India’s oldest Socialist Weekly!
Editor: Dr. G.G. Parikh | Associate Editor: Neeraj Jain | Managing Editor: Guddi
More than 24,000 ‘instructors’—teachers on contract—are paid Rs 7,000 per month to teach classes one to eight in Uttar Pradesh, making up 4% of government school teachers. Many now moonlight as salesmen, tailors, rickshaw drivers and workers in a state with India’s fifth lowest literacy rate.
For some villages, such as Bango, scores of people born disabled, bodies shrivelling at age 40, loss of land, property, and livelihood, are a normalised cry of pain.
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.
