Prescience is often lacking in India’s West Asia strategy. This is not a region for one-dimensional men. It has been a strategic mistake to be aligned to the US and its allies in the Indian Ocean under the rubric of ‘maritime security’.
In 2023 the Constitution was challenged as being colonial and outdated. Bibek Debroy’s opinion piece was product placement, a warning of things to come. The aim behind these suggestions is to facilitate Central “executive efficiency”, governance involving “law and order, and swift dispute resolution”.
The Bharat Nyaya Yatra from Manipur to Mumbai, led by Rahul Gandhi, is set to begin on 14 January 2024. It promises to mobilise people by reaffirming their faith in the lofty goals of the Constitution: its ideas of social, economic and political justice.
‘Can Rahul Gandhi overcome his somewhat bourgeois hesitation to shake up his party organisation, to take some robust risks and show himself as hungry for power? I mean, a good hungry, you know, like after a long walk?’
The shrine in Ayodhya will be a symbol of religious triumphalism, a sign that this is becoming ever more a Hindu-first country.
21 demands that India needs to act on to resolve the growing crises of unemployment, malnutrition, social conflict, ecological collapse and decline in democratic rights.

In upholding the removal of J&K’s special status and its downgrading, the SC has imperilled the rights of States and weakened the limits on the Union’s power; Also: ‘The Last Pillar of Indian Democracy Has Fallen’; and: ‘The Supreme Court’s Article 370 Judgment Is Injustice Writ Large’.
Delivering the Smt Bansari Sheth Endowment Lecture, the judge noted that four “most disturbing” things have happened in the country this year itself. He also was severely critical of the Supreme Court’s recent judgement on the Centre’s J&K decision.
In their second drafts too, the character of the Bills remains fundamentally anti-democratic. A few modifications proposed, however, are noteworthy.
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.
