NAAC ACCREDITATION IN THE LIGHT OF ACADEMIC INEQUALITY AND MINDLESS DOCUMENTATION

Increased institutions’ fees coupled with diminishing Government investment in Higher Education are further alienating and marginalizing poorer students. Federalism at large is under tremendous onslaught in recent times. The powers and purview of State Governments are getting trampled upon from the Centre and the NAAC process is only another such weapon (along with weapons like NITI Aayog, GST and others) of onslaught designed by the high and mighty sitting at the Centre.

Since the start of this month we have been irregular. One of the senior members of Groundxero collective , Debasish Aich is undergoing treatment at NRS hospital. He is in critical condition.

Our priority at this point of time is to stand beside him and see that he receives proper treatment.

We hope for his quick recovery. We will be back soon.

We are living in times of historical instability. Right-wing fascist forces backed by corporations have seized political power in large parts of the world. The liberal bourgeoisie democracies are evolving into plutocracy, or even worse, into kleptocracy. However, this process is being challenged by the masses all across the globe, and new forms of struggles and resistances are emerging from amongst the people.

Ever since we started our journey with Groundxero in 2018, we have worked with the belief that we live in a world where neutrality is neither affordable nor morally defensible. We do not believe in “both sides”— an excuse to propagate state-capital narratives. We are largely a small group of volunteers whose priorities lie in questioning the ruling-class discourses, and highlighting people’s resistance against it.

So far we have been working only online. However, the increasing censorship of content on online platforms, made us think of publishing print issue of Groundxero. Here we are with our first published issue of Groundxero.

Hundreds of anti-war activists encircled the White House with a two-mile "People's Red Line" to demand Biden halt its support for Israel's "genocidal" offensive in Gaza.

As the Israel Defense Forces on Saturday killed over 200 more Palestinians in the Gaza Strip while rescuing four hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, thousands of anti-war protesters descended on the White House in Washington, D.C.

"We as the people are drawing the red line today to say enough is enough," said a protester from the Palestinian Youth Movement. "It's time for an arms embargo, and it's time to end this."

বিশ্বের পরিবেশ সঙ্কট আসলে অতি গভীর। পৃথিবীর গভীর অসুখ এখন। ধুমধাম করে কয়েক হাজার বৃক্ষরোপণের টোটকা দিয়ে তার প্রতিকার অসম্ভব। এই সঙ্কট থেকে বেরোতে হলে বিনাশ ঘটাতে হবে বর্তমান পুঁজিবাদী ব্যবস্থার। বেদনাদায়ক হল, মানুষের মধ্যে সেই ধরনের সচেতনতা খুবই স্বল্প, অকিঞ্চিৎকর। তাই মানবজগত আজ বিলুপ্তির মুখে দাঁড়িয়ে পড়েছে কি না এই প্রশ্ন ওঠা অসঙ্গত নয়।

The INDIA alliance talks about the future while NDA is still talking about the past. They don’t have any futuristic programmes to offer for the young generation.

Reclaiming public health as part of the broader movement for defending democracy

As India approaches the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Jan Swasthya Abhiyan circulates this memorandum with a charter of policy proposals, appealing to all the political parties and independents in the election fray to commit to these by incorporating them in their election manifesto. This is essential because of the critical state of our country’s health system, since more than 80 crore people of this country who today depend on free ration also require protection for their health-related vulnerabilities. Despite the COVID experience, people’s health still remains very low on priority for the Union government. Increasing commercialisation and decrease in the government’s role has placed quality healthcare out of reach of the majority of Indians.

Ipsa Shatakshi is the wife of Rupesh Kumar Singh, an independent journalist based in Jharkhand who has been in jail since 17 July 2022, charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for being a suspected Maoist. Rupesh Kumar has been working as a freelance journalist since 2014, reporting on state violence against Adivasi communities.

Ipsa was a teacher but lost her job after Rupesh’s arrest, and she is currently pursuing a degree in law, in the hope of aiding the legal fight to release Rupesh. Both Rupesh and Ipsa were allegedly spied upon by the union agencies through ‘Pegasus’.

Sudarshana Chakraborty for Groundxero spoke to Ipsa Shatakshi amidst the polling for general elections 2024.
