Most sub-Saharan African French colonies got formal independence in the 1960s. But their economies have progressed little, leaving most people in poverty, because of post-colonial monetary arrangements imposed on these countries by France, which have allowed for their continual exploitation by France.
Highly qualified candidates seeking low-level jobs, reduced wages, lower real incomes, worsening quality of employment, millions moving from salaried jobs to casual work—many things disguise unemployment in India.
We can’t fight capitalism or imperialism without confronting the psychic suffering that these systems have spread far and wide among us
“For three of my four decades as a journalist, I argued that the Indian media are politically free but imprisoned by profit. Today I’d say they are still shackled by profit, but are increasingly politically imprisoned as well.”
FAO’s latest report found world hunger rising. However, India’s data on food insecurity is missing. Also, another article – “Global Hunger Numbers Jump; 2.3 Billion Are ‘Food Insecure”.
Over the last twenty years, China has gained recognition for its efforts to reduce pollution and remediate the effects of industrialization within its borders. In another effort towards this, communities are returning to grassroots projects that present an alternative to unchecked globalization.
The Modi government’s publicity blitzkrieg around the 75th anniversary of independence masks a steadily worsening hunger and livelihood crisis. Yet, the government is perversely placing fresh hurdles before India’s severely malnourished children and the rations that are their lifeline.

After years of calling Venezuela’s economy a dismal failure that demonstrates the dangers of socialism, Western media is now lauding its recovery for ’embracing capitalism’ — but this is not accurate.

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.
