During a rally on Saturday, former US President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a potentially dangerous situation. He narrowly avoided a gunshot, which grazed his ear, causing injury. It's disheartening to witness such acts of violence, whether in the US or anywhere else. It is important to always seek peaceful resolutions when faced with conflicts. Similar events took place involving Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Regardless of your stance on politics and politicians, it is crucial to denounce any form of violence towards those involved in democratic processes. These attacks have significant global implications, extending beyond the borders of the US. The process's integrity guarantees that the law and the people will prevail in a highly respected nation.
Violence is a result of physical strength. It goes against personal freedom. Trump expressed his shock and sadness hours after the massacre, highlighting the alarming frequency of such events in our society. We reached out to President Joe Biden, who is currently in a race against Trump and had a conversation with him regarding the event. Biden strongly denounced the Trump assault, emphasizing that violence has no place in America. This idea was conceived by someone in poor health.
Some Republicans wasted no time in pointing fingers at Biden and his associates, claiming that Trump's relentless criticism had created a hostile environment that posed a threat to democracy.
The rally's vibrant and lively atmosphere received a warm reception from the audience, reminiscent of the joyous Diwali celebrations. Amidst the chaos, individuals naturally took cover, feeling uneasy about the circumstances. Loca expressed gratitude that Trump emerged unscathed. Our hearts go out to the innocent rallygoers who lost their lives and we send our thoughts and prayers to those who were injured.
Trump later discussed the incident, emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure and not succumbing to misinformation and intense emotions online. He urged all Americans to respond in a calm and nonviolent manner. This issue needs to be resolved. Reflect on the impactful inauguration speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln. He addressed a nation in a state of chaos, expressing his desire for the collective memory to resonate with all through the compassionate aspects of our nature. "I will get in touch with you."
Let's stay focused and delve into the suspected shooter's intentions, connections, and political beliefs. Approach this issue with a level-headed and rational mindset. Politicians, pundits, and civic leaders from all backgrounds must maintain composure and prioritize the development of our nation's future through thoughtful ideas.
Although presidential debates can be intense, American presidential elections have consistently maintained a sense of composure. On March 30, 1981, Reagan was shot. He miraculously made it through!
It's worth noting that President Gerald Ford had a close call with an assassination attempt in September 1975. By the way, I have something interesting to share with you. Kennedy was the final president to pass away while serving in office.
When will Americans truly understand the repercussions of such violence? The potential consequences of impulsive actions, such as the tragic incident involving Senator Kennedy, can have a detrimental impact on our nation through legal repercussions and public scrutiny. When will Americans finally grasp the importance of engaging in civil discourse, refraining from personal attacks, and taking into account the consequences of their words?
Former US President Barack Obama emphasizes the importance of maintaining a peaceful political environment in a democracy. I'm relieved to hear that Trump is safe.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is deeply troubled by the recent incident involving a potential threat to President Trump's safety. He emphasized the importance of steering clear of violence in politics and democracy.
PM Modi expressed his deep sadness regarding the attack on his friend, former President Donald Trump. I vehemently denounce the incident. Violence should never be tolerated in the realms of democracy or politics. Wishing him a speedy recovery. I'm pleased to have come across this "X" post.
The state of American politics is devoid of any sense of decency, with violence deeply ingrained in society. This situation is exacerbated by the ownership and usage of guns. Trump has consistently shown support for them, even in instances where private militias have targeted politicians. Politicians and elementary school pupils alike are faced with the devastating consequences of chaos. Radicals are accountable for the tragic loss of innocent lives. This is a common occurrence in the United States.
Multiple pieces of legislation from the White House are aimed at addressing America's gun culture. Shootings at schools, universities, malls, churches, gurdwaras, and mosques cause heightened tensions and provoke strong reactions from politicians. There is often a heated debate and various proposals regarding gun cultural restrictions. Although these ideas are well thought out, they often go unnoticed and are forgotten over time. Every single political candidate Which weakness is more significant in the United States?

The history of caste is one of the defining features of politics in Bihar. Without delving deep into historical antecedents, it suffices that colonialism made it politically active. In the 1920s, a formidable caste alliance was forged in the form of ‘Triveni Sangh’ to challenge the dominance of upper castes. This formation had some initial success in the local elections of that time. Since then, the plank of caste regularly surfaces and has been articulated in the form of social justice. Although its aspirations were partially addressed by giving reservations to SCs and STs, its political significance was not recognised until the implementation of Mandal Commission recommendations in the 1990s. Full-fledged recognition of caste accorded it a critical significance as all political parties joined the mad race to capture the OBC's vote bank. Still, the glory endured to those parties who had been at the forefront of such demand before and after independence - socialist parties of various hues. Indian politics, after the implementation of the Mandal Commission’s recommendations, no longer remained merely ritualised parliamentary politics where the elite-dominated its course without being challenged. It was now open for the demos coming from vernacular traditions to overwhelm the realm of politics. It was a radical reversal of traditional elite politics in India- perhaps an inevitable consequence of democratic politics. A calm and tradition-based electoral process no longer remained the same as it (the recommendations) re-energised and invoked the lower caste political consciousness. Caste no longer remained only a social category but suddenly became a potent political identity. It imbued agential power to those on the margins who were mainly passive and patronised despite their overwhelming number in the population.
This social factsheet was altered when Lalu securely assumed the office of Chief Minister by replacing Jagannath Mishra, the then Congress Party Chief Minister. The changed situation inaugurated a new politics of caste assertions in Bihar in which confrontation inevitably followed the course of radical alteration of the nature of political order- the nature of legislative assembly, bureaucracy, party structure, etc. The socially entrenched classes put their might against such changes. But with political power in his hand, Lalu withstood their challenges and brought OBCs (at least the dominant sections, notably his caste- Yadav) into the limelight and firmly placed them in the political order. He reaped the political benefit immensely by making a formidable alliance of his caste with the Muslims that acquired the popular abbreviation M-Y. His three consecutive victories from 1990 to 2005 made him invincible - at least, he had that sense of invincibility. He not only frightened political opponents but also his partymen who refused to accept his dictate. Once sure of his electoral victory, he hardly paid any attention to the governance, allowing the situation to become lawless, bringing Jungle Raj into the state. The ghost of Jungle Raj still haunts his party. It is broadly a phase of caste confrontation.
