Independence Day
Today is a good day to reflect upon what kind of Independence we have got ourselves. If colonial powers were unjust, how good is our system now?
Economically, to me this is a day we must renew our pledge for freedom from exploitative capitalists, from corporations which do not serve the people. For decades, many individuals and groups have been struggling against exploitation. Right now the farmers protest is set to enter the ninth month.
At this juncture, American farmers, who were impoverished by neo-liberalism, stand in solidarity with Indian farmers. They are saying, do not go down the path the government is pushing you – stand for your rights.
