India’s oldest Socialist Weekly!
Editor: Dr. G.G. Parikh | Associate Editor: Neeraj Jain | Managing Editor: Guddi
The drumbeats of celebration that marked 20 years of Narendra Modi’s public life have to be confronted. One has to admit that when the media become an inane chorus, dissent is not easy. At such a time, I remember the dictum of my old philosophy teachers – read the silences of the regime.
Conscience is the inner voice that sustains your humanity. The author wonders how the Indian legal system treats the Narmada Dam and atomic energy as examples of sustainability. Ethics in Law Schools is treated like a hobby. We need to revitalise the subject, he argues.
Each citizen, as Havel once said about totalitarianism, must become iconic of protest from body language to symbolism. When indifference and prejudice becomes a monstrosity of legal indifference, civil society must reinvent democracy as a new politics of caring.
