The Papuan Conflict: Unknown War That Still Continues

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 2, 20220

The Papuan movement is little known worldwide, with little media covering the situation. As the Russo-Ukrainian conflict captures the attention due to the N.A.T.O and American planning because of domestic and international discrimination, the Papuan tribe's pain is not recognised. It is on the brink of utter submission to its aggressors Indonesia. The conflict is old as the nation of Indonesia and West Papua. In 1961 the Dutch relinquished their control over the Dutch East Indies, becoming Indonesia. The Guineas, later renamed West Papua, were also freed in 1962. However, this independence did not last long as Indonesians took control of the territory and annexed it in 1963. In the form of the U.N., the Western powers decreed the Act Of Free Choice in 1969.

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 1, 20220

Since the rise of industrialisation and urbanisation across the globe for human leisure and comfort, these technological advancements have taken a toll on nature and the world's environments. Many natural disasters and ill changes have occurred globally ever since and continue to plague the Earth's ecosystem to the point of destruction. To combat this, environmentalists actively protest for stopping, reforming and innovating methods and means used by modern factories and other industrial structures to save the planet and protect the environment. However, the messengers of this message are getting killed in Columbia. In Columbia, after the historic 2016 peace agreement ended, a 50-year-old civil war between the government and the leftist F.A.R.C. guerrillas. The programme sought t...

Maha Politics: BJP’s Move To Make Shinde CM Is More Troubling To Uddhav Than His Resignation

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 1, 20220

The BJP showed its tactical prowess by appointing Eknath Shinde as Maharashtra CM. The BJP's mistake in 2019 was to play the position of a big brother too aggressively, and that cost them, Shiv Sena, as a partner. With Devendra Fadnavis as Shinde's deputy, the larger Sena group has returned to the NDA with a courteous re-entry. Having a Maratha Sainik as the CM would lessen the sting of the charges of treachery levelled by Thackeray's father and son. Furthermore, deputy CM Shinde has a higher chance of wooing supporters of the Uddhav faction than CM Shinde. Shinde, in contrast to Uddhav, may be less difficult for BJP to deal with since he never forgave the party for lowering Sena to its junior partner. The CM is Shinde, although the BJP is expected to retain a large number of critic...

Arpita SarkarJuly 1, 20220

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 30, 20220

After Maharashtra governor BS Koshyari ordered the MVA administration to establish its majority, it hurried to the Supreme Court yesterday. Uddhav Thackeray has been forced to resign as chief minister after the Supreme Court supported the integrity of the floor test and refused to allow any additional postponement. Disqualification notifications for Shiv Sena rebels should have been sent on July 12 to 16, rather than July 12 to 16. There had been concerns that the floor test might be delayed as a result. To cut through the haze of competing claims and counterclaims, the use of trust motions has proven effective throughout the years. Ten days have passed since the last episode of Shiv Sena's internal squabbles. Prolonging the chaos served no purpose for the general people. Delays would h...
