Nehru has been accused of dishonestly usurping the premiership from Patel and treating the latter’s memory shabbily after his death. As we pay tribute to Nehru on his 59th death anniversary, it is apt to critically appraise their relationship.
American Capitalism Has Produced Its Most Remarkable Innovation Yet: Breadlines; The Death Penalty for Homelessness; Baskets and Tents.
The story of tea is a story of interconnected continents and expanding systems of capitalist and imperialist exploitation stretching their tendrils across the globe over the course of hundreds of years—and the people bearing the brunt of it all have always been the workers on the plantations.
A divine symbol will not make parliament more democratic. Only a government which is aware that the opposition has also been elected and deserves respect can accomplish that.
No other Indian leader, with the exception of Gandhi, has been admired and held in so high esteem by such a galaxy of eminent men of the 20th century as Nehru had been. If he was idolized by the West, he was equally sought after in Communist Russia and in Africa, large parts of which were still under colonial rule.
A letter by a teacher to his economics students on May Day: Workers are now in the situation they were in in the 19th century, before their struggles worldwide won various rights – to form unions, to enjoy job security, to earn minimum wages, and so on.
Remarks delivered at a webinar in honor of the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the predecessor to the African Union (AU) formed in 2002.
Inefficiency, it turns out, has considerable upsides. Only the morbidly rich lose out when nations return to slightly inefficient but fully competitive marketplaces.
One and a half degrees is dead. The world will blow past that milestone in the next year. At least, that’s what climate scientist James Hansen and his collaborators at Columbia University’s Earth Institute predicted in January.
The fact that there are people profiting from mass slaughter has been expunged from our political consciousness. Not even the most lucid and disenchanted commentator would dare affirm, as Anatole France did in 1922, that ‘We think we are dying for our country; we are dying for the industrialists’.
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.
