UP govt going slow on investigation of murder of police inspector: Rihai Manch

By A Representative
Uttar Pradesh-based civil rights organization Rihai Manch has regretted that the body of police inspector Subodh Kumar was not given due respect like a martyr, even as chief minister Yogi Adityanath's statement suggests that he gives more importance to cow vigilantes than those who seek to protect human beings.
Rihai Manch, which proposes to organize a demonstration in Lucknow on December 7, said that the "criminal role of the government on the murder of its policeman is evident from the manner in which the investigation in the matter is being carried out." It added, "It has come to the light that the special investigation team has already wasted more than 48 hours."
Rihai Manch said, the attack of organized crowd in the name of the cow was carried out with the backing of the Bajrang Dal, Bharatiya Janata Youth Morcha, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, something that is not being looked into, which suggests the type of fear that exists among administrative officers.

Meanwhile, the main accused, Yogesh Raj, who belongs to the Bajrang Dal, has released a video, which shows Bajrang Dal involvement. Further, Shikhar Agrawal of the Yuva Morcha in yet another video has accused the murdered inspector of being "friendly" with Muslims, which suggests that the cop inspector was on target.

The 'Dr' debate masks a larger crisis in allied-health education

By Dr P K Gupta* India’s allied-health professions have long operated in a fragmented landscape of universities, hospitals, State authorities and private institutions, each with its own nomenclature, curriculum and standards. The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021 was meant to correct this by creating a unified national framework for education, professional regulation and institutional recognition. Few dispute the need for such oversight. The real question is whether standardisation is quietly becoming synonymous with longer courses, additional internships and new professional titles—changes that risk masking deeper gaps in clinical training, institutional capacity and affordability.

Pilgrimage or pollution? The waste crisis of Indian faith

By Raj Kumar Sinha* In today's times, there are certain issues that are constantly talked about and discussed, yet no visible impact seems to be made. Beyond water, soil, and pollution, one crisis that continues to be overlooked is waste. Like other life-threatening problems, waste too is gradually moving toward burying and obliterating us. After the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, approximately 8,000 tonnes of waste were left behind on the riverbanks, including bottles filled with urine.

Arrival of USS Lincoln: A ‘leisure trip’ to Thailand or a neo-colonial move to commodify women?

By Benyasiri Eimviriyapong The arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) for a ‘leisure trip’ in Thailand before returning to its campaign of destruction against the people of West Asia demands immediate interrogation and opposition. For us Thai people, and those in sites of American plunder across the globe, this a rattling of the US’ cold war colonial chains on its most loyal lap dog, while conducting a war of aggression in Iran and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. In allowing the USS Lincoln to dock, the Thai ruling elites are once again facilitating a system of imperial violence that extends far beyond Southeast Asian borders, a system which in our case, is predicated on sexual violence and femicide.
