Anomaly in Selection of Teachers in West Bengal: Salute to Judiciary

Teaching profession is the noblest profession as a good teacher can create and guide a student by inculcating with value and character. Andin this regard I wish to mention two sayings of our former President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam sahab which I like very much as I was in teaching/academic activities after completing University education. “Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher that will be the biggest honor for me”. And another one, “Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect”. When I read about corruption in educational institutes/academic organisations I feel sad. From ancient times onward in this sub-continent, Gurukul school concept was introduced “A gurukul is a traditional school in India with students (shishya) living near their guru, often in the same dwelling, as a sort of family”.

Anyway recent irregularities and anomalies, for recruiting teachers in West Bengal is a news and thousands and thousands persons suffered. The level of irregularities and anomalies were high as sequel many have approached the Calcutta High Court. For the benefit of readers I wish to mention that the High court is the oldest High Court in India. It was established on 1st July, 1862 under the High Court’s Act, 1861. The Calcutta High court on 11thDecember 2020 (Friday) quashed recruitment of teachers in around 15,000 vacant posts in upper primary schools. Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya directed the School Service Commission to start the recruitment process afresh by adhering the guidelines of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). According this, candidates with a B.Ed. degree should get first preference. In case of selection, it was reported that because of some reasons less qualified candidates were selected whereas many B.Ed. candidates were ignored. According to the directives, the Commission should start the process on 4th January 2021. The verification of candidates and preparation of merit list should be completed by 31st May 2021, and the recruitment process should be complete by 14th August 2021. It may be mentioned here that the National Council for Teacher Education, which regulates teacher education in India, in 2009 made the B.Ed. or an equivalent degree compulsory for applying in teaching jobs at primary and upper primary schools. It is unfortunate that thousands of youths suffered because of anomalies created by the State Government. Let me go back to the initial phase. The process for recruiting teachers in upper primary schools was initiated in 2014 and ultimately on 16th October, 2015, the exam, for selecting candidates in the 14,740 vacant teaching posts, was conducted. And based on this, on 1st October 2019, the Department had prepared a merit list of around 26,000 persons. Immediately, after the publication of the list, so called ‘merit list’, a large number of candidates moved to Calcutta High court alleging that even though they had a B.Ed. degree, their names did not figure in the list while less qualified candidates had been selected. Here it is pertinent to mention that, advocate Firdaus Shamim, the lawyer for the petitioner candidates, after the judgement mentioned, “This prompted my clients to move the High court.” Advocate Shamim also said, “Discrepancies have been found in the list”. Also one Leftist leader said after the judgement, “the level of corruption was unprecedented”.

I as senior citizen suggest no state Governments should indulge any sort of corruption particularly for requirements etc., as lives of innocent youths are involved here. In this case of West Bengal, five years are over for the youths who were selected in 2015. Again a new process has been initiated albeit the fates of youths, who were earlier selected, are uncertain. Anyway, salute to the Judiciary, our Third Pillar of Democracy, as an anomaly has been thrown away.

Termination Of Female Foeticide Is Destruction Of Woman Of Future

We all keep hearing the old adages like “Where woman is worshipped, God resides there” and “When you educate a man you educate an individual but when you educate a woman you educate the entire family” so on. But in actual practice we see the stark truth as to how woman has to face discrimination even before she is born. Many parents resort to prenatal sex determination and prefer to abort child if the child is a female. How on earth can this be justified?

How can it be lightly dismissed that none other than the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Hassan Mohd vs State of Haryana in CRM-M-34797 of 2020 delivered on October 30, 2020 has expressed its serious concern and fulminating anger over the reprehensible and retrograde practice of prenatal sex determination? It minced no words to say unequivocally that, “Considering the disdainful attitude of the society to a female child and use of diagnostic equipment for female foeticide Act was enacted to curb the pre-natal sex determination. Despite the specific legislation the menace of sex-based destruction of foetus continues to plague the society.” How can this be just glossed over?

