The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has rightly said, “This is a moment for the country to seriously address the deep issues of racism and discrimination in law enforcement.”
An excerpt from ‘Banned and Censored: What the British Raj Didn’t Want Us to Read’, selected and introduced by Devika Sethi. This written statement was issued by Nehru when he was charged with sedition, with instigating Indians not to pay taxes, and with offences under the Indian Salt Act.

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.
