KFC story in India, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)

KFC was the first foreign fast food restaurant chain to enter India in 1990s after the Indian government implemented the economic liberalisation policy. At that time, KFC received permission from the Indian government to open 30 outlets across the country. The first KFC outlet in India was opened in Bangalore in June 1995 and from 30 outlets, the number has grown to 296 today. Fast food restaurants have gained popularity in India because of their customised menus that suit the taste buds of the citizens. Many people have the misconception that KFC only sells fried chicken; this is not at all true. In India, KFC has added a number of vegetarian items on its menu – Veg Zinger, Veg Rice Bowlz, and Veg Strips.   

When KFC first entered the Indian market, there were a lot of protests, and the Bangalore outlet was repeatedly ransacked. Many Indians were worried that the Western culture would seep into the Indian roots, leading to the dilution of indigenous traditions. To prevent further onslaughts on the KFC outlet, the management of the KFC outlet demanded a police van to be permanently parked outside for almost a year. Another KFC outlet was opened in Delhi in the same year but the combined revenue of both the Bangalore and Delhi outlets was not sufficient to continue the KFC business in India. The reason why KFC did not gain popularity is because of anti-KFC movements that accused KFC of using illegally high amounts of monosodium glutamate, which are harmful to health. Also, the anti-KFC movements claimed that KFC sold food that was cooked and fried in pork fat. Given all these accusations against KFC, the fast food restaurant did not reap sufficient revenue to continue its operations in India. As a result, KFC had to abandon the Indian market.​​​​​​​

Once the Indian market cooled down, KFC returned to the country in 1999 and set up an outlet in Bangalore. Until 2004, KFC only operated one outlet in India. As the sole outlet started making money, KFC expanded its operations throughout India and today, KFC outlets can be found in a number of cities. KFC has come a long way since its establishment in India in 1995. Despite facing a rejection from consumers, KFC did not lose hope in the Indian market. Instead of eliminating India from its venues of operation, it analysed the problems faced by KFC in India and worked hard to resolve them.   It is this tenacity that won the hearts and stomachs of millions of Indians, who finally decided to embrace KFC’s dishes and give KFC a second chance.

KFC (short for Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, that specializes in fried chicken. It is the world’s second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald’s, with 22,621 locations globally in 150 countries as of December 2019. The chain is a subsidiary of Yum ! Brands, a restaurant company that also owns the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and WingStreet chains.

KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first “Kentucky Fried Chicken” franchise opened in Utah in 1952. KFC popularized chicken in the fast-food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. By branding himself as “Colonel Sanders”, Harland became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC advertising to this day. However, the company’s rapid expansion overwhelmed the aging Sanders, and he sold it to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey in 1964.

KFC was one of the first American fast-food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it experienced mixed fortunes domestically, as it went through a series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In the early-1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits distributor Heublein, which was taken over by the R.J. Reynolds food and tobacco conglomerate; that company sold the chain to PepsiCo. The chain continued to expand overseas, however, and in 1987, it became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China. It has since expanded rapidly in China, which is now the company’s single largest market. PepsiCo spun off its restaurants division as Tricon Global Restaurants, which later changed its name to Yum ! Brands.

KFC’s original product is pressure-fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders’ recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe are a trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard “bucket”, which has become a feature of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman in 1957. Since the early-1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products such as chicken fillet sandwiches and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes such as French fries and coleslaw, desserts, and soft drinks, the latter often supplied by PepsiCo. KFC is known for its slogans “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good !”, “Nobody does chicken like KFC”, and “So good”.

Child Rights equally important

Children and childhood across the world, have broadly been construed in terms of a ‘golden age’ that is synonymous with innocence, freedom, joy, play and the like. It is the time when, spared the rigours of adult life, one hardly shoulders any kind of responsibility or obligations. But, then, it is also true that children are vulnerable, especially when very young. The fact that children are vulnerable, they need to be cared for and protected from ‘the harshness of the world outside’ and around.

This being so, the adult-child relation, parents, in particular, is said to provide ‘care and protection’ – serving thereby the ‘best interests of the child’ and meeting their day-to-day ‘needs of survival and development’. The adult is presumed to be the guardian and in that respect expected to take the responsibility of a child’s welfare and development. Whether or not, the premise underlying this is correct or not, the childhood ‘reality’ on the whole is questionable, demanding critical evaluation. Accordingly, idealistic notions and representations associated with children and childhood have been challenged, especially concerning poverty, disease, exploitation and abuse rife across the globe. Many also believe that childhood is that period during which children are subject to a set of rules and regulations unique to them, and one that does not apply to members of other social categories. It is indeed a period in a person’s life during which she/he is neither expected nor allowed to fully participate in various domains of social life. It is thus not a world of freedom and opportunity but one of confinement and limitation in which children are ‘wholly subservient and dependent’. This being so, childhood is nothing short of a world of isolation, sadness, exploitation, oppression, cruelty and abuse.

