The Hindu right has not been able to take over much of Tamil Nadu’s political space, due to the long-standing propaganda by parties such as the DMK against the caste-based discrimination within Hinduism, which also led to a positive representation of Islam and Muslims.
A host of BJP leaders in office have made misogynist and sexist remarks. All in keeping with the Sangh Parivar’s world view on women.
Thousands of farmers gather in mahapanchayat in Ballia in Eastern UP; Preparations begin in Bihar for first Kisan Mahapanchayat there; Farmer unions call for Bharat Bandh on March 26; Farmer leaders reach West Bengal to campaign against BJP, address rally in Nandigram.
The V Dem Institute’s report notes that much of the decline in democratic freedoms occurred after the BJP and Narendra Modi’s victory in 2014.
While the BJP has succeeded in gaining an entry into every state in the country, it has failed to do so in Tamil Nadu. A substantial reason for the failure of BJP’s Hindutva in the state lies in the integration of Muslims during the making of the composite Tamil identity.
Reports from mahapanchayats at Lakhnaur (Saharanpur district), Munderwa (Basti district), Barabanki (eastern UP), and Barnala (Punjab). With harvesting season coming, focus shifts on youth and workers to keep Delhi morchas running.
Disha Ravi and the 18-year-old Greta Thunberg are fighting for climate justice. They are not fighting for themselves but for entire humanity. If humanity is to survive on this planet, their fight must win. The elder generation should listen to them and act upon their demands.
Farmers are uniting and protesting as never before in India. They are ignoring the caste, religious, and class boundaries that normally divide them. Prime Minister Modi planned to encircle the farmers. But the farmers are now encircling his government.
The fighting spirit of the farmers has kept the agitation alive through the past two months. The farmers on the ground at the Delhi siege and those supporting them from the villages assert that this will see their struggle through all the machinations of the propagators of the “Big Lie”.
Several young Muslims have been locked up because they had the temerity to assert their right to equal citizenship.
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.
