“….'. 19 Over a decade ago, however, Geoff Eley suggested that the whole discursive tradition of the Second International had been at best obscured and at worst lost. 20 And we might also now be in danger of losing the contributions to historical materialism made after 1914, especially by colonial theorists.…”

Much of the early criticism of colonial genocide and genocidal practices elsewhere came from Marxists such as August Bebel, Antonio Gramsci and Ho Chi Minh. The German Left were strong critics of the colonial policy that led to the genocide against the Nama and Herero peoples. When Marxist regimes came to power after the First and Second World Wars, they initiated population politics which were highly detrimental to historical ethnic communities. This has led to a serious crisis of legitimacy on the Left. Clearly, the legacy of debates of the early inter-nationalists is still relevant as we discuss genocide as both a historical and contemporary phenomenon, but it is also essential that we use the full range of new analytical approaches as well as the comparative approach to understand and even begin to prevent this phenomenon.

India today has been confronting not only the evil and sinister designs of the internal and external "divisive forces" that are bent upon to malign and break the integrity of the nation, but the Indian academia also are under the tacit onslaught of the combined disruptive theoretical and divisive forces of Critical Race Theory, 1 Critical Caste Theory, 2 Critical Dalit Theory, 3 New American Marxism, 4 Subalternism, 5 and of late, Wokeism 6 and LGBTQ+ 7 movements. Needless to say that these attempts are being fuelled, supported, and funded by the leftovers of the leftist activists, based in European and American academic institutions. The University of Harvard has become today the epicenter of all such inimical forces. The philosophy of "Marxism" that emerged in England by two German philosophers of the nineteenth century, Karl Marx and Friedrch Engles, engulfed the whole of the Soviet Union, China, and many of the West European and East Asian nations in the twentieth century; until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Marx's historical materialism is, no doubt, one of the most significant theories in social science, particularly in anthropology. However, dialectical materialism, which incorporated the Hegelian philosophy of dialectics, was not accepted in Western academia for over 70 years; though, the permuted version of Marxist philosophy had already started entering American universities in the twentieth century itself. And today, it has assumed a monstrous form spreading all sorts of "divisive movements" across the world with the University of Harvard as its headquarters. These forces have taken India's "divisive identity politics" to a new scale. Critical Race Theory, popularly known as "Wokeism" has become the latest agenda of misinterpreting and maligning Indian culture and civilization that has been perpetuating in the country for thousands of years maintaining the coexistence of all societies, despite a number of inherent ills in its social system. Malhotra and Nilakantan (2011) and Malhotra and Viswanathan (2022) in their books have unreservedly exposed the designs of Neo-American-Marxism and their proponents' agenda of dismantling India; as also, their network in India and abroad.

“…The growing acceptance of genocide studies, the comparative method at its center, has, as Henry R. Huttenbach notes, saved it from the "rapid intellectual parochialism" that has marked Holocaust studies (1999:8). We should not let another kind of parochialism interfere with enlightenment, as we consider genocide as a particular form of social violence that may share certain attributes with a range of other socially produced violences (Scheper-Hughes 2002;Stone 2004). 2 The course is an event that happened.…”

Reflections on Teaching Social Violence in an Age of Genocide and a Time of War

This article is a reflection by a teacher and a student on "structural-violence pedagogy," the process of teaching and learning about the structures of inequality implicated in various forms of social violence, including those of everyday life, massacre, and genocide. Using a case study of an undergraduate course in anthropology, we explore the complexity and emotionally charged nature of this field, some innovative teaching strategies, and contributions of anthropology to understanding a world marked and marred by war, genocide, racialization, and structural poverty. The teacher shapes a course of study informed by critical pedagogy and theories about violence and power. The student draws on her personal experiences, her intellectual interests, and her yearning for fuller answers to deeper questions as she seeks to reciprocate what is being taught to her. Together, teacher and student explore the promise in the power of teaching for understanding the world as it does exist. [Keywords: structural-violence pedagogy, critical pedagogy, social violence, genocide, power]
