While Putin’s actions are a reaction to the events of the past three decades, they do not justify the invasion of Ukraine. Neither is the resurrection of the institutions of global militarism (such as NATO) justified, that have contributed so much to the creation of the problem. The popular movement for peace needs to be rekindled.
India is actually known as the disease capital of the world. It probably accounted for a quarter of the total corona pandemic deaths. The reason for India’s health crisis—which became so evident to everyone during the second covid wave—is the dismal state of our public health system.
The burning train on February 27, 2002 – and the lies and false narratives built around it – kept Narendra Modi in power in Gujarat, and started him on the road to becoming the prime minister of India.
Finally, the Nepali parliament has ratified the USD 500 million grant deal with US agency Millennium Challenge Corporation. This was preceded by massive protests by political parties that are opposing the government’s deal, viewing it as a threat to Nepal’s sovereignty.
Germany’s military build-up is a poignant issue in European politics, and what trajectory it will take once the dust settles, only time can tell.
The rich traditional and cultural values of adivasis needs to be protected, sustained and nurtured. If adivasis are forcibly evicted from their homelands, if their culture is destroyed, the forests cannot be saved. There will not be any biodiversity left for future generations and the world will collapse.
Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest IPCC report, released on 28 February 2022.
Climate justice activists encounter a quandary in India. It is currently the third largest emitter of carbon in the world, behind China and the United States. On a per capita basis, however, India emits only 1.7 tons, which places it far behind the United States (14.4), China (7.1), France (4.3), or even Thailand (3.6).
Climate change impacts will continue to increase, reducing the window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future, if drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are further delayed, a new report warns.
As the BJP pulls out its old tactics of creating a spectacle of an emergency, the students returning from Ukraine have seen through the fraud and refused to play ball.
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.
