  POLICE     شُرْطَة   POLITIE     POLIZIA, huge number of duties are assigned to them, from maintaining peace, law and order to investigation and getting hold of the culprit. The duties are not limited but are numerous, many of which we can’t even think of. In addition to that, their duty hours are also not specified. In other countries, the word ‘police’ associates with it a great sense of respect, powers and dignity. In India though, police is not looked upon with such respect and values. What it is seen is with fear, more of a disrespect. Why is it so? Why is the police not respected? Why is it not looked upon with dignity and pride by the citizens of our country? Is it the police which is at fault for such conditions or are the citizens so rude, selfish and disrespectful that they look down upon the police? Well, it is not the one who is at fault but both of them are culprits here. From the point of view of the citizens, it is the police which looks...

You know around 3 to 4 years back, I started to come across the ideas of feminism, equality, women's right and empowerment etc. Then I understood that what women suffer in their day to day life, how they are humiliated, how they are judged on the basis their dress, their way of talking, how they are tortured for dowry and number of things. I started feeling very bad that how because of some judgemental people women aren't allowed to do what they want to do, what they want to wear, where they want to go and with whom they want to go. It transformed me into a kind of girl who would always talk about feminism, equality and women's rights. I would always think that it is so cool to be a boy, no one judges you anyhow, be it dress, way of talking, time of coming back home, dowry and their lifestyle. A boy's image has always been in my mind as a tension free and care free human being, who lives his life as he wishes to. Little did I know, that they don't suffer like us but...

Dowry system is deep rooted in the society in India finding its origin during the medieval times, when giving gifts in cash to a bride by her family became a ritual. It is one of the problems that has been well established in the Indian society, leading to certain different problems, one of which in the current times has turned out to be domestic violence or simple dowry related violence. Dowry has been used since ages to show their economic status using the woman or bride as chattel along with that dowry. The higher the dowry, the higher the status in the family of in-laws. If there are two or more brothers in a family then what they get as dowry in their marriage is always compared bringing about a scenario of discrimination in the house which leads to sufferings of the woman with lower dowry. If the man’s family has a certain amount of land, or he’s well educated and salaried person, they will, in most of the cases, definitely be expecting a greater dowry than normal because the...

Redditors have wedged the million dollar "stock war" against the big cats of stock market. The way in which this chapter has unfolded, it has sent shock waves across the Wall Street.  Game stop, a company that sell physical copies of video games, is now the most highly traded asset in United States and a "meme stock" for netzians and gen z.  Essentialy, many non professionals have invested against giant financial investors and institutions and currently winning. In current times it seems to be the biggest money transaction from ruling financial giants to middle and upper middle class.  But how do they made this possible? This has happened due to wrong anticipation and evaluation about the value of stocks of Game stop by prominent hedge funds in long run. On the other hand a group of redditors in wallsteet Bets subreddit analyzed Game stop stoc...

                                                Now a days the term ‘sedition’ is used in a very frequent manner. This term was coined by Thomas Babington Macaulay. It was enacted by britishers to suppress Indian dissent, and it will not be wrong to say that this colonial law shed tears for abolishment. Under section 124A Of Indian Penal Code,1860, the section says that   “Whoever, word, either spoken or written, or, by signs, or attempts to bring into hatred or otherwise , or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards the government established by law shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.”  "Section 124-A under, which I am happily charged , is perhaps the prince among the political sections of the IPC designed to suppress the liberty of the citizen ...

    "I personally do not understand why religion should be given this vast, expansive jurisdiction, so as to cover the whole of life and to prevent the legislature from encroaching upon that field. After all, what are we having this liberty for? We are having this liberty in order to reform our social system, which is so full of inequities, discriminations and other things, which conflict with our fundamental rights."                                                                                                                                              ...
