There is growing conviction that the nation, language, and religion are one. Hindi ideologues see only Hindi as authentically Indian and Hindu. The current rhetoric is reminiscent of the ‘Hindi-wallahs’ in the early 20th century.
In this interview, Corbyn, the former Labour Party leader, speaks candidly about British media, the U.K. military and intelligence services, Israel, Keir Starmer, Julian Assange and Saudi Arabia.
Several industry leaders have offered jobs to Agniveers. The question is, how many ex-servicemen have they employed in the past in their respective corporate houses. The Modi govt. too has promised them jobs in govt departments – but it has not filled the posts reserved for them so far. Also: Farmers and workers join youth protesting Agnipath scheme.
Even as Droupadi Murmu is set to become the country’s first president to emerge from a tribal community, Adivasis in Odisha – her home state – continue to face the brunt of a brutal repression for their opposition to a steel plant in Dhinkia.
Trained practitioners warn an unregulated Yoga scenario is making people ill. The Indian government is aware – yet continues to postpone regulation.
The Narendra Modi-led government has not only failed its promise to provide two crore jobs to the youth every year, it has also created a situation where economic growth is barely creating jobs. And now the Agnipath scheme has taken away the chance to find a secure position. Expect more agitations.
The US dominates the Pacific Islands to an extent China can never hope to achieve. With Australia’s support, the US is now engaged in an arms build-up in its Pacific territories and de-facto colonies in a little known boost to its containment of China.
After their term ends, thousands of Agniveers would be at the mercy of the Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare for re-employment, which has done little or nothing to resettle ex-servicemen, say protesters. Also: “Agnipath – Path of Militarisation of Society?”
Given the severe shortage of coal supply from CIL at present, and states being asked to buy imported coal at three times the cost, it is imperative that the PM conducts a serious inquiry into what went wrong with the government’s 2016 plan to eliminate coal imports by 2020.
Along with wheat and atta, prices of vegetables, cooking oils, milk and LPG cylinders are all zooming up.

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.