The UNCRC outlines the fundamental human rights that should be afforded to children in four broad classifications that suitably cover all civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of every child:

Right to Survival:

• Right to be born

• Right to minimum standards of food, shelter and clothing

• Right to live with dignity

• Right to health care, to safe drinking water, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help them stay healthy

Right to Protection:

• Right to be protected from all sorts of violence

• Right to be protected from neglect

• Right to be protected from physical and sexual abuse

• Right to be protected from dangerous drugs

Right to Participation:

• Right to freedom of opinion

• Right to freedom of expression

• Right to freedom of association

• Right to information

• Right to participate in any decision making that involves him/her directly or indirectly

Right to Development:

• Right to education

• Right to learn

• Right to relax and play

• Right to all forms of development – emotional, mental and physical

CRC and India

Adopted by the United Nations in 1989, the CRC is an international agreement legally binding on the parties signatory to it. It has incorporated in its various articles rights of children without any discrimination whatsoever. It was ratified by India on 11 December 1992. It has a preamble setting out different principles the CRC is built upon.

It is based on four basic principles:

1.  Non-discrimination (Article 2)

2.  Best Interest of the Child (Article 3)

3.  Right to Life Survival and Development (Article 6)

4.  Right to be Heard (Article 12)

Steps that can be taken to improve the lives of children.

·         Strengthen the reporting mechanism on violence against children by making it more accessible to children.

·         Develop a framework for the protection of children from online abuse and ensuring privacy, safety and confidentiality of data shared on digital platforms.

·         Enhance financial investment on child protection components

·         Sensitise parents, service providers and community for early identification and management of children facing abuse and violence; and sensitisation of children, parents and caregivers on gender issues.

·         Create awareness amongst children on safe usage of online platforms and protection from cyber abuse.

·         Strengthen the juvenile justice system in India and provide care, support and rehabilitation to survivors, particularly of sexual violence.

·         Ensure safe schools by integrating safe school principles in curricula, conduct awareness-raising workshops and develop capacities of teachers and other staffs

·         Emphasise on vocational training for children especially those involved in labour after they complete the age of 15 years.

Judiciary: Functions, Importance and an Essential Quality of Judiciary

The Judiciary is the third organ of the government. It has the responsibility to apply the laws to specific cases and settle all disputes. The real ‘meaning of law’ is what the judges decide during the course of giving their judgements in various cases. From the citizen’s point of view, Judiciary is the most important organ of the government because it acts as their protector against the possible excesses of legislative and executive organs. Role of Judiciary as the guardian-protector of the constitution and the fundamental rights of the people makes it more respectable than other two organs.
Functions of Judiciary and Its Importance:

  1. To Give Justice to the people:
    The first and foremost function of the judiciary is to give justice to the people, whenever they may approach it. It awards punishment to those who after trial are found guilty of violating the laws of the state or the rights of the people.

    The aggrieved citizens can go to the courts for seeking redress and compensation. They can do so either when they fear any harm to their rights or after they have suffered any loss. The judiciary fixes the quantity and quality of punishment to be given to the criminals. It decides all cases involving grant of compensations to the citizens.
  2. Interpretation and Application of Laws: One of the major functions of the judiciary is to interpret and apply laws to specific cases. In the course of deciding the disputes that come before it, the judges interpret and apply laws. Every law needs a proper interpretation for getting applied to every specific case. This function is performed by the judges. The law means what the judges interpret it to mean.
  3. Role in Law-making:

