Eqbal Ahmad Reader – BhoPEAC
“India’s nuclear program is a devastating threat not only to south Asia but to the world. The basic India Pakistan conflict seems to me, to be over Kashmir. And until that’s settled in some fashion – and we can imagine settlements. Eqbal Ahmad had sensible proposals for settlement. They could be pursued. Then maybe India and Pakistan could relax the military confrontation. And maybe, setting up a nuclear weapons free zone.” – Noam Chomsky

印度城市古尔冈，购物商场和金融大厦鳞次栉比，然而这繁华盛世背后却是工人阶级辛酸的挣扎。近年来，伴随着工业腾飞，印度诞生了一个庞大的工人阶级——农民工。和中国的情况相似，由于工资过低，来自农村的工人被迫与家人分离，只能在大城市工厂与农村之间流动。残酷的现实促使印度工人不断发起集体反抗来改变自身的处境。本文结合古尔冈的工业结构等背景，提出当地工人需要总结以往传统抗争方式失败的教训，未经批准的罢工以及工厂占领可能才是出路。
