🧠 “Wings of Death, Code of Control: Tata’s Sacred Duty to the Occupation”

Washington, D.C. — What a proud moment for Indian capitalism! The jewel of Indian industry — Tata — has finally earned its place in the pantheon of global enablers of apartheid. From salt to steel, and now from philanthropy to phosphorus bombs, Tata has proven that conscience is just bad for business.

A new report by the U.S.-based South Asian collective Salam, titled “Architects of Occupation: The Tata Group, Indian Capital, and the India-Israel Alliance,” lays it out without the usual PR perfume: Tata is “fundamentally embedded in the architecture of occupation, surveillance, and dispossession.”

That’s right — the “salt of the nation” is now the circuitry of apartheid.

🪖 The Hardware of Genocide — Now Made in India

According to the report, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) doesn’t just make airplanes — it manufactures the wings of death. The company provides parts for every new F-16 fighter jet and fuselages for all AH-64 Apache helicopters — the same machines that turn Gaza’s neighborhoods into ash and bone.

Its partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) also produces command systems for the Barak-8 missile, used by the Israeli 44. In simpler terms: every time a missile arcs over Gaza, there’s a little bit of “Make in India” pride humming inside it.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors lends its muscle too — through Jaguar Land Rover, it supplies chassis for MDT David light armored vehicles, those charming little rides that ferry Israeli soldiers through West Bank raids and “crowd control” operations (also known as beating and shooting Palestinians).

💻 Digital Apartheid as a Service

But Tata doesn’t stop at hardware. Oh no. The modern empire knows the future is digital — even for genocide.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the IT darling of India, reportedly provides critical infrastructure for Israel’s financial and governmental systems, including work connected to Project Nimbus — a cloud computing project that gives the Israeli state god-like digital power over every Palestinian phone, record, and movement.

Who needs divine omniscience when you have corporate surveillance, right?

🕴️ Philanthropy as Camouflage

Salam’s report nails it: Tata’s real genius lies not just in making war profitable, but in making it look noble.

Through its celebrated philanthropic trusts and its shiny sponsorships — like the Tata New York City Marathon — it has perfected the art of “sportswashing.” Nothing says “we care about humanity” quite like sponsoring joggers in Central Park while your components help level hospitals in Gaza.

Because nothing burns calories quite like complicity.

🌍 The Holy Trinity: Zionism, Hindutva, and Capital

The report places Tata at the heart of the India–Israel–U.S. military nexus, where moral corruption meets market expansion.
Between them, they’ve built a holy alliance of drone wings and divine right — where Zionism and Hindutva shake hands over the ruins of Gaza and the graves of Kashmir.

As the report reminds us, India has become Israel’s largest arms customer, feeding on the same logic of “security” that justifies occupation, siege, and surveillance.
And Tata — with its factories, code, and capital — has become the elegant bridge between two apartheid systems, wrapped in the flag and sold as “innovation.”

🧩 The Final Irony

In India, Tata is worshipped as a moral business icon — the good capitalist who builds schools, hospitals, and dreams.
In Palestine, it helps build the drones that reduce schools, hospitals, and dreams to rubble.

A “nation builder,” indeed. Just not the nation you think.

✊🏽 #TataByeBye

Salam’s campaign calls it “a movement to expose and dismantle this war economy.”
And maybe, just maybe, it’s time the world listened — because genocide doesn’t run on ideology alone. It runs on logistics, supply chains, and polished Indian conglomerates that call their crimes “contracts.”

As Tata polishes its brand in marathons and billboards, the message of this report cuts through the gloss like shrapnel:

“The hardware of genocide. The machinery of daily oppression. The digital backbone of apartheid.
Made proudly in India.”

So yes, let’s clap. Let’s celebrate “Atmanirbhar Bharat” — self-reliant, morally bankrupt, and globally complicit.

Because when Tata runs — it’s not just marathons. It’s from accountability.

