Neoliberalism Unplugged? Pretty Confused

Kaleidoscope is pretty confused now and then so you can let it go or perhaps can spend some time reading this.

The budget reflects: NEOLIBERAL AGENDA

• a reduction in public distribution system,
• private participation in agriculture sector like never before,
• little increase in allocation at sectors like agriculture and irrigation,
• foodstuffs stocking is not a priority which indicates lack of positive attitude towards price rise,
• Tax concession for middle class

(see Frontline March 26, 2010)

Now the difficult and 'should not say' section: OPERATION GREEN HUNT

Moment from Operation Green hunt

• Over 40,000 paramilitary troops and policeman
• Challenges like Human Rights violation is not addressed.
• Issues of killing of innocent people (From a Few at The Hindu to 30 to 40 per Week at The Frontline)
• Issues of identifying REAL Naxals and villagers
• Issues of real problems at the real context

ADDING THE TWO

Neoliberal budget and continuation of Corporate hegemony

Invasion to tribal land where minerals and valuable resources rest. yet to be captured and capitalise.

So its Kaleidoscope's confusion - Are we ready to evacuate 'them' (Naxalite tribals!) from their homeland and start capitalise 'our' resources?

Just a fancy thought because LOK SABHA ELECTIONS ARE FOUR YEARS AWAY and LEFTS ARE LEFT OUT!
