A study came out in December that made me cry. Written in a clinical style, nothing about the language should have impacted me in the way that it did. Put simply, the study said: every single child in Gaza feels that they are going to die. What more needs to be said? But there is more to say.
Israel and the U.S. government will continue the genocide in Gaza for many months until the Palestinians are annihilated or driven from their homeland and Greater Israel is consolidated.
Like the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s macabre novel 1984, PM Modi’s regime has waged war on truth, doctoring statistics and other indices of performance; even going to the extent of lobbying international agencies to bump up India’s position in the global rankings.
Formed with the backing of employees dismissed in 2012, the Maruti Suzuki Non-permanent Workers Sangh will seek job security and better pay.
By the end of the 1990s, both capital and a willing state had eviscerated the labour movement. The death blow will be dealt in the 2020s.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a coalition of 40+ farmers’ unions, contends that the Centre is proposing to undermine the federal rights of state governments by surrendering India’s food security and compromising its national sovereignty under the slogan ‘One Nation, One Market’.
The Central Government recently decided to abolish the “no-detention” policy for students in classes 5 and 8 in schools under its jurisdiction. The recent amendment, it is feared, may deprive a considerable section from poor and rural sections of a “Right” they seemed to be making all efforts to making maximum use of.
An analysis of the India State of Forest Report 2023 – which faced a year-long delay with no official explanation.
The primary cause of the rupee’s depreciation is the preference of the Indian rich to hold their wealth in the form of U.S. dollars rather than in Indian rupees. This gives rise to a persistent shift from rupees to dollars causing the rupee’s depreciation.
There is a saying that our dreams ought to be what define our individuality. As the English poet and philosopher William Blake put it in sharper focus, ‘No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings’. But the Modi Government’s diplomacy leaps out of Kautilya’s Arthashastra.
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.
