The Supreme court orders for permanent commission to women

Author :- Supreme court has delivered a judgement, upholding the 2013 verdict of the Delhi High Court, on Feb 17, 2020, asking the government to grant permanent commission to women in the Short Service Commission. SC asked to pass the notification regarding it in the time period of 3 months. The women cadets are already being absorbed in the various branches of the armed forces, but they are denied the permanent commission. This was a clear violation of the equality and non-discrimination principle enshrined in the  constitution of India . The supreme court has destroyed the stereotypes about the physiological features as represented by the government in its submission in the court which deny equal status to women who complete the same criteria as their male counterparts do. The Supreme Court observed that, as long as there is the   belief in the society  that women are physically and psychologically weaker than their male counterparts, there will not be the ch...

Is everything really normal in Jammu and Kashmir?

The Home Minister assured the Rajya Sabha, 3 months before, that “normalcy” had been restored in Jammu and Kashmir. Yet, 3 main leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir- Omar Abdullah, Farookh Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have been slapped with the  Public Safety Act  and are under detention for more than 200 days. Farookh Abdullah, under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government, defended India’s position on Kashmir to the world, as Minister of State for External Affairs. As Minister of State for External Affairs in Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government. But now, according to the Public Safety Act dossier prepared by the J&K administration, he stands accused of coddling militants and mobilising the people of Kashmir to defy Pakistan-backed militants and vote in elections. Just like Mr. Abdullah,  Mufti has also been deemed “anti-national”. She ran J&K as Chief Minister with her party in alliance with the BJP for three years.  Broadening the zone of normalcy...

Why is it not safe to say that bjp lost

आप जीती तो, पर छोड़ गई कुछ सवाल!   क्या जय श्री राम की जगह जय बजरंगबली सांप्रदायिक राजनीति को ही मजबूत नहीं करता है? क्या   CAA   और   शाहीन बाग   पर मौन बहुसंख्यक तुष्टिकरण का ही एक उदाहरण नहीं है? क्या डूब जाने के डर से धारा के साथ प्रवाह धारा को मौन सहमति नहीं है? दिल्ली चुनाव के परिणामों ने विमर्श के एक बड़े मैदान का निर्माण किया है। उपरोक्त सवालों को सही जगह और जवाब भारत की राजनीति का भविष्य तय करेगी।   दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनावों   के परिणामों पर पूरे देश की नज़र थी। बीजेपी के कई सांसदों, बीजेपी या इसके समर्थित राज्य सरकारों के मुख्यमंत्रियों, गृहमंत्री और प्रधानमंत्री के आक्रामक प्रचार ने इन चुनावों का कौतूहल बढ़ा दिया था।  CAA के ख़िलाफ़ आंदोलन और उसके बाद केंद्र सरकार द्वारा उसे हिंदू-मुस्लिम बहस में बदल देने की कवायद ने इन चुनावों को बिल्कुल अलग रंग दे दिया। लेकिन केजरीवाल ने एक-एक कदम फूंक कर रखा।   CAA आंदोलनों   पर मौन साधे रहे। पूछे जाने पर नेश्नल टेलीविजन पर हनुमान चालीसा गाने से परहेज़ नहीं किया। महसूस किया कि...

Delhi Election Result 2020: Factors that led to AAP's victory

Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were voted back to power with a massive mandate in the  Delhi Assembly election 2020  as the party won 62 seats in the 70-member House. The party dropped just five seats and less than a percentage point in vote share from its historic 2015 performance. Despite a bitter campaign that saw big shots, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP managed to win only eight seats, only a 5 more from its 2015 tally. The INC, again failed to open its account — the party’s candidates forfeit their deposits on 63 of the 66 seats contested.The AAP secured 53.57 % of the vote share, while the BJP got 38.5% and the Congress 4.3%.  The loss in Delhi is a setback for Home Minister Amit Shah, who made it his mission to ensure that Mr. Kejriwal was denied a third term in office. BJP tried its best to defame Arvind Kejriwal but Arvind Kejriwal stressed his campaign mainly on the achie...

Shaheen Bagh protests: Has the time come for an end?

  The protesters are unknowingly becoming puppets in the Delhi elections   The Shaheen Bagh protests have become a part of both the history of India’s democratic movements and of the women’s empowerment.The protesters at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi have registered their point. The muslim women, waving the national flag, carrying photos of Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar, and reciting the words of the Constitution’s Preamble have shown their resolve to stand up for the secular spirit of the   Constitution .    However, there is a time when protest movements become counterproductive and the participants of such movements should understand this point. For the Shaheen Bagh protesters that time is now. The main reason for this conclusion is that with the   Delhi Assembly elections   are just a week away, the shaheen bagh protestors have increasingly become the puppet in the electoral game being played in Delhi.   The wrong message goin...
