Hey Future Generation, We're Sorry

GLOBAL ISSUES WE OVERLOOK
  

From here i will write to  rest of the world
Sorry, we left you with our mess of a planet. 

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own  doings to do something

Sorry, we listened to people who made excuses
We just didn't realize how special the Earth was like a marriage gone wrong We didn't know what we had until it was gone..
Well believe it or not it was once called the Amazon rain forest and there were billions of  trees and animals inhabitant there . . . All of them gorgeous and oh , I'm guessing you know it as the Amazon desert, right?

You don't know much about trees. Do you?

Well, let me tell you trees are amazing. I mean we literally breathe the air They are creating they clean up our pollution or carbon, Medicine that cures our diseases , food that feeds us which is why I'm so sorry
to tell you that we burnt them down, Cut them down with brutal machines horrific at a rate for building up concrete jungle.

What brings me great sorrow is that most of us today don't even care about tomorrow?
I'm sorry that we put profit above people greet above need the rule of gold above the Golden Rule.
I'm sorry we use nature as a credit card with no spending limit over
Sorry, we poison the ocean so much that you can't even swim in them
Drafting animals to extinction stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness or become friends with them.
Hey media ,if you don't think climate change is a threat. I dare you to interview the thousands of homeless people in Bangladesh , But most of all I'm sorry about our mindset because we had the nerve to cause this destruction expand.

Well, I urge you to talk to the kids of beijing who are forced to wear pollution. Masks just to go to school
but need their feet due to rising sea levels and Sarah Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels
So you can ignore this but the thing about truth is it can be denied, not avoided.
Greta thunberg  was a example all over the world to represent the group of people talking about environment and pollution.
People who were very inspired then where are you guys ? Thats not your real concern. Its just you are trying To be seen as intellect. Who is sensible enough to think about environmentalist.
I'm sorry future generations. I'm sorry that our footprint became a sinkhole and not a garden.

I'm sorry, we doomed you!!

This future I do not accept it because an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.
Foundation of this generation it is up to us to take care of this planet. It is our only home
We must look at the root and not to the branches of government and not to the politicians run by corporations, we are the root that we must globally warm our hearts and change the climate of our souls and Realize that we are not apart from Nature.

Today, we live in a world where destroying trees?

We are a part of nature and to betray nature is to betray us the save nature is to save us.

Whatever you're fighting for racism or poverty, feminism ,gay rights or any type of equality it won't matter in the least Because if we don't all work together to save the environment we all will have suffer its consequences.

Making you a part of the solution and not the problem.
One way to directly fight the destruction is to stand for trees by standing for trees ,Not only can you save the lives of trees but also help forest communities and protect the rights of animals to live in their homes.

isnt it???
This is the option that I chose but whatever way that you choose to stand for trees do it because a wise man once said "When the rivers are all dried up and the trees have been cut down ,Man will then realize that he will not be able to eat"

                                 

                                   

So my message to everybody is that please do your part and think about the consequences that can happen in near future, lets join hands and promise to ourselves that we will do our best that we can for this mother nature.

Earth is our home, we have to preserve it , not be part in its destruction.

COVID-19 Treatment: Medicines & Home remedy for treating Coronavirus patient

Covid-19 is a new disease and there is no drug or vaccine for it as of now and the patients are being given medicines that were approved for treating other viral infections. At least five medicines have either been given a go-ahead from the government to treat coronavirus infected patients in India or are in the final stages of the trial being carried out. India has also been using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an antimalarial drug, for treating Covid patients. Coronavirus positive cases in India are increasing at an alarming rate. With the highest single-day spike of 16,922 cases on Thursday, India's Covid-19 count reached 10,29,000. It is the third worst affected country, only behind USA & BrazilThe treatment protocols for coronavirus are being revised from time to time based on emerging evidences. 

Here are the drugs, treatment presently available for coronavirus (Covid-19) and what we so far know about them:

1) Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)

It was first developed in India for the treatment of malaria. Two Indian firms, Ipca Laboratories and Zydus Cadila Ltd, are the world’s largest manufacturers of the drug. The Indian Council of Medical Research has also been using the drug to prevent infection among healthcare workers based on theoretical evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not allow the novel coronavirus, or SARS-COV2, to attach to cells. HCQ was touted as a potential coronavirus treatment by US President Donald Trump and some other global political leaders.