In this background, Nitish Kumar, a bete noire for Lalu, left the party and thereby parted his company from him. First, he formed his party, and later, with the support of the BJP, he became the chief minister of Bihar in 2005, since then continuing as CM, notwithstanding his frequent changes of parties and alliances.
Now, the saga of new politics begins in Bihar with the political ascendancy of Nitish Kumar. This phase may be termed caste consolidation, a new beginning of synchronous caste politics. Nitish, as an astute politician and his long association with socialist politics, fully realised the utter significance of caste for political power. But he hailed from a caste with minuscule numbers- only 3 percent in the state- that made it impossible to form his caste-based majority. Following the logic of real politics, he fragmented the homogenous OBCs bloc by giving 25 percent reservation to the extremely backward castes (EBCs) from Annexure 1 and constituting a Maha Dalit Commission to fix quota for the lowest of them. In addition to this stratagem, he made fifty percent reservation for women in three-tier Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). All these changes yielded positive political gains for him, carving a solid support base with the assured support of EBCs, Maha Dalit, and women. It not only made him politically relevant but also allowed the benefits of reservation to percolate down. As a political strategist, he collaborated with the upper castes, soothing their bruised pride and allowing them some political space in the system. His innovative politics of caste spawned a new era of political representation long denied to the lower rung. That apart, he also overhauled the state administration and boosted its morale, assuring the state officials of political non-interference. Such steps ensured political stability with a recharged bureaucracy, embarking on the governance goal with new zeal and vigour. As a result, Bihar's GDP marched ahead of the national level.
To those who prophecised Nitish's political demise in the 2024 elections, it was incomprehensible to them that the support base he built over the years still endures. The social segments he nurtured strongly aligned with him. The poor women, harassed physically and economically by their alcoholic husbands, were able to save their meager resources after Kumar passed a stringent law to make the state alcohol-free. They continue to support him.
The expansion of political representation to the historically disenfranchised section has brought not only a new political consciousness among them but also new claimants for their mandates comprising both the regional and the national political parties. Their support, however, remains intact in favour of JDU led by Nitish. It implies that inherent social diversity demands decentralisation of power, empowering the different segments of the social collectivity. It underlies that uncritical adherence to the homogenous collectivity makes it hardened, which impedes the trajectory of democracy in responding creatively to ever-changing situations. Thus, the synergy of castes struck by Nitish Kumar ushered in the politics of caste consolidation based on the principles of equal sharing of power- it will open new egalitarian possibilities for castes, especially for the disempowered castes, in the otherwise hierarchical caste society. Possibly, Akhilesh Yadav owes a lot to Nitish Kumar for coining the phrase of PDA (Pichhara, Dalit, Alpsankhyak), which enabled his party to make deep inroads in this election. In consonance with the idea, the narrative of the caste census easily stuck with the voters, reviving the political fortunes of Samajwadi and the Congress parties. The above construal is what not only makes Nitish Kumar politically relevant but it also works as a beacon for future democratic politics in India, particularly for Bihar.

The New Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (successor of Indian Penal Code, 1860) along with the two other bills, The Bhartiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (successor of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) and the Bhartiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 (successor of Indian evidence act) received the president’s assent on 25th of December 2023. However, the government's action casts serious questions on the motives behind it. The law was tabled in the parliament during the period when 97 MPs were suspended; as a result, any possibility of discussion and debate was eliminated. Since all three of the new laws are perfect replicas of the ones that came before them, the motivation for such an act is nonetheless unclear.
Importantly, section 113 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 adds a new offense called "terrorist act," which has already been explicitly defined by the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). This might lead to an extensive misuse of the law.
The insertion of the terrorist act in the BNS, which is the replica of the terrorist act as mentioned in the UAPA act, is only harming the integrity and effectiveness of the clause mentioned under the UAPA act. By addition of such a clause in the general law would give the superintendent of police the liberty to frame charges under either of the acts, and granting such power to the local police officer would only increase tyranny across the country. Acts of terrorism sometimes entail risks to public order, national security, and social stability in addition to direct physical harm to individuals. The BNS's definition of "terrorism" automatically incorporates the UAPA's term, which does not limit the crime to the body alone. This is ludicrous, though, as terrorism is by its very nature concerned with the aftermath of an act rather than the act itself, and such attacks may target civilians or important infrastructure, or perhaps both.
As said, it's uncertain why the BNS includes a provision for the new charge of the terrorist act. Given that terrorist actions are already covered under the UAPA, a special legislation, why was there a need for duplication? There are serious questions about the reasoning behind this change given how similar the definition of a "terrorist act" is in both legislations. To prevent misunderstandings and guarantee uniform interpretation, the criminal justice system usually strives for accuracy and clarity while crafting laws, according to current criminal law jurisprudence.
There would be dissonance regarding the legislatively intended scope and application of this duplicate definition if it existed in both the BNS and the UAPA. Furthermore, since the parliamentary standing committee on Home Affairs fails to explain such a legislative action, the reasoning behind this repetition becomes increasingly vague and obscure.
The UAPA was passed in response to the extremely specialised and intricate nature of terrorist activity, the requirement that it be addressed by a distinct procedural legislation in order to manage the nuances involved, and the necessity to give specific restrictions that may not be sufficiently addressed by general statutes.
In order to resolve disputes between the general and particular provisions of "conflicting" legislation, the courts have consistently adopted the "rule of harmonious construction." This legal maxim states that the special law's provision must take precedence over the general laws in cases when there appears to be a disagreement between two separate legal provisions.
