MARRIAGES LAW (AMENDMENT BILL)

Amendments always bring revolutions and so the same does the Marriage Law (Amendment) Bill. It has made the divorce more critical for the men and friendlier for the women. It’s a gift from the government to the womanhood. It has made men in a fix.

This amendment bill has dropped the number of divorce cases throughout the country. Lawyers and their female clients are waiting for the proposed Marriage Law (amendment).

What’s new in this bill:-

Several renovations have proposed to be done through this bill. Some of them are:-

• ·         Marriage Law (amendment) bill provides for the wife getting share in the husband’s immovable property after the”irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage.
• ·         It seeks to empower the courts to decide the compensation amount from the husband’s inherited and inheritable property for the wife and the children once the marriage legally ends.
• ·         The bill allows both parties to file the divorce on the ground of “irretrievable breakdown of marriage”. For this both the parties have to live apart for at least 3 years.
• ·         If the court is satisfied that the adequate provision for maintenance of children has not been made consistently with the financial capacity of the parties to the marriage on the ground of “irretrievable breakdown” of marriage.
• ·         The wife has the right to oppose the grant of divorce on the ground that the dissolution could result in grave financial hardship.
• ·         Divorce is gender neutral, but, right over property will not be; as only wife can claim on husband’s immovable property.
• ·         The court can take an ex-parte on granting divorce if any of the two parties refuses to move a joint application.
• ·         Husbands can too move courts for irretrievable breakdown of marriages.

Law minister Kapil Sibal said that it is “a historic peace of legislation” in a patriarchal society like India; where women, who constitute 50 percent of the population, own only 2 percent of the assets.

This bill after coming into force will definitely bring revolution in the patriarchal country like ours. The womanhood will be blessed by this amendment bill and they could fight for their rights with new dimensions.

But, some people still think that it’s a one-sided bill. They fear that this law may be misused by the women like many other laws. But, in reality this will certainly bring revolution in the status of the women of India.

Hum dharmveer, hum karmveer,
hum yudhveer, Bharatwasi.
karte hum garv ahinsa par,
hum shantiveer Bharatwasi.Hum hain saahas, himmat waale,
hum aafat ke parkaale hain.
hum toofano se takraate,
hum Bharat ke rakhwale hain.

Humne pairon se ronda hai,
parvat ke unche shikhron ko.
aur machalna sikhlaaya hai,
sagar ki chanchal leharon ko.

Hum dekh nahi ghabraate hain,
aayein kitani bhi baadhayein,
hum aage badhate jaate hain,
jab tak manjil na paa jaayein.

Hum saral hirdya hum kaaljayi,
mann mein rakhte Kaaba Kashi,
hum dharmveer, hum karmveer
hum yudhveer bharatwasi.

We at Indian Diurna wishes all the Bharatwasi a very Happy Republic day. Be proud of being a bharatwasi . Celebrate the happiness of India being a Gantantric and Swatantra  Secular country. Terrify the terrorists; tell them that we are not afraid of them because we are the Bharatwasi, a live symbol of unity in diversity.  

The 16th general election is close in; the discussion about the development in the field of social, political and economical sphere is in news nowadays and will continue in the near future. In coming days these discussions will be more intense and animated. Opinions are strongly divided on the state of poverty, economic growth, unemployment and redistribution, effectiveness of government in past and coming years, functioning of democracy, status of women, class differentiation, child development etc. When we talk about India’s democracy, one question comes in our mind that ‘has India’s democracy been a success?’’ When we talk about society, question arise “Does caste still matter in India?” Question regarding women development, poverty, unemployment, economic growth came in our mind. And ultimately we find ourselves in no place to stand.

According to the International Corruption Perception Index, India is the 94th in the world. Do you know ,what keeps it under the top 100 rank?? The answer is not beyond our expectations. Our rulers i.e. the Political Parties; our defenders, the police; the Supreme authority of our country i.e. the Parliament and legislature; our administrators i.e. the civil servants and very surprisingly even our Education System is also under the influence of corruption by more than 50%. All these data are not very old; this is the evaluation of the last year i.e. 2013. Think about it, if our whole system is so much corrupt how we could step forward towards development. It’s the matter of relief that only 20% of the military are corrupt. At least our LOC is safe from the devil of corruption. We bow to the honest and devoted spirit of Indian Army who always followed their slogan ”SEVA ASMAKAM DHARMA”.

