23rd Anniversary of Indigenous Resistance Day of Venezuela
is remarkable of Republicism to the theme of Bolivar International - by Dr. M Jahangir khan------------------------------
Indigenous Resistance Day is celebrated on October 12th in Venezuela to honor the heroes of anti-Spanish resistance and appreciate Venezuelan indigenous cultures and history. The day highlights the struggle of the original inhabitants of America and their efforts toward
liberation and appreciate Venezuelan indigenous cultures and history. Did you know that the Norse were the first to step foot in the Americas and establish a settlement? Venezuela, officially known as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a country on the northern coast of
South America. It consists of 23 states, including the Capital District and federal dependencies covering Venezuela’s offshore islands. Indigenous Resistance Day in Venezuela was previously
Día de la Raza — Day of the Race — which is synonymous with Columbus Day. But that didn’t sit well with the locals and was changed to the latter in 2002.
Bolívar, a key figure in South American independence, is strongly as, is considered an internationalist for his vision of unity and cooperation among newly formed nations. He aimed to create a united Latin America, promoting mutual defense, economic cooperation,
and political unity through the Amphictyonic Congress of Panama.
Bolivar's Internationalist Ideals:
Pan-Americanism:
Great Simon Bolivar envisioned a united Latin America, free from foreign intervention and strong enough to protect itself.
The Amphictyonic Congress of Panama (1826):
This congress, inspired by the ancient Greek amphictyonies, aimed to establish a league of Latin American nations for mutual defense, economic cooperation, and political coordination.
Gran Colombia:
While not a pan-American union, the creation of Gran Colombia (comprising Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama) demonstrated Bolivar's belief in regional integration and
cooperation.
"The Letter from Jamaica":
This document, written in 1815, outlined Bolivar's vision of a united Hispanic America, including the need for a conference of representatives to address common challenges.
Why Bolivar's Vision Matters:
Addressing Regionalism:
Bolivar recognized the challenges of fragmentation and sought to overcome them through integration.
Protecting from Foreign Powers: He believed that unity was crucial to resist European powers
and the United States.
Economic Cooperation: Bolivar advocated for trade and economic alliances to reduce
dependence on foreign markets.
Legacy of Unity:
His vision continues to inspire regional integration efforts in Latin America, such as the Mercosur trade bloc and the Andean Community.
Created in 1978, the purpose of the prize is to reward an activity of outstanding merit in accordance with the ideals of Simón Bolívar (1783-1830). He was one of the most prominent political figures in the emancipation of South America from the Spanish empire for his leading
role in the independence of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela; and for his contribution to the founding processes of the present-day republics of Bolivia and Panama. Bolívar called for the freedom of slaves and the distribution of land to the indigenous people, and he proposed the Latin American Union. As a symbol of South American independence, he is referred to as the "Liberator", and his progressive ideas and emancipatory actions have inevitably made him the "Great Man of America".
It is intended to reward an activity of outstanding merit which has contributed to the freedom, independence and dignity of peoples and to the strengthening of a new international economic, social and cultural order. Such activity may take the form of intellectual or artistic creation, a social achievement or the mobilization of public opinion.
Simón Bolívar's philosophy, which championed independence and unity in Latin America, had a profound impact on the formation of several countries and organizations. He is credited with liberating nations like Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Panama from
Spanish colonial rule, and his vision of a unified Latin America continues to inspire
organizations and movements across the region.
Countries Influenced by Bolívar's Philosophy:
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Panama:
These six countries were directly liberated from Spanish control by Bolívar's military leadership and his vision of independence.
Other Latin American nations:
Bolívar's ideals of freedom and unity resonated throughout Latin America, influencing the independence movements and political development of other countries in the region.
Organizations Inspired by Bolívar's Philosophy:
The United Nations:
The UN's charter: while not directly inspired by Bolívar, the UN's goals of peace, security, and cooperation align with Bolívar's vision of a unified and independent Latin America.
The Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA):
This regional organization, formed in 2004, is named after Bolívar and aims to promote social and economic integration among its member states, reflecting Bolívar's vision of a united Latin America.
Various political movements and parties:
Across Latin America, numerous political movements and parties identify with Bolívar's ideals and work towards social justice, economic equality, and regional integration.
