Misleading Myths About Slavery

by Hugh J Curran countercurrents.org/2026/09/mislea… 

Hugh J Curran examines persistent myths about slavery and the attempt to distribute responsibility for the transatlantic slave trade equally among Africans and Europeans. He distinguishes forms of servitude within Africa from the racialized, hereditary chattel slavery developed in the Americas, while acknowledging African participation in slave capture and trade. The article traces the role of European commercial interests, weapons, colonial plantation economies and racial ideology in expanding the Atlantic trade. It also considers resistance to enslavement, slavery in Muslim societies, Britain’s abolition laws, compensation to slave owners, and the growing international debate over reparations and historical responsibility.

Reading the Body, Governing the Eye: Modesty, Gaze and Scripture in the Torah, the New Testament and the Quran

by V A Mohamad Ashrof countercurrents.org/2026/09/readin…

V A Mohamad Ashrof examines modesty, visual desire and the discipline of the gaze across the Torah, the New Testament and the Quran. Drawing on research in neuroscience, physiology and eye-tracking, the article considers evidence for differences in male and female responses to visual sexual stimuli. It then examines the textual and interpretive foundations of hair-covering, head-covering and related dress practices in the three traditions. The study highlights the distinction between explicit scriptural commands and later legal or customary elaborations, while also examining the recurring injunction that men exercise restraint in their gaze. It presents the scientific and scriptural evidence cautiously, noting both convergences and significant interpretive disagreements.

The Farmer Is Not to Be Trifled With, in Reel or Real Life

by Vidyarthy Chatterjee countercurrents.org/2026/09/the-fa…

Vidyarthy Chatterjee reflects on the dignity of farmers and the ways class prejudice is expressed through dress, manners and social appearance. Beginning with recent incidents involving the lungi, he connects contemporary political behaviour with Joshy Joseph’s 2004 short film 'Safar', in which a farmer travelling to Delhi quietly unsettles the assumptions of affluent urban passengers. The film’s humour and visual storytelling expose the fragility of social hierarchies built around clothes, etiquette and notions of refinement. Chatterjee also considers Joseph’s documentary work and his own experiences of class-based judgement, before linking these reflections to the continuing struggles of farmers, workers and students.

Veda as Vedanta Living and Singing

Let me try a Vedantic example to show how the adhyatmik emerges out of the beautiful poetry of the Veda

This is a thought experiment 

Imagine you are the water in the body of the ocean. How do you see a wave? Or shall we say, you yourself as a wave? 

Language collapses, doesn’t it? Now only poetry or music can describe the experience of the water that is you. It is you but you have taken a particular form and movement, आकार-गति 

Are you with me so far? There is no difference between the water and the wave except that the water has taken a unique appearance within the body of the water

Thus, the adhyatmik insight no longer separates the seer and the seen, the knower and known. The seer is the seen. The knower is the known. Agni and Mitra are all the unfolding of a Reality that is One. Does this make sense?

Gen Z has more information, more choices, and more access than any generation before. Yet overthinking, comparison, distraction, career confusion, burnout, and dissatisfaction are more common than ever. So here’s the question: can ancient Vedic ideas still offer something meaningful in the age of AI, Instagram, and endless scrolling?

In this video, we explore attention, purpose, discipline, independent thinking, social media comparison, and even the intellectual fearlessness of Gargi through a Gen Z lens. No blind acceptance. No unnecessary rejection. Just curiosity, context, and better questions. Which Gen Z struggle do you think needs the most attention today: overthinking, distraction, career confusion, or comparison? @VedaforGenZ by @PariksithSingh

Our Western Civilization already has the values needed for this world: the dignity of the individual, freedom, property, merit, voluntary cooperation and human creativity. When people are scarce, you don’t need fear to control them. You need to attract them, trust them, empower them and let them build. Free people rather than prisoners of fear. Positive emotions rather than negative ones. Courage, hope and creation – rather than fear, envy and resentment. A completely different society. A completely different architecture of human relations.

In Defence of Vulgarity ?

by Sandeepan countercurrents.org/2026/09/in-def…

In 'In Defence of Vulgarity', Sandeepan examines the emergence of vulgarity as a language of dissent in India’s July 2026 youth protests. Drawing parallels with May 1968 in France, the article situates the protests within the growing precarity of students, workers and young people. It argues that memes, slang, humour and provocative expressions can function as forms of political dissensus, particularly when conventional avenues of debate are constrained. Drawing on Jacques Rancière and examples from India and elsewhere, Sandeepan considers how vulgar aesthetics challenge established political conventions and create alternative spaces for expression. The article also reflects on the uncertain political future of this emerging form of dissent.

This volume unfortunately does not have a chapter by a philosopher who could reflect on why philosophy departments came to be somewhat marginal to postcolonial epistemological imaginaries, despite the history within philosophy of an intense debate on intellectual decolonization. But an analogous debate...