    The judiciary also plays a role in law-making. The decisions given by the courts really determine the meaning, nature and scope of the laws passed by the legislature. The interpretation of laws by the judiciary amounts to law-making as it is these interpretations which really define the laws.
    Moreover, ‘the judgements delivered by the higher courts, which are the Courts of Records, are binding upon lower courts. The latter can decide the cases before them on the basis of the decisions made by the higher courts. Judicial decisions constitute a source of law.
  4. Equity Legislation:
    Where a law is silent or ambiguous, or appears to be inconsistent with some other law of the land, the judges depend upon their sense of justice, fairness, impartiality, honesty and wisdom for deciding the cases. Such decisions always involve law-making. It is usually termed as equity legislation.
  5. Protection of Rights:
    The judiciary has the supreme responsibility to safeguard the rights of the people. A citizen has the right to seek the protection of the judiciary in case his rights are violated or threatened to be violated by the government or by private organisations or fellow citizens. In all such cases, it becomes the responsibility of the judiciary to protect his rights of the people.
  6. Guardian of the Constitution:
    The judiciary acts as the guardian of the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and it is the responsibility of the judiciary to interpret and protect it. For this purpose the judiciary can conduct judicial review over any law for determining as to whether or not it is in accordance with the letter and spirit of the constitution. In case any law is found ultra vires (unconstitutional), it is rejected by the judiciary and it becomes invalid for future. This power of the court is called the power of judicial review.
  7. Power to get its Decisions and Judgements enforced:
    The judiciary has the power not only to deliver judgements and decide disputes, but also to get these enforced. It can direct the executive to carry out its decisions. It can summon any person and directly know the truth from him.
    In case any person is held:
    (i) Guilty of not following any decision of the court, or
    (ii) Of acting against the direction of the court, or
    (iii) Misleading the court, or
    (iv) Of not appearing before the court in a case being heard by it, the Court has the power to punish the person for the contempt of court.
  8. Special Role in a Federation:
    In a federal system, the judiciary has to perform an additionally important role as the guardian of the constitution and the arbiter of disputes between the centre and states. It acts as an independent and impartial umpire between the central government and state governments as well as among the states. All legal centre-state disputes are settled by the judiciary.
  9. Running of the Judicial Administration :
    The judiciary is not a department of the government. It is independent of both the legislature and the executive. It is a separate and independent organ with its own organisation and officials. It has the power to decide the nature of judicial organisation in the state. It frames and enforces its own rules.
    These govern the recruitment and working of the magistrates and other persons working in the courts. It makes and enforces rules for the orderly and efficient conduct of judicial administration.
  10. Advisory Functions:
    Very often the courts are given the responsibility to give advisory opinions to the rulers on any legal matter. For example, the President of India the power to refer to the Supreme Court any question of law or fact which is of public importance.
  11. To Conduct Judicial Inquiries:
    Judges are very often called upon to head Enquiry Commissions constituted to enquire into some serious incidents resulting from the alleged errors or omissions on the part of government or some public servants. Commissions of enquiry headed by a single judge are also sometimes constituted for investigating important and complicated issues and problems.
  12. Miscellaneous Functions:
    Besides the above major functions, the judiciary also performs several other functions. Some such functions are the appointment of certain local officials of the court, choosing of clerical and other employees. Cases relating to grant of licenses, patents, and copy rights, the appointment of guardians and trustees, the admission of wills, to appoint trustees to look after the property of the minors, to settle the issues of successions of property and rights, issue of administrating the estates of deceased persons, the appointment of receivers, naturalization of aliens, marriage and divorce cases, election petitions and the like.
    Through all these functions, the Judiciary plays an important role in each state. It also plays a role in the evolution of Constitution through the exercise of its right to interpret and safeguard it against all legislative and executive excesses.

Importance of Independent Judiciary:
In the life of the citizens of a state, Judiciary is a source of confidence and fearlessness. The common man depends upon judiciary for getting justice. Without a security of rights and freedom guaranteed by the judiciary, they cannot really hope to carry out their jobs and enjoy their living. They are more dependent upon judiciary than the legislature and the executive. Without judicial protection, their lives can become miserable. From citizens point of view Judiciary is the most important organ of the government.
Garner highlights this view when he observes, “A society without legislature is conceivable, and indeed, legislative organs did not make their appearance in the state until modern times, but a civilised state without a judicial organ and machinery is hardly conceivable.”
Judiciary enjoys a big importance in the eyes of the people because it acts as:

(1) The dispenser of Justice.
(2) Protector of the rights of the people.
(3) Guardian protector of the Constitution of the State.
(4) Arbiter of center-state disputes.
(5) Safeguard against Legislative and executive excesses.
(6) Check against arbitrary exercise of powers by the power-holders.
(7) Guardian of Rule of Law and Justice.
An independent judiciary is always considered to be the most essential part of every democratic government worth its name. A government without judiciary is almost inconceivable. A government without independent judiciary is always held to be an authoritarian government.
Independence of Judiciary: An Essential Quality:
The chief quality which helps the judiciary to faithfully administer justice and to perform its functions efficiently is judicial independence. It is only when the judiciary works independently without any interference of the other two organs of the government that it can carry out its high responsibilities.
“The independence of judiciary,” writes Dr. P. Sharan, “is a corner stone of every democratic government and upon it is built the structure of civil liberty.” Judiciary can perform its functions only when it is free to administer justice according to law. Without being well-organised and independent it can never serve its purpose. Therefore, Judiciary must be organised in such a way as can enable the judges to give their judgements without any fear or favour.
Organisation of Judiciary must be based on the following features:
(1) Appointment of only highly qualified and experienced judges.
(2) The Judiciary must have prevented the executive and legislature from committing excesses.
(3) The ability of the judiciary to maintain and independently run the judicial administration.
(4) The Judiciary must be made the guardian protector of the Constitution,
(5) The Judiciary must ensure full, fair and less- expensive opportunities to the people for defending their rights and getting justice.
(6) The method of appointment of judges must be fair, systematic, effective and transparent.
(7) Method of removal of judges should be difficult and no single should have the power to remove the judges.
(8) Judges must be paid high salaries, necessary allowances, good service conditions, and appropriate retirement benefits.

By incorporating all these features in the judicial system, a well organised and independent judiciary can be secured.

