Bangalore these days is purging itself its long held image, that it is a city that is impervious to what happens around the world. The gathering on 25th August ’14 to remember the Communal Carnage of 2007 & 2008 in Odisha’s Kandhamal district is any indication, then the ordinary working people citizens of this city are surely shrugging off their old habits.
The following video series is a appeal for Kandhamal Solidarity Day on 25th August of this month that is being organized by Peoples’ Solidarity Concerns – Bangalore (that includes the New Socialist Alternative CWI-India). Includes solidarity appeals By Fr. Ambrose Pinto (Principal – St Aloysius College, Bangalore), Bharath Raj Patta (Students Christian Movement of India), Narasimha Murthy (advocate & activist from Bangalore), Ruth Manorama (well known Dalit activist) and Jagadish G Chandra (CWI-India)

What is the role of imperialism in the conflict?
A hail of death has roared down on Gaza for weeks. Working class people in Britain and worldwide are shocked and angered at images of a Palestinian father carrying his dead children’s body parts in a plastic bag, and other daily horrors from the Gaza Strip.
