I need a plane ticket out of here by 1 November.

I’ve raised the money to buy a new passport and pay my overstay fine. Now, I need a plane ticket and I’ll be out of here as soon as I possibly can.

It’s me again, from this post. I was stuck under the ongoing military siege of Indian-Occupied Kashmir, overstayed my visa, and now I’ve been spending about 2 months raising the money to pay off those fees. This in itself hasn’t come cheap, and if I stay here much longer, I’m going to need to raise more money to make up for the cost of the hostel bill. 

I’ve arranged a place to stay in Greece, excellent location, where I’ll be living cheap until next summer. Arranged myself an immigration lawyer and it looks like it’ll be smooth sailing. Now I need to get there.

Can we raise $400 before 1 November so that I can buy a plane ticket and leave at the earliest opportunity?

$10/400

myth: After being led into India by Alexander the Great, Greeks settled in and became active participants in the Brahminical religion.

reality: After settling in India, the armies of Alexander the Great (in reality a staggeringly diverse group made of people from the modern day Balkans as well as all throughout west and central Asia), considered degraded and unfit conquerors by the Brahmins due to their lack of Brahminism and aesceticism to the extent that they actually got a caste downgrade somehow according to the Brahmins(??), converted to Buddhism, and carried it all over the world for centuries

A shocking case of self-redress in downtown Athens in the middle of the day. Two men beat to death a drug-addict who attempted to rob a jewelry shop in Omonia Square in the center of Greek capital.

A video shows the ‘thief’ coming out of the jewelry shop. He is already in obviously miserable condition, he can hardly walk or stand upright.

People have gathered outside the shop apparently waiting to see the outcome of the ‘robbery.’

The moment the thief exists the shop, the two men who seem to have been waiting for him outside, start to kick him with shocking violence.

The crowd, mostly men, do nothing to stop the violent outbreak.

The two men keep kicking the man who falls on the ground from the very first moment.

They continue to beat him mainly on his face as his head is lying over the broken window glasses of the jewelry shop. …Large parts of the society are shocked and many Greeks on social media write that also the crowd that stood by without doing anything to prevent the brutal beating should be prosecuted. As investigation continues, internet users question “why police handcuffed a dying man” and “whether paramedics offered him first aid on the spot or just took him to the hospital.” Majority of  Greek internet users condemn the brutal beating and ask “is it worth to take someone’s life to protect your assets?” “Do assets have more value than the human life?” Other wonder about the stage of the Greek society, when people take the law in their own hands.

For most of the Greek people visiting the British Museum, the first moment they step into the Greek antiquity gallery and face the Parthenon Sculptures for the first time, is a highly emotional and confronting experience. For Jim Mellas, this happened on Friday 22 June. “I’ve been to Athens many many times, I’ve been to the Parthenon and the Acropolis museum, but this was my first time in London and the British Museum,” the Melbourne-based barrister tells Neos Kosmos.

“I didn’t know what to expect, and it was raw and original. On a personal level, it was a very emotional moment. They don’t belong there, they belong in Athens.”

Despite not knowing what to expect, Mr Mellas went to the museum determined. “I have been passionate about the Parthenon Marbles and what the British did for many many years and I had decided that if I ever went to London, I was going to the British Museum first to see them and second to make some sort of protest,” he explains.

“I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do.” What he did was have a T-shirt made, sporting the slogans ‘Return the marbles’ and ‘I am Greek and I want to go home’ on the front and back. “I had seen that slogan in another campaign a few years ago,” he explains.

In the first days of summer 2018, a 9 year old Roma girl was shot in the head in front of her parents and the rest of her community.

The offender, a Greek butcher, aged 34, had allegedly come to the Roma’s camp in the city of Amfissa, Greece, to find the burglars that had some days ago invaded his butchery. He carried a gun with him and shot: the young girl died in her mother’s arms within minutes.

The man, who was caught some days later and put in detention till his trial, said he had no intentions of killing the girl, that her death was accidental. A few days after the murder, people from Amfissa could be seen outside their city’s Courthouse applauding the accused man and show him their honest support. Suddenly, the number of complicit perpetrators increased.

There are, of course the applauders and there are also those who have the sensitivity to look further than the usual cliches that accompany minorities, like the Roma. In an attempt to start shedding light to Greek Roma’s reality, AthensLive had a discussion with Dimitris Bourikos, a social worker and political scientist, coordinator of the Forum of Western Attica for Social Integration of the Roma people.
