Sonia SolankiMarch 9, 20220

The environment minister Bhupender Yadav has announced that the Centre has made a provision to 'Decriminalise' the stubble burning in the law.   Stubble burning is a major problem among the farmer's community. As farmers do not have many options to use the stubble in an eco-friendly way. So, the most convenient and economically viable method is to burn them.

Yadav, during a meet on clean air organised by the Commission for Air Quality Management [CAQM], said that people have misconceptions about the term 'environment'. "We don't wa

Women’s Day 2022: India Fails To Celebrate Womanhood, Fizzles To Criminalise Marital Rape

Snehashish RoyMarch 8, 20220

The term marital rape is self-explanatory which refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse of a man with his wife. However, the Indian judiciary fails to recognise this as a crime and protects a man from being prosecuted on charges of rape. "Sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape,” reads exception 2 of Section 375. This states that women in India are only protected when they are below 15 years of age, unmarried or separated. Either of the conditions has exceptions according to the Indian context. Criminalising marital rape has remained a burning topic in contemporary times as awareness around consent is increasing rapidly. Many are challenging marital rape more than ever. Amid growing conversati...

Russia's historic partners Vietnam and Laos have abstained. Singapore has rarely made decisions to impose sanctions on Russia. US's ally, The Philippines, has remained silent over the crisis situation. Call For Peace Without Taking Sides Leaders from many Southeast Asian countries have come forwar...

Ukraine Crisis Impact: Petrol, Diesel Prices Likely To Shoot Up By Rs 15 to 20

Aditi priya singhMarch 7, 20220

The common man may have to bear the brunt of the inflation regarding petrol and diesel. Due to the enmity between Russia and Ukraine, it is affecting the economic condition of India including the whole world. From edible oil to crude oil, smartphones and many electronic gadgets have become expensive. With continued demand for oils disrupted due to war, global crude oil prices are expected to remain in the range of $95 to $125 a barrel in the short term. Consequently, the domestic prices of petrol and diesel in India are expected to rise by Rs 15-22 per litre due to the global rise in crude oil prices due to the geopolitical crisis. However, a cut in excise duty may reduce the impact on petrol and diesel prices to some extent, but not completely. India currently imports 85% of its...
