Daily Current Affairs Ily Current Affairs RACE IAS Daily current affairs 21 June 2021 Flag Satyagraha: Context: The Ministry of Culture on 18th June had organised a programme to observe the Flag Satyagraha in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. What is Flag Satyagraha? 1. The Flag Satyagraha movement by the freedom fighters shook the British government and it infused a new life into the freedom movement. 2. Also called the Jhanda Satyagraha, it was held in Jabalpur and Nagpur in 1923. 3. The news of flag hoisting in Jabalpur spread like fire in the country and after flags were hoisted at several places across the country. Significance: It is a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience that focused on exercising the right and freedom to hoist the nationalist flag and challenge the legitimacy of the British Rule in India through the defiance of laws prohibiting the hoisting of nationalist flags and restricting civil freedoms. Outcomes: The arrest of nationalist protestors demanding the right to hoist the flag caused an outcry across India especially as Gandhi had recently been arrested. 1. Nationalist leaders such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jamnalal Bajaj, Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari, Dr. Rajendra Prasad and RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 1 of 12 Vinoba Bhave organised the revolt and thousands of people from different regions traveled to Nagpur and other parts of the Central Provinces to participate in civil disobedience. 2. In the end, the British negotiated an agreement with Patel and other Congress leaders permitting the protestors to conduct their march unhindered and obtaining the release of all those arrested. Sources: PIB. Recusal of Judges: Context: Justice Indira Banerjee has recused herself from hearing a petition filed by the families of two BJP activists killed allegedly in the post poll violence in West Bengal. Background: The petition alleged that there was “indiscriminate” killing of innocent people in West Bengal following the election results by the “vengeful” ruling party in the State. What is Judicial Disqualification or Recusal? Judicial disqualification, referred to as recusal, is the act of abstaining from participation in an official action such as a legal proceeding due to a conflict of interest of the presiding court official or administrative officer. Grounds for Recusal: 1. The judge is biased in favour of one party, or against another, or that a reasonable objective observer would think he might be. 2. Interest in the subject matter, or relationship with someone who is interested in it. RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 2 of 12 3. Background or experience, such as the judge’s prior work as a lawyer. 4. Personal knowledge about the parties or the facts of the case. 5. Ex parte communications with lawyers or non-lawyers. 6. Rulings, comments or conduct. Are there any laws in this regard? There are no definite rules on recusals by Judges. 1. However, In taking oath of office, judges, both of the Supreme Court and of the high courts, promise to perform their duties, to deliver justice, “without fear or favour, affection or ill-will”. What has the Supreme Court said on this? Justice J. Chelameswar in his opinion in Supreme Court Advocates-on- Record Association v. Union of India (2015) held that “Where a judge has a pecuniary interest, no further inquiry as to whether there was a ‘real danger’ or ‘reasonable suspicion’ of bias is required to be undertaken”. Sources: the Hindu. How are poll results challenged, and when courts have set them aside? Context: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has filed an election petition in the Calcutta High Court challenging the Assembly election result of Nandigram constituency, where she had contested and lost. What’s the issue? RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 3 of 12 She has sought that Suvendhu Adhikari’s election be declared void on grounds of corrupt practice and discrepancies in the counting procedure conducted by the Returning Officer. What is an election petition? Post results, an election petition is the only legal remedy available to a voter or a candidate who believes there has been malpractice in an election. An election petition submitted to the High Court of the state in which the constituency is located. Such a petition has to be filed within 45 days from the date of the poll results; nothing is entertained by courts after that. 1. Although the Representative of the People Act of 1951 suggests that the High Court should try to conclude the trial within six months, it usually drags on for much longer, even years. Under Section 100 of the RP Act, an election petition can be filed on the grounds that: 1. Section 123 of the RP Act has a detailed list of what amounts to corrupt practice, including bribery, use of force or coercion, appeal to vote or refrain from voting on grounds of religion, race, community, and language. 2. Improper acceptance of the nomination of the winning candidate or improper rejection of a nomination. 3. Malpractice in the counting process, which includes improper reception, refusal or rejection of any vote, or the reception of any vote which is void. 4. Non-compliance with the provisions of the Constitution or the RP Act or any rules or orders made under the RP Act. What happens if the court finds that a contention of malpractice is correct? The verdict on an election petition, if found in favour of the petitioner, may result in a fresh election or the court announcing a new winner. Famous examples: RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 4 of 12 1. There are many examples, the most famous being the Allahabad High Court verdict of 1975 which set aside Indira Gandhi’s election from Rae Bareli constituency, four years earlier, on grounds of corrupt practice. 2. Another high-profile case was that of Congress leader C P Joshi’s loss in the Rajasthan Assembly elections in 2008, by one vote. Sources: Indian Express. Corporatization of ordnance factory board: Context The Union Cabinet has approved a plan to corporatize the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB). Ordnance Factory Board (OFB): It is an: umbrella body for the ordnance factories and related institutions, and is currently a subordinate office of the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The first Indian ordnance factory was set up in the year 1712 by the Dutch Company as a GunPowder Factory, West Bengal. 1. OFBs will be responsible for different verticals of the products such as the Ammunition and Explosives group will be engaged in production of ammunition while a Vehicles group will engage in production of defence mobility and combat vehicles. What Will Change? According to the plan, the 41 companies will reportedly be grouped under the new entities that will function like any other existing defence public sector undertaking (DPSU) like Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) or Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 5 of 12 What Necessitated The Restructuring? As per Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the ordnance factories: 1. Production in factories continued to fall short of targets and that the various ordnance factories could achieve targets for only 49 per cent of items in 2017-18. 2. A significant quantity of Army’s demand for some principal ammunition items remained outstanding as of 31 March 2018 which may adversely affect their operational preparedness. Thus, inefficiencies in production and delays can be deemed to be a primary reason behind the overhaul of OFB. Significance of new structure: 1. The restructuring is aimed at transforming the ordnance factories into productive and profitable assets, deepen their specialisation in product range, enhance competitiveness and improve quality and cost-efficiency. 2. The restructure would help in overcoming various shortcomings in the existing system of the OFB by eliminating inefficient supply chains and provide these companies incentive to become competitive and explore new opportunities in the market. 3. It will allow these companies autonomy as well as help improve accountability and efficiency. Concerns/Shortcomings of corporatization: 1. Corporatisation would eventually lead to privatisation. 2. The new corporate entities would not be able to survive the unique market environment of defence products that has very unstable demand and supply dynamics. 3. Restructuring will result in greater autonomy and lesser government control over the corporation but there is a fear of job loss. RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 6 of 12 Sources: the Hindu. Children and Digital Dumpsites report: Context: The new report, titled Children and Digital Dumpsites, was recently released by the WHO. Key findings: 1. More than 18 million children and adolescents working at e- waste dumpsites in low- and middle-income countries are potentially at the risk of severe health hazards. 2. They face risk due to discarded electronic devices or e-waste being dumped from high-income countries. What are the Concerns? e-waste contains over 1,000 precious metals and other substances like gold, copper, mercury and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 1. The processing is done in low-income countries, which do not have proper safeguarding regulation and which makes the process even more dangerous. 2. Children are especially preferred at these dumpsites because of their small and dexterous hands. 3. Several women, including expectant mothers, also work there. Processing e-waste exposes them as well as their children to these toxins, which can lead to premature births and stillbirth. 4. The hazardous impact of working at such sites is also experienced by families and communities that reside in the vicinity of these e-waste dumpsites. Volume of water generated across the world: RACE IAS www.raceias.com Page 7 of 12 The volume of e-waste generated is surging rapidly across the globe. About 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste was generated in 2019.

