If we think with Gandhi, then we can come to nonviolence only after passing through two other terms first – courage and evil. An account of nonviolence that does not spring from an understanding of courage and evil runs away from what is most thought-provoking in Gandhi.
This article is an attempt to enthuse readers to make a more careful reading of our nation’s primary document, the Constitution, the Song of India.
This article is an attempt to bring forth the ecological and environmental disasters that await over a fragile ecosystem, as a consequence of the new rules and regulations of the recently appointed administrator of Lakshadweep, Praful Khoda Patel.
The ending of autonomy in Kashmir reconstituted a conflict that was politically frozen in many ways for decades and has set it off in directions that can increase Washington’s diplomatic costs in the region.
The claim of Indians that they respect all religions does not square up with their attitudes towards religious communities to which they do not belong.
As we stand at the intersection of freedom and state control, the judiciary is the only hope. Though that hope has also faded in recent years, our challenge is to not give up the Sisyphean fight to set governmental authoritarianism at naught.
Every civilised country grants dignity, rights and protection to citizens regardless of identity. It is about time India does so too. For this, it is important that LGBTQIA+ leaders enter electoral politics because without political power their pride will always be challenged.

Just as the USA declared a Cold War against the Soviet Union and China in the 1940s-50s, as part of a grand strategy to secure its global hegemony in the immediate post-Second World War era, today it is declaring a New Cold War on China in the interest of maintaining that same imperial hegemony.
Once upon a time, who could have imagined that humanity would inherit the kinds of apocalyptic powers previously left to the gods or that, when we finally noticed them, we would prove eerily unable to respond?
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.
