Rights of Sex Workers in India: An Analytical Study
Get PDFHuman rights have always been a controversial issue in India when it comes to the rights of the sex workers. In India, the law relating to sex work is ambiguous, i.e. India neither criminalizes nor condemns it. Human rights advocates wellbeing with equal treatment of all persons. However the Indian government has failed to uphold the rights of women especially those of sex workers be it the civil or socio-economic rights, despite being a signatory to many legislations. The sex workers are stigmatized and are looked down upon by the society. They are often subjected to discrimination, abuse, rape and harassment which results in denial of their rights. The health, safety and equality of the sex workers under the law are some of the major concerns which should be looked into as a matter of their right. And further steps should be taken to decriminalize prostitution for the betterment and protection of the sex workers

Human Rights, Their Violation And Humanitarian Intervention
Get PDFHuman rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever their nationality. These rights are expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties and customary international law and by national legal frameworks. The internationalization of human rights has been increasingly recognized. International law traditionally considered relation between a state and its citizens to be a domestic affair, falling under the principle of state sovereignty. Individuals were objects of state action, but not international subjects. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. UDHR is widely recognized by almost every country of the world. With this wide recognition, conflict emerged between the rights of states i. e. soveregnity and rights of the people i.e. human rights. In the post-Cold War era, the recognition of the linkage between violations of human rights and international peace and security has opened the room for humanitarian intervention in international relations. Humanitarian intervention may be defined as: Forcible action by states to prevent or to end gross violations of human rights on behalf of people other than their own nationals, through the use of armed force without the consent of the target government and with or without UN authorization. In the present paper attempt has been made to examine the concept of human right, their violation and humanitarian intervention to stop their violation
Yeats’s Sailing To Byzantium – An Old Man’s Liberation From The Sensual World
Get PDFWilliam Butler Yeats has been called the principal representative of the symbolist movement in English literature. Byzantium is one of the most impressive symbols in his poetry. In this poem Byzantium Yeats laughs at the absurdity of the scarecrow body of the old man and yet retains his dignity and seriousness. The laughter is drowned in the noble music announcing the voyage to the holy city of Byzantium. Sailing to Byzantium is pertaining to the problem of an old age. Byzantium is a symbol for unity and perfection. Yeats sailing to Byzantium is pre-eminently a personal poem which deals with the problem of old age which often haunted him. An old man feels miserable in this world of reality, being unfit for the sensual life. Yeats therefore finds comfort by escaping to the city of Byzantium which represents a world of art, a world which is eternal and timeless. The poet in Sailing to Byzantium describes an uncongenial Country in the beginning as we look at that country through his eyes. “That is no country for old men.” The contemplation of monuments of unageing intellect alone can justify in old man‟s existence and which cannot be produced in modern world. Sailing to Byzantium has strongly influenced the minds and hearts of the readers. It has sharpened their sense of the seriousness and reality of the motivations of creative minds. It is a poem which redirects our attention to the basic choices of our lives, and to the way in which these choices affect our perspectives. The present study focuses on Yeats‟s poem Sailing to Byzantium as an antidote for an old man‟s liberation from the sensual world. It also highlights the chaotic modern times, symbols used in the poem, symbolic significance to Byzantium and Yeats‟s glorification of art
Independent Directors- A Misnomer
Get PDFThe announcement of the Clause 49 in SEBI Listing Agreement brought about the introduction and growth of the independent directors, which provided for the need for having an independent directors on the boards of the company and defined the term ‘independence’ as well as laid down their duties and responsibilities. Also the Companies Act 1956 was amended and there was introduction of Companies Act 2013 which brought along with it provisions relating to the Independent directors and provided for a wider perspective in terms of their independence.
The appointment of the independent directors on the board provides support as well as contributes in better corporate governance performance. They also play the role of balancing the interests of the various stakeholders and protect the interest of the company which helps in its growth. However in the recent time, the occurrence of scams and other such incidence have increased taking for example scams like Enron, World com, Satyam or for that matter the controversy between the Tata sons and Cyrus Mistry , or the Infosys board issue and other global scandals. These scams have questioned the ‘Independence’ of the independent directors and the role they play in ensuring good corporate governance. Concerns regarding their appointment, selection procedure, removal have cropped up taking into account the increasing number of resignations by them. .
Large number of companies are promoter driven and are being controlled by one person, on a close observation it is evident that he is the person who is responsible for the management and also the appointment and removal of the independent directors, and they instead of playing the role of the watchdog of the board they prefer to be ‘friends’ of the promoters.
All these issues have questioned the corporate culture, ethics, norms of business organisations, and if we look closely we will find that the core problem of the business world today is seen to be the failure of the corporate governance, which means that the Boards are failing to execute their responsibilities and duties properly, And that the term ‘independent’ seems to be a myth and a misnomer as these incidences clearly shows that there is no such thing as independence and that they are just dolls in the hands of the promoters. Thus there is an urgent need to relook at the role of the independent directors and analyse the emerging challenges and issues faced by the
Sociology of Women\u27s Liberation
Get PDFIs freedom a Gender-Specific Concept? If not, then why the meaning of freedom is different for women and men? Freedom is a positive concept in itself, which means freedom of choice, freedom of dignity, freedom of speech, freedom to share ideas, freedom of education and financially self-reliant etc. All these rights are secure with men but even in the 72nd year of independence women are deprived of these rights, why? This argument can possibly be understood from Simone de Beauvoir’s statement. In her book ‘The Second Sex’ (1949), she presented the idea of “Woman as Other” and also focused on how control of women’s sexuality and reproduction has historically subjugated them to men. She was one of the first theorists to argue that gender was not an essential characteristic of people, but rather something that one becomes through socialization. She wrote “One is not born, but becomes a woman.” and if this is the case, when the women has created by a society (especially a patriarchal society), then how can it be independent, it has to remain under the control of its Creator (society). The woman is born in chains and she always in chains. And whenever it comes to women\u27s freedom, then it is taken from a bizarre sense. In her book “The Feminine Mystique”, Betty Friedan explained this fact that in almost every professional field, in business and in the arts and sciences, women are still treated as second-class citizens. It would be a great service to tell girls who plan to work in society to expect this subtle, uncomfortable discrimination--tell them not to be quiet, and hope it will go away, but fight it. A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex, but neither should she "adjust" to prejudice and discrimination. The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own.
