Vijay Prashad

Kinda weird to call the central goverment Hindutva fascism for years and then fully support them in increasing the militarization of Kashmir, also Prashad posted this 5 years ago

One year ago, Narendra Modi arrested Kashmir.

At least the indian socialists still have the naxalites and the CPI(ML)

CPI(ML) Statement

The CPI(ML) Liberation strongly condemns the terrorist attack on April 22 in Baisaran, Pahalgam, where unarmed tourists were targeted, resulting in several deaths and injuries. We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and stand in solidarity with their families.

The Modi government's claim of normalisation of the situation in J & K and chest-thumping on national security stands exposed, as such attacks continue unabated in the region. There has been a disturbing rise in attacks on civilians—residents, migrant workers, and now tourists.

The BJP’s repeated proclamations of “complete normalcy” in Jammu & Kashmir ring hollow in the face of such continuing violence. While the ruling party has declared on every platform that all issues in the region have been resolved, the reality tells a different story. Jammu & Kashmir remains heavily militarized, and terror attacks persist under the watch of this regime. The Modi government’s strategy—suppressing democratic voices while indulging in aggressive posturing—has failed to deliver either peace or security.

We must reject any attempt to use this tragic incident as a pretext to stoke jingoistic and communal narratives. At this critical moment, it is essential for people across the country to stand united and push back the divisive forces seeking to exploit such tragedies for political gain.

What you're saying doesn't sound like what they're saying and I don't know why you would choose to portray them that way

Yeah, there's pretty much zero chance Prashad would have meant this as an endorsement of Modi unless someone was literally holding a gun to his head while typing it out.

I think OP has massively misinterpreted this.

This could easily be read more as a challenge than as support. "Get off your asses and try to act like a legitimate government for once" rather than "I love you so much and I want to have your babies"

From what I know about Prashad I very much doubt that he views the Modi government positively.

Should this be read as implicit support for the Palestinian Authority, or have you identified a major difference between the Palestinian and Kashmiri liberation struggles?
