Education - A Weapon

“ Education is the key to unlocking the world, passport to freedom”                                                     Oprah Winfrey What separates humans from animals is the ability of humans to write, read, learn and teach . This centuries-old accrued knowledge is called “ education ”, which makes humans the smartest creatures on the planet earth.  The basic measurement for education is called the rate of ‘literacy’. The global adult literacy rate is 86%. 75%of the world’s illiterate population lives in South Asia,West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Women account for two -  third so fall the illiterate adults of the world.The literacy rate of India is 77.7%(2017-18). In  the modern world, the meaning of ‘education’ is structured knowledge of our society in various disciplines – history, mathematics, polity, economics, various...

Feel the Reality


I always believed that every testing time comes with a great lesson for all of us. Right now the whole world is suffering from global pandemic. But this global pandemic has a message for all of us. For the first time the whole world has experienced self-isolation and social distancing for the first time, I'll tell you something for a person who is differently abled, there is nothing new in it. Those differently abled people have been living lives in quarantine since forever. But this time the whole world can actually feel what they feel. They self isolate themselves when they experience lack of acceptability. They feel socially distant when there is lack of accessibility in the world. Living in an accessible world is their basic human right that many of them are still deprived of. So I hope and I pray that when the world heels inclusively, let's ensure that in this process they leave no one behind. You must have heard a word or maybe you must have read it somewhere, Disability or a person with disability is any condition of the body or mind that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities and interact with the world around them. 

A person with a disability live a hard life today owing to the emotional issues associated with the condition. His or her identity would revolve around his or her disability rather than anything else that the person can do. It does not matter whether the individuals is handsome or talented, like justin bieber. At the end of the day, they will always be a disabled man. Attitude of the abled people towards them, put a spoke in their wheel and may even discourage them from accomplishing anything.


They always categorize such a person as a second-class citizen. It would take a lot of will power and resolve to remove stigma.

SOCIAL MEDIA

  "Connectivity is a human right"... With a gigantic user base and a ubiquitous existence, the social media has become an inseparable part of the fabric of the Indian society. It has transformed the way we communicate in the online world. Ultra-fast internet connectivity, cheap data plans and universal access to smartphones for our youth have impacted Indian society in a unique way. As we know everything has its pros and cons, social media also have. Like a double-edged sword, social media is a boon for the democracy and business, on the other hand fake news, privacy concerns and online frauds tell a different tale. "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind..." Social media have empowered the users to voice their concerns against injustice and inequality as evident from the " Anna movement " to the campaigns like " Meetoo " and rights for "LGBT" and same-sex marriages. On the other hand, fake news has induced violent activities aga...

Female foeticide

"There is no chance of the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing." In a democratic country where equality is on its peak priority, a social evil that originated a long time back is still in practice. Female foeticide is the procedure of abortion to terminate female fetus from the womb of the mother after taking sex recognition tests( ultrasound). More than 2,00,000 girls are killed each year especially in U.P. and Bihar as compared to other cities. Several religious, social, financial and emotional factors are the reasons behind the female foeticide. Most of the parents prefer son to girl because they think they have to pay a big amount as dowry at the time of marriage and also believe that tha son will carry the name of their family in future while girls will get married a day and will have a separate family. Illiteracy, insecurity, poverty and increasing ratio of rape are also the major reason for gi...

Monetary Policy

  The RBI has clearly sought to talk up confidence ignoring the risk of inflation. R BI's latest monetary policy is focused more on economy revival rather than increased inflation rate. This is an optimistic approach towards improving the economic conditions of the country. Since the pandemic hit the country, there has been a continuous downfall of economy due to long and strict lockdown that stopped all the work pausing financial activities across the country. Now that situation is returning towards normalcy it is needed to foster the economy by providing more employment and job opportunities to the people and resume the stagnant growth of the economy. More employment will improve the financial activities and mitigate the impact of lockdown that caused a great loss to GDP of the country. The risk of inflation is also needed to be focused but it can be stay put for a while because reviving economy is more beneficial than cutting prices of commodities. If there will more jobs and em...
