After SC refuses stay on implementation of CAA, All eyes set on next hearing

After SC refuses stay on implementation of CAA, All eyes set on next hearing 
After a lot of hue and cry and widespread protests across the country over the Citizenship Amendment Bill, the Supreme Court on Wednesday, refused to stay implementation of CAA and has scheduled January 22 to hear 59 pleas. 
The bench issued notice to the Centre on the batch of pleas seeking stay on the operation of the law as well as on the main petition challenging the constitutional validity of the contentious law. 
The amended citizenship bill which excludes migrants of the Muslim community from availing citizenship benefits in India, has continued to dominate headlines since past few days. Past precedents show, when a bill is passed in both the houses of parliament and gets SC’s nod, no State can refuse it’s implementation, no matter how much they oppose it and how many supporters they have backing their decision.  
After the CAB got presidential assent, flare-ups in premier educational institutions and north-eastern states resulted in law and order problem in the country. There was news regarding the brutalities of police, provocative speeches by our elected political leaders and student unrest. Delhi’s Jamia University and Aligarh Muslim University were among those who witnessed massive protests. Nevertheless, the agitations will soon pass, no matter how strongly the protesters are protesting, the reality lies with the fact that the CAA has fulfilled all the formalities which are required for any bill to become an Act.  
The only one institution that can stop CAA is the Supreme Court. Among those who filed petitons against the controversial act in the Supreme Court are Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Trinamool Congress MP (TMC) Mahua Moitra, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, Tripura's erstwhile ruling family scion Pradyot Kishore Deb Barman, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), All Assam Students Union (AASU) and others.  
The Bharatiya Janta Party has made it very clear that nothing can stop it from the implementation of this act. Recently, at a rally Amit Shah said, “Come what may, the Modi Govt will ensure that these refugees get Indian citizenship and live as Indians with honour.” Shah also used an oft-repeated justification for the CAA and maintained that because partition was done on the basis of religion and the minorities who are in Islamic states are suffering, that is why the amended citizenship act plans to give citizenship to minorities from other countries. 
Given the current scenario, now all eyes are set on Jan 22, the day Supreme Court has scheduled to hear 59 pleas, filed by those opposing the CAA.

Entrance Exam में भी GST लगाकर गरीबों को उच्च शिक्षा से दूर कर रही मोदी सरकार?

  क्या भारत बिना शिक्षा के विश्व गुरु बन सकता है? अगर ऐसा नहीं तो फिर उच्च शिक्षा को हर दिन महंगा क्यों किया जा रहा है? ये जानते हुए कि आर्थिक स्थिति कमजोर होने के कारण बड़ी संख्या में छात्र उच्च शिक्षा हासिल करने से पहले ही पढ़ाई छोड़ देते हैं। क्या इससे ये मान लिया जाए कि सरकार मान चुकी है कि हम वाट्सऐप यूनिवर्सिटी के जरिए ही लोगों को शिक्षित कर देंगे। ताजा उदाहरण नीट-पीजी की परीक्षा का है।    यह भी पढ़ें:  SSC GD - 2018 Protests - लाठीचार्ज में टूटा हाथ, अभ्यर्थी ने कहा - हाथ टूटा है, हौसला नहीं     नीट का एंट्रेंस टेस्ट नेशनल बोर्ड ऑफ एग्जामिनेशन यानी एनबीई करवाता है। पिछले साल जिन छात्रों ने इसका टेस्ट दिया उन्हें फार्म के लिए 3750 रुपए देने पड़े थे। इस बार जो छात्र इस टेस्ट में बैठना चाहते हैं उन्हें उसी परीक्षा के लिए 4250 रुपए देने पड़ेंगे। सिर्फ यही नहीं बल्कि इसबार जीएसटी लगा दिया गया है। इस टेस्ट में शामिल होने वाले छात्रों को जीएसटी भी चुकाना होगा। यानी समान्य और पिछड़े वर्ग के छात्र 5,015 रुपए एससी-एसटी के छात्र 3,835 रुपए जमा करने के बाद ...

"Shadow Pandemic": Predator and Prey

    "Shadow Pandemic": How Gender-based violence increased during Lockdown? Not safe in the womb, not safe in the house, not safe in the streets, not safe in the dark, not safe in the light, not safe in suits, not safe in shorts, not safe in burquas, not safe anywhere, or let us say 'NOT SAFE AMONG MEN'. If we talk about women, she may have realized that she is not safe in the public only until her husband, father, brother, uncle, son, or let us say "men", made her realize that her own house wasn't safe either.   Gender-based violence   is a hidden consequence. It has appeared as a harsh reality when survival becomes the question. The lockdown which was imposed in March, to curb COVID 19 infections, lead to great challenges, mainly faced by women and children. Women individuals suffering violence at home feared unsafe to live because of selfish humans. On one hand, where people were suffering to struggle for their basic needs like food and s...

Declining Indian Economy: Facing A Tough Time

The recent annual financial stability report released by the RBI on the 27th of December 2019 shows that there’s a structural slowdown in India. The report says that the situation is disturbing. The   IMF   has guided India to take immediate action to revive the economy. Dr. Arvind Subramaniam( Cheif Economic Adviser) and Mr. Josh Felman observed that the economy seems headed for an intensive care unit. How bad is the situation In 1991-92, the Indian economy was facing its worst time ever. The industry growth was -9% and the   GDP   was growing at just 1.1%. Comparing the current situation, the industry growth is -10% and the GDP growth is 4.5%. But, looking at the past data, this growth rate is also under question.  There’s a question mark on GDP figures. It can never be 4.5% as the conditions are similar to 1991-92.  The 2017-18 reports show that the consumer goods production growth rate was 5% and at present it’s -1%. India’s exports were 9% ...