In essence, Bolívar's legacy extends beyond the specific countries he liberated. His vision of a free, unified, and independent Latin America continues to inspire political movements, regional organizations, and intellectual discourse across the region, influencing the development of numerous nations and shaping the identity of Latin America as a whole.
Simon Bolivar, known as «The Liberator», Bolívar is one of the most iconic and transcendental figures in the history of Latin America.
While Simón Bolívar's primary focus was the liberation of South America from Spanish colonial rule, his ideals and influence have extended beyond Latin America, particularly in the
context of international relations and social movements. However, there aren't specific,
widespread "Bolivar organizations" in Asia, Africa, and Europe in the way there are in South America. Instead, his legacy is primarily seen through:
Inspiration for Independence and Anti-Imperialist Movements:
Bolívar's struggle for independence from Spain served as an inspiration for other antiimperialist movements in various parts of the world, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries.
His emphasis on self-determination and freedom resonated with movements in Asia, Africa, and Europe that sought to challenge colonial powers.
Some scholars argue that Bolívar's ideas influenced the development of Pan-Africanism and other pan-regional movements that aimed to unite different nations and people.
Recognition in International Organizations:
The UNESCO Digital Library has recognized Simón Bolívar's ideals in its International Simón
Bolívar Prize, which recognizes activities that contribute to freedom, independence, and
solidarity among nations.
Bolívar's vision of a united Latin America, though not fully realized, has inspired discussions about continental integration and regional cooperation in other parts of the world, including Asia and Africa.
Cultural and Intellectual Influence:
Bolívar's writings and speeches, particularly his emphasis on republican ideals, have been studied and analyzed by scholars and activists in different parts of the world.
His ideas have influenced the development of political thought and social movements that seek to challenge inequality and oppression.
Bolívar's legacy is also recognized in some universities and educational institutions in different
parts of the world, particularly those that focus on Latin American studies or international
relations.
Many institutions and public spaces in South America are named after Bolívar, and his
birthday is celebrated as a national holiday in some countries.
While there aren't direct "Bolivar organizations" in Asia, Africa, or Europe, his influence is felt
through the inspiration he provided for independence movements, his recognition in international organizations, and his enduring legacy in the realm of political thought and social movements.
International Simón Bolívar prize - UNESCO Digital Library
In July 1978 the proposal to establish an International Simón Bolívar Prize was submitted to the Organization by the Republic of Venezuela. Universidad Simón Bolívar (Colombia) - It was founded in 1972 and is considered one of the most prestigious universities in Colombia. "It
seems that if the world had to choose its capital, the Isthmus of Panama would be chosen for that privileged purpose, positioned as it is in the centre.
WORLD VIEWS FROM ASIA, AFRICA AND Latin AMERICA was of course Simon Bolivar (1743-
1826): celebrated as liberator of the great continent. Bolivar had in mind tile vision of a
republican federation. Simón Bolívar and Modern Republican is concomitantly present.
Overall, Bolívar adhered to classical liberal ideals that sought the protection of natural rights
and balanced government. He led Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, and Peru to their
independence and even briefly united them as a single nation called Gran Colombia.
Bolívar's leadership and military skill led to independence for six modern-day South American
countries: Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia...
It has been said that no historical person has as many statues around the
world as Simón Bolívar, the Venezuelan hero from the Wars of
Independence. One of the statues is located in the middle of Cario - Midan
(Square) Simón Bolívar. During the recent revolution in Egypt, Bolívar- a
man from a different war, a different century and a different continent- was
revisited and embraced a symbol for the people’s struggle
Simón Bolívar, the leader of the Latin American independence movement, played a
complex and somewhat ambivalent role in relation to peasants. While he was a staunch
advocate for liberty and independence, his policies and actions towards peasants were not
always consistent with his ideals.
Bolívar's background as a member of the Criollo elite meant he had a certain degree of
detachment from the daily struggles of the peasantry. He recognized the importance of
their labor and support for the revolution, but his political and social vision was often more
focused on establishing a new political order for the elites.
Key Aspects of Bolívar's Relationship with Peasants:
? Not a Land Reform Advocate:
Unlike some modern revolutionary movements, Bolívar did not advocate for land
redistribution or major structural changes in the agrarian system. His focus was
primarily on achieving independence from Spanish rule and establishing new
republics.
