Whom do you call a good leader?

Patient and steady with all he must bear

Ready to meet every challenge with care

Easy in manner, yet solid at steel,

String in his faith, refreshingly real,

Isn’t afraid to propose what is bold,

Doesn’t conform to the usual mould,

Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won’t do

Never backs down when he sees what is true,

Tells it all straight and means it all too,

Going forward and knowing he’s right,

Even when doubted for why he would fight

Over and over he makes his case clear,

Reaching to touch the ones who won’t hear,

Growing in strength, he would not be unnerved,

Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word.

Wanting the world to join his firm stand,

Bracing for war, but praying for peace,

Using his power so eveil will cease :

So much a leader and worthy of trust,

What is it that makes some people excel in leadership roles? Leadership theories seek to explain how and why certain people become leaders. Such theories often focus on the characteristics of leaders, but some attempt to identify the behaviors that people can adopt to improve their own leadership abilities in different situations.

Early debates on the psychology of leadership often suggested that such skills were simply abilities that people were born with. In other words, these theories proposed that certain people were simply “born leaders.” Some more recent theories propose that possessing certain traits may help make people nature leaders, but that experience and situational variables also play a critical role.

A Closer Look at Leadership Theories
As interest in the psychology of leadership has increased over the last 100 years, a number of different leadership theories have been introduced to explain exactly how and why certain people become great leaders.

What exactly makes a great leader? Do certain personality traits make people better suited to leadership roles, or do characteristics of the situation make it more likely that certain people will take charge? When we look at the leaders around us—be it our employer or the President—we might find ourselves wondering exactly why these individuals excel in such positions.

People have long been interested in leadership throughout human history, but it has only been relatively recently that a number of formal leadership theories have emerged. Interest in leadership increased during the early part of the twentieth century.

Early leadership theories focused on what qualities distinguished between leaders and followers, while subsequent theories looked at other variables such as situational factors and skill levels. While many different leadership theories have emerged, most can be classified as one of eight major types.

“Great Man” Theories
Have you ever heard someone described as “born to lead?” According to this point of view, great leaders are simply born with the necessary internal characteristics such as charisma, confidence, intelligence, and social skills that make them natural-born leaders.

Great man theories assume that the capacity for leadership is inherent—that great leaders are born, not made. These theories often portray great leaders as heroic, mythic, and destined to rise to leadership when needed. The term “Great Man” was used because, at the time, leadership was thought of primarily as a male quality, especially in terms of military leadership.

Such theories suggest that people cannot really learn how to become strong leaders. It’s either something you are born with or born without. It is very much a nature (as opposed to nurture) approach to explaining leadership.

The Great Man Theory of Leadership
Trait Theories
Similar in some ways to Great Man theories, trait theories assume that people inherit certain qualities and traits that make them better suited to leadership. Trait theories often identify a particular personality or behavioral characteristics shared by leaders. For example, traits like extroversion, self-confidence, and courage are all traits that could potentially be linked to great leaders.

If particular traits are key features of leadership, then how do we explain people who possess those qualities but are not leaders? This question is one of the difficulties in using trait theories to explain leadership.

There are plenty of people who possess the personality traits associated with leadership, yet many of these people never seek out positions of leadership. There are also people who lack some of the key traits often associated with effective leadership yet still excel at leading groups.1

Trait Theories of Leadership
Contingency Theories
Contingency theories of leadership focus on particular variables related to the environment that might determine which particular style of leadership is best suited for the situation. According to this theory, no leadership style is best in all situations.

Leadership researchers White and Hodgson suggest that truly effective leadership is not just about the qualities of the leader, it is about striking the right balance between behaviors, needs, and context

Good leaders are able to assess the needs of their followers, take stock of the situation, and then adjust their behaviors accordingly. Success depends on a number of variables including the leadership style, qualities of the followers, and aspects of the situation.

Situational Theories
Situational theories propose that leaders choose the best course of action based upon situational variables. Different styles of leadership may be more appropriate for certain types of decision-making.

For example, in a situation where the leader is the most knowledgeable and experienced member of a group, an authoritarian style might be most appropriate. In other instances where group members are skilled experts, a democratic style would be more effective.

The Situational Theory of Leadership
Behavioral Theories
Behavioral theories of leadership are based upon the belief that great leaders are made, not born. Consider it the flip-side of the Great Man theories. Rooted in behaviorism, this leadership theory focuses on the actions of leaders, not on mental qualities or internal states. According to this theory, people can learn to become leaders through teaching and observation.

Participative Theories
Participative leadership theories suggest that the ideal leadership style is one that takes the input of others into account. These leaders encourage participation and contributions from group members and help group members feel more relevant and committed to the decision-making process. In participative theories, however, the leader retains the right to allow the input of others.

There are many different ways of thinking about leadership, ranging from focusing on the personality traits of great leadership to emphasizing aspects of the situation that help determine how people lead.

Like most things, leadership is a highly multi-faceted subject and it is a mixture of many factors that help determine why some people become great leaders. Learn more about some of the things that make people strong leaders is one way of potentially improving your own skills.

HOW TO REMAIN EVER ENERGETIC & MOTIVATED

Have you ever seen Yousely in mirror , and say “I am the greatest person ever born on this planet” . In 700 cr. I am the greatest , and a lot of dare is needed to say this that, I am the greatest. People don’t have dare to say this, that’s why they don’t become greatest . You are not seeing yourself as a greatest person daily. If you think any silly things, so become like this . But if you think any great thing so, you become a great person. So if you are going to thing a great thing so why should a normal great thing think the greatest think. If this concept made place in your mind. If you see yourself in mirror and say that I am the greatest person ever in this planet. In last 100 or 1000 decades or present time, I am the greatest person ever. But stay always clear with the definition of greatest Don’t get confused in definition. The person is not great by his name or fame person is great by his deed and extraordinary work, that is the greatest person. If a doctor who is great name and fame in their field is not great, the doctor is great by his unconditional services, his dedication towards his job . Doesn’t matter you job is what is your job , whatever your job is do it with honesty and satisfy the work with hardwork. Imagine you are a teacher so do it your teaching job as much as perfectly, that you are the best teacher in the planet. Do you work with whole passion, and give them 100% with a great dedication and focus. Then you are the greatest what’s doubt . Greatest are those , who gave their all efforts, do it with all knowledge and intelligence. I have guts to see myself in mirror and say that I m the greatest person ever in this planet. If I am writing any article on any of the topic, so I know whatever I write , I write with my all efforts I gave my 100% , I use my whole knowledge, and I write with honesty. So I know the article I write is greatest ever. Someone says yes, she is right and she writes very well her thoughts is clear. Someone says no , she is wrong. But what people is not my matter. That is others problem what they think about me. My outlook is important for me and this matter for me not others. Let’s take an example , someone is celebrity, just because a lot of people give this outlook but in personal he is taking a lot of depression pills, because he is not feel that he is the greatest person ever in this planet. Sometime people took them at the peak, and sometime took them at bottom this is what people do. This is their work and they are doing as always. So if you are celebrity because people say , people make you celebrity , and right know you are not because people let down your image , don’t go with the people, go with yourself. If you are celebrity in your outlook then you never flop at any situation at any time whatever the people think.

