Remembering
IRONLADY
Aditi Nagar
ndia has had a fair share
of political happenings
that have resulted in a
‘rupture’ of sorts, in the
way the nation was being
led. The 90’s were tumul-
tuous times for the na-
tion when economy was at its low-
est, governments fell and social
structure was being shaken. But
perhaps, the biggest political hap-
pening, since Independence, was the
cold blooded murder of the first, and
till now the only
, female Prime Min-
ister of the nation - Indira Gandhi.
Since that day, 38 years ago, po-
litical commentators and observers
have argued about India that could
have been had Indira been alive;
simply because the years of work
that were put in to develop her as an
ideal ‘leader’ and not a ‘constitu-
tional post holder’ may not come to
pass again.
Known for her ability to take
hard decisions and to stand by
them, Indira left a grand legacy
to carry forward, a legacy which
was carried ahead, for a short
time, by her son, who groomed,
like his mother, young leaders
like current Rajasthan CM
Ashok Gehlot. Indira had huge
shoes to fill in for the Congress
and Gandhi family, but devoid
of Indira’s ‘guardianship’, the
current leadership of Congress
does not appear to be able to
carry forward the grand legacy
left by Indira. But while Indira
may have passed on, her ideolo-
gy and abilities are perhaps be-
ing displayed by Ashok
Gehlot, a three
time CM of
Rajasthan, who like her mentor
Indira, with whom he came in
contact in his twenties, is known
for running a ‘no-nonsense’ gov-
ernment and standing by the de-
cisions taken in public interest.
But what makes Indira relevant
even today is the fact that even after
38 years since her demise, Indira is
still ‘relevant’ in the current politi-
cal clime. In 1999, Indira Gandhi
was named “Woman of the Millen-
nium” in an online poll organised
by the BBC. In 2020, Gandhi was
named by Time magazine among
the world’s 100 powerful women
who defined the last century
. In fact,
such was her ‘influence’ that a
whole generation of female chil-
dren in Afghanistan was named
Indira!
On her 38th death anniversary,
First India remembers the ‘Iron
Lady of India’!

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Under RTE,
Education Dept is not
changing its system re-
garding fees and educa-
tion of unprivileged
children studying in
private schools. In such
a situation, not only are
the schools facing diffi-
culty, but due to minor
shortcomings, private
schools do not give ad-
mission. The reason is
that for every small de-
ficiency, the school’s
payment is stopped, and
school excludes such
students from the ad-
mission list, whose re-
cord has some lacking.
Usually, while mak-
ing Aadhaar card of
young children, family
members do not pay at-
tention to the name. For
example, if child’s
name is Ramaavatar
and Aadhaar card has
Ramavatar, child does
not get admission in a
private school under
RTE. Even if child is
admitted, his name is
removed from payment
list during physical ver-
ification. At present,
there are hundreds of
private schools in the
state, where students
are studying but gov-
ernment is not paying
their fees. Govt is sav-
ing money but private
schools are suffering.

IN-DEPTH
DANGERS OF NEW
TECHNOLOGY FOR
SOCIETY ARE NO
LONGER FICTIONAL
t’s no secret that
technology can be a
double-edged sword.
Nuclear technology
is a boon when it
comes to power and medicine
but that it can also destroy hu-
manity was demonstrated by
the US in Japan during the Sec-
ond World War. As advance-
ments are made in new technol-
ogies, what may have once
sounded fictional is now a real-
ity. Similar concerns now sur-
round new financial technolo-
gies like crowd funding, Inter-
net, social media and drones are
also proving to be a risk for hu-
manity with the growing risk of
terrorists misusing them. The
biggest fear is of these technolo-
gies, like the dark web, falling
into the hands of terrorists.
The danger becomes bigger
when countries provide safe ha-
ven to terrorists and even equip-
ping them to carry out their ne-
farious designs. There are also
countrieswhichblockanyaction
mooted against a terrorist or ter-
rorist organization. Until Paki-
stan and China see sense in not
protecting terrorists, UN’s coun-
ter-terror moves will be futile.

fter Uttarakhand
it is Gujarat’s
turn to announce
forming a com-
mittee on uni-
form civil code. Uttara-
khand’s five-member com-
mittee of experts headed by
Ranjana Desai, a retired Su-
preme Court judge, held its
first meeting in July. Guja-
rat’s announcement comes
just before Assembly elec-
tions with the obvious at-
tempt to consolidate Hindu
votes although the BJP has a
strong chance of romping
home in the state one more
time. Not ready to let BJP run
away with advantage, Arvind
Kejriwal has also demanded
the implementation of uni-
form civil code. The two
states are empowered to en-
act laws on succession and
family as these laws fall un-
der the concurrent list. Goa
is the only state to have a uni-
form civil code.
Implementing a uniform
civil code across the country,
however, is the prerogative
of Parliament. It was there
on the BJP’s election mani-
festo in 1998 and 2019 and a
Bill was proposed to be intro-
duced in Parliament in 2019
but the proposal was with-
drawn for making changes
amid protests from the Oppo-
sition. The Centre informed
the Supreme Court in Octo-
ber of matter being placed
before the Law Commission.
Article 44 of the Constitu-
tion, being one of Directive
Principles, allows UCC but
successive governments have
preferred religion-based civil
laws to avoid changes in the
personal laws of any commu-
nity. An attempt by the BJP
to bring about a uniform
civil law is strongly being op-
posed by the Muslim Person-
al Law Board. Despite Oppo-
sition the Central govern-
ment passed the Muslim
Women (Protection of Rights
on Marriage) Bill to end the
system of triple talaq.

