The current BJP government in India has initiated a set of ongoing changes to weaken workers’ rights in India. This has led to massive protest by workers all over India. The government is also waging a nationalist and xenophobic offensive against its enemies and minorities. Its youth wing, the ABVP and the fascist RSS group are at the forefront of this offensive. In the last couple of weeks, a number of students and academics have been arrested for ‘anti Indian sentiments’ amid a push by these far right forces to repress opponents (see here and here). Solidarity for Indian students and academics has been global (see here and here).
