Alok Shukla, defender of the Hasdeo forests and its people, receives the prestigious Goldman Award, May 2024. Abir Dasgupta interviews him for AdaniWatch. The Adani Group operates a coal mine in the forests and is attempting to develop more, despite the opposition of people who depend on the forests for their livelihoods and way of life.

Environmental and Human Rights struggle is not a fight against fascism

Text of a talk delivered by Abir Dasgupta at the Anti Fascist Grand Conference in Calcutta. The talk was in Hindi, this is the English original. The environmental and human rights struggle should not be framed solely as a fight against fascism. The Adani Group’s role is ideological, not just as a beneficiary of crony capitalism. The group is an exemplary product of Hindu Fascist political economy.
