The Left Front’s manifesto for the West Bengal Assembly elections highlights people’s livelihood issues above anything else: ‘No Mandir-Masjid, Bengal needs Employment’. It is a document that excels the left, democratic and secular alternatives to “Save Bengal”.

The Indian government’s position on the US-Israeli war against Iran shows an unbelievable degree of pusillanimity. India attended the recent meeting of about fifty countries called by the U.K. where Iran was strongly criticised for closing the Strait of Hormuz, but not a word was uttered against the US-Israeli aggression on Iran. Likewise, India was one of the sponsors of a resolution at the UN General Assembly which criticised Iran for attacking...

The miscalculation of the Trump-Netanyahu agenda has been total: a depth of wartime leadership has emerged within Iran,...

The first-time voters appearing for their Higher Secondary exams this year, or those on the verge of graduation, have grown up seeing only the Modi and Mamata governments. They have come of age amidst corruption, the reign of miscreants, Hindu-Muslim hatred, communal violence, rape, unemployment, crumbling state schools and hospitals, despair, precarious low-income jobs, and a widening chasm between the rich and the poor. This generation has never had the...
