Will the Abolishment of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes help curb black money in India? (For the topic)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to the nation was a surprise, but the prevalence of counterfeit currency notes in India is not. Neither is thousands of crores stashed as black money. This move is very bold and decisive, which will tremendously impact the circulation of counterfeit notes in our economy. More importantly, the money stashed in the black economy will become redundant, thereby sealing the cavity through which billions of dollars were being siphoned off.

Although arguments persist that persons hoarding black money do not necessarily do so in the form of liquid cash, it has to be acknowledged that even in a corrupt system like ours, it is not very simple to convert ‘black’ money to ‘white’. This process becomes more difficult when the hoards of liquid cash suddenly become redundant, making it illegal tender.

The move announced by the Prime Minister targets another group of criminals- counterfeiters. The prevalence of counterfeit or ‘fake’ notes in our economy is mind boggling. Foreign interests that are inherently against Indian economic growth and development seek to use this mechanism to cause havoc in the Indian economy. Estimates suggest that for every 10 lakh notes, 250 are counterfeit. David Headely, the criminal behind the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai used counterfeit notes to procure weapons and carry out attacks on India. With the introduction of new series of notes, that too abruptly, will have a great positive impact on the counterfeit market. The fake notes already in circulation are, again, redundant.

Many arguments also point out to the stash of black money overseas, especially in Swiss Banks. After the steps announced by Mr. Modi, the conversion of Indian money into a foreign currency, so as to make it legal will also become complicated, if not impossible. Round-tripping of black money is another issue. Round-tripping refers to the process by which black money stashed abroad is disguised as foreign capital and sent back to India. This process will become difficult as the conversion of Indian currency overseas, mostly stashed as 500/ 1000 rupees notes will no longer be valid.

Finally, to make this move more effective, the parliament must pass legislations that will impose harsher penalties on persons hoarding black money. The concessions given to defaulters must be stopped immediately and the black money hoarded by them should be fully seized.

Following the above arguments, it can be concluded that this move will help curb black money in India and prevent counterfeiting.

GENDER EQUALITY

Names: Munna Joshy 

Class: 1 BBA ‘A’

VIEW: Gender is the natural orientation that nature has provided mankind with it enables the continued existence of mankind and the preservation of our society in a civilized manner. Our very evolution has been dependent on it for centuries. If the women didn’t stay in the caves and if the men didn’t go out and gather food, the homosapiens would have disappeared and the world would be dominated by another species.

The argument that such roles don’t exist are to a certain extent futile and can be looked at as a phase of the modern era brought about largely due to the two world wars, when the world was at war and the women were called upon (especially in the USA) to become the workforce of the world. As the United States turned into the dominant power on earth, the rest of the world turned into mere US imitators of the trend spread all around the world. What can be understood from the above is that the erosion in the norms of differentiation among the genders is a relatively young phenomenon that is at the most a couple hundred years old. The world did exist till then without any major issues.

One of the most developed countries in the world Japan now suffers due to the fact that they eliminated gender roles from their society in the pursuit of economic benefits. The emotional factors that enrich life and society are all but completely alien to the people of that country and what is the result; a population that has a high standard of living but no life in it.

Thousands of years of history cannot be erased just because it is convenient to do so. The one fact that people all over the world forget when they talk about gender equality and how gender roles is a part of it is the casualties that occur along the way. When women decide to leave their homes and pursue their careers the children of today are being denied a complete childhood, deprived of the love and attention that is due to them.

COUNTERVIEW: Just how different are man and woman? Everyone acknowledges that there are significant differences between male and female, even if they are only physical. Others see not only the physical but also the social, emotional, and intellectual differences between them. In early American culture it was common for a woman’s job to be a submissive homemaker in clear contrast to the men’s breadwinner role. The seventies marked the beginning of the Woman’s Movement and the end of the ideals we held on what it is to be a “man” and what it is to be a “woman”. Women are no longer like the stereotypical homemaker, always offering a hot meal for her family. No one disputes that the Woman’s Movement began but there is a disagreement on whether or not it should come to an end. 

