Interlinking Rivers: The Spectre Rises Again
By S.G.Vombatkere, PhD
http://www.countercurrents.org/vombatkere200312.htm
On February 27, 2012, the Supreme Court directed the Centre to implement the ambitious interlinking of rivers project in a time-bound manner and appointed a high-powered committee for its planning and implementation. But, it is an incredibly stupid idea
Obama Apologizes For Kandahar Massacre: But Not His Own Killings
By Sherwood Ross
http://www.countercurrents.org/ross200312.htm
How shall the world view the apology by President Obama for the massacre of 16 Afghan villagers allegedly by a lone U.S. serviceman in Kandahar Province when the President is himself personally responsible for the extra-judicial killing of hundreds of civilians by means of drone aircraft strikes whose crime he defends?

Throwing Money At The Pentagon
By William D. Hartung
http://www.countercurrents.org/hartung200312.htm
If you've been fretting about faltering math education and falling test scores here in the United States, you should be worried based on this campaign season of Republican math. When it comes to the American military, the leading Republican presidential candidates evidently only learned to add and multiply, never subtract or divide
The Future Is Ours If We Want It
By Timothy V. Gatto
http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto200312.htm
One thing should be obviously apparent to everyone; the Republicans don't stand a chance of defeating Obama, no matter who the eventual nominee is. If the GOP ends up with a brokered convention and becomes deadlocked, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jeb Bush drafted. That is probably the Democrats worst nightmare. I know it's mine
News From Syria And France
By Farooque Chowdhury
http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury200312.htm
News on Syria is being disseminated in a charged style. A news tilted as part of disinformation signifies preparation for deeper and more forceful involvement by external actors in the Middle Eastern country. At the same time, Turkey's plan for a buffer zone inside Syria, the war game in the region, and incidents in France, far away from Syria, are no less annoying. Are not these preludes to a gathering storm in the Middle East?
Andre Beteille's Dream World: Caste Today
By Gail Omvedt
http://www.countercurrents.org/omvedt200312.htm
A recent article by Andre Beteille, "India's destiny not caste in stone" argues that caste in fact is dying down, that it lives on mostly in consciousness, and that this is a result of the manipulations of the media during elections. The piece shows that elite social scientists are living in a dream world of their own making
The Politics of Knowledge And Caste
By Braj Ranjan Mani
http://www.countercurrents.org/mani200312.htm
Brahmanism cannot be sent to jail; it can only be banished from our minds and hearts, replacing it with a better ideology. We cannot ban or banish a bad idea, it can only be buried by a better idea. The way to defeat bad books is to write good books
Sri Lanka: Charades And Its Price
By Nilantha Ilangamuwa
http://www.countercurrents.org/ilangamuwa200312.htm
The dream world of Rajapakse will suffer a setback if India supports the resolution. Or Rajapakse has an option of continuing his ruffian attitude with help from China. Perhaps then he can call for a boycott of Indian products. However, the focus of only the Tamil issue by India is questionable since that could also encourage separatism without addressing the core concerns that eventually led to the Tamil issue, which is the complete destruction of the justice apparatus in Sri Lanka
Corruption In Pakistan: Past And Present
