Blackmarketing Of Remedesivir Directly Impacts Public Order

While displaying zero tolerance for those involved in black marketing of remedesivir, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has in a brief, brilliant, bold and balanced judgment titled Sonu Bairwa Vs State of MP & Ors in WP No. 9878/2021 delivered on July 7, 2021 has upheld the detention of a man accused of black marketing of Remedesivir injections amid Covid-19 pandemic under the National Security Act, 1980. A Division Bench of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Anil Verma of Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court held that black marketing of remdesivir injection has direct impact on “public order”, and the petitioner-accused if released, could indulge into same activity because the scarcity of remdesivir is still there. Without mincing any words, the Division Bench held that, “Blackmarketing of a drug like remedesivir in days of extreme crisis is certainly such an ugly act and fact which can very well be a reason for invoking Section 3 of NSA Act against the petitioner by District Magistrate.” 

To start with, Justice Sujoy Paul who has authored this cogent, commendable, courageous, calibrated and convincing judgment for a Division Bench of Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court comprising of himself and Justice Anil Verma that was delivered on July 7, 2021 first and foremost puts forth in para 1 that, “The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution to assail the order dated 17/5/2021 whereby the District Magistrate in exercise of power u/S.3(2) read with (3) of National Security Act, 1980 (for short “NSA Act”) detained the petitioner.”
To put things in perspective, the Division Bench then discloses in para 2 that, “The petitioner was detained by District Magistrate by stating that the petitioner indulged in black marketing of Remedesivir injections. Two such injections were recovered from him. In a situation when highest numbers of Covid patients were there at Indore, the act of petitioner has caused serious threat to the ‘public order’. In view of aforesaid conduct, the detention order was passed and the grounds therefore were supplied to him.” 
While citing the relevant case law, the Bench opines in para 13 that, “The interesting conundrum relating to liberty and regarding extent of liberty and aspect of curtailment thereof is wonderfully explained by K.K. Mathew, J. in Smt. Indira Nehru Gandhi vs. Raj Narain (1975 (Supp.) SCC 1):- 
“the major problem of human society is to combine that degree of liberty without which law is tyranny with that degree of law without which liberty becomes licence; and the difficulty has been to discover the practical means of achieving this grand objective and to find the opportunity for applying these means in the ever shifting tangle of human affairs.”” 
Simply put, the Division Bench then brings out in para 14 that, “The first grievance put forth by petitioner is that in the instant case, the District Magistrate and other authorities passed the orders mechanically. This runs contrary to law laid down by Supreme Court in Khudiram Das (supra) and judgment of Allahabad High Court in Dr. Kafeel Khan (supra). This Court in its recent order passed in Yatindra Verma (supra) opined that when a detenu was not absconding and yet the authorities mentioned in their orders that he was absconding, it shows non-application of mind or acting in a mechanical manner. Thus, there is no hesitation in holding that the orders to the extent petitioner was shown to be absconding are passed without proper application of mind. However, it is noteworthy that the order of detention in case of Yatindra Verma was not set aside for incorrectly mentioning the word “absconding”. On the contrary the operative reason for setting aside the detention order in the said case was that detenu’s valuable right to make a representation against the detention order to the same authority who passed the detention order was infringed and such denial has vitiated the detention order.”
While cutting across the arguments of the petitioner’s counsel, the Division Bench then points out in para 15 that, “The learned counsel for the petitioner has taken pains to contend that present petitioner is similarly situated qua Yatindra Verma (supra). The language employed in their detention orders are identical, hence petitioner is entitled to get similar treatment. The argument on the first blush appears to be attractive, but lost much of its shine on closure scrutiny. In Yatindra Verma (supra), the petitioner therein was carrying an oxyflow meter and allegation was that he was trying to blackmarket it, whereas in the instant case, the petitioner was allegedly carrying remedesivir injections, a life saving /essential drug to fight corona virus. The SP’s report in the instant case shows that the petitioner was carrying those injections. The city of Indore was struggling to cope up the acute shortage of drugs, oxygen, beds etc. because of corona pandemic. Blackmarketing of remedesivir injection has direct impact on “public order”. The petitioner, who was already detained, if released could indulge into same activity because the scarcity of remedesivir is still there was the report of SP which was relied upon by District Magistrate.”
While justifying the detention of the petitioner under the NSA and citing the relevant case laws, the Division Bench then envisages in para 16 that, “In the factual backdrop of this case, the necessary parameters on which a person already under arrest can be detained under the NSA Act are satisfied. The judgment of Yatindra Verma (supra) cannot be mechanically pressed into service in this case. This is trite that a judgment of a Court cannot be read as Euclid’s theorem [See Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. Vs. N.R. Vairmani (2004) 8 SCC 579, C.Ronald Vs. UT Andaman & Nicobar Islands (2011) 12 SCC 428, Deepak Bajaj Vs. State of Maharashtra (2008) 16 SCC 14]. This is equally settled that little difference in facts or an additional fact may make a lot of difference in the precedential value of a decision (See Bhavnagar University Vs. Palitana Sugar Mill (P) Ltd & Ors.(2003) 2 SCC 111).”
