Agamapar ChadhaJune 29, 20220

Paedophilia In India: Elders’ Way Of Respect Reeks Conservative Backwardness

Agamapar ChadhaJune 28, 20220

Paedophilia in India, from a social point of view and victim’s perspective, remains undeterred even after the law is made for it. The victims of this sexual misconduct have to suffer and continue to stay mum. This is because paedophilia is no more than just another taboo due to the obvious sexual connotation. Adding on to the sex is the incestuous sexual misconduct which conflicts with India’s conservative family values. An Aunt, an in-law or parents of the child’s violator will never believe such an act and discard any complaint by children as they don’t think the violators are capable of acting this way. Moreover, due to the taboo nature of sex in India, children in society are less informed and are to trust and obey elders in their community completely. This makes them more susceptib

MalvikaJune 28, 20220

The US is not witnessing bizarre and irksome legal decisions for the first time. June 16 marks the death anniversary of George Stinney Jr, a 14-year-old who was executed brutally for a crime he did not commit. In 1944, this African-American teenager was electrocuted and executed in an electric chair. The conviction of George Stinney jr still should haunt us of hasty unjust trials and unfair judgments. He was arrested and awarded the death penalty on suspicion of the murder of two girls, Betty June and Mary Emma. It took the court (South Carolina) seventy years to clear his name and declare that he received an “unfair trial”. This case is cited as more of a mystery peddled with a lot of whatabouteries rather than a lapse in the jurisdiction. The whole trial procedure was just discri...

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 28, 20220

The results of a single Lok Sabha by-election are seldom sufficient to draw broad generalisations. That being said, SS Mann's Sangrur triumph for Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is exceptional enough to be the outlier. Mann, a politician commonly regarded as "extreme", has beat the odds and defeated AAP with 35.6% of the vote share. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has held the Sangrur constituency in the previous two Parliamentary elections. Candidates from the SAD, Congress and BJP, three long-time administrators of Punjab, all forfeited their deposits. Mann's success may be attributed to a growing dissatisfaction with the AAP. However, it is vital to situate his victory in the context of SAD's decline and the tumultuous nature of Punjab. Politics and Sikhism go hand in hand in the SAD. In 1996, ...
