  • US to Host G7
    US to host G7 May 14, 2020 Source: The Hindu Manifest pedagogy: G7 and G20 are two different power blocs in the world today who have gained significance with the growing multipolar world order. Hence it is necessary to read both from prelims as well as mains perspective. In news: Trump to host G7 meeting via video conference Placing it in syllabus: Multilateral groupings Dimensions: G7 history origin and headquarters Its contributions Criticisms against G7 and G20 as an alternative to it Content: The 46th G7 summit which was scheduled to be held through June 12, 2020, in Camp David, United States, will be conducted by video conference in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. Participants will include the leaders of the G7 member states as well as representatives of the European Union. The decision has come as nations around the world have sealed their borders and have banned travel to stop the virus’ spread. G7 history origin: G7 stands for “Group of Seven” industrialized nations. It used to be known as the G8 (Group of Eight) until 2014 when Russia was excluded because of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and West Germany formed the Group of Six in 1975 so that the noncommunist powers could come together to discuss important economic issues, global security etc… Canada joined the group in 1976. Russia joined in 1998 and signaled a cooperation between East and West after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. The G7 is an informal bloc and takes no mandatory decisions, so the leaders’ declarations at the end of the summit are not binding.

  • Nationalism in India Lesson
    DC-1 SEM-2 Paper: Nationalism in India Lesson: Beginning of constitutionalism in India Lesson Developer: Anushka Singh Research scholar, Political Science, University of Delhi 1 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Content: Introducing the chapter What is the idea of constitutionalism A brief history of the idea in the West and its introduction in the colony The early nationalists and Indian Councils Act of 1861 and 1892 More promises and fewer deliveries: Government of India Acts, 1909 and 1919 Post 1919 developments and India’s first attempt at constitution writing Government of India Act 1935 and the building blocks to a future constitution The road leading to the transfer of power The theory of constitutionalism at work Conclusion 2 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Introduction: The idea of constitutionalism is part of the basic idea of liberalism based on the notion of individual’s right to liberty. Along with other liberal notions,constitutionalism also travelled to India through British colonialism. However, on the one hand, the ideology of liberalism guaranteed the liberal rightsbut one the other hand it denied the same basic right to the colony. The justification to why an advanced liberal nation like England must colonize the ‘not yet’ liberal nation like India was also found within the ideology of liberalism itself. The rationale was that British colonialism in India was like a ‘civilization mission’ to train the colony how to tread the path of liberty.1 However, soon the English educated Indian intellectual class realised the gap between the claim that British Rule made and the oppressive and exploitative reality of colonialism.Consequently,there started the movement towards autonomy and self-governance by Indians.

  • Andaman's Cellular Jail Holds Lessons for the Current Indian Polity
    6/20/2017 Andaman’s Cellular jail holds lessons for the current Indian polity | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis TRENDING# Presidential Elections 2017 Ram Nath Kovind GST ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Exam results 2017 Andaman’s Cellular jail holds lessons for the current Indian polity Cellular jail, located at Andaman island’s Port Blair, where India’s freedom ghters were imprisoned Shares 515 JAWHAR SIRCAR | Mon, 8 May 2017-08:10am , DNA History is not just sending WhatsApp messages fabricating half-facts with palpable falsehoods, but it is a corpus that has to be referred to frequently, for total clarity The new game of appropriating national leaders who are long dead and gone as ‘Hindu nationalists’ is rather interesting. It competes with the pastime, popularised in the early decades after Independence, to absorb all divergent streams of the national movement under one banner of the ‘Indian National Congress’. This leads to eulogisation and ‘canonisation’ and here, one must examine the recent attempt to foist Vinayak Damodar Savarkar as the most noteworthy icon of Andaman’s infamous Cellular Jail. TTOOPP http://www.dnaindia.com/analysis/column­andaman­s­cellular­jail­holds­lessons­for­the­current­indian­polity­2430535 1/5 6/20/2017 Andaman’s Cellular jail holds lessons for the current Indian polity | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis Some MPs raised this issue in Parliament recently, alleging that all other freedom ¶ghters were ignored as the chief tourist attraction of the jail; that the sound and light show, focussed only on Savarkar. They called it the “dei¶cation of one individual who ¶nally compromised with the British”, but we may recall that Savarkar’s elevation had already begun in 2003 when the Vajpayee government named the Port Blair airport after him.

In preparing this indicative calendar, the Secretariat took into account two important criteria: a) the Twenty Second Meeting of the Contracting Parties (COP 22) should be held before the end of 2021; and b) overlapping with already planned major global relevant meetings should be avoided.

Proposal The proponents propose delisting of Dalbergia sissoo DC., from CITES Appendix II as it does not meet the listing criteria set out in Article II [(paragraphs 2(a)]of the Convention text or the criteria laid down in Annex 2(a) of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP17). The species is widely distributed and in India it is found abundantly in wild and on cultivation as well. The species has very fast growth rate and capacity to become naturalized outside of its native range, even it is invasive in some parts of the world. The regulation of trade in the species is not necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future and the harvest of specimens from the wild is not reducing the wild population to a level at which its survival might be threatened by continued harvesting or other influences.