Title – Being Women

Introduction –
‘It has never been a good time to be a woman.’ Shackled at home, deprived of rights in society, and subjected to gender bias at the workplace, women have borne the brunt of being the weaker sex all through history. Though the skew in rights and treatment haven’t quite corrected itself, women are possibly in a better place today than ever before. This is because of rising awareness, availability of global forums, and social media to voice their anguish and angst, changes in laws to empower them, and proactive governments to implement gender-neutral law. Still, there are many areas that can do with a nudge to empower them, one being the succession, inheritance laws, Marriage, Divorce (especially in Muslim law), Maintenance, Protection, Equal rights, and freedom. The share of inheritance of a woman is half that of a man. Since upon marriage, a woman receives mahr and maintenance from the husband, as well as inheritance, while a man only has the inherited property, it is generally considered that the woman should have a lesser share in the inherited property.
When all these things get over, there comes lack of freedom to choose what to wear, whom to marry, Pursuing career is war-like situation for a woman and when she fights with all this taboo she fears walking on the road with a sense of Security. She faces Eve Teasing, Assault, Violence, Rape, Trafficking, and whatnot. She even needs to prove to the law that she doesn’t bleed by choice, but that’s natural and sanitary napkins, taprooms are not luxurious but essential commodities. 

Though there are multiple amendments as of 2019 for women’s wellbeing still there is wide scope for development in the following fields – 
1 – Right to Education and pursue  job to make them self-reliant
2 – Equal Share in Inheritance Property 
3 – Protection against Unconstitutional way of divorce.
4 – Gender Equality 
5 – Protection against men doing four Nikhas (marriage) and get entitlement under uniform civil code and such act shall get published under bigamy or polygamy as the case may be. 
6 – Freedom to choose a life partner from other caste as well, as India is Secular country hence prohibiting adults to choose a partner to get married from same cast shall be offense. 7 – Age of puberty shall not be same as Age of maturity hence At least till women attain age of 18 she shall not be forced to get married as she should be given chance to develop mentally and physically for becoming part of married life and having sexual intercourse or say conceiving child.(under Muslim Law) 

Article 44 of Indian Constitution – Uniform Civil Code v. Women’s Right – 
Because none of the politician want to loosen their vote banks, they never actually give a try for uniform civil code for all citizens irrespective of Gender or Caste. But unfortunately Womans specially Muslim Sisters are suffering alot to get justice because of their own septate Muslim Act (not being against their Act but raising voice for equal opportunity and justice for both gender) I feel it’s peak time to make uniform law in practicality and end this controversy of applicability of Article 44.

“Women don’t need special treatment they just need protected environment with equal opportunity to develop as a human and enjoy Right to Life and Personal liberty provide under Article 21 of Constitution.”

Fragile inside & out.

Do you love both the sides of yourself? Or is it just a social obligation that you’re tending to maintain the same mask to the outer world. World is fragile and are you but where is the courtesy that is routing to your self worth each and every time you try to expose , put your actual self out there in the tough and robust world. People form families and live together to support one-another. Everyone is hyper-alert to one-another’s physical and mental well-being. Nothing is said; and nothing is done to darken the brighter mood of family and being together but it’s about the mask your wear here and the mask you wear before showing up to the outer world. Opening up to the world , showing who you really are , unleashing the true self of yours is way more peaceful than you lying about your own perceptions and mentalities Does it increase their subjective of well being? The answer is no, it does not, or not nearly as much as you expect. And here many of us have this sort of stern sadness. basically, most of the direction you’re going, with how you’re putting energy into things, what you’re applying for, what you’re stressing about, all that stuff, is just the wrong direction. Or maybe a more coarsey version of this is you are clueless about what is going to make you happy. Maybe your happiness just genetically set, and you just can’t change it around. Maybe you’re either a glass half empty person or glass half full person, and that’s it. Nobody guarantees you a set of happy hours about you crack opening your insecure shell in the society but it does give you sigh of reliefs abundantly. Genetically we’re just set, we can’t change it. Second is, life circumstances matter so much it trumps everything else or somehow the life circumstances balance out. Sometimes our mind delivers to us stuff that’s just like, factually incorrect. The key is that sometimes, even outside of vision, we’re getting these intuitions that our mind is delivering to us with full force, like that’s the right answer, that’s what’s going to make us happy, but it is just wrong.The “sometimes” what we’re labeling or addressing it to can differ at times , not everybody is very subjective about knowing your authentic self they rather prefer to adjust with the phony personality you maintain for the eyes and perceptions of society and its satisfaction. Particularly, people’s life circumstances where there’s been some sort of train wreck, for lack of a better term. Really terrible things happen, you become paraplegic , and that totally has nothing to do with you having your life happily made by showing your “once and for all” face to the world.