🔥 Gaza and the Grammar of Death: Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics in the Age of Engineered Survival

By Malik Mukhtar (Full-Length Version with Mbembe Quotations) There are historical moments when the ordinary vocabulary of violence collapses . When “ conflict ,” “ occupation ,” and “ security ” no longer carry the weight required to explain what is unfolding before our eyes. Gaza is one such moment — a rupture in the moral architecture of the present. It is not simply a battlefield. It is an experiment in state-administered dying , in what Achille Mbembe named necropolitic s — the transformation of political power into the authority to dictate who may live and who must die. In Necropolitics (2003), Mbembe writes: “ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides… in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics For Gaza, this is not theory. This is the daily grammar of existence. My book, Calculus of Survival: Necropolitics, Siege, and the Deionization of Life in Gaza , is situated squarely within this reality —...

The Leak That Broke the Mirror: Israel’s Moral Collapse at Sde Teiman

n R It was not the torture that shocked Israel. It was the fact that someone leaked it. Welcome to Sde Teiman — the desert detention camp that became a mirror to Israel’s moral decay, and to the world’s selective blindness. The Scene of the Crime The story begins, like most horror stories do these days, with a camera. On July 5, 2024, security footage inside the Sde Teiman military base caught what it was never meant to record: a Palestinian prisoner, blindfolded, bound, and dragged across the floor by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, the soldiers raised shields to block the camera — and behind that human wall, the real Israel revealed itself. When the shields dropped , the man lay broken: seven fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and a torn rectum so severe it required surgery and a colostomy. The anatomy of cruelty was complete. The Scandal That Wasn’t You would think such a crime would set off national outrage. But in Israel’s political universe , torture is an...

The World as Gaza: Necropolitics and the Calculus of Survival

“ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, “Necropolitics” There are philosophies that dissect history, and there are philosophies that bleed through it. Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics belongs to the latter — it is not an academic exercise, but a diagnosis of the world’s moral decay. In his words, modern sovereignty is no longer about governing life — it is about managing death . It decides who is allowed to breathe, who must suffocate, and who will exist in the space between. Nowhere is this calculus of death more visible, more technologically refined, and more ethically bankrupt than in Palestine . The siege of Gaza has transformed necropolitics from theory into geography — a place where the architecture of control and the arithmetic of survival intersect. The Right to Kill, the Duty to Let Die In Necropolitics , Mbembe extends Foucault’s biopower — the power to “...

The Science of Fear: How Islamophobia Became a Campaign Strategy

When Zohran Mamdani stood before a roaring crowd and declared, “ No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election,” he wasn’t just celebrating victory — he was delivering a eulogy for a long, poisonous political playbook. Because let’s face it — Islamophobia has never just been about prejudice. It’s been a strategy — polished, funded, and weaponized into one of the most successful vote-getting formulas in modern politics. The Machinery of Fear The arithmetic is simple — and sinister . Take a minority that makes up barely 2% of the U.S. population . Turn them into the symbolic threat for the other 98%. Feed that fear with millions of dollars , wrap it in the flag , and sell it as “security. ” According to a 2021 CAIR report , more than $105 million was funneled to just 26 anti-Muslim organizations between 2017 and 2019 — money laundered through “ mainstream charitable ” institutions. That’s not democracy in action. That’...

How to Oppose Annexation Without Actually Opposing It: The Trump Doctrine of Elegant Hypocrisy

The Art of Saying No While Handing Over the Keys: Trump’s De Facto Annexation Gift to Israel Ah yes — the era of “ principled diplomacy.” The Trump administration, that self-proclaimed guardian of “fairness” in the Middle East, will forever be remembered for its masterclass in political double-speak — a rare performance where the United States verbally opposed Israel’s annexation of the West Bank while physically laying down the red carpet for it. It’s like saying, “ Please, don’t steal the car,” while quietly tossing over the keys, disabling the alarm, and complimenting the thief’s driving skills. The Great Paradox — or Just the Great Performance? Let’s call it what it was: a paradox of diplomacy , or perhaps more accurately , a farce performed for global consumption . In words , the Trump administration urged restraint — telling Netanyahu that annexation should be “coordinated,” “negotiated,” and “timed wisely.” In reality , it was busy dismantling every legal and dip...
