ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!

“Intellectual Property is a key aspect for economic development- Craig Venter”.

In ancient times India was known as ‘The Golden Sparrow’. It means that at the time India was a prosperous and developed country. Here the economy was mainly based on simple living, hard work and mutual brotherhood. Sufficient food grains were obtained from fertile land and cottage and rural industries made their living easy. Trade was done on large scale with people that, the state and villages were happy and prosperous. In ancient times under economic development along with materialistic facilities human values were also given important place. The great thinker, Kautilya, described these thoughts in detail in his book ‘Arthshastra’. 

According to classical economist Adam Smith, economic development has been defined as increase in goods and services of a country. Karl Marx considered economic development as the establishment of socialism J.S. Mill’s opinion about economic development is totally different. He considered economic development as to follow the principle of cooperation for welfare of people and economic development. Among the new economists Paul Albert considers economic development as the increase in real national income by use of all productive resources NY a country. While I’m the opinion of Williamson and Bustricks- development is the increase in the per capita income of the people of a country.

Economic planning-

Economic planning is a process in which economic resources are used to obtain some clear and defined aims in a specified period of time. Thus it can be said that two things are essential in economic planning such as 

1. Pre decided aims which have to be accomplished.

2. Description of the use of available resources to obtain the pre determined aims.

In economic planning the government decides how will the economic resources be utilized for the maximum satisfaction of the society. The economic resources of the country are estimate before planning.

Planning in India and aims of planning-

After the independence, in order to Make plans for the country and planning commission was set up on 15th March 1950, for the country. In India the national leaders and experts emphasized on the need of construction of the nation before achieving independence. In 1934, Sir Vishweshvarya presented a ten years plan for the economic development and reconstruction of India for the first time. After that in 1944 The Bombay plan by the major industrialists of the country and The Gandhian Plan (Gandhiwadi Yojana) by Shriman Narayan was presented, but these plans could not implemented due to some practical reasons.

Indicators of development-

Gross national income is accepted as measure to compare the level of development between different countries for a long period of time. Professor Morris developed a physical quality of the life index (or PQLI) in this direction. Similarly, Professor Paul Streetan emphasized on accepting the basic need approach. In the year 1990 United nations organization “Human Development Indicator or Index” by giving absolute form, to these thoughts. After this, these indicators of economic development were published in the reports of Human Development Indicators. Both physical and non physical factors are included in Human Development Index. Gross domestic product such as physical factor and child mortality rate, life expectancy and educational achievements as non physical factors are included in it.

Tenure/ Duration of various five years plan in India-

From 1947 to 2017, the Indian economy was premised on the concept of planning. This was carried through the Five-Year Plans, developed, executed, and monitored by the Planning Commission (1951-2014) and the NITI Aayog (2015-2017). 

 

Homosexuals, Homophobics and the Current Situation

There has been a lot of progress in terms of upliftment and rights of the LGBTQ community in recent years. All over the world, they are being emancipated from not being able to live as they want, from not being able to express themselves and their true identity. The matter is not subjective but there is still significant opposition to the idea of letting people marry or love as non-conventional couples. What are the arguments of both of these sides you may ask?

On one hand we have those infected with the “Gay disease” and anyone stupid enough to support such vermin. They want LGBTQs have the same rights as other humans, be able to marry and love freely, and not be discriminated against. How dare they? Who in their right minds would give ‘them’ actual human rights? They aren’t humans. There’s nothing human in their behaviour! Even if Homo sapiens and Homo-Sexual may suggest the contrary. Who needs science anyway? Not the contemporary world apparently.

On the other hand, we have people, mostly blind of the book, blessed by God and the only ones worthy enough to interpret what god says. According to them, God did not make people “queers” by birth and hence LGBTQs should be customary to long lasting culture. In their words, they just want to rid the land of this disease and heal the people under the shackles of this widespread disease. The most effective way is to bash them with a big giant book of your nearest favorite religious teachings. The biggest opposition they have is to ‘their’ marriages. We can’t let the vermin breed, who knows what kind of monsters they will conceive? The devil’s sons all of them! It’s too risky to let them near kids or adopt them. Now that the world is being more “tolerant,” whatever that means, we can’t kill ‘them’ on a spit-roast publicly like before. How will we teach our children to do the same with them? On a side note, I am not using the word gay because it is seen as too pejorative by the community whose argument I am displaying.

Now the government’s side on this is that “we really don’t want to lose votes from any side so we’re just gonna be as slow as possible in any implementation of laws.” Of course, you can’t blame them, in a developing country of over a billion plus, our politicians have a lot more important work to do like drinking chai, visiting Astrologers and taking the odd trip to Bangkok all while turning a blind eye to all the hate the LGBTQ community gets for no apparent reason in the Indian context. All the more reason why we don’t have something such as an “anti-discrimination law” because how can we legally force Indians not to discriminate? Its absurd, unthinkable even! We even stopped a bill on transgender rights from even coming into discussion! It’ll make half of the sitting MPs very uncomfortable of course and they truly do matter more than the common homosexual.

Satire aside, it really is a problem in the world and in our country on how homosexuals are treated. Just the fact that it needs to be written that homosexuals deserve to be treated as humans too with respect, individuality and franchise itself says a lot about human society. The progress has been slow, in the implementation of laws and most definitely in the changing of mindset of the people. It is the acceptance of the people and the changing of their mindset is what really matters because laws mean nothing without the people’s acceptance to follow them. After reading both the sides and the supposedly neutral side, but we all know which side they are on (p.s.- it’s the votes), I think we can make up our minds on what we side with, morality or repression. I have made my mind and I can be sure you have made yours’ too. 

