Successive governments with a neoliberal agenda have not been able to roll-back nationalization, even after thirty years. That fortuitous ‘failure’ shows that the criticism of public ownership of banking is misplaced, and that neoliberal policies have lost their legitimacy.
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay was an actor, social reformer, feminist, freedom fighter, reviver of Indian handicrafts, and a global proselytizer of Satyagraha. She was a woman who was years ahead of her time and a romantic renegade.
Southeast Asia’s past and present reflect a civilisational maturity that is in stark contrast to those who speak of ancient India’s spiritual ‘legacy’ overseas while stoking an ugly communal divide at home.
In his August 15 speech, Prime Minister Modi sidestepped demands on the government to deliver on its promises and instead laid great emphasis on citizens fulfilling their duties. The Orwellian new name for Delhi’s Rajpath adds to this push.
In an address to the Trondheim World Festival in Norway, John Pilger charts the history of power propaganda and describes how it appropriates journalism in a ‘profound imperialism’ and is likely to entrap us all, if we allow it.
The 2021 Census has been indefinitely postponed with doubts about whether it will even continue in its present form. The governments of both colonial and independent India have drawn on the census for their own purposes, but it always was a rich source of quality data.
Nehru was a moderniser rooted in Indian tradition and was firmly against the ideological vision of Hindutva. No one knows this better than Hindutva ideologues.
The Jalore tragedy represents our failure to reform. Discrimination and exclusion persist in their most severe forms, which cannot happen without institutional neglect, even condonation.
On August 7, 2022, Gustavo Petro and his running mate, Francia Márquez, were inaugurated as the President and Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia. This was one of the most historic events in Latin America for at least a century.
For Dalits, water is not a natural beauty, the nectar of life or a life-nurturing agent, but a ‘caste burden’.
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.
