Lakshadweep: When the Gujarat Model Steamrolls an Island Paradise; At the Heart of Lakshadweep ‘Shock Therapy’ Lies a Policy to Grab Land; Press Release by concerned citizens of Thiruvananthapuram.
Israel has now come to serve as something of a model for the kind of society the current rulers of India want to build.
India began to align with the anti-Iran regional front that Trump was sponsoring, involving Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and with Washington’s Indo-Pacific strategy against China. With Trump losing the election, and Biden deciding to engage with Iran, India is getting sidelined in the region.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is built on infrastructure-driven economic growth and is based on land and resource grabbing. Pakistan is chasing the myth of agricultural modernisation and industrialisation which has caused much destruction in many other places in the world.
The reason for the Indian govt’s abysmal failure to tackle the second Covid wave lies in the fact that the Indian Republic – built as it is on the edifice of the British colonial state – is designed to work only on behalf of a tiny minority of Indians, leaving the vast majority to fend for themselves.
In April, the Indian government signed a MoU with Microsoft, allowing its local partner CropData to leverage a master database of farmers. It seems to be part of the AgriStack policy initiative, which is going to displace farmers from their lands and enable corporations to gain control over Indian agriculture.
The more the government tries to tighten its grip on dissent by cutting out all communications and shutting genuine dialogues, the more are the new bonds being created by the farmers’ movement. Many flowers may be cut, but Spring can no longer be prevented from coming.
The farming community along with common citizens would hoist black flags on their homes, tractors and vehicles and burn the effigy of PM Modi in villages, farmer leaders said.
Narwal sahib deserved to live. To see his daughter free. Not on bail. Free. With apologies from the Indian state. Plus: “The Law Sees ‘Terror’ in Blocked Road, Not Patients Gasping for Oxygen”.
Almost 170 years ago, the people of this country, belonging to all religions, regions and strata, rose in revolt from Kashmir to Madras and Sylhet to the borders of Afghanistan, against British colonial rule. Our rulers have allowed this glorious saga of commitment and sacrifices to be forgotten.
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.
