‘Politics’ and ‘Ethics’ do not go together

This very statement does not mean that ethics are antagonistic to politics. Our founding fathers gave an entire generation of ethical and nationalist politicians. But now politicians do politics on the parochial lines like castem, community, region etc. and as do the voters vote and is a result ethics gets cornered from the sphere of politics. It discourages ethical people from entering the politics.  Voters who vote along these parochial lines cannot rectify their mistakes and due to them the entire system has to pay the indemnity. There is an unholy nexus between the politicians, bureaucrats, criminals, mafia, industrialists. Honest officials are relegated and corrupt are promoted. Nepotism is being practised in almost every sdoector very openly.  Many public issues like infrastructural bottle necks are left unattended deliberately to impoverish and render disenchanted electorate dependent upon pre-election doles.

challenges for women in India against time and space

Image
Women are the building blocks of the society. They are traditionally referred as Goddesses. However, in the Indian society, they continue to be exploited for the sake of the conventions of the society and face challenges even today.  The following are the various challenges faced by the women: • Patriarchy: Women face the male dominance in various institutions, structures of the country. This has hampered the overall development and rise of women in the societal roles.  • Political participation: Women are not able to express themselves politically.

Effective utilization of public finds is crucial to meet development goals

The Importance of Efficient use of Public Resources Effective utilization of public resources is critical to meeting development goals. Key programs in education and health are overwhelmingly conducted within the public sector. And although private provision of infrastructure has expanded in areas like telecommunications and energy, private investors remain wary of socially-oriented sectors, such as water and sanitation, and also show little willingness to invest in the poorest countries. At present, though, research indicates that increases in public spending are only weakly correlated with the achievement of development outcomes in most developing countries. Government ineffectiveness — in the form of waste, inefficiency and corruption — is largely responsible.  Reasons for under-utilization and mis-utilizations of funds:  • Corruption: The large sum of money earmarked from public activities are taken away by officials as well as politicians in form of bribes. This results i...

“Social values are more important than economic values”

Social Values - are the standards of social behavior derived from social interaction and accepted as constituent facts of social structure. Social values form an important part of the culture of the society. Values account for the stability of social order. They provide the general guidelines for social conduct and help in choosing between alternative courses of action. For example -respect for human dignity, equality, justice etc. are some of the social values even enshrined in our constitution. For example , the Capitalist system which arose during Industrial revolution caused large scale inequality in the society. Their main focus was creating economic value rather than fulfilling social goals.  For improving the social capital, we need to focus on social values. It will also help in improving quality of life of an individual.  Economic values - They are the worth of a good or service as determined by people’s preferences and the trade offs they choose to make. Making econ...

Disaster preparedness in any disaster management process and disaster mitigation in the case of landslides

“Prevention is better than cure” is the motto of disaster management strategists around the world. The first step i.e. disaster preparedness embodies half of the disaster management planning process. Better preparedness against disaster checks the excess loss of life and property and thus, saves the revenues of the government to a greater extent.  Hazard Zone Mapping is an efficient measure to check disaster loss to a greater extent by micro-management of the different disaster-prone zones.

Strength, Peace and Security are the pillars of International Relations

In today's transnational world, a sustainable national security policy cannot be achieved through national capabilities alone. Sustainable national security instead rests on three pillars: 1. A multi-sum security principle based on justice at all levels, multilateralism and multidimensionality (including human, environmental, national, transnational and trans cultural/transcivilizational security); 2. Symbiotic realism in international relations, whereby mutual cooperation among states results in non-conflictual absolute gains that is peace. 3. Transcivilizational synergy which results from mutual respect, multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism and cross-fertilization, and will lead to global justice, security and prosperity. This is essential reading for anyone interested in an innovative approach to the complex yet central subject of sustainable strength. Strength: • Economic Strength. • Military • Infrastructure • Diplomacy • Able Leadership (Ex: Putin) • Science & Technology • T...

The James Webb Space Telescope

Image
The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) will be a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror. The telescope will be launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana in 2021.  The Webb telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System. The Webb telescope was formerly known as the "Next Generation Space Telescope" (NGST); it was renamed in September 2002 after a former NASA administrator, James Webb. Webb is an international collaboration between NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is managing the development effort.

Buddhist Architecture

Image
 Another excavated cave about a hundred years later is the magnificent prayer hall or Chaitya, at Karle in the Pune district. This too has been excavated from the living rock and is unparalleled for its lofty and elevated impression. The size is truly stupendous, 124'x46-1/2'x45'. With well proportioned great and bulky pillars, carrying capitals of great originality holding up a vaulted roof that has real rafters of timber inserted into it, a ribbing inherited and copied from wooden structure. The columns are strong and bulky, surmounted by sculptured capitals. In the far distance there is a stupa with a wooden umbrella on top and astonishingly the original wood has survived unharmed to this date.      Chaitya Hall, Bhaja, Maharashtra The Buddhist Stupa is another form of architecture, comprising a hemispherical dome, a solid structure into which one cannot enter. The stupa is a glorified, beautified, enlarged funerary mound: what was once the resting place of the bo...
