The book under review here, very simply titled ‘Mingas+Solidarity’ is a rare and invaluable book. It is rare because such books are seldom seen in print. It is invaluable because it provides an inspiring testimony of the spirit and action of voluntary community work—something that has been precious for the progress of humanity and yet has been getting eroded in most places.

According to Bhagat Singh’s documents, a very thought-provoking article titled ‘Ek Nirvaas’ M.A. was published in ‘Kirti’ of September, 1928. Bhagat Singh and his comrades thought deeply about this article, and found it to be in line with their thoughts. Perhaps that is why this article was included in the documents of Bhagat Singh and his comrades. The editors of the document have described this article as the creation of Lala Hardayal.

The ‘tourism question’ is one which has Goans divided with glaring claims and counter-claims. Individual and interest groups define these splits. This is the time for policy- makers to revive the destination and create new paradigms of tourism that have social components to match Goa’s unique potentials. In fact, tourism products consumed by travelers belong to the ‘commons’. Tourism happens in spaces owned by the ‘commons’- the people.

I read in the newspaper that some Dalit students in Banaras had organized a program to burn Manusmriti some days ago, and all of them are in jail. I don’t understand why Dalits do such stupid things. They follow Dr. Ambedkar, but they forget that the circumstances of that time were different. Dr. Ambedkar saw Manusmriti as Hindu separatism. How are Dalits seeing it today? If they consider themselves Hindus, then why are they opposing Manusmriti?

When Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur was set up in 1959, two villages were uprooted. The farmers were given meagre compensation for the standing crop. No compensation was given for the land to build this institute of national importance. Each family was promised a job but what was not told to them was that one would require specialised skills to get a job at IIT. Some members of these families were, of course, absorbed for menial work.
