The informal sector is not made up of tax dodgers but largely of enterprises struggling to survive. It will take a structural transformation for the informal to become formal. The recent contraction of the informal was only a pandemic-induced shock.
In today’s climate of intolerance, the relevance of Gandhi’s last fast and his demands is ever increasing. Excerpts from Kumkum Sangari’s article, “A narrative of restoration: Gandhi’s last years and Nehruvian secularism”, first published in 2002 in the wake of the Gujarat riots.
Putin and Xi have agreed to create an “independent financial structure for trade operations that could not be influenced by other countries.” This may be announced by a joint summit before the end of 2022. This is a stunning game-changer in more ways than one.
President Ortega of Nicaragua has demonstrated through his continued victories, and through his forming of new alliances with countries like China, that times have changed; that it is now the US, with its crumbling empire, which must watch on the sidelines as countries like tiny Nicaragua chart their own futures.

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.