 

                     THE INDIAN TRIBES

Tribal development policy in India from its starting has always been surrounded by contradiction because still the tribal communities are unable to get the benefits of mainstream development. Though there are a large number of well meaning constitutional provisions and laws aimed at protecting and safeguarding the welfare and interest of tribal communities, the process of marginalization of the tribal’s has gone on unchallenged. The reason for this marginalization is the law themselves.

Development of tribes is necessary for the growth and development of the NATION. After the new economic policy adopted by the government in 1991 and moving towards the growth process, a widening gap between the goals of national development and tribal development has emerged. All these developments led to large scale alienation of land from tribes to non-tribes through such processes and means as fraud, deceit, mortgage etc. though nationalist leadership showed special concern for the tribes in the post-independent India.

Tribes as citizens of free India were extended civil, political and social rights in equal measures as others. Civil and political rights have been given in the purview of Fundamental Rights in Indian constitution while social rights have been given in Directive principles of state policy. Tribes were also given some special rights as being member of distinct community. Such rights include provisions for statutory recognition (article 342); proportionate representation in parliament and state legislature (article330 and 332); restriction on the right of the ordinary citizen to move freely or settle in particular area or acquire property in them (article 19(5)); conservation of one’s language, dialects and culture, etc (article29).

The constitution also has a clause that enables the state to make provision for reservation in general (article 14(4)) and in particular, in jobs and appointments in favour of tribal communities (article 16(4)). The directive principles of the constitution that requires the educational and economic interest of the weaker sections of society, including tribes is especially promoted (article 46). Article 244 and 244 (a) empowers the state to bring the area inhabited by the tribes under special treatment of administration.

Constitutional provision range from creation of the scheduled and tribal areas, to providing representation in parliament and the state legislature including special privileges in the form of representation of certain percentage of posts in government services and seats in educational institutions. Protective discrimination has been seen as one of the most important rights given to tribal people. It earmarked 7.5 percent of the jobs in government, semi-government and also educational institutions for people coming from the scheduled tribe category.

Despite all three provisions, the result is far from satisfactory. The tribal community is unable to get the social and economic rights but also the rights over land and forest were taken away from them which they enjoyed. It is well established fact that tribes live mainly off land and forest. Yet, the process of capturing and alienation of land that began during British rule has gone unchallenged in the post-independence period. Although different laws have been enacted in almost all the states where there are tribal population.

Two important laws have been enacted in more recent years one was Panchayat Act, 1996 and the other one is the Scheduled Tribe and other Traditional Dweller Act, 2006. Under the above law the major concern has been their welfare and development.

It is very harsh that despite a large number of well meaning constitutional provisions and laws aimed at protecting and safeguarding the welfare and interest of tribal communities, the process of marginalization of the tribal’s has gone on unchallenged.

       THE CRIMINAL AND HIS VICTIM

The emergence of victim of crime as an object of study is largely the product of past sixty years. In 1937 Benjamin Meldelsohn started the scientific study of victims of crime, and introduced “the science of victim”, for which in 1947 he coined the term ”Victimology”(1956). Later on in 1948, the other or the second forefather Von Hentig , published his book:” The Criminal and his Victim”.

The concept of victim, one of the ancient of humanity emerges from the concept of justice. Victim belongs to all cultures because it is significantly connected with the idea and practice of sacrifice. May religions were fundamentally sacrificial. Early ritual literature from all religions of the world provides clues to the study of sacrifice and of its victims. Human, Divine, Animal or inanimate, Mythological and Epic sources provide ample evidence to the existence of different types of sacrifice and victims and they include clear symbolic elements that are connected to the rituals and process.

Societal and financial support for crime victims has a long history, dating back to Babylonian times and the establishment of the Code of Hammerabi, “An Eye for an eye, a Tooth for a tooth......”

Victimology  is  science  of  study  of  the  relationship  between  victims  and  violators  of  law  or  offenders.  Government  has  recently  reinforced  this  political  commitment  in  the  form  of  funds  for  the  National  Association  of  Victim  Support  Schemes (NAVSS).  In  1964,  when  the United  Kingdom  became  one  of  the  1^st  countries  to  establish  a  policy  commitment  to  victims  of  crime  in  the  form  of  criminal  injuries  compensation  Board.

