Why Do We Need Redevelopment ?

The Worrying Trend :--

  • The unprecedented disruptions and bitterness in the House last week show structural deficiencies.
  • Data shows that over the past 15 years, the number of bills being passed in Parliament with little or no debate has grown, coinciding with a slide in the number of laws being referred to parliamentary committees or panels. This means that the two main functions of Parliament — scrutiny and debate — are under increasing stress.
  • It is because of this raft of successive changes that the balance of legislative power now leans in favour of political parties, and not law makers or state interests, and therefore, there is little to distinguish between the nature of the two chambers.
  • It seems that the country is fast approaching a new and troubling phase in its parliamentary function.

My View --

These are not the one-off type circumstances. This is like a trend over past many years, spreaded over the tenures of the UPA and the NDA, both. All these are the early symptoms of deterioration and indicate that the corrective steps are needed with reference to the structure or the set-up of Our Democracy.

Doing the Redevelopment or the Upgradation of Our Democracy, by whatever name you wish to refer to it, is the right way of responding to such troubles or the anticipated needs.

Uniform Civil Code

The controversy over this topic arises because it is generally correlated to the religious matters. But it need not be so. I suggest for introducing two separate statutes as follows, for moving one step further in that direction. (1) Family Affairs Recognition Act -- This statue should cover the matters related to registration of birth, death, marriage, divorce, child adoption, support to minor children, disowning of children (minor and adult, both), inherence of the family property, live in relationships, nomination, etc. This statute should be uniformly applicable to all persons, irrespective of the caste, religion, language, race etc. The rules related to family planning also should be uniformly applicable to all. All other existing statues on these matters should be repealed. The religious rituals should be obviously kept out the scope of this statute. (2) Religious Bodies Regulation Act -- This statue should cover the matters related to registration of the religious bodies, their ...

National Logistics Policy

One of the appreciable developments in the recent period is the publication of National Logistics Policy or NLP in short form. It was published / declared on 17th September 2022. A concept of Global Logistics Hub also is introduced in that policy. With this remarkable one forward step, India needs one more policy as National Manufacturing Policy (NMP). Without this policy, the logistics policy is more likely to result into transportation and distribution of imported goods into India. The transportation infrastructure should be utilized more for promoting the exports of Made in India goods. I hope that the said NMP also will be formulated and declared in near future. .
