Narendra Modi had once said that Indians were ‘ashamed’ of being Indians before he took over as prime minister in 2014. So here’s a list of the reasons why we were proud of being Indian before his rule.
Surely, there is a pall of gloom in the western media lately about the war storms gathering on the horizon. There have been reports of more Russian successes. The Ukrainian defence line is cracking through which an elephant can pass to the steppes en route to the Dnieper River.
For low-income residents across India, and particularly women, bathroom use is dictated by poor toilet infrastructure.
It would be so tempting to qualify Chinese President Xi Jinping landing in Riyadh a week ago, welcomed with royal pomp and circumstance, as Xi of Arabia proclaiming the dawn of the petroyuan era. But it’s more complicated than that.
A colonial-era land grab in Kenya saw Britain evict half a million people. Now survivors are confronting some of the UK’s most powerful institutions, from Unilever to King Charles, in a bid to reclaim their land.
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and Aruna Asaf Ali were two prominent women in the freedom struggle who were near contemporaries. Examining their lives together uncovers an essential unity in their vision, which may not have been realized during their life-time but serves as an inspiration today.
War between Ethiopia and the TPLF may be coming to an end, but the US is using sanctions to have the final word despite the apparent defeat of its proxy.
For the first time in five years, tensions in the Korean peninsula are escalating. This comes in the context of a U.S. military buildup in the Pacific, driven by greater capitalist competition between the United States and China.
As the balance of power shifts again in Ukraine, its reverberations will impact the very unity of the EU project.
70 years ago the UK stepped up a brutal colonial intervention in Malaya, presenting it as a war against Chinese communism. British forces herded hundreds of thousands of people into fortified camps, heavily bombed rural areas and resorted to extensive propaganda to win the conflict.

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.
