The world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes from $405 billion to $869 billion since 2020 – at a rate of $14 million per hour – while nearly five billion people have been made poorer, reveals a new Oxfam report on inequality and global corporate power.
The Bharat Nyaya Yatra from Manipur to Mumbai, led by Rahul Gandhi, is set to begin on 14 January 2024. It promises to mobilise people by reaffirming their faith in the lofty goals of the Constitution: its ideas of social, economic and political justice.
The writer of India’s Constitution never favoured a time-bound framework for quotas. Misquoting him ducks questions on what has really changed for lower castes.
A university, for the State, should merely be a sanitised site of formal curriculum: it should not be a sanctuary that encourages young minds to engage in critical analysis and speak truth to power.
Thousands of teachers work under the system with no job security. Now they fear that new changes will further damage their chances of securing permanent posts.
Radical as always and original in his invention of new forms or reinvention of existing literary forms, Mahatma Phule is almost certainly the first person to employ the powada as a satire and an interrogation of Brahmin hegemony.
Soldiers promoting government schemes is unambiguously political activity. Government would do well to cease using the Army for political purposes, and the military top brass would do well to stand firm to maintain the apolitical nature of the soldier and the Service.
Éric Toussaint’s history of the World Bank shows powerfully how it and other international institutions have enforced imperialist exploitation.
GST has been in operation since July 1, 2017. It was billed as the second freedom since it was supposed to unify the `fragmented’ Indian market. In the six years that have elapsed, has it fulfilled the promises that its proponents had vociferously claimed for it.
The UK has planned or executed over 40 attempts to remove foreign governments in 27 countries since the end of the Second World War. These range from brutal colonial wars and covert operations to efforts to prop up favoured governments, including British Guiana in 1953, Egypt in the 1950s, Iraq in 2003 and Libya in 2011.
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.
