"An International Labour Organization study shows that "while women represent 50 percent of the world adult population and a third of the official labour force they perform nearly two-third of all working house, receive a tenth of world income and own less than one percent of world property." Therefore, reservation for women is not a bounty but only an honest recognition of their contribution to social development". Every political party for the last many years has been assuring its support to the Bill which disarms women activists. And then a farce rather than a tragedy is played out by so-called radical politicians, jumping it’s the well of the House, tearing copies of the Bill and making impossible for proceedings to continue-the House gets adjourned, the Bill is thrown into the dustbin till it is revived in subsequent years with the same result. It is time this mockery stopped, considering that more...

India, with a vast population of over 1,000 million individuals, is facing the biggest problem of the century in the form of unemployment of worthy and productive citizens. This includes unemployment and under-employment of the young and the old. This results in low productivity and nil or very low incomes. This also leads to the further degradation of household standards and poverty is perpetuated. There is a net loss of national income and the economy suffers on account of low productivity. Add to this, the violent measures taken up by the youth, agitations and individual frustration, which reaches a new pinnacle every day. According to the latest estimates, there are 37.6 million people on the streets and seek employment in one form or the other. There is an addition of 7 million people to this figure every year. A leisure oriented and unemployed person is a burden on his family more...

India now a days has to face many problems and hardships and all these problems provide heavy resistances in the journey of India towards development. The Government faces these problems and does the best efforts to solve them. The rapidly rising of prices is one of the major problems. In India today the price-rising is creating the big troubles to those people who are living below the poverty level. Price- rising is a joint process and many things' price is combine with each other. If the price of petrol and diesel rise then the price of all things must rise because all the goods are transporting here and there by the means of convince and when the rate of convence charges became high then this definitely increase the cost of the goods. India is a big country where there is a very big consumption of Petroleum Products in India and more...

Today at least for India corruption is the password, an oft- heard subject of discussions and conversations on all kinds of forums and platforms. The simple layman's definition of corruption is to get a job done in a wrong and unethical way. The first thing that we should analyze is that why do we do any work in a wrong way? The answer to tin's is quite simple and obvious. We do a job in a wrong way because firstly the right way to do it is very cumbersome, elaborate and time consuming, and even then, the chance is that the job may still not be done. Besides getting it done in the right way is not possible as, people are so used to wrong doing that, the person trying out the way to do it correctly will appear foolish. Moreover, doing a task in the right way has no more...

Around the world girls and women are treated as number two citizens - all luxuries, comforts and even necessities must first be provided for boys and men, and only then, if available, can percolate to girls and women. This is true to some extent throughout the world but more so and very conspicuously so in India. For the past few centuries in India, the girl has been completely neglected even as a human being and she lives as if only to support and satisfy men. In every home even today the boys are still pampered and given the best of everything and the girls of the same family are almost completely ignored. Even in the basic requirement of education, girls are left out because it is felt that, they in any case have only to look after their homes and the needs of their families, so, where is the need more...

A festival is a celebration of life. All nations have their religious and cultural festivals. However, Indian festivals have known to attract the world due to their harmony, variety, colorful appearances and excitement. Our festivals are basically of two types—religious and seasonal. Most of the Indian festivals are based on religion or myths. They change the monotony of life, bring peace and joy to the masses and above all, promote social interaction and harmony. The insipid routine of the is broken for good and juvenile masses celebrate their faith or seasonal change with gaiety and enthusiasm. The festivals mark the healthy depiction of human life and depict religious associations of the masses. Religious festivals include Eid-uI-Zuha, Eid-Ul-Fitr, Dussehra, Deepawali, Laxmi pooja, Mahavir Jayanti, Shri Krishna Jaiiamashtaini, Ram Navami, Navratras, Christmas, Guru Parav and the festivals of Parsis and Jews. Hindus Celebrate Dusschni and Deepawali in Northern India. The people of more...

Women's rights, as a term, typically refers to the freedoms inherently possessed by women and girls of all ages, which may be institutionalized, ignored or illegitimately suppressed by law, custom, and behavior in a particular society. These liberties are grouped together and differentiated from broader notions of human rights because they often differ from the freedoms inherently possessed by or recognized for men and boys, and because activism surrounding this issue claims an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women. Feminism and most modern sociological theory maintain that the differences between men and women are, at least in part, socially constructed 'differences', (i.e. determined through history by specific human groups), rather than biologically determined, immutable conditions. Issues commonly associated with notions of women's rights include, though are not limited to, the right: to bodily integrity and autonomy; to vote (universal suffrage); to hold public office; more...

The one man who is known as "The Father of Indian Unrest" is "Lokmanya" Bal Gandhar Tilak. These two titles of Tilak have the different meanings. According to Britishers, he was the father of Indian unrest because he was the man who stood the Indian people for the first time against British Government and from that time the rest of British Government in India was gone and never came back. Tilak was the man who awaken the Indians about their rights and worst condition from where they had to live because of the British Raj. Tilak was strict against the rule of any other country or person over India.  He declared, Swaraj (self rule) is my birth right and I must take it" His slogan was on the mouth of every Indian and before Gandhiji he was the first man which approach towards Indians was so deep, that is why more...

Drug abuse has become a very openly rampant curse from the last few decades, and the curse defies any solution up to date. Young boys and girls take to these due to some frustrations of life, and, they just cannot come out of it, once they get deeply involved. A number of welfare organizations are doing good yeomen work in this area and trying earnestly to eradicate the menace. However, if we remember the adage, 'prevention is better than cure', we must realize that, unless we uproot the cause that results in the abuse, little can be really achieved in this regard. It would be more effective if we try to hit a blow at the root of it and try to uproot the plant! That has, by now fully grown. Let us thus analyze the obvious causes of this so called frustration among the young. The causes are generally more...

Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar has undoubtedly been the central figure in the epistemology of the dalit universe. It is difficult to imagine anything serious or important in their collective life that is totally untouched by Ambedkar. For the dalit masses he is everything together; a scholar par excellence in the realm of scholarship, a Moses or messiah who led his people out of bondage and ignominy on to the path of pride and a Bodhisattva in the pantheon of Buddhism. He is always bedecked with superlative, quite like God, whatever may be the context in dalit circles. It is not difficult to see the reason behind the obeisance and reverence that dalits have for Ambedkar. They see him as one who devoted every moment of his life thinking about and struggling for their emancipation, who took the might of the establishment head on in defence of their cause; who sacrificed all more...
