Teaching of Civics and History to the students in India - a defect in our education system

 In the Education System, we are spending more energy in teaching the history around the development of the Constitution, which unfortunately doesn't bear any lessons or perspective to reveal to the learners the foundation of those legal principles which are enshrined within the Constitution.


Thus, we are not spending a single dime of efforts to ensure the robust implementation of the Constitution by our generations. Instead we are spending energy to teach those topics and events of our History which can , at best, be used to Itch the old wounds and make them worse.


I am firmly of the opinions that secondary school level teaching must bring certain changes in the curriculum of  History and Civics, and start teaching about the foundation /history behind the Legal Principles by which the high ideals of the Constitution can be implemented by the students by practising the values in their day today lives.


The workplace harassment, the unfairness is a very casual event within the Indian social space . And these things are happening because the Indian laws are still too much lacking to protect the innocent , to prevent the harassment. Justice , within Indian set-up , is repeatedly becoming Political, rather than procedural . That is why "politics" or an undesired clubbing of people happens in order to protect their interest against those whom perceive as the offender.


And why is the Justice always political in an average Indian social Club? 

Because people do not have basic knowledge of the Judicial principles by which they should conduct their business and professional relationship .

The Orals

The Orals That’s how we popularly know them. The popular name gives an innuendo of that pleasure act equally popular in our MMS-crazed generation but, here, is actually a short form for Oral Examinations conducted by the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) of Ministry of Shipping, India, for certification of merchant naval officers. The final steps towards acquiring any grade of licenses involves a face-to-face interview with examiners of MMD, known as Surveyors as per the provisions of the MS Act, 1958, and entails examination of our technical and managerial knowledge. The results of all MMD exams are best described by a well-known maritime adage –‘Sea yields out whatever goes in it; it does not eat away anything.’ Yes, that’s right, one day or the other we all pass. But then like all humans have a need for some challenge to give them reasons to live, we have devised the challenge in passing the exams in ‘first shot’. Over these years of revampe

Why say "No" to the demand for a Uniform Civil Code in India

 What is Uniform Civil Code? Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a set of laws that apply equally to all residents regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, or affiliation with a particular religion. It means that all sections of society, irrespective of their religion, shall be treated equally according to a national civil code, which shall be applicable to all uniformly. The code covers areas like marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, adoption, and succession of property Which democracies have the UCC ? A simple Google Search will reveal that the US does not have UCC, in that, each state is allowed to have it's own laws for governing the personal laws of the citizens. The Google Search will reveal that France, Australia and and the United Kingdom have something of the " Uniform " Civil Code. But a deeper search of what is " uniform " in these countries wil reveal that it only means a set of laws applying homogenously across all the sub-divisions of the c

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs

About the psychological, cutural and the technological impacts of the music songs. Jagjit Singh's gazal CDs were the ones which would run the franchise shops called as the Planet M, the Music World , all of which are now extinct. Today, I will say that this singer's work single handed ran the buisness of these shops. Because every trip to these shops meant that the customer would not return back without buying out atleast one piece of an item, — in the least he would do a purchase of one CD having a collection of Jagjit Singh's gazals. As for us, as sailors, in Indian ports we used to buy CDs of his songs; and from China, we used to buy English Songs. Sometimes me and my friends would laugh out at how many CDs we had collected of the same set of songs, in which , just the order of the songs was little different from an other collection in a CD that we already owned. The era from mid '90s upto 2010's was that of the music albums. I remember the name of one of the e
