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)...

Beyond Paradise on Earth: Kashmir

On a quintessentially frosty midwinter morning, a lone conifer stands tall, cursed with eternal greenery, looking onto the icy virgin snow by the glacial river while basking in the glory of the icy peaks behind it. This is Kashmir. Paradise on Earth. When the winter clears, the land will coruscate with its verdant scenery all around, completed by the frolicking of animals, birds, and children. Or rather, if winter clears. For the wintry dark hands of indifference, deceit, manipulation, hatred, and jealousy control Kashmir now. Where there used to be nature and villages, forming the milk of human kindness, there are now ugly machinated military camps and their soldiers, forming the dung of inhumanity. Where there once was heaven, there now is hell. Kashmir is a land that has been long embroiled in the Indian subcontinent’s gratuitous power struggles. These struggles and their subsequent pyrrhic and temporary victories have extracted a heavy toll from Kashmir. Who can we possibly blame f...

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...
