A Mother's Due

Even Politics blocks a Uniform Civil Code Supreme Court Speaks up for Individual Right.
In a significant decision the Supreme Court allowed a single mother, who happened to be Christian, the right to apply for sole guardian ship of her young son without needing the consent of his biological father. It spoke of the relative disadvantage of Christian unwed mothers, who are not presumed to be the natural guardians of their children by the Guardians and Wards Act that governs these matters. The court also observed that the Uniform Civil Code envisioned in the Constitution's directive principles remains an unaddressed expectation.
This is a welcome ruling, one that comes down on the side of personal freedom and equal rights of citizenship. Like a similar judgment last year when the Supreme Court gave religious minorities the right to legally adopt children even if personal law contradicted it, this judgment expands freedom in the familial domain. It shows the way forward even as political debate on the Uniform Civil Code remains stuck in old arguments between right wing voices that want to use it as a weapon to efface minority personal laws now that the Hindu code has had to fall in line, and minorities who see it as an attempt to ride roughshod over their right to protect their religious tenets and cultural distinctiveness. Either way, this situation hurts women from minority communities.

Primary education first, religious later

Exempting madrasas and Vedic pathshalas from application of the RTE goes against Article 21A — a Fundamental Right

The Maharashtra government’s move to conduct a survey to get a headcount of out-of-school children has shocked many Muslim leaders, the Opposition and a section of the intelligentsia that have termed the move as ‘anti-minority’. The state considers those going to madrasas and Vedic pathshalas as out-of-school children. Unfortunately, they have failed to realise that the state is performing its duty under the Right to Education Act (RTE) and the relevant rules that require it to ensure compliance of norms to be followed by educational institutions to qualify as schools.
Under the RTE Act, schools are required to teach mathematics, science, English and social studies. Second, the critics of the move have ignored the fact that the issue relates to the Fundamental Right to free and compulsory education of children, particularly those from poor Muslim families who go to madrasas that primarily impart religious education.
Then should the State abdicate its constitutional duty of providing free and compulsory education to children in the age group of six and 14 because some religious leaders object to it?
There appears to be a sinister design to communalise the issue by painting the exercise as an attempt to interfere with Muslims’ right to religion and their right to establish and administer educational institutions — a Fundamental Right guaranteed under Article 30.

Skill development in rural India: A road map to efficient utilization of human resources

With a meagre 2.4% of existent landmass, India has been a homeland for 17.5% of total population of the globe. The distribution of Indian population is concentrated more in urban landscapes throughout the country. After almost eight decades after independence, though India is gradually making her way to be among economically developed nations, the pace of development can be accelerated largely with a right approach to an all-inclusive progress. Diversity has been a unique identity of the nation, but the populace is largely diversified being clustered based on multiple verticals such as economy, education, location, caste and community.

The 2001 census indicated that 72.2% of the total population is distributed in about 638,000 villages while the remaining 27.8% lives in more than 5,100 towns and over 280 urban agglomerations. From these demographics, the diversity of distribution in rural and urban localities is quite evident in India. While national leaders of pre-independent India such as Mahatma Gandhi emphasised on rural empowerment, post independent reorganisation of the country has been quite ineffective to convert such ideas into reality. Government initiatives for a developed India are not apathetic to rural peripheries, but the process is apparently inadequate. Either the functioning of government initiatives is with glitches or with serious setbacks on policy fronts. Issues such as farmer suicide still rage the country when the brighter face of a rich India shine abroad in other nations.
