Bribery: Evident in Motive

Bribery is the giving or obtaining of particular resources in negotiation for a type of influence or action which the recipient would ordinarily not offer. In most countries, including India, stringent laws protect us from the evil clasp of bribery. There is, naturally, the sporadic contravening of law. Since major crackdowns upon corruption in India, just and swift punishment is meted out to disobeyers of its strict legislation.
Blatant corruption is not a rare phenomenon in India. Though thoroughly disguised and nearly undetectable, it exists in significant volumes. Such acts cannot be labelled bribery. They cannot be punished under constitutional legislation. This leads to enormous growth in such forms of corruption.
A recent occurrence of such corruption was observed in Karnataka State politics. Here, a recently admitted leader 'bribed' prominent candidates in the by-poll elections taking place this year. These MLAs had previously been disqualified from the House before the collapse of the prior coalition. Currently forerunners in the by-elections, they have been offered 'key roles' in the newly constituted government.
Such actions must amount to bribery. Bribing our representatives too is a dangerous game. We must not allow our leaders to be compromised by greed and encourage them to remain selfless individuals. They must reacquire their genuine motivation towards politics. If selfishness is their reason, we must remove them from power.  Bribery such, must not be tolerated by the common men.

Economy of India: Currently

Currently, our economy is at the lower edge of the business cycle. It will have fallen to a (Moody's) forecasted growth rate of 5.8 per-cent in the fiscal year 2020. The Economy of India is currently trying to improve but remains under duress. The incumbent BJP of India has delivered an influx of legislation upon the pressing issue. From the removal of 'angel' tax to the expedited refund of GST for MSMEs, the government has procured a slew of measures for averting a profound economic slowdown. Lamentably, the government's political moguls seem not to pay much heed to the increasingly devastating problem. In their assemblies and discourses, they tend to bring about more populist ideologies in their manifestos rather than economic ones.  While the multitudes are affected by this intense situation, the publicly mandated government's regulation is proving slightly inefficient. These laws seem to protect and conserve the uppermost one per-cent of the nation. India...

Critiquing the Farm Laws: The Angst Explained

Tears stream from the eyes of the vast multitude of farmers camping on the outskirts of Delhi. Brown, watery eyes haze and blur the hundreds of posters and flags these people carry – many young, many old, women and men. Two months and more have passed since the formulation of nationwide farmers’ protests (but mainly concentrated to the North of India: Punjab and Haryana). While the government spars with the desperate (mainly rural and marginal) farmers, the ordinary protesting farmer spars with unfairness – be it the media, economists, capitalists or simply, the common man. There lies some truth in the actions of the farmers, who have protested, rallied, and held their tongues when radically insulted by tabloid journalists. In this article, the author aims to examine the three laws. The government passed three laws: The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services ...

Are We Autistic In Our Thinking?

Autism is a state of mental activity far beyond the grasp of human knowledge. The condition shows varied outputs, but what goes on inside the autistic people is unknown to  mankind. Down Syndrome is yet another misunderstood genetic disorder. Facial disfigurement and other such defects are found in children affected by down syndrome. Here too, science cannot tell the goings-on of afflicted people.  Conservative societal norms have long shadowed stricken people and forgoed them as subhumans. As Calvin (comic) rightly put it “Some people just don’t like variety”. Due to such irrational norms, many such people have been placed on the edges of society. In this dark representation of the world, humanity lights the path. Help came to the affected community in the way of different NGOs and one of them is Sandesh(NGO). Sandesh pins the hopes and dreams of the marginalised section by giving them a purpose. Members here are shown the way to join the workforce and rise in its ranks...
