The importance of George Soros’s Open Society https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/george-soros-indian-democracy-modi-remarks-open-society-8454825/ an open society is that in which any one group neither claims to have all the answers nor gets the power to push through those ‘answers’, crushing all opponents along the way....in the 20th century the most serious contest was not between the ‘right’ and the ‘left’ or capitalism and communism. It was between open and closed societies.
Market fundamentalism, Soros argued, is a mindset which reduces virtually all human interactions to transactional, contract-based relationships that must be valued in terms of a single common denominator, money.
Tu Zinda Hai , to zindagi ki jeet par yakeen kar

tu aa mera shringar kar , tu aa mujhe haseen kar
agar kahin hai swarg to , utar la zameen par
Tu zinda hai , tu zindagi ki jeet par yakeen kar

Hazar desh dar par aaye, maut tere dwar par
Magar tujhe na chhal saki , chali gayi wo haar kar
Hazar desh dar par aaye maut tere dwar par
Magar tujhe na chhal saki, chali gayi wo haar kar
Nayi suabh ke sang sada tujhe mili nayi umar
agar kahin hai swarg to , utar la zameen par
Tu zinda hai , tu zindagi ki jeet par yakeen kar
agar kahin hai swarg to , utar la zameen par
Tu zinda haaaaai
Bombay HC Quashes Charity Commissioner's Circular Banning Anti-Corruption Phrases In Trust Names https://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/bombay-hc-quashes-charity-commissioners-circular-banning-anti-corruption-phrases-in-trust-names
The Bombay High Court on Friday quashed a circular issued by the Charity Commissioner prohibiting use of the phrases on corruption for the names of charitable organisations and trusts observing “Naam mein kya rakha hai”
The bench highlighted that fighting corruption and protecting human rights align with the legal definition of “charitable purpose” under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act. They reasoned that these causes serve the public interest, stating, “Corruption has significant negative effects on all areas of human wellbeing and is perceived as one of the major problems, jeopardising economic development, the functioning and legitimacy of government institutions, the rule of law, and the validity of the State itself.

The RSS Must Confront Its Crisis of Vision https://thewire.in/religion/the-rss-must-confront-its-crisis-of-vision Harish Khare 03/Dec/2024 Even Bhagwat has felt compelled to restrain the more extreme elements within his fold, admonishing them against searching for a trishul under every mosque. But therein lies the problem.
The RSS has built a vast ecosystem of respectability. This includes eminent personalities – retired Supreme Court judges, generals, bureaucrats, IPS and IFS officers, middle-class professionals, and even housewives and grandmothers – singing the tune of a “Hindu renaissance” scripted in Nagpur.
The organisation is now reduced to banalities, such as advocating for Hindus in Bangladesh or urging families to “produce three children.”
Gujarat court acquits ex-IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt in custodial torture case https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/gujarat-court-acquits-ex-ips-officer-sanjiv-bhatt-in-custodial-torture-case/article68961190.ece Additional chief judicial magistrate Mukesh Pandya on Saturday (December 7, 2024) acquitted Bhatt, the then superintendent of police (SP) of Porbandar, in a case registered against him under IPC sections pertaining to causing grievous hurt to obtain confession and other provisions by giving him the benefit of the doubt due to lack of evidence.
He is also an accused in a case of alleged fabrication of evidence in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots cases along with activist Teesta Setalvad and former Gujarat director general of police R.B. Sreekumar.
Bhatt, who was removed from police service by the Gujarat government over unauthorised absence, moved the Supreme Court challenging the Gujarat High Court's January 9, 2024 order dismissing his appeal.

Global Risks 2024: Disinformation Tops Global Risks 2024 as Environmental Threats Intensify https://www.weforum.org/press/2024/01/global-risks-report-2024-press-release/ The nexus between falsified information and societal unrest will take centre stage amid elections in several major economies that are set to take place in the next two years. Interstate armed conflict is a top five concern over the next two years. With several live conflicts under way, underlying geopolitical tensions and corroding societal resilience risk are creating conflict contagion.
the report also explores other types of action that need not be exclusively dependent on cross-border cooperation, such as shoring up individual and state resilience through digital literacy campaigns on misinformation and disinformation, or fostering greater research and development on climate modelling and technologies with the potential to speed up the energy transition, with both public and private sectors playing a role.

Yogeshbhai has suggested that we should take up alternative (traditional) Agricuture practices in the national Capital Region: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JsXSbD6b03Q JD on WA: appreciate Yogeshbhai suggestion.. We will also have to talk about the Permaculture suggestion of mulching instead of crop burning in the capital region and elsewhere where there is canal irrigation, due to the glut of trying to re-use the field without giving the soil a chance to heal itself!

There had been a steep decline in area under grasslands of Banni. In 1989, the Banni grassland area was spread over 1,42,882 hectares which reduced to a mere 63,073 hectares in 2009. This deterioration has continued since 2009 and it is imperative for the government to intervene before the grassland ceases to exist. Due to the drastic reduction in the grassland area, the government has had to procure 1,388 lakh kg of fodder in the form of grass from outside Gujarat, which has resulted in a huge burden on the exchequer. Apart from restoring the ecology of the region, the government also aims to become self-reliant for fodder. - Gujarat Ecology Commission https://gec.gujarat.gov.in/Home/Bannigrassland

प्रवीण भाई मुच्छड़िया from Satwik, in a field trip at the Vikalp Sangam -
मानव और भौतिक भूगोल की पढ़ाई में जाना था कि धरती की जो परत हमें रहने को मिली, असल में वही डिसाइड करती रही हमारा जीवन, दिनचर्या, रोजगार, रहन–सहन, परम्परा, खान–पान, पहनावा, समाज और यहां तक कि धर्म भी! while studying human and physical geography, I learnt that the layer of earth that we got to live in, actually decided our life, daily routine, employment, lifestyle, tradition, food, clothing, society and even religion!
एक वैज्ञानिक अनुमान अनुसार यदि धरती की उम्र 1400 वर्ष मानी जाए तो इंसानी जीवन की उम्र 6 सेकेंड ही है और हमारी सभ्यता की उम्र तो मात्र 3 सेकेंड! According to a scientific estimate, if the age of the earth is considered to be 1400 years, then the age of human life is only 6 seconds and the age of our civilization is just 3 seconds!
अपने जीवन की स्थिति के बेहतर आंकलन के लिए ज्योग्राफी की समझ मददगार होती है। कच्छ की कहानी : 6 बताते हुए मेरा विचार और प्रगाढ़ हो रहा है कि भूगोल का शिक्षण ज्यादा से ज्यादा और घूमते–फिरते होना चाहिए, बेहतर समाज बनाने के लिए!Understanding geography is helpful for a better assessment of the condition of our life. While telling the story of Kutch I am convinced that the teaching of geography should be done as much as possible during our journey to create a better society!
