Did Women Body Know About Manipur Viral Video? NCW Chief Says Officers Didn’t Respond to Complaints The Wire  Jul 22, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYGTDwf0n3o
एक चौंकाने वाले घटनाक्रम में यह पता चला है कि मणिपुर में हिंसा के दौरान बीते 4 मई को भीड़ द्वारा आदिवासी कुकी समुदाय की दो महिलाओं को नग्न अवस्था में घुमाने और उनके साथ सामूहिक बलात्कार करने की घटना की शिकायत राष्ट्रीय महिला आयोग यानी NCW से की गई थी.
न्यूज़लॉन्डी वेबसाइट की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, महिला आयोग को इस मामले पर बीते 12 जून को ही एक शिकायत भेजी गई थी, लेकिन शिकायतकर्ताओं को महिला आयोग की ओर से कभी कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं मिली.
शिकायतकर्ताओं ने इस खौफनाक घटना का सामना करनी वाली महिलाओं से बात की और फिर एनसीडब्ल्यू की अध्यक्ष रेखा शर्मा को ईमेल किया. शिकायत में स्पष्ट रूप से कहा गया है कि 4 मई को थौबल जिले के एक गांव की दो महिलाओं को ‘निर्वस्त्र कर घुमाया गया, पीटा गया और फिर दंगाई मेईतेई भीड़ ने सार्वजनिक रूप से बलात्कार किया’.

अब इसके बाद कई सवाल खड़े हो रहे है की क्या सच मे महिला आयोग को पता था और उन्होंने इसका संज्ञान नहीं लिया?

यही सवाल जब महिला आयोग chairperson रेखा शर्मा से पूछा गया तब उन्होंने कहा की उन्हें महिलाओं के मुद्दों के संबंध में अन्य शिकायतें मिली हैं और इसके लिए वह मणिपुर में अधिकारियों के पास तीन बार पहुंची थीं, लेकिन उनसे कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं मिली। पुलिस अधिकारी और chief secretary को पत्र लिखने ई बात रेखा शर्मा ने की, जब पूछा गया कि उन अधिकारियों को सामान कर के इस मुद्दे का संज्ञान यो नहि लिया, तो महिला आयोग की अध्यक्ष ने कहा की वे ऐसा कर के अधिकारियों का काम और नहि बढ़ाना चाहति थी

 *The world is gradually moving away from locally diverse system to food automation *By Devinder Sharma https://www.bizzbuzz.news/opinion/a-food-system-triangle-that-best-serves-the-brave-new-world-of-food-1234482

*‘food system’ refers to all the elements and activities related to producing and consuming food,  and their effects, including economic, health and environmental outcomes.  civil society  organisations  have questioned the increasing corporate influence.

 there is still is no clearly defined pathway transforming food systems

 the most important futuristic food systems – synthetic foods. The artificial food industry, which is growing at a fast pace, is actually using the climate neutrality targets to evolve a food system that does not employ farmers nor does it use land for food production. In other words, the synthetic food industry claims that it is keeping environment safe and encourages protection and conservation of precious biodiversity resources.

 Not only in the rich and developed countries, but many startups in Bangalore and Pune are already into cellular fermentation processes to produce edible proteins. Similarly, there are ongoing projects for synthetic biology products like animal-free white egg, animal-free milk and real vegan cheese using milk from yeast. A number of dairy products on the supermarket shelves are not using milk from livestock.

transformation on food systems is increasingly moving into the hands of stock holders.

In a country like India, where roughly 50 per cent of the population is engaged in farming, the challenge is on keeping the teeming millions on the
farm with a production system that increases farm incomes, and does not aggravate the climate crisis.

We need to empower civil society actors to fine tune appropriate actions and policy interventions.  showcased globally as to how it can be the climate-resilient pathway towards transforming the food systems. If people remain steadfast to naturally grown foods, using agro-ecological farming systems, which make farming economically viable and environmentally safe, the possibility is that the local diverse food system will be at the top of the food systems triangle.

 the world needs a production system by the masses, and not a production system for the masses.

