The city where thousands come seeking moksha (salvation) has been swamped by deaths in the second surge of COVID-19. From end March to early May, Varanasi has had to accommodate more dead than the powers that be are ready to admit.
A musical rendition of Asokan edicts rekindles interest in the ethical values ingrained in them and the Mauryan emperor’s vision of a humane society. Also: an interview with T.M. Krishna.
A committee formed by the Central government to study India’s ancient past draws criticism from scholars and politicians who raise doubts about the agenda it seems set to pursue.
Bombay High Court quashes the FIRs against 29 foreigners and six Indian members of the Tablighi Jamaat and chastises the police for “non-application of mind”, hopefully drawing the curtain on the sustained vilification of the largest Muslim organisation in 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.
