On August 26, as a part of a new national strike, thousands of Colombians took to the streets across the country in rejection of a new tax reform bill promoted by the national government and in support of the ten bills presented by different sectors last month.
Sahgal is referring to the struggle for freedom under Mahatma Gandhi. He brought together people in a way that cut across religion, region, class, gender. Bringing together this rich diversity into a strong political unity that overthrew the British Empire was an extraordinary achievement.
A much repeated course of events: More than a generation ago, Afghanistan won its freedom, which the U.S., Britain and their “allies” destroyed.
For decades, the American political class has intervened relentlessly and recklessly in countries whose people they hold in contempt. Once again they are being aided by America’s credulous mass media, which is uniformly blaming the Taliban victory on Afghanistan’s incorrigible corruption.
Both the strengths and limitations of early post-independence policies in Africa offer a wealth of lessons for today’s struggles for control over Africa’s resources. The clarity in that period around the importance of African state control over natural resources offers a path forward for contemporary efforts.
It must be remembered that at no place in eastern Ladakh has the status quo ante prior to May 2020 been restored.

Success of the U.S. in its hybrid war against Cuba would be a huge step forward for the U.S. in its fight against national independence in Latin America and the world, and in the new cold war against China. And hence the situation in Cuba is the key to the situation in Latin America today.
The real reason why the US dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to prevent the Soviets from making a contribution to the victory against Japan, which would have forced Washington to allow Moscow to participate in the postwar occupation and reconstruction of the country.
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.