But accurate with the definition of greatest, you are greatest because your own outlook , you think, you gave this post , this positivity to yourself That you are greatest. Just think people or world is saying you are worst so what’s the matter that’s not my issue because I know I am the greatest and doing all my work with whole heartedly. So if you become greatest in your own outlook so your action, way of talking, and those people who are working or living with you they see you from a different view and you work like a magnet, a very wonderful energy radiating from those who become greatest in their own outlook, and everyone like this energy. Tell me one thing, that is anyone like dull , lazy or sappy person obviously not, all like energetic people who have extra energy and who charged up always and inspired internally. If you are doing any business so the people who are going to work with you and invest are attracted that much with my positive energy that they never leave my business or not even think about it. This is not a theoretical concept this is a practical concept.

Are you want to be like this . So how you become like this. It’s start with the way you look yourself . If you think positive so everyone around is looking positive to you. But you think negative so everyone around you is negative. Have you M.S Dhoni movie, see his positivity , his trust on himself and by facing a lot of problems at last he succeed because he know he is the greatest ever in this world. His positivity, his energy energies all the team members.

When you are excited to do your business so everyone who is working with you is excited to work with but you are not excited regarding your business so their is no chance of going good in your business.

In starting when you start to become greatest this is difficult for you , sometime it look lie also that are you really a greatest person in this planet. But when you are start practicing it daily and saying Yourself that you are greatest then it start reflecting in your behaviour and your surrounding can also observe this positivity and lastly when you shine and become a successful person. Everyone say that I know you will do something very great.

Social Media: Connects people world-wide

COVID-19 is upon us at its full force. While unlock 1.0 may be in effect It is still unsafe to step out at a time like this as the number of cases continue to rise everyday at an alarming rate. Places where people used to meet up like colleges, workplaces, school etc are closed and social distancing is recommended all over the world to protect ourselves and prevent the spread of coronavirus 

With everything that has been happening, there are a lot of people who haven’t seen their friends or families in months. Catching up at a time like this is harder than we think as we used to take everything for granted. Thankfully, once again, technology has lend us a hand. Social media has made connecting to the ones who are physically far away from us possible and extremely easy. With a few taps on your smartphone and an internet connection, you can now connect to most of the people you know via social media. You can also connect with unknown people and meet new people. 

Social media are apps or websites which focus on connecting one person to another and ways of keeping everyone updated with your life. The main social media apps used world-wide are Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat. 

Whatsapp  is basically a texting/ calling/ video-calling app where the user needs a phone number to make an account. He can then text, send a photo, send a video. etc to anyone in his/ her contact list. Whatsapp also allows posting of any photo or video or text via status. That is visible to all your contacts. These stories are temporary and get deleted in 24 hrs. 

Instagram is a social media app which focuses on connecting via visual methods. You can post permanent videos, pictures etc which remain on your profile page for your followers to see. You can create your account via an email id or phone number, search up your friend”s usernames and follow them. It also allows direct messaging and video calling anyone who has an account as well and communicating via text or photos or videos. You can also post temporary 24 hr stories for anyone to see. 

Twitter is a social media app or website which basically focuses on communicating and connecting via posting a small text or para which is called a tweet. Although you can tweet photos and videos too, this app focuses more on tweeting text for your followers to see. The account making procedure is similar to that of Instagram recently they have also added a fleets feature which is the same as stories on Instagram, Whatsapp, Snapchat and Facebook. You can also send direct messages via the app to other accounts. 

Facebook is one of the first social media websites or apps which became massively popular. It allows postings of photos or videos which your friends can see. Your friends are added by searching their names up and sending them a friend request. The account making procedure is similar to that of twitter and Instagram. It also allows posting of 24 hrs temporary stories and direct messages to your friends. Facebook was the most popular social media some years ago. Now even though it is still widely used. It is not as popular as it was among youth as other applications like Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter are said to be better.  

Snapchat is also a social media app which focuses on communicating safely. The text messages disappear after the other person sees them. Unless you keep saving every text. When someone takes a screenshot of the chat or of something you sent them or your story, Snapchat tells you. Snapchat was the first app which introduced the stories feature. Later, other apps copied the same idea.

Life like a song : A Mystery Envolved !!!!!!!!!!!!

What is Life? Can you all answer this question in a single term? I think Life can’t be explained in a single term or you can say that there is no single word that can express the real meaning of life. Life is full of Emotions, Up’s and Down’s, happiness and sorrows. Life is just an unspeakable. Firstly there is a huge mystery of the origin of life but there is one more big mystery i.e. itself life where we can’t say what will happen after a minute. The truth is that we can’t live our present because we always think for the future or of the past because when past was present we have not lived it because that time we was dreaming for the future i.e. present today and for sure we will not enjoy our future because that time we will think for the next upcoming day.

Just see a story that explains the real meaning of life because reality is this that till now we don’t know the actual meaning of life. So just read this story from down to your heart.  There was a girl named Shania full of dreams in her mind, she was of 10 years but she has never seen a childhood. No, she was a normal girl like others but the conditions never allow her to enjoy her childhood. She was of 5 when she lost her parents in a car accident and now she was left with her granny who was not well so she started doing some work that she can find in her street. One day a rich man passed through the street and seeing the fresh apples in the bucket he told the driver to stop the car and ask the driver to buy some apples but the driver refuses by saying that sir doesn’t buy the fruits from this dirty girl. I’II takes you to the big fresh store and from there you can buy the fruits.

Next day when that rich man again passed from that street he sees that girl polishing the shoe. He stops their and ask her the reason behind her work as he have never seen a girl polishing a shoes before. A week passed everyday that man found the Shania in a different role. One day while returning from her office he sees Shania selling Bananas in front of the bus stop. He asked her that what she is doing in this dark midnight.

Shania told her that it is almost ten and a last bus is going to arrive and after selling these left banana she will return to her place .The man thinks that ‘who will buy these banana in this midnight’ and so he asked her to sit in her car as he will drop her and told her to sell the left banana next day. Shania refused by saying that “who knows that the tomorrow will come or not” and she takes her way.

A week passed that man has not found Shania and suddenly one day he found Shania asking for money in the streets he helped Shania and follows her to know that why she needs the money urgently. While following her he found Shania eating the food in the five star hotels and he got very angry by seeing that and asks for her money when Shania came out from a hotel. Shania told her that she will return it back soon and went her way.

Before going that man finds a letter in the ground in which there was a hospital’s address and when he reach there what he sees was unspeakable he sees a Shania sitting near the bed and there he knows the truth that the patient is Shania’s granny who has went through an operation 2 days before and now she is taking her last breath. He also learns the truth that Shania was there in that hotel just to return the money to the moneylender and he only offers her the left over ordered food which she was eating as she was hungry from 2 days and that day he realised the real meaning of hunger and life.

