On Constitution Day, we need to ask whether we, as a people, have proved equal to the expectations that it has from us. We need to ask why people who tried to emulate the ideals of that living document are in jail and how others are in positions to extinguish its spirit.
A concept note on ‘India: Mother of Democracy’ entirely erases the actual spirit and principles of the Indian constitution. Instead, it audaciously pushes an openly Hindu supremacist narrative.
Nehru consistently warned, right from the days of the freedom struggle, that conflating communalism and nationalism was the real danger to India.
The corporate sector is doing well. But the corporates represent only a few thousand businesses out of the crores operating in the country. Ninety-nine percent of the businesses are in the unorganised sector and reports suggest that they are declining.
When the RTI Act came into force in 2005, it was hailed as a law which would make governments transparent and accountable, and empower citizens.

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.