HOMOSEXUALITY AND ITS ADVENT IN INDIA

  Let’s start with the basics. What is meant by Homosexuality and Heterosexuality in terms of Indian Teachings and much revered Scriptures? Simply said, any person who had a lack of desire for the opposite sex, were considered ‘the third gender’ by the Vedas. This third gender was clearly accepted as a part of the society without any discrimination. Of course, the terms used today are too refined to be used at those times, so they resorted to an assortment of terms like ‘hijra’ and ‘kinnar’ , quite a lot of which are used today as well, though mostly as slurs. So, what did Hinduism preach and how is it that belonging to a third gender is now ‘unacceptable’? If you have heard of the Rig Veda, you know that it is considered an utmost holy scripture, which speaks of two celestials Varuna and Mitra, who were a ‘same sex couple’(both were males), and not only that, they also managed to conceive children! I will leave the scientific part of figuring how that happened, out to you, nevertheless, they did and King Bhagirathi who achieved supernatural feats (apparently he brought the river Ganges to Earth, from Heaven) was also the child of two widowed women. Ever heard a Politician named Mahesh Sharma, say: “I worship Ramayana and I think it is a historical document. People who think it is fiction are absolutely wrong”? He also protested against the Supreme Court’s decision on the decriminalization of homosexuality, even though, Hanuman (a god in Ramayana) when in Lanka noticed several women in carnal fashion, both demonic and human. Once again all this is mythical, so what about the times where we can get proof besides written text?

LGBTQ+ FLAG

Homosexuality may be considered as a new ideology amongst the minds of today’s population, but in reality, one can simply take a look at some shrines built during the twelfth to fourteenth century, such as those at Puri in Orissa or Tanjore in Kerala, which often depict a range of sculptures and statues ranging from “affectionate” hugging to romanticized glances between women, to men outright exposing themselves to each other, all of which suggests a queer intent across the subcontinent, which has been a subject of immense interest, since it is open to endless interpretations to historians in modernity.

So, despite vivid mention of sexual fluidity across Hindu Literature or architecture, why is belonging to LGBTQ+ community considered such an aberration today? Now instead of such historic references, let us come to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where the term ‘homosexuality’ came to be used in Europe. Europeans considered a person who chose desire over the innate purpose of propagation of bloodlines as ‘criminal’ and ‘vile’. Similarly, the practices where men and women were not indulgent with members of the opposite sex, and rather felt an attraction among their own gender was deemed ‘unnatural’. In this case, the West perverted (here, distorted) the laws of their imperial colonies, and when they came to India, they passed the anti-sodomy law, disrupting the beliefs of the country’s population. Then, to say transgenderism today is part of the “western culture”, would be wrong. After British rulers passed the anti-sodomy law, many educated Indian social reformers and nationalists began to express a new aversion to what was a part of their, including polytheism, and sex outside marriage, including same-sex relationships. It also became unacceptable to write about same-sex relations in “polite literature”, throughout the first-half of the 20th century. After the culture of the country was twisted beyond recognition, the claims of queerness now became immoral. In reality, queerness was always our culture, and history is an account of it. Nevertheless, most communities continue to be unwelcoming of LGBTQ+ people, often reflecting attitudes imported from colonial times. It reveals how we have forgotten ancient Indian heritage of recognizing and accommodating queer sexualities, and have submitted to “Victorian morality”. This colonization of the mind was reflected in IPC Section 377 that saw non-heterosexual non-procreative sex as ‘against the order of nature’. This outdated law was finally struck down by the Supreme Court on 6 September 2018.

ANCIENT INDIAN CULTURE

The deism of Hinduism is fluid, where Gods changed forms from Rocks, to Rivers to men to women to hermaphrodites (saguna), and sometimes became formless (nirguna). Hinduism should not be misunderstood as an anti-passion religion, as choosing to pursue one’s desires does not make them any less spiritual or sinful. The verdict in 2018 was highly overdue, since it led us to give up simply controlling someone else, restricting their freedom and refusing to understand the diversity that is our culture.

COUNTRIES WHERE HOMOSEXUALITY IS ILLEGAL

Hopefully, one day Families will realize the value of someone’s sexuality rather than constrict it and understand there are several ways to life and to love, which need not fit the traditional norms. We all appreciate Tim Cook, the openly gay CEO of Apple, singers like Halsey and actors like Ellen Page, or television hosts such as Ellen deGeneres and in the future, we must refrain from denying employment, education, healthcare, and most importantly, love, to anyone based on their identity. Hopefully people will recognize the simple fact that if you ARE gender-fluid, you will always be gender-fluid. At the least, we can be allies, supporting and creating a safe space for the third gender in our world. Our choice of action can be either rooted in love, or hatred. That is in our choice, and both ignorance and exclusion, are not love.

HOW COVID-19 TRANSFORMED LGBTQ COMMUNITY?

 

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

This title here is a sarcastic statement. When talking about the LGBT community, we have to keep in mind that, we are not here to dwell on the past, not to play blame games, we are hear to join our heads together and make self-acceptance in LGBT community and make them a part of us. Looking towards the catastrophic situations created by the Covid-19 pandemic, we all forgot that apart from the rest of the casualties, the LGBT community has suffered even worse than ever before. Where everyone lost their jobs, many became unemployed, homeless, the daily wage workers became even poorer and are living on roadside. The girls working in household jobs became lost their work, in such scenarios, the LGBT community which was already suffering huge discrimination and difficulties in finding proper jobs, employment, education, living, saw the worst parts of their lives, where no food, no money, no house, no water. The covid-19 pandemic has caused the worst damage to the LGBT community and now its even difficult to lift them out of the poverty and off such an adverse situation. In India, the present scenarios clearly implies that now, we must take strict actions against all those parties which are a troublemaker to the LGBT community. The current situation in India, is like a nightmare. The Covid-19 situation, the crisis period, the insecurity, the fear of being tested positive for corona virus, lack of awareness and education, exploitation of forced-labor, children, girls etc. All this adds up to more than a well of troubles. The worst affected are the daily-wage workers, girls, poor, middle class, and the LGBT community. Out of these if we talk about not even able to get access to any facility, is the LGBT community. The LGBT community has suffered beyond our imagination, and still not even able to come out of it. During this pandemic, and crisis the LGBT community has seen the darkest side of the world, where they can’t even have access to education, health care, jobs and employment. The society has neglected and ignored the LGBT community, as if their existence is opposed by the God. People have no idea what the LGBT community have seen in their lives and what will come in distant future. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender are struggling majorly because of the stigma and superstition in the society, and nothing else. People here in this country do not realize the pain of others, they just inject pain as much as possible. What we all see is just the upper layer or the roof top, we haven’t seen the bitter reality of the conditions in which the LGBT community live. Hence, its high time to just criticize and think, it’s time to initiate plans and take actions to assist LGBT community and other people as well to come out of such issues.