Human Law & Natural Law

Making the laws and its execution onto others has consistently been the human instinct from the earliest starting point. The main part of human law was first composed when man put his foot on the earth. With the control of fire, he began to solidify and made the state or gathering; and to oversee and control the gathering, a law was set up. Clearly such law would have been identified with the chasing, sharing of food, sharing of rooftop and so forth. With the progression of time, men develop at both their scholarly and social level. A few states were made, domains were checked , intricacy in social traditions and customs emerges and in equal, a few standards and laws shaped to control individuals and their method of livings. The steady ascent in human laws are very much seen from paleolithic age to Rig vedic age. A short time later, we have risen jump and limits in foundation of the human social orders and overseeing laws.

On the off chance that we take a gander at our general public and in progressively expansive manner, at our entire world, we will discovered multitudinous sort of variety in human decisions, inclinations, customs, ceremonies, language, conduct, and laws. Obviously, such variety is normal as we as a whole have diverse character. With the ascent in expectations for everyday comforts and own mind, it is basic to set up a standard of law that may control the human exercises of same gathering in intelligent manner. Such laws are likewise expected to tie the individuals together and sustain the harmony and fraternity among them. Aside from social reconciliation, human laws likewise administer the man’s accept and confidence. Presently, from the labor to union with death commemoration, the sum total of what ceremonies have been redone through man-made laws. The human laws finished both uprightness and harmony in the public eye and constant competition among various arrangement of brains.

At whatever point, the administering laws went to oppression against individuals and society, voices have raised. Individuals are sufficiently daring to break it. They reason may either be the social or individual. With the approach of Buddha and Jain, the standing based cultural laws were protested and attempted to perplexed. The valiance of Rajput against Mughal domain is likewise one of the best case of how they were fearless against human law. The long battle of Independence of India covers an entire story of human valiant against British laws and rules. Today, there are number of issues when individuals challenge the human laws. Regardless of whether it is the issue of fear based oppression, between nation’s belief system contrasts, military hostility, common assets, we are battling to violate the laws that are against our freedom, qualities, contemplation and own advantage. A conflict on ethnicity, race, religion, language, beliefs, minds all are much of the time watched today. The war of matchless quality will go on until the end of time. As much as we have human laws, the conflicts would be grown in the public eye at a similar degree.

Nature has its own law. It oversees in its own specific manner. From the ascending of sun to grow of seeds from soil, there is a fixed arrangement of nature’s standard that apply to all living and non-living things. Nature’s law is everlasting and fixed. Nothing is over the nature’s law. In any case, maybe we individual either didn’t get it yet or as yet attempting to challenge the nature’s law with our minds and innovation. The impedance in nature’s law has consistently brought issues and challenges for us. For instance, we fabricated dams, attempted to occupy the waterways regular course and subsequently its outcome are seen to us all as flood and dry seasons. We attempted to change the nature’s law of adjusting the piece of gases in air and along these lines, it result are before us as environmental change. We and our cutting edge would endure crushed misfortune because of environmental change for a long time. By hereditary designing we attempted to meddle in nature’s organic framework. It’s outcome come to us as a few hereditary issue illnesses. Along these lines, there are endless models when individuals meddled in nature’s law and confronted the ground.

Interest is the significant qualities of person that has consistently poked to do explore different avenues regarding nature’s law. In any case, such impedance were intended to spare the human life, progress of human culture and accomplish a plunge life. However, the issue is such endeavors crossed the admissible furthest reaches of nature. We have been so excited in accomplishing our objective that we neglect to grasp the nature for whatever it has given to us. Rather than doing some investigation in the event that we would have taken in the reasonable utilization of nature’s blessings, we would have better everyday environment. The suitable utilization of normal assets with giving qualities and regard to its different perspectives is completely not quite the same as usage of assets for exclusively personal responsibility. Nature’s law are applied to all similarly. The abuse of normal assets will remunerate in its own particular manner through flood, dry seasons, infection, war and so on.

Arrangement doesn’t deceive win the nature’s law however to grasp and regard it and to oblige ourselves with nature. we can’t sufficiently courageous to nature’s law. We ought to understand this reality and attempt to fabricate our advancement in corresponding to nature’s law. Our own law is intended to carry on with a noble existence with equivalent access to every single human right however such goal shouldn’t be at the expense of nature’s law. Something else, the time isn’t far enough when the nature will show us an intense exercise and we would be not able to spare our own reality. It’s not very late. Manufacture our own law in congruity of nature’s law.

Social Media Life

Social Media can be on the whole characterized as an innovation based stage which practically associates individuals over a system (like the Internet), and causes them impart, share media, and so forth. Some unmistakable instances of this stage incorporate Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Web based life has got a lot of gestures of recognition and reactions; one noteworthy analysis is that it is naturally a narrow minded medium. Of course, the manner in which it is utilized by most of individuals, legitimizes this announcement.

