Their Questions, Our Answers

WITH the West Bengal assembly elections approaching, the Left parties, particularly the CPI(M), are facing intense media scrutiny, prompting numerous questions about their current political position. Interestingly, those who once dismissed the CPI(M) as irrelevant are now faced with its visible presence. Unable to ignore the party's activities, they are attempting to mislead the public by raising contentious issues. It is therefore crucial to address some of these concerns directly.

Imperialist Chessboard and Socialist Shield: Defending India’s Sovereignty in a Unipolar Trap

AS we stand on the precipice of 2026, observing the tectonic shifts of the New World Order, a glaring dichotomy emerges in how nations respond to the bullying tactics of American hegemony. From the vantage point of a political observer tracking these geopolitical fractures, the contrast is stark. On one side, we witness the developed nations of the West—ostensibly sovereign but economically tethered to the neoliberal consensus—capitulating one by one to Washington’s dictates.

From Protection to Facilitation: Repeal the Overseas Mobility Bill, 2025

THE Overseas Mobility (Facilitation and Welfare) Bill, 2025, which the Union Government intends to table in the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament, arrives not as a shield for the vulnerable, but as a legislative auction block where the Indian working class is sold to the highest bidder. This Bill represents an institutionalized betrayal, a premeditated retreat by the State from its fundamental duty to protect its citizens.

Politics of Displacement and Reclamation of Citizenship: Loka Kerala Sabha as a Socialist Model

TO grow up in Vengara, a quiet geography in the Malappuram district of Kerala, is to witness the paradoxical nature of global capitalism from the front row. I do not write this from the perspective of an expatriate family; my own lineage remained rooted in the soil of Malabar. Yet, as an observer born into this historic cradle of Gulf migration, I have watched my village transform.

How the System Defends Caste Discrimination

AN age-old evil that haunts Indian society, a decade long and partial move to ameliorate some of its effects in higher education, a new set of regulations and a fierce, almost orchestrated reaction amplified by the media – and bang! – the move was scuttled and any thought about it pushed down the road. This is the summary of the two-week journey of new UGC regulations that sought to tackle caste discrimination in higher education institutions.

Defeat the Corporate-Communal Onslaught!

THE working class of India has once again sounded the bugle of resistance. The Central Trade Unions (CTUs) have collectively called for a nation-wide General Strike on February 12; the eighth major one since the BJP came to office in 2014. With the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and agricultural workers’ organisations extending unconditional support to the strike, it will not merely be a day of protest, but it is going to be a massive assertion of the toiling masses against the predatory anti-people policies of the RSS led regime.

Crony ‘Haircuts’ for Crony Capitalists

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) came into effect on May 28, 2016, with the President's assent. It was introduced in Parliament as a framework to resolve insolvency proceedings between corporate giants and individuals within a specific timeframe. In 2025, certain amendments to this code were introduced and passed. Under the IBC, if a company goes bankrupt and a resolution is not possible, there are clear procedures to sell the company’s assets through an auction. This is known as the liquidation process.