SITUATION OF LGBTQ IN INDIA: SUFFERING OR PRIDE?

                                  

The current situation in India, is like a nightmare.

LET'S CEASE HOMOBHOBIA - KNOW HOW?

  We have always been exposed to certain gender signifiers regarding colors, piercings, hair length, body building and the list goes on. We tend to always assign a color to femininity and masculinity, namely pink and blue. How often you come across people gifting dolls to little boys? These created norms the society has bound us with since a very early stage seem to have made us reluctant to accept the people that we see not following them. In terms of awareness we may appear to be ascending but in terms of practical approach, we descend. While giving the LGBTQ+ community legal rights we push them forward but rise in hate crime rate push them down. Protests, rallies for dignity in society seems to uplift them but rigidity in terms of feminine and masculine plunges it down. Willingness to post about LGBTQ awareness shows open-mindedness  but reluctance to allow them part of your social group proves the intolerance. Accepting everyone has freedom to express themselves in the way that they want is aflame but to be weirded out by cross dressing is shame. 

Every person regardless of the fact to which religion they belong, what ideals the believe in, what choice they prefer, what section of the society they belong to and which ever gender/race/sexuality they belong to have the right to be treated human but still honor killings, prejudice, bullying, rapes, marginalization, social exclusion still prevail in our society with the ratio in rural areas being more than in urban areas, people tend to look down upon them as they are not "normal" but how can someone define normal as being normal is highly subjective. What you consider normal may not be normal to someone else and everyone should respect that but not harass them for being different. People consider being part of LGBTQ community as socially and biological unacceptable, a mental disorder ,a disease, a 'phase' that one will eventually get over but it's high time we realize that these conventional and orthodox views are long gone and that it is toxic and highly erroneous to still support them.

All of us in some ways make efforts no matter how small can help increase LGBTQ+ dignity and awareness. To stop bullying, to speak against homophobia, to not use offensive slurs against them, to educate the uneducated and try to change the boundaries of the conventional society can be of great impact. How others treat someone is who they are but how we react is who we are and we must act on what is right no matter if the majority follow the wrong. Being aware regarding the genders, pronouns and sexualities is in welfare of us as a whole. To do the least, let's accept everyone and respect them. How difficult can it be to treat people with kindness or just not to look upon them as a disgrace? Let us all give in our effort to create a society where nobody needs coming out videos to show who they are.

PREDICAMENT OF ATHENA

It was a cold night in the spring of 580BCE, Dionysos, a peasant in the realm of Attika was strolling on the beach, it was a long and hard day and he had toiled under his master for long, he sat on the beach wondering about his life, thoughts filled his head, he had made up his mind to leave slavery, he thought that he could slowly earn money and buy back his freedom. While his head flooded with thoughts, waves crashed on huge ships in the distance, they were triremes, ever-present to remind the people that they were safe under the watchful eyes of Themistocles, their elected king. The ships were coming closer, for a second Dionysos thought it was weird but gave no second thought to it, after a while, the ships became clearer, they were red in color, peculiar as the ships blessed by Athena were all bright blue, there was no mistake, he thought to himself, those were Trojan ships. The Trojans had attack where and when nobody expected. It was the Olympics, the Trojans had broken the truce, those brutes! At first Dionysos thought of his family, what would happen of his beautiful wife and his child to be, will they all be enslaved by the armies of Troy and sold in the Agoras and bazaars of Ionia? Will he be subjugated to build the walls of Troy, what would happen of his dreams to finally break off his shackles as a Helot and become a free man? No, he couldn’t sit still, he had to do something, so he did what a coward would, but with the heart of a brave man. He started running towards the capital, he had to inform the Athenians about what was to come, the ships weren’t far, it wouldn’t have taken even another hour for them to land their troops onto Attika. Athens was a hundred and twenty stadia away, it would take any normal man an hour but the determination in him gave him the might of Achilles, he ran and ran till his bare soles bled dry, he barely felt them and on he went into Athens, through the marvelous gate bulwarking the city from the walls he went in and raced up the Parthenon, he came to the feet of the Statue of Goddess Athena and shouted, “Save us oh goddess, Trojans at Marathon!” This did the trick, the city was put on alert and the gates were barricaded, still a problem bothered Themistocles, though Athens’ walls could hold, the food supply couldn’t, the Trojans would pillage and slaughter the countryside of Attika and Athens would be laid siege to, the fall would come, so he made the hard decision to meet the invaders in the field and stop them in their tracks.

Themistocles urged his Corinthian and Thebian allies to send help, messengers were quickly dispatched. Whatever ships could be mustered were readied and deployed out of Piraeus harbor, it was a sight to behold as the magnificent ships moved in formation, exiting the bay. The bright blue lines they formed looked like very ink that writ the pages of Athenian democracy, unlike those Trojans who laid their lives for despots and tyrannics. Themistocles led his army, he was more of a bureaucrat than a warrior, but he knew that his presence would mean a lot for morale, the Athenian army raced to Marathon, eight hundred men strong led by a contingent of a hundred horsemen, the pearl white steeds rode by well-trained Athenians, famously known as the Centaurs. About halfway through, the army started crossing the forest, the most direct path was through it. As the going was slow, the heavy Athenian armor got bogged down but just then, with ghostly footsteps and the sound of cracking leaves as the only warning, bearing down on the Athenians came the enemy soldiers, they were Persian soldiers, their robes indicated that they were immortals, highly trained and the best that Persia had to offer. Quick and agile, the terrain favored the enemy while the Athenian preference for armor and shields didn’t help in that situation. Themistocles’ bodyguards fought off the attack, the army had taken a beating, Themistocles still kept marching forward. It was now clear to him that with the Persians on Troy’s side, the battle would be one to delay the invasion, not to stop it. He finally reached Marathon, from the rocky heights he could see that the Trojan ships had completed their amphibious landing and a lot of the troops had landed. The ships numbered vast and the Athenian Navy would take another few hours to reach, with his men being outnumbered more than ten to one, he tried to set up defenses, but the Trojans didn’t sit idle, knowing that the Athenian navy might reach anytime, the Trojans struck, trying to push their advantage, the fighting was fierce but alas most of the Athenian army had been slaughtered to a man, the only ones to live to tell the tale were the centaurs, who on Themistocles’ orders, retreated back with him to Athens. They reached Athens, the news of the defeat had sparked panic in the city, the now crowded city, as most of the country had been moved in the protection of Athena’s walls. Themistocles was too busy urging allies to send immediate help, vacating all the messengers he could to all nearby forts, outposts and friendly cities and empires, still, it could be weeks before any major force from Lakonia or Corinth, the two most powerful allies, could be sent. Others in Themistocles’ court had other solutions, one especially Aristides, his greatest critic and political rival thought of what Athenians did best, pray to Athena. 

