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.

Math: Invention or Discovery?

  Why is one plus one two? Why is anything into zero zero? Why is two to the power zero one? Any mathematician would categorically reply to you, sighing deeply, that these are axioms in math; that they’re obvious . But are they really that obvious? And what really are axioms? Most significantly, what even is math, using certainties in a world where only uncertainty is certain? Is the universe really just math, or are we being presumptuous of our talents? Was math invented, or discovered? What are axioms? Merriam-Webster defines an axiom as ‘a statement accepted as true as the basis for argument or inference/an established rule or principle or a self-evident truth/a maxim widely accepted on its intrinsic merit’. A common feature of any mathematics textbook, they are those statements which we commit to our memory without question and utilise for the rest of our lives. If you are reading this, it’s almost guaranteed that you have studied some level of mathematics (as you are literate)...

The Dawn of Isratin

  ‘The metaphor for Palestine is stronger than the Palestine of reality’ – Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian Poet. Dark plumes of smoke rose in the air, heralding a doom of unendurable potency. Widow and Widower, Orphan and Vilomah, all formed in an instant – as a missile crashes into their building. They are the unwilling victims of a war they are not part of. As children cry for their dead fathers, and vice versa, who really cares about the idea of Palestine if it comes at a cost which cannot and should not be borne. Except there is no alternative. Palestinians would not hesitate to live in Israel, but they are not allowed. Persecution, oppression, execution: that is the only fate which meets those who try to cross those imaginary lines which mark Israel from Palestine. And for those imaginary lines, wars are fought, homes are ravaged and people, precious people who are born with one and only life, are killed, mercilessly, causelessly, and inhumanely.  Although many people mark...

Actions vs Intentions: The Eternal Moral Conflict

Ever since the vague origins of human morality, a categorically unanswered question has always been raised: is it ethical to do wrong for the right reasons and vice versa. Many philosophers have pondered over this question – Plato to Bentham, the Rigveda to Metaphysics of Morality. Many have professed their own perspectives, and yet human society has never rigidly followed any. At different points of time, in different situations, in different places, we have followed a wholly diverse set of morals. However, most philosophers have placed forth their theories believing, like theoretical physicists, in the vacuum-isolated perfection of the world. For example, how can a person be expected to perform a felicific calculation, as suggested by Bentham, for every action they take, the variables themselves being open to a great level of personal discretion and manipulation? In lieu of these facts, to develop the moral answer to this question, one must compare these theories with the empirical b...
