“In several cases, the Court has refused to act in defence of citizens who have been victimised for their protest and dissent or for simply exercising their fundamental right of speech and expression.”
What was earlier seen by some as an antidote to the BJP’s polarising politics seems to have gone on to another plane.
From moral policing in Dakshina Kannada to stoking riots in Muzaffarnagar, the ‘love jihad’ bogey has served many purposes for the Hindu right wing.
An exception to Section 375 of IPC (that defines rape) specifically excludes acts of sexual violence in marriage from the ambit of rape. This exception is violative of the fundamental rights of equality, dignity and privacy of women.

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.
