Protectionism

In a major setback for the Haryana government, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Nov 17, 2023 struck down a state law mandating 75 per cent reservation for locals in private sector jobs, calling it "unconstitutional". While stating that private employers cannot be forced to employ persons from a particular state, the court, in its order, underlined that discriminating against individuals based on their state would be negative treatment against other citizens of the country. I have discussed the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020 in the perspective of problems due to protectionism in the article dated July 10, 2020. I have advocated that these kind of protectionist laws are irrational as it infringes fundamental rights of the citizens and rights and liberty of the corporates and private companies too. Im glad that the High court pronounced a judgement striking down the law as it is unconstitutional. Excerpts from Protectionism and Reverse migration, July

சமூக நீதி - அரசியல் பிரதிநிதித்துவம்

சுயமரியாதை இயக்க பிரச்சாரமே சமூக மாற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்த போதுமானது என்று பெரியார் நம்பிக்கொண்டிருந்தபோது ஆட்சி அதிகாரம் மூலமாகத்தான் சமூக மாற்றத்தை உண்டாக்க முடியும் என்று அண்ணா அரசியலில் இறங்கினார். சமூக மாற்றமே (social change) சமூக நீதியை (social equity/ justice) அடைய உதவும். நீதி கட்சி முதல் திராவிட கட்சிகள் வரையிலான சமூக நீதிக்கான பயணத்தில், கல்வி வேலை வாய்ப்புகளில் இட ஒதுக்கீடு, வாழ்வாதார மேம்பாடு என பல திட்டங்கள் பிற்படுத்தப்பட்ட மக்களுக்கு வெகுவாக சென்றடைந்தது. ஆனால் இவை ஒடுக்கப்பட்ட மக்களுக்கும் சென்றடைந்ததா, அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை தரம் உயர்ந்ததா என்று பார்த்தால் பிற்படுத்தபட்ட மக்களுக்கு கிடைத்த நன்மைகள் ஒடுக்கப்பட்டோருக்கு கடத்தப்படவில்லை என்பது தெளிவாக தெரியும். இதற்கு நிலவுடைமை, சமூக மூலதனம் (social capital, term introduced by CJI D Y Chandrachud) ஆகியவை முக்கிய காரணம். இதை பற்றி S நாராயன் IAS, வாஜ்பாய் ஆட்சியில் Finance  Secretary ஆக இருந்தவர் அவரின் புத்தகத்தில் (The Dravidian Years) குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார். இதன் மூலமாக கல்வி மற்றும் வேலை வாய்ப்புகளில் கிடைக்கும் இட ஒதுக்கீடு மட்டும்

THE BLOOD BEHIND THE BEAUTY - FOETUS IN COSMECEUTICALS

This article is written by inspiration from the movie “Yashoda” starring Samantha, until watching it, I hardly would have thought the link between fetus  and cosmeceuticals. Aftermath of the movie, curiosity peeped in, to know the truth value of facts shown on the screen. So, here is my perception about the film (Yashoda) concerning utilization  of fetus  in beauty creams.                                                                                              Pic Courtesy : janbharattimes What has been shown in the movie? An institute called Eva, braced by the Central Minister and his associates which targets poor women for making them as surrogates (by fulfilling their monetary needs) to celebrities and huge barons of the society. When those women successfully complete their first trimester, they are handed over to the reticent institute, through the assistance of local hospitals wherein they are sumptuously taken care with all the facilities, but those women are getting wide

BEWARE OF CRINGES'!

 This article's content is too cliche about the cringe behaviour of people whom we come across every single day in our routine. It's cliche since, "how much content is too much content to suffice the cringing attitude of few in society".  So here comes my experience.                                                                        Picture Courtesy-Pinterest      I use to travel for my work every day at least for one and a half an hour. One fabulous day, when I was travelling happily enjoying the morning breeze on my face, I got a question from a stranger (co-passenger) about where I'm working & what am I working as... to this extent, I'm fine to give answers. Then she started asking how much are you getting paid, is it your permanent job or temporary? Why don't you try for government exams? Already when I'm working on my life, striving for the next best career step, these questions just triggered my mind and nerves. Still continuing the trave

COLLEGIUM- HOW THE JUDGES BE APPOINTED IN INDIA?

WHAT IS COLLEGIUM SYSTEM? The principal idea of this system is association of individuals of same rank. This system has been adopted by Indian judiciary around the year 1993 for the process of appointing and transferring the Supreme Court and High Court judges. COLLEGIUM CONSISTS OF - Image Courtesy: slidesharecdn.com At present in India, the SC (Supreme Court) collegium consists of four senior most judges of the SC,  Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, Justice NV Ramana, Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Ajay Manikrao Khanwilkar led by CJI (Chief Justice of India) Justice SA Bobde.  And the High Court collegium consists of four senior most judges of the court who would be led by the Chief Justice of the respective High Court, whereas the HC collegium could recommend the names of judges for appointment and transfer but the approval is made by the CJI and SC collegium.

Backstage

As an adolescent resident of India, I have been following the governmental issues and economy since 2016, particularly after the demonetisation. The financial arrangement and the projects reported without fail have been condemned by economic analysts and academicians for their unclearness For instance the disinvestment targets. Numerous economic analysts have scrutinized the extremist Structural change of GST for its broken law and execution. This made me extremely inquisitive to think about The advancement of the Indian economy and the Implementation of the significant changes it had gone through.  While I was looking at the daily I saw information on a book authored by Sri Montek Singh Ahluwalia named The Backstage: The story behind India's high development years. The book is a finished aide that portrays the tale of the advancement of the Indian economy from A shut economy to an open market-based economy. After the Indian Independence, Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru has u
