The RSS’ Hindi weekly Panchjanya, weeks after calling Infosys a supporter of ‘tukde-tukde gang’, has termed American retail giant Amazon as ‘East India Company 2.0’.

Equating the retail giant with East India Company and accusing it of funding conversion in India and corrupt practices, Panchajanya also accused Amazon of assaulting Hindu values through its OTT platform Amazon Prime Videos.

Written by Panchjanya Bureau, the story “East India Company 2.0” says, “Actually, Amazon too wants to have sole rights on the Indian market. For this, it has started taking steps to encircle the political, economic, and individual freedom of people here. It is accused of floating shell companies to capture the e-market platform, of bribing to have policies in its favour, and of airing programmes opposed to Indian culture through Prime Videos.”

Now, Panchjanya calls Amazon East India Company 2.0; Will RSS distance itself again?

Saying that Amazon is using tactics used by the East India Company such as attacking the Indian culture and then promoting conversion, the article reads, “Today the same thing is being done by foreign companies. Amazon is now stuck in such a controversy.”

“Following cognizance of certain anti-Hindu content in programs such as Tandav and Paatal Lok on its OTT platform Prime Videos by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and some state governments, the company has apologized. People had alleged that Prime Videos is regularly airing such shows in which Hindu deities are made fun of and family values are assaulted,” it said.

Questions, however, are already being asked whether the RSS distance itself from Panchjanya this time also as it did in the case of Infosys?

After the Infosys controversy, the RSS had distanced itself from the article published in Panchajanya.


The RSS published a reproof to Panchajanya, saying, “As an Indian company, Infosys has a significant contribution in the progress of India. There may be some issues regarding the portal operated by Infosys, but the articles published in this context in Panchjanya are the personal views of the author.”

“Panchajanya is not a mouthpiece of the RSS and the said article or opinions expressed in it should not be linked with the Sangh,” All India Prachaar Pramukh (communications chief) of the RSS, Sunil Ambekar said.

  Home   ›   International India and China's coal mining revival holds an energy crisis lesson By  Dan Murtaugh and Rajesh Kumar Singh | Bloomberg  |  Last Updated at October 15 2021 11:04 IST Topics   Coal Supply  |  power cut  |  power crisis           A crunch on coal production from key hubs in China and India is beginning to ease, but that won’t be enough to halt Asia’s energy crisis. Major industries in the region, including steelmakers to chemical producers, are expected to continue to face power disruptions through the winter, as fuel supply remains tight and as governments prioritize heating demand from households.  Coal India  Ltd., the world’s top miner of the commodity, has temporarily stopped deliveries to all consumers in the country other than power stations, even as it boosts deliveries from mines.  “Markets may barely get by this winter on supply,” said Natalie Biggs, head of ...

Thoughts of a Communist

 #Some_Process_of_Marxist_Thought!! Those who know about me will agree that I personally spent nearly 25 years of life as a full-time political worker of both CPIM and Maoist organizations. Still in the parade of cpim! Now when it is clear in the national political situation that the mandal-comandal duality is overcome, the politics is again being observed by the Congress-RSS duality and the major aspect of which is the RSS. The question is why the strong position of the Communists in 1952 was undermined after 64?! The matter is internal! Because the main conditions for the development of matter must be internal. Its release caused a major controversy in the party and we handled it in a non-Marxist way. First, the end of the 1964 controversy should have been limited — to the expulsion of the S, A, Dang from the Central Committee but what was served — the expulsion of even those who were against the party split! The party as a whole entered the era of cpi and cpim. Later, in th...