To start with, the ball is set rolling by Justice Avneesh Jhingan of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the opening para by first and foremost observing that, “The matter is taken up for hearing through video conference due to COVID-19 situation.” It is then observed in the next para that, “The petition is filed seeking anticipatory bail in FIR No. 226 dated 29.9.2020, under Sections 353, 186, 420 IPC and Sections 4, 5, 6, 23 and 29 of the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994 (for short, \’the Act\’).”

While elaborating on the facts of the case, it is then envisaged that, “The facts in brief are that the police received a secret information about the illegal activities being carried out under the Act. A team of doctors was associated for raiding the location. A decoy customer was deployed to get an ultra sound done, for determining sex of foetus. Payment was made through marked currency notes. The petitioner dramatised conducting of ultra sound of decoy customer and played a prerecorded video on the LCD to show that ultra sound was being conducted. In the raid, LCD and the equipment for playing videos along with marked currency notes were seized.”

On the one hand, it is pointed out that, “Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there was not even a single complaint by any one. Moreover as no ultra sound machine was recovered from the premises, the provisions of the Act will not apply.”

On the other hand, it is then pointed out that, “Learned counsel for the State opposes the grant of anticipatory bail and submits that custodial interrogation is necessary as number of people have been defrauded. He further submits that the allegations are serious, there is recovery of marked currency and the equipment being projected to the customers as ultra sound machine.”

Most significantly, what forms the cornerstone of this latest, landmark and laudable judgment is then stated without mincing any words as “Determination of sex of the foetus is a malaise which is affecting the society day in and day out. The desire to have a male child is an open secret. It has affected the gender ratio of the society. Considering disdainful attitude of the society to female child and use of diagnostic equipment for female foeticide Act was enacted to curb the pre-natal sex determination. Despite the specific legislation the menace of sex based destruction of foetus continues to plague the society. It is classic case of misuse of gift of development of technology. The Constitution guarantees equality to genders but pre natal sex determination deprives a female foetus to come to this world. In a civilized society, the sex of foetus cannot be a determining factor for having lease of life to see this world, if permitted the consequences would be devastating, the civilization itself would be endangered. To put in other words termination of female foeticide is destruction of woman of future. There cannot be a dispute on the fact that female has multi-facet role in society.”

No less significant is what is then stated that, “The Supreme Court in Voluntary Health Association of Punjab v. Union of India and others, 2016 (10) JT 570 held: “Before parting with the case, let it be stated with certitude and without allowing any room for any kind of equivocation or ambiguity, the perception of any individual or group or organization or system treating a woman with inequity, indignity, inequality or any kind of discrimination is constitutionally impermissible. The historical perception has to be given a prompt burial. Female foeticide is conceived by the society that definitely includes the parents because of unethical perception of life and nonchalant attitude towards law. The society that treats man and woman with equal dignity shows the reflections of a progressive and civilized society. To think that a woman should think what a man or a society wants her to think is tantamounts to slaughtering her choice, and definitely a humiliating act. When freedom of free choice is allowed within constitutional and statutory parameters, others cannot determine the norms as that would amount to acting in derogation of law. Decrease in the sex ratio is a sign of colossal calamity and it cannot be allowed to happen. Concrete steps have to be taken to increase the same so that invited social disasters do not befall on the society. The present generation is expected to be responsible to the posterity and not to take such steps to sterilize the birth rate in violation of law. The societal perception has to be metamorphosed having respect to legal postulates.”

While pooh-poohing the petitioner’s contention, it is then held that, “The contention of the petitioner that there was no complaint against him holds no water. The person who is in active participation against an enactment, in other words is a party to the illegal act, is not expected to come forward to make a police complaint. The persons who were being fleeced probably would not be aware that in the name of determination of sex they were shown pre-recorded video.”

Moving on, it is then also made clear that, “The next contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that the provisions of the Act will not apply as no ultra sound was conducted does not enhance the case of the petitioner. The fact remains that the assurance given and the picture projected was that her ultra sound is being carried out. Even of decoy customer, the ultra sound gel was applied, the probe was put on her abdomen and thereafter video recording was played on the LCD.”

To say the least, it is then observed that, “In the present case, albeit the petitioner was not conducting an ultra sound yet he had to give result of sex determination as he was charging for the same, his conduct would determine the fate of the foetus.”

