Let us hope and trust that the future has stored a better India, with a strong democracy and complete and truthful enforcement of fundamental and constitutional rights, says the senior advocate.
Long before the BJP came into existence, nearly four decades ago, the Sangh Parivar has many times betrayed its uneasiness with the Constitution. In fact, many of the sarsangchalaks of the RSS took a public stand for scrapping the Constitution.
A right-wing, pro-government, Islamophobic wave has swept India’s films, especially from Bollywood, after 2014. Although the Tamil and Malayalam film industries, in addition to independent and documentary filmmakers, are pushing back against the trend, self-censorship and extra-judicial pressure to conform to unwritten restrictions is now routine across India.
As the BJP’s obsession with conformity gathers pace, it is challenged by India’s defiant nature and lived heterogeneity.
‘After the Fall: Hope Amid the Ruins of Post-Assad Syria’: Sudden regime collapse shows persistence of the Arab revolutions amid challenges from both local and outside forces of imperialism and reaction. Also: ‘The Lion Has Fallen!’
Not only a new administration, but a new ideology has now taken up residence at the White House: neofascism. It resembles in certain ways the classical fascism of Italy and Germany in the 1920s and ’30s, but with historically distinct features specific to the political economy and culture of the United States in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.
France is experiencing the most critical days in its post-war history. In the second round of its forthcoming elections, only two factions will face each other: the fascist far-right Le Pen’s National Rally; versus, the New Popular Front, which brings together in its ranks all the nuances of the French left.
‘Who Does June 4 Belong to?’; ‘A New Dawn’: With no one party with a clear majority, it means a return to the days of more parliamentary influence on governance; ‘Results That Give Hindutva a Jolt’; ‘Voters Force Narendra Modi to Become a Labharthi of his Allies’.
A collective of citizens and organisations together released a “charge sheet” on February 9, 2024 against the Government of India showcasing how this regime, into its second term, has subverted parliamentary democracy.
‘How Did the Muslim Vote?’: Despite being the target of the Prime Minister’s public speeches and facing continuous discrimination, the Muslim voter has voted in support of saving the Constitution and India’s democracy. Also: ‘‘A Little Less Suffocating: Why Many Muslims View the Lok Sabha Verdict with Cautious Hope”.

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.
