From Gramsci’s political thinking and practical strategizing come a set of ideas that arguably have only grown more salient with time.
A look back at the history of communes and how they are supposed to be more than “appendages” of state institutions.

The opposition front also adopted a joint resolution that deftly accommodates the political agendas of different participants, showing the resolve of the opposition parties to forge a united front. Full text of the Resolution. Also: “‘INDIA’ May Be the Finest Hour of Identity Politics in Our Country.”
“The Return of Child Labor Is the Latest Sign of American Decline”; and: “To Hear the Wail of the Children: Hard Exploitative Times”. Concerted efforts are being made in the USA to weaken or repeal statutes that have inhibited or prevented the possibility of exploiting children.
We need a little history and political context for affirmative action in higher education in this country (the USA), so we can better grasp what this Supreme Court ruling banning the use of race as a consideration in college admissions really means.
To hear the BJP’s claims, one would think that India was entirely sunk in a morass of economic and technological backwardness before May 2014.
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.
