India’s oldest Socialist Weekly!
Editor: Dr. G.G. Parikh | Associate Editor: Neeraj Jain | Managing Editor: Guddi
‛The Pendulum Swings: The Slow Death of Europe’s Pro-Israel Consensus’; ‛Exit Ramps from the U.S.: New Coalitions of the Willing’: As allied confidence in U.S. commitments weakens, and as Trump signals that the lack of trust is mutual, governments are increasingly searching for alternatives.
‛Gangs and Climate Change, Born in the USA’; ‛New Gangsters for Capitalism’: While most of the world (and the media) is all too reasonably focused on the ever-evolving, increasingly disastrous conflicts in Iran and Lebanon, one shouldn’t forget US aggression in Latin America.
‛The US Supreme Court, Race and the Right to Vote’: On the US Supreme Court’s demolition of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the law that brought an end to the Jim Crow system of post-Civil War legalised racial segregation. Also: ‛Supreme Court Attacks Black Voting Rights, Native Nations’; and: ‛Black Disenfranchisement Has Not Been This Intense Since Jim Crow’.
‛Finance Capital in the Age of Aggression’: With the US and Israel declaring war on Iran, profits from defence production are set to increase. But finance capital is staying away and seeking higher yields elsewhere. Also: ‛Militarised AI, Private Credit, and Iran War’.
The US-Israeli war on Iran has unleashed a massive global food crisis. China is prepared, because its state-owned enterprises maintain the largest food reserves in human history. This is how they work.
‛The Idea of the “Uyghur Genocide” and the Realities of Xinjiang’: According to the authors, there is no evidence of a policy of physical annihilation of the Uyghur peoples by the Chinese government – the hallmarks of a genocide. Also: ‛Dismissing China’s Repression in Xinjiang: A Reply to Vijay Prashad and Tings Chak’.
‛How Microplastics Threaten Marine Ecosystems and the Food Chain’; ‛Plastics: The “Terrible Debris of Progress”’: Because of the plethora of toxic chemicals added to it, plastics are now associated with the rise of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, reproductive cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
‛Venezuela’s Window of Opportunity for Economic Recovery: Buying Time to Rebuild While Under Siege’: Although progressives are rightly concerned about US-coerced compromises and concessions, it is equally important to understand the resilience of Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution. Also: ‛What Cannot Be Unlearned: The Defense of the Bolivarian Revolution’.
Passages on women from Eduardo Galeano’s most recent work, “Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History”.
‛Rabindrasangeet in Revolt: Tagore’s Songs and the Politics of Famine’; ‛Bengal Between Tagore and Majoritarianism: The Battle Between Universal Humanism and Communal Nationalism’; ‛Living with Freedom: Rabindranath Tagore and the Courage to Keep the Mind Fearless’.
