Trade Deals and FTAs: Shameful Surrender to Imperialism

Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered to the diktats of US Imperialism and agreed to a humiliating lop-sided trade deal by seriously compromising India’s sovereignty. The “deal” announced unilaterally by Donald Trump over his social media platform, and welcomed by Narendra Modi on X, seems more like a promise extracted with a boot on the throat.

A Gut-Wrenching Saga of Systemic Crimes

SINCE the release of the Epstein Files by the US Department of Justice on January 30, outrage has been unleashed across the United States and Europe. But the revelations, which include more than 30 lakh e-mail exchanges, over a lakh of photographs and above a thousand video clips, bring out the horrific crimes that were anchored by self-styled financial advisor and power peddler Jeffrey Epstein and his close associates unravelling his network of leverage, blackmail and influence peddling.

Can Europe Provide a “Third Way”?

WITH the Trump administration adopting brutally repressive measures not just against immigrants but even against US citizens, a tendency has emerged within American liberal circles to look towards Europe for providing a “third way”, a “model” different from both China and the US, the two major powers in contention in today’s world. American liberals of course were never enamoured with China; so their rejecting the Chinese “model” is not surprising.

Left Parties Slam JNU Administration’s action Against JNUSU Leaders

The decision of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Administration to rusticate all four elected office-bearers of the JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) along with its former President for two semesters, declare the campus ‘out of bounds’ for them, and impose heavy fines, is a direct attack on the democratic fabric of the University.

Cash Transfers for Women: Unmasking BJP’s Deception

OVER the last few years, we have seen how the direct cash transfer schemes targeted at women have become a central feature of the Bharatiya Janata Party's electoral strategy across multiple states.

Tripura: Confront BJP-Motha’s Betrayal and Conspiracy: Jitendra Chaudhury

Vehicles were hired free of cost. Yet many of them ran almost empty. Several quintals of cooked meat were also distributed for free.

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.

US-India Trade Deal – Attack on our Sovereignty

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on February 08, 2026

As details of the Indo–US trade deal slowly emerge, it is becoming evident that the BJP-led Union government has made sweeping concessions to the United States in the so-called ‘interim deal’. These concessions pose a serious threat to India’s economy, agriculture, and national sovereignty.
