Simón Bolívar not only advanced the ideals of the unity of Our America, he went further in this endeavor and strategically organized his entire struggle to advance with tenacity and coherence towards the creation of the Patria Grande (Great Homeland).
In 1978, at Alma-Ata (USSR), countries pledged to enhance public health infrastructure. However, they not only failed to do, they also systematically undermined it by extensively privatising health care. That is one reason why the capitalist states have not been able to handle the corona crisis.
There is something problematic with advocating a 30-hour work week at the beginning of the 21st century: a 30 hour week is not short enough!
Scientists are now discovering the extent to which aquatic animals produce sound, and the role that their grunts, pops, growls and whines play in communication.
Ever since the Modi Government has come to power at the Centre, it has mounted a fierce assault on the inherent values and directive principles of the Constitution.

In today’s climate of intolerance, the relevance of Gandhi’s last fast and his demands is ever increasing. Excerpts from Kumkum Sangari’s article, “A narrative of restoration: Gandhi’s last years and Nehruvian secularism”, first published in 2002 in the wake of the Gujarat riots.
The idea of secularism underlay the very foundations of free India. Gandhi insisted that the multiple faiths of India can and must co-exist peaceably in a free nation. This was a belief shared by Gandhi’s most prominent follower, Nehru.
The vitriol of Hindutva rhetoric is obliterating the Constitutional idea that all citizens are equal, regardless of religion.
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.
