What makes Karnataka High Court the Darling of Tobacco Lobby?

It's a proven fact that millions of innocent young lives are saved by a law named COTPA, requiring tobacco brands to display graphic warnings on 85% of their packaging surface. Naturally, India's tobacco barons – mercenary drug lords whose business consists of spreading tobacco-addition among youths -- are lobbying for dilution of this law and hunting for reliefs from court. But why are the tobacco barons filing petitions in Karnataka High Court in particular, instead of their own states? Of all the high courts that are available to them, why Karnataka? More importantly, why is Karnataka High Court entertaining them and giving them red-carpet treatment despite lack of jurisdiction? And most importantly, is Supreme Court – the Indian citizen's last hope -- looking the other way and allowi...

Early deaths due to ozone pollution are the highest in India

Early deaths due to ozone pollution are the highest in India

addtop, Today News, TOP STORIES, प्रेस विज्ञप्ति
New estimates of the global burden of disease (GBD) released today by the US-based Health Effect Institute (HEI) paint a grim picture for India. Globally, air pollution is estimated to cause more than 4.2 million early deaths -- of these, 1.1 million deaths occur in India alone. This is more than a quarter of the global deaths. India now nearly equals China which scores the highest number of early deaths due to PM2.5. Worse, India now tops the dubious list of highest number of early deaths due to ozone pollution. The rate of increase in early deaths in India is quite scary. While early deaths related to PM2.5 in China have increased by 17.22 per cent since 1990, in India these have increased by 48 per cent. Similarly, while early deaths due to ozone in China have stabilised since 1990, ...

जनसंख्या सम्बन्धी गृह राज्य मंत्री का बयान राष्ट्र हित में व्यक्त चिन्ता : डा सुरेन्द्र जैन

भारत के गृह राज्य मंत्री श्री किरेन रिजीजू ने हिन्दू जनसंख्या में कमी पर जो कहा है वह एक जिम्मेवार नेता की राष्ट्र हित में व्यक्त एक गहरी चिंता का परिचायक है। विश्व हिन्दू परिषद के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त महा मंत्री डा सुरेन्द्र जैन ने इस वयान का विरोध करने वाले नेताओं को आड़े हाथों लेते हुए कहा कि वे ओछी राजनीति के शिकार बनकर अल्पसंख्यक तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति करते हैं जिससे न सिर्फ मुसलमानों, बल्कि, देश का भी अहित हो रहा है। विश्व के सभी सभ्य समाज आज परिवार नियोजन को स्वीकार कर रहे हैं किन्तु ये नेता अपना स्वार्थ सिद्ध करने हेतु आबादी बढ़ाकर उन्हें विकास नहीं, सच्चे विनाश की ओर ले जाकर जिहाद की आग में झोंकने का कार्य कर रहे हैं। मुस्लिम समाज की वर्तमान स्थिति को देख कर आसानी से समझा जा सकता है कि ये नेता उन्हें भारत में भी स्वाभिमान व शान्ति से नहीं रहने देना चाहते। एक तत्थ्य इन राजनेताओं को स...

DeMo Critics Need To Pipe Down: FM’s Deposit Numbers Suggest Big Black Money Catch

[The human and institutional costs of DeMo no longer look unacceptable, given the potential scale of black money discovered in the deposits surge]     Not too many people commented on the biggest set of numbers revealed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his 2016-17 budget: not the fiscal deficit, not the tax collections, but the sheer size of deposits made in several crore accounts post-demonetisation.   If nothing else, the knowledge that so many Indians hoarded so much cash in their homes and offices, much of it probably undisclosed incomes, is itself worth the whole effort.   Barring TN Ninan, who wrote about this huge cache of potential black money in his Business Standard column, few people took note.   This is what Jaitley said in his budget speech:   After the demo...

The promise and pitfalls of urbanization in India

The eye has never seen a place like it,” wrote Persian ambassador Abdur Razzak of Vijayanagara, capital of the Vijayanagara empire, “and the ear was never informed that there existed anything to equal it in the world.” He was writing in 1443, during the long summer of the empire. Other visitors would praise the city’s wealth and prosperity in later years; Domingo Paes, a Portuguese traveller, compared it favourably to the Italian city-states in 1520. A high compliment indeed—the latter, at the height of the Renaissance, were global centres of wealth, commerce and culture. Sailing east along the Mediterranean coast would have brought a traveller like Paes to one of their few rivals, Constantinople (now Istanbul)—in its time the richest and largest city in Europe. The role of cities as engi...

The clamour for security, accountability and transparency is leading to unfettered increase in the power of states. We are enacting law after law, introducing technology after technology, to render citizens transparent to the state. But at the same time, we are weakening protections and consenting to technologies in a way that makes the state less transparent to us. Totalitarian states often do this against the wishes of their citizens; in our democracy, our consent is being mobilised to put an imprimatur over more control and arbitrariness. And in a fit of distraction, we have come to believe that giving the state more powers will conjure up all the goodies we need. All it will produce is a disciplinarian society more under the state’s control. Just witness the latest exhibit. The Fina...

Implementation rules for India’s first fuel consumption norms for cars is full of holes, says CSE

TOP STORIES, प्रेस विज्ञप्ति
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has found serious loopholes in the recently released draft rules for measuring and monitoring compliance with the new fuel consumption standards for passenger cars to be enforced for the first time in India this year. India, so far, is the only major vehicle producing region in the world that has not implemented fuel efficiency norms for vehicles. While these norms were notified way back in 2015, rules for compliance with the norms have just been proposed by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for implementation this year. Says Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director-research and advocacy, CSE: “The proposed compliance rules have allowed number of concessions for the car industry to score extra points for certain technologies for c...