While the BNS is a general legislation that deals with transgressions in general, the UAPA is a particular law that handles terrorism. Consequently, it contradicts the sense to introduce Section 113 of the BNS when the UAPA will apply instead.
Assuming that members of Group A are seen as opposing the ideology of the government, the SP may selectively book them under the UAPA and use its strict rules to keep them detained, while the other group may be charged under BNS. This gives rise to the possibility of manipulating the legal system for political purposes.
Fairness in judicial procedures and equality before the law is directly threatened by the possibility of discriminatory treatment motivated by ideological differences. The possible abuse of these authorities may lead to the elimination of basic rights and the silence of dissident voices.
In turn, a strong system for accountability, supervision, and adherence to legal standards is required due to the incorporation of anti-terrorism provisions into general legislation and the discretionary powers bestowed upon the Superintendent of police. To guarantee the fair and reasonable application of anti-terrorism legislation and avoid their exploitation for political goals, it becomes crucial to strike a careful balance between the imperatives of national security and protecting individual rights.
The investigation's course is decided by the SP's choice to file a case under the BNS or the UAPA. In addition, the state police may knowingly or unknowingly record the case under the BNS to maintain jurisdictional control and stop the matter from being referred to the Union government. Ego-driven resistance to turning over a case to the NIA in situations where the state and Union administrations have different political philosophies might make it more difficult to combat terrorism.
This situation presents a serious difficulty that might impede the established legal procedure. The probability of applying anti-terrorism legislation selectively due to political concerns poses a threat to the values of justice equity and the rule of law.
It is interesting to observe that in places where the state and federal administrations have similar political philosophies or connections, this problem might not be as severe. However, the possibility of abuse of discretion in the execution of anti-terrorism laws necessitates close examination in areas characterised by political disagreement.
According to the philosopher Aristotle, "Man is by nature a political animal," and thus, politics is the most favored topic among the people of Bangladesh. From the tea stalls in neighborhoods to the air-conditioned rooms of corporate offices, discussions about politics are ubiquitous. However, these discussions about politics are mostly negative. Conversations often begin with analyses of how bad politics is and conclude with how far we should stay away from it. Naturally, a child grows up hearing negative discussions about politics and, upon reaching youth, realizes how far they should stay from it. The idea of participating in politics does not even cross the minds of these young individuals, and they fail to develop any political awareness. They start to perceive political engagement as a kind of crime. To be politically aware, one must first understand the answers to two questions: What is politics? And what does political awareness mean?
First, let us try to understand what politics is. Politics is a science-based culture that arises from within society for governing, whereby a specific institution or authority governs the state. The English word "politics" is derived from the Greek word "Politiká." Its simple meaning is the policies or matters concerning the city by which the state, governed by humans, creates interrelations among the people of society and maintains the balance of power. In short, certain policies are necessary to run a state, and these policies are what we call politics.
Next, an important question is, what is political awareness? Broadly speaking, political awareness refers to the fundamental understanding of politics, the study of important historical matters, and the analysis of contemporary events to form one's own political opinions. However, many people currently perceive political awareness as the act of participating in a specific political party and implementing that party's ideals and goals. This is a completely wrong notion. It is important to remember that political awareness and direct participation in politics are two completely different things. While it is crucial for a person directly involved in politics to be politically aware, a politically aware person does not necessarily need to participate directly in politics. They can contribute to qualitative changes in politics by voting for competent individuals from their positions.
The consequences of political unawareness must be borne equally by individuals, society, and the state. Describing the consequences of political unawareness, Plato said, "The penalty for not participating in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." Participation in politics can be either direct or indirect. In that context, increasing political awareness is equivalent to indirect participation in politics. When a talented young person becomes politically disengaged due to political unawareness, the result is that a less competent young person rises to the policymaking level by participating in politics. And that less competent policymaker naturally formulates weaker policies. Because of these weak policies, many talented individuals become frustrated and leave the country, resulting in a loss of talent and placing a burden on society and the state.
There is no doubt that the state will be governed by politicians. This significant responsibility lies with those who have taken public service and human welfare as their vows. In a democratic system where governance is established by the consent of the people, politicians will govern as representatives of the people. However, to establish a 'participatory' democracy in place of 'representative' democracy, it is also essential to ensure the effective participation of the people at all levels of administration.
Politics is a proven method for achieving human welfare. It is referred to as the 'Art of Compromise,' a technique for reaching agreement. Through the political process, acceptable policy-making and policy-implementation decisions can be reached through discussions and negotiations involving all concerned. These types of decisions impact every aspect of a citizen's life, including livelihood and security. Therefore, it is the duty and responsibility of citizens to pay attention to these matters. Notably, in an independent country, citizens not only have rights but also duties and responsibilities. Contributing to advancing the country by making politics effective and welfare-oriented is one of these duties and responsibilities. Taking initiative toward this goal also falls within the scope of these duties and responsibilities. Therefore, the more talented young people express their opinions and take effective initiatives based on political awareness, the more beneficial it will be for the future of the state.
However, is the lack of interest or disengagement in politics among the youth solely the responsibility of the young community? Certainly not; the state itself can never evade this responsibility. The cessation of student council elections, hindering democratic practices in educational institutions, the practice of partisanship under the guise of student politics, tendering, the transfer of student political leadership to non-students, the increase in unemployment, the lack of employment opportunities, and similar issues have frustrated young people and made them disillusioned with politics. The state can never evade responsibility for introducing these undesirable cultures into the system.
The future of Bangladesh depends on the youth. Selecting the right leadership will only be possible when political awareness among the youth increases. As the youth become more politically aware, political parties will naturally begin to think more deeply about them. To gain the votes of young people, political parties will be compelled to offer public-friendly and country-friendly programs in their manifestos to attract the youth. This will lead to a fundamental change in the political culture.
