Hardly The Picture Of A Welfare State: MP HC Reprimands EOW

It is most refreshing, most reassuring and really remarkable to see that the Madhya Pradesh High Court has just recently on August 11, 2020 in a latest, landmark and extremely laudable judgment titled Colonel Bhupendra Singh Kharayat v. The State of Madhya Pradesh in Case No. : MCRC 26706/2020 taken very strong exception of a 78-year-old retired Colonel of the Indian Army being arrested and has rapped the EOW (Economic Offences Wing), Bhopal for arresting him in a case where an arrest was simply not warranted and the court below for rejecting the applicant’s bail application. The applicant was in judicial custody since 24/7/2020 in the above-said case. This noteworthy case is worth emulating and its ruling must always be adhered to by all the courts in similar such cases!

                         To start with, the Bench of Justice Atul Sreedharan of Madhya Pradesh High Court which has decided this case sets the ball rolling in para 1 of this notable judgment wherein it is mentioned that, “This application has been filed on behalf of the applicant under section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for offence under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 472, 474 read with section 120B of IPC and registered vide Crime No. 95/2020, at P.S. E.O.W Bhopal, District Bhopal.”

               While outlining the background, it is then enunciated in para 2 that, “The applicant is in judicial custody since 24/07/2020 in the above said case. The investigating agency is the Economic Offences Wing, Bhopal (hereinafter referred to as the “EOW”). The applicant is 78 years of age and is a retired Colonel of the Indian Army. He is President of the Tilak Grah Nirman Society, Bhopal.”

                        While enumerating the facts, it is then stated in para 3 that, “Briefly, the facts of this case are that one Rabiya Bi is the complainant along with others registered the FIR against the applicant and other co-accused persons. The property in question is land ad-measuring 93.37 acres situated in Village Singaraholi, Bhopal. The owner was one Faiz Mohammad who died leaving behind seven legal heirs. They are Mohammad Ayub, Mohammad Yakub, Hanifa Sultan, Asma Sultan, Sikandar Khan, Qamar Khan and Anwar Khan. Out of the total area of 93.37 acres, 54 acres was demarcated for residential purpose while the remaining approximately 39 acres was kept aside for agricultural purpose.” 

                                 To put things in perspective, it is then envisaged in para 4 that, “With the exception of Mohammad Yakub, the remaining six legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad jointly executed a power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 and transferred all the rights with regard to the aforesaid property to the power of attorney holder Mohammad Sharif (the then President of Tilak Grah Nirman Society). Similarly, Mohammad Yakub also executed a power of attorney on 05/08/1989 transferring all his rights with respect to the aforesaid property in favour of power of attorney holder Mohammad Sharif. Thus Mohammad Sharif became the power of attorney holder for six of the legal heirs by way of power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 and also the power of attorney holder for Mohammad Yakub vide power of attorney dated 05/08/1989. On the basis of the combined power of attorney given by the six legal heirs, Mohammad Sharif sold 34 acres of agricultural land through 12 registered sale deeds, executed in favour of various individuals between 04/02/1989 and 26/06/1989. On the basis of the power of attorney executed by Mohammad Yakub, Mohammad Sharif sold the remaining agricultural land of five acres and 64 decimal to Tilak Grah Nirman Samity vide 11 registered sale deeds and the same was executed between 15/11/1994 and 23/11/1994. Besides the power of attorney mentioned hereinabove all the 7 legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad executed 7 different power of attorneys in favour of Mohammad Sharif between February and March 1990. Vesting the rights of remaining 54 acres of land in favour of Mohammad Sharif, the power of attorney holder.”

                           To be sure, it is then stated in para 5 that, “On the strength of the 7 power of attorneys the remaining land of 54 acres was also sold to Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti by 14 registered sale deeds executed in the year 1997 and Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti further sold the land to 1500 persons.”

                        Be it noted, it is then disclosed in para 6 that, “In the FIR dated 07/02/2020, it has been alleged by the complainants that Mohammad Sharif had executed the power of attorney dated 17/01/1989 without the knowledge of the 6 legal heirs, the ancestors of the complainant and altered the remaining paragraphs of the power of attorney and thereby committed forgery. In the FIR, it was also alleged that Mohammad Sharif, in connivance with other accused persons, executed various sale deeds in favour of his family members and friends in the year 1989.” 

                             Needless to say, it would be pertinent to mention here that it is then brought out in para 7 that, “The applicant has been arrested in this case only because he happens to be on the post of President Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti, which had purchased land from Mohammad Sharif who sold the same on the strength of the power of attorneys executed in his favour by the legal heirs of Faiz Mohammad, more than twenty five years ago.” 

                             Significantly, it is then stated in para 8 that, “Learned counsel for the applicant has taken this Court through the medical documents pertaining to the applicant which are as recent as 29/05/2020, which reflect that the applicant who is aged about 78 years is suffering from a heart ailment. The oldest documents go back to the year 2016, which show that the applicant is an old patient of heart disease. Learned counsel for the applicant also states that the cell in which the applicant has been housed, one inmate was detected suffering from coronavirus. Learned counsel for the applicant has also taken this Court through various reports given by the prosecuting agency, the EOW. The first report is dated 28/03/2020 addressed to the Special Judge, EOW, Bhopal. In paragraph 16, the said report lays down the allegation specific to the applicant. The allegation is that the applicant Colonel Bhupendra Singh (Retd.), is the President of the Tilak Grah Nirman Samiti and in that capacity he sold 34 acres of agricultural land from the 39 acres and the remaining 5 acres and 64 decimal were purchased in the name of the Grih Nirman Society, it is not the case of the EOW that any property has been purchased in the name of the applicant. It further says that this land which belong to Yakub Mohammad was transferred to the Grih Nirman Society by Mohammad Sharif, the power of attorney holder for Yakub Mohammad (by power of attorney dated 05/08/1989) and for the remaining six legal heirs, through power of attorney dated 17/01/1989, through 11 registered sale deeds between 15/11/1994 to 23/11/1994. The second report is dated 30/06/2020, where yet again in paragraph 16, the same identical role is attributed to the applicant as has been stated hereinabove with regard to the first report. Likewise, also in the remaining two reports (in all four reports) given to the Special Judge at Bhopal (EOW, Bhopal) it is the same allegation. The Ld. Counsel for the State has opposed the applicant for grant of bail on the ground that investigation is still in progress.”

