The Meiteis, Pangals, and Kukis of Manipur, all extended support to the INA and its struggle. The Naga people were not an exception either. This legacy of unity and amity was sadly lost in independent India. Instead, the North East, including Manipur, became the country’s chronically restive region.
‘Extreme Weather in India: A Disaster Nearly Every Day’: India has seen a disaster nearly every day this year – from heat and cold waves, cyclones and lightning to heavy rain, floods and landslides. Also: ‘US Has Faced a Record 23 Billion-Dollar Extreme Weather Disasters in 2023’.
The COP28 summit taking place in Dubai from 30 Nov to 12 Dec is a colossal illusion. The delusionary effect is that the capitalist system is capable of reforming itself sufficiently to prevent global climate catastrophe, even as all the evidence points to the opposite conclusion.
‘Despicable Derailment of UN Climate Negotiations’: There is nothing to suggest that COP28 will manifest anything other than another failure of the UN climate negotiations. Also: “The world’s top 1% of emitters over 1,000 times more CO2 than the bottom 1%.” – this is not from Oxfam, but the International Energy Agency.
Phase One of Israel’s genocidal campaign on Gaza has ended. Phase Two has begun. It will result in even higher levels of death and destruction.
The fair treatment of Israeli captives by Hamas has become part of the information war between Palestinians and Tel Aviv. Left unsaid is that there remain thousands of Palestinians in captivity who barely survive their Israeli detention. Also: ‘Hugs, Smiles Were Enough to Take Israeli Propaganda Down’.
A good part of the responsibility for Massa’s defeat lies with Alberto Fernandez, a lukewarm and mediocre president, who leaves a balance of more than 18 million people in poverty, and who wanted to govern alone, leaving aside the historical leadership of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
A crackdown on undocumented migrants is forcing thousands back to uncertain fates in Afghanistan, and ratcheting up tensions between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban.
Beyond the traditional anti-mining movement, the protests have been effective in swaying or crystalizing public opinion against mining, even among some pro-extractive sectors. Indeed, the mobilizations may be labeled paradigm-changing.
Pan-Africanism is back. Considered in isolation, it risks becoming an empty signifier. But alongside Marxism, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for liberation that African and Afrodiasporic people have at their disposal.
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.