Be it noted, it is then disclosed that, “At this stage, it would be relevant to quote Section 5 and 6 of the Act:

5. Written consent of pregnant woman and prohibition of communicating the sex of foetus.

(1) No person referred to in clause (2) of section 3 shall conduct the pre-natal diagnostic procedures unless-

(a) he has explained all known side and after effects of such procedures to the pregnant woman concerned;

(b) he has obtained in the prescribed form her written consent to undergo such procedures in the language which she understands; and

(2) No person including the person conducting pre-natal diagnostic procedures shall communicate to the pregnant woman concerned or her relatives or any other person the sex of the foetus by words, signs, or in any other manner.

6. Determination of sex prohibited. -On and from the commencement of this Act,–

(a) no Genetic Counselling Centre or Genetic Laboratory or Genetic Clinic shall conduct or cause to be conducted in its Centre, Laboratory or Clinic, pre-natal diagnostic techniques including ultrasonography, for the purpose of determining the sex of a foetus;

(b) no person shall conduct or cause to be conducted any prenatal diagnostic techniques including ultrasonography for the purpose of determining the sex of a foetus;

Moving on, it is then observed that, “As per Section 5 (1), no pre-natal diagnostic procedure shall be carried without explaining the side effects to pregnant lady and without obtaining her consent. Section 5 (2) states that the sex of the foetus shall not be communicated to the pregnant woman or her relatives or any other person by words, signs or in any other manner. Section 6 prohibits various centres to use the diagnostic techniques for determining the sex of the foetus.”

Finally, it is then held that, “At the stage of grant of anticipatory bail, a prima facie case is to be seen and the matter is not to be decided finally. Considering the nature of allegations and the evidence collected, no case is made out for grant of anticipatory bail. The petition is dismissed.”

For the sake of clarification, it is then stated that, “It is clarified that observations made hereinabove are only for deciding the anticipatory bail.”

To conclude, the sum and substance of this latest, landmark and laudable judgment is that the termination of female foeticide is destruction of woman of future. At the cost of repetition, it must be again said that, “Determination of sex of the foetus is a malaise which is affecting the society day in and day out. The desire to have a male child is an open secret. It has affected the gender ratio of the society. Considering disdainful attitude of the society to female child and use of diagnostic equipment for female foeticide Act was enacted to curb the pre-natal sex determination. Despite the specific legislation the menace of sex based destruction of foetus continues to plague the society. It is classic case of misuse of gift of development of technology. The Constitution guarantees equality to genders but pre natal sex determination deprives a female foetus to come to this world. In a civilized society, the sex of foetus cannot be a determining factor for having lease of life to see this world, if permitted the consequences would be devastating, the civilization itself would be endangered. To put in other words termination of female foeticide is destruction of woman of future. There cannot be a dispute on the fact that female has multi-facet role in society.” Why then should female foeticide be tolerated? Why should there not be the most strictest punishment for female foeticide? Why can’t the laws be amended to ensure the same? What is needed is just a strong political will. But just enacting strict laws alone is not enough. Implementing them with alacrity and without any discrimination will ensure that it serves the purpose for which it is enacted! There can be no denying it!

From the Kite Runner to Bombshell, a journey of reviews

The Kite Runner:

The Kite Runner, a fiction novel by Khaled Hosseini, depicts the kindly love between a well off Pushtun kid, Amir, and his Hazara hireling, Hassan, during the barbarous war among Afghanistan and Russia. Amir and Hassan grow up together simply like genuine siblings. The racial boundary between Pushtuns, who are an unrivaled race, and Hazaras, who are regularly seen as sub-par slaves, doesn’t thwart Amir and Hassan from framing a solid sibling bond. Their relationship is past one of an ace and a hireling; past two colleagues. They are two spirits bond firmly by affection, kinship, and dependability. Nonetheless, much the same as the short smoothness before a tempest, a treachery in a dim rear entryway loosens up the once-unbreakable bond among Amir and Hassan. Their relationship is additionally broken by more forfeits, tears, and lies.