                                         More significantly, it is then held in para 9 that, “This Court feels it essential to refer to the judgment of the Supreme Court in Joginder Kumar’s case where the Supreme Court has extensively discussed the power of the police to effect an arrest. The Supreme Court refers to the third National Police Commission report and extracts therefrom “In India, Third Report of the National Police Commission at p. 32 also suggested: “An arrest during the investigation of a cognizable case may be considered justified in one or other of the following circumstances: (i) The case involves a grave offence like murder, dacoity, robbery, rape etc., and it is necessary to arrest the accused and bring his movements under restraint to infuse confidence among the terror-stricken victims. (ii) The accused is likely to abscond and evade the processes of law. (iii) The accused is given to violent behaviour and is likely to commit further offences unless his movements are brought under restraint. (iv) The accused is a habitual offender and unless kept in custody he is likely to commit similar offences again. It would be desirable to insist through departmental instructions that a police officer making an arrest should also record in the case diary the reasons for making the arrest, thereby clarifying his conformity to the specified guidelines……” [Joginder Kumar v. State of U.P., (1994) 4 SCC 260, Paragraph 20]. After reproducing the above from the NPC report, the Supreme Court holds “The above guidelines are merely the incidents of personal liberty guaranteed under the Constitution of India. No arrest can be made because it is lawful for the police officer to do so. The existence of the power to arrest is one thing. The justification for the exercise of it is quite another. The police officer must be able to justify the arrest apart from his power to do so. Arrest and detention in police lock-up of a person can cause incalculable harm to the reputation and self-esteem of a person. No arrest can be made in a routine manner on a mere allegation of commission of an offence made against a person. It would be prudent for a police officer in the interest of protection of the constitutional rights of a citizen and perhaps in his own interest that no arrest should be made without a reasonable satisfaction reached after some investigation as to the genuineness and bona fides of a complaint and a reasonable belief both as to the person’s complicity and even so as to the need to effect arrest. Denying a person of his liberty is a serious matter. The recommendations of the Police Commission merely reflect the constitutional concomitants of the fundamental right to personal liberty and freedom. A person is not liable to arrest merely on the suspicion of complicity in an offence. There must be some reasonable justification in the opinion of the officer effecting the arrest that such arrest is necessary and justified. Except in heinous offences, an arrest must be avoided if a police officer issues notice to person to attend the Station House and not to leave the Station without permission would do. [Joginder Kumar v. State of U.P., (1994) 4 SCC 260, Paragraph 20].  

                     Most distressingly, it is pointed out in para 10 without mincing any words that, “This court is distressed at the alacrity and absolute insensitivity with which the EOW has considered it fit to arrest the applicant. It just didn’t matter to the EOW that the applicant is a senior citizen aged seventy-eight. It mattered little to them that the applicant was suffering from a heart ailment. The EOW couldn’t care less that the applicant with his co-morbidities came under the high-risk category of persons for whom the corona affliction could prove fatal. Not for a moment, did the EOW pause to think whether it was necessary to arrest the applicant in a case where the alleged offence was committed more than twenty-five years ago. In the facts of this case, the arrest of the applicant by the EOW betrays a sadistic pleasure on the part of the EOW to decimate the dignity and self-respect of the applicant by arresting him in a case where an arrest was simply not warranted.”       

                                     Most significantly yet most tellingly,  it is then lamented in para 11 that, “We in the judiciary too have not exactly covered ourselves with glory in the manner in which we have dealt with the applicant. The rejection order of the Ld. Court below is routine and completely devoid of human empathy to the plight of the applicant, unmoved either by the age of the applicant, his health condition or his peripheral involvement in the case or that his arrest has been effected in an alleged offence which has taken place more than twenty five years ago. The Ld. Court below does not even momentarily reflect on the need for the continued incarceration of the applicant but for observing that the investigation is still in progress. The rejection of the applicants bail application by the Ld. Court below is not unique to the present case but reflects a deeper malaise afflicting the District Judiciary which displays a subliminal fear in allowing bail applications under the perceived notion that explanation may be called for by the High Court if, in the opinion of the High Court, the discretion in granting bail by the Ld. Court below is erroneously exercised. Resultantly, for the District Judiciary, Jail is the norm and bail the exception. An application which ought to have been allowed by the Ld. Court below, has trudged its way up to this court and nothing can indict the insensitivity of the judicial process more than this case where the applicant, a retired Colonel of the Indian Army, a senior citizen aged 78 years, ailing from a heart disease, has been in judicial custody since 24/07/2020 for an alleged non-heinous offence committed over twenty five years ago. Hardly the picture of a welfare state.” 

                          Briefly stated, it is then stated in the last relevant para 12 that the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be forthwith enlarged on bail upon his furnishing a personal bond of Rs 10,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. It is also directed that a copy of this order be sent to the court concerned by e-mail to expedite the process of furnishing the bail bonds.

                    Finally, para 13 then concludes by observing that, “The jail authorities shall have the applicant checked by the jail doctor to ensure that he is not suffering from the coronavirus and if he is, he shall be sent to the nearest hospital designated by the State for treatment. If not, he shall be transported to his place of residence by the jail authorities.”

                       In short, MP High Court has not minced any words to highlight its strongest displeasure at the manner in which EOW arrested a 78-year-old retired Colonel of Army in a case where arrest was just not warranted at all and also at the manner in which the courts below rejected the applicant’s bail application! This was most shocking and so rightly condemned by the MP High Court. No denying it!

Child Labor – That can be your child too


Article by – Shishir Tripathi
Intern at Hariyali foundation in collaboration with Educational News

Every child has the right to live a beautiful childhood filled with a lot of memories of laughter, enjoyment and mischief. It is basically a very lovely process of modeling an infant into a responsible, smart, endearing, productive and a well developed human being. At this tender age, proper nurturing of a kid is really important. A child demands attention, love, care and a hand above his head that will protect him from all the adversities and problems in life.


But not every kid is blessed to have a childhood as described above. According to UNICEF and ILO, the total number of children engaged in child labor, within the age group 5-17 in the year 2013, is 168 million.


Talking about India itself becomes far more essential and sensible too, when one is living in India. According to 2011 census, out of 259.64 billion children, 10.1 million children were working as child laborers within the age group of 5-17.

The constitution of India in the Fundamental rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy prohibits child labor in any mine or factory or castle or engaged in any other hazardous employment.