A
ANIMAL WELFARE AND
CULTURAL RIGHTS
he first legislation on the
subject of wildlife protection
was the Wild Birds Protec-
tion Act of 1887 – but as the
name suggests, it was limited
to possession and sale of
specified birds, as for exam-
ple the Great Indian Bustard
and certain varieties of ea-
gles and owls during the
breeding season. It was ex-
tended to include animals
like tigers and cheetahs in
1912, and the legislation was
called the Wild Birds and
Animals Protection Act.
However it should be noted
that the British Indian laws
were not applicable in the In-
dian states which occupied
half the territorial area of
the country at that time, and
in any case it was in these
states that ‘shikar’ had be-
come an important means to
curry favour with the British
Residents, Political agents
and senior functionaries of
the Raj. From 1935, forests,
and by implication wildlife
became were transferred to
the provincial list, and it was
not until the passage of the
1972 Wildlife Protection Act
that these were again
brought under the concur-
rent list .
While the generally ac-
cepted view is that the ex-
tinction of species like the
cheetah and the near decima-
tion of tiger, as well as In-
dia’s commitment to the
CITES, which was conceptu-
alised as early as 1963 led to
the passage of the Act, some
believe that this was the ‘last
nail in the coffin’ of the
princely states whose privy
purses had been
abolished earlier,
and who were the
only organized pa-
trons of ‘shikar’.
The Act provided
for the formation
of wildlife advi-
sory boards, wild-
life wardens, and
the preparation
of a comprehen-
sive list of the en-
dangered wildlife
of the country.
The Act prohib-
ited the hunting
and trading of
endangered spe-
cies and provid-
ed for licenses for the sale,
transfer, and possession of
some wildlife species besides
paving the way for the forma-
tion of the Central Zoo Au-
thority. The National Board
for Wildlife, an apex body,
chaired by the PM was con-
stituted as a statutory organ-
ization under the provisions
of this Act.
The next major fillip to the
legal regime for the protec-
tion of wildlife came with the
passage of the forty second
constitutional amendment
of 1976 . It introduce section
48A which directed the State
to protect and improve the
environment and safeguard
wildlife and forests. Of equal
significance was the inclu-
sion of wildlife protection
under Article 51A which in-
troduced the concept of fun-
damental duties for the peo-
ple of India. The protection
and and improvement of the
natural environment includ-
ing forests, lakes, rivers, and
wildlife and to have compas-
sion for living creatures was
included amongst fundamen-
tal duties .
In fact, Article 51A has
been called the Magna Carta
of animal rights in the coun-
try. This view was taken by
the Supreme Court when the
The Animal Welfare Board
of India filed a case in 2011
for an outright ban on Jal-
likattu because of the cruelty
to animals and the threat to
public safety
. In 2014, the Su-
preme Court banned the bull-
taming sport, but all political
parties in Tamil Nadu were
united in their view that Jal-
likattu was a cultural right
protected under Article 29
(1). The matter is still under
he consideration of the Su-
preme Court, and the argu-
ments for and against will
merit a separate column!

(Independent Charge)
Dr Jitendra Singh said
on Sunday that BJP re-

Dr Singh said that the

He charged that even
apple growers were giv-
en a raw deal by the pre-

ment and the Himachali
Seb (Apple), instead of
being a Himachal iden-
tity across the country,
became a subject of

Dr Jitendra Singh
said that people of this
hill state had not forgot-
ten the ill-deeds of ex-
Chief Minister Veer
bhadra Singh, who
faced an IT probe of dis-
proportionate assets
case over the dubious
income shown by him.
The I-T probe in 2015
found that the sale of
apples from Singh’s
Shrikhand orchard in
Shimla district could
not have fetched him
more than Rs 64 lakh as
against Rs 1.55 crore he
showed in 2011.
He said that under
the guidance of PM

