More than 1,200 demonstrations sponsored by over 400 activists’ groups took place on March 5 in all 50 states of the USA to protest Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s dismantling of the government that is sacrificing the needs of working families to the greed of right-wing oligarchs.
‘Sukhdev Thapar: The Shadowed Intellectual of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association’; ‘Comrade Bhagat Singh, in This India, You Too Would Likely be Branded an Anti-National’.
India today is far from the democratic ideal envisaged by the man who chaired the drafting committee of the Constitution.
One million people mobilized in the City of Buenos Aires … the march on February 1st was a massive and distinct call that sprang from an anti-fascist and self-convened assembly, and that multiplied throughout the country and the world.
In the words of activist Harsh Mander, a prominent target of the regime, the “election results of 2024 have not erased the dangers of fascism. The cadres of the Hindu Right remain powerful and motivated.”
‘Salaam, Indian Voters!’; ‘A Stunning Rebuke to Narendra Modi’s Divisive, Anti-Muslim Rhetoric’; ‘A Clear Message’: Rejecting communal politics, India’s voters have reaffirmed faith in secularism, federalism, and scientific temper.
In the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, given the absence of any explicit political wave, nobody can really tell which way the verdict will go. But irrespective of the outcome, there are clear signs the country is entering a new, more turbulent era and also one shifting away from the politics of the recent past.
The lies. The packs of lies—deliberate, filthy, and deadly. And they keep going. As if the world owes Israel and its “most moral army in the world” something—after it massacred more than 35,000 Palestinians in six months.
BJP’s subversion of the electoral process and Modi’s communal rhetoric undermine credentials of democracy in India. It is time to use the only democratic weapon people have, the vote, responsibly.
India celebrates the 75th Republic Day on January 26. On this day, 75 years ago, in 1950, the Constitution pledged equality, regardless of gender, caste, religion, class, community or language. It is a fitting time to revisit this poem by Rabindranath Tagore on his vision of a truly liberated India.
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.
