It has been a pleasure to write for India Currents which, in some ways, tries to steer away from the usual kind of celebratory reportage and opinion you rightly mention. Thanks, too, for the reference to Patwadhan's film - I look forward to learning more about it.<br /><br />Good wishes,<br />the nightchild<br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Nightchild-Nexus/268307139905234the nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-77164898201468802422013-08-06T01:28:04.125-07:002013-08-06T01:28:04.125-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.the nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-52759704405530950442013-08-05T18:22:27.783-07:002013-08-05T18:22:27.783-07:00I agree all states sanction violence against the m...I agree all states sanction violence against the marginalised, what impressed me was that your articel was in India Currents. Generally magazines for Indian migrants do carry very positive articles about the US, hence my comment. Have you seen Anand Patwardhan's "Jai Bhim Comrade"? If not do see it.<br />Regards,<br />Bindu Desai BTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164440153582844334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-29845473578366320682013-08-05T06:43:58.469-07:002013-08-05T06:43:58.469-07:00Hi, BTD,
Thanks for reading and commenting - much...Hi, BTD,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting - much appreciated. Yes, as you seek to point out through the article you posted, the pervasiveness of policing is often aimed at monitoring people of colour in the United States - 'social control' as the piece puts it.<br /><br />In response to your other comment, I would suggest that my criticism is more against the ongoing vilification of minorities, and it is the same stance I would have regardless of whether I was speaking of the States or India, for that matter. Both (and other 'democratic' nations) are just as guilty of state-sanctioned violence against the marginalised.<br /><br />Good wishes,<br />the nightchild<br />https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Nightchild-Nexus/268307139905234the nightchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988373964849228270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095149788843462035.post-19827848048280391382013-08-04T20:43:25.869-07:002013-08-04T20:43:25.869-07:00Wonderful piece, you might find this stattistic qu...Wonderful piece, you might find this stattistic quoted in the following article of interest:Cockburn,AlexanderandJeffreySt.Clair(2013)19-21July/www.counterpunch.org/2013/0http:/7/19/the-real-purpose-of-the-drug-war/ <br />It is refreshing to read a piecefrom somone from India that does not merely sing praises about America!BTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164440153582844334noreply@blogger.com
