In August 1933, Nehru wrote a series of articles published in a pamphlet titled “Whither India?” As our country is still struggling with poverty, inequality of income and agrarian distress, this pamphlet remains as relevant today as it was 87 years ago when it was published.
The ruling dispensation’s push to homogenise culture and impose one above all others has been relentless. In this iconographic analysis, the author highlights what happens when there is an attempt to impose one culture on another.
A new mood of defiance in the Global South has generated bewilderment in the capitals of the Triad. Governments that had long been pliant to the Triad’s wishes, such as the administrations of Modi in India and Erdoğan in Türkiye (despite the toxicity of their own regimes), are no longer as reliable.
Any assessment of AMLO and MORENA must recognize the difficulties of restarting a welfare state with a dilapidated administrative apparatus and reinvigorating a working class that has been all but defeated as a collective agent.

The results of the election on May 7th to form the 51 members of the Constitutional Council who will finalize the drafting of the new Constitution represent a defeat for the government of President Gabriel Boric and for all those, not necessarily identified with left-wing parties, who believe that the 1980 Constitution should be replaced.
After Sri Lanka and Pakistan, Bangladesh has become the third country in our neighbourhood to become afflicted by a serious economic crisis.

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.
