Inequality levels have reached historical highs under the Billionaire Raj. These extreme inequalities and their close links with social injustices can no longer be ignored. A comprehensive wealth tax package would be an important step towards a more equitable growth path for India.
India celebrates the 75th Republic Day on January 26. On this day, 75 years ago, in 1950, the Constitution pledged equality, regardless of gender, caste, religion, class, community or language. It is a fitting time to revisit this poem by Rabindranath Tagore on his vision of a truly liberated India.
The ruling by the International Court of Justice was a legal victory for South Africa and the Palestinians, but it will not halt the slaughter.
This slogan, raised at pro-Palestine demonstrations around the world, has attracted a great deal of ignorant criticism.
The Meiteis, Pangals, and Kukis of Manipur, all extended support to the INA and its struggle. The Naga people were not an exception either. This legacy of unity and amity was sadly lost in independent India. Instead, the North East, including Manipur, became the country’s chronically restive region.
Former Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Justice Mathur’s keynote address at the 11th Rajasthan state convention of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties in Bhilwara on April 1 and 2.
Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe talks about 75 years of the Nakba, the new Israeli protest movement, its prospects for Palestine.
Reflections on the Bharat Jodo Yatra, as it nears completion.
When the forces of hate and division are out to destroy India as a nation where all citizens have equal rights, his death is worth recalling.
Delivered to the Constituent Assembly on August 14, 1947, Nehru’s speech has been quoted often in the 75 years since it was first heard. The words stir a listener, reminding her of the spirit, trials and stories that make independent India. Also: a related article by Sidharth Bhatia.
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.
