General Election 2024: Will Uniform Civil Code Be Next Big Move For BJP?

Vikas DeshwalJune 27, 20220

The Uniform Civil Code has been a long-lasting part of the Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto. The Uniform Civil Code is reflected in the party's ideology. It matches the ideological viewpoint of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sang), which has close ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Triple talaq and Article 370 abolished and solved centuries of matter, but now, this time to solve the issue of UCC, the CAA bill passed in parliament. Could UCC be the Modi government's next big move in the 2024 general elections? The home minister Amit Shah said: "Ram Mandir, CAA, Triple talaq and Article 370 done, now its turn for Uniform Civil Code. What is the Uniform Civil Code? Uniform Civil Code (UCC), explained in Indian Constitution under Article 44 of the Directive Principles of State

APMCs Act Bypasses Mandi System: How Important Is Its Current Structure?

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

It is also important to recognise that Indian agri-produce markets are decentralised and dynamic. It is contested that the APMCs in some States are inefficient and ridden with corruption and malpractices. Should we abandon the present structures or should we reform the APMC markets? The decision to try to do away with the APMC regime on grounds of inefficiency and monopsony is comparable to the argument against practicing democracy. Should we surrender democracy or federalism because it's not working smoothly? If self-reliance is the purpose of those reforms, should it be achieved through corporates or through people’s agencies like APMCs and FPOs? The way forward is to either leave the intra-State Agri marketing reforms to the States within the spirit of co-operative federal...

‘Dummy Cars, Government On Dialysis Don’t Persist For Long’: Union Minister On Maharashtra Government Collapse

Alankrati VermaJune 27, 20220

Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi stated on Thursday that ‘dummy cars and a government on dialysis do not persist for very long'. He said so because of the political situation in Maharashtra, where the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government is struggling to hold on to power. Naqvi spoke with the media after casting his vote in the Rampur Lok Sabha by-election about this situation. During the talk, on a question about what will emerge in Maharashtra, he used the renowned "Mughal-e-Azam" song's famous couplet, "Jab raat hai aisi matwali to subah ka alam kya hoga." After the revolt of several Shiv Sena members, the survival of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra is in doubt. Moreover, Abbas Naqvi stated that BJP has made all necessary preparation

Development In Dumps: Sewage Testing Still A Challenge Amid Technological Advancements

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Testing within the Indian context is incredibly challenging as sewage systems are fragmented. Only a third of all towns have any style of sewers, either underground or open drains, in line with the 2011 Census. The remainder of the population is served by on-site sanitation, including septic tanks. Testing these is problematic and can be possible as long as there's a scientific process of emptying and treating faecal sludge. Most of the time, sewers and septic tanks are cleaned manually exposing men to a different potential pathogen, although the virus in sewage is alleged to be non-infectious. The large population of cities complicates the prediction of infections supported sewage testing as these individuals could use toilets in their offices or public toilets. Therefore, if virus ...

Inflation Problem In Developing Countries Taken Serious Form; Check Out Causes, Remedies

Sapna SinghJune 27, 20220

Inflation and high prices of products are two of the world's major issues. When compared to developed countries, the problem of inflation has taken on a more serious form in developing countries such as India. When the government's administrative expenditure exceeds its income, it spends by printing more notes. As a result, money expands while its value decreases. This is referred to as inflation. While the rate of inflation in developed countries is two or three percent, the rate of inflation in developing countries is not in the single digits. As a result, inflation is being ripped apart like a monstrous beast. The world economy is still dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, new challenges have emerged in recent times, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which h...

Draupadi Murmu: A Name Larger Than ‘First Santhal Woman President’ Tag

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

Droupadi Murmu's nomination as the future President of India was swiftly made by Amul. 'Setting a President?' says the cartoon. MurMaska on toast is a must-try. As a wordsmith, Amul thrives on this kind of play on words. However, it also raises an interesting inquiry about the topic in issue. Is Droupadi Murmu's historic role as India's first tribal woman President at danger of overshadowing her other accomplishments? There were immediate reports in the media regarding her political astuteness, the Adivasi role in Hindutva politics, and if she would be a rubber stamp president as soon as her identity was made public. In light of the fact that Chhattisgarh is one of the few remaining states in the Congress's belt with a big tribal population, the party must decide whether it is pr...

Political Sugarcoating Of India: A Sweet Truth Too Bitter To Bare 

Agamapar ChadhaJune 25, 20220

Consuming something sweet is considered a good luck charm among Indians before they take on any tumultuous challenge. However, an estimated 77 million diabetics and 700,000 deaths due to diabetes leave a terrible aftertaste of the sweets consumed. Many media reports have claimed India is the 'Diabetes Capital' of the world. On average, Indians consume 50g of sugar daily. Conversely, WHO recommends half of that -- 25g in one day. The perpetrator of such a medically chronic epidemic can be found in the politics of the sugar industry, and the free reign that is given to companies by politicians. This issue could be traced to pre-colonial India, where the industrialisation of white sugar (a nutrient less chemically induced sweetener) combined with tariffs in 1930 increased its productio...

Centre Ignores Inflation: A Dangerous Sign For Nation’s Future

Isha PoddarJune 24, 20220

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is in inflation pointing central bank. Legally, RBI needs to check on inflation. The central bank expects the economy to increase by 7.5%, less than the IMF estimate of 9%. Economic growth has suffered a lot and will suffer more because of the nascent recovery hit by the COVID-19 wave, both at the international levels. The expenditure that the government is making is not high enough to provide a massive boost to the economy. Private consumption, which holds the key to growth, also went below the pre-pandemic levels and showed no sign of improving. RBI is hopeful the government-invested capital will make a massive difference in the coming time. The previous experience does not support this hope or expectation. The central bank believes that the reta...
