Press Statement: The Chamoli avalanche flood of 7 February is starkly reminiscent of the Uttarakhand flood of 2013 and is a strong indicator of the impending high risks associated with reckless development of such fragile mountainous regions.
Farmers are uniting and protesting as never before in India. They are ignoring the caste, religious, and class boundaries that normally divide them. Prime Minister Modi planned to encircle the farmers. But the farmers are now encircling his government.
Paradoxically the prime minister who talks of Atmanirbhar Bharat is doing exactly the opposite in striking at its very root by privatising the public sector enterprises and pursuing neo- liberal policies which would make India critically dependent on international finance capital.
Platforms like NewsClick and the people involved in running it take risks because they want to make the freedom of expression substantive.
Press Statement: Young environmental activists, that the country should be proud of, are the latest victims of the Centre’s continuing efforts to deligitimise the ongoing farmers protest and the nationwide solidarity it has generated. We demand that Disha Ravi be immediately released.
Ravi is a 21-year old who volunteers with Fridays for Future, a movement started by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Except for stoking communalism, such laws will only reduce dwindling bovine populations, as farmers have nowhere to go to sell their older cows and buffaloes, thus reducing their ability to rear them.
Over the past week, Myanmar’s citizens are openly and publicly challenging the country’s powerful military, whose coup earlier this month now threatens to stifle the country’s fledgling democracy.
Military analyst Daniel Ellsberg estimates that in the event of a totally successful American nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, with no retaliation whatsoever, at least 99% of the world’s population would die as a result.
In each of the domanins of race, caste, and gender, Gandhi, over the course of his life, discarded the reactionary prejudices he once held to embrace more egalitarian positions.
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.