The Child Labor Prohibition and Prevention Act was passed on 23 December, 1986. Further in 2016, certain amendments were made in the act. The amendment has introduced the concept of adolescent labor for the first time. An adolescent has been defined as a person between the ages of 14-18 years. The amendment permits employment of adolescent labor except in hazardous processes or occupation. The number of hazardous occupations and processes has been reduced from 83 to only 3. The offences under the Act have now been made compoundable and cognizable notwithstanding the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Child Labor Act provides for rehabilitation of children and adolescent who have been victims under the provisions of the Child Labor Act. It provides for setting up of the Child and Adolescent Labor Rehabilitation Fund in which all the amounts of penalty have to be realized. Liability has been affixed upon the parents and guardian of the affected child/children separately from the employers. The Act provides for increased penalty and imprisonment which shall not be less than 6 months and may extend up to 2 years and fine which may vary between Rs.20, 000 to Rs. 50,000.


Despite all this, incidents of child thefts are increasing day by day. Very few of those get rescued by Police. The others, where do they go, what they do, how do they live, are all unanswered questions to the families and the society.

But deep down everyone knows that those missing children are the ones cleaning dirty utensils in the roadside dhabas and in the fancy restaurants of city too. They are forced to do begging, they are made physically handicapped, they are brutally beaten and even exploited sexually. They are sent to abroad to work in mines, and do child labor. They are sold as servants to the so called big people and they even face trafficking basically meant for their sexual exploitation.


According to the latest data from National Crime Records Bureau, 63,407 children went missing in 2016 in India. On an average, 174 children in India go missing per day.


All over the world, children are being exploited through child labor. This mentally and physically dangerous work interferes with schooling and long-term development. Innocent little children are thrown into such a hazardous world that put them at the risk of getting a disease, being physically handicapped and simply death.


A child needs love. Love by his family, and the society. He has full right to live an amazing childhood and the right to cherish memories to be made with family and school too. Several NGOs are working to prevent children from child labor and providing them the right childhood by the means of either sending them to their real parents or in some cases adoption.


Through this article just carry one lesson with yourself that a small attempt by your side to stop child labor can help a child living a beautiful childhood and hence a beautiful life.

Whenever one witnesses a child being engaged in child labor, or finds a missing child, they must report the police station or call the helpline 1098.


A missing child is a parent’s worst nightmare. He or she can be your child too.


Hence, wake up and stand boldly against Child Labor.

Bhagawad Gita: The origin and abstract of all teachings

On the auspicious day of Teachers day- 5th September. Let’s take a moment to remember all the ancient learning we have learned or came across till now. Today is also the birthday of former President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He is also quoted as very famous teacher and hence today is also celebrated as Teachers day. Here we are taking a look at some of great teachings that were given to lord Krishna to great Arjuna.

Arjun were in dire confusion about the existence, death and soul. What is the ultimate goal, and many such questions and then Krishna showered him with the ultimate and most precious knowledge by teaching him

Arjun asked – “Those devotees who, ever steadfast, worship You after this fashion, and those others who worship the Imperishable and Unmanifest – which of these have greater knowledge of yoga?”

The Lord said: “Those who have fixed their minds on Me, and who, ever faith, worship Me – them do I hold to be perfect in yoga.”

“And those who have completely controlled their senses and are of even mind under all conditions and thus worship the Imperishable, the Ineffable, the Incomprehensible, the Immutable, the Unchanging, the Eternal – they devoted to the welfare of all beings, attain Me alone, and none else.

The task of those whose minds are set on the Unmanifest is more difficult; for the ideal of the Unmanifest is hard to attain for those who are embodied.”

“But those who consecrate all their actions to Me, regarding Me as the Supreme Goal, and who worship Me, meditating on Me with single-minded concentration – to them, whose minds are thus absorbed in Me, verily I become ere long, O Partha, the Saviour from the death-fraught ocean of the world.”

“Fix your mind on Me alone, rest your thoughts on Me alone, and in Me alone you will live hereafter. Of this there is no doubt.”

 “If you are unable to do even this, then be self-controlled, surrender the fruit of all action, and take refuge in Me.”

“Knowledge is better than practice, and meditation is better than knowledge. Renunciation of the fruit of action is better than meditation; peace immediately follows such renunciation.”

“If you are unable to fix your mind steadily on Me, O Dhananjaya, then seek to reach me by the yoga of constant practice.”

“If you are incapable of constant practice, then devote yourself to My service. For even by rendering service to Me you will attain perfection.”

“He by whom the world is not afflicted and whom the world cannot afflict, he who is free from joy and anger, fear and anxiety – he is dear to Me.”

“He who is free from dependence, who is pure and prompt, unconcerned and untroubled, and who has renounced all undertakings – dear to Me is the man who is thus devoted to Me.”

 “He who never hates any being and is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from the feelings if “I” and “mine” and even-minded in pain and pleasure, who is forbearing, ever content, and steady in contemplation, who is self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, and who has consecrated his mind and understanding to Me – dear to Me is the one who is thus devoted to Me.”

As we celebrate the Teacher’s day in 2020, let’s understand the perspective of students on how they expect teachers to be with them and how they want to cope up with teachers. We usually teach people around us somewhat to get them better at something. So, now we are doing the vice versa by understanding the prospective.

  • Listen to the students-Lord Krishna very patiently listened to Arjun when he was demotivated. Listening will help you know more about your student and the teacher student relationship also strengthens. While listening don’t judge your student, neither be angry on his works. Just understand that he is on his way of learning and he will commit mistakes.
  • Build a trust relationship with students-Lord Krishna and Arjuna depicted the best student teacher relationship where Arjuna had complete trust on Lord Krishna. Build a relationship with students so that after getting lessons from you they have a strong belief that the success is for sure and there is no point of defeat. Because at the end their success and their happiness is something that is going to give you immense satisfaction.
  • Answer with validation and reasoning-A student can’t believe in anything you say. He needs a proper reasoning of Why or Why not? Reasoning should be given on your own experience or based on some logic. Find different creative ways of answering a problem. A student should not be taught to just assume things and answers should not just be imposed on him without proper validation and logic. In Bhagawad Gita, Lord Krishna put his points with full validation and reasoning and convinced Arjuna in every possible way.
  • Satiate the hunger of inquisitive minds-A teacher should feel very enthusiastic in answering the inquisitive minds and should not be irritated if the student asks more questions. Lord Krishna very patiently answered all questions that were arising in the mind of Arjuna.

When a parent sends their children to school, they are actually sending their dreams to you to come true and fulfilling somebody’s dream is a great job.

One Rule…can end up corruption by 70%


There are many people who talks about it , and few screams and fight to end it…………but since ages, it’s not being possible to make a difference, and still have not got independence from it’s foul smell, where someone dwelling in it , without sense. But, should we live in this rut forever ?…And to accept ourselves as incapable of destroying it, and to live like a looser.


