Capitalism can't be fixed! There is a group that is building a socialist future. Check it out: https://capitalismcantbefixed.ca/ Thank you for your instructive books, Nora. We have the ideas (thanks to you), so what is stopping us from acting.

Why isn’t an NDP government in the foreseeable future?

I don't think Canada is examining Hindutva's role in all of Canada's institutions sufficiently, nor recognizing and addressing caste enforcement where it takes place, this is a new dimension added to the already massive failures to tackle racism and colorism.

PRA/Savera has done important research into Hindutva in USA:

or PDF: https://politicalresearch.org/sites/default/files/2024-10/HAF%20Way%20to%20Supremacy_0.pdf

For anyone interested in learning about caste, and understanding part of what motivates Hindutva, I recommend reading Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's writings and speeches especially what he has written/said on caste, his collected work spans 20 thick PDFs across 17 volumes:

(I maintain this website)

I also recommend the following books on caste by Dalits:

The Trauma of Caste by Thenmozhi Soundararajan

Coming Out as Dalit by Yashica Dutt

Caste Matters, and Caste: A Global Story both by Dr. Suraj Yengde

I love your calling attention to the monsters in the room - the most evil, collaboration of genocidal leaders. It would warm the hearts of a long line of evil Hitleroids to see their dreams being fulfilled.

Of course we must focus on reclaiming bits of democracy. Thanks for your work!
