Radicalism, the Prime Minister should know, is born in the perceived absence of a conscience in those who control the levers of the Indian State. Radicalisation is suicidal for the weak—and Muslims certainly know that. It is also suicidal for India.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Pope Francis in the Vatican on 30 October the four gifts which Pope Francis gave PM Modi are extremely significant: they are parables!
Rammanohar Lohia embodied some noble aspirations for his country and represented an important strand of opinion in Indian political life. And in the socialist movement, his was the decisive influence at many critical turning points.
The public humiliation of one of the most sought after Muslim men in India is aimed at appeasing the injured manhood of those who suffer from the sense of sexual inferiority cultivated for over a century by Hindutva groups.

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.
