National Issues

edited March 2013 in Miscellaneous
I tried to search but didn't find any integrated discussion thread on 'National Issues'. Lets collaborate here with articles/reports/views of/on issues of national concern (try to post the ones that are not published in The Hindu, as that's read by all of us) that come into our notice. Hopefully it would be of much help to prepare comprehensively and systematically.

  • On Indian Languages in Higher Education.

    Good initiative! Let's try to cover at least EPW, CPR and Frontline.
  • Yeah! Right! Even elsewhere also if someone finds something worth sharing would be most welcome. :)
  • @vagabond1 What is CPR?

    You mean Center for Policy Research? then it is a waste. Most of their publications are covered in newspapers like Tribune, The HIndu & Indian Express, no use covering it from their websites.
  • @ Partho

    Hmm, you can say that. But I find visiting the site more convenient. Anyways, it covers more of international issues rather than national issues, so its utility is limited. You should pitch in more sources which you find beneficial.
  • Some of the EPW articles which I found useful:
  • On rising antibiotic resistance in India.
  • Few more from EPW-Cash Transfer debate; Cartoon,caste and politics
  • 1pm1pm

    thanks guys:D

    much appreciated!
  • Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2013

    The Criminal Law (Aamendment) Bill, 2013, introduced in the Lok Sabha
    today, seeks to amend the Indian Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code,
    the Indian Evidence Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences
    Act. The bill widens the definition of rape and prescribes punishment which
    may extend to sentence of death if the victim dies during the commission of
    offence or is reduced to persistent vegetative state. In case of gang rape,
    the punishment will be for a minimum of twenty years extendable to life.
    The amendments also seek specific provisions for punishment for the
    offences of causing grievous hurt by acid attack, punishment for stalking,
    voyeurism and sexual harassment.
    According to the Statement of Objects and Reasons of the bill, it will be
    mandatory for all hospitals to immediately provide first aid and medical
    treatment free of cost to the victims of the acid attack or rape.
