Mob Lynching

By- Shrey Jain

Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor or to intimidate a group. A recent report by India Spend, basing itself on the content analysis of news reports, concludes that “In the first six months of 2017, 20 cowterror attacks were reported–more than 75 percent of the 2016 figure, which was the worst year for such violence since 2010. The attacks include mob lynching, attacks by vigilantes, murder and attempt to murder, harassment, assault and gang-rape. In two attacks, the victims/survivors were chained, stripped and beaten, while in two others, the victims were hanged.”

According to India Today “, At least 16 cases of lynching have been reported from Tripura to Maharashtra since May 10, the latest being the lynching of five men in Dhule district. These incidents caused deaths of 22 people including a transgender” Social and political commentators have blamed this violence on a rise in socio-political and religious cleavages, a rise of vigilantism and an apparent atmosphere of impunity for attackers.

“The violence started with cow-related vigilantism but it is now building up more violent behavior–from small to big reasons anything could be the trigger,” psychologist Upneet Lalli, deputy director of the Institute of Correctional Administration in Chandigarh, told India Spend.

Videos of people tied and beaten, begging mobs to spare their lives, have been circulating on WhatsApp groups and other social media, affecting people everywhere. Also, Social media is aiding and abetting the process Mob psyche is different from the individual psyche. “When an individual acts, there is a sense of responsibility, but in a mob, there is a dispersion of responsibility and guilt.” The mob justifies its act as heroism to save the community, their identity, their children, themselves.

Ramayan: The philosophy of Life

By- Neha Sharma

 

An Inspirational tale of sacrifice, love, separation, conflict & redemption. Ramayana depicts characters that we should aspire to be like. It treads on the righteous path of Dharma and karma.
In order to overcome the ills prevalent in society, follow the teachings of Ramayana in these modern days. The Ramayana speaks the true identity of the individual, the real meaning of family and the sanctity of the society. It explains in detail the relationship that should exist between the preceptor and the discipline.
Ramayana teaching should be put into practice only then man can live a life of peaceful purpose.
It exhorts to transform one’s heart by practicing the noble values of prosperity, devotion and righteousness. Rama has devoted the highest virtues of truth, purity, fame, beauty & prosperity.

The fact is that every individual is divine, but due to immense attachment of men with his body, they are unable to know or recognize their divine nature. So you can experience and enjoy divinity only by treading along the path of love and truth shown by lord Ram.
The Ramayana is a Universal epic. Its influence stretches across countries, civilization, continents, culture, cults, creeds, classes etc and cultures.
It expounds rules for daily life and living. It also propagates the importance of love, Justice, Sacrifice and virtue. It cautions man against the danger of the six evils namely kama (lust), krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attainment), Mada (pride), and Matsarya (envy, jealousy).
Sita’s abduction by Ravana brought about the downfall of Ravana. This great epic teaches that Good always wins over evil even it is more powerful as illustrated by the victory of Ram over Ravana.

Classroom Management: Try Positive Discipline

A classroom management approach that focuses on the positive is one time-tested method to deal with kids who are misbehaving. But some who use this approach are getting some brushback from old-school teachers (and parents) who, stubbornly, insist that teachers who employ a use classroom management plan that focuses on only the positive is one that is too “Soft” on children.
However, lots of modern-day teachers still insist that the positive approach is the way to go. Today on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, who has been a successful elementary school educator in Upstate New York for eons, looks at why positive disciplining is still disciplining.
Janelle’s ideas include:
  • Positive Discipline Teaches Logic
  • Rewarding Students for a Good Choice is Positive
  • And More!

In summation, Janelle notes: “The goal of using the positive discipline approach is to produce students who can think critically and make good decisions on their own. It allows students to learn and adapt from their behaviors in order to meet the expectations of their teacher. By teaching students (in a positive way) to make better choices, we are leading them on the path to success.”

