THE communist movement that grew out of the independence movement in India is the real alternative to the ideology of hatred and communalism spread by the RSS-BJP in the present era. These were the emphatic words of Prakash Karat, former general secretary of CPI(M), while speaking in a seminar observing 100 years of the formation of the Communist Party in India.The seminar was held in Jasbir Smarak in Rohtak on Febraruy 9, 2020.

THE constitution of India is the foundational document that guides our country's polity. For every Indian citizen, the constitution secures justice, freedom of thought, expression, belief, worship and faith as well as equality of status. The constitution was the outcome of our national movement for independence from colonial rule that involved people from all strata of Indian society. It is a matter of great concern, however, that many of these constitutional guarantees available to Indian citizens are threatened in the recent period.
