Modi’s Next Weapon To Turn India Into A Dictatorship Is Economic Crimes

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

Narendra Modi, like Adolf Hitler, wants his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, to have ultimate power in Indian politics (BJP). To destroy the opposition, his government will use carrot-and-stick techniques. Eight years into Narendra Modi's reign, India's multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy is under peril. After Modi's BJP won a second term in 2019, the judiciary disintegrated. Justice A. M. Khanwilkar's final two rulings disregarded constitutional rights and the presumption of innocence. Khanwilkar began eroding these safeguards on June 25 when he disdained Zakia Jafri's appeal for justice and pushed the Modi government to prosecute those who assisted her. On July 27, two days before he retired, he dismissed 242 petitions challenging the executive branch's excessive powers to h...

India’s Spoken Language Contrasts Sharply With Administrative And Legal Language

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

After rejecting the Himachal Pradesh high court's "incomprehensible" verdict, the Supreme Court made a call for "brevity, simplicity, and clarity" across all levels of government. In the HC division bench judgement, one may find gems such as "contra thereto, became adduced by him, and he was thus ordered to dispel the factum" and "the ire res-controversia, exploding interse the plaintiffs, belongs to findings adverse to the workman." If the significance of this nonsense were not so grave, it would be amusing. The governing class of premodern societies confused the administrative language of design. This remained even after the so-called "modernization" began. In various Western democracies, efforts have been made over the last two decades or more to modernise and simplify the vocabu...

Future Of A Caring Nation Rests On Taking Care Of Its Children

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

Education in India may be a source of stress and worry for those from underprivileged backgrounds because of the potential risks to their sense of worth. According to studies on kid safety, abuse in schools often goes unreported or undiscovered until the abused child makes a formal complaint or the child's parents observe physical or behavioural changes. The abuse in the Jalore case in Rajasthan was well-known since the little victim recounted the occurrence and the worried parent observed the injuries. Some corporate news outlets are holding the lack of a portable pot at the school where the crime occurred as evidence against the deceased child's story of abuse and the father's claim of caste discrimination, even before the grieving parents have had time to come to terms with the traumati...

Unveiling Effective Leadership As Cornerstone Of Culture And Modern Civilisation

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

After a successful performance of Beethoven's violin concerto, the world-famous musician remarked, "I have a beautiful score, a magnificent violin, and a very fine bow. I can stand away after I've put things together. Great music, like most circumstances and fields in which effective leadership is required, demonstrates this truth. The best leaders are those who can step aside and let their followers take the reins when the time is right. For instance, the late Thomas Roberts, SJ, archbishop of Bombay, is a great example of empowering leadership within the Catholic church. He realised that the church in Bombay would benefit from local leadership following Independence and thus removed his subordinate, Valerian Gracias, from his position as bishop. This set the stage for a peaceful t...

Therapeutic Drug Can Render Cancer Cells: Study

Arpita SarkarAugust 26, 20220

The protective scent that many tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. However, it appears that a drug that is already approved for other uses can neutralize this weapon. A study from the University of Bonn and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer proves this. The researchers said, "The substance will now be further optimized. This could eventually lead to the development of anti-cancer drugs." Many cancer cells have dense clouds of adenosine around them. The chemicals suppress the immune system. Feeding it promotes the growth of new blood vessels. It hydrates the tumour. This additionally ensures that cancer cells spread to other organs. They develop metastases there. Adenosine triphosphate is u

Dr. Kankana DebnathAugust 25, 20220

A Loss Of Privacy For Personal Information: An Insight Of Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 25, 20220

The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 was abandoned after years of development. A "full legal framework" to safeguard people's data lacks precise timetables and guiding principles. The federal government removed the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (PDP Bill) from Parliament during the 2022 monsoon session. "Big tech" refers to US-based IT giants. The union government recently abandoned the third draught of the PDP Bill, which followed the 2018 Justice B N Srikrishna Committee suggestion. The union minister for electronics and information technology's statement in parliament that a thorough legal framework is being worked on is not convincing (JPC). Given the US government's backing for multinational digital technologies or "big tech," it's probable that pressure from outsid...

The Changing American Society: Hate Crimes Against Asians In US On Rise

Dr. Kankana DebnathAugust 25, 20220

Since past several years hate crimes against the Asians in the US are at rise. It appears that the hate is aimed against anyone who doesn’t follow the ideologies or agenda which is deemed as “American”. The concept to “embrace people for their differences” has been disappearing from the minds of American citizens. The US was considered as a nation that was an amalgamation of different people who were accepted without any bias of their ethnicity. But now that concept is being replaced by a “us and them” mentality. What is a hate crime? The Federal Bureau of Investigation defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender ident...

Supreme Court Opposes Different Abortion Limits For Unmarried Women; Read Here!

Arpita SarkarAugust 24, 20220

A woman whose live-in relationship has ended should be given the same right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy as a widow or divorced woman, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday, indicating that it would interpret the law to include "unmarried women" or "single women" under provisions that allow abortions up to 24 weeks. The court made the observations while hearing a plea by a 25-year-old woman who challenged the 20-week minimum limit under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, 1971, which applies to unmarried women seeking termination of pregnancy. The woman said she was abandoned by her partner. A bench observed, "Going by the legislative intent, a widow has lost the support of her life partner and in divorce too, there is loss of support from a life partner. This logic wil

Indian Women Get Less Access To Heart Transplant Surgeries Than Men: Data

Arpita SarkarAugust 23, 20220

Women in India are deprived of many things just because of their gender. One of them, it would appear, would be equitable access to data from some prominent hospitals on life-saving surgeries. Data have been collected from hospitals for three major surgical specialities that come with significantly high costs for operation/rehabilitation — cardiothoracic, organ transplant, and orthopaedic surgery. Data showed that there is a significant gender skew in favor of men in two specialties: cardiothoracic and transplant surgery. This is even when, doctors say, the chances of a man or a woman needing this surgery are comparable. However, the numbers seemed a little less skewed as one moves south, with doctors claiming that the gender gap in surgery is a reflection of social realities,...