  • HISTORY of INDIAN PAINTING Historyofindianflag
    VIDYA BHAWAN BALIKA VIDYAPITH Subject : Fine Art (painting) class : 12th science/com Date : 17/06/20 RADHAKISHOR MONDAL HISTORY OF INDIAN PAINTING History of Indian Flag A number of flags with varying designs were used in the period preceding the Indian Independence Movement by the rulers of different princely states; the idea of a single Indian flag was first raised by the British rulers of India after the rebellion of 1857, which resulted in the establishment of direct imperial rule. The first flag, whose design was based on western heraldic standards, were similar to the flags of other British colonies, including Canada and South Africa; its red field included the Union Jack in the upper-left quadrant and a Star of India capped by the royal crown in the middle of the right half. To address the question of how the star conveyed "Indianness", Queen Victoria created the Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India to honour services to the empire by her Indian subjects. Subsequently, all the Indian princely states received flags with symbols based on the heraldic criteria of Europe including the right to fly defaced British red ensigns. A proposed flag for India from 1904, as seen in an Anglo- Indian weekly. The dark blue band represented Hindus and Buddhists, the green band represented Muslims, and the light blue band represented Christians. The vertical purple band on the left side contained the stars from the Orion constellation, which represented the provinces and states. The surrounding red border symbolised India being kept united and whole by British rule.

