The Central Executive Committee of the Students Federation of India has made an appeal to the students community to check the attack on the democratic movement under the guise of the debate on the decision of the CPIM on the President's elections.

Neo Liberalism attacks all corners of life. Not just it makes the condition of the people miserable to the loot of capital, it excruciatingly targets all the domains of peoples livelihood, then how can the places where they live be an exception. Below I narrate the experience of forming a new organisation in the urban centres and the issues confronting the people at large.

 The Students Federation of India once again has repeated history by winning the students union elections in Himachal Pradesh University . This has been probably the 20th time that they have been elected in all the four office bearers. But this year the victory has been unprecedented following the huge margins of victory for all the office bearers plus the Sfi could win 42 of the total 44 Departmental representatives. Vijender mehra the state secretary of SFI explains how and under what challenges they have combated the saffron brigade in the university and other colleges of the state.

A tribute to Faiz Sahib

An apple a day keeps the doctor away!  This is the famous couplet made to enhance the immunity of the human being. But the state that produces the largest quantity of apples in the country is facing the severest of the crisis , thanks to the neo liberal policies and the inept administration of the BJP government. 

 It is shocking to say that the UPA-2 government is vigorously pursuing its agenda of neo liberalism by keeping the people of the country unaware of the deals it is signing under the Free Trade Agreements with European Union and Israel. Though the successive  WTO meetings have failed to reach a conclusion as far as trade barriers are concerned following a stiff resistance by the developing countries, still the Indian state has taken the bilateral method of clinching many such deals . Quite interestingly , the WTO with all its imperialist agendas still had transparency in the multilateral agreements being pursued. But here we have a situation where except the government no one knows the fallout of FTAs in the country. It is only with some materials being published in Europe and elsewhere that we come to know the seriousness of the situation.  In this regard a round table conference was held in Delhi with four peasant organisations and some individuals in the organisation. The following  resolution was passed.

 A debate in the Left circles is continuing since the neo liberal era over the methodology of fight against this offensive, especially amongst the peasantry . The article below tries to explain one of the view point.

"What will I do with these loads of stones, I don't require them"

These are the words of Pratap Singh Kairon former chief minister of unified Punjab with reference to Kangra , Kullu and such other places, while the state of HP was being carved out.1(On Yashwant parmar by Hem Chand Sharma).¹ He would have never imagined that the stones to which he was pointing out would become one of the famous destinations of the world.