Here\’s why you should use positive discipline in your class every day>>

प्यूरा योजना

                          Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas –  अरबन एमिनिटीज इन रूरल एरिया का संक्षिप्त रूप है-प्यूरा। इसे हिन्दी में कहा जा सकता है। -’गा्रमीण क्षेत्रों में शहरी सुविधाएं उपलब्ध कराना’। इस योजना का उद्देश्य पहचाने गए गा्रमीण क्षेत्रों में शहरी सुविधाओं के सृजन और आधुनिक किफायती सम्पर्क के माध्यम से गा्रमीण-शहरी अंतर को दूर करना है। ’प्यूरा’ का मूल तथ्य है कि एक शहर के इर्द-गिर्द गांवों में विकास की अन्तर्निहित क्षमता है और यदि इन गांवों को आवश्यक आधारभूत सुविधाएं प्रदान की जाएं, तो वे आस-पास के क्षेत्र के लिए विकास केन्द्रों के ,रूप में उभर सकते हैं। इस योजना का उद्देश्य है- विकास की क्षमता रखने वाले चयनित नगरों के आस-पास गा्रमीण समूहों को पहचानना और उन समूहों से निम्नलिखित चार प्रकार की सम्पर्कता प्रदान करना-
                1.सड़क, परिवहन और बिजली की उपलब्धता।     2.बाजार सम्पर्कता जिससे किसान एवं अन्य गा्रमीण उत्पादक अपने उत्पादों के लिए अधिकतम मूल्य प्राप्त कर सकें।
          3.विश्वसनीय टेलिकॉम, इंटरनेट एवं सूचना प्रोद्योगिकी सुविधाओं के साथ इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स सम्पर्कता।
                4.अच्छी शैक्षिक एवं प्रशिक्षण संस्थाओं के रूप में ज्ञान उपलब्ध कराना। शहरों के आस-पास जिन गा्रमीण समूहों का चयन किया जाएगा उनके लिए अलग-अलग विस्तृत परियोजना रिर्पोट तैयार की जाएगी, जिससे कि वहां सृजित की जाने वाली विश्ष्टि आधारभूत सुविधाओं की पहचान की जा सके। वैसे सामान्य तौर पर प्रत्येक गा्रमीण समूह को निम्नलिखित सुविधाएं अवश्य उपलब्ध कराई जाएंगी-‘प्यूरा‘ के लिए जो नीति अपनाई गई है उसके अन्तर्गत ‘प्यूरा‘ समूहों में सृजित की जाने वाली आधारभूत सुविधाएं, योजना के पहले चरण में, भारत सरकार एवं राज्य सरकारों की मौजूदा योजनाओं के माध्यम से सृजित की जाएगी। ऐसी अनेक योजनाएं हैं जिनका उपयोग चुने हुए समूहों के विकास के लिए किया जा सकता है। आधारभूत सुविधाएं सृजित करने के अलावा स्वर्णजयंती गा्रम स्वरोजगार योजना जैसी योजनाओं का उपयोग इन समूहों के गरीबों को स्वरोजगार के अवसर उपलब्ध कराने के लिए नए तरीके से किया जा सकता है। उदाहरणार्थ-लोगों को टैक्सी सर्विस, कृषि सेवा केन्द्र, विपणन सुविधाएं आदि शुरू करने के लिए वित्तिय सहायता दी जा सकती है। इस तरह दी गई सुविधाओं के अलावा समूह के विकास के लिए अन्य मंत्रालयों की योजनाओं का भी उपयोग किया जा सकता है। लेकिन आधारभूत सुविधा सम्बन्धी कमी को पूरा करने के लिए ‘प्यूरा‘ के अन्तर्गत सिर्फ अनुपूरक सहायता दी जाएगी।
                                ’प्यूरा’ जैसी परियोजना देश में पहली बार शुरू की जा रही है, इसलिए यह जरूरी है कि इसे देश भर में चलाने से पहले कुछ प्रायोगिक परियोजनाओं के माध्यम से इसकी सफलता की जांच की जाए। इसी उद्देश्य से 2004-05 के दौरान इस तरह की केवल सात प्रायोगिक परियोजनाएं सात राज्यों में शुरू की जाएंगी। वे सात राज्य हैं- उत्तर -प्रदेश, राजस्थान, बिहार,उड़ीसा, महाराष्ट्र, असम और आंध्र प्रदेश। प्रायोगिक परियोजनाओं को 10-15 गांवों के एक समूह से शुरू किया जाएगा। प्यूरा के अंतर्गत परियोजनाओं की जांच उनकी स्वीकृति और कार्यान्वयन की निगरानी के लिए एक संचालन समिति गठित की गई। भारत सरकार के सचिव को इस समिति का अक्ष्यक्ष बनाया गया। समिति की पहली बैठक 11 जनवरी 2005 को बुलाई गई जिसमें निर्णय लिया गया कि प्रत्येक चयानित समूह को 4-5 करोड़ रूपये की वित्तिय सहायता उपलब्ध कराई जाएगी। प्रारभ्म के चरण में इन परियोजनाओं की कार्य अवधि 3 वर्ष की होगी
