the Left cannot simply ignore the existence of national identities. These identities are integral elements of the political and social landscape in which the Left operates and, for the foreseeable future, they do not appear to be diminishing in importance.

Gramsci - nazionale-popolare - related it to cultural productions: literary or artistic works that express the distinctive characteristics of national culture and are recognized as representative by the popular classes. Today we use the term “national-popular” in a more general sense to refer to all those cultural, aesthetic, behavioral, and habitual traits widespread among the common people of a particular country.

Despite completing years in jail following the 2020 Delhi riots linked to CAA-NRC protests, their release remains elusive. The families urge immediate action, arguing that the continued incarceration of these activists reflects a troubling inconsistency in the justice system.
