The vocal, sustained and fiercely vehement opposition of the DMK to the New Education Policy ever since its draft released in 2019, has been barely a matter of surprise to close watchers and chroniclers of the Dravidian movement.
The CPI(M) does not regard the BJP’s repeated attempts to destabilise the West Bengal government as a threat to federalism but as a political tussle between TMC and BJP, forgetting that this struggle is very similar to the struggles of the Jyoti Basu government against the Centre in the 1980s.
“All their speeches were fill of communal poison,” he wrote after banning the Sangh in 1948. “As a final result of the poison, the country had to suffer the sacrifice of the invaluable life of Gandhiji.”

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.
