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.
Angry at news reports that the State Bank of India is about to loan Adani money for its Carmichael mine, campaigners in the Indian state of Goa have protested outside the bank’s offices. The action was in solidarity with similar protests occurring in Australia and around the world. It is the first StopAdani protest to occur in India.