I have a one brilliant rule, if it comes into play that undoubtedly changes the fate of the country. Before i reveal it, let us know why this rule works besides many measures being taken were failing since decades.
The main feasible condition for corruption, is lack of surveillance and awareness among people,and how it greatly damages our standard of living. So,creating awareness among all the people might sometimes work, but most of the time it rewards us with great disappointment. because, India has biggest population, it’s hard to make all of us to bring on to one platform with one voice.


But, there was no dearth of solution, if we think and the first said idea is………….
This idea works with collection of students, professors, university bodies, govt anti corruption and adminstrative bodies , police.
You may wonder that how, could you connect students, professors with police?
The bitter fact is, about 90% of indian passouts graduates are unskilled according to the several esteemed surveys. The main reason for it is, not having a platform to access practical knowledge, we have severe shortage of internship opportunities and real time project works. This problem can also be indirectly solved by our main idea.

The govt should make project works mandatory and give them more importance in their course, some may refrain with this idea…but if we couldn’t able to perform on projects itself, how can we able to sustain after getting to global market; initially it might be hard, but with support of our peer and lecturers we can excel gradually.
Now, we all should be assigned project works by our colleges in collaboration with national education body (now MHRD), only on all governmental assets and organisations….here comes a game changing shot. But, how is it possible?

The government must allow all the students to study governmental organisations, properties, and projects build by them.(let’s say a dam, hospital etc…). This helps to make an assessment for the quality of work being done in various govt fields and organisations.The reports submitted by students can be used by anti corruption agencies and help them to understand the situation at very ground level. As it’s not possible for anti corruption agencies to keep an eye over every inch of the whole country, they can use this student community as a strongest trustworthy network as they don’t provide false reports, if in case; the professor and the whole college who guided him will be felt guilt, and leads to their lack of reputation in society. so, this locking system can help students ro not provide false reports.

All the students must be allotted some projects on live aspects(like dams, hospitals ,industries built and being run by govt) in their respective fields, and we have to start analyzing their maintenance and prepare and submit the report of it’s quality and working efficiency. Here itself, we get an opportunity to dig up the flaws went up and to make a change by preparing efficient reports of the atrocities made and corruption that underwent.

For say, i’m a student of civil engineering, got a project to understand about kaleshwaram dam and have to submit report on it. I started by when it has built, and how much cost it took, what are the materials used in it, what are the technologies use in it, why does the walls of the dam is being getting cracks just after 5 years of its inauguration, what is the reason for recent fire accident……..when i submit the detail report to the college, I am gonna get my marks
The above said will be the work of every student in every field, not only engineering also health,law, agriculture,finance and every field.
Instead the anti corruption bureau working on intensive ground level, they can collect all the project reports form all colleges and will be easier for them to take action, by using the information.
As, it is a real time project, the professor of individual group must take care of no flaws and genuinity of information, as it will be a major source for higher govt authorities to take action.
In simple, students has to set on to study the past govt projects and organisations; and the detailed project reports and student community acts as a strong surveillance framework and it bring out the corruptions of the past as well as prevents the corruptions of the future. This idea, if it honed by the bright minds of our country, it can surely be an influential act.

Women in Politics

Compared to the past, we now witness that there has been strengthening of women’s participation in all spheres of life as a major discourse of economic and social development in the last few decades. Many international and bilateral development agencies have proclaimed policies to integrate women better into social and economic processes. However, in spite of this, we see that they share a low presence in elected political bodies. This points to the fact that the universal adult franchise is inadequate to overcome the overwhelming structural constraints that impede female presence in political office. Some reasons for this include the traditional recruiting practices of political parties, the differential time budget of women, furthermore, in developing countries women have lower educational achievements due to social norms that restrict their freedom of movement.

A range of thinkers have opined that quotas for women have proved to be viable to overcome such structural obstacles. Countries that managed to enlarge the number of female representatives is because of the reservation of seats either through self-imposed party regulations or through legal action by the state. But there are critics who say that quotas are discriminatory in nature and it is also criticized by those who don’t view women as the political category in themselves.

India has a women’s quota of 33% at the local level. This happened via the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution. It laid down new rules for the establishment and design of rural local government i.e. Panchayati Raj. This stipulates that at least 33% of seats and positions have to be filled by women. The proponents believe this quota will lead to their empowerment but critics claim that women will act merely as proxies for influential men and they also say that women in rural India lack basic qualifications that are required for such positions of power. What becomes important in this regard is that power defines politics and power is needed for the empowerment of women who have been marginalized historically and hence, proponents assume that through quotas women would transform politics by introducing new issues and different ways of doing politics.

Political Scientist Evelin Hust conducted a field research in Balipatna Block of Khordha district and Block Gania in Nayagarh district in Odisha where she identified a couple of problems. One such issue that she identified was that the female legislators may or may not work for the benefit of women. Therefore, quotas can be an enabling condition for women empowerment but it is not sufficient by itself. Another issue being that by and large women lacked knowledge about politics due to being less educated. Moreover, the dominant discourse is still opposed to women’s political role in rural politics. Women also lacked actual political presence of the representatives as it was noted that women signed up for the panchayat records at home while it was their husbands who participated in such meetings. 

However, there are also many positive gains in regard to the process of empowerment of the female representatives. They gained new knowledge about politics and local issues. Women have achieved higher visibility in village community which is a very important development for rural India. But women empowerment cannot be guaranteed by quotas alone, we need additional strategies in place to promote self-reliance of women as well as remove the structural obstacles.

Remembering the Greatest Teacher

The first vice-president and second president of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was above all a great teacher and a world renowned philosopher-author. Today on 5th September as we celebrate Teacher’s Day let’s take a moment and reminisce the man behind this, Dr. S Radhakrishnan.

Dr. Radhakrishnan was born on 5 September 1888 at Tiruttani in Tamil Nadu. He pursued BA and then MA in Philosophy from Madras Christian College. From 1918-21 he was a professor in Philosophy at Mysore University. Next he was appointed to King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta. He represented CU at the Congress of the Universities of the British Empire in June 1926 as well as at the International Congress of Philosophy at Harvard University, the USA in September 1926. He was knighted in 1931 by the British Crown. He was appointed as a Spalding professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at the University of Oxford in 1936.

Dr. S Radhakrishnan said “Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5 September is observed as Teachers’ Day”, the day originated. He quoted “The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves.” He was highly admired and respected by his teachers; in bidding him farewell from Mysore University his students had arranged for a flower-decked carriage to take him to the railway station which, was pulled by the students themselves.

