The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has rightly said, “This is a moment for the country to seriously address the deep issues of racism and discrimination in law enforcement.”
Article and Press Release condemning the brazen and disgraceful attempts by the BJP Government to arbitrarily occupy and destroy two of the most reputed Gandhian institutions of the country, Gandhi Vidya Sansthan and Sarva Seva Sangh, situated in Varanasi.
India will pick up 70% of the tab, the US semiconductor giant will own the plant to assemble and test chips made elsewhere. That’s not called ‘investing in technology’.
The ease of doing business has not come about and investment rates have not increased. An alternatively simpler GST exists but the government is not willing to admit its failure. Further, while the benefits have not accrued to the country, fiscal federalism has been dented.
To hear the BJP’s claims, one would think that India was entirely sunk in a morass of economic and technological backwardness before May 2014.
‘The assassins of Mahatma Gandhi were not worshipped during the 1975 Emergency. Boys and girls were free to choose partners of their choice. They were not persecuted in the name of ‘love jihad’.’
India’s poverty estimates are outdated. In the absence of accurate data, social security schemes cannot be expected to reach their intended targets.
Today, when a party that is an RSS-front organisation is in power, the need for all who love democracy to appreciate Jawaharlal Nehru’s acute understanding of fascism is particularly urgent.
Is the world’s largest democracy sliding towards autocracy?
No one should be shocked. This is just one more instance of the peddlers of Hindu supremacy being unscrupulous in the pursuit of their goals.
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.
