From Exodus to Marvel: A Brief History of Hollywood’s Justification of Israeli War Crimes
by Dr Ramzy Baroud
The introduction of an Israeli Mossad agent as the latest Marvel movie character crosses the line, even by Hollywood’s poor moral standards. However, the Israeli superhero, Sabra, must be understood within the rational progression of the Israelification of Hollywood, a phenomenon that is surprisingly new.

Russian Holiday; A War Time Travelogue
by Shrikant Modak
An
attempt has been made here to bring flavour of Russia and its people, at a time when the west’s proxy war on it is on the boiling point. Our private trip, which was meant to be in 2020, materialized now after two years of wait due to Covid restrictions on foreign travel. It is more than a month since we returned, but Russia continues to dazzle our memory even now

Towards Understanding Injustice, Inequality, Violence and Social Problems Blocking Human Progress
by Mohammad Momin Khawaja
Look closer and you see the fraudulence. Look even closer and you see what’s real. Your sense of alienation is
entirely valid and based in truth, but we’re not meant to stay there. Truth beckons us forward. Truth is beckoning us all forward. And these mind cages they have built for us aren’t real enough to hold us in for much longer

The Narmada Sardar Sarovar Project – The truth about the dam(ned) delay
by S G Vombatkere
Nobody denies that Sardar Sarovar Project was delayed, but to blame delay on “urban naxals and
anti-development elements” is not merely wrong and unfair, but reflects regrettable ignorance of ground realities. A busy prime minister cannot be expected to know many details, but his staff failing to brief him adequately and correctly may indicate a conspiracy of vested interests spanning previous decades, across predecessor governments and prime ministers, as the following shows.
Starting A Dialogue
by Hiren Gohain
Former EC member SY Qureshi has made the context of the meeting of four eminent Muslims with RSS supremo Mohan Bhagavat clear.The account of the meeting also makes one sigh with some relief that the usual constraint and strain of such exchanges seemed absent in it.Next we hear of Mohan Bhagavat himself visiting the chief of the Council of Imams,and the latter extolling him as the ‘Rashtrapati’. Seems too good to be true,but the reports have not lied.Bhagavatjee has reiterated that there is no
essential ineradicable difference between Hindus and Muslims from the perspective of Hindutva.
Shaheed Hospital, created and nurtured by workers, is an inspiration for people’s movement for health for all
by Bharat Dogra
The Shaheed Hospital in Dalli Rajhara (Chattisgarh) region provides one such highly inspiring example. It is, moreover, a very rare example of a hospital which was actually created, built, expanded by workers, using their own hard labor and meager savings (with some help from other well-wishers). It has been a tremendous effort to maintain the continuity of this hospital’s work during the last four decades. The Shaheed Hospital also provides a very inspiring example of many deeply committed doctors, nurses, medical and other workers who have been serving the hospital with the deepest commitment over the
years.
