A recent book released on the first death anniversary of Sunderlal Bahuguna, titled Sankalp ke Himalaya, has recalled several inspiring episodes of social and ecological movements in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.
The mothers were the first on the streets during the January protests, the largest and most violent in the country’s post-Soviet history.
Experts worry that with the government aggressively promoting a “singular reductionist corporate-controlled silver bullet solution” like fortified rice, a myriad of diverse local and natural solutions will get neglected and even eroded.
Activists are beginning to undo the damage done by NAFTA. The recent win of an insurgent union to represent workers at the Tridonex auto parts plant in the city of Matamoros, Mexico was a blow to the long unholy alliance between corporations and subservient unions in Mexico.
Mega corporations like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Danone are making around 494 times what they spend by bottling water in Mexico and selling it back to locals who have no choice but to buy it.
Did Karl Marx have a theory of race and capitalism? Not exactly, but he theorized on these issues for over four decades and much of what he wrote still speaks to us today.

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.
