A scientific vision of development for all Indians informed the quest for independence. The present regime deploys superstition and politics based on fear to aid just a select few.
Under the Narendra Modi government, there has been a special thrust on citizens’ duties over rights. But the former cannot be performed effectively unless the state fulfils its obligation towards citizens.
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.
Much like Adolf Hitler, Narendra Modi’s eyes are set on the complete dominance of the BJP in Indian politics. To this effect, his government will continue to use its carrot-and-stick policy to destroy the opposition.
According to the NCRB data, there have been over 43,000 farmer suicides in India between 2014 and 2020.
Delivered to the Constituent Assembly on August 14, 1947, Nehru’s speech has been quoted often in the 75 years since it was first heard. The words stir a listener, reminding her of the spirit, trials and stories that make independent India. Also: a related article by Sidharth Bhatia.
The demagogue has convinced himself that the nation can be talked up and talked out of the ruler’s mistakes and mis-steps.
Seventy-five years ago, our committed freedom fighters with their many sacrifices, gave India her freedom! Bilkis Bano, today, with her relentless fight for justice and the suffering which she is still going through, has come to symbolise India’s latest struggle for freedom.
“For three of my four decades as a journalist, I argued that the Indian media are politically free but imprisoned by profit. Today I’d say they are still shackled by profit, but are increasingly politically imprisoned as well.”
Several writers write about their perspectives on the last 75 years and their hopes for the future.
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.