Adding more to it, the Division Bench then makes it clear in para 17 that, “A person, who is already in custody can still be detained under NSA Act if i) detaining authority had knowledge about detenu’s custody, ii) there exists real possibility of detenu’s release on bail and, iii) necessity of preventing him from indulging in activities prejudicial to the security of State or maintenance of public order upon his release on bail. In the instant case, all the aforesaid ingredients were satisfied. (See: Kamini Yadav vs. State of MP & Ors. – WP No.25986/2018) and judgment of Supreme Court reported in (2012) 7 SCC 181 (Konungjao Singh vs. State of Manipur & Ors.).”
Furthermore, while citing yet another relevant case law, the Division Bench then mentions in para 18 that, “The Apex Court in (1986) 4 SCC 407 (Rajkumar Singh vs. State of Bihar) opined as under:- 
“Preventive detention as reiterated as hard law and must be applied with circumspection rationally, reasonably and on relevant materials. Hard and ugly facts make application of harsh laws imperative.” (Emphasis supplied).”” 
Briefly stated, the Division Bench then underscores in para 19 that, “Blackmarketing of a drug like remedesivir in days of extreme crisis is certainly such an ugly act and fact which can very well be a reason for invoking Section 3 of NSA Act against the petitioner by District Magistrate.”
Be it noted, the Division Bench then lays bare in para 20 that, “Section 3(2) of NSA Act and explanation reads as under:- 
“The Central Government or the State Government may, if satisfied with respect to any person that with a view to preventing him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the security of the State or from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order or from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the community it is necessary so to do, make an order directing that such person be detained. 
Explanation.—For the purposes of this sub-section, “acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the community” does not include “acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of supplies of commodities essential to the community” as defined in the Explanation to sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Prevention of Blackmarketing and Maintenance of Supplies of Essential Commodities Act 1980 (7 of 1980), and accordingly, no order of detention shall be made under this Act on any ground on which an order of detention may be made under that Act.” (Emphasis supplied).””
It would be instructive to note that the Division Bench then observes in para 21 that, “The use of “explanation” in a statute is an internal aid to construction. Fazal Ali J in (1985)1 SCC 591 (S. Sundaram Pillai & Ors. vs. V.R. Pattabiraman & Ors.) culled out from various judgments of Supreme Court the following as objects of an explanation to a statutory provision:- 
(a) to explain the meaning and intendment of the Act itself;
(b) where there is any obscurity or vagueness in the main enactment, to clarify the same so as to make it consistent with the dominant object which it seems to subserve,
(c) to provide an additional support to the dominant object of the Act in order to make it meaningful and purposeful;
(d) an Explanation cannot in any way interfere with or change the enactment or any part thereof but where gap is left which is relevant for the purpose of the Explanation, in order to suppress the mischief and advance the object of the Act it can help or assist the court in interpreting the true purport and intendment of the enactment; and 
(e) it cannot, however, take away a statutory right with which any person, under a statute has been clothed or set at naught the working of an Act by becoming an hindrance in the interpretation of the same. 
This principle is consistently followed by Supreme Court in (2004) 2 SCC 249 (M.P. Cement Manufacturers Association vs. State of MP & Ors.) and (2004) 11 SCC 64 (Swedish Match AB vs. Securities & Exchange Board of India).”
For the sake of clarity, the Bench then clarifies in para 22 stating that, “These examples are illustrative in nature and not exhaustive. An “explanation” may be added to include something within or to exclude something from the ambit of the main enactment or the connotation of some word occurring in it (See: Controller of Estate Duty, Gujarat Vs. Shri Kantilal Trikamlal AIR 1976 SC 1935). Similarly a negative explanation which excludes certain types of category from the ambit of enactment may have the effect of showing that the category leaving aside the excepted types is included within it (See First Income Tax Officer, Salem Vs. Short Brothers (P) Ltd. AIR 1967 SC 81). Thus, the explanation in the instant case, has a limited impact on main provision i.e. sub-section (2) of Section 3 of NSA Act. It does not dilute or take away the right of detaining authority under the NSA Act regarding eventualities relating to maintenance of ‘public order’ or security of the State.”
It is worth noting that the Division Bench then puts across in simple, straight and suave language in para 23 that, “A microscopic reading of Section 3(2) with ‘Explanation’ leaves no room for any doubt that Sub-Section (2) is wide enough and deals with three contingencies when a citizen can be detained: 
i) for preventing him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the security of State. 
ii) for preventing him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order.
iii) for preventing him from acting in any manner prejudicial to the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the community.”
While elaborating further, the Division Bench then puts forth in para 24 that, “The ‘explanation’ is limited to the contingency (iii) aforesaid only. The argument of Shri Maheshwari that since remedesivir is an essential drug/commodity, therefore, obstruction to its supply or blackmarketing can be a reason to invoke the blackmarketing act, but NSA Act cannot be invoked, is liable to be discarded for the simple reason that Sub-Section (2) of Section 3 is wide enough which contains and deals with three contingencies, whereas ‘explanation’ takes only one beyond the purview of the NSA Act if it is covered by Blackmarketing Act.”