The principle character of the book, Amir, is credible on the grounds that he is balanced, demonstrating both agreeableness and weakness in his relationship with Hassan. Most Pushtun aces aren’t near their Hazara workers and some treat them ineffectively. Be that as it may, Amir, dissimilar to the vast majority of different young men who mortifies the Hazaras, treats Hassan well and builds up a solid friendship with Hassan. In spite of his kind disposition towards Hassan, notwithstanding, Amir additionally shows weakness since he never goes to bat for Hassan nor gives him help when Hassan faces difficulties. Then again, Hassan is a level character, demonstrating just two characteristics all through the book – thought and steadfastness. Hassan consistently aides and takes great consideration of Amir. He additionally remains respectful to his lord in spite of any conditions. Hassan realizes that Amir have double-crossed him, once, yet twice, yet he despite everything treats Amir well and remains faithful to his cherished ace.

I think this book is truly fascinating, or you can say it is near being overpowering, in light of the fact that you can never anticipate what will occur straightaway. Perusing The Kite Runner resembles cruising a yacht in a substantial fog: you can never observe through the hazy thickness yet your pontoon is moving at a fast. So before you understood, you catch “reefs”, or surprising occasions which the perusers will never anticipate. These “reef” occasions consistently give a solid impression about the book’s plot. They additionally give solid inspiration to me to continue turning those pages.

Bombshell: The achievement and embarrassment of Fox News is anything but a new story, yet given reality from the 2016 lewd behavior episodes that tormented the system, the theme is presently grub for a few books, a TV arrangement, and now the big screen.

“Sensation”, which hit theaters this week, recounts to the story from the point of view of three ladies who were vital to outrage – stays Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, and a youthful and hopeful female news maker.

Having quite recently wrapped a couple of evenings of marathon watching “The Loudest Voice in the Room”, a Showtime arrangement dependent on the 2014 smash hit history about Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes, I was very much educated regarding Ailes’ unpredictable residency in charge of the system. Be that as it may, the arrangement rotated more around Ailes than the casualties of his times of his lewd behavior.

“Stunner” adopts an alternate strategy, following a direct storyline concentrating on the encounters of Kelly (in an astounding exhibition by Charlize Theron), Carlson (played by Nicole Kidman) and the youthful maker (played by Margot Robbie).

The movie opens with Kelly, who talking straightforwardly to the crowd, gives a voyage through the Fox News Channel realm, acquaints us with Ailes (played by John Lithgow), and makes way for the remainder of the film.

Improving Writing Skills through Project-Based Learning

Writing is one of the keys to effective communication. However, we often discover that students face difficulties in organizing their thoughts, conceptualizing ideas, and starting out essays. For most students, writing can be a nightmare that usually causes academic frustrations and mental anxieties.

David Anderson, an author at IHateWritingEssays review blog, says it is important for the key players in the academic world to provide a conducive learning environment that would help students to embrace essay writing not as a boring task they hate but as a stimulating activity that fosters imagination, self-expression, and creativity. In order to achieve this, teachers must be open to using active means of learning that would ignite the fire of critical thinking and passionate writing among students.

Project-based learning can help improve the writing skills of students through the following ways:

Finding the purpose and motivation to write

Most writing assignments are usually given without any prior explanation or conceptual discovery. Teachers or professors could easily instruct their students to write about a particular topic and submit the output on a certain day. This passive and traditional method can be very harmful to students who are not that naturally inclined to writing.

To correct this, project-based learning can be implemented during the distribution of writing tasks. The class can initially be introduced to a topic of interest through group discussion, film screening, or community immersion. This would build the foundation for a better understanding of the topic.

If the topic is about animal welfare, then students can be brought to an animal shelter where they could see the plight of the abused creatures. They could also interview animal rights advocates and adopt the same cause as well. This would help the students form a more compelling thesis statement and also give them a stronger motivation for writing. A purposeful writing can result in an immeasurable effectiveness in terms of developing their arguments.

