Interview with journalists Ravi Nair and Paranjoy Guha Thakurta on the much talked about Rafale deal, the many unanswered questions related to it, the scrapping of a previous deal, and the unilateral decision of the Prime Minister in this matter. Excerpts from their interview to Frontline.
In 2002, there must have been ministers that thought K. Subrahmanyam – who was well over 70 at the time – had been ‘vicious’ in calling a democratically chosen leader an ‘asura’. Mercifully, none of them attacked him for being old.
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.
Hindutva has reduced citizens to passive political subjects where people devote themselves to the leader’s ascribed duties towards the nation’s development.
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 Solomon Islands, located east of Papua New Guinea and northeast of Australia, has become a battleground for Washington and its desire to maintain primacy over the Asia-Pacific region.
Changing the name of Mughal Gardens reflects the unwarranted inferiority complex of the present-day moguls and their parochial chauvinism.
Raisi’s visit to Beijing, the first for an Iranian president in 20 years, represents Tehran’s wholesale ‘Pivot to the East’ and China’s recognition of Iran’s centrality to its BRI plans.
Thoughts on the Mahatma’s 75th death anniversary.
While the Adani story is still unfolding, what it has already made clear is that neoliberalism is not about market competition and transparency, but an instrument to engineer income and wealth redistribution. In this case in favour of one individual and his group. Also: “Adani’s Fraudulent Empire Exposed”.
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.
