Sayani ChakrabortyJune 29, 20220

Police in the Indian capital, Delhi, have detained Mohammed Zubair, the co-founder of ALT News and a self-described "fact-checker." An angry Hanuman devotee has accused Zubair of spreading hostility and hurting religious sensibilities with a tweet. The anti-Modi movement has been put to the test by Zubair's detention. Anti-Muslim sentiments have been criticised by opposition parties and some well-known opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who claim that the arrest is the product of a vindictive "Islamophobia." To wit: "Delhi Police arrest Muslim Journalist Mohammed Zubair..." in the UK's The Guardian newspaper.

Punjab By-Election: S S Mann’s Victory Is Worrisome; Not Because AAP’s Losing Shine

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 28, 20220

The results of a single Lok Sabha by-election are seldom sufficient to draw broad generalisations. That being said, SS Mann's Sangrur triumph for Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is exceptional enough to be the outlier. Mann, a politician commonly regarded as "extreme", has beat the odds and defeated AAP with 35.6% of the vote share. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has held the Sangrur constituency in the previous two Parliamentary elections. Candidates from the SAD, Congress and BJP, three long-time administrators of Punjab, all forfeited their deposits. Mann's success may be attributed to a growing dissatisfaction with the AAP. However, it is vital to situate his victory in the context of SAD's decline and the tumultuous nature of Punjab. Politics and Sikhism go hand in hand in the SAD. In 1996, ...

India, Russia Works Together On Energy Cooperation As Major Oil Companies Suspend Operations

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 28, 20220

Many western oil and gas corporations have terminated collaborative Arctic energy projects with Russia because of the Ukraine situation. Russia's military intervention in Ukraine has fueled fears of Western economic penalties as well as resistance to Russia. Energy companies such as BP, Equinor, ExxonMobil and Shell are evaluating their options for exiting Russian operations. In the Russian Far East, the Sakhalin-1 multinational collaboration of oil and gas development corporations has seen similar patterns. As a result, ExxonMobil has already suspended activities in Sakhalin-1 and is anticipated to complete its withdrawal from the joint venture in the near future. Two ONGC Videsh Ltd. (India), Sakhalin Oil and Gas Development Co. Ltd. (Japan), Sakhalinmorneftegas-Shelf and RN...

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...

Common Post-Covid Behavioural Issues Found In Students As Situation Normalises

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Behavioral issues are currently on the increase as detentions and suspensions are mounting everywhere in the country. If we think of an example of a behavioral issue, it can be using your phone without permission. This shows that some students are getting down to become keen on their phones and tablets. this is not good because if students are obsessed with their electronics they are not visiting study reception and as a result, their grades will drop. Another behavioral issue immediately is cheating. When kids were virtual, many kids took advantage of not fixing effort and told their parents to try to to their work for them or cheated because there was no way for the teacher to grasp if you had another tab open employing a calculator or an out of doors resource. Now that we are ...

Water Rights To Women: Unbiased, Accurate Research Would Induce Gender Sensitivity

Pooja YadavJune 27, 20220

Agriculture in India is becoming increasingly reliant upon groundwater and irrigation to extend production amid unpredictable rainfall patterns. only if women are answerable for producing the maximum amount of 80% of food, water rights are tantamount to women’s rights. With some 100 million women working in agriculture, India’s food security depends on ensuring that these women have equitable, consistent and convenient access to water that doesn't reinforce or generate new prejudices and downsides. as an example, women and girls spend an estimated four hours on a daily basis fetching water— time that might be spent on higher-value activities, including education and agribusiness. Initiatives and projects designed to enhance water access and security to extend agricultural product...

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 ...

Maharashtra Diary: It’s Time To Dispel ‘Magic Number’, ‘Anti-Defection’ Misconceptions

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 27, 20220

A solution to the Shiv Sena's dissidence dilemma has yet to be found. Opposition lawmakers in the state and TV anchors parked outside the Radisson Blu hotel in Guwahati are ecstatic over the growing number of dissidents. However, amid all this drama, most politicians and the media have shattered the weak anti-defection rule, resulting in a great deal of uncertainty. Everyone is talking about the number 37 like it's some kind of mystical potion. It is assumed that the dissident group of Eknath Shinde may avoid disqualification if it can get the support of at least 37 MLAs, or two-thirds of the party's 55 lawmakers. When it comes to the initial legislation on defection, the Constitution's 10th Schedule, most individuals conveniently forget about things they should have known about. Def...

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...

US Supreme Court Rolls Back Abortion Rights: What Could Be Its Wide-Ranging Consequence?

Snehashish RoyJune 25, 20220

The Supreme Court in the United States has overturned the Americans' constitutional right to get an abortion in a ruling and upheld the abortion ban implemented in one of the States, Mississippi, after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ruling cited the US constitution and said it does not guarantee abortion rights directly or through another rights. The ruling by the apex court in the country has laid out a precedent for grave consequences in days to come that may not be visible today. Although the court's decision isn't barring abortion across the US, it is, however, opening windows for arguments over the legality of abortion in state legislatures. Impediments to come following recent ruling Unlike earlier, States will now look for opportunities to prohibit or regulate abortion base...
