[Imc-india] IMC and Mumbai Resistance 2004

[Harsh Kapoor]

People will have need to have a registered yahoo id and then register 
onto GloSoDia to access peters material. I imagine this is the 
hilarious and valuable recent paper that has also been published by 
opendemocracy.net among other places. [ Waterman, Peter. "Archaic 
left challenges the World Social Forum." Open Democracy (12 Nov 2003).
<http://www.opendemocracy.net/debates/article-6-91-1576.jsp> ]

Another valuable comment inspired in part by Peter's take on the MR 
etc has been written by Aditya Nigam (an independent left activist 
and scholar) the paper is available at:
http://amsterdam.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-0312/msg00066.html

I would also draw the attention of people to a recent volume
>The World Social Forum
>Challenging Empires
>An anthology of essays on the theory and practice of the WSF
>Edited by : JAI SEN, ANITA ANAND, ARTURO ESCOBAR, and PETER WATERMAN
>Published by
>The Viveka Foundation
>25-C DDA Flats, Shahpurjat

i will try to conserve some working notes on what transpires and  . . 
. .and would also request others who attend to give their own 
impressions of events in Bombay on the IMC list and hopefull in the 
coming while the india.indymedia.org will be up again so people can 
publish their stuff there too if needed

regards

Harsh
