                                        Introduction: Advancements in technology and industrial sectors have led the human species to many great heights. But every benefit comes with its consequences. This growth has made many compromises with our habitat and the environment. This development has money blinded the human race which for its benefits is constantly taking a dig on the environment and earth.

Citizenship Law

Image
The Indian Constitution that was implemented in 1950 guaranteed citizenship to all of the country's residents at the commencement of the constitution, and made no distinction on the basis of religion. The Indian government passed the Citizenship Act in 1955. The Act provided two means for foreigners to acquire Indian citizenship. People from "undivided India" were given a means of registration after seven years of residency in India. Those from other countries were given a means of naturalization after twelve years of residency in India. Political developments in the 1980's, particularly those related to the violent Assam movement against all migrants from Bangladesh, triggered revisions to the Citizenship Act of 1955. The Citizenship Act was first amended in 1985 after the Assam Accord was signed, wherein the Indian government of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi agreed to identify foreign citizens, remove the...

This piece of legislation is probably the one facing the most opposition since I started actively following politics in 2014. The objective of the bill is simple – to not consider people from specific countries and specific communities as illegal migrants, to drop all pending cases against them and clear their path for citizenship through naturalisation. This article is neither to support the act nor to blame it in the voice of the protesters you see on the streets in the JNU campus. I have rather tried to analyse the possible implications of its implementation. The major opposition to the act comes on account of keeping Muslims away from its provisions. Some extreme thinkers have gone as far as to think it of the government trying to create a Hindu Rashtra. All these thoughts are too far-fetched and exaggerated. The Supreme Court, in the SR Bommai vs Union of India c...

What Is Programming?

Programming  It  is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task. Programming can be done using a variety of computer "languages," such as C/C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, SQL and many more. If you had never learned to programme earlier then you might be wondering what is programming? So, basically, when we write a program,   we're giving the computer a series of commands that kind of look like a weird form of English. Computer programming  is the process of designing and building an  executable   computer program  for accomplishing a specific  computing  task.  Programming  involves tasks such as analysis, generating  algorithms , profiling algorithms' accuracy and resource consumption, and the implementation of algorithms in a chosen  programming language  (commonly referred to as  coding ). Programs are behind the websites and the ...
