Indian Politics:Why it is so messed up?

          Politics:A word for the Illiterates
                                                         -Piyush R.Prusti

To become an IAS officer one has to work very hard cracking the prelims, mains & then viva , but still he/she is under a political office holder who has not even passed the boards. Why is it so? Going by our books,politicians are those who can understand the people and frame policies for the betterment of their overall lifestyle.But then a vital question arises what development will he/she make if he/she has no idea what actually development is? It is not that all are uneducated, there are some who are educated but their number are mere.In our Indian homes we often hear from our family and relatives that -"If you don't study,what you will do in your life?Politics?".Is it the history of Indian politics making them say that or something else. There are numerous ministers holding vital  positions and offices in the parliament without any educational qualification. For eg: Rabri Devi - Chief minister of Bihar for 3 terms with just elementary education;Smriti Irani - current Union Minister holding the ministry of Textile and Women and Child development; Anant Geete - current Minister of Heavy industry and public enterprises and many more.This might be the reason for the kind of atmosphere of fear, extortion, corruption and communal division they have totally left the country in fragments. What should be done ? Should there be a minimum educational qualification for being in the parliament ?A tough decision to be taken for the betterment of future India.The politics of future populist nationalism is now being challenged by those who feel troubled by economic anxiety and social upheaval. Though there is no moral force on the horizon today but who knows what another decade of intense political disruption and dictatorial impulses could throw up.

    India is always corrupted by these leaders. The thing is the framework of our democracy is little insecure. Nehru, during his reign has changed the constitution many times and created various loopholes. Ambedkar would have been too proud of him.

#Cancelled: But Is Justice Having a Blast?

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. That's an old saying some of us have heard for years, but our words are genuinely powerful today. If you are not careful, one wrong word or move could get you cancelled. In the age of digital technology, past and present events are accessible at any time with a click. It has always been a challenging time to summon groups of people to join the public fray to challenge others online for past words or actions. In the digital age, past actions regarded as incongruent with current norms are subject to criticism and rebuke. This phenomenon is now commonly called “cancel culture,” a strategy by groups of individuals using social pressure to shun a target accused of offensive words or deeds. The concept of cancel culture lacks a universally agreed-upon definition. Most definitions centre around themes of accountability but diverge regarding their impact. Cancel culture is a blend of fun and fury that exposes ...

                                  STOCKS Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic has hurt,many individuals were rendered unemployed as either they had to shut their businesses or leave their jobs due to no production.Big corporates such as Citibank had to quit their business in India as they faced huge losses due to lockdowns.Ever since August,2020 the common people of India are in search of any work which can pay them. While many people stay away from the stock market because of the various myths surrounding it,it might well be the best place to invest your money in and earn in long-term or short-term.
