The first session of a series of webinars to understand, resist and expose one of the world’s most dangerous billionaires: Indian businessman Gautam Adani.
The series will examine Adani’s role in various harmful projects in conjunction with Narendra Modi’s Hindu supremacist government, and with global imperialist powers. These include the coal mining of Adivasi lands, weapons sales to Israel including through shipping and ports (Adani acquired the lease for Israel’s second largest port, Haifa, even as Indian dock workers have been refusing to load Israeli weapons) and the creation of residential schools for Adivasi children. Crucially, we will also be focusing on ongoing resistance to Adani’s destructive policies, particularly among Adivasi communities.
In this session, we have a discussion between Paranjoy Guha Thakurta and Ravi Nair on how Adani acquired his immense wealth, will feature a discussion.
Paranjoy is an Indian journalist, writer, publisher, documentary filmmaker and teacher, and the only Indian journalist referred to in the famous Hindenburg Report on Adani.
