International

Beijing: China on Tuesday hoped that India's testing of the nuclear-capable Agni-5 intercontinental ballistic missile complied with UN Security Council rules and safeguarded South Asia's strategic balance even as Beijing maintained that the two nations are "not rivals but partners".

Maids, brick makers, children: the faces of slavery in 2016 driving change

Story

CHENNAI, India (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Housemaids, brick makers, labourers, textile workers, fleeing migrants and children risking their lives in mica mines. These were the faces of modern day slavery in 2016 when the world saw a renewed resolve to combat all forms of human bondage. An estimated 45.8 million people globally live in some form of slavery, either trafficked into forced labour, sold for sex, trapped in debt bondage or born into servitude, according to the 2016 Global Slavery Index by rights group Walk Free Foundation. Most of them are workers looking for a livelihood, better jobs, more income. And most of them are cheated, in debt bondage and trafficked to places far from home, campaigners said. But slowly the scourge of modern slavery is driving action; fr...

It is the right time for Uttar Pradesh’s division into smaller states

Opinion, Uttar Pradesh

Fertile land, productive terrain, natural water resources, large consumer base, political clout, rich culture, and an authoritative presence, in books of history- Uttar Pradesh (UP) has everything, that an administrative unit needs, to write its growth story. And yet, it continues to fall short of its development potential. If it were a separate country, UP would be the fifth most populous in the world. And yet, nowhere have the dividends from our demography been as low, as in UP. This points to a fundamental flaw in the state’s governance architecture. Low economic development, and disappointing social indicators According to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the per-capita Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of UP, is the second lowest, among all states and Uni...

Who is responsible for Independence of India! | Hitler & Bose Vs Gandhi

Opinion

India was under British rule for over 200 years and we were looted to the fullest during that period to fill the coffers of British Empire. India was, in fact, the brightest jewel amongst all British colonies. In the first World War, British defeated Germany and maintained their supremacy in the World. However, second World War was a completely different story. Hitler emerged as a strong leader in Germany and broke the back of Apex powers including Britain and France. The economies of these countries were hit so badly that they could not afford to manage their colonies. The masters were unable to mobilize their military to strangle the upcoming movements in the colonies. The World War 2 started in 1939 and ended in 1945 after US dropped the “Little Boy” atomic bomb on Hiroshima and N...
