Its greatest failure however, may not be in the Middle East, but in Africa.
French colonial foundations suffered a huge blow in the early 1960s. However, its main tool of the economic exploitation, the CFA franc financial system, resisted the decolonization wave. This article analyses French imperialism through a study of the CFA franc system.

Radical as always and original in his invention of new forms or reinvention of existing literary forms, Mahatma Phule is almost certainly the first person to employ the powada as a satire and an interrogation of Brahmin hegemony.
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.