The vast majority utilize the web-based social networking to loosen up from the genuine physical world, get engaged, and restore the psyche (obviously). A normal client signs in, looks through a couple of media content, speaks with a couple of individuals, feels engaged and loose, and serves his/her motivation. Such close to home intrigue speaks to a limited vision of the whole stage, and can be properly rewarded as a childish rationale. Then again, it is likewise a narrow minded rationale that keeps the normal client joined to the online life.

This thought process is of the organizations that are managing everything. Different worthwhile highlights are occasionally come in, which keep a normal client pulled in into the stage; a code word for a bug getting pulled in towards a consuming light glimmer. Therefore, the organizations are winning billions of dollars, and are serving their business thought processes. Different factors likewise utilize the internet based life to serve their inclinations.

Take the political class for instance – ideological groups are progressively utilizing this stage to encourage their gathering promulgation. The goal is to rope in more individuals, and grow their gathering bases. While no prompt mischief comes out of it, however it speaks to a narrow minded intention of utilizing the online life. In any case, another comparable strategy of roping in individuals, may carry prompt damage to the mankind.

This perspective is of the radicalization of youth by the fear outfits. Psychological militants are progressively utilizing the internet based life stages to spread their belief systems, radicalize the clients (basically the adolescents), and enroll them in their outfits. These enlisted people may then assume various jobs, such as organizing a solitary wolf assault, or carry arms and fake cash, etc. Such accursed and childish purposes must be denounced and settled, by all the partners including the law requirement organizations, guardians, and such. Be that as it may, even these partners are not insusceptible to the narrow minded intentions of certain different entertainers.

Take the part of digital security for instance – digital crooks are progressively assaulting the online networking with all types of phishing assaults, malware, ransomware, etc. Their solitary goal is to access information; information can be monetary, political, authoritative, or even touchy global ones (like the supposed Russian interfering in the 2016 US Presidential decisions). The information at that point serves the narrow minded interests of the actor(s).

From the segment above, it very well may be genuinely inferred that internet based life is an egotistical medium, serving just childish and limited interests. Be that as it may, web based life is an immense factor, in essence, and can’t be limited to such restricted range of utilization alone. To validate, the bit underneath outlines the wide range of utilization of the online life, which is to a huge degree, non-narrow minded.

Let us start with the ‘media’ in web-based social networking – with the extended availability and computerized outreach, anyone is a possible columnist. That is, any individual can report any episode (or news), alongside believable proof, to the mass everywhere; prevailing press can go with the same pattern. Despite the fact that the news can serve individual intrigue, yet the very part of engaging each client by means of online networking, gives it a non-childish touch. This likewise presents another sacrificial goal – mass availability and correspondence.

Web based life permits exceptional availability, across different levels and partners. It additionally supports the entrance of information, in this manner empowering one to settle on educated choices. Such network additionally gives a window of little scope enterprise adventures, with extremely constrained capital speculation (like home-made dish plans for instance). Since these advantages spread the whole client base, and not implied for a specific gathering or individual, these are innately non-narrow minded in nature.

At another level, internet based life permits online networking efforts and create wide-spread help for a real reason. While such battles might be started by a couple, these by and large include issues that spread a wide range of individuals, in this way making it non-egotistical. Some conspicuous online life battles of the ongoing past incorporate that of internet fairness, against lewd behavior of ladies (#MeToo crusade, etc. Proceeding onward, certain overflow perspectives likewise feature the non-childish character of the internet based life.

Take the different Research and Development (R&D) ventures that organizations convey to upkeep their upper hands. While at first determined by benefit arranged narrow minded intentions, these activities for the most part advantage humanity with new innovations that make our carries on with simpler – Geo-labeling, face recognition, etc are some huge models. The Government of India is as of now starting an undertaking to Geo-label the different resources made through the MGNREGA plot; a really non-narrow minded activity.

Discussing government, in the part of administration additionally, web based life has endlessly supported e-administration and its three principal columns – openness, straightforwardness and responsibility. By and by, in India any client can discuss even with the Ministries straightforwardly, and get their real issues settled. Since this angle benefits the whole populace, it very well may be appropriately regarded as non-childish. Be that as it may, with regards to our condition, online life ventures blended points of view.

While the facts confirm that a ton of paper (and thus trees) get spared because of the expanding number of online clients, however a great deal of e-squander is likewise produced all the while. Here, the main perspective (that of sparing trees) might be considered as non-narrow minded since it benefits humankind on the loose. Be that as it may, the subsequent viewpoint may have a narrow minded thought process, driven by the worthwhile commercials over the online life stages, and the ensuing advancement of an expendable culture. That is, the business network benefits through this activity, at the expense of the earth.

Basically, online networking isn’t narrow minded, in essence. Everything relies upon the manner in which we use it. While it might be naturally utilized by a specific gathering (or individual) for childish thought processes, it might likewise be the situation that an individual uses it for egotistical intentions now and again, while sacrificially at different occasions. It consequently relies completely on how we use it.