Needless to say, the Division Bench then says categorically in para 25 that, “We find force in the argument of learned Additional Advocate General that blackmarketing of remedesivir creates a threat to “public order”. We have taken this view recently in the case of Yatindra Verma (supra) also. If ‘public order’ is breached or threatened, in order to maintain ‘public order’, NSA Act can very well be invoked. Thus, “explanation” appended to Sub-Section 2 of Section 3 of NSA Act will not exclude the operation of NSA Act in a case of this nature where ‘public order’ is breached, threatened and put to jeopardy.” 
Frankly speaking, the Division Bench then makes it clear in para 26 that, “Interpretation of a statute must depend on the text and the context. Neither can be ignored. Both are important. That interpretation is best which makes the textual interpretation match the contextual. A statute is best interpreted when we know why it was enacted. (See: 1987 (1) SCC 424- RBI vs. Peerless General Finance and Investment Co. Ltd.).”
While citing yet another relevant case law, the Division Bench then puts it succinctly in para 27 that, “The Apex Court in (2013) 3 SCC 489 (Ajay Maken vs. Adesh Kumar Gupta & Anr.) held as under:- 
“Adopting the principle of literal construction of the statute alone, in all circumstances without examining the context and scheme of the statute, may not subserve the purpose of the statute. In the words of V.R. Krishna Iyer, J., such an approach would be “to see the skin and miss the soul”. Whereas, “The judicial key to construction is the composite perception of the deha and the dehi of the provision.” (Board of Mining Examination v. Ramjee (1977) 2 SCC 256, Para-9)”.”
While endorsing the detention of the petitioner, the Division Bench then puts it plainly in para 28 that, “Sub-Section 2 of Section 3 is very wide and as noticed above, deals with three eventualities (See: Para-23). “Explanation” to SubSection 2 deals with a small part of it. The intention of law makers in inserting the ‘explanation’ is to take out cases of blackmarketing from NSA Act to some extent, to the extent it is covered by the Black Marketing Act. ‘Explanation’, by no stretch of imagination can eclipse the entire main provision namely, Sub-Section 2 of Section 3. The plain and unambiguous language of Sub-Section 2 of Section 3 makes it clear that the Competent Authority/Govt. can pass order of detention if one of the eventuality out of said three is satisfied. In the instant case, the District Magistrate has taken a plausible view that ‘public order’ is being threatened by petitioner. Thus, we are unable to hold that order of detention is beyond the purview of Sub-Section 2 of Section 3 of NSA Act.” 
Quite remarkably, the Division Bench then hastens to add in para 29 that, “We will be failing in our duty if argument of Shri Maheshwari relating to “acting under dictate” is not taken into account. On the basis of certain social media posts of the Chief Minister of the State wherein he expressed his view that persons involved in black marketing of Remdesivir/drugs should be detained under NSA Act, it was argued that the detention order passed by the District Magistrate is in furtherance of said posts and amount to acting under dictate. We do not see any merit in this contention. The social media posts cannot be equated with an administrative order/instruction. It is not necessary that every social media post of a government functionary is seen/read out and followed in the administrative hierarchy. Had it been an executive instruction/order issued by higher functionary to act in a particular manner and in obedience thereof District Magistrate would have passed a detention order, perhaps the matter would have been different. Unless a clear nexus is established between the social media posts and the detention order, it cannot be said that District Magistrate has acted under dictate. Apart from this, the impugned order of District Magistrate has been examined by us on the necessary parameters and it was found that he has used his discretion in accordance with law and thus this argument of petitioner must fail.”
What’s more, the Bench then also makes it clear in para 30 that, “So far question of communication of detention order to the uncle of petitioner is concerned, suffice it to say that no prejudice was caused to the petitioner because of such communication. Indeed petitioner filed this petition and had taken legal recourse with quite promptitude. In absence of showing any prejudice, no interference on this count is warranted and judgments of A.K. Roy (supra) and Dr. Kafeel (supra) are of no help to the petitioner.”
While taking potshots at the petitioner’s tall claims of innocence, the Division Bench then minces no words to put forth in para 31 that, “The petitioner is unable to show any flaw in the decision making process adopted by District Magistrate. In absence of establishing any such illegality, no interference is warranted.” 
Finally, the Division Bench then holds in para 32 that, “Petition sans substance and is hereby dismissed.”
On the whole, this noteworthy judgment by a Division Bench of the Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court comprising of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Anil Verma have taken the blackmarketing of remedesivir drug most seriously and has demonstrated zero tolerance towards those who indulge in it as it directly impacts public order and those in need of it are compelled to buy the drug at exorbitant rates which is most inhumanly and cannot be condoned under any circumstances! We all know how Indore was among the worst affected city in India due to Covid-19 and so under such trying circumstances if there are such type of people who still tend to think only of themselves and their vested interests and hold others to ransom then they have to pay through their nose and suffer the consequences emanating from their condemnable acts! This notable judgment has done precisely that only!

