India ranks 4th in the Global Firepower Index, 6th and 3rd in Economy index by nominal GDP and GDP-PPP respectively, 2nd in Global Population Prospectus and 1st in remittance receiving report (One Family at a Time). With all these under 10 ranks, the state is given a ‘to be super power’ title which is enough for the collective developments statistics. Indian development goes like Raghavan and Krishnan drives a Mercedes in the 10 member country so 2/10 of India drives a Mercedes and we are developed. Reality is the other 8 may not have enough public buses to travel. Development status of Individual life in the Democratic Republic cannot be drawn from the under 10 ranks. There are few other prospectus and indexes which are conveniently forgotten to keep up the ‘developed in 2020’ dream. Indian position in Global Happiness ranking keeps on bowing out as 118th in 2016, 122nd in 2017 and 133rd in 2018 out of 156 countries. The ‘to be super power’ kept only Afghanistan (145th) beh

New Sovereigns by Ananthu Ssajeev on Scribd THE NEW SOVEREIGNS Ananthu SS MA International Relations Every political theory professes certain kinds of leaders and leaderships. Since current political scenario is not fixed to any special kind of “isms”, no leader can be called as a pure liberalist, communist, fascist or any ist. As all the characters and actions of a leader nowadays are formulated by different areas of national interests which are coined by the “#hold on” politics. Still as per the present time let’s classify some of the promisors of the era. THE LIKE A BOSS TYPE –VLADMIR PUTIN This category enjoys the power and wants the acceptance of the people. They like the slave masters wants the people to admire them and to see them a step forward than the common man. In preaching it will be quoted that “I am one of you and see me as a fellow of yours”. In the inner conscience of the leader it will be said like, “yes it’s me and only me I am the saviour of the wor

The entire Greek political thought revolves around the important concept of justice. This is an abstract concept and is difficult to define it in fixed terms, as it is viewed differently by different thinkers. But for Aristotle, justice is of two types, universal justice and particular justice. The former refers to obedience to laws that one should be virtuous. As far as particular justice is concerned, it is again of two types, distributive justice and remedial or corrective justice. Distributive justice implies that the state should divide or distribute goods and wealth among citizens according to the merit. Again remedial justice is divided into two, dealing with voluntary transactions (civil law) and the dealing with involuntary transaction (criminal law).   Further, Aristotle added commercial and cumulative justice to the above-mentioned types of justice. The term "just," as used by Aristotle,' has two separate meanings .In its first meaning it is principally us

The Indian mythology has a unique concept of Ardhanareeswara (a half women and half men concept). It represents the futility of sex based variation.  Although some Hindu dharmic texts contain injunctions against homosexuality, a number of Hindu mythic stories have portrayed homosexual experience as natural and joyful. Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Community is a minority in the whole world and thus being one of them is considered a sin. Having the British implemented illogical article 377 still in our penal code shows how conservative and rigid our judiciary is .Marriage is not about gender it’s about love and care the couples can share each other. If the LGBT were the majority then the so called,"being straight” people could have been already suppressed. If someone has a freedom to be straight (which won't affect others) then some also should have a freedom to be an LGBT. Right to Privacy is to be a fundamental right. The irony is that we are much more comfortable