Really a life is like a Pizza, Which comes in a square box, is round from inside and becomes triangle when we eat it. We can’t say that what we see is real and what is real we can see it. Nothing is predictable so enjoy your present but defiantly make a big goal for your future because if you decide it you can worth it.    

State Legislature Cannot Enact Law Providing Direct Appeal To Supreme Court

Without mincing any words, it has been held very categorically and convincingly by the Apex Court in HS Yadav vs Shakuntala Devi Parakh in Civil Appeal No(s). 5153 of 2019 most recently on October 15, 2019 that a State Legislature cannot enact a law providing an appeal directly to the Supreme Court of India. All the States are bound to comply with this latest, landmark and extremely laudable judgment. The Bench comprising of Justice Deepak Gupta and Justice Aniruddha Bose struck down Section 13(2) of Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011, in so far as it provides an appeal directly to the Supreme Court, holding explicitly that the same is totally illegal, ultra vires the Constitution and beyond the scope of the powers of the State Legislature.

                                          To start with, the ball is set rolling in para 1 of this noteworthy judgment authored by Justice Deepak Gupta for himself and Justice Aniruddha Bose by first and foremost observing that, ““Whether the State Legislature can enact a law providing an appeal directly to the Supreme Court of India?” is the question arising in this appeal.” The entire judgment, therefore, revolves rightly around this moot question. Very rightly so!

                                 To be sure, it is then envisaged in para 3 that, “Section 13 of the Act provides for an appeal against orders of the Rent Controller and the Tribunal. It reads thus:-

“13. Appeal.-(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Act, a landlord and/or tenant aggrieved by any order of the Rent Controller shall have the right to appeal in the prescribed manner within the prescribed time to the Rent Control Tribunal.

(2) Appeal against an order of the Rent Control Tribunal shall be with the Supreme Court.”

                                   Needless to say, it is then pointed out in para 4 that, “A bare perusal of Section 13 shows that from any order of the Rent Controller an appeal lies to the Rent Control Tribunal and in terms of Section 13(2), an appeal lies as a matter of right to the Supreme Court.”

                                        What follows next is as mentioned in para 5 that, “When the present appeal, filed under Section 13(2) of the Act, came up for admission, while issuing notice we had also ordered as follows:-

            “xxx                   xxx                      xxx

Notice be given to the learned Advocate General of the State of Chhattisgarh and the learned Attorney General for India as to whether the provisions contained in Section 13(2) of the Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011 providing for an appeal to the Supreme Court of India against the order of the Rent Control Tribunal, Chhattisgarh would be within the legislative competence of the State Legislature.

              xxx                  xxx                           xxx””    

Para 6 then further states that, “Pursuant to the notice, learned Attorney General has appeared and assisted the Court.”

                                As it turned out, it is then noted in para 7 that, “At the outset, we would like to point out that the Tribunal has been constituted in exercise of the powers vested in the State Legislature under Article 323B of the Constitution of India which deals with tribunal for other matters. Sub-clause (h) of Clause (2) of the said Article which empowers the appropriate legislature to constitute a tribunal to deal with the issues relating to rent and its regulations read as follows:-

“323B. Tribunals for other matters:-

(1)     xxx                        xxx                        xxx

(2) The matters referred to in clause (1) are the following, namely:-

         xxx                        xxx                         xxx

(h) rent, its regulation and control and tenancy issues including the rights, title and interest of landlords and tenants:”

                              Of course, it is then clarified in para 8 that, “It is not in dispute before us that the State has the power to constitute the Tribunal. The only issue is whether in terms of Section 13(2) of the Act, the State Legislature could provide an appeal as a matter of right from the order of the Tribunal to the Supreme Court.”

                                        What’s more, it is then laid down in para 9 that, “Article 246 of the Constitution specifically provides that Parliament has exclusive powers to make laws in respect of matters enumerated in List I (Union List) of the Seventh Schedule. As far as the Concurrent List, i.e. List III is concerned, both the Union and the State have the power to enact laws but if the field is occupied by any law enacted by Parliament then the State cannot legislate on the same issue.”

                                      Simply put, it is then made clear in para 10 that, “Entry 77 of List I of the Seventh Schedule reads as under:-

“77. Constitution, organisation, jurisdiction and powers of the Supreme Court (including contempt of such Court), and the fees taken therein; persons entitled to practice before the Supreme Court.”

Entry 77 gives power to the Union in respect of jurisdiction and the powers of the Supreme Court. This power cannot be exercised by the State Legislature.”     

                                  While continuing in the same vein, it is then enunciated in para 11 that, “It would also be apposite to refer to Entry 65 of List II of the Seventh Schedule, which reads as follows:-

“65. Jurisdiction and powers of all courts, except the Supreme Court, with respect to any of the matters in this List.”

A bare reading of Entry 65 clearly indicates that the State Legislature has no power to enact any legislation relating to jurisdiction and power of the Supreme Court. This power is specifically excluded.”

                                   Be it noted, para 12 then lays bare that, “Entry 46 of List III of the Seventh Schedule is also relevant. This reads as follows:-

“46. Jurisdiction and powers of all courts, except the Supreme Court, with respect to any of the matters in this list.”

Even Entry 46 makes it clear that as far as the jurisdictional powers of the Supreme Court are concerned, they cannot be exercised under the Concurrent List. Therefore, the powers with regard to jurisdiction and power of the Supreme Court vest with the Union and Parliament alone can enact a legislation in this regard. The power of the Supreme Court under Article 136 is always there. However, the State cannot enact a legislation providing an appeal directly to the Supreme Court. That would amount to entrenching upon the jurisdiction of the Union, which the State Legislature does not have.”

                                 More importantly, it is then observed unambiguously in para 13 that, “We are constrained to observe that the men who drafted the Act did not even consider the hierarchy of Courts. As pointed above, the Rent Control Tribunal is headed by a retired Judge of the High Court or District Judge in the Super Time Scale or above. What was the rationale of making such an order appealable directly to the Supreme Court? We see no reason why the supervisory jurisdiction of the High Court should be excluded.”

                                  Equally important is what is spelt out in para 14 that, “We, therefore, have no doubt in our mind that Section 13(2) of the Act, in so far as it provides an appeal directly to the Supreme Court, is totally illegal, ultra vires the Constitution and beyond the scope of the powers of the State Legislature. Section 13(2) of the Act is accordingly struck down.”     

                                     A key point is then made in para 15 that, “While dealing with the issue, we may make reference to the fact that the Rent Control Tribunal is a tribunal constituted under Article 323B of the Constitution.”

                             While referring to a landmark case of the past, it is then revealed in para 16 that, “In L. Chandrakumar vs. Union of India (1993) 4 SCC 119, this Court clearly held that tribunals constituted under Articles 323A and 323B of the Constitution are subject to the writ jurisdiction of the High Courts. In view of the law laid down in L Chandrakumar’s case (supra), the High Court can exercise its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution against the orders of the Rent Control Tribunal.”