Dr S Radhakrishnan was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1952 for his exemplary contributions. In 1954, he received the German ‘Order pour le Merite for Arts and Science’ and in 1961, the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. He is regarded to be one of the most distinguished 20th century scholar of comparative religion and philosophy.

Dr S Radhakrishnan is a role model for all the teachers and scholars world-over. He serves as an inspiration for all Indians. His birth anniversary is celebrated as a day to thank our teachers and mentors who guide us in achieving our aims. He makes us realize the value of education as he said, “The end product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature”.

A security guard was driven over and killed by a teenager

The youth today is becoming extremely careless. This article says why that is.

An 18 year old girl drove her AUDI car over a security guard, kills him and goes to sleep as if nothing had happened. The teenager was trying to park her car in the parking lot of her apartment complex. This incident took place at Foreshore estate in Santhome, Chennai.

Reports say that the girl did not notice that she was running over the security guard.

The security guard named D Sivaprakasam was a retired government officer, joined the work as a security guard at an apartment complex in Santhome, Chennai just a week before. On the other side, the girl is 18-years-old named Aparna; daughter of a real-estate agent lived in the same apartment for which Sivaprakasam was a security guard. The security guard was asleep when the incident took place and the girl says that she did not notice him even after she drove over him.

According to the reports, a 68-year-old security guard named D Sivaprakasam was asleep and was driven over by an 18-year-old girl named Aparna. The girl says that she did not notice running over him until the police shown her a CCTV footage of her running over him. Aparna was parking her car in the parking lot of her apartment for which Sivaprakasam was a security guard. She ran over him with her headlights turned off. The girl says that she did not hear any cries and gone to her house and slept. The police were informed by the neighbors who saw the security guard’s body lying in a blood pool. The police investigated the incident and filed FIR against Aparna.

A First Information Report (FIR) was filed on the girl under a section 304(A) (death due to negligence).but she was given bail immediately as she has a valid driving license.

Police said that the girl did not notice that she ran over Sivaprakasam, who was asleep with a bed sheet over him and also she did not hear any cries.

The Times of India had reported that, Aparna climbed an incline before entering the parking lot and allegedly had her headlights turned off, due to which Sivaprakasam may not have been visible.

However, none of these reasons could get back Sivaprakasam and fulfill his absence in their family. Here, in this incident, we can blame neither the girl as she didn’t do it on purpose nor the security guard who slept on the parking way. But however the loss has occurred.

The girl noticing her headlights off could stop her car for a while and could them on. On the other side, the security guard could be conscious enough and could sleep on a side rather than in the driving zone. If anyone of these had happened, if anyone of the both had done the above, then this incident wouldn’t have occurred. One in two has to be cautious enough because, if both eject their negligence out, then loss will be for both.

The show must go on

The corona-virus pandemic has upended all areas of life and certainly, sports is no exception to this. Cancelled tournaments, postponed tournaments, matches without spectators, the sports community has witnessed it all. Every aspect of sports has been affected, from the athletes themselves to media coverage. Economically speaking, matches without spectators incur significant losses but the impact of the pandemic is much more drastic than that.

The global value of the sports industry was estimated to be $471 billion in 2018. Now due to the global pandemic, every part of the sporting value chain has been affected, from athletes, teams and leagues, tournaments, to the media that cover these games. Even the Summer Olympics that were to be held in Tokyo this year was pushed to 2021 owing to the prevailing conditions. The Indian Premier League (IPL), which is the richest cricket league in the world, was postponed indefinitely by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in March and is now slated to commence from 19th September 2020.

It is a fact that the sports fraternity will continue to be under some stress even after the world starts adapting to living the new normal life because even when the economy is fully opened, fans’ wearing masks, gloves, and practising social distancing would become the new defining features of life.

From the perspective of an athlete, most sports are played in front of a packed stadium but now due to social distancing, this will not happen. The players will not get the satisfaction of seeing a full-house as they are forced to play in front of empty stands. Even when respective governments begin to allow spectators, it would not be anywhere close to the full capacity for a long time owing to the prevalent social distancing norms.

In Taiwan, the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CBPL) games were played in front of dummy spectators made out of cardboard sheets. This was a desperate attempt to give players a sense of playing in front of audience and also to make the game look better on TV. 

In the case of IPL, the BCCI generates revenues in the form of broadcasting rights. The BCCI is not relying on the sale of tickets as the revenues generated from auctioning the broadcasting rights make up for the most part. In a pandemic hit world, other sports can seek to implement the same. Needless to say, in order for that to happen, the league and the sport must be popular enough to bring in the required cash flow.

It will require a significant period of time for things to go back to being the same they were. But until then, all sporting action cannot and will not be paused. There are huge sums of money involved in hosting any league or sporting event, they must go on even if with certain modifications and restrictions which are the need of the hour. Till the time the threat of the virus fades away, we have no choice but to adapt to the new lifestyle trends. The show must go on.

