Will you work for 90 hours?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkEWh8cRD9Q    Ravish Kumar Official Jan 10, 2025  L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan Asks Employees To Work 90 Hours A Week  A video of L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan is going viral in which he is saying that he regrets that he is not able to get people to work on Sundays. There are many memes going around on social media on his proposal to work for 90 hours a week. Actually, in the last several years, you have been reduced to sending only memes and good morning messages. There is either no job or it is low salary, inflation is at its peak and savings are going down. But you are pushing memes and blowing away every worry. All the questions have already disappeared from the media, the remaining work has been completed by the memes. Stop for a while and think how much space is there for you and your rights in such a proposal.

Interview: Releasing Nicobar report would be like ‘opening can of worms’, says anthropologist https://scroll.in/article/1077603/interview-releasing-nicobar-report-would-be-like-opening-can-of-worms-says-anthropologist  A largely uncontacted tribe of about 250 people, the Shompens live on the Great Nicobar island, the southernmost landmass of India. In 2021, the Modi government announced plans to develop a massive infrastructural project on the island at a cost of Rs 72,000 crore, which many fear could endanger the island’s native tribal communities and unique flora and fauna. Pandya submitted a video report to the administration, which included interviews he had conducted with members of the island’s tribal communities, the Shompens and the Nicobarese, as well as settlers from the mainland who had been living there for decades. “We never heard from the administration after that,” Pandya told Scroll.

The Shompens have the argument that it will destroy the area’s soil regeneration system. Each part of the forest is associated with streams of the Galathea and Alexandra rivers crisscrossing the island. When the river overflows in the rainy season, the alluvial soil is deposited downstream, which makes it possible for Shompens to regenerate their tapioca gardens and horticultural plots.

Government reports used to call Shompens “shy”. Hostile Jarawas, aggressive Sentinelese, docile Onges – these are the terms reports used. Why would the Shompen be shy? These are all the categories created because of the way [the administration] interacted with them and the way it suits the scheme of our development. Shompen are aware of the outside world and are articulate that they do not want the outsiders here. And that’s why they became “shy”.

 America and Africa | Michael Hudson's Opinion on National Debt   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT4wcvXAo7g why national debt is having such a severe impact on African nations while America remains a world power despite her own debts. 

Youtube transcribe:  what makes african and third world debt different from the american debt?
number one america is never going to pay its debts. its debts are in its own currency we can simply print it 

the african debt is not in its currency the african debt is in u.s dollars africa has to earn the u.s dollars and the only way it can earn the us dollars and  not be assassinated for growing its own food and becoming independent   and
doing something that the united states does not like

The principle underlying the foundation of the world bank and the IBRD research is that no country should grow its own food. africa
and the third world should only grow export crops to export in order to have an oversupply of cocoa and other tropical raw materials to keep
down the price.   they must buy their grain from the united states or europe so that if they do something that we don't like we can do what america tried to do to china in the 60s. We can sanction them we can say we're going to starve you we're going to not export any grain to you  foreign debt in dollars means that they have to somehow sell something that the united states wants not what they want.

i think the the most evil organizations in the world today are the the world bank and the international monetary fund and my book
super imperialism that i wrote in 1972  is all about that . the largest purchasers of the book uh were the defense department and the CIA. ciathe organization i worked for was given a seventy five thousand eighty five thousand dollar defense department contract for me to come to
explain to them how american imperialism worked 

 i had written the book thinking that socialists and third world countries would do something about it and indeed
...
there's also something we're suffering from in africa the devaluation of currency as another way of the evaluation of the currency
currency as a way of keeping us dependent continuously. when a country devalues a currency what are they devaluing. 
there's a world price for grain a world price for aluminum a world price for raw materials.   the only thing that they can really devalue is the price of their labor. So when africa or latin america or greece is told to devalue the currency what that means is pay labor less. you have to squeeze out more to pay the top of the economic pyramid . to suck it all up out to the top ten percent or one percent or zero point one percent .

So devaluation is basically an anti-labor uh policy to prevent a domestic market and prosperity from developing . That is why the
china and russia are saying we don't want to be part of the dollar area.  We want our own currency that we will only borrow in our own debt.

102 maps forged to legalise Mumbai coast properties: Probe https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/102-maps-forged-to-legalise-mumbai-coast-properties-probe/articleshow/116972854.cms Ahmed Ali / TNN Jan 6, 2025,  The manipulation was first flagged by a farmer from Erangal in Malad, Vaibhav Thakur, who owns ancestral farm land.

 deputy superintendent of land records Nitin Salunkhe lodged another FIR in 2021. He said maps and documents were forged between 2012 and 2020 to regularise illegal constructions in eco-sensitive zones.

Investigators found that of 884 permanent enumeration maps dating back to 1955-1984 and housed in the deputy superintendent's office, 102 were fraudulent, showing constructions that did not exist before 1964. Maharashtra govt, following the SIT's findings, has ordered the principal secretary of Urban Development and Director of Land Records in Pune to take action against those responsible for manipulating public records. 

'Digital timepass' is India's 'lying flat': How boredom became a business? https://www.business-standard.com/economy/news/digital-timepass-is-india-s-lying-flat-how-boredom-became-a-business-125010600062_1.html 
In smaller Indian cities and towns, where opportunities for advancement are few and dwindling, the nounis emerging as something of a social and cultural phenomenon. ..In smaller Indian cities and towns, where opportunities for advancement are few and dwindling, the nounis emerging as something of a social and cultural phenomenon. It bears resemblance to China’s “lying flat” movement, which tells young people to opt out of the economic race and settle for mediocre workplace success and modest consumer fulfilment. 

The 2010 book, Timepass: Youth, Class, and the Politics of Waiting in India, locates the concept in sociology: A generation of young people has a vision of the future but no capacity at its disposal to realize the goal. So it advertises its fruitless waiting “through a self-conscious strategy of hanging out,”

क्यों बेकारी को पसंद करने लगे हैं भारत के युवा?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIVsOJDMAYc

आज का भारत काम कर रहा है या टाइम पास कर रहा है? इस सवाल का जवाब इस बात से मिल जाएगा कि हम किन चीज़ों को लेकर बात कर रहे हैं और किन चीज़ों को लेकर बात नहीं कर रहे हैं। कितने सपने आपको दिखाए गए। स्मार्ट सिटी का क्या हुआ? नौकरियों का क्या हुआ? महंगाई कम होने का क्या हुआ? हालत ये है कि बेरोज़गारी का एक भी आधिकारिक आँकड़ा नहीं है और युवा सवाल पूछने की जगह रील के संसार में ही ख़ुश हैं।