Additionally, political parties must realize that the youth will lead Bangladesh in the future, and even the leadership of the political parties will come from this young generation. Therefore, to build a beautiful future for Bangladesh and for the existence of political parties themselves, it is essential to involve talented young people in politics, both directly and indirectly. Today, many of those at the top levels of various political parties are from the generation that was politically aware during the liberation war in 1971 or the democratic uprising in 1990. Therefore, political parties must take special initiatives in their manifestos to involve talented young people in politics. Their manifestos should include specific plans for youth employment, special bank loans for self-reliance, and various platforms to engage the youth, including unemployment benefits.
It is undeniable that the more talented young people a political party can incorporate, the more enriched the party will become, and the easier their path to power will be. Therefore, it is in the political parties' interest to facilitate the participation of talented young people in politics.
In conclusion, the youth of Bangladesh have a glorious history. The contributions and sacrifices of the youth are behind every movement and achievement of Bangladesh. There are also instances where this young community has been misguided. Whether in the name of scientific socialism or through the misinterpretation of religion, the pied pipers of this wrong path have led the youth astray. Therefore, it is up to the young community to decide what kind of Bangladesh they want to see and to whom they want to entrust the future leadership of Bangladesh. The future of Bangladesh depends on the decisions made by this young community.

The American Empire failed due to the incompetence of its politicians. Corporate greed, wealth inequity, power-hungry politicians, the church's heavy involvement in politics, and the general dumbing down of its populace have all destroyed the 250-year-old democratic experiment.
Many Americans fail to recognize it. From the moment Trump was elected, the outcome was clear. Once respect was lost on a global scale, it marked the end. Once you lost the support of your allies, the situation became hopeless. I could continue discussing this at length. Undoubtedly, there were issues before Trump's tenure, but his actions have only resulted in a regression. He has been extremely focused on deconstructing everything that Obama has accomplished, resulting in a lack of forward movement and, in fact, quite the opposite. Through the election of Trump, America has revealed itself to the world, and it is a source of embarrassment.
Mr. Trump is capable of committing any act that he believes is in the best interest of America and the world. The issue lies in his narrow perspective. He lacks the natural aptitude for politics. He is a professional. In addition, Mr. Trump lacks social sensitivity. He can cause harm to others, and he displays a lack of concern for their well-being. One issue is that when individuals retaliate against him, he tends to create quite a commotion. I believe that Mr. Trump was not naturally suited for a career in politics or the presidency. During his presidency, the United States experienced a significant increase in division rather than unity. America requires a President who can bring the nation together it’s America.
Indeed! Recently in New York's 12 knowledgeable, intelligent, responsible jury members act like strong tyrants, beautify the store of falsehoods every day, touch the leaders of great nations, and provide hate speech anytime they want. As the world's superpower, America has insulted the press, the fourth pillar of democracy, considered itself above the law, and faced two impeachments and many criminal probes “ Trump” who was convicted of 'paying money in return for quiet' throughout his four years as president. Sweet-tempered Judge Juan Merchan will sentenced on July 11, 2024.
It is predicted that Trump's legacy will be forever tarnished, as he is set to be the first former U.S. President to face election violations and serve time in prison, where the press won't feel obligated to report his hateful rhetoric, incessant whining, and complaining. This would spare us from having to endure his lies and constant stream of misinformation.
First US president convicted of state crime. The jury unanimously, clearly, and legally reached this conclusion. His 34 'paying for silence' convictions are cumulative. In this instance, he faces a 4-year sentence.
This case has been linked to billionaire corporator Donald Trump, who allegedly paid a significant amount of money to maintain silence regarding a reported sex scandal with porn star Stormy Daniels in 2006. Trump claimed that this woman was insistent on exploiting him by implicating him in a false case. He provided her with funds to remove her from the situation, but the financial documentation about the transaction was altered before the 2016 presidential election to conceal the incident. It was quite a daunting task to uncover the truth in court regarding the legitimacy of this expenditure. In an attempt to conceal this reality, Donald Trump turned to a scheme within the business world. It appears that there were attempts to provide inaccurate information to the court by Trump's legal team. He believed he was extremely occupied with the presidential elections and had no awareness of this plot.
He made false statements before the American Congress in an attempt to protect himself from impeachment proceedings related to multiple cases involving Trump. It was revealed that he had committed perjury by revealing the truth. In 2018, he was sentenced, but later on, he decided to cooperate with the prosecution as a witness. He played a crucial role in uncovering Trump's case. "Today marks a significant day in upholding accountability and the rule of law," he posted on X shortly after fearlessly impeaching Trump. Despite the challenges my family and I have faced, the importance of truth remains steadfast.
Trump, angered by the decision, expressed his frustration outside the courtroom where he has gained notoriety. He claimed his innocence and criticized the trial as being politically motivated. He expressed his belief that the true verdict will be determined on November 5th, coinciding with the presidential election and that the American public will have the opportunity to hear their voices. He also claimed that the decision against me was made by President Joe Biden's administration.
However, Judge Juan Merchan emphasizes that his primary focus currently is upholding the integrity of the American judicial system.
The upcoming elections for the post of President in America are scheduled to take place on November 5, 2024. The primary competition is between President Joe Biden, who has been designated as the Democratic Party's candidate, and former President Donald Trump, who is representing the Republican Party. Michael Tyler, the communications director of US President Biden's election campaign, emphasizes the importance of upholding the law in America. Former President Trump disregarded legal obligations to pursue his agenda. It is now time for the consequences of those actions to be faced. It would be most beneficial for Americans to impart a significant lesson to such an individual through the election process.
Lawyers are diligently preparing to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court. Countless individuals across the nation have been informed of the legal proceedings against him through various media outlets. Acquired accurate information about his well-known criminal activities that he had been engaging in for an extended period of time using illicit methods, bribery, and manipulation. Many individuals believe that this individual, who is a part of American democracy, deserved the consequences they received.
He strongly criticized prosecutors, judges, and the judicial system, going to great lengths to undermine the rule of law in order to further his own agenda.