 One of the Woman’s Movements primary goal was to invalidate gender roles in the sense that woman were secondary to men. The fact that gender roles exist is indisputable. Gender roles influence woman and men in virtually every area of the life including family and occupation. Early into childhood girls and boys are treated differently in their in families, schools and other institutions. Boys are played in a tough manner and told to “tough it out” when they get hurt. Girls are thought to be more passive and expressive in their feelings. Whether these gender roles are fair or not this is where the argument begins. Does the fact that we are treated differently because based on our sex prevent us from reaching equality are we treated differently because we are different in nature? The outdated, sexist gender roles that dehumanize woman are extinct; the ones that presently exist are the ones that are true.    

Gender equality must be embraced if we are to evolve culture and ourselves. It is not just a nice idea about a few women who can open their own doors. It is about Cultural Revolution. Imagine the possibilities in that- and how many people will begin to show up once this someday, some way, becomes the norm?

Must juveniles be tried and treated as adults in cases of heinous crimes?

Introduction

The subject of whether juveniles should be treated as adults in certain cases remains one of great debate. This is due to the fact that there are several arguments both for and against. We will attempt to shed light on them.

Views for the topic:

When juvenile convicts are let off with slaps on the wrists, it shows them that they are above the legal system. It allows them to think they will be let off easy when they commit future crimes. Juveniles must be treated as equal to adults when they commit heinous crimes because not only will it deter future crimes but it will also keep away potential dangers to the society.

When a criminal is sent away, it is not just to punish the criminal but also to protect society from dangers he/she might cause.

While juvenile’s brains aren’t as well developed as adults, they are taught from a young age about what is right and what is wrong. If they can commit crimes before they’ve even become adults, it is highly probable that the crimes will just increase in number and intensity. 
They might not be as mature but how much legal significance does a lack of maturity by just a year or two play when it comes to most cases? 
Proving hindrance to rationality might be easy but it must be proven to such an extent that it makes it non culpable for their actions.

Views Against:

When a juvenile is treated as an adult, it is done for a wide number of reasons. To send a message and prevent crimes of such nature and giving closure to the affected parties seems to be the most widely used reason. However, they are mainly used to douse public outrage.

Harsh laws and legislation may help as a crude tool to satiate public outrage by political parties and figures but they neither negate nor diminish the problem at hand. All they do is douse the seething public anger and help improve their public image. 

Every child who is in conflict with the law and those in need of help and security should be entitled to the required counseling, care, rehabilitation, and education. It is the State's duty to provide these children the aforementioned necessities.

Effect of Brexit on English football

View

With the continued poor displays of England over the recent years, be it in the World Cup or the Euros, the Brexit can only stand as a symbol for development of English football.

The English team at its peak, consisted of players like David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Tony Adams, John Terry; a few among the many legends The very mention of such names would strike terror in the hearts of their international opponents. However, the English football team today is a mere shadow of its predecessor and has constantly struggled to reach higher stages at the international competitions. 

The sole reason for this is the lack of focus that has been given by English clubs to develop English talent. The easy availability of players from abroad is the main reason for this lack of concern. By just throwing in a few more Euros, the clubs in England can acquire talent overnight, rather than taking the longer route of developing English talent at the academy level. The richest of the clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea have a constant habit of spending big on Non- English players and only a small chunk of their team compromises of British talent. The majority of the players of the England national team come from mid table teams like Liverpool, Stoke City, Tottenham, etc. It isn't a huge surprise then as to why the English teams perform poorly at the international level. When the players of a particular country do not play for the top clubs of their country, then they cannot in their wildest imagination hope to be on top with their nation.

With the exit of Britain from the EU however, players from abroad would become more expensive and the availability of work permits for them would become harder. The natural remedy for the English clubs then would be to turn to the homegrown English talent, and as a result give more opportunities for the players from England to improve their game. Constant playing at the first team level would logically improve their game and thus improve the quality of players that enter the English national team. 

Also work permits would be handed out only to the best of the foreign players that would want to play in England, thereby improving the overall quality of talent that plays in England.

Write up by Rajat Prabhu.

Counter View 

The exit of Britain from the European Union can only harm the prospect of developing an ecosystem of world class footballers. The Premier league which is the highest tier of English football is arguably the best league to play in. With global viewers exceeding 3 Billion as of 2016, the premier league generated an annual revenue of 4 billion euros in this financial year. This provides English clubs the leverage to attract the best talent by providing the prospect of top salaries. 