In this specific circumstance, it might be expressed that internet based life is progressively driving humankind towards realism, and away from the way of otherworldly development. Along these lines, ample opportunity has already past that we figure out how to switch this pattern, and adjust our activities such that gives importance and reason to our lives.

Micro services

Microservices

The World is upgrading with the latest technology, in this updated world there are many things to know like Microservices 

What are microservices??

Microservices is an architectural pattern where every application function its own service and these services are deployed in containers and these containers speak with APIs (application program interface) 

Why would I want a microservices??

Because microservices is a traditional architectural which creates large monolithic packages that can be challenging deploy, the configuration is hard to manage, so microservices are small, isolated, packaged and independent of each other that makes our work easier and manage

Microservices vs Monolithics

Monolithic is an architecture set up used to for traditional server-side up system, the entire system functions are based on a single application, Monolithcs apps are faster than Microservices, Monoliths do not require for communicating APIs(application interfere system), and microservices need to communicate with APIs

What are the advantages of microservices

There are so many advantages but these are specifical important

Independent deployment

Independent development

Mixed technology stack

Fault isolation 

Characteristics of microservices

Organized on business capabilities

Products not projects

Small endpoints

Design for failure

Microservices vs SOA

Microservices are fine-grained and SOA is course-grained

Section 124A. Sedition

What is sedition?

Whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards, the Government established by law in India, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three.

Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code lays down the punishment for sedition. The Indian Penal Code was enacted in 1860, under the British Raj. Section 124A forms part of Chapter VI of the Code which deals with offences against the state and section 124A was introduced in 1870.

The sedition trial of 1897 against Lokmanya Tilak is historically famous. Tilak, a lawyer by training, was also politically active in support of independence. He established and published two dailies—Kesari in Marathi and Mahratta in English; both being published from Pune. In 1894, Professor R. P. Karkaria presented his paper on the Maratha king Shivaji to the Royal Asiatic Society in Bombay. This turned into an annual celebration commemorating the anniversary of Shivaji’s coronation. Three years later, Tilak published reports of this celebration, as “Shivaji’s Utterances”; this essay doubled as an attack on the colonial government. Justice Arthur Strachey, who presided over Tilak’s case, widened the understanding of Section 124A. Under Strachey’s definition, the attempt to excite “feelings of enmity” against government was also a form of sedition. Tilak was found guilty by the jury and sentenced to 18 months of rigorous imprisonment.Tilak again faced charges against sedition for two Kesari articles, titled “The Country’s Misfortune” (12 May 1908) and “These Remedies Are Not Lasting” (9 June 1908). He was again found guilty under the newly drafted section 124A, and sentenced to six years of imprisonment in Burma.

In 1922, Mahatma Gandhi three articles for Young India resulted into his and Shankarlal Banker’s imprisonment under the sedition section. While appearing in court, Gandhi referred to Section 124A as the “prince among the political sections of the Indian Penal Code designed to suppress the liberty of the citizen”.

During the 21st century, various notable authors, creative professionals, activists and politicians have been charged with sedition under Section 124A.Arundhati Roy (2010), and Aseem Trivedi (2012), Rinshad Reera (2019).

Punishment for the offence of sedition

  • Sedition is a non-bailable offence. Punishment under the Section 124A ranges from imprisonment up to three years to a life term, to which fine may be added.
  • A person charged under this law is barred from a government job. They have to live without their passport and must produce themselves in the court at all times as and when required.

Dissent and criticism of the government are essential ingredients of robust public debate in a vibrant democracy. They should not be constructed as sedition. Right to question, criticize and change rulers is very fundamental to the idea of democracy.Sedition is an archaic, oppressive colonial law that exalts the government to a position of sanctity and seeks to make us obedient, unquestioning vassals of the state. It has no place in a democracy and must be abolished

IPC and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act have provisions that penalize “disrupting the public order” or “overthrowing the government with violence and illegal means”. These are sufficient for protecting the national integrity. There is no need for Section 124A.The sedition law is being misused as a tool to persecute political dissent. A wide and concentrated executive discretion is inbuilt into it which permits the blatant abuse.

In the recent consultation paper on the sedition, the Law Commission has suggested invoking 124A to only criminalize acts committed with the intention to disrupt public order or to overthrow the Government with violence and illegal means.

Recent scenario

It is a matter of concern that a large number of sedition cases have been filed against people for protesting against the CAA. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) show that 194 cases of sedition have been filed since the CAA was passed on December 11, 2019. More cases of sedition have been filed since December 11 than in the last three years put together, according to NCRB data. The data also show that while the number of sedition cases filed has been going up every year (numbers for sedition cases started being recorded from 2014) in the last four years, only four cases actually resulted in conviction.

Sedition law is essentially that of suppressing free speech and free thought, both of which are unpopular with the government. Sedition is an offence which existed in our Indian Penal Code (IPC) before we got Independence because the colonial master wished to penalise anybody who was trying to overthrow the state. But the irony is that in independent India, of late, this provision is being used to bully and terrorise citizens. And in the Bidar case, where a parent and the principal of a school were charged with sedition for staging a play critical of the CAA, we saw that it was used — or rather misused — to bully and terrorise small children and a young woman.