The    victim is the forgotten man of our criminal justice system.  He  sets  the  criminal  law  in to  motion  but  then  goes  into  oblivion.  The  present  code  of  criminal  procedure  does  not  recognize  the  right  of  victim  to  take  part  in  the  prosecution  of  the  case  instituted  on  the  basis  of  police  report. The  victim  is  merely  a  witness  in  a  State  versus  case.  He  has  no  rights  to  prefer  appeal  against  the  order  of  acquittal  of  the  accused  by   trial  court  in   a  criminal  case  started  by  State.  The  State  reserves  the  discretion  not  to  prefer  and  also  to  withdraw  from  the  prosecution  even  in  heinous  offences.  The  victim  of  crime  becomes the  victim  of  our  criminal  justice  system  when  the  political  motivated  investigation  agency  or  prosecuting  agency  shows  lack  of  interest   or  apathy  in  the  matter  of  investigation  or  prosecution  on extraneous  consideration.

Legislation  conferred  jurisdiction  on the  criminal  courts  under  section  357(3)  of  the  code  of  criminal  procedure  for  awarding  unlimited  amount  of  compensation  to the  victims  at  the  time  of  passing  judgment  of  conviction. The  General  Assembly  of  the  United  Nation’s  has recommended  payment  of  compensation  to  the  victims  of  crime  by  the  State,  when  compensation  is  not  fully  available  from  the  offender or  other  sources. Payment  of  compensation  to  the  victims  of  crime  for  any  injury  caused  to  him  has  not  been  institutionalized  under the  Indian  Penal  Laws.  Nor  any  legal  right  to  be  compensated  has  been  created  in  favour  of  the  victim. In  case  of   irreversible  injury  monetary  compensation  is  the  sole  effective  remedy. In  India   there  is  neither  a  comprehensive  legislation  nor  a  statutory  scheme  providing  for  compensation  by  State  to  offender  to  victims  of  crime.

Right  of  the  rape  victim  to  receive  compensation  flows  from  Art.21  of  the  constitution.  Every  court  has jurisdiction  to   grant  compensation  not  only  at  the  final  stage  of  trial  but  also  to  award  interim  compensation  at  any  interlocutory  stage   of  trial. :    The   police,  court  and  lawyers  should  come  forward  to  provide  all  sorts  of  assistance  to  victims  of  rape.  Courts must deal with such cases with utmost sensitivity. The  court  should  examine  the  broader  probabilities  of  case  and  not  get  swayed  by  minor  contradictions  or  insignificant  discrepancies  in  witness  statements.  The  court  should  also  provide  adequate  financial  assistance  to  the  victim  of  rape.

Until recently, victims were not studied.  They tended to be seen as passive recipients of the criminal’s greed or anger, “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”  The study of victims, known as victimology, has resulted in theoretical and research studies, and an awareness of the victim has grown in the public consciousness.  There is now recognition that victims have traditionally not been treated particularly well by the criminal justice system.  Victims suffer not only during the crime, but that there are also sometimes physical and psychological complications.

The victim is essentially an inseparable part of crime. Therefore the phenomenon of crime cannot be comprehensively explained without incorporating the victim of a crime. Crime victim, despite being an integral part of crime and a key factor in criminal justice system, remained a forgotten entity as his status got reduced only to report crime and appear in the court as witness and he routinely faces postponements, delays, rescheduling, and other frustrations. All their means loss of earnings, waste of time, payment of transportation and other expenses, discouragement, and the painful realization that the system does not live up to its ideals and does not serve its constituency, but instead serves only itself. Many believe that the victim is the most disregarded participant in criminal justice proceedings.

          WHY NOT DEATH PENALTY TO RAPISTS??

Following the brutal gang rape of a 23-year old paramedic’s women in DELHI on December 16,2012 by six persons including a juvenile offender. Justice Verma panel was appointed to took into amendment of law for rape punishment. Justice verma committee’s report released on January 23, 2013 is a seminal document. Even though there was a strong public demand for the death penalty for rapist, chemical castration and change in the juvenile justice act, the penal rejected the popular demands. It means “no death, no mercy for rapists!! It has sought full life term prison for rapists and has also brought other issues like stalking, material rape, intention touching without consent and the use of obscene word in-to the offence list. They should be treated as sexual assaulter and get 3 to 5 years imprisonment in jail. The penal rejected the demand to reduce the age of juvenile from 18 to 16.