The significant portion of the American population lacks a comprehensive education and tends to follow the crowd. In approximately 18 states, the antiquated feudal system remains intact. States that uphold racist ideologies, apartheid, hatred, and slavery have gained a reputation for influencing American elections. An individual with a controversial reputation, known for their unorthodox behavior and questionable ethics, was elected by a portion of the American population who held certain beliefs and values.
Throughout his four-year tenure as the US president, he consistently strived to establish himself as a respected figure in the global community. He wasted no time in criticizing the prominent global leaders. Declining to shake hands with former German chancellor Angela Merkel in the White House, tossing two coffees at her during the G7 summit, and remarking, "Then don't say you have not been given anything," while referring to Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a weak person, resulted in the departure from the G7 summit. Disregard the Paris environmental agreement and the nuclear deal with Iran, while also undermining the credibility of NATO countries. Additionally, negotiate with the Taliban from Afghanistan and retreat in a state of apprehension. Unprofessional and dishonest individuals perform countless deeds with great power.
Constitution: It is important to note that the U.S. Constitution and laws do not prohibit individuals with criminal or other convictions from running for president. If a person of this nature were to win the election, they could potentially take the oath from jail, although the constitution does not address the issue of governance. An individual who has been found guilty of a crime against the state does not possess the authority to grant themselves a pardon upon assuming the role of President of the United States. This power resides solely with the President of the United States.
During an interview with Fox News reporter Sean Hannity, he inquired about potential actions President Trump might take if elected with regards to the question, the response was, "Except the first day." Well! The court's ruling against him occurred just as the Republican Party was on the verge of officially naming him as their candidate. It is crucial for the American people to carefully consider their choice for president, taking in account the impact it will have on the nation and its democratic values.

The “win-win” results of the general elections 2024 as described by political professionals and analysed by experts and psephologists alike, where PM Modi is starting his historic third consecutive inning as the Prime Minister of the world’s largest democratic republic, return of coalition government at centre after a strong and alleged authoritarian regime, with Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu playing vital roles of kingmakers; strengthening’s of the opposition with Congress almost doubling its seats and Samajwadi party capturing a good share of electoral numbers in Uttar Pradesh- politically the most crucial state to form government at the centre, with Mamta Banerjee consolidating her position in her stronghold. The EVM is happy among the all being coming out as clean and poise as after the dip in holy Ganga. The election verdicts not only silenced those Western prophets of democracy who always diminished India’s democratic soul since the Selig Harison ‘Most Dangerous Decade’ of the 1960s to ‘electoral autocracy’ in 2028 to the ‘one of the worst autocratisers lately’ just before the commencement of the 2024 general elections but has vindicated that the poor and semi-literate masses of India has the highest “Democracy Intelligence Quotient” or DIQ in the world to elect a full majoritarian government whenever required and to never shy away from curtailing the wings of their loved and revered charismatic leaders, from Indira Gandhi to Modi, if they smell the traces of authoritarianism or arrogance of ruling elite or any perceived threat to the constitutional model of democracy, diligently crafted by the founding fathers of the modern democratic Bharat.
MODI’S FOUR CASTES AND CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATIONS
The enchanting slogan of ‘ab ki baar 400 paar’ and the four biggest castes of Modi: the poor, the youth, the women and the Farmers, hold the key to the post-verdict analysis which will continue for a long time to come. However, one critical issue which simultaneously accommodates these four castes and has silently and minutely but critically impacted the verdict of the election is the demand for one-time COVID-19 relaxation for UPSC CSE aspirants who have exhausted their precious attempts during the pandemic years of 2020 to 2022, now joined by the 2023 batch of aspirants having suffered the double discrimination of covid-19 and CSAT-23. The dream of serving the nation and enhancing one's socio-political prestige in one of the most unequal societies is pulling the demographic dividends of India into the narrow streets and confined rooms of Old Rajender Nagar (ORN) and Mukherjee Nagar, the hubs of CSE coaching centres in the National capital. These youths popularly take pride in calling themselves ‘UPSC Aspirants’ while preparing for the toughest exam in India mainly belong to poor and marginalised families who have been left with no choice but to spend their precious years of youth until their selection or exhaustion of the prescribed attempts, once they enter into the preparation by risking their exiting meagre family resources. The stories of students coming for exponentially inflammatory coaching by selling their farmlands or mortgaging their homes have become a new normal in the era of complex globalisation marked by straitjacket vicious competition with shrinking government employment prospects. The journey of women aspirants to accomplish the dream of becoming the ‘Collector Bitya’ or Collector Madam, is the true reflection of the destructive repercussions of the patriarchal society and glass ceiled employment space, where they usually get the chance to get a study environment and sent to coaching with a real ultimatum of getting ready for marriage as per family honour, in case of failures. Many of these aspirants have to simultaneously work in the coaching institutes as a desk boy/girl, receptionist, mentor, evaluator or content writers to continue their studies till their last attempt at civil services exams whose success rate is always below 1%, as family support perished after few initial years and aspiration converts into struggle. This chunk consumes a maximum lot of first-generation educated youth of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribes asserting to somehow balance the historic plight of caste discrimination and subjugation. These aspirants are individuals carrying the burden of Modis four castes in one, who were not convent educated or had the privilege of attending reputed educational institutions or the luxury to get a couple of free years to able to focus on their studies, either financially or emotionally, thus constituting the Deprived Aspirants Castes- ‘DACs’.
