Julian Assange is a truth-teller who has committed no crime but revealed government crimes and lies on a vast scale and so performed one of the great public services of my lifetime. Do we need to be reminded that justice for one is justice for all?
It is not in India’s interests to needlessly annoy a host of countries in the region and from outside the region such as Turkey, Iran, Qatar, China, Pakistan — and even Russia. The bottomline is that the government must explain how India benefits out of this joyride in Quad-2.
How might purportedly virtuous western values have arisen? Enlightened Europeans set sail for distant shores, claimed the inhabited lands as their own, enslaved the locals, raped the women, chopped off body parts, robbed the resources, destroyed the cultures, among a host of atrocities.
The first prime minister’s legacy isn’t easy to wipe out, but the BJP-RSS will keep trying to erase it unless there is pushback.
The 2009 coup in Honduras is responsible for the deepening of the crisis and social, economic, and political chaos in the country. But today, we have an alternative: the LIBRE Party and our candidate Xiomara Castro. She is the only candidate with a plan with a social and humanistic approach.
Country-wide marches in Sudan on October 30 marked a major escalation in the mass resistance against the military coup. Protesters, who until then were mostly confined to neighborhoods, took over the main roads and highways, paralyzing all transport.
The accusation against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for “crimes against humanity” on public health grounds made by Brazilian Congressional panel – many of these crimes mimic the actions and policies of Donald Trump and could be the basis for similar actions against the former U.S. president.
Since the 1979 Sandinista revolution, the living conditions for women have drastically improved, successes which even the period of neoliberal rule (1990-2006) couldn’t completely overturn. Their material and social position has further strengthened during the second Sandinista period from 2007 until today.
By Nov. 15, Cuba will have fully vaccinated an astounding 92% of its population, thanks to Cuba’s development and production of its own vaccines. Cuba’s vaccination rate is the fastest in the world, and the only country whose children as young as two years are being covered.
The Moscow meeting of ten regional states and the Taliban officials on Wednesday has produced an outcome that by far exceeds expectations. It is also clear – the Biden administration has lost the plot.
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.