Himachal Pradesh not
only ensured proper im-
plementation of the

also lived upto the
“Double Engine” prin-
ciple by supplementing
most of the Central

their fast implementa-

New Delhi (PTI): As
India eyes setting up
its own space station
by 2035, the Indian
Space Research Or-
ganisation (ISRO) has
proposed to the indus-
try to collaborate with
it in developing a re-
usable rocket capable
of carrying heavier
payloads into orbit.
Dubbed as the Next-
Generation Launch
Vehicle (NGLV), ISRO
Chairman S Som-
anath said the space
agency was working
on the design of the
rocket and would like
the industry to col-
laborate with it in the
development.
“The intent is to
bring industry along
in the development
process. All the mon-
ey need not be invest-
ed by us. We want the
industry to invest to
create this rocket for
all of us,” Somanath
told PTI here.
He said the
rocket is
planned to
carry a 10
tonne pay-
load in the
Geosta-
tionary
Trans-
fer Or-
bit (GTO) or 20 tonnes
to the low earth orbit.
Another ISRO offi-
cial said the new rock-
et would be helpful as
India plans to have its
own space station by
2035 and was also eye-
ing deep space mis-
sions, human space
flights, cargo mis-
sions and putting
multiple communica-
tion satellites into or-
bit at the same time.
The NGLV is envi-
sioned as a simple, ro-
bustmachinedesigned
for bulk manufactur-
ing that will make
space transportation
more cost effective.
Somanath said the
Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle(PSLV),ISRO’s
warhorse rocket, was
based on the technol-
ogy developed in the
1980's and cannot be
used to launch rockets
in future. ISRO plans
to have the design of
the NGLV ready
withinayearand
offer it to the

rally at bypoll-bound
Munugode segment,

legislators, who are
‘sons of the soil,’ re-
buffed the offer.Hitting
back, the BJP said the
MLAs were not worth
Rs 100 crore and assert-
ed it had no intention of
toppling the TRS gov-
ernment. Rao said,
“You have seen yester-
day. (BJP thinks) there
is one KCR who is talk-
ing loudly. Let’s see his
(political) end. They
have sent brokers to
buy each MLA for Rs
100 crore.
They wanted to buy
20 or 30 MLAs and top-
ple KCR’s government
and encroach Telanga-
na so that they can im-
plement privatisation
as per their will.”His
statement comes a day

TRS legislators were ar-
rested and remanded to
judicial custody
.

people were required in

AIR FORCE EXERCISE
Sangeeta Sharma
Jodhpur: The roar of
the fighter aircraft Ra-
fale Sukhoi and Tejas
can be heard once
again in the sky. The
Indian and French Air
Force are learning new
tricks of warfare by
sharing their experi-
ences with each other
by flying in these air-
craft in joint exercise
“Garuda”. Indian pi-
lots are showing their
power in Rafale. A con-
tingent of 220 French
soldiers along with
four Rafale fighter jets
and a multi-role tanker
transport is practicing
with the Indian Air
Force in Jodhpur. Ear-
lier, both the Air Force
had done joint exercis-
es at Jodhpur Airbase
in 2014 and the then
Chief of Air Staff flew
in Rafale aircraft for
the first time. Only af-
ter that India’s deal to
buy the Rafale could go
ahead.
The last time in the
joint exercise was a dif-
ferent experience for
Indian airmen to learn
to fly in Rafale fighter
jets, but now Rafale has
joined the Indian Air
Force fleet. Because of
this, Indian pilots are
showing their stamina
this time with Rafale,
Sukhai Tejas and Jag-
uar and LCH.
This joint exercise
will continue till No-

ON THE ‘TRACK’ OF DEVELOPMENT
First India Bureau
Banaskantha: Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
on Sunday alleged that
just the way goats are
purchased for Eid cele-
brations, the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) is
buying MLAs to topple
elected governments in
states. He said the BJP
had pulled down gov-
ernments using money
power in Arunachal
Pradesh, Karnataka,
Madhya Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh, and had
unsuccessfully tried to
unseat him as well in
Rajasthan, an apparent
reference to the tur-
moil when Gehlot was
set to fight the Congress
presidential polls.
He was speaking at a
rally in Khedbrahma
town of Sabarkantha
district in Gujarat,
where Assembly elec-
tions are due by the end
of the year.
CM Gehlot on Sun-
day said that the Con-
gress will fulfill every
promise made after
forming the govt in Gu-
jarat.
He said that the Con-
gress manifesto is like-
ly to be declared on 8th.
“We will provide free
treatment to all in Guja-
rat and every person
will be provided insur-
ance cover of Rs 10
lakh, 300 units of elec-
tricity will be provided
free and gas cylinders
will be available for 500
rupees,” he said during
the election rally in Ba-
naskantha.
He said that the Con-
gress will remove all
the shortcomings in
Gujarat after forming
the government and the
Rajasthan model will
be implemented.
The youths are not
getting jobs in Gujarat
while in Rajasthan, 3
lakh youths have been
given government jobs
and Contractual work-
ers are being made per-
manent, Gehlot said.