Khadi Prakritik Paint, India's Only Paint Made From Cow Dung

Khadi Prakritik Paint, India’s Only Paint Made From Cow Dung 

Union minister Nitin Gadkari announced that he will be the brand ambassador of Khadi Prakritik Paint, which was launched on 12 Jan this year. The paint would be promoted throughout the country to urge young entrepreneurs to set up manufacturing units, said Gadkari.
He rejoiced “Even inaugurating infrastructure projects worth lakhs of crores of rupees is not as pleasing and satisfying as inaugurating this manufacturing unit”. 
Why This Innovation Is A Big Deal
Interior pollution in India has not been debated much. People are unaware of the dangers associated with paints. The paint generally used to decorate homes is made of toxic chemicals such as volatile organic compounds( VOCs), Pb(lead), toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate and glycol.
These toxic chemicals may cause both short term and long term health issues. Dizziness, headache and itchiness are the immediate effects of being exposed to these chemicals. Furthermore, some symptoms could be the same as virals or colds which could be difficult to differentiate.
As far as immediate sickness is concerned it could be treatable at the earliest. But years of exposure to these hazardous chemicals may lead to severe ailments like Cancer, respiratory disease and heart disease. According to reports, Painters or individuals who are exposed to VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) are more likely to suffer kidney damage.
Children are the most vulnerable to the pollutants as they have a higher metabolic rate(~ rate of oxygen consumption is higher than adults). As a result, they are more likely to get harmed by breathing in polluting air. 
Why it should be promoted
To aware citizens of indoor pollution and looking after their health. This paint is free from hefty metals like lead, mercury and chromium. Apart from this, the paint is cost-effective, antifungal and antibacterial
Undoubtedly, It will support the rural economy. Dairy farmers will make the most of farming. From selling milk to cow dung they can make more money. By promotion, more manufacturing units can be set up in rural areas, which would create sustainable local employment.
People should be aware of the quality or Hazards linked with any product out in the market.
Its far sensible to read the quality of the product than reading hospital bills

Excess Irrigation Over North India Shifting Monsoon Towards North West – report

Excess Irrigation Over North India Shifting Monsoon Towards North West

According to a report of climate researchers, heavy irrigation in north India could be the reason for shifting monsoon to the North West part of the subcontinent, increasing the land temperature in central India. These meteorological threats may lead to crop failure.

One of the chief causes of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea. As peddy irrigation in North India starts way before the monsoon, the irrigated land remains flooded with water during this time. As the water evaporates, land tends to cool during the period of August-September.

It’s known that air travels from a high-pressure zone to a low-pressure zone. (Gravity plays the role here)

Low pressure is associated with rising air and high pressure associated with sinking air. Thus, when the land is hotter than the sea, the pressure difference is created.

Air carrying water vapours from the high-pressure zone travels to the low-pressure zone resulting in rising air which is linked to cloud formation that causes rain.

Notwithstanding the previous pattern, the sinking air is unlikely to travel north due to cooling; rather it goes toward the northwest region which is hotter than North India.

These hazardous trends and shifting the monsoon could pose great threats not only to the farmers but also to the people living there. Excessive irrigation can lead to water scarcity that needs to be debated.

POST – TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

 

This kind of disorder arises when we are ­­­­­­­affected
by situations that cannot be accepted so easily associated or experienced or
witnessing of events in life. Those unforgettable moments always haunt us as
nightmares and memories making us to regret for a lifelong period.

It is not an easy task to make them vanish from our
life but feeling to overcome from it is a worse kind struggle between heart and
soul.

It reflects that one-fourth of the people gets
affected by this kind of deep emotion and as life goes by sacrifice those
hinderances and move on. The more affected gender falls on mostly women as they
are more emotional and trust worthy then men.

“IT’S NOT THE PERSON REFUSING TO LET GO OF THE PAST, BUT THE
PAST REFUSING TO GO OF THE PERSON”



It is clear that people at several ages have
experienced this disorder being in a state to console themselves, to come out
of it and to forget the certain thing happened.

This disorder is affected if the affected one unable
to move out of that trauma. About 10 percent have experienced this kind of
situation out of 100. But the worse part is the trauma became advanced for 2
percent which they were out of control without treatment.

 There are
different levels for this disorder where each level will affect our mental
ability badly and make us weaker. The stages of this effect will last till six
months until for life period of one person.

Reducing the pressure and engaging on with multiple
tasks at the same time makes us concentrate on the work to relieve us for some
time. “Unexpected
things happen but humans are a part of it to accept the fact of life”.

“Thing can’t be undone unless or until you come out of it”.