Sex Education


Priya Yadav,
Sex education is a broad term used to describe human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, and education about human sexual behavior. Some forms of sex education are part of the curriculum in many schools. This remains a controversial issue in many countries, particularly at the age in which children should begin to receive education regarding human sexuality and behavior. So that teenagers can be prepared to accept the changes happening at this age. Knowledge of sex education is as important as knowledge of other subjects. In India, sex education is not even mentioned in college, which results in misconceptions related to sex education, superstitions about sex, and many problems related to it. As soon as the word ‘sex’ comes to our attention in India, in today’s time it is important for us to understand that giving education to children is not a wrong thing but it helps in their proper development and upbringing. Many parents still feel hesitant to tell their children about sex education and because of this, they are unable to talk to their children about it.
In the year 2007, the Government of India started the program of adolescent education. There was constant opposition to this. Some states had banned it. Despite this, the program was implemented in select government and private schools. However, now it is necessary to understand that hesitating with this subject will not do. If children are not given the right sex education, gender-based violence, gender inequality, early and unintended pregnancies, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections will increase and become difficult to prevent. In such a situation, it is important that not only the teacher in the school but also the parents should keep away from the hesitation and talk to their child on this subject.
. Many parents feel that sex education is a one-time discussion in which they have to tell their children only about the act of sex and about puberty. But it is not so. The process of sex education becomes easy when we see it as a continuous action and discuss it in a few moments of daily life. For example, whenever you see an advertisement for sanitary napkins while watching TV, on that occasion you can talk to your child about puberty and menstruation.
. Teenagers need to be aware of sexual health in a timely manner. Through sex education, teenage children will understand the identity of good and bad relations, information about relationships and intimacy, and attitudes, beliefs, and importance. The World Health Organization has defined that sexual health is not only a disease or a debility, but sexual health is also concerned with physical, emotional, mental and social well-being.
. Youths experience changes in their physical development and behavior as they enter puberty. Therefore, education in this regard during adolescence (12-19 years) is very important.
. It is very important that adolescent boys and girls know the reasons for the changes in their body, they should be given sex education when they reach adolescence. Both boys and girls need to understand the menstrual cycle. So that girls can accept this as a normal role of nature and boys have sympathy and sensitivity towards girls going through this cycle rather than hating menstruation, tampons, and sanitary pads. To be sensitive to this issue it is necessary to know about it.
. By spreading awareness about sex, there will be awareness about other related issues including diseases like sexual diseases and HIV at the time of conception. According to the WHO, 34 percent of people in the age group of 12 to 19 in the world are infected with HIV.
. Sex education will make the youth responsible and thus they will decide to have sex with full knowledge of the possible outcome rather than eagerness and will be able to face such reactions without any negative effect.
. The youth should not be ashamed to buy contraceptive material which is a very important aspect.
. To end rape, coercive physical relationships, sex education is very important.
. Most importantly, victims of child sexual abuse have to understand that something is being done wrong with them. With which they will be able to inform their parents about unpleasant incidents. A study by the Department of Women and Child Development shows that about 53 percent of the children in the country have been victims of some kind of sexual abuse.
Parents should Explain from a young age that the way all the brushes, towels, etc. are completely private and different and should not be used by anyone else, in the same way, these parts of their body are also completely private, which you Should not be exposed to anyone else. Also, tell them that if anyone touches or rubs his limbs, he should tell you immediately. By doing this, we will be able to inform the children about the privacy of their private parts as well as protect them from child sexual abuse. Tell children about good and bad touch. Even if any close relatives, neighbors, teachers or doctors, etc. touch them with wrong intentions, keep them instructed to inform you immediately. Your training will protect your child from sexual abuse. Because many times it happens that even the wrong touch of close people, the children do not get it wrong and knowingly and unknowingly get trapped in their illusion and parents do not even feel the news of their sexual exploitation. And by the time the truth is revealed, many times it is too late.
If your teenage child has feelings of knowing about sex or experimenting on sex, then there is no harm in it. But it becomes our responsibility to teach them to postpone it to the right time. We can explain to our children in such a way that there is an appropriate time to eat and drink, sleep and wake up, just as a discipline is necessary for everything in life, similarly, there is an age to enter into sex life. When physically-mentally immature youth try to enjoy sex, they get nothing but remorse, guilt, and physical-mental discomfort. Sex is not only the medium of wishful fulfillment but is also a powerful medium for the expression of love and the birth of good children. Therefore, let them explain that sex should not be taken as an important aspect of life rather than merely as a means of fulfilling enjoyment or lust, so that sex life can be properly enjoyed.
Apart from other problems, to make married life happy, both men and women should have complete knowledge about sex. Accurate knowledge of sex is as important as knowledge of other subjects. In our country, sex education is not given even in medical colleges, as a result of which superstitions, misconceptions, and many problems related to sex arise. So every parent should teach their child about sex and give them sex education.

Why, TEACHERS??

“Shut up! Jao jaake class ke bahar khade ho jao”. I still think, was it a punishment or just a way of giving freedom to go washroom or bunk the class.

Hey friends, today is a special day. Today is Teacher’s day, and it’s not only for school teachers but to every single person who came in our life, because everyone teach something. But, school teacher is important because, they only taught us that whosoever is teaching you is to be respected.

Sir/ma’am, your selfless acts are still helping us in our life. Thank you for teaching us everything from the book and those discipline, which you made us to learn for life.
But, today I’m writing this for you and the company you gave us, not about those things which you taught us even though we all are thankful for that.

Rightnow, we adults are happy that we didn’t had to attend online classes. Man! That’s really Scarry. Means you can’t meet your friends, you can’t see your crush, you can’t live the most precious life, your school life. At that time the most hateable person was our teachers, and we are sorry for that, But, because you always stoped us from enjoying. Which at a certain age we only do it by our own, and you all grown up peoples were knowing that, still you stoped us from doing, why?.

Still, when you leave your school and move forward in your life, you are going back to them like, a boomerang. The way you hate your teachers back then, yeah!, you are gonna wish for having them as your teacher, back in your life again.

What you will never understand is there  punishment. Those punishment which were meaning less back then and even now. Go outside, write this 20 times on blackboard, murga bano, and keep your hands up. Why?? And there dialogues, Khana khaana to nhi bhule? Like you all wanted to answer that particular question, right? Yeah, because my body wants food for energy not your homework.

Even though with all that difference, one thing was for sure that they really treated us like there own child and forgot about that while giving marks, huh!. Thankyou teachers and HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY.

Now, what you think about your school day’s and about your teacher? Let me guess, same like me, huh! Until you attended online classes.

P.S:- A special thanks to all those teachers who use to tell us story rather then teaching us from those boring books. You all have great a part in making our school days memorable. Thankyou

❤️

See yaa.

