Vandana Shiva: Decolonising the Global Economy 

ABSOLUTELY!

No please. It only defames her name. Nobel so-called peace prize is given only for political agenda serving the geopolitical interests of the Western imperialists.

d bless her

Agreed! And more!

What would Noble Prize mean to her and the needy? Don't be cheap and shallow.

I completely agree with you .

@Hagsy , history is important in our learning, but how to grow food should be our first love again!

I hold Dr Shiva in such high regard so the setting threw me off. Dr Shiva ... well done. God bless you.

The Germination of Outrage: How Vandana Shiva Fabricates Conspiracy Theories Posted by RISKMONGER [a degreed biotech expert] on FEBRUARY 27, 2020 "Vandana Shiva has made a lucrative business out of spreading conspiracy theories about agricultural technologies, sustainable farming, capitalism and industry. Her popularity has grown as she positions herself as a modern-day Gandhi, a social justice warrior, an ecological feminist and an agroecologist. The problem is that most everything that comes out of her much amplified mouth is complete nonsense: pure fabrications easily and often refuted. Which leads to the question: How does Vandana consistently get away with such ridiculous falsehoods and oral assaults on intelligent thought? How can she weave the absurd into a web of allegations willingly consumed by her followers? How does she relentlessly fabricate conspiracy theories and package them for consumption among the Western liberal elite? This article will look at one web of lies she is presently spinning as an analysis of the germination of outrage. Gone Vananas! As Vandana points her finger at Western economic models and institutions, she has profited quite well from lucrative speaking fees and first-class luxury living. She uses the free speech made available to her on university campuses to condemn farmers for freely choosing the seeds they want to grow. As Vandana attacks industry for their lack of openness, she will never engage in open debate with an adversary. As long as Vandana controls the microphone, she can say what she wants, repeating it to her followers and making the outrageous a marketable outrage. Some of the claims she has repeatedly made, which would have destroyed the credibility of any mere mortal, include: *Shiva: Indian farmers are killing themselves in much larger numbers after being exposed to pesticides and GMOs. Fact: Indian farmer suicide rates are lower than the national average. *Shiva: 75% of all diseases are caused by a “Poison Cartel” of three chemical companies. Fact: This is too absurd to consider. We are living longer and healthier lives. *Shiva: The Green Revolution in the 1960s destroyed India’s way of life. Fact: Until the Green Revolution, India was plagued with famines and chronic malnutrition. This is not a story about how wrong Vandana Shiva is, how she hypocritically profits from her lies or how dangerous she is to global food security. There is enough critical information out there. This is a story about how Vandana’s lies germinate into conspiracy theories packaged for outrage consumption. With Shiva, the truth doesn’t matter. She simply ignores any fact-checking, corrections and personal criticisms. Her adoring audience wants to hear what Shiva has to say, without a care for whether it is true or not. Like Donald Trump, Shiva has a Teflon charisma that appeals specifically to her base and allows her to take them down a road of rage, righteousness and rhetoric. Facts don’t matter when zealots fabricate outrage." Full coverage at: risk-monger.com/2020/02/27/the-germination-of-outrage/

This education starts and ends at home. If you are not doing it at home, why would you pass this important teaching on to someone else. ANYONE can take a seed, plant it in good soil, care for it and watch as it return 100 fold to the caregiver. This is not science. Its the true desire to create harmony. Americans are among the laziest most complacent people in the world. THAT is why we are the richest country with the poorest quality of food anywhere in the world. Wake up.

Navdanya in India

While those who speak about forced religions and conversions, the Indian government specifically, not only deny but punish all those who seek admission of the atrocities of the dominant castes on their working caste fellow-Indians over centuries that continue even today.

Navdanya

Those who talk about "Bharat" the loudest these days are indulging in double speak, as fascists always do. They were and continue to work for the global corporate elite nexus

@@SimonFranck100Oh! really. Then u are either a .. leftist or .. China or .. Pak or .. traitor of Bharat. .. urself.

@krsna302, sorry I beg to differ. Gandhi have his life to Bharat without any official title nor gained a fortune. It is so sad, while the world considers the Mahatma an apostle of peace but some fellow Indians have so much hatred for him. India gained freedom against a mighty empire without firing a bullet with the powerful force of satyagraha, truth and courage. Love from Perth Australia

Without Ghandi ji, India would be still a British Colony and it seems your mind is still blinded by it ! Today the world respect India because of Mahatma Ghandi ji and his non violent resistance to the GB…

I AM PROUD HE WAS AN INDIAN

@@ogathingo8885with due respects to Mahtama Gandhi and his respectable non violent movement was not what persuaded the British to leave . It was naval mutiny Subhash Chandra Boses a INA and other revolutionaries also . Haven’t u heard Clement Atlee the then PM of Britain ?? What made British leave This narrative suited Nehru and saved face of weakened Britain after Ww 2

@@drshishu of course it was cumulative effect of many movements and change of geopolitics at the end, which made the British leave but Gandhiji s long leadership made Indians see injustice in our society both outwardly and. Inwardly.