This is not the first case of this kind. There are numerous cases which show that we are not serious for the dignity, respect and honor of the women.

RESPECT THE SURVIVOR

The world health organization standard for treating person who has been sexually assaulted is comprehensive. They take into account the mental and physical conditions of the survivor while prescribing a protocol to the medical staff, forensic experts and investigating agencies. Clear procedures are laid down for every action right from every examination of the victim to the collection and documentation of evidence and the environment in which the victim should be examined.

Unfortunately, in India, there is no protocol laid down or a uniform procedure that is followed in hospital, forensic labs and police situation. No formal training is given to medical staffs in the hospital for the specialized, multi-disciplinary task. Gynecologists are asked to examine victim of rape, and Labor rooms become examination rooms, irrespective of whether the victim is a minor.

In about 70 percent of the cases, the victim knows the offender, so she may be in shook and may completely surrender, which is why there is no signs to struggle.

SUGGESTIONS:

1 .If INDIA wants to end violence against women, the mindset of the society has to be changed.

2. The existing laws lack sensitivity towards women.

3. Fast-track courts all over INDIA must be established to hold quick trials of adultery with consent and rape cases.

4. Most of the working women these days are subject to similar harassment in offices, courtesy their immoral male bosses and their sound-proof chambers. Therefore a high degree of responsibility is cast on persons in authority to practice and maintain the highest standards of rectitude.

5. Liberal portrayal of sex and violence, and vulgar scenes in films and media are also responsible for spurt in sexual crimes. Violent videos are also increasing day by day. Therefore, they should be prohibited.

6. It is high time to include a provision in the existing juvenile justice to amend the law and award death penalty for rape.

7. Investigating officer of an adultery and rape must be women.

8. Since INDIA is a democratic country and our Constitution makers borrowed all the suitable point from other nation constitution. Therefore we feel it right in suggestion to borrow laws and guidelines, pertaining the adultery and rape cases from some other countries.              

THE MASKED DEMOCRACY IN BANGLADESH

Bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries. Its major population lives below the poverty line. They spent their livelihood on less than one dollar a day. The major employment is in agriculture, still it is not able to provide job to the population.

Bangladesh came into existence only in the year 1971, when the two parts of Pakistan - East Pakistan and West Pakistan got split.  Its neighbouring country India played a major role for its independence. In initial stages, Bangladesh spent 15 years under military rule and the Democracy came in 1990. Analyst says that the differences between the two main parties –the Awami League and Bangladesh Nationalist Party- reflect personal differences between the leaders rather than any ideological differences.

Since starting, political tension caused violence that is also found in practice in recent times hundreds of people have been killed in recent years. Attacks have targeted opposition rallies and in public gathering senior opposition figures have also been targeted. The major concern is about the growing religious extremism in usually moderate and tolerant society. Bangladesh has been criticized for its human rights record, with particular concern about assaults on women and allegation that police use torture against those in custody.

In recent elections, which took place in January, a deepening conflict which arises between Bangladesh, two main political parties in which opposition party ( Bangladesh Nationalist Party) boycotted the Bangladesh election after the governing Awami League rejected the demand of B.N.P to put in a place a non partisan caretaker government to oversee the voting, which had been customary in recent years and was seen as a protection against government manipulation.

Because of this it produced a bizarre election, especially given Bangladesh’s tradition of boisterous democracy. Pro-government candidate  ran unopposed in more than half of the parliament’s 300 seats in those districts, local election were not held, leaving 48 million registered voters without any opportunity to vote.

The U.S.A has called for fresh polls in Bangladesh that reflects the will of the people, even as it expressed strong concern over the just concluded general election which it alleged was neither credible nor fair.

“We have been very clear about our strong concerns about the selection and what we think the way forward should be. We believe Bangladesh still has an opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to democracy by organising free and fair election that are credible in the eyes of the Bangladeshi people”. State Department Deputy Spokesperson, MARIE HARF said.

She also said that we did note that we were disappointed by the recent parliamentary elections, especially because so many of the seats were uncontested or only had token opposition. Bangladesh still has a chance to have a different future.