Termination Built An Entrepreneur!…

There was a village on the banks of river Ganga. There lived a guy named Dev. He was the son of a farmer. Since his childhood, he used to manage agricultural work along with his studies. He was a scholar. He always acquired 1st rank in his school. Though he was born in a poor family, he was very confident and never let poverty come in the way of his talent. When he grew up, he scored very good marks in his 12th grade and acquired admission in one of the best engineering colleges.
During the course of engineering, he always shined. He was top in studies, extracurricular activities. He always led activities and programs from the front. There was a time when he had no money to pay the college fees, at that time, everybody in college, teachers, as well as students, helped him to pay the fees. On that day, he felt so blessed to have such amazing people with him. In the final year, he was going through many job interviews, few companies didn’t like him, few he rejected by himself. Then one fine day, a car manufacturing giant company grabs him giving a thick package. He was happy as well as excited for this experience.
The atmosphere of the company was very much new for him. He was appointed in the design and automation department. He was so happy to work with this automobile giant. Design and programming always had a special place in his heart. He was working hard, doing all the tasks given with full enthusiasm. Whenever he had doubts, he used to go to his colleagues without any hesitation. He was improving his knowledge day by day. He was a great team member. He always helped his teammates and made impossible tasks possible. His team was also awarded as the best team of the year by the board. Within a year, he got a promotion for his performance and now he was working as a team lead on the project.
One day, his department received an order of a new design. Competitors of the company were manufacturing an electrically automated car and they were about to launch it in a month. Now the task for Dev and his team was to design the required model in 15 days, so that manufacturing team can pull up their sox and manufacture and launch the car before the rival company does. It was a mammoth task for such a short duration of time and the thing was HOD of the design department was on leave for 2 months. Now the responsibility was totally onto Dev. Each of his teammates knew that this task is impossible, so they were very sad and frustrated, but Dev didn’t give up. He backed himself, boosted his team and now everyone was ready to give their best shot. Dev and his team worked night and day continuously for 8 days. On 9th day, they finalised the design with advanced features than the rival model. On 12th day, his design got approval from the manufacturing department. On day 14, m/f department was at their job. Manufacturing department worked hard, night and day, even design department helped them to make it quick. Everyone from both the departments was giving their best shot. All these efforts turn out to be fruitful and their model was on the floor on 28th day, two days before rival’s launch.
The model launched became very much successful. They captured the market with huge sales. Everybody was praising the design and manufacturing team leads. Dev and his friend Joy(manufacturing team lead) were very happy watching their efforts turning into a success. Even the board of directors called them and praised them for their work.
Everyone in the company was very happy except the two HOD’s, one of the design department and other of the manufacturing department. As they came back from a business tour, this was a surprise with a shock for them. Two newly joined juniors of their department made such impossible project possible. Now they could see their position in danger. Instead of praising Dev and Joy for their work, they kept on demoralising them. They keep on bashing them for no reasons. All they could see was the new car project they made successfully. Bringing them down became the motto for both HOD’s. Both of them had a good hold on the board of directors. They used to listen to the suggestions given by them. Then one day, both the HOD’s unitedly prepared fake account papers stating about the fraud of 50 crores in the manufacturing and design department for the electrically automated vehicle project. They even compromised a few employees promising them for promotion. They presented these papers in front of the board of directors. Board could see evidence along with witnesses. Even the BOD knew somewhere that Dev and Joy can’t do this, but they had solid evidence in front of them. Both Dev and Joy tried to convince them that they are innocent but failed. So both of them were proven guilty and were terminated from the company. They fought the case in the court and these took several years.
When they got a clean chit, both of them tried to get a job. But no company was ready to give them a job as per their past records. They felt so helpless. They were suffering for the crime they didn’t even commit. They kept on trying for a job for a year but failed.
One day, they decided to start their own venture. They bought a place on lease and began their journey. Dev used to design the product and Joy used to manufacture them. At first, they were not getting much response from the customers. But with bits and pieces and a lot of hard work, they settled themselves in the market. They focused on laser cutting business. Many automobile companies tied up with them for cutting of raw materials. After a few years of hard work, they became a renowned name in the laser cutting industry. Later they expanded their business to two-wheeler manufacturing and then four-wheeler manufacturing. Now there was nothing stopping them. They kept going working hard. After a few years and a lot of hard work, they captured the automobile market on a larger scale. People could only see vehicles of their company on the road. There came a time when the automobile giant which threw them out was at a heavy loss. It was about to shut down. But at this time, both Dev and Joy showed that they have a big heart and bought the company. The company which threw them out with false allegations got a new life only because of them. Success couldn’t be any better than this for Joy and Dev.

Unpopular but good books you must take a look

Red Rising & Golden Son

by Brown Pierce

A tale set in a bleak future society torn by class divisions follows the experiences of secret revolutionary Darrow, who after witnessing his wife’s execution by an oppressive government joins a revolutionary cell and attempts to infiltrate an elite military academy. The novel, set on a future planet Mars, follows lowborn miner Darrow as he infiltrates the ranks of the elite Golds.

It has been seven hundred years since mankind colonized other planets. The powerful ruling class of humans has installed a rigid, color-based social hierarchy where the physically superior Golds at the top rule with an iron fist. He and his wife Eon are captured after entering a forbidden area and are arrested. While she is publicly whipped for her crime, Eon sings a forbidden folk tune as a protest against their virtual enslavement.

Pierce Brown’s action-packed story explores themes such as oppression and the important responsibilities that come with power. Darrow’s radical character transformation, which is physical as well as emotional, also demonstrates the value of sacrifice and the limitless potential in all people.

Hero Worship

by Rebekah Matthews

we get to see some of Valerie’s childhood and her previous relationships, which all show pieces of the intangible quality she keeps seeking out, what she seems to be missing in her life. She latches onto various people, alternately admitting her obsession to its object or attempting to disguise it. This felt like one of the most realistic novels I’ve ever read, which may reveal more about myself than I would like. It captures the aimless, insecure twenty-something experience.

I also just love Matthews’s writing style. It seems casual and effortless but is able to evoke scenes and emotions with subtle details. I found myself torn between wanting to just keep reading and having to put down the book frequently because I empathized too much with Valerie. I would recommend this to anyone who’s felt like they’ve needed someone too much, or anyone looking for a short submersion in someone else’s sense of self. This is one of my favorites reads of this year.

A Drama in Muslin

by George Moore

 “A drama is in Muslin,” is a study of the life of a group of girlfriends. The men in the story are only silhouettes- a mere decorative background, in fact. I propose to write a similar work dealing with a group of young men, in which the women will be blotted out. Or rather constitute in their turn the decorative background. In this way I hope to produce to two books that will picture completely the youth of my own time. Written in the mid-1880s, the novel reflects the unease of the times when the activities of the Land League began increasingly to jeopardize the security of the landlords and expose the artificiality and moral inadequacies of their way of life, centred on the annual Dublin seasons and receptions at the Castle. Fresh from their convent school, Alice and Olive Barton, with the aid of their mother (one of Moore’s most brilliant portraits), are set in quest of their identities and in pursuit of a husband, for as Mrs Barton asserts ‘Marriage gives a girl liberty, gives her admiration, gives her success, a woman’s whole position depends upon it’. Alice, the more observant and intelligent of the two, quickly appreciates how completely their choices in life are conditioned by the social tensions of the age, which render words like ‘liberty’ and ‘success’ meaningless.

Blood Ties

İpek Yosmaoğlu

he region that is today the Republic of Macedonia was long the heart of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. It was home to a complex mix of peoples and faiths who had for hundreds of years lived together in relative peace. To be sure, these people were no strangers to coercive violence and various forms of depredations visited upon them by bandits and state agents. In the final decades of the nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth century, however, the region was periodically racked by bitter conflict that was qualitatively different from previous outbreaks of violence. InBlood Ties, Ipek K. Yosmaoglu explains the origins of this shift from sporadic to systemic and pervasive violence through a social history of the “Macedonian Question.”

