Concerning Traffic Congestion: Bengaluru Falls Behind Other Indian Cities

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 1, 20220

India has strict traffic laws. This is the definitive evidence that Hamara's politics will never change. TomTom, a navigation and mapping business, provides us with information for Bharat Mahaan by ranking four Indian cities among the world's 10 worst; as if being home to 9 of the 10 most polluted cities wasn't bad enough. Bangalore, often known as Bengaluru, is the most populous city in the state of Karnataka, ranking first, followed by Mumbai at number four, Pune at number five, and Delhi at number eight. Cities in India, and Asia more generally, have displaced some large U.S. metropolises that were once known for their gridlock among the worst in the world. San Francisco is much ahead of Los Angeles (at 59) and New York (at 52). The Greater Washington area, where I now live, is r...

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 1, 20220

Criminalization Of Marital Rape In India Remains Unrealized Five Years After ‘Puttaswamy’

Sayani ChakrabortySeptember 1, 20220

The framework of privacy established by the landmark ruling is based on physical integrity, decisional autonomy, individual dignity, and freedom; declaring the marital rape exemption to be "unconstitutional" would be the fitting realisation of this framework. On August 24, 2012, five years ago, the Supreme Court of India issued its historic nine-judge bench judgement in the case of K.S. Puttaswamy against Union of India, finding that the right to privacy is a fundamental right derived from article III of the Indian Constitution. Legal academics at the time stated that Puttaswamy might alter the legal landscape of women's rights in India, but that this would rely on the future case-by-case application of Puttaswamy by the courts. Both the legalisation of same-sex partnerships (in Nav...

Gunjan ChaudharyAugust 31, 20220

India has submitted its latest Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) under the Paris Agreement, emphasizing that it will meet its long-term goal of reaching net-zero by 2070. In a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) document submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in a cover letter on 23 August, Union Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav said that India's NDC will not take any sector specific mitigation action or does not bind liability. On August 3, the Union Cabinet had approved the country's NDCs, which incorporate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Panchamrut' strategy announced at the Glasgow conference last year. According to the latest NDC, India is now committed to ...

Vigillance Commission Guidelines That Apply On Acquisition Of Military Supplies; Read Here!

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 30, 20220

The people in the MoD and Services are responsible for procuring items and services only if the manuals cover every scenario. General Financial Rules (GFR) regulations are supplemented by the Department for the Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Central Vigilance Commission's (CVC) tender guidelines. Many acquisition training programmes stress the importance of following both departmental and CVC regulations. It would be a huge task to read the CVC's 72 circulars on public procurement through June 2022 and ensure compliance. This misperception must be addressed. The General Financial Regulations (GFRs) were first released in 1947 and updated by the Department of Expenditure of the Ministry of Finance in 2017. They control ministries' spending on products and se...

U U Lalit Hopes To Make Reforms Despite His Short Stint As Chief Justice Of India

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 30, 20220

UU Lalit, who is slated to become the next Chief Justice of India, has already made significant progress toward enhancing the internal processes of the Supreme Court. Reviewing the fact that the court has a history of being criticised for taking an excessively slow approach when considering constitutional and other critical matters (such as Article 370, electoral bonds, the EWS quota, etc.), this is of utmost importance. An exciting new method for cataloguing cases, which he has pledged to put into place by Thursday, is currently the subject of much anticipation. The fact that today two constitutional benches, each consisting of five judges, are sitting is another positive development. Yesterday, the bench presided over by CJI Lalit dismissed a number of cases known as public int...

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...

Will Modi Government Recognize Taliban Rule As India Re-opens Embassy In Kabul!!

Gunjan ChaudharyAugust 25, 20220

India has reopened its embassy in Afghanistan after the return of the Taliban to power. At present, a team of 60 to 70 officers and staff is stationed at the Kabul embassy. This team has been deployed under the leadership of a senior officer of the Indian Foreign Service. Initially, in the month of June, India had sent a technical team to take the search information of its embassy and consulates general. This deployment is practically being described as India's official diplomatic relationship with the Taliban. But, officially India has not yet established any relationship with the interim government of Taliban. In such a situation, the question arises whether India will restore diplomatic relations with the banned terrorist organization Taliban in the United Nations. India has been say...
