“How Kisan Kranti Can Unite Farmers Across India”: Farmers are trying to build solidarities over issues that matter; “Farmers Campaigning on War Footing for ‘Historic’ Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar”: Farmers’ leaders are expecting participation of around two lakh farmers on Sept 5.
Camouflaged in jargon that speaks of ‘monetisation of de-risked assets’, the BJP-led NDA government has announced a plan to sell off India’s public sector assets to big private investors in return for payments of around Rs 6 lakh crore over a four year period ending financial year 2025.

Changing the names of streets, towns and districts is the easiest way of asserting power. It does not bring prosperity.
Both Bama and Sukirtharani have consistently written on the rights of women, liberation of the oppressed and the strength of humanity.

A 40-year chapter of American involvement has come to an end.

Foreign corporations have a lot of freedom in Mexico, and they are backed by trade agreements like NAFTA and USMCA that were created within very unequal power dynamics. As an activist put it succinctly, “This is nothing less than a cultural conquest.”
Gail Omvedt’s life and work was oriented to emancipate Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs, poor farming communities, religious minorities and women, who have experienced the consequences of India’s partial and distorted democracy.
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.
