The World of Nepotism

Welcome to the anti-meritocratic world, this world. What are you going to do about it? Will you stand back and watch while cronyism, nepotism, the old school tie, the private club, the right university, the right accent, the right background, the right secret society, the right religion, the right family, destroy merit so that their chosen ones can prosper at your expense. It’s time to smash the conspiracy. Break up all the mechanisms that allow privileged groups within society to rig the system in their favour and penalise anyone who doesn’t belong to their insidious cliques.

Michael Faust, The Meritocracy Party

Well , Its a very complicated questions . In the world, where one’s knowledge didn’t get recognition .

What would you do , when you get acknowledged not on the basis of your knowledge but on the basis of your relation with the owner ?

What would you do , if you don’t get promoted because you are not his /her relative ?

Do you ignore the fact that you are not the one , whom your boss approves?

Well , if you think it’s favouritism than you are absolutely correct . You may also come accross the word NEPOTISM and if you don’t than start reading the passage . (I did as well )

This 8 letter word is destroying everyone in today’s world. And who is responsible for creating such a hypocrite. We the people have to repose this curse and make sure to control it with our coming generations, else it will destroy the whole world. And there’ll be no humanity left in this world” –

Ikramul Hannah.

Introduction

Nepotism is a the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.

Nepotism is generally defined as “the bestowal of patronage by public officers in appointing others to positions because of blood or marital relationship”.

Nepotism is found in almost all the fields but it is practiced most in business, politics, sports and entertainment sectors. It has been in practice since time immemorial, but some special cases have made it to the limelight in the past few decades.

Nepotism in India :

India has it’s fair share in the field of NEPOTISM . Well , have you ever expected that . I say , YES . Because being one of the largest country , people might become more thirsty for power . “When constantly reaching out for more, you forget what you have” Christine Szymanski.

Nepotism can be characterized as ‘the demonstration of utilizing force or impact to get out of line preferences for individuals from one’s family’.

You must be conflicted , why does nepotism exist even today ? We are living in 21st century , than why we have such orthodox thinking ? Who says no one can define what is going on in one’s mind ( well I say , isn’t is obvious ) .

From the politics to the Entertainment , from the owner to the customer, from the Bollywood to the Judiciary ; Nepotism is everywhere .

Like in OJO -MOJO , After the submission of writing competition , OJO’s class teacher asked him who wrote better . Is it MOJO or OLLY , what do you think whom he would choose . MOJO thinks OJO will choose OLLY because he likes her . But when the result announced MOJO was astounded because OJO choose MOJO’s writing . So , what do you think is it nepotism or not . Think and you will know the answer .

Bias has become the first qualification to join a party, and extreme bias the virtue to become a leader.

Freedom of Trade, Commerce and Intercourse

The clauses of the Indian Constitution concerning freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse were taken from the Australian Constitution. The Australian Constitution states that there should be freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse, which can be carried out via ocean shipping or internal conveyance.

While India borrowed this clause, it also ensured that the free flow of products is allowed not only between states, but also within a single state. As a result, both inter-state and intra-state trade is permitted in India under the Indian Constitution.
Intercourse, trade, and commerce
According to Article 301 of the Indian Constitution, all trade, commerce, and interaction in the country should be free.
Trade involves the exchange of commodities and services between a buyer and a seller, as well as the transportation of such goods. The factor of products transmission, as well as that of men and animals, is more prominent in commerce. As a result, profit isn’t the most important consideration in business.

Article 301’s purpose
Article 301 of the Constitution was added to ensure that the nation’s unity is preserved by erasing geographical boundaries that exist throughout the country. Furthermore, it ensures the free flow of commodities throughout the country by removing any limits that may be imposed.

As a result, the primary goal of this provision is to instil in all Indians a sense of belonging to a single nation, which may be difficult to do if economic operations are hindered by several barriers, as they already are owing to regionalism and language barriers.

Commerce and taxation freedom are two important aspects of freedom of trade.
While Article 301’s goal is to allow for the free movement of products, this does not preclude the government from regulating some areas of trade. The state has the right to regulate trade, so if taxes are levied on goods, they do not automatically become a restriction on freedom of trade. There is a criterion that is used to determine whether or not a tax levied on goods is a violation of Article 301.

It is not possible to have complete freedom of trade, commerce, or intercourse.
Despite the fact that Article 301 states that trade, commerce, and intercourse shall be free across India, this freedom is not absolute. This means that limited limitations on this right can be placed without violating Article 301’s stipulations. Part XIII of the constitution mentions these constraints, and even Article 301 states that this freedom is subject to the provisions of this section..
Article 302 of the Indian Constitution gives Parliament the ability to put some limits on the free movement of products, but this power is subject to the provisions of Article 303.


Conclusion
Part XIII of the Indian Constitution contains provisions for freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse in India. While trade freedom exists, it is not absolute in nature, and various constraints can be imposed on it. As a result of these provisions, the freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse is granted Constitutional standing, which is important to ensure that geographical barriers and arbitrary limitations on the free flow of trade can be overcome.