COVID- 19 AND UPSC ASPIRANTS
It is often claimed that public memory is short-lived but actually, that’s a delusionary sophism. The public never forgets the defining moments of their life and even won’t let others relegate their memories into dustbins of history. The horrific memories of the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastation caused by it are alive and active in our public conscience. Every section of society and every individual was hampered by its devastating havoc, UPSC-CSE aspirants having no expectations. Most of them were infected with Covid as the concept of Herd Immunity suggests, and many lost the lives of their family members and close friends. Many aspirants choose to serve society as front-line workers, like those working in essential services, and others help the administration by following their guidelines. In the absence of mobility and scarcity of proper guidance due to the closures of coaching classes and study libraries, the Internet was the only available source. Those who have ever tasted the salt of UPSC preparation shall approvingly accept that the internet is essential but not a sufficient source of preparing for this examination, especially when the internet was flooded with content of remorse, depression and a pessimistically miserable environment in the country of ‘digital divide’. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted ‘everything’ but the UPSC cycle of Civil Services Examination, in which the constitutional body went ahead with conducting 2020, 2021 and 2022 UPSC CSE examinations with un-impactful, pretentious relief of changing dates and postponement, despite the staunch opposition by the candidates who were forced to appear in the examination due to compulsions of numbers of attempts and maximum age limits, despite their gloomy surrounding and challenged state of preparation and quadriplegic cognitive capacity. The plight was not restricted to forcing the candidates to either ‘appear or disappear’ in the examination but their serious life-threatening clashes of genuine interests like, what an affected candidate in a containment zone or under quarantine ought to do? If she appears for the examination by breaching the COVID guidelines, she risks the lives of many others, and if she chooses to follow the guidelines and doesn’t appear for the examination, she loses her most precious attempt. Many candidates could not enter the venue of examination centres, both in Prelims and Mains, due to their high temperature after being scanned at the gates. Many serving in the essential services were not provided the leave to appear in the examination, while many others were struggling to arrange oxygen cylinders. The student community mainly coming from marginalised and disadvantaged sections is still trying to cope with the post-COVID financial, emotional and health issues. The government both at the union and state levels have tried to provide relief to the masses which every welfare state is duty bound to do. The Union government specifically provided many relief packages in tune with ‘Jaan bhi, Jahaan bhi’, giving relief to the sector of the economy and every section of society, unfortunately excluding the DACs. When these COVID-19-impacted aspirants approached the government, specifically the concerned DoPT ministers of state, his logic was that exams were held smoothly, and deserving candidates had successfully cleared the exams despite COVID-19. He has rejected the demand of one extra UPSC attempt to compensate for the loss during the pandemic, the stand on which he remained consistence, and these candidates are demoted to the ‘Bunch of Failures’.
PRAYER, PETITIONS, PROTEST AND PARLIAMENT
Since the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, students preparing for competitive exams have been demanding relaxation comparable given to others in every sector and section. The government postponed the CSE prelims in 2020 to October of that year but that was a symbolic relief as the exam was conducted despite the first lockdown having not been lifted and all the guidelines of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health tandemly persisted. The aspirants who often start their preparation by studying Indian Polity and the Constitution of India, went for a never-ending struggle which has now been diminishing. They approached the Government with their prayer, within their understandable limitations. Many members of Parliament have written letters to the Prime Minister and urged the MoS- DoPT to consider the case of these aspirants. These aspirants have formed an unorganised interest group and moved to the highest court of the land seeking one extra attempt to get a fair chance of opportunity. The supreme court in Abhishek Anand Sinha v. UOI, although refused to pass any direction, however, advised the executive to take a “Lineant view” in the light of the circumstances in the nation at the time of the Pandemic. Similarly in Arjit Shukla v. UOI, the apex court hinted at using discretion under Rule-4 of the Indian Administrative Services (Appointment by Competitive Examination) Regulation, 1955 for providing one-time relaxation. Failing to get the desired results after Prayers and Petitions, they although not having any such experience or support, also staged various small but peaceful protests, the December 2022 protest at Old Rajender Nagar (ORN) even getting National media coverage. One thing where they could play smartly was to never let their peaceful protest be highjacked by any political outfit and their only anti-government slogans were ‘DoPT down-down’, ‘UPSC hosh me aao- UPSC come to senses’.
However, the matter is not that much straightforwardly simple. There is an internal division between the attempters- those who have attempted any of the three stages of the examination and non-attempters- those who could not attempt any of the stages of the examination due to Covid-19 and its various implications, government being tilted little in the favour of the latter. There are also diverse opinions of experts both in favour and in opposition to this demand in the name of maintaining administrative efficiency. It should be noted that the Union government had provided relief to other aspirants of various government competitive exams like SSC-GD, SSC-CGL, IIT-JEE, UGC-NET, and CA Exam owning to reasons having a connection with ‘Covid Pandemic Hardships’. The various State Public Service Commissions in more than 18 states of India, many ruled by the BJP governments like Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh, have provided attempt and age relaxations in their respective State PCS examinations. The One Hundred Twelfth Report of the Department Related Standing Committee (DRSC) on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice of Parliament headed by BJP stalwart late Sushil Kumar Modi has also strongly recommended the one-time relaxation. To quote the report, Para 4.16: “The Committee thinks that COVID-19 has caused untold agony and insurmountable sufferings to many. The whole of India had come to a standstill, lives and livelihoods got disrupted and the student community was also adversely affected. Keeping in view the hardship faced by the student community during the first and second COVID waves, the Committee recommends the Government to change its mind and sympathetically consider the demand of CSE aspirants and grant an extra attempt with corresponding age relaxation to All Candidates”. Despite the demand from all the quarters, including the letter of request from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to the Prime Minster apart from other leaders, the DoPT has only hardened its stand to not provide any relief to candidates, who had exhausted their prescribed attempts, to avoid setting a wrong precedence. In his reply to the questions raised by the parliamentarians, Dr Jitender Singh, the MoS in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, clarified that the matter has been considered and it has not been found ‘Feasible’ to change the existing provisions regarding the number of attempts and age-limit in respect of the Civil Services Examination.
