Koodamkulam project

 "  They are saying, sacrifices are necessary for development. Our question is that whose sacrifice and who will be developed."""  
  Stop the Koodamkulam project. People's lives are more important than foreign investments. How India, a country which cannot assure the road safety, can be expected to provide a safe nuclear power. We have seen the horrible situation of Japan, a country which is said to be technologically sound, at the time of 2010 Tsunami. After which, many countries like France, started shutting down the nuclear power plants. On what cause they are expecting this (Koodamkulam)  to be stable!

Identity politics and class struggle

Even though its cause and existence are highly justifiable, identity politics has its own limitation. The issues of a high societal women and a low class women are not same. Caste or other social marginalization will be thrown away only when there is a classless society. One should link the identity struggle to a universal class struggle for the revolutionary changes in the system. Capitalism ( which is thought to be against these marginalization) today is in a deep love with the existing feudalism. It found a best way to grow using feudal relationships. So the abolition of both is needed to change the system.
