(Author’s Note: This mini-series of four parts is intended to be the college debaters’ view of the two new Laws introduced by the Government, namely the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act and the Women’s Reservation Act. Parts 1 and 2 will deal with the former, while Parts 3 and 4 will focus on the latter.)
“The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act” – (I)
India takes one more step towards fulfilling its own Indian Dream by passing the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill in August 2009. The passing of this Bill was one of the flagship programmes in the 100-day agenda of the UPA government. The Union Minister for Human Resources Development, Mr Kapil Sibal described this as “harbinger of a new era”. “We as a nation cannot afford our children not going to schools," he further asserted. Definitely, 62 years after Independence, the Bill came in as a welcome change in the legislation of India.

“Lalgarh” derives its name from the red soil found in this area. But there is much more to the name than just the red soil. Surprisingly, its name is also indicative of the area being a CPM strong hold. To top it all, the recent law and order situation has facilitated arson, bloodshed and red rage in Lalgarh. Considering the chain of events in the last few months, a mass uprising of the oppressed tribal population against the state was just next to inevitable.

Who sells the largest number of cameras in India?
Your guess is likely to be Sony, Canon or Nikon. Answer is none of the above. The winner is Nokia whose main line of business in India is not cameras but cell phones.
Reason being cameras bundled with cellphones are outselling stand alone cameras. Now, what prevents the cellphone from replacing the camera outright? Nothing at all. One can only hope the Sonys and Canons are taking note.
