NEW DELHI, NOVEMBER 5 Like the smell of revolution first thing in the morning? The India Social Forum 2006, the India chapter of the World Social Forum (WSF), alternative to its gigantic capitalist rival, the World Economic Forum held annually at Davos, is set to stir its anti-globalisation, -imperialism, -Bushism, -consumerism, -militarism, -hegemonism, -homogenisation, -racism, -sexism,-Cokeism hyperbole, to offer its version of an alter-globalised world.
The five-day carnivalesque spectacle starting November 9 in Delhi (the WSF has often been described as the Carnival of the Oppressed) expects over 50,000 people from all over the country and Asia and Africa, and will have over 500 conferences, seminars, public meetings and assemblies of people, marches, rallies, films, songs, dances, global and indigenous food, and plays.
