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.

  From school to work in Sidhi SHARANYA Print edition : October 08, 2021         Thirteen-year-old Preeti has missed school for nearly two years now. June  to August is a time of intensive farm work in Madhya Pradesh, when the kharif crops are being sown and grown. In Bahari and Gajraha, two small villages of Sidhi district, many children were busy in the fields at the time of the SCHOOL survey. It is not unusual for them to work alongside their parents in the family fields, but this time, some were also working as paid labourers in other people’s fields, earning about Rs.150 a day on average. In Bahari, 13-year-old Preeti has missed school for nearly two years now. Before the lockout, she used to study in a government school. Today, she hardly has any time for herself.

 AP_ ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL_1st November Search 'Nothing else here': Why it's so hard for world to quit coal By ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL an hour ago DHANBAD, India (AP) — Every day, Raju gets on his bicycle and unwillingly pedals the world a tiny bit closer to climate catastrophe. Every day, he straps half a dozen sacks of coal pilfered from mines — up to 200 kilograms, or 440 pounds — to the reinforced metal frame of his bike. Driving mostly at night to avoid the police and the heat, he transports the coal 16 kilometers (10 miles) to traders who pay him $2. Thousands of others do the same. This has been Raju’s life since he arrived in Dhanbad, an eastern Indian city in Jharkhand state in 2016; annual floods in his home region have decimated traditional farm jobs. Coal is all he has. This is what the United Nations climate change conference in Scotland, known as COP26, is up  against . Earth desperately needs people to stop burning coal, the biggest single  source  of greenhouse g...
