Neither is India a superpower economically or militarily nor is it on the road to becoming one against whom ‘conspiracies’ are hatched to destabilise it.

In an exhibition purporting to showcase the dynasties of medieval India, organised by the Indian Council of Historical Research last month, no Muslim ruler found mention. Experts have raised questions on the intentions of the Council.
The recent allegations of accounting fraud and stock manipulation against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani made by Hindenburg Research has startled many in the financial world.

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.
