Top scientists warn of ‘ghastly future of mass extinction’ and climate disruption; New study shows Earth now warmer than any time in last 12,000 years; Global ice melt accelerating at record rate; Florida professor predicts Amazon rainforest collapse by 2064.
Budgets over the years have become a tiresome spectacle. With the government adopting measures that erode its own revenues, and with the passing of the FRBM Act limiting its right to borrow, there is not much the budget as an instrument of mobilizing and allocating resources can do.
Reason: Guha had written two articles alleging that the government unduly favoured the Adani Group, helping it expand and evade taxes. Also: Press Statement by the Editors Guild of India criticising Thakurta’s arrest warrant issued by a Gujarat court.
After a year of struggle against the US-backed coup regime, Bolivians finally restored democracy. The new government immediately began measures to alleviate the socio-economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its mismanagement by the Áñez government.
It has aimed its battering ram at the Indian Parliament, Indian federalism, the Indian press and Indian civil society organisations.
Key provisions of the Modi Government’s farm bills, such as ending government procurement and winding up the FCI, were in fact spelled out in a World Bank document of August 1991.
There are many unknowns, and hence many questions, regarding the emergency-use approvals given by DGCI for two vaccine candidates in the country: Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin and Serum Institute’s Covishield.
One of India’s top vaccine experts discusses her concerns regarding the manner in which Covaxin and Covishield have been approved for restricted emergency use.
By cancelling the winter session of the Parliament, the Modi government has yet again undercut the legislature and the deliberative process of law-making.
On top of the existing violence and institutional impediments, this year was particularly taxing for the defenders of land and environment as they had to face double whammy of COVID-19 pandemic and the intensification of neoliberalism using the pandemic as an excuse.

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.
