Egypt paved the way for Revolutions in Arab World

 Nile valley civilization is the first civilization which witnessed the people’s rebellion that started from Tahrir square which uprooted Hosni Mubarak, who dictated terms to Egyptians for nearly 40 years and now Cairo has its own elected government. Egypt is now stably moving ahead but the Tahrir square ignited a spark that has spread over Middle Eastern countries namely Syria, Yemen, Tunisia and Libya.

The outbreak of the people in the Middle Eastern countries after watching the courage which has been displayed by the people of Egypt, their urge for democracy and their will which prevailed over the will of their dictator is what we can term as the true and ultimate power of the people. It once again proved that if the people just stick together and declares a war against the wrong being done, then nothing can actually stop that wave of change. The world witnessed the unity of the Egyptians, the unity which is badly required in all those countries which are right now suffering either in on the hands of their dictator or the corrupt administration.

Talking of the corrupt administration, Pakistan and India are the names common for many. The latest break out of unity in India after brave Anna Hazare, coming to spotlight, and people joining the hands with him, after witnessing the corruption filled 2010 with the corruption scams worth lakhs of crores coming to light, its time for Pakistan to unite and stand against the system being followed in their nation that is democracy just on papers.

Syria has been under emergency law for nearly four decades firstly under Ba’ath party’s Hafez al-Assad who was in power for nearly 3 decades and now his dictating legacy is taken forward by his political heir Bashar-al-Assad who has been in power for over 10 years now who came to take the thrown as a controversial amendment that lowered legitimate age for his candidature as President. Libya largest country in Africa, with great petroleum resources came under seize when Egyptian and Tunisian revolution lead to fall of the dictators like Hosni Mubarak and Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Muammar Gaddafi or Col. Gaddafi who has ruled people of Libya for over four decades is now under fire from inside and with America, France and Britain also looking to uproot the Gaddafi Regime and obviously the people of Libya are following the way which has been paved by Egyptians.

These all revolutions can be viewed as outcry of people’s aspirations to bring populist democratic regimes.  Those will care for people interests and bring back the much needed change against very disturbed view in which continuous abuse of power by not so popular state heads which lead to insecure and highly dissatisfied masses, who out of sure disgust uprooted the Rulers of their respected countries and with many of the disputed heads now seeking asylums in other countries it is evident that they can view clearly the writing on the wall for them and accept that its curtains for them.

Let’s have open Discussion on this Indian IT A

  The first ever documented facts on freedom of speech were way back in 399BC when Socrates speaks to jury at his trial: ‘If you offered to let me off this time on condition I am not any longer to speak my mind… I should say to you, “Men of Athens, I shall obey the Gods rather than you.”‘ Cut two, 2015: Supreme Court struck down Article 66A and the freedom of speech and expressions prevails. Will it happen? Not until we decide to take care of the following: Awareness of rights and responsibilities We all know that the rights and responsibilities are the two sides of the same coin. Before demanding for your rights as the citizens of a country, one must abide by the rules too. While the article 19(1)(a) does gives us the right to freedom of speech and expression, it also has the conditional clause of “reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India, on the exercise of the right to freedom of speech and expression on the following grounds: • Security of State • F

Let’s all be human first and not men and women !

  “Women Empowerment”, the very topic has been discussed so much in almost every forum and every possible live event that it seems a challenge to write something new and relevant on it.Hence, it’s human empowerment for me. Surprisingly, as per Old English Etymology, the word “man” means “a thinker” or “to have a cognitive mind” and it was used with no reference to gender, i.e., for male and female both. As the civilizations changed, the meaning changed too and today we use men and women, male and female etc. to categorize the humans. It is important for me to refer to these details because the premises on which I am proposing the ideas of women empowerment solely lies on it. What do we have achieved so far? After 68 years of independence, we do have the framework and constitutional rights in place for women to ensure the upliftment and better life for them. The only place we lack is the implementation of the same to every nook and corner of India. The challenge also lies in being the l

Tapping the potential of Indian Youth

Image
  Youth! The UN, for statistical consistency across regions, defines ‘youth’, as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. With 28% of population of India in the age category of 10-24 years, we need to take the risk now or never. As quoted by Swami Vivekananda “Take risks in life, if you win, you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!” Whether we become the leader or a follower is secondary, at least we all will have something to do in life. Easier said than done? May be any of these clicks for us: Start Early When our young gen can handle mobiles, computers, video games and what not; they can learn other skills too during their academic years. The only requirement is to tweak the curriculum and make it more vocation based. Readers from 80’s and 90’s can easily recall the SUPW classes in their school. They learnt vocational skills like candle making, carpentry, embroidery etc. Today, it’s not only essential to make them i