2) Covifor 

The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has given approval to Hetero for manufacturing ‘Remdesivir’ for the treatment of Covid-19. Hetero’s generic version of Remdesivir will be marketed under the brand name ‘Covifor’ in India. It has been granted approval by DCGI for the treatment of suspected or laboratory-confirmed cases of Covid-19 in adults and children, hospitalized with severe symptoms of the disease. Covifor (Remdesivir) will be available in 100 mg vial (injectable) which has to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner.

3) Fabiflu

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has launched antiviral drug Favipiravir, under the brand name FabiFlu, for the treatment of mild to moderate Covid patients. Priced at ₹103 per tablet, the prescription-based drug will be available as a 200 mg tablet at an MRP of ₹3,500 for a strip of 34 tablets.

4) Cipremi

Cipla has launched its own remedesivir under the name of Cipremi. Cipla said it will be commercialising remdesivir through its own facilities and partnered sites. The drug will be supplied through government and open market channels, to ensure equitable distribution. The drug is most effective on those who need oxygen support. Cipla is yet to disclose the pricing for the drug.

5) Methylprednisolone

 Indian doctors have been successfully using Methylprednisolone in handling moderate to severe cases of the disease. It reduces its overall mortality and is a more essential part of the treatment regimen. Also, it reduces the severity of symptoms, doctors claimed. Dexamethasone is supported by a large trial and is a cost-effective drug. It is of the same group as Methylprednisone.

 COVID-19 Herbal remedies:

Using herbs for illness isn’t a novel idea. For thousands of years, herbs like licorice, ginger, and ephedra have been used to treat respiratory infections like the fluTrusted Source and pneumonia.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: AN EFFICIENT MEANS OR A RELIC OF HISTORY?

 

"Criminals do not die by the hands of law.They die by the hands of other men"

                                               -GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

1.     

    INTRODUCTION

Talking about capital punishment, the first question which strikes the mind is why India is still in support of capital punishment. India is among the 55 countries in the world where death penalty is still in practice.Capital punishment has been used in almost every part of the world. But Currently, the large majority of countries have either abolished or discontinued the practice.. To get the answer we need to go little deep and analyze the nature of cases where death penalty has been given by the courts of India. If we take up last five instances, two of cases where dealing with crime like brutally raping and then murder and three were the cases of terror attacks which took lives of many innocents. Few of them didn’t even had any regret on the acts they committed. Like in case of Nirbhaya, the accused after being convicted of gang rape & sentenced to death by court. They boasted for what they did to the victim. For the people like these capital punishment is necessary in India. Also Deterrence has been taken as one of the most common rationale expressed for capital punishment. the most common reason for death penalty to prevail is the assumption of the people's fear of death is more than the fear of being imprisoned, that is the main reason why capital punishment is needed for most heinousness crimes in India.

2.     BACKGROUND

If we look back in the past of India ,practice of capital punishment was quite prominent.. After independence, India retained several laws put in place by the British colonial government, which included the  which included the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898(‘Cr.P.C. 1898’),and the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (‘IPC’).The IPC prescribed six punishments that could be imposed under the law, including death. For offences where the death penalty was an option, Section 367(5) of the CrPC 1898 required courts to record reasons where the court decided not to impose a sentence of death. In 1955, the Parliament repealed Section 367(5), CrPC 1898, significantly altering the position of the death sentence. The death penalty was no longer the norm, and courts did not need special reasons for why they were not imposing the death penalty in cases where it was a prescribed punishment.

The amendment of 1955 made a significant modification (where terms of imprisonment and the death penalty were equal possibilities in a capital case), and a reversal of the position under the 1898 law (where death sentence was the norm and reasons had to be recorded if any other punishment was imposed). Now, judges needed to provide special reasons for why they imposed the death sentence. These amendments also introduced the possibility of a post-conviction hearing on sentence, including the death sentence, in Section 235(2)[4]In India, It’s  awarded for most heinousness and grievous crimes. Article 21[5] of the constitution which guarantees to every citizen the fundamental right to life ,also expressly states, “no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law”. This means that under no circumstances your right to live will be taken away from you except by the due procedure established by law, that is state can take away your life through the given process of law if it deems fit. various offences such as criminal conspiracy, murder, war against the government, abetment of mutiny, dacoity with murder, and anti-terrorism are punishable with death sentences under Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The principles as to what would constitute the “rarest of rare” has been laid down by the top Court in the landmark judgment in Bachan Singh vs State of Punjab[6] (1980). Supreme Court formulated certain broad illustrative guidelines and said it should be given only when the option of awarding the sentence of life imprisonment is “unquestionably foreclosed”. It was left completely upon the court’s discretion to reach this conclusion.

