Beyond Walls: CoVID-19

Nature. The one force which remains undomesticated by humanity. Every alteration we try to add, every problem we try to solve - nature fights back. Every action of humans has been equally reacted to by nature. However, if we cannot see beyond the depths of our pockets, being caught off-guard by nature should come as no surprise. 

We pushed nature too far with our egotism and she sought vengeance. Our follies and misadventures have injured mother nature repeatedly. Hence, her vengeance comes to us. As a deadly virus: Coronavirus.

The current coronavirus pandemic is an endangerment to the world. Killing above a lakh people, it has the potency of a Hiroshima atomic bomb. Yet there is no one to blame but ourselves for it. We were short-sighted in our approach and our confidence in our tactics. Many of us would not accept its dangerous potential. From that obscurity came Coronavirus' notoriety: fatalities and suddenness striking down humanity. The potent and deadly arsenal of nature has been unleashed with this pandemic, sorely testing our capacities. 

Yet amid these vexing times, we denounce our government counterparts for their delays and flaws. Our allegations accuse China of negligence, the USA of short-sightedness, the UK of brushing aside pandemics, et al. However, through all the blame, we lay fallen and disunited. We stand collapsed and arrogant at a time when only union and humility can protect us. During the time we should mend bridges, we cut them off. 

Humanity has never been more vulnerable. Yet we shut our eyes and believe what we hear. The voices of rabble-rousers or politicians shifting the blame like sand-dunes which we hear. These words, dripping with hatred, do not inspire or innovate but detract and disillusion.

Despite these threats and deceit, some of us try to help others. Some of us fund welfare projects, some of us undertake those projects. Yet help is what all of us need. Even so, help is not what all of us get. The few privileged individuals who do not suffer from afflictions and finances must arise to protect those who do. The few of us who are heart-rend by the rising deaths must help. All of us who care about humanity must help. This is the fight of our time. Let it not be said that humanity failed when it was needed most.

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...