JUSTICE EVEN IF HEAVEN FALLS
These hundreds of thousands of DACs were not figured into the Vote bank calculus of the ruling BJP, despite maximum of them being the admirers of PM Modi. The Congress party have added a minute although exclusively inconsistent reference in its manifesto- Nyay Patra promising a one-time relief to applicants due to the pandemic. The malaised dejected aspirants who are comparatively well-educated and cognizant, having the capacity to influence not only their family but their villages and communities, voted either NOTA or against the BJP as per their silent dictum of ‘No Vote without Opportunity’. Now that the general elections are over and with the absolute majority to NDA, PM Modi taking charge of the Nation with a new energy of strength, dedication and resolve, the time is appropriate to undo the historic wrong by providing a one-time COVID Compensatory UPSC CSE attempt to all those candidates who were eligible to write exam during the 2020-2023, as students are not demanding any change in the existing rules of CSE but a one-time exceptional welfare measure for exceptional circumstance. COVID-19 has not discriminated between the attempters and non-attempters nor between the first attempter and last attempters; the democratic government should not only change its mind but also the heart and take a democratic call by implementing the DRSC report in letter and spirit to provide the inclusive relief to all candidates without any discrimination. The new NDA government should sideline the bureaucratic resistance to the cause and shall announce a special inclusive Covid CSE examination with appropriate age relaxations, to fill the vacancies of IAS, IPS, IFS and other positions in 2024 itself to undo the injustice to the demanding aspirants, taking precedence from 1979,1992 & 2015 when the extra chance was given due to various compelling reasons. This is the right time to come out of the colonial hangover of exclusivist Imperial Civil Services practically opened for the elite individuals and decolonising the Indian Civil services to make it substantially accessible to subalterns and disadvantageous, taking a clue from the 2014 reforms increasing the attempts from 4 to 6, apart from consolidating the existing provisions of affirmative actions. The constitutional ethos and principles of social justice demand a one-time compensatory attempt at UPSC-CSE. Let Justice be done though the heavens fall.

The introduction of CAA 2019 supercharged the political landscape of India for the first time since the formation of the BJP government at the Centre in 2014. The most notable of all aspects that the CAA 2019 brought under the limelight is the grant of citizenship based on religion, causing a rupture in the constitutionally secular fabric of citizenship laws in India. As the movement against CAA 2019 picked up, citizens and pressure groups were quick to point out that besides Muslims, people from the Dalit, Bahujan and Adivasi (DBA) communities are equally vulnerable to the said amendment in the Citizenship Act.
Minority groups like Matuas of West Bengal whose long-standing demand was the citizenship of India were left in a split: Is this another empty promise of citizenship, to be weaponized to garner votes? Or was their time-honoured demand finally heard?
The hopes of the Namashudra community (Dalits/ Schedule Caste) underwent a paradigm change in the four long years that CAA remained unimplemented, its rules undeclared. However, just ahead of the General Assembly Elections, as the Central Government declared CAA Rules 2024, the reactions of these minority groups were divided. While a section of the Matuas offered their unwavering support to CAA 2019 and pledged their allegiance to the BJP, another section of the Matua population alleges that the CAA 2019 does not promise them any benefit or honour their citizenship demands.
Despite the BJP’s grand-stylized promise of a citizenship grant to everyone who entered the territory of India before 31 December 2014, a part of the Hindu minority communities adjudged the CAA 2019 as an Act that would not fulfil their demands.
A Promise that Was Never Meant
The Namashudra community in West Bengal has been subjected to the threat of eviction, displacement and deportation for decades. The Namashudra community is said to have arrived in Bengal in mainly three phases:
(I) Between October 1946 - March 1958 (referred to as the First Phase of the Old Immigrants)
(II) Between April 1958 - December 1963 (referred to as the Second Phase of the Old Immigrants)
(III) Between January 1964 - March 1971 (referred to as the New Immigrants)
Around the 1970s, every ruling party presiding at the helm of the affairs of the state had to deal with the question of what was to be done with the overwhelming influx of the Namashudra population. While a section of the First Phase of the Old Immigrants was granted facilities like employment and loans for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes, the Government planned to “rehabilitate” the rest of the immigrants to faraway locations like Andamans, Rajasthan and Dandyakaranya. They could accept or reject the proposal of rehabilitation by the Government. However, rejection of such a proposal would mean that they would cease to be the government’s responsibility and thus, cease to receive the concessions that were due to them. Many chose to trust the government rehabilitation process, only to realise that their sustenance in those areas of rehabilitation was unfathomable. Later, under the Left Front government in Bengal, their demands for resettlement in Bengal intensified.
However, under the Left Front government, their demands were not only met with apathy but also with violence. Namashudras who undertook initiatives to shift and settle in the uninhabited islands of Sundarbans were either massacred (see Marichjhapi massacre) or were deported back to their areas of rehabilitation. The issues of livelihood were never seriously lent an ear to by the State Government. Moreover, the demands for citizenship by the New Immigrants, including those who came after 1971 were met with complete apathy by the Government.
As the BJP government at the Centre rolled out the red carpet for the Citizenship Amendment Act 2003, which introduced the concept of “illegal immigrants” for the very first time, the namashudra community of Bengal burst forth in protest. Their demand to be granted unconditional citizenship has been upheld by both the ruling TMC and its opposition, BJP but they have received no assurances so far. As per the CAA Rules 2024, the application for citizenship under CAA shall require the diaspora of Namashudras and Dalit, Bahujan and Adivasi groups to declare their citizenship status without any promise of being guaranteed the grant of citizenship, leaving them vulnerable to the threat of confinement and deportation.
Misplaced Demands
When we talk about the controversial CAA 2019, the mention of an amendment to the Passport Entry Act of 1920 and Foreigner’s Act of 1946 becomes indispensable. These two Acts were amended in 2015 to grant exemption to non-Muslim migrants from the penal provisions under the Act if they happen to enter the territory of India without valid passports or travel documents owing to a threat of religious persecution. In the context of Bengal, this meant that the Namashudras were exempt from the penal provisions under these Acts. The amendments were discriminatory as they excluded Muslims from being exempted under the penal provisions. Moreover, there was still no guarantee of citizenship for non-Muslim immigrants.