The statue of Athena, fifty cubits in height, standing atop the already immensely tall fort of the Parthenon, dominated the city from above, so around it, the whole slew of priests walked in a circle, around the Parthenon complex, fulfilling every rite to satisfy Athena. Incense, oils, papyrus and gold, all those important to the gods had been arranged for. Soon enough, the citizens joined standing inside and around the circle of priests, chanting along prayers. On the other side of the city Themistocles saw the enemy arrive, the Trojans, joined by a numerous army of Persians, allied to defeat Athens, and more importantly, Athenian democracy, the rise of which had been giving them troubles due to civic strife in their own lands. The troops were spread thin and eventually, on of the gates crumbled against the might of the battering rams that Persian engineers had constructed so wisely. The first of the men to break inside Athens’ walls, a feat not achieved since they were built, was the Trojan commander and apparent heir to the dynasty, Hector. The trickle from the gate soon meant that a flood would follow, Themistocles had to make the hard choice of keeping a few men to sacrifice themselves and hold the gates while he and the rest of his army pulled back to the walls of the Parthenon, the tall steps leading up to it the only bulwark between the Athenians and their invaders. The prayers had seemed to have gone into vain, led astray. Still, Themistocles reluctantly joined the prayer, how could he pray with inner peace when he say the very thing he worked his entire life for, the city he had nurtured, crumble against invaders? Just then, a massive storm rolled in, the likes of which no mortal had yet seen, it came from the northwest, moving from over Mt. Olympus. The rain spelled liquid as hard as hail and the storm so massive that even the sky trembled in its presence. The clouds along with the storm and rain formed an incredible sight, it was the silhouette of a man, well-built and dressed in robes, things as strong as Achilles and arms as vast as Hades, when lightning struck, it illuminated the silhouette into a shadow, it could not be missed, it was the very pater of Athena, it was Zeus himself descending from the heavens! The people were in awe and shock, commanders of both sides grinned assuming typically that god was on their side but Zeus had seemed to have sided with his favorite daughter.

Lightning struck the ground, which responded with massive upheaval and tremors, where the ground had been struck, beasts emerged out by tearing the earth, they were cyclopes, massive one-eyed beasts, beautifully adorned but just as merciless and daunting from the inside, they started slashing through the Trojan armies, the Persians, completely indifferent to Greek culture had not known what the beast was but such a sight would terrify anyone. Soon enough, Hector and his armies were killed. The rest of the armies and supplies, still on the beaches had fled, seeing the cyclops from that distance, towering over the omnipresent Athena. The city had been defended, the cyclops collapsed back into the void they emerged from, the ravage of the storm ended and Zeus disappeared as mysteriously as he had emerged, some citizens couldn’t believe their eyes, others felt patriotic on the fact that Zeus had sided with them. Aristedes, the never quitting opponent to Themistocles left Athens that very day, he set out for Mount Olympus and determined to do the impossible task of climbing to its great heights, for Themistocles, he knew had a difficult few days ahead, it was not the first or last time that Athens had to be rebuilt, but it was definitely the first for him after having been protected by Zeus.

NTSE STAGE 2 POSTPONED: NEW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED ON 24TH OCTOBER 2021

 NTSE STAGE 2 POSTPONED: NEW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED ON 24^TH

OCTOBER 2021

NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24^th October 2021.

According to the information provided by NCERT Professor and Head, Dr. Indrani S Bhadhuri, NTSE 2020-21 Stage 2 exam was scheduled on 24^th October, 2021. The admit cards were released on 8^th October and the students were hoping that NTSE will be conducted on right time this year. But now, the NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24^th October 2021.

Reasons why NTSE got postponed:-

1.    75% of the districts in Kerala are under red or orange alert due to massive and unexpected floods. The exam center Kendriya Vidyalaya, Thiruvananthapuram is itself a victim of floods as water logging has occurred in that area.

2.    In Uttarakhand, students from off districts like Chamoli have no access to reach Dehradun, the only exam center in the state due to heavy landslides in the state.

3.    Admit Cards of many students from Tripura, Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir and Meghalaya have yet not been uploaded on official website. The candidates were asked to get a photocopy of blank admit card in the exams, which was causing a lot of problem.

     NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24^th October 2021.

New Dates of NTSE Stage 2:-

The expected dates for NTSE stage 2 are either 7^th November or 14^th November. The NCERT officials said, keeping in accordance with KVPY (Kishor Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojna), if exam is conducted on 7^th November. The NCERT officials said that they are trying to conduct the exam as soon as possible due to TERM-1 exams of various education boards, including CBSE. Physics HOD of Aakash Institute recommended students to focus on JEE and NEET preparation, because most of questions in NTSE stage 2 generally belong to topics coming in Term-1 exams of class 11. NCERT officials have scheduled an urgent press conference on Thursday 10 AM, we are expecting them to release the new dates of NTSE stage-2.

