And Technology, Pilani. *Corresponding Author: Email- [email protected] Received: October 20, 2011; Accepted: November 30, 2011 Abstract- Ethnic clashes have been common to the Indian subcontinent since the partition of India in 1947.The Hindu- Muslim riots during the partition of India are one of the most gruesome tragedies of World History. With the rise of the Hindu fundamentalist forces, ethnic riots have erupted time and again at different places in the Nation. The recent decades have witnessed a horrifying metamorphosis of communal violence into communal terrorism. The serial bomb blasts in Bombay (now renamed as Mumbai) on the 12th of March 1993 is the turning point in the form of communal violence; a really horrendous metamorphosis. This paper is an attempt to explore the religious terrorism as witnessed by the whole world when Bombay was targeted by meticulously planned serial bomb blasts under the camouflage of religion. Key words- Hindu-Muslim riots, World History, communal terrorism, serial bomb blasts, communal violence, religion. Introduction The Mumbai blasts of July, 2006, attracted wide publicity chosen for the execution of this ghastly task proves all over the world for two reasons.

  • Trends in Organized Crimes
    International Journal of Law and Legal Jurisprudence Studies :ISSN:2348-8212:Volume 3 Issue 4 154 TRENDS IN ORGANIZED CRIMES Manik Sethi and Smeeksha Pandey1 Abstract There is wide support for the argument and assertion that organized crime has increased in the last decade. But the problem for any discussion on organized crime is establishing the extent to which it exists and the size of the threat to democracy and security that it could represent. The myth, mystery and secrecy that surrounds organized crime and the clandestine nature with which it operates makes it hard to quantify and reach sound conclusions on. One of the most important factors is the establishing of a proper and sound working definition of organized crime in order to move away from the mythical notions that pervade the popular conscious and perhaps many security and intelligence institutions within India. Organized crime, it would seem, is extremely complex involving many different groups and people who operate in a variety of different ways and styles. Some it is equally important to establish the differences as well as the common features of organized crime. It is not possible to respond effectively to organized crime until it is fully understood. The goal of any organized criminal activity is to make huge profits that need to be laundered before the capital can be used to expand their illegal business empires. Rendering banking transparent at a business level would go some way to eradicating money laundering, ultimately impeding and inhibiting the expansion of organized crime, and arguably represents one of the key measures in its control.

    1 BAIL (For Magistrates) S.S. Upadhyay Former District & Sessions Judge/ Former Addl. Director (Training) Institute of Judicial Training & Research, UP, Lucknow. Member, Governing Body, Chandigarh Judicial Academy, Chandigarh. Former Legal Advisor to Governor Raj Bhawan, Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow Mobile : 9453048988 E-mail : [email protected] Website: lawhelpline.in 1. Object of Bail u/s 437 or 439 CrPC : It has been laid down from the earliest time that the object of Bail is to secure the appearance of the accused person at his trial by reasonable amount of Bail. The object of Bail is neither punitive nor preventive. Deprivation of liberty must be considered a punishment unless it can be required to ensure that an accused person will stand his trial when called upon. The courts owe more than verbal respect to the principle that punishment begins after convictions, and that every man is deemed to be innocent until duly tried and duly found guilty. From the earlier times, it was appreciated that detention in custody pending completion of trial could be a cause of great hardship. From time to time, necessity demands that some unconvicted persons should be held in custody pending trial to secure their attendance at the trial but in such case 'necessity' is the operative test. In this country, it would be quite contrary to the concept of personal liberty enshrined in the constitution that any persons should be punished in respect of any matter, upon which, he has not been convicted or that in any circumstances, he should be deprived of his liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution upon only the belief that he will tamper with the witnesses if left at liberty, save in the most extraordinary circumstances.

  • Representation of Sikh Character in Bollywood Movies:A Study on Selective Bollywood Movies
    PJAEE, 17(6) (2020) REPRESENTATION OF SIKH CHARACTER IN BOLLYWOOD MOVIES:A STUDY ON SELECTIVE BOLLYWOOD MOVIES Navpreet Kaur Assistant Professor University Institute of Media Studies, Chandigarh University, Punjab, India [email protected] Navpreet Kaur, Representation Of Sikh Character In Bollywood Movies: A Study On Selective Bollywood Movies– Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(6) (2020), ISSN 1567-214X. Keywords: Bollywood, Sikh, Sikh Character, War, Drama, Crime, Biopic, Action, Diljit Dosanhj, Punjab Abstract Sikhs have been ordinarily spoken to in mainstream Hindi film either as courageous warriors or as classless rustics. In the patriot message in which the envisioned was an urban North Indian, Hindu male, Sikh characters were uprooted and made to give entertainment. Bollywood stars have donned the turban to turn Sikh cool, Sikhs view the representation of the community in Bollywood as demeaning and have attempted to revive the Punjabi film industry as an attempt at authentic self-representation. But with the passage of time the Bollywood makers experimented with the role and images of Sikh character. Sunny Deol's starrer movie Border and Gadar led a foundation of Sikh identity and real image of Sikh community and open the doors for others. This paper examines representation of Sikhs in new Bollywood films to inquire if the romanticization of Sikhs as representing rustic authenticity is a clever marketing tactic used by the Bollywood. Introduction Bollywood is the sobriquet for India's Hindi language film industry, situated in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is all the more officially alluded to as Hindi film. The expression "Bollywood" is frequently utilized by non-Indians as a synecdoche to allude to the entire of Indian film; be that as it may, Bollywood legitimate is just a piece of the bigger Indian film industry, which incorporates other creation communities delivering films in numerous other Indian dialects.

Through this publication, I wish to thank on behalf of the Tibetan people, the People and Government of India for their consistent sympathy, support and hospitality extended to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Refugees over the last 46 years and the hope that this will continue till we return to Tibet.

We look forward to their continued support. We hope this publication will come handy to researchers as well as activists as a ready reference.
