  • Legalization of Gambling on Outcomes of Sporting Events - a Farcical Solution to an Uncontrollable Problem?
    15 LEGALIZATION OF GAMBLING ON OUTCOMES OF SPORTING EVENTS - A FARCICAL SOLUTION TO AN UNCONTROLLABLE PROBLEM? Inakshi Jha*, Shantanu Dey** Through this paper, the authors seek to delineate the contentious issue of legalization of gambling on sporting events in India within the circumscribing limits of the thriving legislative framework. Adopting a sequential examination of the issue in hand, the authors having engaged in an exhaustive analysis of the Indian Gambling Laws endorsing the objectives of inclusivity proceed towards a comprehensive illustrative perusal of arguments espousing for and against the cause of the issue in hand. Sensitive to the ideological force guiding the movement for the Pro- Legalization Agenda, the paper in its latter half makes a concerted effort to propose constructive structural solutions for the concretization of the change argued for before concluding the matters clarifying the authors stance on the issue vis-à-vis underscoring the “Legislative Dynamism” argument. I. THE CONCEPT OF GAMBLING IN SPORTS IN THE CONTEMPORARY ERA- AN OVERVIEW In the modern world beleaguered by the ideologies of materialism and monetary gains, the concept of Gambling in Sporting Events has acquired unprecedented importance as a procedure guaranteeing quick money. * Inakshi Jha, 2nd Year B.A. LL.B.,(Hons.), NALSAR University of Law. ** Shantanu Dey 2nd Year B.A. LL.B., (Hons.), NALSAR University of Law.

  • Navy News Week 47-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 47-1 26 November 2017 Yemen’s Houthis threaten to attack warships, oil tankers if ports stay closed Yemen’s armed Houthi movement said on Sunday it could attack warships and oil tankers from enemy countries in retaliation against the closure of Yemeni ports by a Saudi-led military coalition last week Saudi Arabia has blamed the Iran- allied Houthis for firing a ballistic missile towards Riyadh airport on Nov 4. Two days later, the Saudi-led coalition responded by closing access to Yemeni ports, saying this was needed to stop arms reaching the Houthis. The United Nations says the closure could cause a famine in Yemen that could kill millions of people if ports are not reopened. “The battleships and oil tankers of the aggression and their movements will not be safe from the fire of Yemeni naval forces if they are directed by the senior leadership (to attack),” the Houthis’ official media outlet Al Masirah said on its website, citing a military commander. Yemen lies beside the southern mouth of the Red Sea, one of the most important trade routes in the world for oil tankers, which pass near Yemen’s shores while heading from the Middle East through the Suez Canal to Europe. The Houthis, fighters drawn mainly from Yemen’s Zaidi Shi‘ite minority and allied to long-serving former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, control much of Yemen including the capital San‘aa. The Saudi-led military alliance is fighting in support of the internationally recognised government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is based in the southern port of Aden.
