by Amit Srivastava Abstract The sectarian politics is known as communal politics in south Asia, particularly in India.

A tribute to those who died in Teharan

Hail Democracy! Long live the democratic rights!!... Down with suppression and dictatorship of fundamentalists! It was largest gathering in last 30 years... to defend the democracy and to oppose the fraud of fundamentalist govt. Despite all threat from government and Khameinei, people were out to defend their rights! But they were attacked by hardliners, fundamentalists and police forces They dint even spare women Many became victim of brutal attacks Many died in defense of democracy. In time of liberty and globalization, such blots on humanity still exists. Let us join hands for our rights to choose the government we want. Let us pay tribute to those who lost their lives for our democratic rights. Let us remember their sacrifice now and forever ! Uphold our struggle against dictatorship, fundamentalism and suppressive regime.

लाल गिरगिटों की काली करतूत.

पाश के लिए सबसे खतरनाक है सपनो का मर जाना. लेकिन गरीबों के सपनों को बेच देना कही ज्यादा ख़तरनाक है. आलम यह है कि पाश और भगत सिंह का नाम बेचने वाले लाल गिरगिटों ने आज कल शोषितों के सपनों को भी बेचना शुरू कर दिया है! बंगाल से छतीसगढ़ और आँध्रप्रदेश से केरल तक खुनी खेल खेलने वाले ये संगठित अपराधी गरीबों को सब्जबाग दिखा कर उनका शोषण करते हैं... गरीबों के हाथो गरीबो को मरवाते है और खुद विचारक बनाने का ढोंग करते हुए... पार्श्व में बैठ कर ऐशो आराम फरमाते हैं!
