Landless, but with a lot of history, the peasants of Brazil’s MST have been practicing internationalism as a principle since 1984. As in their own flag, the machete overflows the borders and traces the itinerary of new possible maps.
July 19 is a day of celebration in Nicaragua: the anniversary of the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship. Ignoring the remarkable transformation that has taken place in the lives of the Nicaraguans under the Sandinista government, the international media continue to dish out lies.
Next to Burns, Shelley had the greatest influence on 19th-century working-class literature in England. His vision applies undiminished today.
Saadat Hasan Manto, born on May 11, 1912 in Ludhiana in British India, is an enduring literary icon and one of those few people that both India and Pakistan see as their own. However, in reality, Manto belonged nowhere, even whilst his art is poignantly treasured on both sides of the border.
‘For a common Indian like me, you are the embodiment of courage and strength. You give me hope because your pursuance of justice, despite the odds, has been exemplary.’; Also – ‘The Hard Hearted State’ by Sankara Narayanan.

The CCTV network, paired with facial recognition technology, an ever-expanding database of biometric information and a willing police force, has the potential to monitor its citizens to a worrying degree.
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.
