THE NEMESIS :A great leap forward, a long-awaited liberation and indeed a revolution! Last year when the Narsimha Rao government launched its propaganda blitzkrieg to present its sellout to the IMF as a veritable national nirvana, our booklet was a stubborn attempt at calling their bluff.
On the first anniversary of the Structural Adjustment Programme as the goons of globalisation continue vandalising decades of hard-won Indian sovereignty, we are back with the second edition of the booklet.
We have added four new chapters besides updating figures and facts. Also included is a pullout of a snakes-and-laddersgame which symbolises the struggle of the common Indian ‘consumer’ to survive the onslaught of the ‘snakes’ lurking at every step.
Our first attempt at questioning, criticising and even lampooning the new economic policies had received an inspiringly enthusiastic response. We would like to thank all those who helped make this booklet possible and its sale successful.

THE GENESIS :Over two centuries after a motley caucus of treacherous princes, merchants and feudal lords sold the subcontinent to the British, their present-day progeny have done one better by selling the nation to the entire world. The new economic order being ushered in by the Congress(I) government as part of the IMF package can be described as nothing else but a blueprint of mindless economic and political self-destruction wrought on the nation by a bankrupt ruling class. Here in this booklet, the Indian People’s Front exposes the disastrous implications of the new economic package for Indian sovereignty and democracy and presents the radical way out.
