Prabhat Patnaik - 2021-01-08 09:33
The Modi government must be the most timid in the world vis-à-vis international finance capital.

The victory of both the Democratic Party candidates in the Georgia run offs for the two senate seats on January 5 elections, is a landmark in the present battle in the United States of America to opt for a forward looking programme for correcting the wrongs that were done during the four year of Trump presidency.

ELDERLY WITH PRECARIOUS CONDITIONS IN INDIA MULTIPLYING RAPIDLY