                                    Finally and no less importantly, it is then held in the last para 17 that, “In view of the above, we hold that an appeal under Section 13(2) of the Act directly to the Supreme Court is not maintainable. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal. However, we keep it open to the appellant to approach the High Court for redressal of his grievance under Article 227 of the Constitution. If the appellant does so, the High Court shall decide the matter strictly in accordance with law. Pending application(s) if any, stand(s) disposed of.”

                                         No doubt, on a concluding note, it has to be said that it is a very well written and well reasoned judgment which deserves unqualified appreciation. All the State Legislatures must always keep in mind in similar such cases what the Apex Court has so very rightly laid down in this case also  so elegantly, eloquently and effectively! As a corollary, no denying that it must always be ensured by all the State Legislatures that no law should be enacted which provides direct appeal to the Supreme Court in such cases  as  has  been  very held in this case!

Teen slangs of 2020

Latest Teen Slang

 

Here are 20 of the latest teen slang words and phrases that are showing up in 2020, and what they mean.

Extra

This is another way of saying that someone or something is too much or over the top. An example might be: “She is so extra. She talks about Karen non-stop.” Extra can also be used in a self-deprecating way.

Snatched 

You don’t have to worry if you hear your teen saying that someone or something is snatched. It’s actually a compliment, and it could sound something like: “I love those sneakers! They are so snatched.”

Big yikes 

To use a slang word that we’ve already learned, big yikes is like yikes only extra. Think about how you might use “Yikes!” or “No way!” and then double it as in: “Big yikes! Did you see what Jared just posted on his finsta??”

Finsta 

You monitor your teen’s social media and are probably even connected with them on Instagram, so you feel like you’re aware of their digital footprint, right? Unfortunately, they may have a “finsta” too, which is a secret second Instagram account. This account is hidden from parents and may tell a different story than your child’s official Instagram account.

Flex 

Flex is the new way to say “show off.” An easy way to remember this one is to picture someone flexing their muscles. Your teen might say: “She is trying to flex all over finsta today since she received another college acceptance letter.”

No cap

This is probably equivalent to our “for real” or no “no lie” from our younger days. Teens are emphasizing that they are telling the truth with this one.

Lowkey 

This is a way to describe something you want to keep on the downlow, to use one of our old slang words, or something that you don’t want to emphasize too much. For instance: “I lowkey can’t wait for this school year to be over… not that I’m mentioning this to my parents.”

Highkey 

Conversely, highkey is a way to describe something that you really want to emphasize. For example, “I highkey can’t wait for this day to end! I want to scream it from the rooftops.”

I’m dead 

This is one you may have noticed in many of BuzzFeed’s “article” headlines. “I’m dead” refers to the fact that your teen is laughing so hard about something that she is dying of laughter.

Slay 

Slay is a way to say someone looks amazing or did an excellent job at something. One friend might tell another: “Girl, you slayed in that game! I can’t believe how many points you scored.”

Straight fire 

Straight fire is otherwise known as “on the up and up” or better than all of the rest. It can also mean hot. Not as in temperature, but as in “That’s hot!” expressed in a positive way.

Spill the tea 

If you hear your teen asking a friend to “spill the tea,” it means that they want to hear the latest gossip or story. Your teen might say, “Spill the tea! I want to hear what happened after you left the party.”

CD9 

Breaker, breaker. This one may take you back to the walkie-talkie days of your youth. CD9 stands for Code 9 as in, “Can’t talk! My parents are here!”

Shook 

Shook is a way to describe that you are emotionally shaken or affected by something. You might hear your teen say, “I stayed up all night reading that book, and now I am shook.”

Netflix and Chill 

This one sounds nice, right? Maybe you’re at work right now thinking of how nice it would be to get comfy on the couch and watch Netflix tonight with a pint of ice cream. When your teen says it, unfortunately, it means that she is using that as a front to have someone over (or go over there house) to make out and possibly

How’z That?: Playing Popular Games in Empty Stadiums

Cricket and football are two of the most passionate and fascinating sports in the world. We all love those beautiful games and the players connected with them. The ardent supporters would try their best to shirk work to attend matches and the crazier ones would not hesitate to sacrifice their sleep to express support to their teams. The emergence of COVID-19 had changed the whole scenario. There were no matches worth mentioning in any place in the world for more than three months. After a long pause things are limping back to some degree of normalcy.

Football is coming back to Spain with virtual crowds, regular matches and lots of testing being done for protection from coronavirus. The Spanish League was suspended for more than three months due to the pandemic. It will resume this weekend as the second top league to do so in Europe. The Bundesliga is the first league ever to start in the post-pandemic times. The other leagues, such as the Premier League and the Italian League, will start from next week. The league officials estimated the loss of $1.1 million if they do not resume the matches for the pandemic. The Spanish League is starting the match from Friday between Sevilla and Real Betis at 1.30 am IST as the El Garn Derby. The weekend will have a kickstart match by the table leader FC Barcelona versus RCD Mallorca. There will be another match played between the second placed Real Madrid and Eibar on Sunday next. The Sunday match will take place at Real Madrid’s training centre as the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is under renovation throughout the season. The clubs are expected to have matches on a regular basis till its completion on 19 July, 2020. Supporters from all over the world are anticipating how the ‘new normal’ will affect the players on field.

La Liga is having high hopes to push the restart button as a celebration and it is also planning to pay respect to the victims of coronavirus. Spain has experienced more than 27,000 deaths and is one of the worst-hit countries in the world. The first match on Friday will show the world that the crisis is under control. The federation has decided to put down some rules which should be followed strictly. These will help to keep an eye on coronavirus and restrict it from spreading among the players and the staff.

The new norms are as follows:

  1. Corona test will be performed twenty four hours before the match at home for each player.
  2. Players must wear masks and gloves and have temperature checked before entering the stadium.
  3. Possibility to have a squad of twenty three players.
  4. Players and staff have to change their kits during the half-time break.
  5. Yellow card is to be shown if a player spits on the ground.
  6. Post-game press conference should be done through video conference call.
  7. Five substitutions instead of three in the eleven member-team.
  8. Handshakes are totally prohibited.
  9. Teams travelling by bus will use two buses.
  10.  The security personnel have to check on fans to ensure no large gathering in front of the stadium.
  11.  There will be no supporters in the stadium.
  12.  The players should sit on the alternate seats in the bench.

The VIVO Indian Premier League is one of the most popular and prestigious cricket tournaments in India. This year it was scheduled to start from 29 March to 24 May but it was postponed due to the outbreak of coronavirus. Sourav Ganguly, the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), announced that the board is exploring all possible actions to restart the league. The matches will happen in empty stadium without any supporters. The board is discussing safety precautions for the players and staff where some of them have to take international flights to be with the teams. It is being speculated that the tournament might be played in the October-November slot if the International Cricket Council (ICC) decides to postpone the T20 World Cup. The board is in the process of developing a COVID-19 SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) for all State Cricket Associations with a few standard guidelines. It is also in the process of discussing domestic cricket tournaments with the state cricket associations. The economic structure of international cricket is likely to change and lower-ranked nations are already facing fund crunch.

