Modi targeting Muslim community of our country in his campaign speeches have no parallel in the electoral history of independent India. Jawaharlal Nehru had warned that employing communal rhetoric for votes would put the unity and integrity of the people and country in peril.
The Bharat Nyaya Yatra from Manipur to Mumbai, led by Rahul Gandhi, is set to begin on 14 January 2024. It promises to mobilise people by reaffirming their faith in the lofty goals of the Constitution: its ideas of social, economic and political justice.
Associated with Mahatma Gandhi since 1927, he participated in the freedom struggle, was imprisoned several times, founded (with others) the Congress Socialist Party (CSP), and played a crucial role during the Quit India movement.
Vivekananda’s speech on 9/11,1893 at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago holds immense value to India of 2023, which is torn apart by sectarianism and bigotry.
The all-out assault on the autonomy of Ashoka University and its regrettable capitulation to such menacing interferences reminds one of British rule, when universities of pre-independent India were being controlled by the colonial government directly or indirectly.
The rhetorical question posed by former President KR Narayanan saved the Constitution from a previous assault. We need to raise it to ourselves and the State once again.
India’s Hindu Right continues to pursue imperial aspirations, primarily for electoral purposes.
The BJP’s defeat has proved that Modi can be beaten if influential regional leaders espouse fundamental issues of people.
Mahatma Gandhi consistently maintained that India ought to be a Republic. Dr BR Ambedkar and Nehru carried forward the Republican sentiment, which is confronting an existential crisis today on account of majoritarianism, growing inequality and criminalising of dissent.
India is confronted with a dire situation shaped by the politics of targeting and tyrannising minorities 66 years after his death.
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.