SCIENTISTS REVEAL WHEN WILL COVID-19 END

The Corona Virus Disease, popularly known as COVID-19, first appeared on this heavenly planet Earth on 31st December 2019, in the Chinese city of Wuhan. It has been one of the most deadliest viruses which has questioned the existence of humankind.  In a latest research held in London by the International Medical Institutions which included the international Royal Medical Institute of the United Kingdom, scientists have got to know about one of the most shocking things about CORONA, which has given an answer to the question, that it will never end.

Let me first tell you what exactly have they found out in the research. From day one, we all had been told that this deadly Virus spreads through droplets when someone sneezes. This meant that only if you were in the vicinity of a COVID patient, will you have any chance of getting infected with COVID. But now, this has been proved wrong. The researchers found out that Corona Virus spreads through air and it has now been kept in the category of air-borne diseases. 

When will COVID-19 end? In coming years, when all the world will be vaccinated, we will be able to develop herd immunity. But the resent cases in India and America about COVID infections after both doses of vaccine indicates that COVID can never end if we rely on herd immunity. Recently, ex prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh was found positive in COVID research. Unfortunately, senior doctors have said that this COVID will never end in future for atleast 15-20 years. Just like mild diseases like Dengue, Malaria, Swine Flu, Severe Cough, Yellow Fever etc., it will spread in all parts of world every few year. But after vaccination programs, its intensity will be low, and only a part of society, who live an ultra-luxurious life will have any chance to get infected by it. Rest, the majority of us, who live in towns, and earn our living by working hard, will not be a vulnerable target of COVID-19.  

So what can we do to end it? Before killing Corona Virus, we have to kill another virus. This is virus of carelessness. Only after we succeed in killing this virus of carelessness, will we be able to win our fight against this virus and free ourselves from the stigma of this pandemic. The best way to be safe is to wear mask even if your country gets very less cases, say only 500 per day. Keep wearing mask for next 2-3 years every time you step out of your house. 

The Story of Success:-

1. Israel- After 50% of its population has been vaccinated, Israel has officially undeclared emergency and has made the mask optional to wear. 

2. United Kingdom- The country where the second COVID variant first arose, has also opened its coffee shops, cafes, cinema houses without mask compulsion.

3. China- China has also removed all kinds of restrictions from Wuhan, the birthplace of Corona.

Perceived Media Gap: The Growth of GODI Media

This article addresses the major concerns related to growing incompetency of today's media. It is very worrisome that India dropped off to 142nd position in World Press Freedom Index, 2020. This article tries to highlight different areas of problem and also strives to come up with remedies. 

Fourth pillar of democracy, Media, is on the verge of epidemic malady. Oh well, this is not the fact which is left untouched, quite possibly every attentive individual may be getting this notion. But this article may bring to you the other side of this defect which is owing its origin from the debris of degrading media. As rightly marked by David Sarnoff that, "Competition brings out the best in product but worst in people", and what we are witnessing is rear end of this phrase. In the race of bringing the news first unto the viewers, the Media is loosing its objectivity. In the contestation to meet their rapacious appetite what Media is doing is tampering with evidences. Media hitherto was working for the good of Nation but at present it is working to enlist maximum possible expediency. What is worst but noteworthy is that there exists a venture in which the State and the Media collaborate to make people ignorant and heedless about the real happenings. 

What Media should really does is opinion making. And there is no problem in that until the personal opinion doesn't intrude. If the happenings around nation is fed as real as it is then there is no objections, but it comes under the contempt when others' considerations are imposed over people. People shall always have the reliable, quantifiable, precise and accurate content to manufacture their opinions. Any mala fide on the side of content creator will certainly have impact on the getter. And this deficiency surely lead to the lapse of imperative obligation which Media swear-in. A vow which have embodied the greater good of mass should never be rendered deception. 

There had been many attempts to put some reasonable regulations and limitations over Media through many legislations but all gone into vain. To name some of the post-independent regulations are - Young Person's(Harmful Publications)Act, 1956; Press Council of India Act, 1965; Cable Television Regulation Act, 1995. But none of them had that potency which was needed to restrict the foul acts of paid news and nexus with political parties, corporates and other such entities. None of the them were capable in keeping the decency, morality and ethics of Media intact.

Benjamin Disraeli had quoted appropriately that, "When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken".

Mistakes were made on both sides, by State and Media. But this does not mean that we should persist in those mistakes. Government, Media and Citizen should collaboratively strive to secure the very end for which they are meant and that is to get everyone out of misery and distress, alongside securing a decent well-being of people. And here I see that in his famous rhetoric piece 'tryst with destiny' our maiden Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, marked it rightly that, "The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and sufferings, so long our work will not be over."   

                                                  

Media should always be dispassionate. It serves as a link between state and its individuals and any default in this will surely channelize its way into delayed misery, which would be lethal. Media should always subserve its goal, which is to transmit the needs of the individuals to authorities, which on their turn needed to make endeavors for realization and accomplishment of that very need. Media is entrusted with the task of harbinger, and this harbinger needs to be neutral for the healthy play of democracy and any omission in this task would be considered deceitful. We are often called biggest democracy of world but this end shall remain unaccomplished until we comprehend that democracy is mere the play of numbers rather it is of mature contemplation. Well the process of getting media rid-off the errors is not scanty task, it will take its own course of time. But what we have to ensure is that the initiation and perpetual march toward our aim should never by hampered by any impediment. This process will be a steady one as no revolution has turned out overnight.

DRAGON'S TRIANGLE - THE NEW BERMUDA TRIANGE

The whole world is aware of the Bermuda Triangle which is in the North Atlantic Ocean and touches U.S.A. and Canada. It’s a mystery, because the planes and ships get attracted towards the surface of the sea and crashes. But a new place which touches Japan in the Pacific Ocean has been discovered. It has been given the name Dragon’ Triangle or Devil’ sea. There also the same thing happens. It was first identified when a Japanese Ship which was sailing there, suddenly got disappeared from the radar. It was later being found that the ship was crashed. It happened with helicopter also crashed into the sea. As Japan is so rich and developed, it wanted to know what was happening there. A team of researchers, divers and engineers was sent there to study the place. But it was the last journey of the team, while returning their ship broke into pieces. Japan paid a high price, but still it wanted to know about the science of the place. It once again sent a team, but this time there were only divers and a few scientists who would just dive and go underwater to see. The Japanese Government ordered them just go to around the borders of the triangle and come back. The team was given four hours to complete the research. They found strange monuments on the sea bed, more over they experienced time dilation because they took approximately eight hours to come back, but according to them it took only four hours only for them to complete their research. When the Japanese scientists started their study it was being found that the gravitational pull of the earth at that triangular place was high. Also the Bermuda triangle is parallel to the Dragon’s Triangle which divides the earth into two equal halves. Both are located at the center of the earth.

