The government in Nepal says that the economic situation is not as bad as it is in Sri Lanka, but the opposition insists on measures to prevent a crisis. With the ruling coalition not on a firm footing in Parliament, political instability threatens to hobble economic recovery.
It will be a disservice to Ambedkar and to his intellectual oeuvre if we neglect the fundamental questions of caste and untouchability, and applaud him as an abstract national hero. Remembering Ambedkar demands that we advance the struggle to annihilate caste.
The then PM Nehru and the then FM Deshmukh, whose foresight and vision had led to the creation of a unique institution of the LIC as a social security provider for the poor, would never have imagined even remotely that their successors six decades later would wantonly dismantle it …
Savarkarites are claiming that Savarkar had imagined a nation free of malevolent social evils such as caste cruelty, Untouchability, and injustice towards women. A comparison of these claims with the writings and deeds of Savarkar as recorded in the Hindu Mahasabha archives.
Emboldened by the confirmation of a hijab ban by the high court, Hindu fundamentalist organisations have pressured temple committees across Karnataka to keep out Muslim traders from about 60 fairs and have now escalated their demands to a ban on halal meat.
Did Karl Marx have a theory of race and capitalism? Not exactly, but he theorized on these issues for over four decades and much of what he wrote still speaks to us today.

A decentralised plan would aid price stabilisation, offer income support, and also cope with the indebtedness of farmers

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.
