Today, it rained in Delhi.
Tonight, the rains would wash the stains
Of blood on the streets filled with pain.
The earth would absorb the red
And little green grass would spread
Over this patch which filled the anguish
Of ribbons of peace of millions of others.
A storm will emerge tomorrow
The big trees may collapse with that storm
And the little grass would embrace the earth
Remaining unaffected,
Fearlessly forever !

The tendency of the human mind, whether fighting for personal territory or fighting for justice, is to create an enemy: self vs the other, us vs them, good vs evil. In our times, which seem more divided than ever, Kabir invites us to look beyond easy binaries.
Tagore’s words, “Be on watch, India” and asking people “to stand before the proud and the powerful/ With your white robe of simpleness”, are of greater relevance today, when the arrival of 2024 is being celebrated, than when he composed those words to mark the advent of the year 1900.

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.
