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’.
Patel’s role in the integration of princely states has been exaggerated by the Modi regime precisely because of it is seeking to malign and erase Nehru’s contribution in the freedom movement and in the making of modern India.
When the forces of hate and division are out to destroy India as a nation where all citizens have equal rights, his death is worth recalling.
The unionised working class has fought tooth and nail against every move towards privatisation. The story of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant is an important example of this unyielding struggle.
To mark the 75th year of India’s independence, the Modi Government initiated a campaign meant to ‘encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and to hoist it’. But the website of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations is silent on what the flag symbolizes.
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.
