Unfolding of "New conception" of Women's empowerment | Sunil Ray

Sunil Roy — 2024-03-23T02:11:51Z

WHEN LAKSHMI SMASHES HER BHANDAR It is the crucifixion of humanity in Sandeshkhali of West Bengal that witnessed incessant brutality against women for several years at the patronage of the ruling party of the state. The narratives of barbarism perpetrated by the state agency is certainly not the same as that of the Middle Ages. It is worse than that particularly because such a process of criminalization gained instantaneous protection under the veil of democracy. The nudity of (…)

Conjuring an illusion of prosperity | Sunil Ray

Sunil Roy — 2024-02-17T04:02:04Z

Introduction
The “chariot of Trust” is now rolled out in the Indian Republic by the current political regime in power. It is claimed to be an unquestionable truth by the latter. Its influence on the economic historians of tomorrow may not be inconsequential unless chariot is thwarted. Till then, economic prosperity of the nation in all its likelihood will no way be different from what some say a ‘magical realism'. The magical realism takes a different route however unscientific it is, to (…)

Introduction
The 21st century made its beginning with a shift of geographies of reasons for reorganizing the principles of the economic and social life of humanity in the world.

While epistemic disobedience (Mignolo, 2011: 44) is built into these (…)

First, Talk About Employment Creation Not For A Few, But For Many | Sunil Ray

Sunil Roy — 2022-08-26T20:10:51Z

Introduction
Let me begin by quoting of what I wrote a couple of months ago in an article titled “Reinventing the spirit of freedom” published by Mainstream on November 27, 2021.
“Perhaps the next wave of the resistance movement (after farmers' movement against farm laws had begun) is in its embryonic stage. It is against unemployment and new labor laws to be followed by barbaric social discrimination that manifests in all forms and holds back civilizational progress. The parade of the (…)

In Search of Development Alternative

Sunil Roy — 2011-07-10T16:34:30Z

I propose to focus on three sets of issues related to the development perspective especially with reference to countries like India. First, I would like to argue that the dominant development perspective has proved itself irrelevant and extraordinarily sick in practice. It is not necessarily due to it being market-centric, but mainly due to the absence of serious development debates. The development perspective is not static; it evolves over time with new ideas, understanding and insights. (…)