. Yet India, Bangladesh’s giant neighbour and the only foreign power that could have swayed the decision to go ahead with a vote, chose not to intervene. However, India’s decision to give its implicit backing to an election with a predetermined result may prove short-sighted. Anti-Indian sentiment in Bangladesh has already surged.  As conflict worsens, India’s ally, the League, risks being seen as anti-Islamic. Backing Sheikh Hasina’s power grab is likely to give India the opposite of what it wants: a more radical and less secular Bangladesh.

 

After centuries, a personality takes birth who is not only known in his own time,but even after centuries and also after that, he is remembered and will be remembered for his incredible works, the great Swamiji is one of them. He gave a new dimension to the meaning and understanding of religion and soul. No one has got so much success in defining the humanity, morality and ethics.He not only spread his invaluable teachings throughout India but, also throughout the whole world. He worked as a bridge between the Indian culture and the Western culture.
We, on Indian Diurna give a heartiest tribute to our incredible Swami Vivekanand ji

                    BLACK PAGE OF INDIAN JUDICIARY

   

Sexual harassment is an uncomfortable subject to talk about. Every woman who is engaged in any workplace knows that it is a type of daily routine which one has to learn to tackle and has to find the way to come across from it. Many a times it goes beyond tolerance and that is the time when women protest, raise their voice and take the help of law.

One of the important questions which is raised that what happens when they report   crime. In 99 percent of the cases, questions are asked from woman. The official who is investigating the case blame the woman for the incidence. Whether the women raise a hue and cry but she is always asked. At the same time there are many officials who start giving her the character certificate. No one can believe that such a big professional can do such a thing. Ultimately investigating team start concluding that it is the woman’s fault. Either women were doing that or she instigated the person.

This uncomfortable subject once again being in topic after a young woman law graduate charged a retired judge of Supreme Court, Mr. Ganguly under who she interned had done sexual harassment with her. The incident took place in 2012, December when everyone was engaged in the case of brutal gang rape with a 23 year old woman in the same city.

This case is more important than other cases in two ways. First, the accused is a supreme court Judge, although he has retired since the incident. Secondly, it highlights the casual attitude towards sexual harassment that prevails in the hierarchy of violence against woman. Although the apex court in Vishaka case passed way for the sexual harassment of woman at workplace (prevention, prohibition and redressal) Act, 2013. The Supreme Court responded to the complaint by setting up a three judge committee.

Still the case is pending before the Supreme Court. A similar case in which a young woman lawyer has accused a former Supreme Court judge of sexually harassing her while she was interning with him in may 2011. Although in previous case Justice Ganguly was found guilty last month by a panel of Supreme Court of sexually harassing a lawyer. In the latest case, the lawyer, in the complaint to the Chief Justice of India P SANTHASIVAM last month, said that she was sexually harassed on the three occasions by a sitting judge of his residence. Name Swantenter Kumar. Let’s see what happens to the case .P. SANTHASIVAM said that that proper committee will be formed to investigate the case.

At a time when we increase our focus on violence against women in public, it is important to think that sexual harassment at the workplace is also another kind of violence. It always didn’t lead to physical harm. But it destroys a woman inner self. The woman who talks about the sexual harassment couldn’t be believed by the people. At working place colleagues, staffs start blaming them for the same. There are many people who don’t see a hope to get the justice.

We have to keep faith in law although now days the law saver are indulging themselves in these kind of activities. Until people don’t change their moral these kinds of incident will come in our eyes daily.

  

WORLD WIDE REVOLUTION IN RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Surveillance is one of the most helping tools to governments for recognizing threats and prevents criminal activities. But, sometimes this procedure infringes the right of privacy of many innocent persons. Deeply concerned about these negative impacts on the human rights, the United Nations General Assembly has started a new resolution to protect the right of privacy of the innocent people living in different parts. Of the world; named it “Right to Privacy in Digital Age”.

In the General Assembly on December 18, 2013 more than 50 countries including India took part, and 193 members unanimously approved it. The main measure was taken by Brazil and Germany.

Art.21 of the Indian Constitution also ascertains this right in India. In addition to this, Art. 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Art. 17 of the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights State also declare that no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with one’s privacy, family or correspondence. Everybody has the right to protect himself from unnecessary interference.

It’s a new revolution, which ensures and protects the personal liberty of a person. We appreciate the steps taken by the different governments of the world.   

