Hold peace talks with Pakistan, send aid mission to Palestine: Modi urged

By A Representative 
The Socialist Party (India) has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting that the government drop its plan to send seven delegations of political leaders abroad to present India’s position on terrorism. Instead, the party recommends sending one delegation to Pakistan to begin a dialogue process supported by confidence-building steps.
In an open letter signed by Sandeep Pandey, General Secretary (photo), Shahid Saleem, National Committee Member, and journalist Rosamma Thomas, the party states that improved relations with Pakistan could help address the Kashmir issue and concerns related to terrorism.
The letter further suggests using the funds saved from the global tours to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine. The party proposes that India coordinate a mission to air-drop aid supplies and inform Israel in advance of such a plan. Other countries could be invited to join the effort, and if no other country participates, the party suggests India proceed independently.
The party also proposes that volunteers from the armed forces be invited to participate in such a mission and expresses confidence that there would be sufficient interest. It calls on the Prime Minister to support this initiative and lead efforts to provide aid to Palestine.
The letter was sent to the Prime Minister by email and includes contact details of the signatories.

Neville Cardus: The man who turned cricket writing into poetry

By Harsh Thakor*  Neville Cardus was one of the most remarkable literary figures of the twentieth century. A prolific English writer and critic, he achieved distinction in two vastly different fields: cricket and classical music. Entirely self-taught, Cardus rose from humble beginnings to become both the cricket correspondent and chief music critic of The Manchester Guardian . His achievements in these contrasting disciplines earned him widespread acclaim and established him as one of the foremost critics of his generation. In February 2025, the cricketing and literary world marked the fiftieth anniversary of his death, which occurred in February 1975.

​Ideological shifts and structural realities within India's left-wing insurgency

​By Harsh Thakor*  The Maoist insurgency in India is arguably at its weakest point since the formation of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in 2004. Years of sustained counterinsurgency operations, leadership losses, shrinking territorial influence, declining recruitment, and growing technological advantages enjoyed by the state have significantly eroded the movement's operational capabilities.

The Dalit body on screen: Stereotypes, sacrifice, and subjugation in Hindi films

By Dr. Prem Singh*  Despite centuries of reformist efforts, from Gandhi and Ambedkar to contemporary activists, the caste system remains deeply embedded in the Indian psyche. One of the primary reasons for this persistence is the religious sanction provided by Brahminical scriptures, which have shaped not only social structures but also cultural and artistic expressions.
