Jahnavi Sen The Narendra Modi government wants to know all about us—where we and our parents were born, where we live, what we do, details of our family members, our mobile numbers and so on. For a country of more than 133 crore people, that is a massive (and massively expensive) exercise. But the…
Press Release: Ham Bharat ke Log For the last one week, Uttar Pradesh is under a reign of terror. Uttar Pradesh government is employing unlawful and lethal tactics to harass and intimidate the citizens that are protesting against Citizenship Amendment Act (“CAA”) and National Register of Citizens (“NRC”). The authorities are brazenly targeting Muslims,…
Prem Shankar Jha On December 22, India reached a crossroad in its tortured journey towards nationhood. For the first time in more than five years—and 17 years, if we count his time as chief minister of Gujarat—Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a step back from a policy that he had previously committed himself to….
Dilip Simeon I write this primarily for the young protestors of today, as well as those who might be confused by the government’s (and the Sangh Parivar’s) propaganda. It is necessary to see how ill-informed, illogical and deceitful this propaganda is, because it is being propagated by responsible persons bent upon creating more tension…
Samrat Chakrabarti It began simply and without fuss. On the night that Jamia Millia Islamia was attacked, ten women walked out of their homes and onto the road next door that connects Delhi with Uttar Pradesh with a resolve not to move, come what may. These women who describe themselves as jahil and…
Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan “Jai Bhim! This is a bigger fight. CAA and NRC will break this country and we are standing with this nation. This fight is not just of the Muslims, this is a fight for everyone, and we will not let it weaken. I’m surrendering to the government, but I say this,…
Based on articles by Prabir Purkayastha, Sushovan Sircar and Yogesh S. On December 22, PM Narendra Modi, addressing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) election rally in Delhi, stated that there has been no discussion around the word NRC ever since the formation of his government in 2014. As per records, this again isn’t true….
Apoorvanand ‘The protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act at Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University have given the Bharatiya Janata Party something it always wanted. Now it has become easier for them to term the opposition to the Act as sectarian, communal and essentially Muslim.’ This is the lament of many well-wishers of…
Courtesy: Indian Cultural Forum On Monday, 9th December, around midnight, the Lok Sabha passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2019, and two days later, the Rajya Sabha too gave its approval, setting into action the Sangh Parivar vision of apartheid. This bill fundamentally changes the Citizenship Act 1955 to expedite the process of naturalisation for…
Sidharth Bhatia Over the last few years, the brutal years of Hitler’s reign have often been invoked to compare the situation in India now with Nazi Germany in the 1930s and ‘40s. Memes showing Narendra Modi as Hitler and the RSS as modern day Nazis are popular and were seen on many placards during…
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.
