On violence, non-violence, and the state. Mohandas Gandhi (1969-1948) and Abdullah Öcalan (1949-) were not contemporaries; this conversation is imaginary, but it may well have taken place in one of the many worlds we inhabit.
Outraged by the appalling violence against two women in Manipur, Gujarati poet Mahashweta Jani has written a powerful poem.
Like Tagore, the scientist sought to blend an inclusive, non-jingoistic nationalism with an openness to the world.
The proxy war in Ukraine is designed to serve U.S. interests. It enriches the weapons manufacturers, weakens the Russian military and isolates Russia from Europe. What happens to Ukraine is irrelevant.
Many of the political parties that led their countries towards the attainment of political independence in Africa have betrayed the principles that guided them. But, not all hope is lost. We can draw inspiration for a better future for Africa from the immortal revolutionary Amilcar Cabral.
Executive authorities have mostly failed to comply with a 2020 Supreme Court judgement prescribing regulations for internet shutdowns.
Dalits and Adivasis are preponderant in the temporary labour migrant workforce across the country. While they form only 25% of the population, official estimates show that they make up more than 40% of the seasonal migrants.
Opposition unity has greatly increased the likelihood of a defeat for the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. However, democracies can only survive if their leaders are willing to accept defeat and fight for power through the ballot, instead of the bullet. Modi has shown a reluctance to do this throughout the 22 years he has enjoyed power at Gandhinagar and Delhi.
What’s chilling is the cynicism of the top man running the country. Why is the prime minister unmoved?
Calling Manipur violence “state-sponsored”, a fact finding team of the National Federation of Indian Women has said that what is occurring currently in State is “not communal violence, nor a fight between two communities. It involves the questions of land, resources, and the presence of fanatics and militants.”
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.