Yosmaoglu’s account begins in the aftermath of the Congress of Berlin (1878), when a potent combination of zero-sum imperialism, nascent nationalism, and modernizing states set in motion the events that directly contributed to the outbreak of World War I and had consequences that reverberate to this day. Focusing on the experience of the inhabitants of Ottoman Macedonia during this period, she shows how communal solidarities broke down, time and space were rationalized, and the immutable form of the nation and national identity replaced polyglot, fluid associations that had formerly defined people’s sense of collective belonging. The region was remapped; populations were counted and relocated. An escalation in symbolic and physical violence followed, and it was through this process that nationalism became an ideology of mass mobilization among the common folk. Yosmaoglu argues that national differentiation was a consequence, and not the cause, of violent conflict in Ottoman Macedonia.

The edge of sadness

Edwin O’connor

In this moving novel, Father Hugh Kennedy, a recovering alcoholic, returns to Boston to repair his damaged priesthood. There he is drawn into the unruly world of the Carmody’s, a sprawling, prosperous Irish family teeming with passion and riddled with secrets. The story of this entanglement is a beautifully rendered tale of grace renewal, of friendship and longing, of loneliness and spiritual aridity giving way to hope.

The first edition of this Pulitzer Prize winner was published by Little, Brown and Company in 1961. It was 460 pages long, and the original retail price was $5.00. The first edition can be identified by the following points: “FIRST EDITION” is stated on copyright page and no blind stamp on the back boards. Note: there are book club editions that also state “FIRST EDITION”. But the book club edition has a blind stamp on the back.

QUANTITATIVE GOALS FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES

While COVID-19 is almost exclusively a human disease, it’s clear there can be spillover into animals. That’s probably of greatest concern in pets, because of the amount of contact we have with them and the susceptibility of some pet species (especially cats and ferrets). However, while we have less contact with other types of animals, there might still be important implications. We don’t know the range of species that can be affected and the potential animal health impacts in each species. We also don’t want this virus establishing itself in wild animals. Ultimately, we want to keep this a “human problem” by preventing movement into animal populations, for the sake of animals and ourselves. The outbreak of COVID-19 in lions and tigers at the Bronx Zoo raised concerns about risks to wild tiger populations. While there’s less human contact with those animals, they often live in fairly (surprisingly) close proximity to people, and there can (normally) be a lot of people visiting parks and reserves. The risk of infection is probably low, but we want to avoid any health hazards in threatened or endangered populations if we can.


A recent ProMed mail post discussed COVID-19 in a tiger at Pench Tiger Reserve in India. It’s unclear whether the tiger actually had COVID-19. It seems that park staff were concerned because of the reports of COVID-19 at the Bronx Zoo and that their response was out of abundance of caution rather than an actual diagnosis. Regardless, it’s something that needs to be considered in areas where people can get close to wild cats. As countries in South Asia went into lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus, criminals in the illegal wildlife trade took advantage. With authorities focussed on enforcing lockdown restrictions, poachers felt less likely to be caught.
As a result, authorities in India, Pakistan and Nepal said there was a surge in illegal hunting, including of endangered animals and rare birds. To make matters worse, the economic consequences of the Covid-19 lockdown also saw people who had lost their livelihoods turn to poaching to support themselves. While these countries have battled the illegal wildlife trade for many years, the recent lockdown has shown that the black market are well entrenched. As India went into lockdown, there was a rise in poaching registered in many parts of India: From wild birds in cages, to animals caught for bushmeat, to prized commodities in the international illegal poaching tradeAs India went into lockdown, there was a rise in poaching registered in many parts of India: From wild birds in cages, to animals caught for bushmeat, to prized commodities in the international illegal poaching trade. While forest services continue to remain operational as they are a part of essential services, the lockdown and the fear of getting infected has restricted the forest personnel from patrolling, which has resulted in wildlife poaching. Coordinated global wildlife research during this period of crisis will provide unforeseen opportunities for humans to forge a mutually beneficial coexistence with other species, and to rediscover how important a healthy environment is for our own well-being.

PUBG DETOXIFICATION

Many people around the world are suffering from different types of addictions, including drug addiction, mobile addiction and TV addiction. Joining the bandwagon is the latest PUBG mobile game addiction and it is proving to be the worst.
PUBG addicted people are so attached to the game that they often leave their food and important tasks to play the game. This addiction has also resulted in irregular sleep pattern which is a cause of great anxiety. Many mental and physical health issues have been noted in PUBG addictions.
People with PUBG addiction are at high risk of developing health issues such as chronic migraine, weak vision, obesity, insomnia, Alzheimer’s, heart problem, depression, spondylitis and schizophrenia. They lose interest in the necessary activities for a healthy life.
It is quite common to exclude social events, important business meetings and family celebrations between PUBG mobile game addiction. They prefer to play PUBG rather than engage in any of these activities. They become angry and upset if someone else guides them otherwise. They soon become socially inactive.


Children from this addiction are most affected. Parents should take the responsibility of identifying PUBG addiction warning signs in their children as their responsibility. They should help their children get rid of it as soon as possible Like students, PUBG mobile game addict is also wasting their lives. Rather than focusing on his career, he is connected to PUBG. They are unable to think beyond winning this game. Many working professional leaves, half days, delays in depositing projects, miss important meetings, and ignore their job responsibilities due to PUBG addiction. They also depict unprofessional behavior that inhibits the growth of their career. Pub mobile game addiction is also wasting personal relations. PUBG addicts spend most of their time playing games. The time he should spend with his family and friends, he gets away from this addiction. It affects personal relationships and causes a lot of stress. PUBG was recently banned by the Indian government, amid rising tensions with the Chinese officials. Apart from the battle royale sensation, they have banned 117 other applications from Indian servers, which means that these apps will not be available to download from App Stores in India.
The players of PUBG Mobile are disappointed and continuously demanding the officials to unban the game. Mobile gamers were taken aback with the announcement of PUBG mobile India getting banned from the country. PUBG Mobile has major connections with China since its mobile developers are from that country. However, avid fans of the game may not have to worry much as they can easily access the game on PC, PS and Xbox platforms. As of now, the PUBG mobile will stay in troubled waters as the controversial game always has in India. Be it deeming the game to be addictive or downright destructive for mental health, PUBG Mobile has been alleged at various instances during its infamous run in the country which has now seemingly come to a close. However, the correlation between excessive gaming and violence has not been completely tested in Indian courts.
