India’s oldest Socialist Weekly!

Narendra Modi had once said that Indians were ‘ashamed’ of being Indians before he took over as prime minister in 2014. So here’s a list of the reasons why we were proud of being Indian before his rule.
Perhaps we Indians may learn from the example of our beloved Israelis, and wake up to the unabashedly voiced desire to curtail the highest judiciary.
A poem.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ seeks to bring home to us the loss we are experiencing, and recalls us to a moral and systemic commitment that our leaderships prior to the era in hand had forged and nursed. Also: ‘Puja Versus Tapasya’: Why Rahul Gandhi’s Formulation Has Meaning.
In spite of touted claims of communal oneness between them and the ruling dispensation, now is the hour of their severest disillusionment.
The powers-that-be have gone through a range of administrative and political contortions to ensure, before any elections happen, that the ruling party will win.
It is an impoverishing thing to seek to reduce Hinduism to a monochromatic imperative dictated by the politics of the day.
Rahul Gandhi said many important things on the economic, political, and cultural state of the nation – all that with an acuteness of formulation and focus which bespoke many hours of reading and corrective cogitation.
With Rahul Gandhi’s boldly informed enunciation of the difference between being Hindu or Hindutvadi in his address to a massive gathering at Jaipur on December 12, the Congress party may have ceased to walk over egg shells.
Where mobs flail to a tune set into motion by some dog-whistle, refuse reasoned debate, take recourse to abuse, vilification, threat, and finally, the strong arm, democratic mass actions bank on the power of knowledge.
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.
