  • Sanskrit Literature and the Scientific Development in India
    SANSKRIT LITERATURE AND THE SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA By : Justice Markandey Katju, Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech delivered on 27.11.2010 at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi Friends, It is an honour for me to be invited to speak in this great University which has produced eminent scholars, many of them of world repute. It is also an honour for me to be invited to Varanasi, a city which has been a great seat of Indian culture for thousands of years. The topic which I have chosen to speak on today is : ‘Sanskrit Literature and the Scientific Development in India’. I have chosen this topic because this is the age of science, and to progress we must spread the scientific outlook among our masses. Today India is facing huge problems, social, economic and cultural. In my opinion these can only be solved by science. We have to spread the scientific outlook to every nook and corner of our country. And by science I mean not just physics, chemistry and biology but the entire scientific outlook. We must transform our people and make them modern minded. By modern I do not mean wearing a fine suit or tie or a pretty skirt or jeans. A person can be wearing that and yet be backward mentally. By being modern I mean having a modern mind, which means a logical mind, a questioning mind, a scientific mind. The foundation of Indian culture is based on the Sanskrit language. There is a misconception about the Sanskrit language that it is only a language for chanting mantras in temples or religious ceremonies.

  • India 2017 International Religious Freedom Report
    INDIA 2017 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of conscience and the right of all individuals to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion; mandates a secular state; requires the state to treat all religions impartially; and prohibits discrimination based on religion. It also states citizens must practice their faith in a way that does not adversely affect public order, morality, or health. Out of 29 states, eight have legislation restricting religious conversion, with laws in force in five of those states. Authorities often did not prosecute violence by vigilantes against persons, mostly Muslims, suspected of slaughtering or illegally transporting cows or trading in or consuming beef. Members of civil society and religious minorities stated that under the current government, religious minority communities felt increasingly vulnerable due to Hindu nationalist groups engaging in violence against non-Hindu individuals and their places of worship. Representatives of religious minority communities stated that, while the national government sometimes spoke out against incidents of violence, local political leaders often did not, and at times made public remarks individuals could interpret as condoning violence. On April 2, Chhattisgarh’s Chief Minister Raman Singh said anyone who killed a cow in his state would be hanged. Some longstanding legal cases involving religiously motivated violence and riots continued to advance slowly. In May the Kerala High Court annulled a marriage between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man based on third-party allegations the woman was forcibly converted to Islam, despite her denial she was forced; the Supreme Court’s review of the case continued at year’s end.

  • Corruption in Indian Judiciary Refereed Journal Indexed Journal UGC Approved Journal Yashveer Singh Impact Factor MJIF: 4.25 E-ISSN: 2454-6615 Abstract
    World Wide Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development WWJMRD 2017; 3(11): 149-154 www.wwjmrd.com International Journal Peer Reviewed Journal Corruption in Indian Judiciary Refereed Journal Indexed Journal UGC Approved Journal Yashveer Singh Impact Factor MJIF: 4.25 e-ISSN: 2454-6615 Abstract Justice Markandey Katju (retd), a former judge of the Supreme Court (SC), on 28th September 2015 Yashveer Singh Research Scholar while addressing the lawyers of Punjab and Haryana high court claimed that 50% of the higher Department of Law, M.D.U. judiciary consisting of SC and high court judges was corrupt. Katju, a former chairman of the Press Rohtak., India Council of India, was addressing lawyers at the Punjab and Haryana high court during a function organised by the Lawyers for Democracy, a young lawyers’ group, to mark Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s birth anniversary. “My assessment is that 50% of the higher judiciary has become corrupt,” Katju said, while claiming that he had got a dossier on Chief Justice of India HL Dattu’s alleged properties and given it to then law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and others, but to no avail. All of us are aware of the fact that the country, which we love so much has been in the clutches and the diabolical jaws of the virus, called corruption. Corruption in India is the main cause of its every failure. Every developmental project and the defense requirements are being over shadowed by the corrupt officials. Even the magistrates who are believed to be the axis of the law are corrupted to such an extent that millions of cases are pending for the last few years.

  • Self-Destruct Or the Practice of Nihilism  Dr
    Self-destruct or the Practice of Nihilism Dr. M.N. Buch A political ideology which considers an existing political order, social institutions and even values to be outdated, wrong or even unwarranted can result in the kind of destruction which followed the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. However, the Leninist vision of what the new social order should be was clear and, therefore, the destruction of the Tsarist regime was not an exercise in nihilism. When the change took place it was inevitable that there would be some anarchy, but because the basic structure of the Bolshevik State was simultaneously created a new regime, a new polity, a new social structure took over, Russia became the Soviet Union and the country survived and grew from strength to strength. Such a revolution is legitimate and though the change is sudden and initially destructive and though it is not evolutionary like a democracy, at least it does not create a black hole of nihilism. India is a democracy in which Article 19 gives complete freedom of speech and expression. Therefore, every India has the right to have to express his own ideas and ideology and there is no restriction on this, subject to what is stated in Article 19 of Constitution, that is, reasonable restrictions for the maintenance of national security and integrity, guarantee freedom to others and maintain public order and decency. That is why there is an environment of free for all in the matter of thought and expression of such thought, subject only to ensuring that this does not infringe the rights of others.

Speakers at the seminar included: Dr. Mujeeb Afzal, Professor at the School of Politics and International Relations at Quaid-e-Azam University; Lt. Gen. Asif Yasin Malik (Retd.), Former Secretary Defense and Ambassador Muhammad Saeed Khalid. Ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Coordinator Kashmir Cell, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also addressed the gathering as a Keynote Speaker. The panel discussion was chaired by Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Director General ISSI. The Director General ISSI, Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, welcomed the guests. He stated that the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A by Indian Prime Minister Modi is the fulfillment of a long ideological yearning under the Hindutva ideology promoted by the RSS, to make a predominantly homogeneous Hindu nation to the detriment of Muslim and other minorities of India. It is an attempt by BJP government of establishing “Akhand Bharat”, and Kashmir seems to be the first step in the Hindutva ideology being promoted by Prime Minister Modi and BJP. In the lead-up to the August 5, 2019 move which stripped the Indian Occupied Kashmir of its relative independence and placed it under the direct rule of the central government in New Delhi, India sent thousands of additional troops to the disputed region, imposed a crippling curfew, shut down telecommunications and internet, and arrested political leaders.
