it is in the light of these inequalities of caste, class, ethncity, religion etc that one has to position debates on consensul touch and non penetrative sex in india. Liberal feminists may say it is expression of sexual rights, but is it when upper castes routinely sexually exploit dalit adolescent girls and tirbal girls, majorities the girls of minorities, profit oriented mfis tell poor women sell your daughters body and pay back the loan, employers of domestic workrs exploit adolescnet girls whom they employ. Let us claim back socialist feminism from its margins. Ranjani Murthy, chennai

For women there is similarly an agenda spelt out by the Ram Sena among other Senas and organizations , even as the women of their own families are globe trotters with access to what is prohibited for the rest of the women . For the minorities bomb blasts , torture and social segregation and discrimination to divert political issues. For those like Dr.Binayak Sen who exhibit solidarity on the ground with the disinherited of society life imprisonment or assassination like Shahid Azmi the lawyer from Mumbai who represented innocent Muslims who were framed up and was killed as per official reports " by the patriotic section of the underworld ." For centuries no one except the twice born were entitled to read ,to control society more effectively to accumulate surpluses from the labour of the so called untouchable , so now except the children of the upper classes/castes the rest are not entitled to nutrition does not matter what Dr.Ambedkar's Constitution of India says . This is a method of controlling and dominating society to extract surplus or tribute from other classes/castes .How can you enforce this unless you establish that the minorities, the Dalits , the tribal people , the peasantry , the unorganized workers are all INFERIOR to better usurp their labour , resources and land . Why is anyone surprised after two decades of a sustained hate campaign against the downtrodden all over the country and the steady genocide against the tribal people being deprived of means of economic sustenance . Activists are arrested for keeping books on Dr.Karl Marx , Lenin the leader of the first socialist revolution who supported the Indian Freedom Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and of Mao Tse Tung and for downloading radical essays on the internet.However the play in justification of Godse's assassination of Gandhi runs to packed houses and article and programs of hate against minorities appears daily in several newspapers as they have immunity . The country shows all the signs of fascist propaganda and administration in many regions apart from criminilisation of society where even honest officials are no longer safe and propaganda through the media often conceal more than they reveal . Swami Asimananda's confessions should be read carefully .

In the very first paragraph the Madhya Pradesh Commissioner for Protection of Child Rights has made such a derogratory statement, saying that a brahmin priest should be asked to check the horoscopes of children and nutrition should be provided to only those children whose horoscopes tell that they will become good citizens. Although this comes from a conversation between the Commissioner and an activist, and there is nothing in writing given by the Commissioner, are we just going to remain silent about this?
