Tales and Poems by Trans Women in India - Fighting on Different Fronts

This audio essay is a small engagement with land rights in Vietnam – from the violence of the colonial past to the violence of modern global capitalism and Vietnam’s move away from its socialist principles. We'll be listening to the stories of the people from Thủ Thiêm area (Hồ Chí Minh city), whose livelihoods have been gravely affected by neo-liberal land policy in the name of “development.”

The Kerala Model - Alternatives to State Neglect and Uncontrolled Capitalism

Kerala is the only state in India with a communist government, and is also one of the states that has tried to contain the forces of neo liberalism and the privatisation of vital social services, We explore how these polices played a role in the development of what has become known as the Kerala Model.

Our program focuses on the first wave of the pandemic and also considers some of the problems faced by Kerala in containing later waves, including the obstacles arising from the destructive polices of the national government.
