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

Read MoreDecoding Capabilities Of Modi Regime With Regards To J&K’s Frontier Regions In India
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...
Read More“No Other Leader Like Him”: Ex-MLA Dal Singh Yadav Who Made Debut With Mulayam Singh Yadav: Read On Here To Know More!
In 1967, Dal Singh Yadav was elected from Jalalabad in the Shahjahanpur district on a ticket from the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS), while Mulayam Singh Yadav was elected from Jaswant Nagar in Etawah district on a ticket from the Samyukta Socialist Party (SSP). “He was unique, there was no other leader like him.” In 1967, Mulayam Singh Yadav was elected to the State Assembly for the first time.

Read MoreRahul Gandhi Says Have To Save Youth From Hate Politics During “Bharat Jodo Yatra” Deets Inside!!!
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, made an appeal to the youth to participate in the Bharat Jodo Yatra in order to convey the message of peace and fraternity and unify India. A group of young people met Rahul Gandhi on Sunday and joined him in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which the Congress says aims to raise awareness of their concerns. They were carrying placards decrying "growing" unemployment and racial and ethnic division in India. On the 32nd day of the yatra, which began on September 7, Gandhi claimed that some political groups were attempting to incite enmity in the nation by deceiving children. During his 20-km yatra on Sunday, the former Congress president engaged with a variety of people, including kids, ladies, and a local musician. He was joined by senior leader Siddar
Read MoreIndia Hops On Vanguard Of Mobility Revolution With ‘Vande Bharat’
Two stories have dominated news cycles recently -- launching the Ahmedabad–Mumbai Vande Bharat train and India being the fifth biggest economy. At first, the two seem unrelated. Vande Bharat may be a roadmap for India's climb to worldwide prominence for an enlightened citizen. As the steel giant chugged into Mumbai Central on its inaugural trip, people flocked to take photos with it. All this was justified. The Vande Bharat Express makes India's semi-high-speed rail network more accessible and affordable. Aerodynamic design helps it reach 160 kph in under 140 seconds. Alternating power sources between carriages reduces travel time by 40–45% compared to regular express trains. Bio-vacuum toilets, reclining seats, onboard Wi-Fi, digital entertainment, and dust-free cabins make for a p...
Read MoreBJP Has More Cards In Its Hand Than Uddhav Has In Maha BMC Showdown
Large audiences during Dussehra rallies held by Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray factions served as a teaser for the main event, the BMC elections. It is estimated that Shinde has the backing of 40 or more MLAs and more than a dozen MPs. How much influence does he actually have on the cadre, though? Shinde needed to demonstrate his credibility by performing well in Mumbai, which is considered Thackeray territory. Now the two camps can only hope they score well in the only test that matters: the polls. In 2017, Shiv Sena narrowly defeated the BJP for control of BMC, with a final score of 84 to 82. That was proof of how far the BJP had come in Mumbai. The Sena's internal strife may have given the BJP a greater opportunity to seize control of India's wealthiest local gove...
Read MoreEC’s Idea Of Freebie Seems As Unrealistic As Indian Politics Demands For Reform
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...

Read MoreSupreme Court’s Landmark Judgement: Right To Abortion For All!! Married Or Unmarried Women!!
