Bombay High Court quashes the FIRs against 29 foreigners and six Indian members of the Tablighi Jamaat and chastises the police for “non-application of mind”, hopefully drawing the curtain on the sustained vilification of the largest Muslim organisation in the country.
3,000 dead on 9/11 meant everything, 200,000 dead of Covid-19 means nothing. But there is one thing both these two periods have in common—both represent huge wins for the military-industrial complex.

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.