  • Moved by Love the Memoirs of Vinoba Bhave
    MOVED BY LOVE THE MEMOIRS OF VINOBA BHAVE (By Kalindi , Translated into English by Marjorie Sykes ) Preface This book is not Vinobaji's autobiography. He himself used to say that if he were to sit down and write, the result would not be 'the story of the self', I but a story of the 'not-self', because he was 'Vinoba the forgetful'. So he neither wrote nor dictated any such story of the not-self. But during the course of his thousands of talks he used to illustrate his topics by examples from experience, and these naturally included some incidents from his own life. This book is simply an attempt to pick out such incidents from different places and string them together. It follows that there are limits to what can be done. This is not a complete life story, only a glimpse of it. There is no attempt to give a full picture of every event, every thought, every step of the way. It brings together only chose incidents and stories which are to be had in Vinoba's own words. Some important events may therefore not be found in it, and in some places it will seem incomplete,, because the principle followed is to use only Vinoba's own account. Nevertheless, in spite of these limitations the glimpses will be found to be complete in themselves. Children are fond of playing with a 'jigsaw puzzle', where a complete picture, painted on a wooden plank, has been cut up into small parts of many shapes and sizes; the aim is to fit them together into their proper places and so re-build the picture.

Though India has a rich past and at the height of its glory she was one of the most advanced nations of the world yet with the passage of time her glory faded. Not only this but due to internal disunity the invaders could rale over India for centuries together. History is a witness that even at the darkest period of her history Indians continued their struggle for independence in one way for the other and did not agree to accept the fate to which they had been so unfortunately placed. Out modern Indian political thought Practically began with Gokhale who can be called the pioneer of our national movement and subsequently India produced very many political thinkers who continued their struggle against British Imperialism both under the flag of Indian National Congress and even outside that.

    An Illustrious Life 1 2 Acharya Vinoba Bhave 1 An Illustrious Life Birth and Childhood Acharya Vinoba Bhave was born in a Brahmin family of Maharashtra on September 11, 1895 at the village of Gagode in the Pen Tehsil (sub-division) of Kolaba district of Bombay Presidency. His mother, Rukmini Devi, was a deeply pious, devout woman and father, Sri Narhar Shambhurao Bhave, a textile technologist, was very scrupulous, methodical and straightforward, of stern character and discipline. As his father was in service in the Baroda State, later merged in the State of Bombay, now Maharashtra. Vinoba passed a large part of his childhood with his grandfather, Sri Shambhurao Bhave, a very pure and devout soul, who commanded a great reputation and authority in the locality. As Vinoba said, it was the pious Shambhurao who was largely responsible in giving a religious trend to his life. Of his parents’ five children, Vinoba was the first-born. The younger, Sri Balkova ran the Nature-cure clinic, founded by Mahatma Gandhi, at Uruli Kanchan near Poona. The third, Sri Shivaji Bhave, who had developed himself as philologist and a deep scholar of saints’ literature was an authority on Vinoba’s writings.

  • Hundred Facets of VINOBA
    Hundred Facets of VINOBA By: N. Krishnaswamy First Published : 2001 Price: Rs. 60/- Published by: Sahitya Mandira 18/B 7 th Cross Road, Narasimharaja Colony, Bangalore 560 019 Phone: +91-80-6672738 Hundred Facets of VINOBA PREFACE I am glad that " Hundred Facets of Vinoba" (HFOV) is in your hands at last. It is a simple biography of Vinoba in 108 anecdotes. Apart from Moved by Love (MBL) by Marjorie Sykes, there is no other biography of Vinoba at present. MBL is an English version of the Hindi book by Sister Kalindi of Brahma Vidya Mandir (BVM) of Paunar, Wardha. MBL is most authentic since it is in Vinoba's own words, as he spoke of his life on different occasions. But one drawback of MBL is that it is silent on some crucial aspects of Vinoba's remarkable life. HFOV attempts to be more comprehensive. I have borrowed heavily from MBL, particularly about Vinoba's childhood. In 1994,1 wrote a book Gandhiji-125 in Kannada to celebrate the 125th birthday of Bapu. Karnataka Gandhi Smaraka Nidhi published this book, it was sold out within four years. It was then in 1995 that I had this desire to publish a similar anecdotal biography of Vinoba. I could not do it then. I told Jayadev Bhai of my plans for such a book. I knew Jayadev Bhai as Jayasimha Rao in our Gandhi Sahitya Sangha in Bangalore during the forties when both of us were students. As a young man Jayanna, who was older than me by five years, went to Wardha to get training in Basic Education.