The exit of Britain from the EU however will severely impact the advertising industry that the Premier league draws most of its revenue from. Companies would now advertise themselves using the Spanish or the German leagues as platforms and provide clubs from there with the prior mentioned financial advantage. Thus, players are more likely to go and play in such leagues where they would get better salaries and better recognition.

While Britain was a part of the EU, the availability of a work permit to the players was a mere formality. The exit of Britain however would certainly complicate the approval. Players would most indefinitely move to countries where work permits are available without any complication.

These effects of the Brexit only come across as unnecessary hindrances to the wonderful game. The economy of Britain too would lose out on a lot of revenue that they earn from the Premier league once they have exited the EU.

On November the 8^th late evening Prime Minister Narenhdra Modi rocked the Nation by discontinuing the use of 500 and 1000 Rupee notes with effect from midnight. This demonetization was done to counter black money, fake currency, corruption and cross border terrorism.

This surgical strike created ripples in the stock market, panic among common citizens and it stunned political circles. Social media went berserk with all types of interpretations of this announcement. While it was highly appreciated by certain people, many felt the brunt of the situation as they were left with little or no notes of lower denominations.

Experts predict that one of the major repercussions of this move would be heavy deflation, as there would be reduction of total currency circulation in the economy as people who have earned money through illegal means would be afraid to declare the money.

While the rich folks with black money may find a way to work around the situation, it is the common man who is really suffering. This move deeply impacts the working sections of society: drivers, maids, cooks, electricians, plumbers. They are not well versed with card transactions and some do not even possess a bank account.

The E-commerce industry is preparing for a period of low demand and sales as most of their payments are received on a Cash - On - Delivery basis. The tourism industry, especially those in the outbound travel space, predict a dip in business. Tour operators have already had to cancel a number of arranged trips on request of their clients. Political campaigns in the near future may also take a hit as most of them rely on unaccounted money.

Real Estate is one sector that is likely to be the most affected. It contributes about 11 percent of the gross domestic product. Investment in property is a common means of parking unaccounted money and a large number of transactions in real estate are either not reported or are under-reported. But with Modi's sudden move, this sector is now under immense pressure and a downtrend in business activity is inevitable.

The problem lies in the fact that the plan seems badly thought out and unorganized to some extent. It provides little clarity on what prevents the new notes from being used as “black money” in the future.

Editor’s opinion:

At the outset it is a proud moment when a news in your country is trending more online and on media than US President Elections. A bold move by The Indian Government that would definitely reduce corruption. However it is unplanned and unorganized. Such a short notice is too quick to comprehend and will lead to a lot of confusions in the market and huge problems for the common man.

 Rural Poor and uneducated are unaware of this change and will face dilemma when no one accepts high denomination notes.
 For those still without debit or credit cards, imagine the trouble and difficulty when one has to carry many 100 rupee notes for eating at a fine dining restaurant or monthly shopping of household groceries and other essentials that amount to thousands.
 People may lose confidence in the Monetary System and value of Rupee. Stock markets will be adversely affected and personal and infrastructure projects halted.
 Ridiculous to keep banks and ATMs closed on 9th Nov and make legal tender invalid overnight on 8th. The middle class who has only 500's and 1000's will suffer as they cannot pay for transport etc.
 Black money cannot be fully eliminated. Most of it is in the form of land and other Investments, expensive luxury goods, gold or cars. Those people in the ruling party who got to know about this much earlier or received an advance intimation may have made other arrangements.
 Some questions that are still unanswered why does the Government that has been in power for some time now wake up suddenly and take a decision that would have such a huge impact so fast without much debate and discussion? What about Indian Citizens abroad who still possess home currency? With the long queues outside banks and an upper limit, will the exchange of billions be smooth and efficient as expected?