PRIME MINISTER WISHES THE DALAI LAMA ON HIS BIRTHDAY

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted on Tuesday that he called spiritual leader Dalai Lama on his 86th birthday. 

This comes only the second time in PM Modi’s tenure that he greeted the Dalai Lama. The previous and current ruling governments have generally cornered themselves to make any remark on the Tibetan Leader who has been living in exile in India since 1959. 

The sudden change in India’s stance comes during the ongoing border tension between India and China. Furthermore, Chinese communist party is celebrating 100 years of its formation.

To appease China, Indian leaders and bureaucrats stumbled in the past to interact with the Dalai Lama and whenever they did China made a strong protest.

In 2017, when the Dalai Lama paid a visit to  Arunachal Pradesh, China showed its aggression through the 73 days long Doklam standoff. 

Other cabinet ministers, Nitin Gadkari, Hardeep Singh Puri and several chief ministers including Arunachal Pradesh CM wished the Dalai Lama

The persevering struggle for 62 years in exile speaks volumes about the spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetans living around the world

SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH

                                                   

                              

In these modern days about half of the population of
any country is addicted to smoking the worst part in it is even youngsters
including girls are dependent on these cigars. 

These cigarettes play a vital
role when their emotions are to be expressed more aggressively. Certain people
use them as a stress buster as a result slowly it becomes an addiction to the
core so which it can’t be forgot or avoided just like that. 

People are unable
to accept the fact that smoking is not a reason for cancer it is the cause for
it. It is a slow poison which affects each and every precious organ in our body
finally causing fatality. A healthy person will lose his period of lifetime so
quickly if he becomes a smoker.

 The vapors from these cigars not only affects
but also people surrounding us. Chain-smokers rate of deaths are increasing day
by day. If a person smokes 16-25 cigarettes per day Type 2 Diabetes are much
eager to affect you. 

In a health study conducted by US recently, proves that
nearly 50-60% people are at risk of developing diabetes. Firstly, it decreases
the oxygen level in the lungs leading to heart problems followed by storage of
unwanted impurities in our body finally increases the glucose and pressure in
the blood.

 

In fact, the studies of researchers prove that it
after our genetic structure (DNA) and causes defects in their genes and for
their children. “Keep the key of your life in your hands don’t give it to
tobacco”, All the adults
relish it very much, they don’t know how harmful it is. 

Cigarette
smoking is one of the major killers in the world. The biggest side effect from
smoking is cancer. Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All forms of
cancer involve out-of-control growth and spread of abnormal cells. 

The risk of dying from lung cancer is 22 times
higher for males, and 12 times higher for female smokers as oppose to non
-smokers.” The smoker’s life is always in tobacco’s hand”.  Additionally, smokers are at an increased risk
for cancer of the larynx, oral cavity, oesophagus, bladder, kidney and
pancreas. 



There is a boom in the popularity of smoking cigars. The health
risks of cigar smoking are, again, ignored in this effort of making cigars look
‘cool’ or better than cigarettes’. 

But cigar smoking also increases the risk of
several cancers, including cancer of the oral cavity (lip, tongue, mouth,
throat), oesophagus, larynx, and lung. Cigar smoking may be linked to the
cancer of the pancreas as well. Daily cigar smoking, especially for people who
inhale, also increases the risk of heart disease and a type of lung disease
known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. 

When a cigarette
is smoked, about one-half of the smoke generated is side stream smoke that
comes from the burning cigarette between puffs. This side stream smoke contains
many of the same carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and toxic agents that have been
identified in the main smoke inhaled by the smoker. 

“AS CIGAR TURNS INTO
ASHES LIFE ALSO TURNED INTO ASHES” –                  SEVERINA DSOUZA

A product that
increases its brand by using people’s life to survive is a very horrible way to
think. 

Inspite of knowing the causes people hesitate to sacrifice to for a
healthy and disease-free surrounding. It is especially harmful for children, and
senior citizens or pets, even if the smoking isn’t done near them. 

I recommend
smokers to think and act wisely before you lose some precious ones or yourself
for this silly tobacco. We can avoid them by using tablets, chewing gums and
engaging yourself in other works which will help us improve from the idea of smoking
and gives relief. 



Teenagers should be monitored carefully and support from
parents will help them a lot to overcome this habit. Elders can motivate them
in a positive way and create awareness among them so they regret if they even
think about it again. I advise people to help yourself and live happily instead
of losing your life for an unworthy thing or object.

 

 


What are Differences between Copywriting vs. content writing

Copywriting vs. content writing—it’s all the same, right?

No, they are most definitely not the same. It’s not exactly the difference between apples and oranges—more like oranges and tangerines—but close enough. For young writers looking for work, it’s incredibly important to know the differences between the two; each presents a unique set of challenges and skills to do well. Here, we pinpoint the major differences between copywriting and content writing.

Purpose

The greatest distinction between copywriting and content writing lies in its purpose. Copywriting is selling your personas on your brand; content writing is subtly telling them about it while delivering valuable content.

