The Flame Of Amar Jawan Jyoti now glows with that of the National War Memorial.


~Preet


In an unexpected move, the Government decided to shift the historic Amar Jawan Jyoti and merged it with the war memorial flame. This iconic monument was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi after the 1971 Liberation War Of Bangladesh. This monument stood as the living memory of all the brave Indian soldiers who were martyred in that war. This Amar Jawan Jyoti was shifted to the War Memorial on 21st of January 2022. 

This move of the Central Government aggravated the congress veterans who stepped up and registered protests. Some went ahead to claim that the Jyoti has been extinguished by the dictum, to which those in defence claimed that the Jyoti is not put off, rather it is merged with the National War Memorial. 


Prime Minister Modi, while referring to this said that, there was construction of many new things post independence just for a few families, to rectify this, now monuments of national importance were being built. 


The shifting of the flame of Amar Jawan Jyoti and its merger with the National War Memorial was conducted in a ceremony under the supervision of Chief Of Integrated Defence Staff. A torch with the flame of Amar Jawan Jyoti, with all the military honours was taken and merged with the National War Memorial.


This monument, The National War Memorial was inaugurated in the month of February in the year 2019. This was built near India Gate to pay homage to the martyrs post independence. This monument is located at the C Hexagon near India Gate. The names of 26,000 soldiers are inscribed on it. 

The importance of this monument was depicted when Prime Minister Modi, before the commencement of Republic Day Parade in 2020 paid homage to fallen soldiers at National War Memorial, against the tradition of doing the same at Amar Jawan Jyoti. The National War Memorial has now become the location for all the homage ceremonies. 


This move comes as a surprise to the nation and hence is drawing the attention of the general public.

This image has been taken from,  Digital-Rupee-–-Its-Understanding.jpeg The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will shortly launch restricted pilots of the e-rupee, also known as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) or digital rupee, for specified use cases. It has hinted at two major categories for the usage of e-rupee for various transactions — retail and wholesale.  The CBDC is defined by the RBI as a digital representation of currency notes issued by a central bank. It is a sovereign or completely autonomous currency issued by the country's central bank (in this case, the RBI) in line with monetary policy. CBDC will be recognised as a means of payment and legal tender by all three parties - individuals, government agencies, and businesses - once it is formally issued. Because it is government-backed, it may be readily exchanged for money or notes from any commercial bank. The RBI is not enthusiastic about the e-rupee.

Being Women Gets You Bail.

The image is taken from  teestaaa.jpg In a world where there is a constant cry for the propagation of the idea of equality, it seems that preferential upliftment is actually being sought to be achieved, but such a bias in the criminal justice system conflicts with its very principle of it. The Supreme Court of India recently granted Teesta Setalvad interim release, declaring that "the remedy of interim bail is given to the appellant (Teesta) in the unusual conditions, including the fact that the appellant happens to be a girl." The Chief Justice of India further referred to a bail clause in the Code of Criminal Procedure CrPC that states that "being a woman is a conceivable cause for granting release, even when it cannot be considered otherwise." Section 437 of the Criminal Procedure Code addresses bail in case of non-bailable offences. According to it, a person shall not be released on bail if there is
