Open Letter to Mr. Rahul Gandhi: Unlike the divisive, hateful, and violent monologue of the ruling dispensation, your Bharat Jodo Yatra is going to spread the seeds of unity, love, nonviolence, and dialogic engagement with all sections of our country. Also: Govt Facilitating Corporate Loot, Says Rahul Gandhi.
In his August 15 speech, Prime Minister Modi sidestepped demands on the government to deliver on its promises and instead laid great emphasis on citizens fulfilling their duties. The Orwellian new name for Delhi’s Rajpath adds to this push.
The years of high growth have done little to improve a dismal employment picture, and the conditions of work only deteriorated after those heady growth days came to end. The jobs crisis is real. Also: The jobless rate crossed 8% yet again.
Recent reports say that the government scheme of giving dry ration to 800 million Indians is set to continue for another three months. In the absence of any official estimate, this is the closest official estimate for the numbers of those who are living below the poverty line.
The top court will soon have to answer whether the government’s decision to provide reservations solely on an economic basis violates the basic structure of the Constitution.
Though her assassins and their backers succeeded in killing her, they have failed to silence her.

The unprecedented floods have caused a huge loss to the Pakistan economy. Yet the country’s external debts and payments make it almost impossible for the government to focus on relief and rehabilitation of its people affected by the devastating floods.
In an address to the Trondheim World Festival in Norway, John Pilger charts the history of power propaganda and describes how it appropriates journalism in a ‘profound imperialism’ and is likely to entrap us all, if we allow it.
While the western media is celebrating the Ukrainian military’s current “counteroffensive” near Kharkov, the facts on the ground appear to be very different. Over time, Kiev may have little to celebrate about.
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.