Copywriting is the art of selling people on an idea, brand, or ideology. The best copywriting fuses the products and ideology of a brand together to create branding. Copywriting is advertorial in nature as its intent is to pitch customers to use a brand’s products and/or services.

For the Mad Men fans out there, this is what Don Draper and Peggy Olson did all the time at Sterling Cooper (or whatever agency they were with at the time). They weren’t selling products, but ideas and emotions that were tied to products.

Content writing is the art of creating content. It needs to either inform, educate or entertain; it needs to have a clear purpose and/or reason behind the piece; it needs to represent the brand’s voice; it needs to be a good read. The best content writing is focused on the quality of the editorial, no matter if it comes from a brand or a publisher. For brands (and some data-driven publishers), content writing aligns with strategic business and marketing goals to attract audiences and potential customers.

Here’s one way to look at the two: content writing passes information along to your audience while copywriting reveals what your brand is all about.

The two, of course, do share similarities. For one thing: goals. Both copywriting and content writing ultimately seek to convert a reader into a sale or a lead. Another similarity: they both need to be well-written. What is well-written for one differs from the other, but quality writing, for whatever purposes, entices readers to keep reading.

Bottom line: The ultimate objective of copywriting is to sell an idea whereas content writing aims to create valuable content to help the audience understand your brand and generate interest.

The job

A truism: copywriters write copy and content writers write content. If you’re confused at what this means, then you should know all shall be explained. Another distinction between copywriting and content writing lies in the job description.

A copywriter is a professional whose job is dedicated to producing copy. This can come in many forms (see below), but the general idea is that a copywriter writes marketing material for a living. It is their trade, craft, skill—whatever you want to call it.

Now, a content writer can be anyone. They are not necessarily a professional writer, but someone who produces content. Thanks to the democratization of the internet, anyone can write now, including professionals, executives, authors, bloggers, software engineers, CEOs, brands, etc. Of course, the best content writers understand the craft of content writing, but it may not be their trade.

Bottom line: A copywriter is a professional who writes marketing copy; a content writer can be anyone producing content.

Types of writing

A copywriter writes marketing material, a content writer writes content—but what kinds of marketing material and content? This is the last major distinction between the two.

Traditionally, copywriting was limited to advertising in the days of yester-yore (again, see Mad Men). But the internet changed the scope of what copywriters can write for beyond witty slogans. Today, the list includes, but is not limited to:

  • Ads, online and off
  • Slogans and taglines
  • Web page content
  • SEO content
  • Email campaigns
  • Television or radio commercial scripts
  • Video scripts
  • Press releases
  • White papers
  • Catalogs
  • Billboards
  • Brochures
  • Postcards
  • Sales letters
  • Direct mail letters
  • Jingle lyrics
  • Social media

Copywriters today see plenty of overlap with content writers and technical writers, but remember: the point is to sell you an idea as part of a marketing campaign.

Likewise, content writing has plenty of opportunities to write different kinds of content, including, but not limited to:

  • Blog posts
  • Newspaper articles
  • Magazine features
  • Whitepapers
  • Email newsletters
  • E-books
  • Books
  • Print magazines
  • Social media posts
  • Podcasts
  • Television
  • Film
  • Radio

Yep—even TV and film is considered content these days, just a different kind (but that’s another story).

What you really need to know is that brands of all kinds need copywriting and content writing to stay fresh, so there’s plenty of opportunities for writers out there to try their hands at both. It’s just a matter of seeing which one you have a knack for and sticking with that one.

Digital marketing has became necessary

Take a risk and keep testing, because what works today won’t work tomorrow, but what worked yesterday may work again.”- Amrita Sahasrabudhe.

Digital marketing is a canopy for marketing. It is all about marketing Products and services through digital technologies, overall the Internet, digital marketing involves all marketing weapon that requires an electronic device or the internet.

When small businesses get started, their focus is often on how to get their first group of customers through the door. They may rely on traditional forms of advertising, such as print ads and coupon mailers or even big signs on the side of the road. They may trust that since they know they offer a good product or service, it’s only a matter of time until customers will find their
way to them.

This decade 2021, in just a three month whole world is facing new pandemic (covid19). As per government order we have to maintain social distancing and isolation. Every social gathering is
canceled. Small business or any other company can take this situation as an opportunity. As everyone will be in there houses all they gonna do there is watch TV, laptop or stick to there phone. This will be best opportunity to show cast there product or company.

Nower day people tend to believe in digital marketing then the traditional one. It’s an psychology of people if their favorite or popular celebrity do promote the particular product they will bye it then the unknown face doing the same ad. They qualities of advertisement also plays an important role on consumers mind. ” popular the celebrity is the more costumer they will attract”.

The group of potential customers that are found online is a much larger group of people than you are likely to be able to attract locally. Using digital marketing, you can reach an enormous audience in a way that is both cost-effective and measurable.

