Arpita SarkarJuly 27, 20220

A United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) study (2018), reveals that indoor air pollution may contribute to between 22 and 52% of India's overall pollution levels. The report suggests that indoor emissions need to be reduced to improve air quality. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4 million people die every year from pneumonia and other diseases caused by indoor air pollution. The report said, "A number of studies indicate that reducing emissions from household cooking and heating may be required to substantially improve ambient air quality in some parts of Asia and the Pacific."

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 27, 20220

The UN's World Population Prospects 2022 has increased attention in India's demographic challenges. India will exceed China in population in 2023, with 1.428 billion people compared to China's 1.425 billion. By 2022, the world's population might reach 7.9 billion. According to current patterns, population growth won't decrease until the globe reaches 10.4 billion in 2086. Large-population countries' demographic decline would start sooner. China (2024), Brazil (2047), Indonesia (2061), and India are sooner-than-expected prospects (2064). Pakistan and Nigeria's populations will continue to expand beyond 2085, whereas the US's will stabilise. India's population growth has increased density. Land, water, minerals, and energy are scarce per people, hindering growth. India has 477 peop...

Murmu’s Mantras: Service And Comprehensive Education As Two Components To Development

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 27, 20220

Two themes came through loud and clear in Droupadi Murmu's statement after taking the oath of office as India's next president: service and integrated education. Murmu has highlighted the 19 th century Saint poet of Odisha, Bhima Bhoi, “mo jivan pachhe narke padithau, jagata uddhara heu”, which means that “the world must be saved even if I suffer hell for that cause.” The significance of this poem is undeniable, despite the difficulties of accurately expressing the saint poet's spiritual vision and the inherent problem of translating spiritual poetry into another language. Even in the midst of chaos, misery abounds. When the poet witnesses the suffering of others, he is moved to tears, and he would give up everything, even his own life, to help those in need. Those who can sense the ang...

String Of Pearls Theory: The Chinese Dragon Tightening Around Asia

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 27, 20220

China is viewed as one of the biggest threats there is to world peace, second to Russia. Its communist autocracy concerns democracies all over the globe especially considering its economic rise and as the most quickly developing nation. The Chinese imperialistic aims are on full display with border disputes against India, allying with countries opposed to the West and democracies in general and debt-trapping nations that have crippling economies like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and many more. Focusing more on the debt trapping China's plan of crashing economies and flinging nations is part of the bigger plan called 'Belt and Road Initiative, which China masquerades as the philanthropic mission of providing economic aid and building infrastructure. This, in reality, is a systematic undermini...

Human Trafficking In Iraq: Every Trafficker’s Favourite Jam

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 26, 20220

The media has only paid to violence, terror and war in Iraq, ignoring the side-effects of the ongoing instability and war instability in Iraq, particularly human trafficking. Human trafficking in Iraq prevailed under Saddam Hussain; the situation worsened by the end of his reign. The U.S. Department of State's 2020 Trafficking in Persons Report ranked Iraq as a tier 2 country. A Tier 2 status means that the nation has not been successful in trafficking using its implemented measures. One of the measures by the Iraqi government includes identifying seventy victims of human trafficking. It has been acknowledged as much higher than this. The blame is passed on to the lack of functioning a functioning in fracture for combating human trafficking correctly. An example is a report from the

Vikas DeshwalJuly 26, 20220

Shinzo Abe: Staunch Advocate For ‘Indo-Pacific’ From ‘Asia-Pacific’

Dr. Kankana DebnathJuly 26, 20220

Japan lost its longest-serving PM Shinzo Abe on 8th July 2022. He was assassinated while giving a speech in Nara, Japan. Abe has been a visionary in re-imaging the geopolitical design of the Indo-Pacific. He was the ‘architect’ of the Quad during its initial years and remained its key champion throughout its revival. Abe stressed the importance of joining the Pacific and Indian oceans creating a “broader Asia”, from which the present concept of Indo-Pacific evolved. Advocate for ‘free and open Indo-Pacific’ Shinzo Abe has been hailed as the pioneer of the concept of the “Indo-Pacific”. Before 2007 the area stretching all the way from Australia and US to China was known as Asia-Pacific. Abe feared the threat from China which was at the centre of this geopolitical landscape. He was the...

France’s Africa: A Story Of Modern Day Colonialism

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 26, 20220

The French Empire was one of the most powerful in human history. At its height, it controlled almost ten per cent of the world's land area. The country was a dominant global power from Southeast Asia to West Africa. And that was particularly true in Africa. France oversaw territory spanning 17 modern-day nations, from Morocco to the Congo. Under the banner of a "civilising mission," France managed brutal occupations that engorged the empire's wealth. It left a terrible legacy for ordinary Africans – marked by slavery, extraction, and murder. And today, France's empire in Africa is STILL around – in a streamlined, more profitable, and even more exploitative form. In the aftermath of the Second World War, a wave of decolonial movements swept across Africa and Asia. And the French –...

The DG in his press release noted the spread of the disease in more than 75 countries of the world.

Isha PoddarJuly 25, 20220

A deadly outbreak of an unidentified disease in Tanzania has been recognised as leptospirosis, health officials said. More than 20 cases, including three dyings, have been reported in the southern Lindi region, with patients depicting signs similar to Ebola or Marburg virus infections -- bleeding, especially from the nose, fever, headache and fatigue, according to health officials.