As the protest against CAA 2019 took off in December 2019, activists and pressure groups made serious omissions in collating the demands of the anti-CAA movement. The central demand of the anti-CAA movement was the demand for the repeal of CAA 2019. However, the repeal of the discriminatory provisions of the Passport Entry Act 1920 and the Foreigner’s Act 1946 remained uncomprehended and unaccounted for in the demands. Moreover, the movement also failed to demand the repeal of CAA 1986 (amended in 1992), which provided that for the grant of citizenship by birth, either of a person’s parents must be an Indian Citizen.
Besides CAA 1986, the movement also failed to place demands directed towards the repeal of CAA 2003 which lays down that for anyone to be a citizen of India, both parents must be Indian citizens. Civil rights organisations needed to represent the demands of the DBA community which included the removal of the caveat from the grant of citizenship by birth. In effect, the demand shall be synonymous with the introduction and enactment of the right of Jus Soli in the Indian Citizenship Act. In simpler terms, it is the demand that every person born in India must be granted citizenship unconditionally, irrespective of the nationality of their parents.
Unfortunately, the movement also overlooked the problem of government negligence faced by those DBA communities who have demanded citizenship from the Government for decades. Thus, the anti-CAA movement could not mobilize the large masses of people from the DBA communities whose demands were unconditional grants of Indian Citizenship.
Conclusion
With the introduction of CAA Rules 2024, the sparks of the anti-CAA movement are evident again. Perhaps, this time, it may be a crucial turning point for the stakeholders of the movement to include the demands of the DBA communities, who are as affected by the proposed NRC-CAA as the Muslim community, within the scope of the movement to make the movement sustainable among sections of population worst-affected by political uncertainty owing to the question of citizenship. The CAA Rules 2024 is the concretization of the legalized terror that CAA 2019 is. It is, therefore, essential to approach the problem of the Indian Citizenship Law as a question that transcends religious colourism to unite all individuals whose identities (social, cultural or political) are subject to contempt today.

A deadly heatwave gripped large regions of Asia for weeks in April and May 2024, with temperatures soaring past 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius) in India on May 7. The oppressive heat caused politicians, local news announcers, and voters to faint. From Japan to the Philippines, the relentless heat disrupted everyday life. In Cambodia, students and teachers were sent home as hand-held fans provided little relief in poorly ventilated classrooms. Thai farmers saw crops wither and livestock perish under the punishing sun, leading to hundreds of heat-related deaths.
The world has increasingly suffered from extreme heat in recent years. A weekslong heatwave in the southwestern United States in 2023 saw Phoenix endure 110 F (43.3 C) or higher for 31 straight days. Europe faced unprecedented temperatures that killed hundreds and fueled wildfires in Greece. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat, and this crisis is expected to worsen.
Our research on climate change and population aging reveals two troubling trends. First, global temperatures are hotter than ever, with 2015-2023 being the hottest period on record. Second, the global population is aging, with the number of people aged 60 and older expected to double to 2.1 billion by 2050, making up 21 percent of the population.
By 2050, more than 23 percent of people aged 69 and older will live in regions where peak temperatures surpass 99.5 F (37.5 C), up from 14 percent today. This means 250 million more older adults will face dangerously high temperatures. Most will be in lower- and middle-income countries with insufficient services and limited access to electricity, cooling appliances, and safe water.
Policymakers, communities, and families must understand and prepare for these risks. High temperatures can be deadly for older adults, exacerbating health conditions and increasing vulnerability to dehydration and poor air quality. Effective regional strategies and significant investments are needed to protect aging populations from escalating heat risks.
Dr. Hansraj Bhardwaj, a prominent figure in Indian politics, served as the Law Minister of India under the leadership of Prime Ministers Rajiv Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, and later under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. His long tenure is noted for significant reforms and contributions to the Indian legal system, which have had lasting impacts on the judiciary and legal practice in the country.
One of Dr. Bhardwaj’s most notable contributions was his effort to modernize and streamline the judiciary. He championed judicial accountability and transparency, crucial for enhancing the credibility and efficiency of the judicial process. Bhardwaj was instrumental in implementing the computerization of courts. This initiative aimed to reduce the backlog of cases and expedite the judicial process by enabling better case management and more efficient record-keeping.
Dr. Bhardwaj placed a strong emphasis on ensuring access to justice for all, particularly for marginalized and economically weaker sections of society. He was a key proponent of legal aid programs, which provided free legal services to those who could not afford them. By advocating for and implementing these programs, Bhardwaj initiated the concept of Lok Adalat to democratize access to justice in India, empowering the underprivileged and ensuring they could exercise their legal rights.
During his tenure, Dr. Bhardwaj was an advocate for the continuous review and reform of outdated laws. He supported the work of the Law Commission of India, which played a vital role in identifying obsolete laws and recommending new legislation to address contemporary issues. His support for these initiatives helped modernize India's legal framework, making it more relevant and responsive to the changing needs of society.
Inspired by his hero Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr. Bhardwaj was known for his staunch advocacy for human rights. He played a crucial role in the enactment of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, which led to the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in India. The NHRC has been instrumental in addressing human rights violations and promoting human rights awareness across the country.
Understanding the importance of legal education in shaping competent and ethical legal professionals, Bhardwaj pushed for reforms in legal education. He supported initiatives to improve the quality of legal education and training, ensuring that law graduates were well-equipped to meet the profession's demands. His efforts included advocating for better infrastructure, updated curricula, and more practical training in law schools, famously known as NALSAR.
Dr. Bhardwaj’s tenure also saw significant strides in anti-corruption measures. He was a proponent of stronger anti-corruption laws and supported establishing institutions to curb corruption within the judiciary and public offices. His commitment to reducing corruption helped promote a more transparent and accountable legal system.
Dr. Hansraj Bhardwaj’s contributions to the Indian legal system were multi-faceted and profound. Through judicial reforms, enhancing access to justice, supporting legal aid, advocating for human rights, improving legal education, and promoting anti-corruption measures, he played a pivotal role in modernizing and strengthening the legal framework in India. His legacy is reflected in a more accessible, transparent, and efficient legal system that continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of the Indian populace. Importantly, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, and compassionate human being who graced Indian politics in recent times.