The Indian Super League (ISL) final was held in an empty stadium in Goa on 14 March. I-League season was stopped on 15 March, with the Neroca vs Chennai City 2-2 draw becoming the last match of the season. The season was eventually called off with twenty three matches left and Mohun Bagan was crowned champions. India’s remaining World Cup qualifiers have been postponed. Matches against Qatar, Afghanistan and Bangladesh were scheduled for the March-April window and there’s little clarity on when they will be played. The postponement of the U-17 Women’s Football World Cup, 2020, which was to be hosted in India in November, has also caused some concern. Though FIFA has mentioned that new dates will be identified at a more suitable time.

It is obvious that fans and supporters of all kinds of games around the world have to wait patiently for the matches to start again. There is a huge impact on the world sports arena due to the coronavirus. The feel and shrill of collective expressions reverberating the stadiums are being missed by all.  

Are we using social media in a right way?

In today’s world almost half of the world’s population use social media apps such as Facebook, instagram, whatsapp, twitter. But how many people trust social media? And should we really trust social media fully?

However social media app developers provides us full security, they say our messages are encrypted completely, our data is secured and private. But beware of hackers, keep changing your passwords time to time, developers also advices us to do so.

But what about the data shared on social media, the young generations donot belive on false news provided on social media but our elder generation which includes our parents too, very easily belives on such false news and even forward them to others, informing them about the wrong news. So, it’s our duty to stop our elders from doing such things and aware them with the dark side of social media.

Social media is however a very good platform for expanding business by advertising our product and opening shop on social media, many people are even doing this, people earns money even by making memes and publishing them on social media.

It also helps us in studying field, we can get in direct touch with our teachers, friends, and can get informed about the new seminars, webinars which are going to take place in which we can take part to enhance our skills, to learn something new.

But now a days, people use social media to pass time on, rather than utilising it to do something good, they spends hours on chatting with strangers, scrolling it which is bunkum.

A person has thousands of friends on social media but reality is different sometimes. They don’t even have one true friend then what is the means of such friends, social media distanced people from real world.

Every thing has it’s pros and cons, it all depends on how we use that thing, so choose yourself, will social media provide you food, shelter? No, they don’t, then work for the things which will provide you these. Social media doesn’t provide everything we need, if we want to travel somewhere, then can you satisfy yourself just by seeing the pictures of those places on social media? No, we can’t because that live enjoyment of that place can’t be provided by social media, Similarly there are many other real life enjoyments which social media can’t provide.

Staying connected with our known ones, relatives through social media is good, but meeting them personally, enjoying with them gives more pleasure which can’t be defined, and as it’s our life so choice is also ours what we want to do.

Absence Of Injury On Prosecutrix Implies Her Consent For Sex

In a clear, categorical and convincing observation, the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Union Territory, Chandigarh v Amit Kumar @ Rachu and others in CRM-A No. 1887-MA of 2017 (O&M) delivered just recently on October 16, 2019 minced no words in observing that absence of injury on the person of the prosecutrix would lead to an inference that she was a consenting party to sexual intercourse. The Punjab and Haryana High Court in this notable case refused to grant Leave to Appeal against the judgment of acquittal in a rape case. It has thus been made absolutely clear by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in this latest, landmark and extremely laudable judgment that to attract the offence of rape, the victim should not be a consenting party to a sexual intercourse and absence of injury on the person of the prosecutrix would palpably lead to the logical conclusion that she too was a consenting party and therefore rape charges would not be attracted in such case!

                 CRM No. 27600 of 2017

                                                      To start with, this noteworthy judgment authored by Justice Jaswant Singh for himself and Justice Lalit Batra of Punjab and Haryana High Court at the very outset points out that, “Present application has been filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. for condonation of delay of 53 days in filing the appeal. Upon notice, counsel for respondent No. 1 has filed a reply dated 27.05.2019 to the present application. After hearing counsel for the parties, the delay of 53 days in filing the application for grant of leave to appeal is condoned. Application stands disposed of accordingly.”

               CRM-A-1887-MA of 2017      

                                     Starting from scratch, para 1 first and foremost lays the groundwork by pointing out that, “Present application has been filed under section 378(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 (in short “the Code”) for grant of Leave to Appeal against the judgment of acquittal dated 30.01.2017 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Judge Special Court, Chandigarh, whereby respondents accused have been acquitted for the offences under Section 363, 366, 120-B, 376-D, 342 Indian Penal Code (IPC).”

                                 While dwelling on the facts of the case, para 2 then says that, “Tersely put the facts of the case of the prosecution are that  PW-2 (Pappu son of Munshi Ram, father of the prosecutrix/victim) moved a complaint to the local police station wherein he stated that his daughter (prosecutrix) was found missing. He also alleged in the complaint that on 30.10.2015 at about 11/12 P.M. she went to attend a ‘Jagran’ but she did not come back to the house till morning. He made her frantic search but he failed to find out any clue of her whereabouts. Later on, he came to know that four boys, namely, Amit, Suraj, Kannu and Vikas (respondents/accused) abducted her in a car bearing Registration No. CH-01-AR-6944. On the basis of this complaint, a formal F.I.R. (Ex. P-17) was registered under Sections 363, 366, 120-B IPC. During investigation, all the accused were arrested and prosecutrix was also recovered. Her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was got recorded by the Investigating Officer. Accused were medically examined and prosecutrix was also subjected to medical examination.”

                                       Needless to say, it is then pointed out in this same para 2 ahead that, “After completion of necessary formalities of investigation, the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. was presented before the Court of Judicial Magistrate and thereafter the case was committed to the Court of Sessions. Copies of report as envisaged under Section 208 Cr.P.C. were supplied to the respondents accused free of cost. Finding a prima facie case, the accused respondents were charge-sheeted for the commission of offences under Sections 376-D, 366, 342 read with Section 120-B of Indian Penal Code.

                                     On the face of it, para 2 then further discloses that, “To prove its case against the respondents accused, the prosecution has examined the following Ten (10) witnesses which are as under:-

Prosecutrix as PW-1, Pappu, complainant/father of the prosecutrix as PW-2, HC Gulzar Singh as PW-3, HC Yash Pal as PW-4, Dr Parijat as PW-5, Sonu as PW-6, Dr. Chandrani as PW-7, ASI Rajvir Singh as PW-8, Constable Sonu Kumar as PW-9 and Sandeep Garg as PW-10.”