BANK ACCOUNT FOR ALL BY 2016:- A TRUTH OR A LOLLIPOP

In a report made by Committee on Comprehensive Financial Services for Small business and Low-income household, ex-ICICI Bank executive-director Nachiket Mor claimed that by Jan 1,2016, every major citizen of age above 18 years, will have an individual, full-service, safe, and secure electronic bank account. The committee claimed that the way  they are progressing towards the development in every sector , they  will achieve the same in 2016. The two RBI members suggested that the date must be extended to 2018 because it is very difficult to achieve the same up to that period. But it totally depends on the will power of the government, whether they would be able to continue the same pace up to 2016 or not?

But when we look into the reality, almost 60 percent of the Indians didn’t have their accounts in national, private, commercial or any kind of banks .They are still unaware of the services and the rights which they have in the resources of the country. So, how could it be possible to open bank accounts for almost 60 percent of the people of India? The truth behind this is that they don’t have the money circulation or in another words we can say that they don’t have the money in surplus which they can keep in their respective account. Illiteracy plays an important role. Until the government doesn’t provide the basic education and doesn’t make the proper arrangement to uproot poverty and illiteracy by providing proper place to learn and place to earn money. If they will not, the whole project becomes useless and non-functional. No revolution could be made.

The government and RBI claims that the ADHAR number allotted to the citizens will make the loan taking procedure easier, especially to the people residing in rural areas.  But, in reality when we look at the progress of allotment of ADHAR numbers, the conditions are almost the same as that of Bank account. Almost 60 percent of the Indians still didn’t get the ADHAR number. The agency who are making and allotting the ADHARs, faces lots of problems and errors in the documents presented by the people . In big states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh the government are not getting the agencies which could help and form the ADHAR numbers. So it’s still a big dream which is still very far from our reach.

In INDIA , 70 percent didn’t get loan from the bank. Almost 50 percent of the people are from agricultural background and engaged in agriculture. In reality, it is very difficult to get the agricultural loan because the process is very tough. The farmers have to go to PATWARI for the assessment of their land, after assessing they have to go to the bank manager and after that the real fight starts. Because, in the process they don’t get the required amount of loan they wanted and at the same time if the loan is allotted for the seeds they can’t invest the money in purchasing the agricultural instrument or anything related to it. If they do so the interest on that is charged at commercial rates and if they want a separate loan they have to go with same process once again. So, we can analyse the situation of bank loans.

Another important fact is that 10 percent branches of different banks are situated only in six cities. That means rural areas still lag behind the required number of banks. Government in today’s time provides a lot of subsidies to the banks so that they will maintain the new branches and also the deficit if any. So, it totally depends on the government whether they will be able to provide subsidies in coming years or not. At the same time private banks don’t want to go to the rural areas because they don’t find that much profit over there. But now, while issuing the license to the private sector banks, government started imposing conditions that some of the branches of the private sector banks must be opened in rural areas. Let’s see, will it change the scenario of the rural areas or not.

RBI is claiming to provide bank accounts to every major citizen  by 2016 and to provide them  facilities of withdrawal, payment etc. within every 15 minutes walking distances. Let’s see, upto what extent they would be successful in that.

                                 DREAM INDIA

 India got its Independence 67 years ago from now, but, still we are struggling for freedom every minute, freedom from the impediments created by our own in the way of development. It’s not the India which was dreamt by our freedom fighters. After so many years of freedom, India is still a developing country. Many of the immense scholars of our country are dreaming to make India a developed country by the year 2020.

But, the question is whether we would be able to achieve that in such a span of time or not.

The affirmativity is far away from reality. We are in the 14^th year of the 21^st millennium, but, still our country is very behind in the race of development. There are lots of impediments which are not letting our country to become a developed one. The biggest one is the poverty.  Until this bug of poverty is not removed we cannot step a foot further. In the survey it has found that more than 22 percent people living in an urban area are below International poverty line.  It’s  a matter  of relief that this rate has declined from the past 2010 rates which was more than 32.7%. But, we will have to work hard on this. In Europe and central Asia the percentage of people below poverty line is only 2.4. So, we will also have to try to achieve those similar rates.

Stand up to the world :

We must stand up to the world. We may take the example of China , which has stood up in the world market in a very short span of time. World’s market is covered with Chineese products. Indian people are very much obsessed with foreign things. For the development of the country, the People of India must understand the importance of Swadeshi, the India made products. We must use only use Swadeshi and support Swadeshi. It will help in the development.

