I had great faith in the judiciary. Alas, I have lost it. No sensible Indian expected the topmost court to make extremely disparaging remarks against Teesta Setalvad and RB Sreekumar and accuse them of a pre-planned conspiracy to harm PM Modi! Also: “When Accused Become Innocent and Innocent are Made Accused.”
The way they have brought out the heavy artillery to keep Zubair behind bars tells us something ― that for this regime and its supporting ecosystem, he really matters.
Indians who are currently in their late teens or early twenties are unaware of the impact that events such as the Babri Masjid demolition or the Gujarat riots have had on the India that they live in. Also: Protesters Demand Release of Teesta Setalvad, Sreekumar, Seek Review of SC Order.
The triumph of Gustavo Petro and Francia Márquez, candidates of the Historic Pact, for President and Vice President, in the second round of the Colombian presidential elections is an extraordinary victory, with not only national but also continental projections.
Whether it be the nefarious design of the corporatization of the defence ordinance factories or the current move towards contractualization of army recruitment; the pseudo-nationalists are hell bent on putting the nation’s security and sovereignty on mortgage.
This year, India has been ranked lowest – 180 – in the Environment Performance Index. While the Union environment ministry has raised objections to the rankings, the lead scientist of the EPI stated that the EPI has always ranked countries on the current state of environmental conditions.
Unlike Europe, the speakers of hundreds of different languages in India agreed to belong to a single nation because the Constitution promised them freedom of expression, making it mandatory on the state to encourage languages ‘without harming other languages’.
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense in India due to global warming, does the government have sufficient measures in place to tackle the heat emergency?
Climate change is the result of a deadly calculus: human lives are worth risking and even losing over the profits of global corporations.
India’s democracy is dying in bright daylight because the media is under siege.
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.
