Celebrating Day of Belongingness
Belongingness is a strong and inevitable feeling that exists in human nature. A sense of belonging to a social peer group can enhance student‟s aca-
demic achievement. The need to belong is apparent at the workplace also. Employees want to fit in at work as much as students want to fit in at school/
college. They look for the support and recognition from the leaders, bosses and other employees.
Charismatic leaders are particularly well-known to demonstrate organizational behaviours such as facilitating and fulfilment if they feel a sense of
belongingness with their work group and so is our dynamic Chancellor and President, RBEF Dr. Atul Chauhan Ji whose Birthday is celebrated as
“Day of Belongingness”.
Amity Law School, Noida under the themes provided: Reduced Inequality, Peace and Justice and Strong Institutions for celebrating “Day of Be-
longingness” organized various competitions, like: Debate Competition was conducted by Dr. Niru Sharan and Ms. Priyanka Ghai on the Topic –
“Motion: This house believes that Technology has made man all powerful.” Group Discussion was organised by Dr. Swati Bijawat and Mr. Indraneil
Banerjee on the Topic – “How to manage mental wellbeing during COVID -19.” Essay Writing Competition was conducted by Ms. Mini Srivastava,
Dr. Abhilasha Raj, Dr. Roksana Hassanshahi Varashti, Dr. Chandrika on the Topic –
Poster Making Competition was organised by Dr. Lekha Rani Singh, Dr. Ruchi Lal, Dr. Dipti Pandey and Dr. Shivani Singh. Poster is the
best way of illustrating and communicating your feelings to someone. So, to show the feeling of Belongingness the students showcased their views on the
following sub-themes: Belongingness: A Window into Social Change, Social Networking Sites: Creating Feeling of Belongingness or Alienating People,
Pastoral Care and Higher Education, Gender Inequality: Workplace Discrimination, Having an Ally Protects Workers from Exclusion, Peer Pressure:
Effective or Harmful and Exclusion Leads to Team (and Self-) Sabotage.
These competitions provided a platform to showcase holistic development of the young minds that are shaped by this reputed organization. Amity
University has taken learning to a new level, where technical knowledge is expanded beyond the pages of a textbook to provide the nation with a skilled
workforce as well as conscientious citizens.

Amity Youth Forum 2020 Online
For the first time in history of Indian higher education a youth festival, Amity Youth Forum (AYF) 2020 Online was organized from 08th
May,
2020 to 11th
May, 2020 on the theme „Creatively Engaging Youth: With Students, For Students, By Students‟. The online forum consisted of many
creative and knowledge driven events and activities which were not only devised to challenge the abilities of students from higher education institutions
but also to keep the youth across the country actively engaged during the lockdown period.
The AYF 2020 Online was inaugurated by Shri Arif Mohammad Khan Ji, Governor of Kerala, Chief Guest for the occasion Sir talked about
„Challenges and opportunities for developing Future leadership among Youth‟. He praised Amity for emerging as one of the major universities and also
congratulated the Chancellor and his team for this noble task of creating this wonderful institution which is providing education to the youngsters and pro-
ducing global future citizens in an excellent manner.
Guest of Honour, Shri Pankaj Singh Ji, MLA talked about „Crafting Future through Youth for Nation Building‟. “Our efforts should also be ex-
traordinary during these extraordinary times and this is what Amity is doing. Everything has changed around us and will further change in the times to
come. And there is no better catalyst of change than our youth today. No doubt this change will bring challenges and opportunities along with it. The youth
will find solutions to these challenges and move ahead with it.”
Dr. Atul Chauhan, Chancellor, Amity Universities and President, RBEF shared his views on „Youth Leadership in 21st Century‟. “This is the
strength of Amity that when the world is in lockdown we are able to organize AYF online. We always tell our students that if they are humane and take
care of their families and the people around them, it will make them a good leader,” shared Dr. Chauhan who advised students to make use of their time
during this lockdown and develop their skills.
Prof. (Dr.) Balvinder Shukla Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh talked about „Creative Engagement of Youth for talent devel-
opment‟. “This online AYF is an innovation to keep students creatively engaged during the lock down imposed by the Corona Virus. Separation from the
campus was causing anxiety and stress among the students. To counter that, we have been organizing online Yoga and Zumba class for students, their fam-
ily and Faculty Members along with a 24x7 helpline for students which takes care of the well being of physical and mental health,‟ shared Dr. Shukla.
