developmental audit of a Village in India: Some reflections pressing dire needs
for legal initiatives, environmental planning and management strategies in wake
of globalization: A Case Study (P.K. Shukla) CLICK HERE TO ABSTRACT
Globalization
is a boon for human being but it has its limited relevance only. It can prove
to be a ban also for a man, society and environmental if proper attention is not
devoted. Villages in India, likewise have received market- sustainable results
of globalization but there can be adverse impacts as well for a larger human society,
can be realized by going through this paper. The universe of the case study is
a village which has attained returns of economic sufficiency and prosperity for
almost total population of inhabitants but lost a lot in respects of environmental
wealth, social customs and rituals, human attitudes of volitional fellow feeling
etc. during a time span of twenty years. The results thus, present bewildering
pictures of a village lost in terms of its age-old sanctity of precious magnificent
benevolent characteristics for humanity, society, environment and nation. Accordingly,
it is apt to remark: if a village is lost, India is lost for Indianness, as India
resides in villages is the celebrated truthful adage. |

| A Critical Jurisprudential
Appraisal of Law and Justice in Crime of Honour Killings in India (Priyamvada
Shukla) CLICK HERE TO ABSTRACT Indian
cultures are very deep rooted. Many young people in India have been done to death
every year owing to 'Honour Killings'. It is because so?called honour killings
are based on the belief, deeply rooted in Indian cultures, which consider the
women as objects and commodities, and not as human beings endowed with dignity
and rights. Most honour killings occur in countries like India where the concept
of women is considered as a vessel of the family reputation. While honor killings
have elicited considerable attention and outrage, the jurists and human rights
activists argue that it is a matter of great concern and they should be regarded
as part of a much larger problem of violence against women. Numbers of women are
murdered by their families each year in the name of family "honor."
It is difficult to get precise numbers on the phenomenon of honor killing; the
murders frequently go unreported, the perpetrators unpunished, and the concept
of family honour justifies the act in the eyes of some societies. Officials often
claim that nothing can be done to halt the practice because the concept of women's
rights is not culturally relevant to deeply patriarchal societies. There is no
specific law in India to cover this crime.
This paper is an attempt to analyze
the jurisprudential aspects of the crime of honour killings in India, and some
suggestions have also been made to tackle this menace of society. |

Analysis of Water Pollution in India (Surendra Kumar Gupta) CLICK HERE TO ABSTRACT
Water
quality has become a major global concern due to ever increasing human developmental
activities. Water is one of the most essential requirements for all living beings,
Industrialization and human activity for a better quality of life has always resulted
in some. Impact on the environment leadings to equilibrium imbalance of the natural
system. Bolstered by recent legislative, administrative and judicial initiatives,
environmental, regulation in India bristles with new and interesting features.
Until the mid-eighties the regulatory system was fairly dull. In control and enforcement
techniques, there was little to distinguish this field from the general body of
law for instance, when parliament enacted the water act 1974. It adhered to the
pattern of numerous other Indian statutes and created yet another agency administered
licensing system this time to control effluent discharges into water. A breach
of the Act Invite Judge imposed penalties. The body of case law too. |
