  • Among the demands that the unions made were the establishment of a national minimum wage, the end of temporary employment (what are called “contract laborers” in India) in favor of permanent jobs, more efforts to curb runaway inflation (the official rate is hovering at around 7.5 percent), guaranteed pensions, and an end to the privatization of publicly owned companies.
  • For the past decade, India has been the darling of the economic pundits globally, with massive growth rates and a burgeoning middle class whose consumptive powers have fuelled the national mythology of “India Shining.” According to current estimates, the Indian economy grew at around 7 percent last year and is projected to grow again at a similar rate in 2012.

  • One of the main problems of Greek politics and culture, quoting from an old comrade that has followed things for the best part of the last 50 years is “institutionalised misery”. No matter how cornered people become, the vast majority of them stop short of doing something about it by moaning and accepting their fate as if it is predetermined from someone or something from high above. Recently I saw on the back door of a toilet a piece of graffiti that reads “All it takes is one wheel to start a revolution - or a fucking backbone”.
