrents.org/todhunter251114.htm

Powerful corporations are shaping 'development' agenda in India and have signed secretive Memorandums of Understanding with the government. The full military backing of the state is on hand to forcibly evict peoples from their land in order to hand over land to mineral hungry extractive and processing industries to fuel a wholly unsustainable model of development. Around the world, this oil-dependent, urban-centric, high energy, high consumption model is stripping the environment bare and negatively impacting the climate and ecology


Crony Capitalism And Failed Sports Morality: A Case Of BCCI
 By Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastava

http://www.countercurrents.org/srivastava251114.htm

The recent speaking of Supreme Court has exposed the real status of cricket management in the country. The game of cricket has been captured and manipulated by the elites. The competition for the top post is due to the prestige and affluence associated with the game. In fact there is clear exposition of crony capitalism which has a special meaning in this management where one group always attempts to benefit the member of his group whether the person holds the capabilities or not. In previous time many got the top positions just because of this factor


When Beauty Is Only Skin Deep: Intensifying Social Inequalities
 Through Rangbedh or Colour Discrimination
 By Shalu Nigam

http://www.countercurrents.org/nigam251114.htm

Inequalities and discrimination based on skin colour or rangbedh is not a new phenomenon rather it is deeply ingrained in mindset across India and throughout the world. Historically, skin colour has been used as a parameter to accord treatment to the individuals either intentionally or inadvertently. And even today, those with fair skin are considered as superior and those with the darker hues are placed at the lower rung of the social hierarchy. This essay examines the colour based prejudices from gender lens, the manner in which this is promoted explicitly and implicitly by the media and the repressive social norms in the neo liberal economy and the impact it makes on daily lives of women in a modern world

Sri Lanka: Mr. President, We Have Your Files Too
 By Nilantha Ilangamuwa

http://www.countercurrents.org/ilangamuwa251114.htm

Do the files on President Rajapaksa and his clan differ in content from the files that he is keeping on others? For one thing the amounts plundered will be unimaginably higher. By announcing the existence of these files on his present and former colleagues President Rajapaksa has truly opened a can of worms. He is not the only person keeping files on others. The public has files on all those who plundered the nation. The public will decide which kick is suitable to whom. This is only a matter of time
