A Language of Blood Has Gripped Our World: The Twentieth Newsletter (2025)

Dahlia Abdelilah Baasher (Sudan), Untitled, n.d. Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Over the past weeks, international focus has no doubt been on the escalation between India and Pakistan, which we will write more about once the dust settles. Though none of the armies crossed the border or the Line of Control, concern is nonetheless understandable: both countries wield nuclear weapons in their arsenal. Now, there has effectively been a return to the ceasefire of 1948, which has lingered in the decades since without a proper and full peace treaty. International attention has also rightly remained on the genocide in Palestine, with Israelis tightening the total siege on Gaza, perhaps as vengeance for Palestinians’ return to northe...

No to the oppression of the ruling classes of India and Pakistan ! In defense of the rights of the Kashmiri people!

Writes from India Sagnik Mukherjee Amid the recent war-like tension brewing between India and Pakistan, both states have issued various statements. Following a sudden terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which claimed 26 lives, the situation escalated into one resembling war. The Indian state, under the pretext of combating so-called "Islamic terrorism," is preparing for military action. Similarly, the Pakistani state has historically supported the same kind of frustrated petty-bourgeois terrorism, often veiled in religious garb—because religious identity (not religion itself) proves most effective and most misleading. The existence of such terrorism is essential to maintain the capitalist structure. Now, specifically concerning the Kashmir region...

Israel’s Crimes in the West Bank: The Nineteenth Newsletter (2025)

Malak Mattar (Palestine), If the Olive Tree Knew, 2025. Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. In 1948, the newly proclaimed Israeli government seized 78% of Palestinian land and expelled more than half of the population (750,00 people) from their villages and towns. This act disregarded United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (1947), which called for the termination of the colonial British Mandate and the partition of Palestine into a Palestinian and a Jewish state. This process came to be known as the Nakba (Catastrophe). The Palestinians gathered in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the neighbouring Arab states in the hope that they would soon be able to return to their homes. Indeed, UN General Assembly Resoluti...

Waiting for a New Bandung Spirit: The Sixteenth Newsletter (2025)

Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. In the last days of March, I was in China’s new city of Xiong’an, less than a two-hour drive from Beijing.

Comrade Anil Chaudhary is no more. His Struggle Lives On

It is with profound grief and deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Comrade Anil Chaudhary—a dedicated people’s educator, an activist, and a tireless warrior for social and economic justice. After bravely fighting for over a week on ventilator support following a severe heart attack, he breathed his last at Fortis Hospital, Gurugram. Anil ji was a guiding light for the NATIONAL HAWKER FEDERATION and countless people’s movements across the country. For over four decades, he played a pivotal role in strengthening the struggle for land rights, amplifying the voices of the marginalized, and resisting neoliberal exploitation and state repression. His political clarity, incisive analysis, and courage in speaking truth to power made him a beloved comrade and a revered figure in ...

The Buchenwald Concentration Camp Was Liberated by Communist Prisoners: The Fifteenth Newsletter (2025)

Boris Taslitzky (France), Insurrection à Buchenwald 11 avril 1945 (Insurrection at Buchenwald 11 April 1945), 1964. Dear Friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Eighty years ago, on 11 April 1945, units of General George S. Patton’s 4th Armoured Division of the US armed forces drove toward the city of Weimar, Germany, where the Buchenwald concentration camp was located. Patton’s troops eventually took control of the camp, but soldiers’ statements, which were collected later by historians, suggest that the US tanks were not what liberated Buchenwald: the camp had already been seized by the organisation and courage of the prisoners who took advantage of the flight of German soldiers in the face of the Allied advance. Political prisoners ...
