Har ghar tiranga? Wanted har ghar naukri: right time to introspect what went wrong

By Syed Ahmed Ali* 

Seventy five years of Independence is the right time to introspect and should take the social impact report of the present government, and how people are feeling about their own country and their future.
We are proud that India has its largest ever adolescent and youth population in the world. According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) projections, India will continue to have one of the youngest populations in the world till 2030. But it’s very shocking after knowing that more than nine lakh Indians have given up their Indian citizenship since 2014 and more than six lakhs in the last five years. Is the data not a reflection that even after 75 years since we gained our independence from the British, we have been unable to build a country that is strong and stable enough for Indians to return and settle back after their professional or business stints abroad?
Youths are assets of the nation. They are educated, technologically skilled, and highly competent and yet, they are leaving India. This is a matter of great concern. The increased number of Indians becoming citizens of other countries since 2014, also shows the lack of confidence in them the future of their children and the direction of the nation in terms of securing basic rights for all its citizens and upholding certain principles for governing the country, and it is important for the government to deliver on the question of providing jobs to our youth. The government should provide at least one house for every family and provide a job for each family head so that everyone can live a life with respect.
The government, however, did not seem to be serious about this and was raising only emotional issues to side-track the real issues.
Youth is the backbone of the country and they are the future of the country. Sadly, many of our young minds are leaving the country just because they don’t find a bright future in the country.
If this situation continues then how can we become “Vishva Guru”?
Time to ponder and plan for the best.

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.

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.
