On February 23 1991, Indian Security Forces the twin villages of Kunan Poshpora, located in Kashmir’s Kupwara district, to conduct a search operation after being fired on by militants. Once inside the village, the male residents were taken away from their homes, while the forces searched the village. It is alleged that the men from the security forces raped the women of the village. It is alleged that more than 100 women were raped by the search party, including a pregnant woman who gave birth to a baby with a fractured arm, and a deaf and dumb girl.
Today, as we mark thirty years since the mass rape, India Against Fascism will post a series of videos, books and articles about the incident that is forever imbibed in the memory of Kashmiris, and serves as a gruesome reminder of human rights violations by the Indian Security Forces in the state.

Grading is a Scam (and Motivation is a Myth) | A Professor Explains
Grading is a scam and motivation is a myth. Those sound like bold words, but today we're going to dive down the rabbit hole and prove, once and for all, that our current state of schooling (and of...well..._everything_) is rotten to its core.
...that's all…

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

“Politics is policy. What policy should you follow in view of the idea that there isn’t enough to go around — the power of the few, or the needs of the many? Political economy is based on misassumptions at the time of Thomas Malthus, when the British Empire was formed after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, when the British gained dominance of all the world’s lines of supply. At that time, the data showed that humanity was increasing its numbers at a geometrical rate and increasing its life support at only an arithmetical rate, so that the majority of humans would have to go through life in great want and pain, because there was not enough to go around. That’s the basis of all politics: it has to be you or me, there’s not enough for both of us. Survival of the fittest.
“But we can do so much now, with so little, that we can take care of everybody. That’s why the idea of scarcity is all wrong. Up to now, the world of politics doesn’t know that. That’s why all nations are dependent on armaments, why we have the arms race. People can’t see the invisible doing more with less. The politicians still say that it’s you or me, and that’s why they go for the gun.”
