Just 12 months after being announced by India’s finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the raft of defence industry reforms and policies lie in tatters.
The government has enough foodgrain stocks; instead of exporting the surplus, it should universalise the public distribution system.
The RSS and its political progeny, the BJP, pose to be associating with Dalits while their policies are meant to subjugate this community. Their policies are detrimental to the all round conditions of Dalits, including their economic conditions.
The Indian government’s plans to unbundle the railways and privatise its key parts mimic the UK privatisation model. Now the UK government has admitted to its failure. India should seriously reconsider whether it should go ahead with its privatisation plans.

Mothers are in the frontlines of the struggle.
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.