INVESTMENT IN INDIA - BOON OR BANE?

An investment in a developing country (like India) is must for its economic growth. It could be foreign or natives. A foreign investment is an investment in a form of a controlling business in mutual consent with government. Presently India is known as the most important player in the global economy. Initially China was a manufacturing hub but due the outbreak of COVID-19 the big companies started pulling off their set ups and that time India appeared a promising land to them. Rather many international companies on request of the Indian government visited many places in India, and the best example is Tesla. Foreign investments bring economic growth to the country and also enhance the employment. They are more or less impressed by the ways and policies of the government in handling their own native investors who are the backbone of the country. But in these recent days we came to know about Mr. Adar Poona Walla, CEO of SII (serum institute of India) biggest vaccine manufacturer in the world. He had done so much for the country in its toughest time in 2019 when COVID-19 first appeared in India. He came up with lifesaving indigenous vaccine and its allocation is totally under central governments hand he cannot distribute vaccine on his own. But to his dismay he got threatening calls from the riches and goons demanding vaccine unethically. This immense pressure made him flew to London to save his life. Didn’t he feel secure in his own country? Probably yes! This entire incidence was narrated by Mr.Poonawalla to a journalist in London. The question here is how the foreign investors would ever believe our system and policies, how would they feel protected when our very own tycoon has left India and is coming up with a new set up in another company. Are we demeaning our own image by setting an example like this? 

"WHEN YOU RESPECT YOURSELF, THEN OTHERS WILL ALSO RESPECT YOU."

We should always follow this mantra to be successful.

THE PROGRESS IN TODAY'S EDUCATION

The Progress In Today’s Education 

The hand that feeds is bit 

The preceptor who knowledge imparts 

Is snubbed, slighted and twit 

This is the progress in today’s education 

Good qualities are not sought 

Righteousness to the back seat receded 

Right knowledge is not got 

This is the progress in today’s education 

Character is confined to books 

The mind is totally polluted 

Morality is not for them- crooks 

This is the progress of today’s education 

All actions are based on selfishness 

Little thought for other persons 

Ethics is lost in the air with fullness 

This is the progress in today’s education 

People seek luxurious life - very good 

They look about for power & position 

They are in quest of wealth as they would 

This is the progress in today’s education

EXACERBATING CONDITIONS OF WOMEN DURING PANDEMIC

In the words of Mami Mizutori, “disaster amplifies the inequitable aspects of the world we live in”. Each day as it comes to a woman, she lives it, utilizes it and works in it to adequately serve her family; the only goal which she tries to accomplish, irrespective of her job or health. Playing every role flawlessly, fulfilling each responsibility smoothly and multitasking unsurpassably. The world is going through an unprecedented catastrophe which has paralyzed the current socio-economic, political and infrastructural needs difficult to be met. Unknowingly the pandemic has unleashed a number of subsequent ‘Gordian knots’ correspondingly diverting us to the worst.

The deeply entrenched patriarchy in various parts of the world has got a great opportunity to antagonise the society once again by coming into corporeality. The cases of domestic violence, sexual harassment, child marriage, confinements on girl education, inaccessibility of girls to online tools and forceful pressure to do domestic chores are some of the problems which have touched the pinnacle of its existence. The GEM (Global Education Monitoring) Report 2020 by UNESCO states the non-supportive nature towards education during COVID-19 pandemic in 40% economically backward countries. The websites like PEER, have mentioned the continued existence of exploitation in terms of providing education to women. The oppressive social structures have made the online education least effective for girls to get themselves educated. The females are proven to be the worst affected group during this lockdown. The lacuna between the treatment for providing opportunities for educational exploration to only boys and depriving girls from it begins at a very early stage. This is reflected by the 14th ASER (Annual Status of Educational Report) conducted across 26 districts of 24 states has shown a drastic discrepancy in the rate at which the parents prefer to send boys to private school than girls. 56.8% of girls and only 50.4% of boys are sent to government school in contrast to the 43.2% of girls and 49.6% of boys are sent to private schools. The girls are preferably sent to government school while boys to private sector. However during lockdown the propensity to continue the pace of providing education to girls have been disrupted and another set issues are consequently rising like child marriages, pressure to do household chores or many a times inaccessibility to online tools. The report of UN mentions the vulnerability of child marriages to increase during the lockdowns by 4 million and total of about 13 million by the end of next decade. The RTE which mandates the persuasion of education for the age group of 6-14 has been proved to be unviable. 

The economy has experienced a swift slump which has brought turmoil to the lives of the people. According to the data of ILO (International Labour Organization) about 200 million jobs were lost in the initial months of the pandemic. The surge in poverty and economic inequality has resulted in a huge amount of school drop out of about 42%, conducted across few Asian countries by ‘Room to read’ which states that one out of every three girls is at the risk of drop out. These girls, mostly teen girls are forced to indulge themselves in domestic chores and the girls continuing their education are not able to dedicate the time essential for it. A paper under the name of “Whatever she may study, she can’t escape from washing dishes: Gender inequity in secondary education – evidence from a longitudinal study in India'' published under the ‘Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education’ states the amount of time spent by boys and girls respectively for doing domestic chores has about 17.7% gender gap. In the case of contemporary online classes it is evident in the accessibility of online tools and preferential treatment for the same. It is very saddening to know the results of the survey conducted by the Internet and Mobile Association of India that only 30% of Indian users are female. The most heinous fact about the Indian society of not allowing women to have access to mobile phones as it might lead to weakening of control of men over them. It is still prevalent in many parts of India like Phulwari village of Bihar. The lockdown has taken away jobs of many female workers too which has made it difficult for them to survive under their dominating partners who are exploiting them. Even if we are seeing a rise in the number of women as frontline workers, the remuneration given is not equal to that of men. Following this the rate of child marriage has simultaneously soared with an additional increase of about 4 million as warned by UN. Such scenario was earlier visible during the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone and 2008 financial crisis and ended in similar fate. 

