Welcome to Episode 67 of Nooks and Crannies!

Punjab Demonstrations Explained, a bit, and Why General Strikes are Arousing to Matty? Wooooo!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

**New Interlude music from Cullah (https://www.cullah.com) thanks as always for the amazing tunes friend :-)

Well howdy there folks, in Solidarity with the demonstrators in India we offer up a bit of an explainer and some analysis on what is occurring in India (Punjab region and beyond), why it is not being covered in the ‘lame-stream’ media, why it should matter and the ways this speaks to the erosion of worker rights and the encroachment of “free market” capitalism into all aspects of our lived experience?

Bonus material: the monstrous qualities of Modi, why protecting Kapital always involves bloodshed of the innocents and why owning water is so evily tempting.

See links below for further background info, folks..this is The Largest Demonstration in HUMAN HISTORY! 250million plus people went on strike.

In Solidarity forever!
