The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ seeks to bring home to us the loss we are experiencing, and recalls us to a moral and systemic commitment that our leaderships prior to the era in hand had forged and nursed. Also: ‘Puja Versus Tapasya’: Why Rahul Gandhi’s Formulation Has Meaning.
Aseemun’s repertoire, with its easy mix of folk, ritual, spiritual and pious, bespoke a syncretic tradition that is fast becoming anachronistic in India.
Statements come at a time Bollywood, once celebrated for its inclusiveness and secular moorings, has come under siege from the Rightwing ecosystem.
Apart from the warmth with which Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra has been received in the south of the country, Mallikarjun Kharge’s election as Congress president also opens the way for more equitable alliances with other opposition parties.
Netaji was very clear that religion had no place in public life and could not be used to unite Indians.
As Rahul and others in this yatra are walking, passing through villages and towns, listening to ordinary people, it feels like a beginning of change.
Southeast Asia’s past and present reflect a civilisational maturity that is in stark contrast to those who speak of ancient India’s spiritual ‘legacy’ overseas while stoking an ugly communal divide at home.
Several writers write about their perspectives on the last 75 years and their hopes for the future.
Gandhians are facing an unprecedented challenge today. Their world-view, icons, agenda of nation-building, institutional set-up and campaigns and programs are being challenged from all sides by a Hindu-centric political force.
States like Delhi (despite its unique multi-party governance architecture), West Bengal, Kerala (or even Goa and Sikkim) perform better compared to UP when it comes to being measured for securing access to basic social, economic services.
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.
