President Gustavo Petro’s Historic Pact government, in power since 2022, is a first in Colombia’s history. No other party ever aspired to serve all Colombians. Its existence depends on push-back against Colombia’s peculiar mix of corporations, big landowners, financial moguls, and narco-traffickers. Difficulties are cropping up now that call for sharpened resistance.
Facing methods of torture and imprisonment that would unnerve an inmate of Guantanamo, Lilburne never surrendered to defeatism.

As you steel yourself to confront the new imperialists, ask what Lilburne would do.
On January 1, 2025, the iconic statue of the late saint-poet Tiruvalluvar in Kanyakumari, which stands majestically at the southern tip of Tamil Nadu, celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Ever since the Modi Government came to power in 2014, it has been claiming that its economic policies have made India one of the fastest growing large economies in the world. India is expected to become a 5 trillion dollar economy by 2027-28. This article attempts to analyse these projections.
In this second article of our budget analysis of the past 10 years of the Modi Government, we critically analyse the unemployment data given in official documents that claim that unemployment in the country has fallen to historic lows.
In the words of activist Harsh Mander, a prominent target of the regime, the “election results of 2024 have not erased the dangers of fascism. The cadres of the Hindu Right remain powerful and motivated.”
