Following Ramsay MacDonald’s Communal Award, designating separate electorates for ‘untouchables’, Gandhi began a fast unto death which culminated in the signing of the Poona Pact. The diary of Mahadev Desai, Gandhi’s personal secretary, offers an honest window into the days leading up to this decision.
A glacial lake overwhelmed a dam in the Indian Himalayas earlier this week, in one of the worst disasters in the area in nearly half a century. The dam breach had long been predicted by scientists and environmental advocates due both to the climate crisis and inadequate regulations.
Both the top (Switzerland) and the bottom (Antarctica) of the world hit record high temperatures, simultaneously. There’s no known record of this ever happening before. Also: A study published in the scientific journal Nature found that two out of every five amphibians are threatened with extinction.
Here are five important facts to remember as the biggest and best-financed military in the Middle East “defends itself” against a blockaded refugee camp of 2.3 million people. Also: “Horrific. Unjustified. Morally Wrong. But ‘Unprovoked’?”.
While employing the rhetoric of peace, the United States arms, trains and gears up Israel and Arab Gulf autocrats for war, with Iran as the target. America has helped Israel build one of the strongest militaries in the world. Israel is the world’s only unacknowledged nuclear power.
One of the most ambitious and combative labor struggles in decades, the UAW strike reflects the growing power of the U.S. working class in a period of increasing political crisis. Also: “Largest Healthcare Strike in US History Begins as Kaiser Workers Revolt”.
The IMF programme in Sri Lanka is devastating the common people of Sri Lanka, especially the most vulnerable and marginalised among them.
A massive western media barrage was to be expected caricaturing the election result of the runoff in the Maldives presidential poll in binary terms as China’s “gain” being India’s “loss”. Both assumptions about Muizzu are deeply flawed.
Google is what it is today – indeed, exists in the first place – due to funding and sponsorship from the CIA and NSA. That history has not only gone untold by the mainstream media, it has been systematically suppressed by the company, and the spying agencies involved over the past 25 years.
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.
