The need for police reforms in India

Image
For a country like India  to prosper,  the functioning of the police is crucial and must be monitored Democracy is surely made of four pillars; the legislative, executive, judiciary, and the media but it stands on the ground which we may call, the police. For the smooth functioning of the pillars, a systematic working police force plays a huge role.  The aberrant killing of Vikas Dubey and the disclosure of his alliance with several police officers showcase the political nexus angle and highlight the urgent need for change in the police system. This being one of the many latest examples of unlawful police action, an important and a much less discussed topic in today's news arena comes into the light; the police reforms.  From January 2020 to July 2020, 914 judicial and police deaths (53 in police custody) were reported by the National Human Rights Commission .  Talks of Police Reforms in the past    Questions on the police reforms were asked way back i...

Your silence will kill you before a cigarette does

Image
Silence is no more a secret weapon! As citizens of the world, ranging from teens to the patriarchs and to the geriatrics, we have seen things falling upside down. Be it a class assembly, where seeds of rebel were planted or be it the protests by concerned groups, we've witnessed it all.  These activities, some infected with hate whilst some filled with valour and bravery have been happening for years immemorial. Why? Rebel comes at a price; the price of your silence After years of ruthless oppression and violence of some form, societies have fallen, leaders have been assassinated and democracies have been converted to oligarchies and more. In some region, this has led wide-scale massacres and on the other side, this has resulted in the birth of a fruitful country, a new vision of a better future, a better life. But, after all these years, we are still fighting. If people in one city, state or country are living in peace, there are kids and women in other parts of the world cry...

Reliance Jio needs to be stopped, NOW!

Image
With only 3 private operators left in the industry, the Indian Telecom sector looks to bend in a monopolistic direction in favour of Reliance Jio Look back to 2010. The local shops had banners and posters of Tata Docomo, Loop, MTS, Videocon and Aircel. Customers had tons of telecom operators to choose from. Honestly, there was real and fair competition in the Indian Telecom sector.  Read: The history and rise of Reliance Jio Fast forward to 2020. Among the top telecom operators in India, only 3 private telecom operators are in the market. Recovering from the heavy storms of financial debts, Vodafone Idea and Airtel survived the storm only to meet their new competitor; Reliance Jio. With the public sector operator BSNL, private operators Vodafone Idea, Airtel and Reliance Jio are the existing telecom operators in India. But with Vodafone Idea and Airtel in losses of more than Rs. 20,000 each, the focus of the telecom operator industry has started to incline towards Ambani's Jio...

Dystopia – it was, it is, it won’t be

CHANGE - NOW OR NEVER Yes, Humans are selfish. Humans are self-centered. Humans want to progress. Humans are greedy. Humans need lust. Humans are destructive. And this series goes on till eternity. From his existence, man has been the breaker and the maker. He brought the concepts of cheating, theft, greed, agony, and many more to advance in life.  The earliest reformative years brought men together for a purpose, the purpose to expand, to destroy, to break down others, to meddle in serenity. The power of words and speech intrigued the individualistic thoughts into the majority, making them cease their thinking process. Read: Politics and You Talking about the man of the 21st century, he is the effigy of the ancient men. The men who started the destructive agenda has now just changed himself and brought in advancements in his practices. Spreading of propaganda is now the easiest since the dawn of humanity.  It is now a precept which transmits in the society. The thin...

Politics & You

Image
How important is Politics in one’s life? How it affects one’s life and how it decides the destiny of the nation? We consider politics in India as an occupation in which people hardly want to get in. Considered as a pool of mud that pulls you in it, politics is a very vast and life-changing occupation in India. Being a politician in India is difficult. Apart from being religious bias, also possess skills like lying, betraying, lack of responsibility and more. The Political System in India is way too complex. For a young aspiring soul who wants to enter politics, he finds this entire process web of confusion. We want our nation and our citizens to change, but we don’t want to contribute to that change. We hear about crimes in and around our nation. We express our gratitude by keeping a picture of the victim or by forwarding a message through social media platforms. Well, this is how you do it. Keep on doing it and one day you’ll find a load of temp and junk files in your phon...

Metal Music Industry Scene in India

Image
We all want to live our good old days, want to recollect the old memories, want to watch old movies, but want our old music back. 72% of sales in the music industry in India are by Filmy or Movie Music. Movies have now dominated the music industry. The movie music industry has now become synonymous with the Indian music industry. The rise and fall of the movies in years have not affected the impact of their music. Movies fail, but their music doesn’t. This is what the power music attains. It cannot impress, motivate and attract people. Be it anyone listening to any genre, music generates a sense of belongingness that connects the listener to their heart and soul. I wrote the lyrics; the music composed and the melody to the writings make songs an essential tool for our entertainment, etc. Music in India has now become more of a business motive rather than a mode to connect with people. We now restrict the importance of music in India to Bollywood and other movie ...