Speaking on „Harnessing youth power for positivity and Value Creation‟, Architect Divyakush, President, Indian Institute of Architects (IIA)
shared that it‟s important to involve the youth in the nation building process in a creative and result oriented manner. “To be a creative citizen, one needs to
have a comprehensive understanding of the entire social fabric. And those who cannot afford formal education should have access to informal education,‟‟
shared Mr. Divyakush asking for a total reform in education and for involving the youth in decision making process all across.
Mr. Rahul Shankar, COO ModiCare shared his views on „Developing youth for Global Economy‟ and stated that this is the defining time for the
youth. “We have not done enough to skill our youngsters. There is lack of support for them and enough examples are not being created for the youth to
emulate,” shared Mr. Shankar. He called for creating the right kind of skilling environment for the youth.
Amity Youth Forum 2020 Online was organized by the students of Amity University Uttar Pradesh which was an Online Platform for all young
students from all over the country to showcase their talent and participate in various technical, cultural, literary, art and theatre competitions. It was an ex-
perience to remember and an opportunity to form new bonds while celebrating our cherished cultures, heritage and values. AYF 2020 Online saw partici-
pation of thousands of students across India and globe in the online fest conducted by various Institutions of Amity University Uttar Pradesh.

Capital Punishment: The Pros and Cons
The death penalty is characterized as the approved, legitimate executing of a person as discipline for wrongdoing that was submitted. It is a legisla-
ture authorized activity which is regularly alluded to as “capital punishment” in the united states. Capital punishment otherwise called the death penalty. It
is the legitimate burden of death as discipline for wrongdoing. In 2004 four countries (China, Iran, Vietnam, and the US) represented ninety-seven percent
of every single worldwide execution. It is the eighth amendment, the established proviso that disallows “merciless and strange” discipline, that is at the
focal point of the discussion about the death penalty in America. Albeit most Americans bolster the death penalty under certain conditions, as per Gallup
support for the death penalty has dropped significantly from a high of 80% in 1994 to around 60% today.
Supreme Court on the Validity of Punishment in India
Article 21 of the Indian constitution guarantees the fundamental rights to life and freedom for all people. It includes no individual will be denied of
his life or individual freedom aside from as indicated by the method set up by law. This has been legitimately translated to mean on the off chance that
there is a strategy, which is reasonable and substantial, at that point the state by surrounding a law can deny an individual of his life. While the focal gov-
ernment has reliably kept up it would keep capital punishment in the rule books to go about as an obstacle, and for the individual who is a risk to society.
In Jagmohan Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh (1973), at the point in Rajendra Prasad v. State of Uttar Pradesh (1979) lastly in Bachan Singh v. State of Pun-
jab (1980), the Supreme court confirmed the scared legitimacy of capital punishment. It said that if the death penalty is given in the law and the method is a
reasonable, just and sensible one, capital punishment can be granted to a convict.
Latest Developments
In 2007, the death penalty information centre discharged a report “A crisis of confidence: Americans doubts about the death penalty.” The supreme
court has decided that capital punishment ought to mirror the “still, small voice of the network” and that its application ought to be estimated against soci-
ety‟s” developing norms of conventionality. This most recent report proposes that 60% of Americans don‟t accept that capital punishment is an obstruction
to kill. Accordingly, right around 40% accept their ethical convection would exclude them from serving on a capital case. Furthermore, when asked
whether they learn toward capital punishment or life in jail without the chance for further appeal as discipline for homicide, the respondents were part:
47% capital punishment, 43% jail, 10% uncertain. Curiously, 75% accepts that a “higher level of evidence” is required in a capital case than in a “jail as
discipline” case.
Pros of Capital Punishment
Capital punishment costs the legislature less rather than life detainment without the chance for further appeal: defenders state regardless of costs
brought about by the legislature from forcing the death penalty, capital punishment is as yet less expensive contrasted with the expenses of existence with-
out the chance for further appeal.
It prevents would-be hoodlums to submit lawful offenses: supporters of capital punishment refers to models on how forcing capital punishment or
canceling it has influenced wrongdoing act. As per an examination directed in late 1960. There was a 7% wrongdoing rate increment on the years when
this law was nullified. Then again fewer violations were submitted with the expansion in a number of prisoners in the death row who were executed every
year.
