SinshaOctober 19, 20210

“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press and that cannot be limited without being lost.” This quote by Thomas Jefferson aptly describes the effect of regulation on the press. Today, the role of media in our daily life has become inimitable. Depriving our society of the right to voice their opinion, or to publish their views and sentiments is incredulous and disastrous. Both the Indian Constitution and the Supreme Court have time and again provided significant value to press freedom. On 8th October, Journalists Dmitri Muratov of Russia and Maria Ressa of the Philippines won the 2021 Nobel Prize for Peace for their courageous fight for freedom of expression.

Agamapar ChadhaApril 30, 20210

India and China have been arch-nemesis due to border clashes. It is the world's largest territorial dispute, with each side claiming parts of Sikkim, Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh. The portion that China governs is called the Line of Actual Control ( L.A.C. ). This L.A.C is dynamic and has changed due to multiple border skirmishes since Indian independence in 1947.

adminMarch 15, 20210

By Maneka Sanjay Gandhi In 2013 India started using Neonicotinoid pesticides in order to protect a crop that Monsanto had promised the Indian farmer he would not have to use pesticides on. These are the worst pesticides in the world and they have been indicted for having killed billions of bees on the planet. I called a meeting of ICAR in 2014 to ask for the ban of these pesticides. ICAR refused, even though they admitted that the bee population has gone down sharply. They said cotton was more important than fruit, grain, and flowers which are dependent on bee pollination! If the bees have gone down in number drastically, how has the honey production tripled? Till 2013 the yearly growth rate was only 0-4.8%. From 2013-14 the growth rate rocketed from 5.3 to 11.1 %.
