Triple Talaq Bill: Anniversary

Instant Triple Talaq or talaq-e-bidat has been banned in India since 19th September 2018. The Indian Parliament passed the bill on 30th July 2018. This act has been politically controversial with stark and unrelenting opposition from eminent political moguls.

Triple Talaq is a custom of divorce unique to the Islamic community. However, Triple Talaq is uncommon in practice but ubiquitous in essence, across religions. In the talaq-e-bidat, a man is provided with the power to divorce his wife instantaneously by saying Talaq thrice. For centuries, this practice has plagued women with innumerable problems with no respite for them. 
Providentially, the Indian government was able to pass the Triple Talaq Bill (by popular terminology). Citing their aspirations for women empowerment and gender equality, The BJP government chanced the Triple Talaq Bill. 

The Triple Talaq Bill paves the way for the Uniform Civil Code and other such liberal customs and laws in which democracy is founded. The Triple Talaq Bill carries the message of hope for those oppressed by the talaq-e-bidat. However, as it is not a retroactive law, citizens previously affected by the same cannot avail the benefits of this legislation. Even so, the Triple Talaq Bill supplies sanctity to the Indian Constitution's clauses and articles.

GlobeIsOne feels great pleasure and relief upon the enactment of the concerning law. The author is of the opinion that the Triple Talaq Bill shall provide a governmental shield, defending women from this degenerating custom. With the execution of this act, parity between the genders shall rise. The author hopes to see similar legislation upon the abandonment of women without prior notice. In the odour of Triple Talaq shall the fragrance of the new bill float, progressing further with every second.

Red Star Over (South) Asia

  In a small nondescript village, down west of Siliguri in West Bengal, lie the roots of a movement which redefined the peasant’s revolution for not only India but the world. The Maoist Movement of South Asia which began with a small plot of land in the tiny village of Naxalbari [Naksal-bari]. From the peasants of West Bengal to the people of Nepal, the revolutionaries of Bangladesh to the terrorists of Myanmar; the far-reaching consequences of one remote village in 1967 never cease to astound. Maoism in itself is a sobriquet for Mao Zedong [Tse-Tung] Thought, a curious amalgamation of Marxist-Leninism with the rich and predominantly agricultural culture of the Asiatic region. A form of communism, but only just (for between Marxists and Maoists there exists a chasm of difference), Maoism is a theory of communism which advocates for a revolution by the peasantry than the proletariat (which is considered to be a higher economic class as per Marxist/Trotskyist classification). Key tr...

DECODED - Divisive Statements (P1)

Divisive statements. They are ubiquitous and not specific to any particular field. However, their most explicit usage is majorly in the field of politics. Nation-wide or region-specific, these statements are cunningly crafted to shock, provoke and divide. The Britons were pioneers in the strategy of 'divide-and-rule'. These tactics are conventional methods of providing a 'stable' base to configure an electoral gain for any candidate or political party. Its extensive usage threatens the pillars of democracy and the foundations of the Constitution. To immunise the populace to reject knowledgeably the statements made for the sake of electoral glory and not for the true spirit which it withholds. Readers here is an accurate and fact-filled description and analysis of the problem we are faced by today. Political parties are, in the author's definition,  an organised group of politically motivated individuals progressing an ideology forced upon them by Adam Smith...

India's Real Problem

Recently, the BBMP (A municipal body existing in Bengaluru) announced another scheme for the metropolitan city's security. As many laws, regional and nation-wide, go through about citizen security; this one was centric upon Women. The BBMP generously provided 33.64 crores of Indian Rupees to this project (Bengaluru only). The scheme engages the making of chambers for Women at Bus stands. The fogged glass enveloping the separate seats will ensure their security, shielding them from the looks of others. Such laws and schemes are commonplace in India. To the average eye, this may seem like a benevolent move by the authorities. Looks are deceiving; in this case, more so. These laws have inconceivable depths. Many consequences uncover upon a thorough investigation of the proposed scheme. Unfortunately, their existence substantially hinders the intention of the programme.  The BBMP must protect women from harassment (Cutthroat political competition). If the BBMP aims to get re-...