The most important of all these is the positive attitude. If we think we can, then we really can. There may not be any obstacle which can stop us. So, move on with positive attitude and believe me one day, very soon, we will fulfill the dream of “DREAM INDIA”

      EDUCATION: NEW CENTURY’S VISION

Political crassness and lack of education and  ignorance have become unfortunately impediments in the                                                                                                                                         path of progress of the have-nots.

But generally, religion is tolerant in other concept and point of view ; it is only when conservative religionists , be they of Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism or what-ever, take a rigid, fundamentalist and legalistic stance, that intolerance and even violence can erupt, to bring about such evils as “ethnic cleansing” and other form of genocide.

Education For All:-                                                                                             

The people of India are in the midst of gigantic process of democratic, secular , federal  nation-building  in their  continental polity. It is, in essence, the initiation of the construction of a new civilization around a liberal people. Our diverse people, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-regional, have been struggling to emancipate themselves from feudal exploitation, religious obscurantism and inequalities of social and economic existence.

All major religious communities of the world have a place in the sun in this benevolent motherland. INDIA is not only multi-religious but also a polyglot society. Eighteen languages are recognized as a major language of INDIA. Besides, there are about 1800 language are thousands of dialect.

Future of Education:-

Literacy for is the Indian vision and the government has initiated various plans of action for implementing the literacy mission. Literacy does not mean only education but also transfer of knowledge to improve communication skill and capability to improve the environment and utilize scare resource for the development of the nation. The quality of life has to be improved and social values are to be retained.

"Anytime,Anywhere":-

The technology is a savior to meet the demand for learning the creating new possibilities of provision of “education for all, any- time ,any-where” which is an appropriate vision for every country which recognize learning or knowledge as a social and economic activities. India is not an exception .  The old system “gurukulam” which had been followed in ancient India signifies for the learner that the acquisition of knowledge was a life-long activity. Every country has got social and cultural value system, which has to be preserved; though it is also  possible to use modern technology advance towards meeting this goal. Preservation of value assumes greater significance for a developing nation’s  

education reform launched by various countries, including India and universalisation of education. The four pillars, which, constitute the frame work of education, are “learning to know” ,“learning to do”, “learning to live together”.

Education is not simply enlargement of gross nation product but also to provide greater peace and compassion. The nation and the individuals use technology to remove the disparity between the rich and poor, developed and less developed. Increase in use of education and technology is to be catalytic rather than missionary.This is to be ensured. the supporting technologies for making this vision a reality are the hardware, software, visual communication, network communication, storage, information management technologies and multi and national language support interface technologies.

                     AAP IS A THREAT TO CONGRESS NOT TO BJP

Indian politics is changing in a rapid pace after the Delhi assembly election. No one thought that a party which emerged  just a year back from AAM AADMI’S movement,  will form the government in Delhi. That was beyond the dream for the party itself. Most of the credit goes to Anna Hazare who was the front runner for organising the Aam Aadmi movement for passing the JAN LOKPAL BILL. It was a big slap on the people who were thinking that the movement was merely a dream for Aam Aadmi.

Delhi assembly election changes the political discussion because  before it was NARENDAR DAMODARDAS MODI VS. RAHUL GANDHI but now people started thinking that it may become NARENDRA MODI  VS. ARVIND KEJRIWAL. But the major question is whether the Aam Aadmi party will repeat the same as they have in Delhi assembly election? But congress will have to face more trouble and they will have the trouble with Aam Aadmi party. 

Congress will have to face more trouble because in Indian context it is known as Democratic-Secular party, a party who takes all the people together whether belongs to different castes, religion, community, region, identity and gender.  They dont  follow any hard line ideology.  Aam Aadmi  party also comes at the centre of left ideology. They do not discriminate people on the basis of religion, community, caste, gender, identity. Although in general all the political parties used to discriminate the people on the various grounds to take their votes in their favour. So, it is  not correct to blame any political party. But, when we talk about BHATIYA JANTA PARTY, although political parties calls it a party of harder Hindutva  ideology, which  discriminates people on the basis of caste, religion, community, gender. But this a big question mark and must be decided by the people of India and not by our political parties. But, if we see the party’s working committee that doesn’t look so. Party’s Prime ministerial candidate belongs to OBC category, national spokes person is a Muslim, one of the chief minister of BJP is a woman.

 So, its better we should give an opportunity to the people of India to decide who is a better option for them.
