On his birth anniversary, which is celebrated as National Unity Day, we must remember the ethos of equality and secularism that Sardar Patel communicated through his actions.
The historic nationwide farmers struggle that began on November 26 entered its fourth week on December 17. It intensified and spread across the country after the unprecedented support that was expressed by the people of India through the Bharat Bandh on December 8.
While corporates are free to expand their operations across economic spheres and state boundaries, the BJP is trying to split the farmers’ movement with its dishonest labelling. Also: Farmers support for jailed activists is just – fraternity for Ambedkar was crucial for nation building.
The entire practice of the kisan agitation constitutes an emphatic rejection of the ‘nationalism’ propagated by the corporate-Hindutva alliance, and a recovery of the real nationalism that underlay the anti-colonial struggle and provided the foundation for free India.
The dairy industry will be crippled.
Modi’s wanton quoting of Tagore strikes as too much of an attempt to woo Bengalis in election season, considering the overall unfamiliarity with Tagore and his verses, displayed by BJP leaders. Also: Students protest Amit Shah’s visit to Visva-Bharati.
The Thai government has been escalating its attacks on democracy activists over the past weeks; but the student led movement is showing no sign of being cowed by the repression.
In the midst of the greatest health emergency in modern times, with millions of surgical procedures delayed due to underfunding of the National Health Service, the British Prime Minister has announced a record increase in defence spending.
In Honduras, efforts to develop semi-privately governed jurisdictions called Economic Development and Employment Zones, that violate national sovereignty and threaten mass displacement, have recently emerged anew.

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.
