There has been a great surge of united actions by tribal communities against the Par-Tapi-Narmada River Link Project. Behind their demand is a history of much suffering caused by displacement and other problems, loss of home, forests and farmland, related to several projects in the past.
The newspapers associated with Ambedkar are repositories of vast information on the history of Dalit political activism, which is why it’s a pity that Ambedkar’s role as a journalist and editor has been largely ignored.
New Delhi needs to be clear headed and has to grasp the reality that the Ukraine conflict is a template of the Indo-Pacific strategy.
Attacks on Dalits have grown in Rajasthan since 2018. The upper castes are viewing growing assertion by scheduled castes as a challenge to caste hierarchy—a Dalit man forced to shave off moustache, others beaten for riding a mare on their wedding, Dalit women prohibited from wearing slippers.
A builder devoted to his alma mater, Shifa-ur-Rehman is one of the longest incarcerated accused in the Delhi riots conspiracy case. As we look back at the legal trajectory of his case, Rehman spoke to us from Tihar jail about the India he was born into, Islamophobia today, and the biased application of stringent laws.
As the BJP scripts victories in many states, there are lessons to be learnt on how a regional party like the BJD has repeatedly defeated the saffron party.
Filling up these posts itself would contribute to reducing the raging joblessness that has haunted India in the past several years, but the government does not seem to care.
Savarkarites are claiming that Savarkar had imagined a nation free of malevolent social evils such as caste cruelty, Untouchability, and injustice towards women. A comparison of these claims with the writings and deeds of Savarkar as recorded in the Hindu Mahasabha archives.
Bhagat Singh is widely venerated as a radical thinker and political revolutionary. However, he is seldom celebrated as a journalist; an identity that was quite intrinsic to his critical thinking, individuality and revolutionary integrity.
The long-term suffering likely to come from the environmental damage we’re causing should impel us all to call for a major diplomatic push to end the nightmare in Ukraine now. After all, if the world’s great powers don’t pull together soon on climate action, we’re in trouble deep.
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.