Another important matter of urgent attention is escalation of cases of domestic violence. The reports of UNWOMEN states an upsurge of 243 million worldwide in any sort of violence done to women of age group 15 to 49 in a period of 12 months. In countries like France, the government has made arrangements in hotels for women victims of domestic violence .Apart from this, the women are forced to the facilitation of financial situations of the house even though simultaneously expected to organize household chores. British economists like James Meade and Richard Stone have stated the total value of unaccounted household chores which is equal to more than half of world GDP.  The women, however, have other threats too like the sudden uprising in human trafficking. This has been, since time immemorial, the worst form of exploitation a woman could go through. The human trafficking has increased due to the economic challenges chiefly. The landowners in rural areas are traced to be the huge regulators of such unethical actions. During these COVID times, online harassment against other forms of exploitation has spiked up by more than five times as per NCW (National Commission for Women) mentions. Many women are also facing reproductive threats as they are being abstained from obtaining the health facilities available. Their mental health is also a concern of great attention. 

It is our impeccable fortune that we are able to read articles or probably write and continue our studies even during the worst; not forgetting the exposure of opportunity that we possess. It should be our prime duty to respect such a luxury and share our resources pro-bono and break the confrontations of factors leading to the rise of such crimes. It is highly appreciable if our opportunities can be utilized for the betterment of the whole society.

COVID V/S HUMANITY

The COVID– 19 pandemic in India is a part of the world wide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019. Unfortunately, India has the largest number of confirmed cases in Asia currently, which account to around 20 million. It is witnessing the second wave from March 2021. The major causes of second wave were election rallies, Kumbh Mela and increase reluctance amongst citizens, were proved out to be super spreaders. The surge in COVID cases and fatality rates were highest in the world. Our health care system is overburdened not only by the increase numbers of cases but by the shortage of oxygen, masks, PPE kits, sanitizers and various lifesaving medicine.

Though Indian government is trying to get the oxygen and medicines by taking help from other countries and also installing new oxygen plants and turning all industrial oxygen into medical oxygen. But there is a popular saying “GHAR KA BHEDI LANKA DHAYE”. When people are finding it difficult to get hospital beds and medicines, when there are cries everywhere in houses and hospitals, so much heart breaking that we can’t hold our tears back. Yet there are few people in country who forgot about humanity , became so insensitive that despite this catastrophe they are more into filling up their bags by black mailing the needy people by selling oxygen cylinder , fake medicines at sky high prices without even considering the financial and mental status of the person . This mal practice after coming in the notice of the administration is facing strict action and the police has started grabbing them. Even people are leaving old parents on the road, they are not ready to go to crematorium to perform last rites just with the thought that they might contract the infection. I am sure that this suffering will be over our globe will be free from corona. But what about these vultures who have lost themselves in making the money. We have become so greedy, so self-centered that we have lost the purpose of our lives on this planet.

Is this the world that we wanted to live in? But yes every coin has two sides when we hear of one news of negativity we come to hear a positive news too. We have people those who are giving unconditional support. We have heard about a lot in newspaper and in social media about the work they are rendering to the society. In the Guruduwara’sthey have kept langers from where they supply unlimited to covid affected families round the clock. They are giving oxygen to people in need, in their cars or autos, free medicines and free ambulance service. Just like them many NGOs and industrialist have come to reduce the sufferings of the societies. After looking at such incidences. I am sure humanity is still alive and god always send his messengers in one or another way.

Hence “ MANAVTA KI MAHANTA MANAV HONE MEIN NAHI MANVIYA HONE MEIN HAI”

EMPOWERING WOMEN IN THE MARITIME COMMUNITY

EMPOWERING WOMEN IN THE MARITIME COMMUNITY

Harassment, Embarrassment, Disappointment, Maltreatment; all these were what Simbi faced not because she was an unexpected last child in her family of ten, but all because she was a girl. A girl child lonely and sadly treading the slippery path of womanhood.  Now, Simbi is a young woman but still, nothing has changed. However, while walking aimlessly down the street, she met Bimsi who introduced her to the concepts of Maritime community and Gender equality.

Bimsi told Simbi that according to the Cambridge English Dictionary, Maritime refers to activities connected with the sea. Then, Gender equality, the fifth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), aims at empowering women and girls, who are being groomed to be women. This same goal has been receiving attention through the years and will continue to do so as according to an article by United Nations on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), more than a hundred countries have taken action to track budget allocations for gender equality. Girls and women are being educated and empowered to engage in more jobs so as to prevent them from being exploited or maltreated in any way hence, the need to empower women in the Maritime sector, which is conventionally seen as the world of men.

The very first way through which women can be empowered in the Maritime sector is through awareness and sensitization of the activities of the sector. Having established the meaning of the concepts, Bimsi informed Simbi of the activities that make up the Maritime sector. Referring to an article titled “Nigerian Maritime Industry” posted on January 17, 2019 on www.proshareng.com, she told her that the maritime industry includes all enterprises engaged in the business of designing, constructing, manufacturing, acquiring, operating, supplying, repairing and maintaining vessels; of managing and operating shipping lines, customs brokerage services, shipyards, dry docks, marine railways, marine repair shops, shipping and freight forwarding services and similar enterprises. Just like Bimsi did, the Maritime community should put efforts into publicizing the industry and what it entails. Women should also be enlightened on the opportunities that abound in the Maritime sector. There should be elaborate information on the activities of the Maritime community. Doing this will make people especially women aware of events in the industry thus bringing them a step closer to the world of Maritime just like Simbi. Simbi thus began her journey to the Maritime world.

