Farmers are uniting and protesting as never before in India. They are ignoring the caste, religious, and class boundaries that normally divide them. Prime Minister Modi planned to encircle the farmers. But the farmers are now encircling his government.
Press Statement: Young environmental activists, that the country should be proud of, are the latest victims of the Centre’s continuing efforts to deligitimise the ongoing farmers protest and the nationwide solidarity it has generated. We demand that Disha Ravi be immediately released.
Except for stoking communalism, such laws will only reduce dwindling bovine populations, as farmers have nowhere to go to sell their older cows and buffaloes, thus reducing their ability to rear them.

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.
