Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule 19th DecemberTitle 2020 Pakistan approves chemical castration of sex offenders Pakistan has approved the chemical castration of rapists as part of sweeping new legislation sparked by outcry over the gang rape of a mother on a motorway. New laws approved by President Arif Alvi will see rape cases expedited through the courts and create the country’s first national sex offenders register. Pakistan is a deeply conservative and patriarchal nation where victims of sexual abuse often are too afraid to speak out, or where criminal complaints are frequently not investigated seriously. In September, protests erupted after a mother was raped on the side of the road in front of her children when her car broke down near Lahore.

According to the history of the Fig (Ficus:Carica) recorded in the Ency­ r:lopoodiaBritannica,1 it was probably one of the earliest objects of cultivation. , There are frequent allusions to it in the Hebrew Scriptures. According to ; Herodotus it may have been unknown to the Persians in the days of the First Cyrus. Pliny mentions varieties of figs ani::11the plant played an im­ ..portant part in Latin myths. This history of the fig testifies to the high value • set upon the fruit by' the nations of antiquity but it says nothing about its · early existence in India or its importation to the Indian provinces known to the Greeks and Romans. According to Dr. AITCHISONIZ the Fig orFicus Carica was " probably a of Afghanistan and Persia "3 and it is indigenom; in the Badghis 1.

  • The Case of Goa, India

    The Case of Goa, India

    109 ■ Article ■ The Formation of Local Public Spheres in a Multilingual Society: The Case of Goa, India ● Kyoko Matsukawa 1. Introduction It was Jurgen Habermas, in his Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere [1991(1989)], who drew our attention to the relationship between the media and the public sphere. Habermas argued that the public sphere originated from the rational- critical discourse among the reading public of newspapers in the eighteenth century. He further claimed that the expansion of powerful mass media in the nineteenth cen- tury transformed citizens into passive consumers of manipulated public opinions and this situation continues today [Calhoun 1993; Hanada 1996]. Habermas's description of historical changes in the public sphere summarized above is based on his analysis of Europe and seems to come from an assumption that the mass media developed linearly into the present form. However, when this propo- sition is applied to a multicultural and multilingual society like India, diverse forms of media and their distribution among people should be taken into consideration. In other words, the media assumed their own course of historical evolution not only at the national level, but also at the local level. This perspective of focusing on the "lo- cal" should be introduced to the analysis of the public sphere (or rather "public spheres") in India. In doing so, the question of the power of language and its relation to culture comes to the fore. 松 川 恭 子Kyoko Matsukawa, Faculty of Sociology, Nara University. Subject: Cultural Anthropology.

  • Goa Liberation Day

    Goa Liberation Day

    Goa Liberation Day drishtiias.com/printpdf/goa-liberation-day-1 Why in News The Prime Minister of India greeted the people of Goa on Goa Liberation Day, which falls on 19th December every year. Key Points The day marks the occasion when the Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 from 450 years of Portuguese rule. The Portuguese colonised several parts of India in 1510 but by the end of the 19th-century Portuguese colonies in India were limited to Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Anjediva Island (a part of Goa). As India gained independence on 15th August, 1947, it requested the Portuguese to cede their territories but they refused. The Goa liberation movement started off with small scale revolts, but reached its peak between 1940 to 1960. In 1961, after the failure of diplomatic efforts with Portuguese, the Indian Government launched Operation Vijay and annexed Daman and Diu and Goa with the Indian mainland on 19th December. On 30th May 1987, the territory was split and Goa was formed. Daman and Diu remained a Union Territory. Hence, 30th May is celebrated as the Statehood Day of Goa.

    ISSN 2603-6096 East India Company Power Projection: Kanhoji Angré and the Anglo-Portuguese Expedition of 1721 (La proyección de la compañía de la India Oriental: Kanhoji Angré y la expedición anglo- portuguesa de 1721) Edward Teggin Trinity College Dublin Recibido: 03/12/2020; Aceptado: 03/03/2021; Abstract This article examines the causes and consequences of the 1721 Anglo-Portuguese expedition through the prism of regional geopolitics, power projection, and the balancing of power. The existing narrative of the expedition, presently very unclear and full of inconsistencies, shall be revised through the use of the private papers of Sir Robert Cowan, governor of Bombay (1729-34). The existing accounts have until now not adequately incorporated the key role played by Cowan. This article is, as such, an important revision in the wider history of European geopolitics on the west coast of India in the early eighteenth century. Keywords Colonial Bombay; Colonial Goa; Kanhoji Angré; Marathas; Power Projection Resumen Este artículo examina las causas y consecuencias de la expedición anglo-portuguesa de 1721 a través del prisma de la geopolítica regional, la proyección de poder y el equilibrio de fuerzas. La narración existente de la expedición, actualmente muy poco clara y llena de incoherencias ha sido revisada a partir de los documentos privados de Sir Robert Cowan, Edward Teggin gobernador de Bombay (1729-34). Hasta ahora, los relatos existentes no han incorporado adecuadamente el papel clave desempeñado por Cowan. Este artículo constituye, por tanto, una importante revisión en la historia más amplia de la geopolítica europea en la costa occidental de la India a principios del siglo XVIII.