The International framework

         

From the early 1960s, although a majority of countries still used the death penalty, the draftees of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) had already begun moves for its abolition in international law.

Although Article 6 of the ICCPR permits the use of the death penalty in limited circumstances, it also provides that “nothing in this article shall be invoked to delay or to prevent the abolition of capital punishment by any State Party to the present Covenant.”

India also opposed a UN resolution calling for a moratorium on the death penalty because it goes against the Indian statutory legislation as well as against each country’s sovereign right to establish its own legal system.

Legal factors involved

Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees the right to life and personal freedom to all, including the right to live with human dignity. The state may take away or abridge even the right to live in the name of law and public order.  But this procedure must be “due process” as held in India’s Maneka Gandhi v. Union[7]. The procedure that takes away a human being’s sacrosanct life must be just, fair and reasonable. Our constitutional principle can be stated as follows

·       Only in rarest of rare cases, the death penalty should be used.

·   Only on special grounds, the death penalty can be sentenced and should be treated as exceptional punishment.

       The accused may pray for forgiveness, commutation, etc. of sentence under Sections 433 and 434 of the Cr.P.C[8]. and to the President or the Governors under Articles 72 and 161[9]. Articles 72 and 161 contain, apart from the judicial power, discretionary power for the President and governor to interfere with the merits of the matter

·       The essence of the governor’s power should not rest on race, religion, caste or political affiliations, but on a rule of law and rational issues.

   THE PROOF OF THE CLAIM

India awaited seven long for the execution of Nirbhaya’s rapists, the inordinate delay in the execution of the death penalty has taken the sting out of the punishment. This is the reason why Hyderabad police encounter in Disha’s case was hailed by a large populace.

As the judges of Supreme court said in Nirbhaya’s case that the crime is of ‘A Different World’[10]. There are such heinous crimes happening in India which don’t deserve any punishment other than death penalty

In India as per official statistics, 720 executions have taken place in India after it became independent in the year 1947, which is a minuscule fraction of the people who were awarded death penalty by the trial courts. In the majority of the cases, death was commuted to life imprisonment and some were acquitted by the higher courts. This fall in capital punishment was due to one of the apex court’s judgement where it propounded the dictum of ‘rarest of rare cases’ according to which death penalty is not to be awarded except in the ‘rarest of rare cases’ when the alternative option is unquestionably foreclosed.

What constitute Rarest of Rare Cases

·     When the murder is committed in an extremely brutal, ridiculous, diabolical, revolting, or reprehensible manner so as to awaken intense and extreme indignation of the community.

·       When total depravity and cruelty are the motives behind a murder.

Death penalty is challenged at many instances in the constitutional courts of India ,but  the court did not dispense with the capital punishment .This is still legal and constitutional . India is currently not in position to uproot the capital punishment giving its social, economic and education status. If we want this practice to be removed , then first we need to make the society much more civilized so the happening of the crime deserving death penalty be decreased.

Following are the reasons why Death penalty should be not removed in India:

·       Retribution - Guilty people deserve to be punished in proportion to the severity of their crime

·     Deterrence- Capital punishment is often justified with the argument that by executing convicted murderers, we will deter would-be murderers from killing people.

·    Rehabilitation- Of course capital punishment doesn't rehabilitate the prisoner and return them to society. But there are many examples of persons condemned to death taking the opportunity of the time before execution to repent, express remorse, and very often experience profound spiritual rehabilitation

·       Prevention of re-offending- It is undeniable that those who are executed cannot commit further crimes.

 

4.     CONCLUSION

“Capital punishment is our society's recognition of the sanctity of human life.”   

                                                                                                       Orrin Hatch

In India the present position regarding death sentence is quite a balanced one. It is only given in the rarest of the rarest cases were the crime committed is very dreadful to the society. When a criminal commits a capital crime, they should suffer a punishment which equals the crime and it is thought that the worst punishment possible is the death penalty since it does not only remove a criminal's physical freedom by imprisoning them, it removes their psychological freedom by withdrawing their choice to live. Capital Punishment also warns future criminals and dissuades them from performing capital crimes and this increased the safety of the public.

To conclude, I believe that capital punishment is morally right since the society benefits greatly, it is administered in a humane manner and is the only punishment that levels with the most serious offences. What few things that needed to be worked on is the wide judicial discretion given to the court that has resulted into enormously varying judgment, which does not portray a good picture of the justice delivery system. What is needed to be done is that the principle laid down in cases like Bachan Singh or Machhi Singh must be strictly complied with, so that the person convicted for offence of similar nature are awarded punishment of identica