The non-appearance of capital punishment is synonymous to wrongdoing rate increment: as revealed by time magazine, an expected 2,00,000 indi-
viduals in the United States have been causalities of wrongdoings, from strike to kill. With deficient laws to address these issues or the absence of teeth in
these laws, offenders become reckless and older to prep rate appalling violations as a result of the mercy in disciplines and escape clauses in the equity
framework.
Cons of Capital Punishment
Blameless individuals are unlawfully executed: - one of the contentions of the adversaries of capital punishments is the certainly of sending blame-
less individuals who are wrongly denounced to death row and in the end execution. The supposed thing about this, according to those who are opposed is
that blamelessness is demonstrated after the execution has been done.
Capital punishment is a type of vengeance: - while defenders state that impressive the death penalty is a type of requital, that is, to rebuff who has
carried out wrongdoing, rivals contend that it is vengeance. For the last mentioned, to vindicate wrongdoing focused on another individual might be rea-
sonable yet slaughtering somebody for killing someone else is additionally illegal. It is wrongdoing in itself that is just covered by the term the death pen-
alty.

Inconsistencies of IBC with other Legislations
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (“IBC”), enacted in 2016, has introduced exemplary and noteworthy changes in the law. The Code attempts to
provide an efficacious method for resolving financial stress while protecting the interest of the stakeholders. The Code has played remarkable part in maxi-
mising value of debtor‟s assets and restructuring of the sinking corporate debtor. However, the Code has been severely scrutinized and criticised on many
occasions. Since the Code is in its infancy, it continues to be a hot potato. The interface of the Code with other legislations has always been a matter of con-
tention and debate.
Section 238 of the Code is a non-obstante clause that stipulates that provisions laid down in the Code shall have an overriding effect over anything
inconsistent with it. Previously, the courts have given primacy to the IBC. All this started from the case of Innovative Industries where the question of over-
riding effect of IBC was first discussed. The Hon‟ble Supreme Court held that non obstante of IBC will reign over the provisions of Maharashtra Relief Un-
dertaking (Special Provisions Act) 1958. Then again in the case of SEI Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd, wherein the overriding effect of IBC over the provisions of
Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 was in question, an identical view was taken. Similarly, IBC has been from time to time been given primacy
over other legislations including the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Recently, the overriding effects of IBC came into the discussion with reference to Security and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (“SEBI Act”).
The SEBI Act plays a crucial role in regulating the Indian capital Market. It was specifically established to protect the interest of investors and regulating
healthy and orderly growth of securities market.
Section 14 of the Code talks about the commencement of moratorium period after the application of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process has
been admitted. It is a period wherein no judicial proceedings for recovery, enforcement of security interest, sale or transfer of assets, or termination of es-
sential contracts can be instituted or continued against the Corporate Debtor. While section 28(A) of the SEBI Act deals with recovery of amounts from a
company by selling off its movable and immovable properties. These two provisions stand in contradiction with each other.
The conflict: In the engrossing case of Bhanu Ram Vs HBN Dairies & Allied Ltd., HBN Dairies was operating an illegal collective Investment
Scheme(CIS) that had nearly 1100 crores of investors. With a view to return the money to depositors, the property of HBN Dairies was attached by SEBI.
Due to delay in recovery, few depositors approached NCLT for initiation of CIRP. The application was admitted and thereafter, the Principal Bench of Na-
tional Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) ordered SEBI to de-attach the immovable properties of the Corporate Debtor and held that IBC would reign over
the SEBI Act. It was stated that since the petition of insolvency was admitted and moratorium had kicked in, SEBI would not be allowed to recover any
amount by selling the assets of the Corporate Debtor. The order of NCLT was affirmed by the Hon‟ble National Company Law Appellate Tribunal
(“NCLAT”). Aggrieved by it, an appeal was preferred by the SEBI to the Supreme Court. This question of primacy is yet to be decided by the Supreme
Court. India‟s capital market regulator and bankruptcy administrator awaits clarity over the issue.
The ruling is likely to have extensive implication on the interpretation of overriding provisions contained in section 238 of the IBC. With time, the
perception that IBC will prevail over anything inconsistent with it has emerged and with the previous cases, the inclination in towards IBC is apparent. Giv-
ing priority to IBC will undoubtedly facilitate faster recovery and quicker resolution and the amount sealed in the asset can be released promptly.