Mikki Kendall Remembers the Indelible Work and Full Complexity of bell hooks https://lithub.com/mikki-kendall-remembers-the-indelible-work-and-full-complexity-of-bell-hooks/

When hooks wrote about power and how power relations are built into how we perceive one another; her work validated my personal belief that not looking away, being confrontational, rebelling against demands of being ladylike isn’t falling into the stereotype of being an Angry Black Woman, it is instead a way to short-circuit the power dynamics that seek to force women into perpetual subservience.

Rejecting the idea that progressive social movements could function in isolation, she tied together feminism, civil rights, and even economics into all her conversations.  thought process is integral to her definition of feminism, as “a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.”

hooks regularly challenged Black culture to not just reinvent itself in the face of outside oppressors, but to consider what was being built and how it would impact the future. Though she did not always agree with the focus of other Black icons, she largely centered her critiques on impact, challenging thought leaders and artists to consider their sometimes outsized impact in a society that tried to limit Black creativity to what would be palatable to white audiences. Creating for more than the white gaze or the male gaze was the goal.

मुंबई में बीजेपी के मंत्री ने 500 घरों पर चलवाए बुलडोजर, न सर्वे न नोटिस भारी बरसात में ढहाए घर https://www.workersunity.com/india/wp-me-pazulx-6ic/

निवासियों का आरोप है कि महाराष्ट्र में बीजेपी के एक मंत्री मंगल लोढ़ा के आदेश पर इस बस्ती पर बुलडोजर चलाया गया और मांग की है कि इस मंत्री पर एससी एसटी एक्ट के तहत मुकदमा दर्ज किया जाए।

अंबुजवाड़ी बस्ती में अधिकांश निवासी दलित, आदिवासी और पिछड़े वर्ग से आते हैं और उन्होंने अपनी कड़ी मेहनत और खून पसीने की कमाई से घर बनाए थे। ये घर 20-20 साल पुराने थे।

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar: Fountainhead of fundamentalism in India May 28, 2023  https://frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/veer-savarkar-myth-in-indian-freedom-struggle-by-tamil-writer-jeyamohan/article66903378.ece Savarkar called for an armed rebellion against the British and made preparations for it. He was not grounded by a sense of either reality or history. He had no understanding of the power of the great administrative machinery of the British or their massive army. Lacking a sense of history, he failed to see that the British government drew its power from the popular acceptance it had gained from the millions of Indian people it ruled over. 

Before the advent of Gandhi, during Savarkar’s era, some “intellectuals” believed that the British could be driven out using violent means. Once a violent struggle was initiated, they thought people would join in the riots to destroy the British. Fifty years later, tragically, the naxalites too shared the same belief and modus operandi. Savarkar, Bhagat Singh, and Subhash Chandra Bose were all people with a similar misapprehension of history. Their rebellion was a childish effort completely based on their belief in violence and a misbegotten sense of personal adventure. Their misplaced confidence came from imagining themselves to be extraordinary men capable of determining history. Essentially, it stemmed from a lack of faith in the great power of the people.

He was granted a pension by the British till 1947 and was given a home in Ratnagiri where he was confined. He was provided sustenance by the British. And at many times he wrote to the British that he needed an increase in pension, which is a fact and I am not alleging anything on my own.

A Taxing Tale: Assessing the Impact of Six Years of GST  https://janataweekly.org/a-taxing-tale-assessing-the-impact-of-six-years-of-gst Arun Kumar The ease of doing business has not come about and investment rates have not increased. An alternatively simpler GST exists but the government is not willing to admit its failure. Further, while the benefits have not accrued to the country, fiscal federalism has been dented.

For the huge unorganised sector in India, keeping track of input and output is difficult and they are unlikely to computerise it. So, the unorganised sector with a turnover of up to ₹50 lakh is exempted above that, and if they make a turnover of up to ₹1.5 crore, they are under the composition scheme with a flat 1 percent tax.

But they neither get ITC,(input tax credit)  nor can they offer ITC to their buyers. Thus, they face a disadvantage vis-à-vis the organised sector, which benefits from ITC. The result of GST is a shift in demand from the unorganised sector to the organised sector. 

The ease of doing business has not come about and investment rates have not increased. An alternatively simpler GST exists but the government is not willing to admit its failure. Further, while the benefits have not accrued to the country, fiscal federalism has been dented, which will have long-term consequences.
