Major Indian companies are deeply invested in Israel’s occupation of Palestine, supplying critical tools for its genocidal campaign in Gaza. From Adani, Reliance, and Wipro, to Infosys, Mahindra, and Tata: Indian capitalists produce and profit from the settler war machine.
The only way forward is to target and attack the alliances between capital and genocide. As anti-imperialists and anti-capitalists, SALAM believes we must fight where we and these corporations are: right here in NYC.
The infrastructures of death built by Indian capitalists — both at home in India and abroad in states like Israel — are not only roadmaps of complicity. They are also roadmaps for action — detailed instruction manuals for where and how to strike at the facilitators of settler colonialism and genocide.
Tata must be stopped--and we will do it together.
Tata, a behemoth synonymous with Indian capitalism itself, stands out to us as a prime example of private capital’s complicity in genocide.
Tata is complicit.
They provide many components of “Israel’s” genocidal infrastructure, including: weapons, banking services to Zionist settlers, cloud computing infrastructure for the “Israeli” government and the IDF via Project Nimbus, and armored vehicles to patrol stolen Palestinian land. They have also joined forces with the right-wing government of Narendra Modi, embedding themselves into the government-run Atmanirbhar or Make in India agenda.
2. Tata lies.
Tata benefits from cultivating a false image of benevolent industrialism and philanthropic community-building, while actively engaging in the death and destruction of our communities.
3. Tata is close by.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), providing IT and banking services to the “israeli” project, has its office located at 101 Park Ave, New York and facilities in Cornell’s campus on Roosevelt Island. TATA is manufacturing the building blocks of this death machine in our neighborhoods. TCS is also the primary sponsor of the New York City Marathon.