                                          Furthermore, it is then mentioned in this same para 2 that, “On completion of prosecution evidence, the statements of accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C. were recorded in which all the incriminating circumstances appearing by way of evidence of prosecution against the respondents accused were put to them and they pleaded their innocence and false implication. Accused-Amit Kumar @ Racha in a statement under Sectiion 313 Cr.P.C. put forth a stand that he has been falsely implicated by the parents of the prosecutrix, as there was love affair between the prosecutrix and him and the family members of the prosecutrix, in order to teach him a lesson, have concocted this false case. Chances of defence was given by the trial Court to the respondents accused but no defence evidence was produced. On the basis of weak evidence produced by the prosecution against the respondents, they have been acquitted of the charges for the commission of offences under Sections 376-D, 366, 342 read with Section 120-B of Indian Penal Code.”

                                         After hearing the version of both parties, the Bench then holds in para 3 that, “We have heard learned cousnel for the parties and have also gone through the paper-book very carefully with their assistance. We are of the view that the prosecutrix in this case was neither kidnapped nor abducted. The story of the prosecution put forward in the Trial Court looks to be highly improbable. The defence version is probable. Admittedly, the prosecutrix was running about more than 18 years of her age at the time of alleged incident. As per the alleged case of the prosecution, the prosecutrix was abducted by the accused from ‘Jagran’ at the knife point and the accused further took her to a hotel situated in Sector-42, Chandigarh. It is not established by the prosecution that how from assembly crowd of ‘Jagran’, the accused could manage to abduct her. It is not the case of prosecution that ‘Jagran’ was concluded at around 11/12 P.M. As such, the prosecutrix was supposed to sit in the gathering of ‘Jagran’ till its conclusion. It is not cleared by the prosecution how she came in the compnay of the accused and how the accused branded a knife on her in order to abduct her.”

                                             While continuing in the same vein, it is then further elaborated upon in this same para 3 that, “Further, prosecutrix has testified that she was kept confined in a ‘Jhuggi’ for two days. If the prosecutrix was wrongly confined at the house of accused Shanti wife of Balwant Singh for about two days, she should be the first person to raise hue and cry. It is not the case of prosecution that prosecutrix was given any intoxicant, by virtue of which she lost her senses for two days and was not in a position to raise noise. Therefore, in the absence of any intoxication, the prosecutrix was able to raise hue and cry in case she kept confined forcibly in the house of Shanti for two days. Medical examination has also highlighted that there was no injury on any part of the prosecutrix. Medical expert PW-5 (Dr. Parijat) has stated that there was chances of recent sexual intercourse with the prosecutrix. In cross examination, this Medical Expert has testified that no injury on the private part of the prosecutrix was noticed. Meaning thereby, the doctor did not find any injury on the person of the prosecutrix, from which it can be inferred that she was a consenting party to the sexual intercourse. There is no corroborative evidence to the testimony of the prosecutrix that she was victim of rape. Her testimony had not stood the test of credence and in these circumstances, we are inclined to extend the benefit of doubt to the respondents. The statement of other witnesses is formal in nature. The contradictions, as observed by the Trial Court in the impugned judgment, are itself sufficient to discard the case of the prosecution in toto. As such, the Trial Court has not committed any mistake in giving the benefit of doubt to the accused for want of cogent and convincing evidence.                  

                              Not less important is what is then stated unequivocally in para 4 that, “That apart, the scope of the Appellate Court, while dealing with the appeals against acquittal, is settled. Though there is no embargo on the Appellate Court to reverse the decision based on the evidence upon which the acquittal is based, generally the order of acquittal based on presumption of innocence of the accused, is further strengthened by acquittal. The Appellate Court, while considering an apppeal against acquittal, has to consider whether there are compelling and substantial reasons for reversing the order of acquittal. The Appellate Court can reverse the order of acquittal if the view taken by the Court is palpably erroneous and it could not have been taken by the Court of competent jurisdiction and is taken against well settled canon of criminal jurisprudence. Merely because the Appellate Court, on re-appreciation and re-evaluation of the evidence, is inclined to take a different view, interference with the judgment of acquittal is not justified. If the view taken by the trial Court is a possible view, even if two views are equally balanced it need not result in interference by the Appellate Court in the judgment of the trial Court of acquittal. The Appellate Court will have to see whether there is perversity in the decision if the conclusions are contrary to the evidence on record or the Court’s entire approach is patently illegal or it is based on erroneous understanding. If the order of acquittal is to be reversed, the Appellate Court must examine and discuss the grounds given by the trial Court to acquit the accused and must give cogent reasons to overturn the findings. Thus, while considering the order against acquittal, generally the Appellate Court should not interfere where view taken by the trial Court is not unreasonable or perverse. With the legal position in mind, we have considered the view taken by the trial Court is a possible view and it does not require any interference by this Court.”

                             Lastly, it is then held in the last para 5 that, “In view of the above discussion, this Court is of the opinion that the trial Court, while appreciating the entire evidence in its proper perspective, has rightly held that the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond any reasonable doubt. Thus, no case for any kind of interference in the impugned judgment is made out. The view of the trial Court is hereby affirmed and is mainatained. The instant application is without any merit and, therefore, dismissed. Leave to Appeal is declined.”

                        In the ultimate analysis, what the foregoing discussion as we saw in different paras of this notable ruling boils down to is this: The absence of injury on the prosecutrix implies her consent for sex. In addition, there was no corroborative evidence that could substantiate the testimony of the prosecutrix that she was victim of rape. The bottom line is: Sex with consent without any injury anywhere on body and absence of any corroborative evidence cannot be considered rape at all! Very rightly so!

Mere Suspension Of Sentence Or Grant Of Bail To The Accused Cannot Imply That The Conviction Ceases To Operate

 It goes without saying that in a latest, landmark and laudable judgment titled Santosh Kumar vs Delhi Jal Board in WP (C) 10100/2017 & CM No 41286/2017 delivered just recently on October 15, 2019, the Delhi High Court has very rightly reiterated that suspension of sentence, pending an appeal, doesn’t imply a suspension of order of conviction. Justice Rekha Palli of Delhi High Court who authored this noteworthy judgment very rightly pinpoints that in a criminal trial, if a convict has been granted bail or suspension of his sentence pending his appeal, that doesn’t mean that his conviction ceases to operate! Very rightly so!

                                         To start with, the ball is set rolling first and foremost in para 1 wherein it is pointed out by Justice Rekha Palli of Delhi High Court that, “The present writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India filed by the workman assails the award dated 25.08.2017 passed by the learned Labour Court-XVII, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi in LIR No. 515/2017, whereunder the petitioner’s claim for reinstatement in service has been rejected.”

                                     To recapitulate, it is then laid bare in para 2 that, “The petitioner, who was working as an Assistant Pump Driver in the respondent Delhi Jal Board was involved in an incident leading to registration of a FIR No. 51/2010 against him under Section 363, 366, 368 and 376 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) at Police Station Kotwali Dehat, Bulandshahr, U.P. The petitioner came to be arrested on 22.09.2010 and consequently he was on 09.02.2011 placed under deemed suspension w.e.f. the date of his arrest, which suspension continued from time to time.”