National Register of Citizens in Assam: Humanitarian Crisis of Statelessness
National Register of Citizens also known as the NRC is actually a register which consists of the total and complete list people who are citizens of
India living in the State of Assam. The main concern and issue over the years in Assam has been the case of „outsiders‟ or „foreigners‟ who claim them-
selves to be the citizens of this country, they have also been termed as „infiltrators‟ because they are considered to be „illegal immigrants‟. To understand
the rise of this issue we need to trace back all the way to the years 1947-51 during the initial years of India‟s independence when Assam, then a colonial
province, witnessed huge waves of migration being close to the border, and later saw an even bigger crowd started to take refuge in India by crossing the
borders of Assam as it was a border state in independent India.
Then the compilation of first National Register of Citizens was done in the 1951, after the first ever Census of independent India was completed that
year. The first NRC consisted mainly of particulars of those people who then belonged to Assam and were residents of the same, the list was put together
after numerous and large amounts of data was gathered from each and every village existing in the state with the records of every house and holdings and
name and personal details of each and every person residing in the house and total number of residents of each house and later grand total of number of peo-
ple in each village who were living there at that time. This was the time was when the world saw the partition of the Indian subcontinent with Pakistan
which was the largest partition ever witnessed, and hence had led to massive communal riots which were a result of the vast amount of population ex-
changes that were taking place at the border as the division saw a large influx of Muslim farmers from East Bengal who wanted to settle in the pre-
dominantly Muslim concentrated Assam. The NRC was created based on the sole purpose to weed out and expel illegal immigrants who were thought to be
part of a bigger Pakistani conspiracy to infiltrate India, this process continued over many years and then came in the 1971 war i.e. the Bangladeshi libera-
tion movement which later saw the massive movement of Hindus and Muslim across the border from East Pakistan to West Bengal and Assam to escape
rape, murder, forced conversion and poverty and in hope for a better life.
Since then the Centre had made various efforts to send these refugees back to Bangladesh but were unsuccessful, but things changed as of 2014
when the Apex Court directed the Centre to update the NRC based on the 2009 amendment of Citizenship Rules. Citizenship is now being decided in the
state of Assam based on the compilation of both the 1951 and 1971 electoral rolls and various other documents showing tenancy records, birth certificates
or ancestral relations. This process of deciding citizenship is different from the rest of India, which is ascertained on the basis of birth.
Now, the matter of discussion is what will happen to those who are found to be illegal immigrants? The main concern of those being deported is that
they will be torn apart from their families just because they are not able to prove their Indian lineage, with main focus of the government being „mass depor-
tations‟ this process will render crores of people stateless and without any Fundamental rights or freedoms, moreover, will other countries even accept or
welcome these people to live in their country or will NRC lead them to be citizens of nowhere. This step will leave the so-called illegal immigrants exposed
them to atrocities, poverty, and constant violation of their human rights with no state to protect them. This step of the government of mass detention and
deportation is nothing but an inevitable Humanitarian crisis waiting to happen which will lead to millions of lives at stake. The NRC is hugely unfair spe-
cially towards the backward class women who are usually not given access to education and necessary documents.
The next concerning factor of this whole matter is the judicial front of it, i.e. people whose rights have been violated because of their names being
excluded from the list can request for the restoration of their rights in front of Foreigners‟ tribunals of Assam that have been established to look specifically
into these matters, these quasi- judicial bodies have been given the power to decide whether these people are foreigners or illegal immigrants or not. But the
biggest problem is that there are numerous flaws in this establishment and process which consists of problems right from the lack of proper legal aid to ex
parte orders and judgments that declare people foreigners without even a proper fair and unbiased trial, hence violating the cardinal principles of Natural
Justice. These tribunals are not well equipped to deal with these cases as there is not enough availability mature and judicially trained members. Higher
courts can be approached, but is not quite practical as it will only make the process more tedious, expensive and unaffordable for these poor, unprivileged
people.
Nothing has ever been said or clarified about the fate of those who are declared as foreigners, if whether they will be deported or continue to stay
without any rights and privileges as citizens of nowhere is still a blur. But the only right thing to do will be the fact that the Centre will need to take active
responsibility of those whose names are not on the list or of those who are deported in the future in furtherance of this process and take necessary measures
to rehabilitate, restore and look after those people who are left stateless after this whole process. It is high time to execute this process efficiently, to save
the lives of those at the brink of statelessness.