41% of U.S. buyers search and buy on Amazon while 28% search on Google then buy on Amazon, so small business SEO is still crucial . 3.2 billion people or 42% of the world population uses social media today (Emersys, 2019). Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn are the market leaders. LinkedIn offers 80% of social media B2B leads, for example. On average, these people spend 2 hours and 22 minutes on social media networks per day, 80% of the time is on mobile.

Mahadevi Varma


In the 1920s, a time when few Indian girls could dream of finishing school and being anything other than housewives and mothers, one-woman name Mahadevi Varma discovered a love of writing and went on to become one of the key figures in a new era of Hindi poetry.

Mahadevi Varma best known as an outstanding Hindi poet, was a freedom fighter, woman’s activist and educationist from India. She is widely regarded as the “modern Meera”. She was a major poet of the Chhayavaad generation, a period of romanticism in Modern Hindi poetry ranging from 1914- 1938. With passage of time, her limited but outstanding prose has been recognised as unique in Hindi Literature. She was a prominent poet in Hindi Kavi sammelans (Gatherings of poets).


She was the Principal, and then the Vice Chancellor of Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth, a woman’s residential college in Allahabad. She was awarded India’s highest literary award, for lifetime achievement, the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship in 1979, followed by the Jnanpith Award in 1982. She was the recipient of the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award, in 1988.


Mahadevi Varma was deeply affected by Buddhism and also contributed to the Indian freedom movement. She even tried to become a Buddhist bhikshuni. Mahadevi was appointed as the first headmistress of Allahabad (Prayag) Mahila Vidyapeeth, which was started with a view to imparting cultural and literary education to girls through Hindi medium.

Later, she became the chancellor of the institute. Mahadevi is considered to be one of the four major poets of the Chhayavaadi school of the Hindi literature, others being Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala’, Jaishankar Prasad and Sumitranandan Pant. She was also a noted painter. She drew a number of illustrations for her poetic works like Hindi and Yama.


Many of her books are included in the syllabus for school children by CBSE. A few of these are; Neelkanth, which is about her experience with a peacock; Gaura, a story about a beautiful cow; Mere Bachpan Ke Din and Gillu, about her childhood memories; and also her poem Madhur Madhur Mere Deepak Jal. Mahadevi Varma studied the compositions of devout poets like Meera, Sur and Tulsi from childhood. This is the reason that these poets became his source of inspiration. Following are the major compositions of Mahadevi Varma – ‘Neehar’, ‘Neerja’, ‘Sandhyagit’, ‘Deepshikha’, ‘Yama’, ‘Movies of the past’, ‘Lines of Smriti’, ‘Links of series’ etc.
Mahadevi Verma received several awards for her poems which had a language that was original and lyrical, at the same time having profound meaning. She was able to paint a picture that was both colourful as well as had depths of philosophy in it.

If Goa has a common civil code, why can’t the whole territory have it?

Since 1965, the state of Goa has a common civil code, which is applicable to all the citizens including the members of different caste, religion or community. Such a question is expected to arise. Even minor girls are victimized by the act of Polygamy and Nikah halala and certain marriage contracts. The country urgently needs a common law to be implemented in the whole Nation. All the developed countries have implemented a common law for the whole territory. It is necessary to implement best practices of all religions and communities for the best development. It is a pertinent fact that Goa has gotten rid of all the inequalities by establishment of a uniform civil code. Until the code is established, the terms like gender equality and gender justice will only exist in papers and words. The right of equality, rights against discrimination and right to life and libertyguaranteed under various Articlescannot be achieved until the implementation of a common law. Therefore, the same code may be amended and adopted as a Common Civil Code throughout the region of India. Also, the Constitution makers poured their mind and soul in the making the laws . They had outlooked for thesecurity and safety of the nation setting forth the socialist secular principles, which created hopes and aspirations of the people. Therefore, it is the duty of the Government to implement the Uniform Civil Code.

Is it a tyranny over the minority community?

The allies object the concept of UCC stating that it is tyranny over the other communities. The statement is completely denied by Ld. Mushi as this: ” Nowhere in the Muslim countries the personal law of each minority has been considered in order to prevent the implementation of the common civil code. For instance in Turkey Or Egypt, no minority has a separate law and are not permitted to practice their own laws. The khojas and Cutchi Memons were highly dissatisfied by the Sharia Law. They followed the Hindu customs since they had become converts, they didn’t want to agree to the Central Legislature where Muslim members  existed who felt Sharia was aneed.

They had to forcefully agree to the central government. In a community to consider the benefits one may acrcue to a common law. The only attempt is to separate the religions from the common legislature of a country.” The religion has nothing to do with the laws of a country  where several communities live. Religions must be restricted to the spheres, which legitimately relate to the religion. The rest of the life must be regulated in a way that the nation evolves as early as possible. The first factor to recreate is the national unity.

“We are not merely a nation because we say so, but also in effect, by the way we live,  by our personal law, we are strong and consolidated nation. ” The implementation will not be a tyranny over the minors but not implementing it would be much more tyrannous to the majority community.

