The PM Vishwakarma Yojana mirrors past caste-based exclusionary policies, confining marginalised groups to traditional occupations and impeding their access to higher education, contradicting constitutional principles of justice and equity.
‘There is no change in circumstances to consider any change in Article 1 of the Constitution of India,’ it had said.
By calling for continuation of reservation, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat seems to have altered his earlier stand.
He was fired from his job for stopping the vehicle to allow two Muslim passengers to pray. In India today, even an act of friendship and fraternity towards Muslims has become an act of deviance and a crime. This is far from the spirit foreseen by the founders of our constitutional republic.
A multipronged movement in Guatemala is rising to defend the surprise election of a progressive president who is under attack from the corrupt old guard.
After over three months of Thailand being put on hold as the country’s political adversaries tried to figure a way out of the surprising results of the May elections, a solution was finally reached among contending parties in the third week of August. It was a victory for the establishment.
This Teachers’ Day, we must remember the teachers who have been suspended, penalised, arrested, jailed, or forced to quit for being independent and teaching students this independence.
It is easy to feel bleak in the confines of one’s living room, where social media-fuelled anxiety can lead to handwringing and despair. But as anyone who has taken part in a people’s movement in some shape or form can testify, the view is very different from the street.
A report on a virtual meeting organised by the civil rights organisation Kezekevi Thehou Ba says that the “bid to push oil palm cultivation in the North-East” has rung “alarm bells” in the ecologically fragile and biodiversity rich region.
Data collected by the APPSC shows that reservation is violated in faculty composition of all IITs. In IIT Delhi, only 2% of faculty are SC, 1% ST, and 7% OBC. The remaining 90% positions are filled by savarnas. Same is the case for IIT Bombay where 94% are savarnas, with just 2% OBC, 3% SC, and 1% ST.
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.
