Saudi Out… China In! Pakistan forsaking its sovereignty and friendships in order to repay debts

China has again bailed out Pakistan as it has agreed to provide a $1.5 billion financing line to repay the $2 billion Saudi Arabia debt.

However, it seems that Pakistan wants to replace Saudi Arabia with China as the latter emerges as Pakistan’s principal economic and political supporter.

Are the fears over new law against separatism in France justified?

Islamic nations across the world and prominent Muslim leaders have decried the new French law as Islamophobic. President Emmanuel Macron was accused of attacking Islam and for trying to re-inventing French “secularism”. The critics of the law accused that such a law would stigmatise the French Muslim community and snatch their ‘religious freedom’.

In contrast to such criticisms and fear mongering, the law which was passed by the Lower House aims at instilling Republic’s values by giving powers to the authorities to keep a tab on religious groups, intervene associations and groups, curb hate speech, dignity of human life, instill secularism, puts conditions of homeschooling and aims to protect police officers and their families from online trolling and harassment.

It does not support the idea of rights being alienated to the concept of duties. Karma is considered as one’s highest duty in Hindu tradition. In Hindu Tradition Human dignity is an integral part of Right to life and hence the Hindu Notion of Human Rights is more broad and inclusive and it has place of all creations of God from nature to universe. It emphases a lot about duties and believes that rights of individual can be ensured only if everybody is committed towards its duties for humanity and sees life beyond physical existence and includes entire cosmos.

State-sponsored violation of Human Rights in West Bengal – Where are the torch bearers of civil liberties?

West Bengal is turning out to be a nightmare for the Hindus with the community being on the receiving end of religious fundamentalists who are thriving in the state due to what seems to be state patronage. The state machinery which was supposed to protect the human rights of the aggrieved Hindus, is accused of turning a blind eye to their woes under the present political dispensation. Further, the targeted political murders and using the state machinery to stop the freedom of speech and expression of the political opponents is in contravention of the stated principles of Human Rights charter.
