Joe Biden has been participating in several international meetings covering a wide range of issues but with one key goal in mind: intensify the new Cold War with China and construct a global front towards this end. After a communique issued by a NATO summit, China finally responded to this campaign.
James Baldwin’s thoughts on his nephew’s future (in the USA)—in a country with a terrible history of racism— first appeared in The Progressive magazine in 1962. Over 50 years later his words are, sadly, more relevant than ever.
Siddalingaiah, who passed away on June 11, was not only a poet, but also an activist and public intellectual all his life. A key figure in the Dalit movement of the 1970s and 1980s, he was one of the co-founders of the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti in Karnataka.
To let people die for want of food, and air now, is tantamount to the genocides that scarred forever the 20th century. The Allahabad high court was making exactly the same point.
The lesson of every struggle against oppression has been that relying upon an elite few to obtain powerful positions has never won fundamental change for the vast majority of people; they have only been won when ordinary people have united to challenge the elite and the divisive system.
It can unequivocally be asserted that the Palestinian resistance scored a major victory, arguably unprecedented in its proud history. This is the first time that Israel has been forced to accept that the rules of the game have changed, likely forever.
Farmer unions put onus on government, say protest will continue till government takes the laws back, but no big action on cards in view of surging pandemic.
The U.S. is in competition with–in fact is in conflict with–China in Africa. The approach of both is starkly different. One is marked by violence and racism and the other by a solidarity with roots in the Third World movement.
Pakistan rights campaigners have taken exception to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s remarks on the causes of sexual violence and rape, terming them factually incorrect, insensitive and dangerous.
Significant developments are underway in Turkey. Most ominously, the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has moved toward the banning of one of the country’s main opposition parties, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).
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.
