In a capitalistic world, most of us assume our status to be ‘free’ when in reality we do not own the means to shape our respective lives. In everyday activities of ours, we protest against injustice, and yet duly serve the unjust masters.

Such struggles in human lives have forever existed. And yet at the same time, not all beings are equally affected owing to exclusive historical benefits. However, the reality is that majority of people in every epoch of history have suffered at the hands of a small minority of owning class. Which is why, some among us have constantly tried to remind the world of the collective human struggles led by the economically poor to attain betterment for all. Lest we consider only our respective privileges and view the world from those lenses, it is imperative that we address ourselves to the critical thoughts that have not forgotten the majority of the world.

This website then, has two purposes:
1. To bring forth all the thoughts which have been critical of the ruling anti-people elites. An incisive and painstakingly critical understanding of history alone can lead us to create a better future world.

2. Critical School is perhaps variously attributed to different kinds of academic endeavors that have been elitist at their best. Many “left” thoughts have actually left out the majority of potential actors from their deliberately inaccessible scripts. Acknowledging this inherent contradiction, that of theory-buildings on behalf of people who are bereft of their knowledge, we will try our best to make critical education a tool of empowerment for the most.

Thank you for showing support, and solidarity.
