The supply of Covaxin—one of the world’s cheapest vaccines by investment but among the costliest in the market—is marred by shortages. The financial details of the deal are secret, production capacity is unclear and royalties to the government are likely underpaid.
The anti-India popular outbursts in Bangladesh, soon after the liberation of the country (that was brought about through the military intervention of the same India), need to be understood in the context of the complicated relationship between the liberators and the liberated.
Had he lived longer, Sukanta Bhattacharya could obviously have given us much more, but we should be grateful for what he left behind.

In 2020, when COVID-19 halted trade and ravaged businesses across the country, as many as 11,716 businesspersons died by suicide, a 29% jump from 2019 when 9,052 businesspersons had taken their own lives, found latest data from the National Crime Records Bureau.

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.