A Socio-Economic Advancement of the Newly Emerged Union Territories with the Revocation of Article 370 & 35a
India, as we know, is diverse in culture, tastes and habits, but as Indians, we share the same dreams. Before 1947, the dreams were for a free India.
Today, the dreams are to develop our nation in a faster pace for a transparent government which is effective yet for a smaller footprint of it in our everyday
lives. Contemporary India is very different from the India in which Mahatma Gandhi lived and worked. The biggest impediment for Jammu & Kashmir -
Article 370 and Article 35A has been removed now, it has indeed paved for the development of the two Union Territories. With the abrogation of Article
370, the dreams of Sardar Valllabhbhai Patel, B.R. Ambedkar and Syama Prasad Mukherjee have been fulfilled. Today, a new era in Jammu & Kashmir has
started.
While dealing with the benefits of scrapping Article 370 its pertinent we look into the recent speech given out by the Hon‟ble President Ram Nath
Kovind on the eve of the 73rd Independence day expressing his confidence that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will immensely benefit from the revoca-
tion of provisions of the said Article that gave special status with its division into two union territories. By this the people will have access and enjoy the
same rights and privileges as their fellow citizens in the rest of the country.
Major advantages of scrapping Article 370
1. Earlier all the provisions of the Indian Constitution was only partially applicable to Jammu & Kashmir which after the scrapping, all the Indian laws
would be 100% applicable with the same fundamental rights provided to Kashmiris as to any other Indian citizen.
2. The tri-coloured flag will be the national flag for the entire country.
3. Right to Education is very much applicable to the newly added UnionTerritories.
4. Boosted Land investments.
5. Article 35A stands nullified.
The Central Government can directly announce schemes and laws which can be well applicable to Kashmir as its now well integrated with India and
all its rules.
Land Investments
With the complicated earth science and unstabilized socio-political state of affairs, the residential and industrial market could take it slow to catch
up the momentum. But, with unionised infrastructural developments in segments like tourism, diversion, and retail the higher the land segments, sooner will
be the attraction on higher investment opportunities.
Such moves will also produce a positive impact on the decreasing property prices and costs prevailing for years in the state. A number of the prime locali-
ties haven't even seen a hike in the value from a decade. So, the removal of the restriction on property for commerce can be worth the land parcels and
buildings in these prime localities.
Furthermore, except for the Government policies such as strict implementation of RERA, the domestic investors ought to build a powerful land net-
work in boosting investors' confidence. The expansion model of alternative Tier-2 cities where the domestic investors attracted massive developers and cor-
porations to feature their property market could be an excellent example. Following a similar model, even these 2 Union territories will in the future become
associate investment hotspot for NRIs continually to speculate in scenic surroundings and profitable markets except for mid-level consumers.
Tourism & Medicine
The acknowledged edges conjointly reach the business enterprise and education sectors, with the adverts declaring that the “tourism potential of the
whole region is immense” and demand that “film shootings, adventure-tourism and spiritual tourism” can grow. Among alternative edges listed is that the
potential for Indian-administered Kashmir to become a medical business enterprise hub for patients from the center East and East Asia, “Large non-public
investment in health and education is predicted, world category health care suppliers to open their franchises and health centers. J&K will become medical
business enterprise for Middle East and East Asia,” a poster reads. Other predictions within the adverts embody enhancements to the standard of education,
particularly for women and provisions for the protection of the Kashmiri language.
Army involvement
Residents of Kashmir have reported that they need seen Indian troops place up posters lauding the Indian government‟s call and explaining its edges
in villages in Pulwama and Shopian districts. Each of these areas have a powerful history of anti-Indian sentiment. When asked at a press informing
whether or not the military was behind the campaign, army official, K J S Dhillon, didn't deny involvement however aforementioned that there was “no un-
ionised campaign. For the last thirty years, the military has been concerned in Sadbhavana (goodwill) activities, loads of interaction with opinion-makers,
the moulvis, teachers, students and sarpanches, for the advantage of the realm. In order to urge from them what's to be in hot water the advantage of the
area‟s development,” he said.
