Like Tagore, the scientist sought to blend an inclusive, non-jingoistic nationalism with an openness to the world.
The coup in Niger follows similar coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. Each of these coups was led by military officers angered by the presence of French and U.S. troops and by the economic crises inflicted on their countries. All three countries have opposed Western intervention in Niger.
“Aung San Suu Kyi, the iconic figure of Myanmarese politics, has been moved from prison to house arrest. This may seem a baby step, but make no mistake, the journey of a thousand steps begins with one step, as the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu had said,” says the author.
Last week’s Russia-Africa summit highlighted their shared interest to cooperate against Western dominance. While Moscow leads the fight, Africans are eager to play a role in shaping the new multipolar order.

The New Mexico site of the world’s first atomic bomb test, codenamed Trinity had been selected, in part, for its supposed isolation. Yet in reality, nearly half-a-million people were living within a 150-mile radius of the explosion. All of them have been suffering from the effects of radiation ever since.
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.
