In India, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a sensitive and long-debated topic. Supporters argue that it should be implemented to provide fairness and equality in personal laws, while detractors raise issues with cultural and religious diversity. There are a number of crucial measures and considerations that must be made before India can really adopt a UCC. In this post, we will go over the requirements and actions that must be performed before India can progress towards creating a uniform civil code. India is a nation renowned for its wide range of cultures and religions. It is home to several…
India has embarked on its latest ambitious voyage to the moon. A Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) rocket topped with the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the coastal island of Sriharikota today (July 14) at 5:05 a.m. EDT (0905 GMT; 2:35 p.m. local time in Sriharikota). The rocket thundered into the sky, carrying an uncrewed lander-rover duo and the hopes of the world’s most populous nation. About 16 minutes after liftoff, Chandrayaan-3 separated from the LVM3 as planned and entered orbit around Earth, kickstarting its fuel-efficient journey to the moon. If the rest of the…
The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by world leaders in 2015 included a strong commitment to eradicate all kinds of child labour by the year 2025. The International Labour Organization (ILO) and UNICEF raised alarms in June of last year. They reported the first startling rise of child labourers throughout the world in 20 years. This occurred between 2016 and 2019, four years after the establishment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. ILO and UNICEF’s latest worldwide estimates are, to put it mildly, stupefying. At the start of 2020, an astounding 160 million youngsters were working as child…
It is notoriously difficult to determine India’s official stance towards the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Only two weeks ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi explicitly warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that “this is not the moment for war”. India later chose to abstain from voting on a resolution denouncing Moscow’s “annexation” of Ukrainian land as a member of the UN Security Council. To make matters worse, Prime Minister Modi informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that “no military solution” existed for the crisis at the same time that the Ukrainian army was advancing swiftly through areas of the country’s northeast and south.…
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, millions of homes will raise the tricolour in honour of the many men and women who gave their lives as martyrs to ensure that we can enjoy our freedom today. Recalling our past and what was essential in securing our freedom would help Har Ghar Tiranga transcend the slogan and the ritual. The Indian Constitution and the Tiranga go hand in hand. A 12-person ad hoc committee was formed in June 1947 by the Constituent Assembly (CA) to choose the country’s flag. The group, known as the “Flag Committee,” was…

India vs China: India and China are two of the world’s most populous nations, and their ongoing geopolitical tensions are well known. One key aspect of this rivalry is the race to achieve a credible second-strike capability, which refers to the ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons after a first strike by an enemy.

“Caste politics” in India refers to the political influence and manipulation of the caste system in the country. The caste system is a social hierarchy that has existed in India for thousands of years and is based on one’s birth into a particular caste. In modern India, caste continues to play a significant role in politics and is used by political parties and leaders to mobilize voters and gain support. This often involves promising preferential treatment and government benefit to certain castes as well as making appeals to caste pride and identity. Caste has long been a central aspect of…
In India, like in many other countries, sexual harassment in sports is a widespread problem. Despite laws and regulations in place to address this issue, there has been a lack of enforcement and accountability, resulting in a culture of impunity. This has led to a lack of trust in the reporting process and a reluctance of victims to come forward, which has made it difficult to address the problem effectively. As the country cheered on our sportswomen for their incredible talent and tenacity in international contests, it now appears that these extraordinarily brilliant women have been quietly waging another struggle—against…