Moving on, most women have the orientation that the Maritime sector is a place for men and this should be corrected. Only a few women, according to www.crewtoo.com, delve into Maritime affairs thus, to enable more women do so, their view of the Maritime industry as a man’s world should be corrected. Women should also be helped in changing their perception of themselves and things going on around them. They should be encouraged to view things in a positive way. This is because without women having the right orientation, educating them is similar to watering a plant planted on a rock. Women should also change the way they view themselves. Simbi was also affected with a bad orientation and it should be noted that if not for the encouraging words of Bimsi, Simbi would have given up her journey to the Maritime world. The Maritime sector should also join hands with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in helping to motivate women not to see themselves as subordinate to men. They should be taught to rise and take charge though in a positive way. It is no news that with the right orientation to working in the Maritime sector, women will be more than efficient.

Also, women should be encouraged to acquire quality education in the field of Maritime for Malcolm X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” The future of the Maritime sector is as bright as a lark and education is the means through which women need to access it so as to be parties and contributors to the bright future of tomorrow. Women should be enlightened on the opportunities that abound in getting educated in line with Maritime; they should also be encouraged to put their all into making sure they get right and quality education. Bimsi did just this as she encouraged Simbi and made sure the latter acquired quality education in the field of Maritime. The Maritime sector should also make sure that scholarship opportunities are available for women like Simbi so as to encourage them in their pursuit of Maritime education.

Closely related to acquiring quality education is the need to acquire training in the field of Maritime. Trainings should be organized by the Maritime organizations in order to improve women’s knowledge of the Maritime industry, its nooks and crannies. During these trainings, women should be exposed to the other things they need to know with respect to Maritime. Experienced persons in the field of Maritime should be employed to train them thoroughly. The fees of these trainings should also be subsidized if not free for the likes of Simbi. Likewise, the Maritime community should put all efforts into this training so that at the end of the day, efficient and knowledgeable women would be produced.

In addition, women can be empowered in the Maritime sector by the changing of the orientation of the companies themselves. Companies should not discriminate against women during employment processes. They should not set apart jobs for women because they think that is where they can fit into rather, women should be allowed to try their hands at numerous jobs. They should not rate men higher than women for when Simbi was narrating her experience during her job interview and later her work experience to Bimsi, she kept on hammering on the point that, in her workplace, men were rated higher and respected far more than the women who were even fewer in number.

In conclusion, there are a lot of opportunities in the Maritime sector thus; women such as Simbi should be given the opportunity to maximize these numerous opportunities to their full potentials. Doing the above will go a long way in improving the number of women in the Maritime community. Encouraging women to get involved in the Maritime sector will go a long way in building the confidence of women in the society. Encouraging women to delve into the affairs of the Maritime community will go a long way in putting a stop to discrimination against women. Encouraging women’s involvement in the world of Maritime will go a very long way in improving gender equality.

Traditional v/s Progressive Education : The Real Difference

The History of Educational Theory is marked by the opposition between the concept that Education is Development from within and it's the Formation from without, that's based upon natural endowments which the Education is process of overcoming natural inclination and substituting in its place habits acquired under external pressure. 

At Present, The Opposition; up to now as Practical affairs of the college are concerned, tends to require the shape of contrast between Traditional & Progressive Education. If the Underlying Ideas of the previous are formulated broadly, without the qualifications required are as follows: - the topic matter of the Education consists of bodies of data and of skills that are discovered within the past; therefore chief business of the college is to transmit them to new generation. Within the Past, There have also been developed standards and rules of conduct; moral training consists in forming habits of action in conformity with these rules and standards. Finally, the overall Structure of the varsity. (By which I specifically mean the relations of pupils to at least one another, with the teachers and principals as well). These items constitute a college a form of institutions sharply marked far from other any styles of Social Institutions. Call Up in Imagination, the standard classrooms; it is time schedules, schemes of classification of examinations and promotions, of rules of the Order, etc. and that i think one will grasp what's meant by "Pattern of Organization". The most purpose or objective is to arrange the young for future Responsibilities and for fulfillment in Life, by means of acquisition of the organized bodies of the knowledge and ready kinds of skills which comprehend from the fabric handed down from the past, the attitude of the pupils must, upon the full, be one amongst the docility, receptivity and obedience. Books, especially textbooks, are the chief representatives of the lore and wisdom of the past, while teachers are the organs through which pupils are brought into effective reference to the fabric. Teachers are the most important source for the transfer of knowledge and implementation of conduct. This Summary has not been made for the aim to criticize the underlying philosophy. The increase of what's called New Education and Progressive Schools is itself a product of discontent of the latter. When the implied criticism is formed explicit it reads somewhat as follows: - the normal Scheme is, In Essence, one in every of imposition from above and from outside. It imposes adult standards, subject material, and methods upon people who are only growing slowly towards maturity. The gap is so great that, the methods of learning and behaving are foreign to the present capacities of the Young Mind and Heart. They’re beyond the reach of the Experience the Young Learners already possess. Consequently, they need to be imposed; although good teachers will use devices of art to hide up the imposition so on relive it of obviously brutal features. A Fact cannot be denied that the scenario of Education has completely revolutionized and has become a part of Capital Making; the players within the segment justify Their Existence to meet and match the worldwide Standards of So Called Progressive Education. But the gulf between the mature or adult products and also the Experience and skills of the young is so wide that the very situation forbids much active participation by pupils within the development of what's taught. Theirs is to do- and learn, because it was a part of 600 to try and do and die. Learning here means acquisition of what already is incorporated in books and within the heads of the elders. Moreover, that which is taught is believed of as essentially static. It’s taught as a finished product with little regard either to the ways within which it absolutely was originally built up or to changes that may occur within the future. it's to an oversized extent the cultural product of societies that assumed the longer term would be very similar to the past, and yet it's used as an Educational Food in an exceedingly society where change is that the rule, not the exception. An informed Individual is one who should be able to contribute to the economic & Social Development of the globe at large. Verity Goal of Education transcends much beyond awarding the degrees and certificates to the pupils. Education isn't only a tool to earn the livelihood but it's the sole thanks to liberate the Mind & Soul of the Person.