                                           To be sure, it is then pointed out in para 3 that, “After trial, the petitioner was convicted on 05.12.2011 under Sections 363, 366, 368 and 376 IPC by the Court of the Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bulandshahr, U.P. and sentenced to life imprisonment. The petitioner thereafter preferred an appeal before the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Allahabad wherein, vide order dated 18.02.2013, he has been granted bail and stay of the fine imposed on him.”

                                    Truth be told, para 4 then postulates that, “In the light of his conviction the respondent, after issuing him a show cause notice, imposed the penalty of removal from service on the petitioner on 02.08.2013 and consequently relieved him on 20.06.2014.” 

                          Needless to say, para 5 then discloses that, “Aggrieved by his termination, the petitioner raised an industrial dispute which came to be rejected after the labour Court found that the disciplinary authority had, after considering the relevant factors, rightly come to the conclusion that the petitioner’s further retention in service was undesirable.”

                                      While explaining the intent behind filing the present petition, it is then stated in para 6 that, “The present petition has been filed assailing the aforesaid award passed by the Labour Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though the petitioner’s appeal is still pending adjudication before the High Court, once his sentence stands suspended and he has been released on bail, the respondent is duty bound to take him back in service as the effect of the said suspension, would tantamount to the order of conviction and sentence being treated as non est. He, therefore, prays that the impugned award be set aside as the same has been passed without properly appreciating the effect of his sentence being suspended by the High Court.”

                           On the contrary, it is then pointed out in para 7 that, “Mr Rameezuddin Raja, who appears on advance notice on behalf of the respondent, while supporting the impugned order submits that in view of the settled position that mere suspension of sentence does not imply that the order of conviction has been stayed or that the employer should ignore the fact and effect of such conviction. He, therefore, prays that the writ petition be dismissed.”

                                        What follows next is what is stated in para 8 that, “I have considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and with their assistance perused the record.”

                               Most importantly, it is then held in para 9 that, “In the light of the admitted position that it is only the petitioner’s sentence which had been stayed by the High Court and that there is no stay of the petitioner’s conviction under Section 363, 366, 368, 376 IPC, I find absolutely no merit in the petitioners’ contention. It is the settled legal position that mere suspension of sentence or grant of bail to the accused in criminal proceedings, cannot imply that the conviction ceases to operate. The only effect of such suspension, during the pendency of an appeal, is that the accused is protected from incarceration, and the same does not in any manner affect the conviction order.”

                                  Tersely put, para 10 then underscores that the Delhi High Court rejected the claim of the petitioner by relying upon the rule laid down by the Apex Court in Union of India vs Ramesh Kumar AIR 1997 SC 3531` which primarily says that, “If the Disciplinary Authority comes to the conclusion that the offence for which the public servant has been convicted was such as to retention in the public service prima facie undesirable, it canm impose upon him under Rule 19(1) of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, the penalty of dismissal or removal.”

                               It cannot be lost on us that it is then envisaged in para 11 that, “In the light of the aforesaid, it is evident that even though the petitioner’s sentence has been suspended during the pendency of his appeal, the conviction order against him continues to operate. The respondent, therefore, was justified in coming to the conclusion that further retention of the petitioner in service was undesirable. Needless to state that in case the petitioner is successful in his pending challenge to the order of conviction before the High Court, it will be open for him to approach the respondent with a request to reconsider his dismissal from service.”

                                   Now coming to the concluding paras, para 12 holds that, “For the aforesaid reasons, this Court finds absolutely no infirmity in the impugned award warranting exercise of its writ jurisdiction under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India.”

                                      Lastly, it is then held in para 13 that, “At this stage, it is noticed that the present writ petition, which is wholly meritless, could not be taken up for preliminary hearing for the last two years mainly on account of non-availability of the learned counsel for the petitioner. The writ petition along with pending application is dismissed with costs of Rs 10,000/- payable to the Delhi High Court Staff Welfare Fund within four weeks.”   

                               No doubt, the long and short of this noteworthy judgment is what has also been very rightly reiterated by Justice Rekha Palli of the Delhi High Court that, “In a criminal trial, mere suspension of sentence or grant of bail to the accused cannot imply that the conviction ceases to operate.” It has also been rightly held that the only effect of such suspension during the pendency of an appeal is as mentioned in this laudable judgment that the accused is protected from incarceration, and the same does not in any manner affect the conviction order! Very rightly so!

KASHMIRI PANDIT: AN INNOCENT CULPRIT

-BY RAKESHITA

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः |

Dharma, when destroyed, destroys; Dharma protects when it is protected.

The discussion is on the murder of justice, home is heaven but only for those who can experience it, this is the story of pandit`s living in the paradise of earth called Kashmir, ironically the situation is vice -versa. Once they were treated as the ;

  • Representatives of Glorious Heritage & Legacy of Kashmir.
  • Symbols of Brotherhood and Peace.

Kashmiri Pandits have always been devoted to spiritual and academic pursuits. They have during their history of more than 5000 years nurtured values of peace, co-existence and tolerance. They are the original inhabitants of Kashmir. Kashmiri Pandits are progenitors of Kashmir Shaivism the philosophy of oneness of mankind. Hinyan and Sarvastivadin sects of Buddhism found the highest expression in Kashmir and Kashmiri Pandit’s spread their message to China and Central Asia. Kashmiri Pandits have contributed immensely to the evolution of human thought by contributing to almost all fields of creative human endeavour like literature (mainly Sanskrit), language, science and philosophy from times immemorial. Since the advent of Islam in the 14th century, Kashmiri Hindus have been subjected to extreme persecution. To escape religious fanaticism in the form of forced conversions to Islam they had either to embrace death or leave Kashmir more than once during the last six hundred years. The present exodus of Kashmiri Pandits is fourth mass exodus in the history of Kashmir since the advent of Islam in this part.

“Where we love is home- home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”

They were forced to leave their abode and struggle like vagabounds living in the refugee camps, the only sin committed by them was that they were pandits born in the beautiful valley.

Kashmiri Pandit: A height Of Tolerance

In spite of repeated rejection of co-existence and pluralism by Muslim society for the last six hundred years, Kashmiri Pandit have never given up their faith in their values. They did not reciprocate fanaticism with fanaticism and violence with violence.

In a world threatened with ethnic and religious strifes where various parties have invariably resorted to violence and force, to further their claims, Kashmiri Pandit is the only example who has totally rejected the violence as a means to fulfil socio-political aspirations.

