Past annual Global Rights Index reports issued by the International Trade Union Confederation have invariably shown that there is no country on Earth that fully protects workers’ rights and the 2022 edition is not only not an exception but finds that repression of labor organizing is increasing.
Giant retailers in the developed economies make huge fortunes in concert with smaller-scale textile and garment factories, the bulk of them in Asia and other parts of the global South. While this has brought luxury for a privileged few, it has plunged millions into a vast matrix of exploitation.
Their health, and the health of their children, is put at risk because they lack the documents needed to obtain the biometric number.
Just as in the 1930s and ’60s, America is suffering a moral crisis. We have to decide which side we are on: hate and exclusion, or justice, inclusion, and democracy?
The Shaheed Hospital in Dalli Rajhara (Chattisgarh) region is a shining example of an effort to provide rationality based, low cost medical care for workers and peasants and all weaker sections of society.

Open Letter to Mr. Rahul Gandhi: Unlike the divisive, hateful, and violent monologue of the ruling dispensation, your Bharat Jodo Yatra is going to spread the seeds of unity, love, nonviolence, and dialogic engagement with all sections of our country. Also: Govt Facilitating Corporate Loot, Says Rahul Gandhi.
The British monarchy is a vestige of tyranny, a grand monument to hierarchy and plunder. As Irish socialist James Connolly wrote in 1911, the royals are for the other despots of society, the capitalists and landlords — not for the working class.
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.
