The 2022–23 union budget should have spelt out an economic strategy for reviving the economy and tackling the unemployment and poverty emergency gripping the country. But the FM does not even show cognizance of the problem.
Celebrated thinker Noam Chomsky said the “pathology of Islamophobia”, now growing throughout the West, was “taking its most lethal form in India where the Modi government is systematically dismantling Indian secular democracy and turning the country into a Hindu ethnocracy”.
In this interview with Karan Thapar, Netaji’s grandnephew Sugata Bose said the freedom fighter would have been “quite dismayed” to see how the minorities are being discriminated against in today’s India.
Are Indigenous and Western systems of knowledge categorically antithetical? Or do they offer multiple points of entry into knowledge of the world, past and present? There are many cases where science and history are catching up with what Indigenous peoples have long known.
The Economic Survey, in keeping with the trend in recent years, paints a rosy picture of the economy, while sidestepping issues that are of concern to most Indians, still suffering in the wake of the pandemic. In keeping with the recent trend, it showers more management-style jargon.
The Modi government is going to come under immense pressure in the coming days to move into the Western camp on the burning issues of Ukraine and NATO’s further expansion, which would “change the world,” as President Biden framed the paradigm in stark historical terms last week.
“You cannot choose the time of battle. The bugle has sounded – true citizens of our republic need to fight now, no matter what your personal and professional circumstances are.”
While rejecting the Sri Narayana Guru float submitted by Kerala, the central government suggested replacing Narayana Guru with Shankracharya – this only displays the deeper agenda of the central government, which is working towards Hindu Rashtra in particular.
The saga of the 18 people slapped with ‘sedition’ and terror charges over anti-CAA protests after the Delhi riots does not sit comfortably with the belief that all Indians are equal before the law irrespective of their faith and beliefs.
Ever since the Modi Government has come to power at the Centre, it has mounted a fierce assault on the inherent values and directive principles of the Constitution. At such a time, let us all join hands to bring alive the memories of those who sacrificed their lives for our country’s freedom, and educate the people about the importance of our Constitutional values.
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.
