4g restoration & barring mobile internet services cannot justify, Government's policy against democracy

-
"The democracy of India represents the world's biggest democracy." This statement is justified because of the Indian constitution, which provides every citizen of India with various kinds of freedom. Indians enjoy those freedoms which are protected by our constitution and have the power to dethrone any government after every five years. All these years, the three bodies Judiciary, Legislative and Executive have been deployed to protects the rights that we enjoy.

Earlier Jammu and Kashmir were given special status according to Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which conferred them to have the power to have a separate constitution, a state flag, and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The only reason behind the special status was the dispute between India and Pakistan, since 1947. On 5 August 2019, the government of India issued a Presidential Order making all the provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to the state.


In addition, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 was passed enacting the division of the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories, J&K and Ladakh. It was a huge decision and also needed strong support to maintain it. Special troops of the army and CRPF were allotted to maintain peace thereafter the bill was announced. At the same time, the government of India also barred all broadband as well as mobile internet services in the region to prevent the deliberately fabricated falsehood on media.

Nowadays social media is the toughest challenge and on a similar hand, it is a boon for our generation. It promotes our freedom to a different level. It has the fastest speed to grow and spread with just a click. It is almost a weapon without giving physical damage. Nowadays it is preferred over any other way to either create awareness or promote hatred. Therefore it becomes very much necessary to gain control over it in tough times. And during the abolition of Article 370, the government found barring mobile services the most ideal way to deal with that situation and now we can say it resulted pretty well.

The government never intended to hurt any of the citizens in terms of their freedom. The earlier prevailing scenario (when the state was having their special status) was worse than whatever it was during the past 17-18 months or will be in the upcoming future. Earlier it was very common to hear about the riots and the curfew, especially in Kashmir. But now the government has dealt with it in a very uncommon way than earlier. Maybe processes matter but in the end, it is the result that decides the praises, and the result is sweeter than the process. Instead of criticizing the government over its all policies, we should support them if they are doing it for the country's benefit. Personally, I think democracy doesn't insist that if you are in the opposition, ts your duty to oppose the government. We should only choose between "right and wrong."

Myanmar: Democratic pillars fall apart

  This is not the first time when democracy had been murdered in Myanmar. So, it is unlikely to say that Myanmar is an example of Democracy. They gained their independence from the British Empire in 1948 and became a democratic nation. But it never lasted long in their history as, after 10 years in 1958, they were under military control for the first time. It lasted for nearly more than 50 years. Finally, the military dictatorship was officially dissolved in 2011, followed by a general election in 2010. Aung San Suu Kyi emerged as the leader of democratic Myanmar. But again 2021 was the year to be specially mentioned in the history of Myanmar. On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments and announced a one-year "state of emergency." The military arrested leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and several dozen other senior officials in early morning raids in the capital, Naypyidaw. The officials were in ...

Supermarket: The Paradox of Choice

  Do you ever wonder that when you step out of a supermarket, the purchased item is the same as the list you thought before stepping in? "Two-third of what we buy in the supermarket we had no intention of buying," says various consumer experts. You need not get very much surprised because supermarkets are the ones who encourage you. From the point of your entrance to the place where you exit, every aspect of the store's layout is designed to stimulate shopping interests. When you enter a supermarket, you will find mostly fresh items near the entrance such as flowers, vegetables, milk, and their products. These are placed there because when you walk in and find something that smells great, and simultaneously builds the notion of 'fresh' that attracts us. Then we can find bakery products and grab-to-go items such as snacks, bottled water. These items get your salivary glands going and start feeling hungry and intended to buy more food items. In the middle of the sto...
