Justice UU Lalit, when suggested Justice D Chandrachud as his replacement when the mechanism intended for the collegium of the Supreme Court and described in the 1999 Memorandum of Procedure, was put into motion by the present Chief Justice of India (CJI). Because of this, the institution of the "collegium" system, which controls nominations in the higher judiciary, has once again gained attention. The term 'Collegium' refers to a system for the appointment and transfer of judges within India's higher courts that was created as a result of Supreme Court (SC) rulings rather than a statute approved by Parliament or a provision in the Constitution. The collegium has frequently been referred to as an extra-constitutional or unconstitutional group that was established as a result of Sup...

Malnourishment Among Indian Women: A Challenge At Hand After 75 Years Of Independence

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Among developing nations, India has one of the highest rates of malnourished adult women. Add to it the fact that many new mothers in India are adolescents, 75% of whom are anaemic, and that most gain less weight during pregnancy than is healthy (5 kilograms on average compared to the global average of close to 10 kilograms). Food is not a choice. Eating nutritious meals is essential for survival and growth. The right to food is an essential component of the right to life. Given that 1 in 4 Indian women of reproductive age are underweight, the denial of their right to food frequently has at its root the glaring lack of gender parity. Women and girls live under incredibly harmful gender-based social norms every day, which frequently results in them "eating last, eating last, and eati...

Are Political Parties In Maharashtra Treating Voters Fairly?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 19, 20220

The BJP has pulled their candidate from the upcoming by-election in Andheri, Maharashtra. It's the first major election in the state since the MVA administration fell because to infighting within the Shiv Sena. As a result of the BJP's vote, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena's nominee, Rutuja Latke, is virtually certain of victory. Ramesh Latke, the victor of the last election, has passed away, necessitating a by-election. BJP withdrew their candidate after being publicly lobbied by rival political parties to do so. The reason for this is that it is the political custom in Maharashtra to provide uncontested victories to the surviving relatives of candidates who have passed away. There is a catch here. Among the lawmakers that asked the BJP to withdraw its candidate was Sh...

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 18, 20220

By 2026, the Indian semiconductor market is expected to be valued $300 billion, up from the $119 billion forecasted for 2021 by the Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) and Contrast Investigate. On September 14, a joint venture between Vedanta and Foxconn signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat administration, committing to invest Rs 1,54,000 crore to create the facility in the state. This is the largest corporate investment in India's post-independence history. The report predicts that India will overtake China as the world's second-largest market for semiconductor mechanisms because to the widespread adoption of smartphones, wearables, cloud data centres, Industry 4.0 applications, IoT, smart agility, and public utilities infrastructure. ...

Why Supreme Court’s Decision On Abortion Is A Monumental Victory?

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 17, 20220

The Supreme Court's ruling that unmarried women have the same right to abortion access as married women in the event of a medical emergency. This action is required to rectify a discrepancy between the law as written and as it is actually being applied. This ruling, which has been praised by feminists and medical professionals all over the world, marks a turning point in India's progress toward gender equality and the advancement of women's health. The Supreme Court held that there is no basis to exclude single or unmarried women from the categories of women who can seek abortion treatment after 20 weeks, but before 24 weeks, based on the equality provision of the Constitution and women's rights to dignity, privacy, and bodily autonomy. This Supreme Court ruling will go a long...

Decoding Capabilities Of Modi Regime With Regards To J&K’s Frontier Regions In India

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 12, 20220

The borders represent authority symbolically and geographically. Watchtowers, barbed wire, and fences demonstrate the nation's supremacy. The border determines a state's bounds and people's identity. People on either side of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir border have few ties. India and Pakistan's tensions leave border residents in an uncomfortable situation. These people have particular requirements because they face distinct challenges. Along J&K's common border with Pakistan are the IB and the LoC. Since 1947, terrorist acts and cross-border shootings have caused concern. As a result, the economy, agriculture, livelihood, education, etc. suffer. To secure their safety, border residents must increase their 'capability development.' The Indian government is working on sever...

EC’s Idea Of Freebie Seems As Unrealistic As Indian Politics Demands For Reform

Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 7, 20220

The Election Commission has surveyed the various political parties to gauge interest in using a standardised style for election manifestos to disclose the monetary consequences of campaign pledges. The format specifications will be included in the optional model code of conduct. EC's goal is for voters to make a well-informed decision. It's worth noting that five months ago, EC told the highest court that it's up to voters to decide whether or not election promises may be kept. It's possible for EC to have a change of heart. But will this really work? Making accurate economic predictions is difficult since they rely on assumptions that don't always pan out. It is therefore unlikely to yield useful information to ask political parties to make assumptions about their budgetary pled...

PFI Ban: Modi Government Takes Measure Keeping With Its “Zero Tolerance” Stance Toward Terrorism

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 29, 20220

On September 22, the CIA and DEA started simultaneous operations in 11 states. NIA and ED raided PFI offices and affiliates (PFI). Muslims accuse PFI of sponsoring terrorism and extremism. A large-scale, well-planned attack in many states sent shockwaves across the country. This operation captured 106 PFI officials and seized damning documents, guns, and explosives. PFI opposed the surgery to avoid controversy. Investigation agencies exposed the public to the central government's true face as reports circulated that they were detaining Opposition leaders to crush them. The group started volunteering in 2006. The 1992 Babri Mosque incident revealed the group's true character. This group's terrorist and Islamic extremist acts in South India were planned to terrorise Hindus. In the ens...

President Who Is Not Attached To Gandhi Family Likely To Form Revived Congress

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 29, 20220

The Congress party will soon be shattering a consensus that has been held for the past 24 years. Everyone in the Congress Party knows that only Gandhi can head the party. In the coming days, the Indian National Congress will elect its first non-Gandhi president since 1998. In order to keep the party together, only Gandhi can serve as president, and the chaotic Rao-Kesari years are used as evidence. Despite the Congress party's overwhelming electoral loss since 2014, there has been no credible call inside the party for a leader other than Gandhi to assume the presidency. The true reason everyone is looking for a Gandhi is that the party's middle ranks are so bitterly split that no one wants to see someone from that group promoted to the party leader. As such, the Gandhis can serve...

Breaking Down Cryptocurrency: Perspectives On Future Of Blockchain And Digital Finance In India

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 23, 20220

As the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), genetic engineering, and other technologies continue to develop, India is on the threshold of a historically momentous era. New methods of doing business, making payments, and increasing productivity are emerging at a breakneck pace because of this accelerating pace of innovation across all sectors. In the driver's seat lies the crucial Blockchain technology, which is frequently confused with digital currency. In other words, we need to separate technology from its applications. Indeed, digital money is one of the early use of blockchain technology. IBM describes blockchain technology as "a shared, unchangeable ledger that supports the process of recording transactions and monitoring assets in a corporate network." Real ...
