SinshaDecember 9, 20210

North Korean government has reportedly banned citizens from wearing leather trench coats as they don’t encourage ordinary citizens to copy the fashion choice of the country’s leader Kim Jong Un. According to reports, there has been a ban on young men wearing leather trench coats. The popularity of leather jackets in North Korea leaped after Kim Jong-Un appeared on television wearing in 2019.

Caste: The Linchpin Of Indian State

MalvikaDecember 8, 20210

The constitution drafted by Dr. Ambedkar, endeavors to give a political voice to the disempowered faction of this country. Still, the grim tale of casteism cripples India even after countless years of the constitution coming into effect. Stifling and neglecting the voices of this very section of the society. Recent Pivotal Points of Caste Discourse JJ Gnaavel's Jai Bhim premiered on Amazon prime, staring the Tamil superstar Suriya. Hailed as one of the best to come out of Tamil cinema this year, Jai Bhim does not shy away from showing the brutalities of the system. It shows that at its core the police atrocities and group criminality are very much a caste issue. Dominant castes usually resist the democratization of social relations and status of Dalits by schooling them via subjugat...

In UP, Policymaking Needs To Be More Evidence-Based

Abhay ChauhanDecember 8, 20210

Often BJP lawmakers have coaxed their fellow Hindu brethren to produce more children. Few BJP ruled states flirted with this idea- such as Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. But the front runner in this cause is Uttar Pradesh. The need for such a law as stated by its proponents is to stabilize and control the growing population which poses enormous stress on the limited capacity of the state. But quite often the real motives are veiled behind loaned reasoning, as the claims of population disaster are not backed by authentic data and it seems that it is not really a concern for the increasing population but that increase is specifically targeted to a community, which i...

The Surveillance State: The Moral Cost Of Being Watched Every Time

Abhay ChauhanDecember 8, 20210

No matter how hard political theorists try to convince, the modern nation-state system is essentially autocratic at the core. Whether you go to Germany, the United States or recent democracies like India, in whatever fabric the democracy is presented, certainly it is not close to anything like the textbook definition of democracy. As a system that has been in use for more than two hundred years with all the advanced ideas, it's the least perfect. One of the most fundamental differences between the various democracies lies not in their constitutional or legal arrangements but in the degree of autocracy they exercise visibly or invisibly.One can say that the army and the police are perhaps the most visible arm of the state in exercising their autocracy, but with limitations but what gets of...
