THE recent US-India trade deal is an unequal treaty akin to those imposed on semi-colonies in the 19th century, Indian communists charge.The deal announced on February 6 has provoked uproar in India, and revoking it was a demand of India’s one-day general strike a week ago. Organisers say 300 million people took part in events related to the February 12 walkout, though it is unclear if as many took industrial action as in the 2020-21 Indian general strike, whose 250m participants made it the largest in history so far.
