Akin to how characters in Dante’s poem paid for their sins in hell, Indians are paying with their lives during a pandemic for electing a government that is utterly incompetent and bigoted.
Narendra Modi has burnt every bridge, antagonised every peer and decapacitated every institution which could have helped him cross the troubled waters he now has to negotiate.
Mass demonstrations in Colombia continue for the third straight week. After defeating the unpopular tax reform that sparked the movement, protesters push new demands. Plus, an article on why the government imposed the tax package and its impact on the people that led to the uprising.
The reason for the Indian govt’s abysmal failure to tackle the second Covid wave lies in the fact that the Indian Republic – built as it is on the edifice of the British colonial state – is designed to work only on behalf of a tiny minority of Indians, leaving the vast majority to fend for themselves.
Even the global health crisis that unfolded in the past year has not deterred the current government from executing its plans for ‘ease of doing business’.
Like the mythical Phoenix, Chernobyl rises from the ashes. And, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the world-famous Doomsday Clock, that measures humanity’s nearness to utter annihilation, at 100 seconds to midnight.
The RSS knows that capturing the hearts and minds of the young is a generational task and is ready to wait for another two elections for the BJP to capture the state in Bengal.
In this wide-ranging discussion, Hudson addresses U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and Iran, the policies of the Joe Biden administration, Beijing’s economic model, cryptocurrencies, and dedollarization–the potential end to the dollar as the global reserve currency.
The more the government tries to tighten its grip on dissent by cutting out all communications and shutting genuine dialogues, the more are the new bonds being created by the farmers’ movement. Many flowers may be cut, but Spring can no longer be prevented from coming.
The farming community along with common citizens would hoist black flags on their homes, tractors and vehicles and burn the effigy of PM Modi in villages, farmer leaders said.
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.