What is Uniform Civil Code?

See the source image

Article 44 directs the state to secure a uniform civil code for the citizens applicable throughout the territory of India. Its main motive is to establish gender justice in India. Even though the state has not shown any efforts towards the enactment of uniform civil code but the judiciary considers it essential to lookout the necessity of the code in the country so as to establish gender justice. Also, the uniformity in the application of laws such as marriage laws, divorce and maintenance laws, etc.    

Article 44 states that, “The state shall endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the India.” 

The above article was looked upon by the historical judgment in Sarla Mudgal vs. Union of India[1]. The Court had directed the government through the Secretary of Ministry Law and Justice, to file an affidavit, and issue a Uniform Civil Law. There had been many cases witnessed that involved such incidents. In the cases, the husband of the plaintiff had converted his religion to Islam and married another woman. The problems were not confined to this but had a large scope, for instance in a case the man had married to a Muslim woman and later left her and converted to Hinduism again. By this, the grievance of the woman was that she could not claim and ask for any protection under the Muslim law as she continued to be a Muslim.  In another case, the petitioner was threatened by her husband that he would embrace Islam and marry another woman.  She had asked for a restraining order by the court for preventing her husband to marry another woman.

On the facts, the court held that a Hindu marriage continues to exist even after conversion to Islam. And the husband as declared by the court under the section 494 of IPC will be held liable under the practice of bigamy.

Uniform Civil Code seeks to replace personal laws that were based on the scriptures and holy books and customs of each specific religion and community in India by a common set of rules and law. As discussed before, the list of marriage, divorce and the maintenance comes under the list.

Recently, the Supreme Court considering the judgments held that:

  1. The constitution in Article 44 requires the state to enact the common civil code throughout the but till date no action has been taken in this regard.
  2. The Hindu personal laws have been modified but there has been no attempt to frame a uniform civil code for the citizens of the country.  
  3. Even after the conclusions made and the judgments delivered in the case of Shah Bane in 1985[2], there has nothing been done to enact a common law for all.
  4. The Supreme Court has enshrined the state of Goa as a ‘Shining Example’ where Uniform Civil Code has been implemented for every religion while protecting certain limited rights.

“Goa as a shining example”

Goa has a common civil code for all which follows the Portuguese civil code 1867.  It includes certain provisions:

  1. A Muslim man residing in the state of Goa who has registered marriage in the state cannot practice polygamy.
  2. If a married couple share property equally, in a pre-nuptial order the assets are divided equally between man and woman on divorce.

Personal laws

The laws that are applicabe to a certain class or group of people based on their religion, faith and culture are the personal laws. In a country like India, there are many religions and the people belong to different castes, having their own faith and belief. The set of laws prescribed for their religion is based on their belief. These laws were made considering the customs followed by the people and their religion. In India, people follow these laws since colonial period. Earlier the British had implemented these laws as they were a foreign Nation and it was an approach to prevent any kind of protests that they could have faced by imposing a common civil code for all.

The main subjects of personal law were marriage, divorce and maintenance. The Hindu law, initially had a lot of discrimination towards the women. But later, with the actions and voices raised against, they were largely modified and secularized by the statutory enactments. It was codified by the parliament in 1956 . It was applicable to Sikhs, Jains and the Buddhists too. The Hindu code bill has been split in four parts:

  1.  The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
  2. The Hindu Succession Act, 1956
  3. The Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956
  4. The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956

The Muslim personal laws are unmodified and has a traditional approach in their content and laws. They have not been changed considering the opposition. The Muslim laws are governed by the Shariah Law of 1937. There hasn’t been much change in those laws. There are only some enactments till the date. The law clearly states that in the matters of personal disputes, the state shall not interfere and a religious authority would pass a declaration on the basis of interpretation of the Quran and the Hadith.

The Christian and Jews apart from these have their own personal laws.

Are the personal laws Fault-less?

The Supreme Court has recently declared the act  triple-talaaq as illegal which is a big step towards the gender equality and has raised a question on religion-based personal laws in the country.

Thirty-two years ago Shahnaaz Shaikh filed a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the triple talaq provisions as she was given divorce by her husband at midnight, which acquired attention. The petition stated that Sharia law had given unequal rights to the Muslim women by imposing purdah, also allowing polygamy and the unilateral divorce and depriving the divorced Muslim women of maintenance rights.

The women activists had soon discovered that this kind of discrimination existed for all the personal laws,and all the religions. For instance, the hindu daughters were also deprived of the property rights. They were not entitled to their patriarchal property. After Lata Mittal filed a case in 1985 and won a 20-year legal battle in the Supreme Court was only that Hindu daughters were provided equal rights in the ancestral property.

Similarly, the Christian women were not allowed to divorce their husbands on the claim of adultery committed by their husbands. But on the other hand the Christian men could simply pronounce their wives as adulteress and issue a divorce. It was only a few years ago that the proposal to amend the Christian divorce act, 1869 was accepted.
