92% of the climate catastrophe engulfing the planet is caused by Global North, backed by the massive imperial army of NATO, that overthrows governments and brutally sanctions entire peoples who refuse to bow down. The climate movement in the Global North needs to realise this and embrace a path of international solidarity.
Tagore’s play Mukta-Dhara foretells the manner in which people across the country have been losing their freedom — those uprooted by development quite obviously so, those ‘benefitting’ from it (mostly living in cities) more subtly and invisibly. This is the ecologically fatal price of ‘progress’, which Rabindranath anticipated in much of his work.
It is a foregone conclusion that the Donbas republics and other territories of Ukraine now under Russian occupation will vote to join the Russian Federation. The author discusses what turn the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could now take.
The word “exploitation” is special for Socialists. It’s the key to the Socialist argument that a revolution to end oppression won’t just require a change in the political system, but a deep transformation in the way we work.
A great responsibility falls upon the democratic and secular parties – whatever be their differences on policy matters – to come together and defend the country’s values.

Three-part article on the future of work since the pandemic slump: Remote Working; Working Long and Hard; and Automation.

As India gears up to celebrate its 75th year of Independence, an examination of one of our most pressing problems, the sustainability of the natural environment on which all our lives depend.
The government of Odisha is auctioning away thousands of acres of forest lands to corporate houses for mining projects, without the consent of the tribal people living on these lands, in gross violation of FRA and PESA. The tribal people are waging heroic struggles to defend their livelihoods.
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.
