India’s oldest Socialist Weekly!
Editor: Dr. G.G. Parikh | Associate Editor: Neeraj Jain | Managing Editor: Guddi
Just as trade unions prepare to (virtually) celebrate the May Day this year, a number of state governments have passed amendments to the Factories Act, 1948 reversing the very origins of May Day – the right to an 8-hour working day. Are the amendments lawful?
May Day’s roots lie not only in the great U.S. Eight Hour strikes and marches of 1st May 1886; it also has different and older, “green” roots.
Prominent activists, intellectuals, academicians release an online petition for signatures from people to mount pressure on the government to tax the rich to finance much needed relief measures and improvement of health services.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
