SC walks a tightrope over vacancies - The Supreme Court Collegium is striving to reach a consensus on recommendations to fill the five vacancies in the top court.

Top functionaries of Ashoka University say there were some ‘lapses’ in institutional processes. 4. Research institution joins efforts to bring law on right to health - A Jaipur based research institution has joined the efforts to bringing a “robust legislation” on right to health in Rajasthan with the emphasis on setting the standards for delivery of services, human resources and medical facilities. The 2021- 22 State budget has made a provision for the law along with a new model of public health. Quality of medical services cannot be measured unless the standards are laid down, said the institution IIHMR. 5. Amid protests, LS passes GNCTD amendment Bill - The Lok Sabha passed a Bill that defines that the word “government” in Delhi means the Lieutenant Governor (LG ) and makes it mandatory for the elected government in the national capital territory to take the opinion of the LG before any executive action. Amid strong protests from Opposition parties, including the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bill was passed by a voice vote. 6. Why stop at quota, asks SC judge - Justice Ravindra Bhat, one of the judges on the Constitution Bench hearing the question of 50% ceiling limit on reservation, asked why welfare should be dependent on caste quota benefits alone. Affirmative action not just reservation, he says while hearing the 50% ceiling limit case. 7. Refund penal interest on EMIs, SC directs lenders - The Supreme Court directed banks and financial institutions to refund compound interest, interest on interest or penal interest collected on EMI for loans during the period of moratorium from March 1 to August 31 last year. The court said the amount accumulated as compound/penal interest or interest on interest during the six-month moratorium on term loan EMIs should be given as “credit/adjusted in the next instalment of the loan account”. - The judgment also spelt relief for banks and lenders with the court lifting its nearly six-month bar on them from declaring accounts of borrowers as non performing assets (NPAs). The judgment concluded that the government’s scheme to restrict the waiver of interest on interest to loans worth only up to Rs 2-crore was irrational. 8. Justice Kaul inaugurates web portal - Supreme Court Judge Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul inaugurated the SAHYOG web portal, a first- of- its-kind platform that connects student research assistants with lawyers and organisations who have taken up pro-bono cases. 9. Quota percentage should be left to the States, T.N. tells SC - Tamil Nadu told a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court that the percentage of reservation should be left to the “subjective satisfaction” of individual States.

Senior advocate Shekhar Naphade and advocate Yogesh Kanna, for Tamil Nadu, contended that the Indira Sawhney judgment required a re look. 10. OTT case: SC stays all pleas in HCs - The Supreme Court stayed the proceedings in High Courts in cases seeking regulation of content shown on over-the-top (OTT) platforms. The hearing was based on a plea by the Centre to transfer the cases in the High Courts to the Supreme Court. 11. Notify health policy on rare diseases: HC - The Delhi High Court asked the Centre to finalise and notify the National Health Policy for Rare Diseases by March 31. Justice Prathiba M Singh also directed the government to set up a National Consortium for Research, Development and Therapeutics (NCRDT) for treatment of such diseases. - A rare disease is any disease that affects a small percentage of the population. In some parts of the world, most rare diseases are genetic and thus are present throughout the person's entire life, even if symptoms do not immediately appear. Many rare diseases appear early in life, and about 30% of children with rare diseases will die before reaching their fifth birthday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National News/ Interventions Daily snippets 1. Myanmar border shut amid strains over refugee crisis - Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga held a virtual meeting with Foreign Minister of Myanmar Zin Mar Aung amid the ongoing military crackdown following the February coup, even as India sealed all entry points along the border with the southeast Asian neighbour and is closely monitoring them to prevent any Myanmar national from entering the country. - The tussle between the Centre and the State on the issue has created a tough time for New Delhi and security agencies in handling the situation on the ground. There is considerable support and sympathy among the people of Mizoram over the situation in Myanmar as many have relations across the border. India and Myanmar have an arrangement called Free Movement Regime (FMR), which allows locals on both sides to go upto 16 km across the other side and stay up to 14 days. - In a letter to the four States bordering Myanmar dated March 10, the MHA said State governments have no powers to grant refugee status to any foreigner and India is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention of 1951 and its 1967 Protocol. 2. Indian- Israeli collaboration testing oral COVID vaccine - An Indian- Israeli collaboration has reportedly developed an oral vaccine for COVID -19, one that can be swallowed like a pill instead of being injected. A preliminary test in animals showed that the vaccine produced the expected antibodies that confer protection. However, the findings have not been reported in a scientific publication. - Premas Biotech, a Gurugram based biotechnology firm, and Oramed Pharmaceuticals, a Jerusalem headquartered company, have a long-standing collaboration on developing new drug delivery techniques. The nascent COVID 19 vaccine candidate is a “protein based VLP (Virus Like Particle) vaccine candidate” that generates “triple protection” against the SARS CoV 2 virus, i.e., it is able to target the spike, membrane, and envelope proteins of the coronavirus. Oravax, the company developing the vaccine, is a joint venture between Premas and Oramed. 3.

    EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH, VOL. I, ISSUE 6/ SEPEMBER 2013 ISSN 2286-4822, www.euacademic.org IMPACT FACTOR: 0.485 (GIF) Identity of Muslim Women in Hindi Movies KUMAR PARAG Department of Humanities NIT, Jalandhar India Abstract: Hindi movies are made with male gaze in view, the images of women are discussed sociologically or semiotically or as subservience. In such circumstances when Muslim women are projected, she is doubly marginalized. First as a woman, second as a representative of minority community. But this stereotype images were broken by Hindi movies like Nikaah (marriage) in 1982, Bazaar (market) in 1982, Bombay in 1994 and Fiza (atmosphere) in 2003. In these movies female protagonists enjoy key positions and try to break out of social environmental forces which are controlled by men. It also poses question to the audience of gender issues especially belonging to middle classes and the process of questioning is carried out at multiple levels through characterization and narrative modes. Here, the characters of Muslim women are not treated in abstract manner; in fact the basic projection centers around the need to be accepted and respected individually with Muslim woman’s journey towards self-definition. The paper is an enquiry of the representation of Muslim women in Hindi movies where a woman has to face social prejudices, orthodoxies and beliefs which are articulated and challenged, formulating a counter – hegemonic feminist discourse. Key words: Identity of Muslim women, Hindi movies, Socio-economic perspective, female emancipation. The issue of identity is central to female emancipation. When this question is attached to gender relations in a male dominated society especially Muslim community in India, it 1249 Kumar Parag – Identity of Muslim Women in Hindi Movies acquires multiple dimensions.
