India has refrained from voting at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The resolution demanded that Russia remove its soldiers unconditionally. The General Assembly meeting was called after a similar resolution failed to pass the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) due to Russia's veto.

The resolution, which was co-sponsored by 96 nations, required to be supported by two-thirds of those present and voting in order to pass. It opposes Russia's'special military operation' over Ukraine on February 24, 2022. It declares that no lands gained by force will be recognised and demands that Russia withdraw from Ukraine "now, entirely, and unconditionally."

T. S. Tirumurti, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stated that the "safe and uninterrupted transit" of Indian people, particularly students, was India's "top concern." India has also demanded a "immediate ceasefire" and humanitarian access to combat zones. India anticipated that the second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will be fruitful. Russia's activities have put India in an awkward position as it strives to balance its interests with both Russia and Western countries. Given its own experiences with China and Pakistan, India is likewise concerned about the consequences of not criticising one country unilaterally seeking to modify the boundaries it shares with another. India strongly urges all Member Governments to demonstrate their commitment to the values of the UN Charter, international law, and respect for all states' sovereignty and territorial integrity. A number of nations in India's neighbourhood endorsed the resolution, including Bhutan, Nepal, and the Maldives. Afghanistan, which is now governed by a terrorist organisation (the Taliban), and Myanmar, which is currently administered by a military junta, both voted in favour of it. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, along with India, voted no. China also voted no.

Resolutions and decisions are official representations of UN organisations' opinions or will. The nature of the resolution affects whether or not it is binding on states. Resolutions of the General Assembly are referred to as "recommendations" under Articles 10 and 14 of the UN Charter. The International Court of Justice has consistently emphasised the recommendatory nature of General Assembly decisions. Some General Assembly resolutions, however, dealing with internal UN concerns, such as financial choices or orders to lower-ranking organisations, are obviously binding. In general, resolutions issued by the Security Council in conformity with Chapter VII of the Charter are considered binding, as stated in Article 25 of the Charter. They are, however, subject to the veto power of the UN Security Council's permanent members.

The Digital India Will Soon Get The Digital Rupee

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.

Parakram Divas: Paying homage to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 125th Birth Anniversary. ~Preet The man of utter strength and unmatched will power who was courageous enough to decide to take on one of the strongest military power on the globe in the contemporary, head on. The man who was not afraid of death and rather moved ahead to write his own fate with his charm, merit and guts. This man is none other than Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and no wonder we celebrate the birth anniversary of this strong and influential leader as 'Parakram Divas', the day to honour and learn bravery, endurance, firmness and fearlessness.  To pay homage to him and recognise his contribution, the government recently decided to install a grand statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at India Gate.

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
