The Government of India by not caring about its very own chained people being dropped down by a foreign military plane can pretend it is an ostrich, but the picture of an India shrivelled and grovelling and further trying to ‘normalise Indian hate’ tells its own story.
Behind ONOE is Narendra Modi’s striving to change the existing constitutional system in order to take advantage of his presumed popularity and establish himself in power. The nation cannot ignore the political repercussions, as far as consequences go, which will cause both a constitutional and political problem.
Students in one of India’s leading minority institutions fight for free speech. The administration has responded with heavy police deployment and invoking the law to curb demonstrations.
Earlier this month, Tamil website ‘Vikatan’ published a cartoon of Prime Minister Modi. The government’s blocking of the website without supplying any reasoning is another blow to press freedom in the country.
The Ganga and the Himalaya are sacred to millions of Indians, yet these iconic entities of veneration face unjust and unethical treatment.
Delayed reimbursement and disputes over treatment costs have impaired Ayushman Bharat, the Union Government’s flagship national health insurance scheme, with rising demand not matching its promises.
The most recent Forbes listing of the richest Americans points to a concentration of wealth never seen in US history. But it’s not just oligarchy that we should be concerned about; it is also that we are looking at a rapid movement, under President Trump, towards authoritarianism.
When individuals are forced into relentless competition for survival, they lose any sense of shared responsibility, making them more susceptible to the cruelty that defines contemporary politics.
Thousands of workers across the country hit the streets this week to declare their opposition to Trump and Musk who, under the guise of “efficiency,” are slashing and burning public services.
While Trump is operating an overtly barbarous campaign against immigrants, refugees, LGBTQ people, and other groups, the continued use of Guantánamo demonstrates that this is much bigger than just one president: the United States is a carceral-imperial state.
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.
