The Ramayana is projected as a battle between men—Ram and Ravana. Women here play a subordinate role; the victim is Sita. In doing so, we forget the other warrior-women we encounter in the epic, of whom at least four are on Ravana’s side, defending him.
Radical as always and original in his invention of new forms or reinvention of existing literary forms, Mahatma Phule is almost certainly the first person to employ the powada as a satire and an interrogation of Brahmin hegemony.
There can’t be democracy and colonial war; one aspires to decency, the other to fascism. Meanwhile, once welcomed mavericks are heretics now in an underground of journalism amid a landscape of mendacious conformity.
“We have failed you.”
Zionists say they do not understand why Palestinians take up arms, and that their insurgency is terrorism. Let them read their own history. Where it says Jews put Palestinians, where it says Warsaw put Gaza and where it says Nazis put Zionists. Maybe then they will understand.
‘People Across the Globe Disrupt “Business as Usual” for Palestine’; ‘The Growing Pro-Palestine Protests Are Becoming a Mass Movement’; ‘Latin America’s Solidarity with Gaza Defies US Imperialism’; ‘Why So Many Jews Denounce Israel’s War on Gaza’.

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.
