Ram Madhav of RSS stated that if they are called Adivasis, then it will mean that others have come from outside. According to the ideology of Madhav and his organization, we (Hindus) are all original inhabitants of India. Presentation of this narrative has deeper political implications.
Gandhi succeeded in uniting all people of all religions. This was because he saw religion as morality, as values. He learnt from all religions. One of his core beliefs was from Jesus Christ: the doctrine of love; love not only for your neighbour but also for your enemy.
Events of the last few days indicate AAP and BJP worship Ambedkar purely for electoral gains and not from commitment to his ideas.
The Jalore tragedy represents our failure to reform. Discrimination and exclusion persist in their most severe forms, which cannot happen without institutional neglect, even condonation.
As we celebrate the birth centenary of Tukaram (Annabhau Sathe) we not only see the relevance of his writings at that time but even today.
While rejecting the Sri Narayana Guru float submitted by Kerala, the central government suggested replacing Narayana Guru with Shankracharya – this only displays the deeper agenda of the central government, which is working towards Hindu Rashtra in particular.
The threat of a declining Hindu population and growing minority numbers lacks a basis in logic and facts.
The RSS and its political progeny, the BJP, pose to be associating with Dalits while their policies are meant to subjugate this community. Their policies are detrimental to the all round conditions of Dalits, including their economic conditions.
The events of the last few decades and more so of the last six years show the rising intimidation, marginalisation and increasing fear among Muslim minorities.
The success of right wing forces to increase their clout through the Ram Temple campaign may prompt them to go in this direction, which is detrimental to the progress and development of the country.
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.