Discovering other perspectives through collaboration

Writing may be a means of self-expression, but it can also be a way for students to improve their own outputs by incorporating the viewpoints of their team. Since project-based learning basically promotes collaboration and teamwork, then students can capitalize on such experience to reflect on their own writing style. They can also use the input from group discussions to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their own arguments.

Becoming open to the opinion of other people and accepting certain points for revision can help students enhance their writing potentials. Effective writers must be humble enough to accept constructive criticisms in order to improve their output.

Expanding the depth of arguments through research

Most writing assignments that are given in relation to projects require the application of ideas in real life situations. Because of this, they are exposed to different research methods that are not limited to reading textbooks and articles that are related to the given topic. In order to come up with more compelling stories and reflective discussions, then students are encouraged to combine different frameworks in the conduct of research.

Writing tasks that are given under project-based learning methods have meaningful purposes in contrast to superficial assignments in traditional settings. When students understand that their writing can potentially address certain issues or solve societal problems, then they are more willing to exert further effort in crafting persuasive essays, informative articles, or any other writing output.

Infusing their own personality and expressing their own voice in writing

Project-based learning methods result in the discovery of a student’s opinion on a particular matter. Writing without passion necessarily results in boring and ineffectual articles or reports.

When students are allowed to formulate their own inquiry regarding a particular topic, they are given a chance to follow their own methods and thereby create more personal views on the matter. Incorporating their own personality and voice could be very effective in developing their own writing style. There is no need to be limited by rigorous guidelines, thus they could enhance the output by being more imaginative, creative, and reflective in writing.

Project-based learning promotes the improvement of writing skills among students of different levels. By creating changes in the educational system and becoming more open to such learning styles, then we could expect to see better writers in the future.

Born Standing Up: A Comic’s Life (by Steve Martin)

You open a newspaper, swipe through the pages and come across the section of reviews, your eyes meet the headline and this time the genre is different, it is comedy. To critique comedy is a task itself as comedy is subjective. What might be hilarious for me, might be a light laugh or maybe nothing at all to you. It sometimes also arrives at the expense of other people’s struggles etc. A review is basically a literary critique where the book that is being reviewed is analysed and the opinion of the writer is written on the basis of style, content and merit. It can also be considered description of the book and an evaluation of the significance and meaning too. Sometimes a the reviewer also comments on the past books of the writers and his general way of writing and presenting.

Mr. Martin portrays “Born Standing Up” as a memoir as opposed to a life account, “because I am writing about someone I used to know.” He need not indicate that he has gone through years dismembering that tragically deceased somebody since this book is written in the directly from-the-love seat voice of an obedient analysis and that doesn’t make Mr. Martin near-sighted or dull; it basically gives him more than the typical level of knowledge into why his comical inclination advanced the way that it did. Indeed, he had a dad who told a paper that “Saturday Night Live” (a long-running American TV show which Mr. Martin has hosted several times) was the most noticeably terrible thing on TV and whose own defeated desire as an entertainer prompted stone-confronted dissatisfaction with his child’s prosperity. Yet, the more youthful Mr. Martin is keener on picking up understanding than in doling out retributions.

“Born Standing Up” is a firmly engaged book, keeping its accentuation to the manners which were created by his mind and his own life during the early stages of his life. It is delineated with photos that show Mr. Martin getting a handle on for a strong physical style. One of the book’s most amusing contacts is an image of him in full radical Navajo formal attire, with a basic inscription: “No comment.”

In any event, for pursuers effectively acquainted with Mr. Martin’s grave side, “Born Standing Up” is an astonishing book: keen, genuine, sincere and a confessional booth, without being sentimental. Decades after retiring from his Stand-Up Comedy career, he glances back at a time of development and advancement, wondering about the idea that his endeavours may have driven totally no place in the event that they had not uncontrollably succeeded, and he would have also failed if some endeavours had not failed. While there is a lot to approve his feeling of having been fortunate, no one put it superior to Elvis Presley, whom Mr. Martin once met behind the stage when both were getting a sense of the status of the entertainment business rulers. “Son,” he says Presley said to him, “you have an ob-leek sense of humour.”

