Education without values

Image
                                      Education without values           Education imparts knowledge in us. It moulds our character by imparting values in us. Education creates better career opportunities and helps us to make better decisions in our life so that we can live a happy and satisfied life.            But our education system is worsening these days. It is seen that only theoretical knowledge is imparted and there is no scope for practical education and moral values. Teachers teach only for their personal benefit and hence does not inculcate the necessary values in students. Education has become only a means to earn money, name and fame. Also the Education system is getting corrupted due to certain people in politics. The system drivers themselves lack values. Though India’s literacy rate is 74.04% ...

Section 377

Image
                    Section 377                   Section 377 of IPC i.e. Indian Penal Code dates back to 1861 which criminalizes sexual activities between same sex i.e. homosexuality. It states that whoever has sexual intercourse with any man, woman or animal which is against the order of nature shall be punished with imprisonment for life. Some people believe that homosexuality is against Indian culture, against nature and against science.           When the High Court of Delhi decriminalized it in 2009, the Supreme court gave a judgement that the  amending of section 377 should be left on the parliament and the judiciary should not interfere in it. On 24 August 2017, Supreme court ruled that Right to Privacy is a fundamental right of people and the rights of LGBT’s(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) are based on constitutional principles.

Do we need censorship?

Image
                                Do we need censorship?             Censorship means suppression or prohibition to any part of book, film, news, etc. which is unacceptable and is a threat to security. Although the Constitution of India guarantees the freedom of expression but it also places some restrictions on the content to maintain religious peace and harmony. But is censorship really necessary?                              Some say that it is needed because if censorship does not exist we can get exposed to many things. If it is not present, children see inappropriate content which have adverse effect on their minds. It can create a negative impact on minds of people. Censoring the content can provide stability to the society. It can also lead to violence in society.       ...

Agrarian Crisis

Image
                  Agrarian Crisis                 India is an agrarian country. About 85% of the country’s population directly or indirectly depend on agriculture. However, despite being the occupation of such large population, the agricultural sector is facing many problems.                The low levels of technology, lack of irrigation facilities  and less use of fertilizers are leading to the plight of farmers. There are certain cases of farmer suicide due to unbearable burden of debt. Most of the suicides are seen in the areas of low rainfall and poorly irrigated regions. Another reason for this is shortage of money.                                              Many landless and poor farmers lack to invest in farming....

Plastic free world

Image
                                    Plastic free world                     As you go outside your home you will see plastic bags, packets, plastic bottles lying on roads, in drains etc.   Plastic is a material that can be reshaped by applying heat and pressure. Millions of plastic products are manufactured each year throughout the world. The content that is used in making plastic is highly toxic and can create serious threat to the environment and living beings because it is a non- biodegradable material.                 Plastic factories produce a great amount of carbon- dioxide which leads to global warming. In addition these chemicals can leak in soil and groundwater and cause contamination which makes it impossible to grow plants. Plastics contain chemicals that cause damage to...

Women’s Day

Image
                       Women’s Day                  Women’s liberation in an Indian society and its celebration is restricted to the urban elite pockets which organize ‘kitty parties’, etc. to celebrate Women’s Day. In remote villages of India, life is really tough for women. The real India, which reels under poverty, struggles for survival and earns daily bread to sustain life, is least concerned, bothered and impacted by such events like Women’s Day. So to say, women empowerment is really non-existent in rural India. Women have to do most of the family chores, but have no exposure to growth opportunities or health facilities. Most girls, not boys, handle household chores from childhood, at the cost of going to schools. Women are suffering from malnutrition, neglected health ailments, domestic and sexual violence . Women are in commanding positions in many areas of priva...
