Bangalore, September 10, 2003. Over 35,000 farmers from across Karnataka State converged in Bangalore- -the state capital--today to protest the start of the Fifth Ministerial Meeting of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Cancun, Mexico. The rallying cry of the farmers was, “Either food and agriculture must be removed from the WTO, or India must quit the WTO.” The rally was organised by the Karnataka State Farmers’ Association—Karnataka Rajya Ryota Sangha (KRRS) and joined by the Dalit Sangharsh Samithi (DSS) and representatives from the Tami Nadu Farmers’ Association. DSS members stood in front of the Mahatma Gandhi Park with nooses around their necks to bring attention to the alarming increase of farmers’ suicides in the state and chanted, “We must have justice.” |

The first time Indian troops died on Iraqi soil was while fighting for the British Empire during the First World War. Indians being colonized during the First World War had hardly any say with respect to deployment of their “Indian Labour Corps” or of the “Indian Bullock Corps” who went to Iraq to fight for George V.

The first consists of observations on recent developments in the World Trade Organizations negotiations leading up to Cancun, most of which are based on data generously shared by my colleague Aileen Kwa, Focus on the Global South's point person in Geneva. The second part sketches the global context against which to place the developments at the WTO.