? Tribute Abolition:
He did, however, abolish the colonial tribute system, which had burdened indigenous
populations with payments to the Spanish crown. This act was significant in easing
some of the economic hardships faced by peasants, especially indigenous communities.
? Military Recruits:
Peasants, particularly indigenous populations, were heavily recruited into Bolívar's
armies during the independence wars. This meant many peasants were forced into
military service, often at a personal cost.
? Potential for Social Change:
Despite his limitations, Bolívar's revolutionary ideals and the shift in power after
independence opened up the possibility for some social and economic improvements
for peasants. However, these changes were often slow and unevenly distributed.
? Post-Independence Struggles:
Even after independence, peasants continued to face challenges related to land
ownership, social inequality, and economic exploitation. The new republics, while
promising liberty, were often not as responsive to the needs of the peasantry as Bolívar
might have hoped.
Bolívar's relationship with peasants was a complex one, marked by a mix of idealism and
practical limitations. He was an advocate for liberty and independence, but his focus was
primarily on establishing a new political order for the elites, not on fundamentally
restructuring the social and economic structures that affected peasants. While he did make
some positive changes, such as abolishing tribute, peasants continued to face significant
challenges in the post-independence period.
The global trading of goods produced by peasants, particularly food crops and
raw materials, has historically played a significant role in global economies and
political dynamics. This trade, however, has also been a source of considerable
debate and struggle, with peasant communities often facing economic and social
challenges in the face of global market forces.
Key Aspects of Global Trading of Peasants:
? Historical Significance:
Peasant-produced goods have been crucial to global trade for centuries,
shaping the development of colonial and post-colonial economies.
? Food Sovereignty:
The issue of peasant rights and food sovereignty has become increasingly
prominent, with movements like La Via Campesina advocating for fair trade
systems that prioritize people's needs.
? Trade Agreements and Their Impact:
International trade agreements, such as those within the World Trade
Organization (WTO), have been criticized for negatively impacting
smallholder farmers and exacerbating inequalities.
? Unequal Exchange:
Critics argue that global trade often results in unequal exchange, with
peasants in the Global South producing goods that are traded at prices that
do not reflect their labor and resources.
? Food Security and Hunger:
While peasants are vital food producers, many face hunger and poverty
themselves, highlighting the complex challenges of food security in the
context of global trade.
? Social and Environmental Impacts:
Global trade can have significant social and environmental consequences,
including displacement of communities, land degradation, and loss of
biodiversity.
? Peasant Movements and Rights:
Peasant movements and organizations are actively working to challenge the
current trade order and advocate for policies that support the rights and
livelihoods of peasant communities.
Examples of Global Trade and Its Impact:
? Jute Production:
The jute industry in Bengal, India, illustrates how global trade can shape local
economies and impact peasant communities.
? Coffee and Cocoa:
The global trade in coffee and cocoa has generated wealth for some countries
while also contributing to poverty and exploitation in producing regions.
? Food Imports:
The import of cheap food commodities from developed countries can
undermine local markets and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in
developing nations.
Moving Forward:
There is a growing recognition of the need for a more equitable and sustainable
global trade system that prioritizes food sovereignty, peasant rights, and the
social and environmental well-being of communities. This includes promoting fair
trade practices, strengthening the rights of peasants and other rural workers, and
addressing the underlying economic and political inequalities that contribute to
the challenges faced by peasant communities.
GLOBAL INDEPENDENCE- FARMERS TO FARMERS TRADES

Farmers Rights in Bangladesh and others countries make very important to realize its
application globally. Farmers not only product commodities for national markets, International
markets several times have need to consume farmers commodities and many times farmers

grew at an average annual rate of 23 percent, or three times higher than its economic growth
for the same period. The ratio of Vietnam's total trade-to-GDP has also been widening.
With absence of farmers Rights, a vast majority of people who are not only people, they are
main producing people of the country. So, it should be strongly to enhance the advocacy.

Rural peasants who are the native natural Agro processors. Their life style is on Folk manner.
They need Agro processing technology for empowering their capability. Peasants’ students of
rural peasants’ area schools will participate the program because they are very cordial to their
