to remember right discussion of N Gugi wa Thiango in his novel on“ Devil on the cross” about the meeting of labours, bandits, Burglars, plunderers arranged in a cave to discuss about the ways and means to intensify and to continue the exploitation. This Forum warns us that if it becomes impossible to exploit and loot on the name of commercialization, then it will lead to occurrence of“ WARS”. It means that favourable environment should be created for the corporate / Business forces to raise their affluence by increasing labour exploitation. For work force, there is no any alternative except to live in miserable conditions. Moreover, the exploitation of corporate forces resulted in the environmental degradation and pollution which further increases the crisis of oppressed. This issue will not be discussed at all by the Forum rather gives slogan to“ preserve oceans”. Who are destroying / spoiling oceans? For whose benefit the powerful corporate forces, Imperialist governments and international organisations always organise World Conferences to preserve and protect the environment. In fact they are the cause for environmental degradation. What about the recent incident of Sterilite company of Vedanta group? Over 20,000 people gathered on 100 th day at Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu to protest against the copper smelting unit and demanded the closure of the unit in views of its serious pollution, as directed by the High Court. Even Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board rejected Sterlite’ s application seeking reversal of consent to operate the plan in view of the release of effluents. People showed protest and right to protect environment. But the police started firing which killed more than 9 people. It is brutal example of statesponsored terrorism. The citizens who went to protect and preserve the environment as per Court of law
14 have been murdered by the state. Who is responsible for environmental pollution? Who benefits from it? Who are the victims? Who are fighting at the cost of their lives to protect environment? Whose side is the state? All this can be understood clearly with one single example of Thoothukudi. Further, it clearly shows the Cruel, Brutal Barbaric and Vicious attitudes of forces which want to strengthen the process of communalization otherwise they warn occurrence of Wars. On the one hand imperialist Nation & dominant class always creates war-fear among neighboring nations, on the others, the WEF advocates good relations among neighboring nations itself is a serious contradiction.
What measures are required to sustain and continue the exploitative system? This not only requires favourable economic structures but also need strong cultural structures as well as ideology. The success is in the implementation of neo-liberal policies resulted in the transformation of monopoly capitalism into super globalization form which lead to the emergence of powerful, strong and widened brokerage system between powerful corporate forces and common people. The society takes a form where everyone is broker and simulta neously everyone is oppressed. Thus, exploitation, oppression, violence, fraud-all are institutionalized. In these conditions, no chance for the youth of oppressed to lead a decent life. No livelihood, no earnings but always luxurious lives of rich visible & attractive and will be viewed in everybody’ s home through TV, Internet mobile etc. This single weakness is more than sufficient for the Mafiocracy of the dominant class. It can easily mould them as“ activists” in its creation of“ criminal world”. Crime itself is institutionalized. As a part of brokerage system, everybody becomes a criminal. The hierarchical ladder of the socioeconomic structures will be strengthened further. Everyone is bound to commit a crime. Therefore, it is popularised that the solutions can be found in spiritual programs. Therefore the religious leaders are also members in WEF. Extreme anxiety and restlessness are institutionalized in the socioeconomic structure and peace is thrown out. For the organized / institutionalized problem, individual solutions are coming forward like meditation and Yoga for peace. As long as exploitation continues, simultaneously rapid growth can be seen in the religious activities. A multiple growth can be seen in this regard. In the strong unequal society, charity assumes great value. The capitalist class with appropriates wealth generated by working class / oppressed and in return, it is kind enough to give funds to the oppressed in the form of aid and donations. The oppressed who receive donations will have no option except to be subservient, submissive, obedient and timid to the dominant class. Moreover the charity of the rich will be popularised as good and great. This in the guise of charity religious activities of worship like yagas, all the cruel activities like exploitation, corruption and crimes will become invisible. No one thinks about what are the means and methods to acquire wealth.
In the exploitive system people who became strong participants in it, will always listen to the preaching of various religious leaders and offers prayers organise religious rites. Further, they are confident that their illegal, exploitive activities crimes will not be caught by the law. Still a kind of fear encourage them to perform so many rituals, tantric pujas, animal sacrifice, black magic, wearing lucky stones, changing numbers of letters in the names, emergence of so many babas and ammas- Dera Baba,