The Supreme Court, in its interpretation of Section 124A, clearly says that it has to be against the state, not against the government. One can criticise the BJP, One can criticise the Congress, One can criticise the Communist parties. That is not sedition. When someone start criticising the constitutional state of India, that is when one invite the charge of sedition and even there the Supreme Court clearly says that there has to be a direct incitement to violence. So, sedition is a very specific and a very serious offence, and when it is used to silence and terrorise the ordinary citizen who is raising a grievance, it is terrorism by the state. 

Conclusion:

India is the largest democracy of the world and the right to free speech and expression is an essential ingredient of democracy. The expression or thought that is not in consonance with the policy of the government of the day should not be considered as sedition. The Law Commission has rightly said, “an expression of frustration over the state of affairs cannot be treated as sedition”. If the country is not open to positive criticism, there would be no difference between the pre- and post-Independence eras.

Concept of ‘Power of Attorney’ (POA)

 

Meaning of the term ‘Power Of Attorney’

‘Power Of Attorney’ is an authority given by an instrument by one person, called as the donor or principal, authorising another person, called donee or agent to act on his behalf. There may be possibility of giving ‘Power Of Attorney’ by two or more persons jointly to one or more persons. Here a legal authority is given by the principal to the agent which may be broad or limited and an agent can take all necessary decisions i.e. financial, property related matters and all other matters where principal cannot be present to sign or in the case of principal’s illness and disability. A paper signed by principal giving powers to an agent is sometimes itself called a power of attorney. A paper giving a power of attorney should be clear and understandable.

 Importance of Power of Attorney

A power of attorney document is an extremely important part of estate planning yet one of the most misunderstood. It is often convenient or even necessary to have someone else act for you as there is advancement in the business and commerce transactions. As many people confuse the power of attorney (POA) with a will (Probate), but these documents are two very different things and have two very different functions. A will comes into effect on the day person die. A POA applies during a person’s lifetime and ceases to apply when he dies. So you actually need both a POA and a will as they complement, and do not overlap, each other. To add a twist to the subject, there are two types of POA: one for property and one for personal care. These two types are completely separate. They deal with different areas of your life and both are required for effective estate planning.

Classification of Attorney

 The Power of Attorney can be classified into two categories which includes:

 General Power of Attorney: A general power of attorney is one by which an instrument is executed by the principal authorising the agent to do certain acts in general on his behalf. The word ‘General’ here means that the power must be general regarding the subject matter and not general with regard to powers in respect of a subject matter. If the subject matter is not general but restricted to something either specific or specifically mentioned by the principal while drafting an instrument then it will not constitute a general power of attorney. It is otherwise called as limited power of attorney.

 Special Power of Attorney: A special power of attorney is one by which a person is appointed by the principal to do some specified act or acts. In this type of power of attorney, an agent conferred with a power to do specific act in a single or specified transactions in the name of the principal.

 Durable Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney which specifically says otherwise, agent’s power ends if principal become mentally incapacitated. However, a power of attorney may say that it is to remain in effect in the event of future incapacity of the principal. A power of attorney that says this is called a durable power of attorney.

To ascertain whether power of attorney is of general or special in nature, the subject matter in respect of which power is conferred Is to be seen accurately. The power of attorney is the unilateral document wherein donor or the principal gives authoritative power to the agent by signing the document and the agent’s sign is not always required.

 Persons Competent To Execute

A power of attorney can be executed by any person who is competent to enter into a contract. However, the married women can execute powers of attorney even if they are minors. A company while executing power of attorney must make conformity with the ‘Articles of Association’ and its common seal. A person must be competent to give power to the appointed person so that it will not affect the legality of the instrument/deed of power of attorney.

Authentication of power of Attorney

As per Indian law, a power of attorney is a legal document that has to be properly framed, using the right legal terminology and setting out the objectives and responsibilities that you wish to authorise the appointee to carry out on your behalf. If a person wants to authorise someone to act as a power of attorney on his behalf, it must be signed and notarised by a certified notary advocate, who is able to declare that you are competent at the time of signing the document to issue the said power of attorney. You will need to show your ID to the notary advocate before he/she is able to certify and issue the document. It must be executed and authenticated by the registrar or sub-registrar of assurances as per the ‘Registration Act, 1908’.

Presumption About Power of Attorney

 A power of attorney is legal written document which has more legal value and the authenticated attorney will be presumed by the court as legal document under ‘Indian Evidence Act, 1872’. According to the Section: 85 of ‘Indian Evidence Act, 1872’, which provides that the court shall presume that every document purporting to be a power of attorney, and has to be clearly authenticate and executed before the notary or magistrate. If there is any issue arises concerning to the genuineness of the attorney then proof of its execution can be called for the verification.