Justifying the title

Bombshell is an American movie directed by Jay Roach, written by Charles Randolph and cinematography effects by Barry Ackroyd.. Based on a true event, Bombshell shows the fight of a journalist, Gretchen Carison, fired by the chief executive of Fox agency, Roger Ailes who with other victims raise a voice against Roger for harassment. The film was released in 2019, after 2 years of the death of Roger Ailes. Megyn Kelly (Charles Randolph) also play a vital role and most of the movie revolves around her.

The movie starts with a conflict between Donald Trump, candidate for US elections for the presidency and a famous journalist with her own show ‘The Kelly Files’, Megyn Kelly. After the conflict and accusations made by Megyn on Live TV, she received a lot of criticism from Republicans. Then the story takes us to Gretchen Carison, who was harassed by Chief executive of Fox Agency gets fired by him and starts a fight with him by filing a lawsuit against him for sexual harassment. As the story unfolds. We come to know that Gretchen was not the only one who Roger harassed. She then inspires every woman to come forward and make him pay for what he did.

The movie is a strong portrayal of how rich and powerful people uses newcomers and struggling artists, who are still climbing the ladder to success. The people who love biographies and documentaries will be glued to their chairs throughout the movie. While there is less of entertainment factor in Bombshell, the movie provides us with the full knowledge of what happened at that time. The short quotes said by the characters in the movie such as “Nobody stops watching because of a conflict.

The lighting was great throughout the movie. The cinematography was applaudable there were 2 or 3 scenes when the camera directly zooms in towards the character while he/she was delivering dialogue which was quite distracting. In some scenes, the characters talk while looking directly into the camera which added some good effects in the movie. Music given by Theodore Shapiro in the movie was also appreciable too.

The movie also shows that while news channels and anchors play a vital role in forming the public’s opinions but it also leads to conflicts among them. New agencies along with delivering the news and current affairs to people, it influences them a lot. Bombshell contains some really powerful scenes, gaining our sympathy towards the victims of harassment. The movie can easily be compared to HBO’s film ‘The loudest voice’, based on the same scandal.

An insight into Fox News Corporation, Bombshell movie is worth a watch. It will take you back to 2016 and tells us the story through women’s point of view. The acting by all the characters was meritorious. The news of harassment was a shock to all public, thus justifying the title BOMBSHELL.

Our assisted writing program’s sole purpose is to help you turn your idea into a full-blown book. You will work with our in-house book authoring coach, who will help you from start to finish.

This means that they will:
- figure out the book’s objective
- identify the right audience for it
- help you create a chapter outline
- give you an extensive writing plan, with pitstops and guidelines
- ensure that you stick to your deadlines, with regular follow-ups
- stick with you until you finish writing your final draft

Publishing Process

Book Publishing Process

1. Reviewing the idea

Send us your completed manuscript if you have already finsihed writing or a small summary of your book idea if you are planning to write and we’ll review it and get back to you in 24 hours. After this, you’ll sign a contract and we’ll assign a Spotlight Publishing Manager for your project.

2. Positioning your brand

Our book authoring coach will work with you to figure out the objective of your book, who will benefit from it and what your selling point is. This is important because the rest of the writing and publishing process will depend on it.

3. Creating the content plan

The main objective of assisted writing is to create structure and direction for you when you write your book. So the first thing we’ll do is create an outline for your book, which will be the framework for the entire project. Your coach will also help you figure out your writing plan and schedule your writing with you.

4. Helping you write

From chapter templates to the structure and the writing style, your book authoring coach will be with you until the finish line, making sure you get exactly what you envision for your book. Of course, every word in the book will be yours. The writing coach will not try to change the content. In short, we won’t ghostwrite.

5. Editing your manuscript

Editing will begin once the writing ends when you have a full manuscript in hand. An editor will thoroughly copy edit your book and ensure that there are no language-related or hygiene issues in your script.

6. Designing your cover

Our team of cover designers will analyze the positioning of your book, do thorough research and create cover options for you. Of course, your input will play a major role in the design of the cover.

7. Distributing your book

Apart from making your book available on all major online stores worldwide, we will make sure your book is available in 15 premium bookstores in the country.