It is 30 years since the “exodus” from the Valley of its minority Hindu Kashmiri Pandit community. The hotly contested circumstances of their departure between January and March 1990, the numbers, and the issue of their return are an important side to the Kashmir story that has fed into the Hindu-Muslim polarisation in India over the years, in turn fuelling the Hindu-Muslim chasm in the Valley. The exodus took place at the same time that the BJP was upping the ante across northern India, and over the years, the plight of Kashmiri Pandits has become a potent Hindutva issue.
Right now it is a call for humanity rather than a political or a religious issue, the struggle of 1980 which is still ongoing and here the new case of AJAY PANDITA 40-year-old Kashmiri Pandit sarpanch of the South Kashmir’s Anantnag was shot dead by terrorists on Monday evening. Ajay Pandita, sarpanch of Lukbawan village in Larkipora, was attacked at his orchard at around 6 pm, police said. Bharti, who was affiliated with the Congress, was taken to a hospital but did not survive, as reported by the local police.
Locals said that the family of the sarpanch had migrated from South Kashmir in the early 1990s but returned around two years back. He successfully contested the panchayat polls, which no one would be so short lasted.
The police and army have launched a search operation to track down the terrorists who killed the sarpanch.[1]

The organisations have been demanding better security for the Kashmiri Pandits and other minority communities in Kashmir. Kashmiri Pandit`s in the United States has also condemned this killing. The groups have been demanding arrests of the terrorists involved in the attack.
We hold immense pleasure in the fact that India is a secular country and all the communities are entitled to the same sort of securities, then too, why this is happening?

It is high time that we ask ourselves, are we really prepared for the laws we demand, blaming the authority is an easy thing to do but awareness regarding the same and the changes are a need of the hour.

The urge to attain justice; the hope is still intact

JUSTICE IS DELAYED NOT DENIED!

People have been quite vocal about rights every day on the social media, now it is the time that we put ahead of these unheard voices as well, as after all the point that needs be taken into the light is humanity, it is not some subtle sub-topic for discussion, but the main agenda that we all should focus on.

Believe and respect each other, support the right and stand for wrong. I request everyone to understand this principle of VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM, remember one effort and voice will be counted as a fight for justice.

All the authorities and lawmakers are requested to have a concern regarding the protection of the preamble of the Constitution of India and to provide justice to each and every citizen living in the country. Laws should be practised codification of them cannot just help, whatever aid given to Kashmiri pandit was the duty of government but was that sufficient enough?
Their suffering is not over, authorities have to be on guard and work for their justice, as their struggle has been long enough. Fighting this situation should be the concern and punishing the guilty mind. Take this hour to raise your voice, make sure that you put ahead the voice of your own people who have been suffering enough and still went unheard most of the times.

सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ।

ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि॥

pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat as alike, gird yourself up for the battle. Thus, you shall not incur sin.

HOW MUCH THE CORONA OUTBREAK HAD AFFECTED OUR ECONOMY

COVID-19 cases in India have crossed 200000 mark and death toll crossed 8,000. First Corona case was reported in Wuhan in China on 31st December of 2019. Then it started spreading all over the world. Very swiftly it became a pandemic from an epidemic. Currently more than 200 countries and territories have been reported with novel corona virus pandemic. The corona outbreak has badly affected the world in many ways. The education system, social structure and specially the world economy have got severely affected by this pandemic. Even the first world countries are also suffering. Our country is a third world country which is also badly affected by this virus.

Corona Virus is a new kind of virus which has not been found in human body ever before. It is a large family of viruses that causes illness in human body and the symptoms are very ordinary such as fever, sneezing, respiratory problems etc. Many people are being diagnosed with this virus, who are not even showing any kind of symptoms. The doctors and the scientists are really working extremely hard to provide the vaccine as soon as possible. If the vaccine or medicine can not come any soon, many countries’ economy will be fully destroyed.

The impact of the pandemic has been felt across the industries and the outbreak got declared as a national emergency. Indian economy has got severely affected by this pandemic. The Indian government had issued the first lockdown on 25th March. The lockdown was necessary so that we can stop community spread of the virus in India. But due to the lockdown many business companies are suffering a lot. The poor people who do not have a stable job have lost their livelihoods since they do not have anything to earn anymore. So many poor people and migrant workers took their lives out of depression since they lost their jobs and have nothing to do anymore.

The well to do or the big companies are also suffering and struggling a lot to save their economy in this lockdown. The employers are not getting their salary to provide salary to their employees. So that some of the companies are eliminating some of their employees from the companies to reduce the load of clearing their payment. Some of the companies are even working in this pandemic because they have no options left for them, if they do not work the entire company can collapse. Many jobs are at high risk in this corona outbreak.

Though the government employees are getting their salary inspite of not working on site, there is no certainty how long they will be provided with this facility. Some of the government jobs are also at really high risk. After the government announced the economic package, some of the business sectors got some relief but there are still companies which are still suffering. If not very soon any relief fund is initiated or if they do not get the permission to work on sites then these companies will completely collapse, which will badly affect our economic system.

Abortion-a right or a choice?

What happens when people take the decisions of your life? When an unborn child is murdered before even stepping into this world? Who gave them the right to do so? Is it legal or illegal when a young girl is murdered with her unborn child by her parents? These questions triggerd in my mind while reading a recent story which took place in Telangana, where a 20-year old girl was murdered overnight by her parents because she refused for abortion. Digging deep into this story, I found out that the young girl was in love with a man from another caste and this was also a reason because of which her parents committed an unlawful crime by killing her overnight because her actions were against them. Earlier she agreed with her parents on aborting the child but later on she changed her mind and wanted to bring the baby in the world but she didn’t knew what misfortune was coming in her way and the poor child died even before opening his eyes. Who among us will be the one like her parents? Will try to commit this false crime? Or who among us will take a stand and support her and who all will fight with her? Stories like this revolve around the world where again the society plays a major role, not allowing the people to live and breath. According to the WHO, every year an estimated 40-50 million people who face unplanned pregnancy decide to have an abortion in the world. What a strange thing which is a tabu in some parts of the world where men cause women to be pregnant but it is the woman who alone bears the child and goes through a difficult period of pain and suffering. I am not only talking about teenage pregnancies but also about the mothers who face early pregnancy or about the mother who does not want to perceive. I am neither against the abortion nor standing with it, but as a girl I want the society to let the mother decide what she wants and not force her to kill the child because of various reasons.

Medical Termination of Pregnancy(MTP)

Since the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act allows women to seek abortion as a part of reproductive rights and gender justice. This amendment places India on the top league of the countries where a woman can make individual choices from their perspective. In India, abortions are legal in certain situations, as for unmarried girls, rape victims and for married women with different reasons. There has been a decreasing rate in abortion since India made it illegal to detect the sex of the foetus. But there is a time limit given to the woman for getting an abortion done. A woman should always make sure to have a safe abortion procedure inorder to keep her body safe and always ask the doctor before getting it done.

Reasons why women get this done

1.Peer pressure, the biggest reason for a woman to get her child aborted. Where society never lets the woman live and allow to make her own decision which makes the abortion as the only solution. 2.Female Foeticide, which comes under peer pressure, where the society never lets a girl child to step into this world and gets her killed before her birth. 3.Rape victims and differently- abled.

Since this is a very vague and wide topic, I would like to end it here with a quote “Abortion is a part of being a mother and caring for children because part of her caring of her children is knowing when its not a good idea to bring them into the world”-Katha Pollitt.
