India’s government on Saturday, June 5, warned Twitter to immediately comply with the country’s new social media regulations, which critics say give the government more power to police online content. Twitter is involved in a tense battle with the Indian government, which has often asked it to restrict content alleging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is trying to silence criticism, including of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

FILE - In this Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, file photo, a protesting farmer rests on his tractor trailer blocking a highway with other farmers at the Delhi- Haryana border, on the outskirts of New Delhi, India. Relations between Twitter and Modi's government have gone downhill ever since a tweet by pop star Rihanna in February sparked widespread condemnation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of massive farmer protests near the capital. At the heart of the standoff is a sweeping internet law that puts digital platforms like Twitter and Facebook under direct government oversight. Critics of the law worry it may lead to outright censorship in a country where digital freedoms have been shrinking since Modi took office in 2014. (AP Photo/Manish Swarup, File)

«Il tutto nel silenzio del resto del mondo che in altre faccende è affaccendato». Come fa sapere Marinella Correggia, giornalista di inchiesta attenta a questioni molte volte glissate dalla stampa mainstream,  «Il Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Skm, Fronte unitario contadino), coordinamento di quaranta organizzazioni contadine, ha potuto annunciare che il 19 novembre 2021, «nel 358esimo giorno di una lotta che ha visto gli agricoltori uniti, perseveranti e pacifici per il ripristino della democrazia nel paese», si è verificata una «storica prima vittoria» per l’abrogazione di tre leggi – approvate in fretta nel 2020 –, che liberalizzavano il mercato agricolo a favore delle grandi imprese e a tutto scapito del mondo rurale. Infatti, a sorpresa, il primo ministro ha annunciato che le leggi in questione saranno cancellate».

In questo anno 2020-2021 sarebbero da «670-720 i morti negli accampamenti durante la mobilitazione (per freddo, CoVid-19 e altre malattie)», come riporta Alessandro Scassellati su Transform Italia.
