If only we could see ourselves just as human beings in all the richness that term describes. We are all part of the human community. We contain multitudes, as Walt Whitman said.
The far right continues to grow in Europe, with extremist parties gaining ground in Italy, France and Sweden.
The ongoing plunder of Africa’s natural resources drained by capital flight is holding it back yet again. More African nations face protracted recessions amid mounting debt distress, rubbing salt into deep wounds from the past.
Veer Narayan Singh (1795-1857) is remembered today as a great freedom fighter of Chattisgarh and India who sacrificed his life fighting colonial rulers. However there is more to his valiant life that we need to remember, in particular his combination of great courage and concern for his people.
Mahatma Gandhi consistently maintained that India ought to be a Republic. Dr BR Ambedkar and Nehru carried forward the Republican sentiment, which is confronting an existential crisis today on account of majoritarianism, growing inequality and criminalising of dissent.

The sharp and apparently intriguing fall in industrial production in October, and feeble post-Covid recovery, points to a deep-rooted malaise in the Indian economy.
There is a growing need to discuss the constitutional immunity to reservations that the private sector has enjoyed, even as it has deepened caste cleavages in India.

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.