INTERVIEW OF SIDDHI MAHAJANKATTI

               

Aanandam

Releasing on 21st October 2016 

Interviewer: Mohamed Owais
Reporter : Anoushka Fernandes
How was your experience? Did you face any challenges?
My experience in this film and the shooting was just amazing. Of course it was a very tiring experience as well as it was a back to back shoot. We had to travel to Hampi, Goa and Nepal. I also had to manage my college activities and that was difficult. Those were the two challenges I had to face; Managing College and managing film. However I got to see new places and even see the location where Dil Chatha Hai was shot and it was just amazing!
Tell us about the movie.
“The movie is about a four day college trip. It revolves around friendship, love, amiability, travelling. It is something related to the industrial visits that colleges have. It’s a fun filled film. I would rather say it’s a romantic comedy.”
How long did you work for this film I mean how many months was the shooting? Can you recall one fun memory?
“The total shooting period time was fifty two days. One funny experience I can recall would be the time when we had to shoot the sunrise shot. We had shot till 12 ‘o’ clock and had to get up at 2 ‘o’ clock and start getting ready because the place was an hour away and we had to be there 4:30. To wake me up was the most difficult task the production controller got and I wouldn’t wake. They decided to pour water on me to wake me up! That was one memory I will never forget!”
How did you manage along with studies and college?
“Managing studies was a bit difficult for me. I kept calling my best friends; Adlin, Amulya and Kevin. I used to keep clearing my doubts. It was a bit difficult for me because I missed the first month and that month was the basis. I had a few basics because I took commerce in 11th and 12th. However I found organizational behavior tough because it was an entirely new subject for me. Also I had to make friends when people had already made friends. But they didn’t treat me like an outsider once I came back. They treated me like a Josephite and that was the best part of my life. I thought they wouldn’t accept me for who I am. Thank you so much Josephs for that. The teachers too were extremely friendly. Even Rathi Ma’am told me how amazing it is that I'm balancing college and filming and others may not been able to do so.”
How did you go about promoting the film?
“We’ve been invited as chief guests for so many college promotions and we are going. We also have live TV interviews. I keep going to the theaters to watch the film with my family, friends and crew members. It’s a part of the promotion process. I’ve also had several newspapers and radios interviews. That’s how promotion works.”
How different are you in real life compared to the character you portrayed in the film ?
“There’s no difference. The main reason why my director casted me for this role is because I am exactly the same as the character is in this movie. My character name is Diya Ambhat. She’s a very joyful girl. She’s the loudest girl and the center of attraction in the college. She has seven best friends. She is the prettiest and most beautiful girl as what my director says. She’s the one who gets amiable very fast. She is friendly with every single person and I'm the same. I like meeting people and traveling and so does she. So I can relate to the character very well.”
How important is this for your future career ?
“It’s not that important. I’ve always kept film and acting as Plan B. Plan A is completing BBA and starting my own company. I have not figured out what kind of company I want to start but I know I don’t want to work for anyone. It’s a small part of my life and l like it.”

Should people who download music/movies illegally be punished?

Introduction:

Nowadays when a movie or song is made and marketed, everyone involved in the process gets his/her monetary gain. Therefore if any of the content which is protected by the copyright law cannot be copied, reproduced or sold without the permission of the owner of that product. The Indian copyright law protects literary works, dramatic pieces, melodious works, artistic works, films and music recordings. But these days’ people don’t seem to follow this law at all. The internet being a boon to all of us, we misuse it and disrespect the artists whose works we download illegally.


View: Artists, Directors, Producers and every other person connected to the making their masterpieces put in a lifetime of hard work and dedication, It be A music recording, A documentary, A movie and others. Downloading all of these content is equivalent to stealing someone else’s property. Something that is made by using a lot of resources. Piracy directly contributes to the destruction of the business. It damages the entertainment companies and industries. This in turn leads to unemployment and causes a lot of harm to the economy. People who illegally download these products should be punished. The government should take it seriously and do its best to track down the people following this absurd trend and make the copyright law more effective. If a person can go to jail due to robbery, why shouldn’t a person who illegally downloads music and movies be punished?



Counterview:  Its common sense: taking a thing that you used to pay for is not virtuous for the people who created that thing. But when it comes to entertainment piracy, lots of folks—whether motivated by statistical inquisitiveness, forward-thinking vision or a desire to rationalize their own law-breaking—have argued that things aren’t quite so simple. Now, with the release of a new analysis of 16,000 European music consumers, those on the side of piracy, like myself have evidence to back us up. Specifically, the study found that legal purchases would be about 2 percent lower without illegal downloading available—meaning, yes, illegal downloads boost legal downloads. The positive effect of streaming was even larger. And of course, as the study’s authors do acknowledge, sales data are not the only reason music-industry professionals don’t like piracy. Conclusion: people who download pirated music/ movies mostly do so for tunes they wouldn’t have ever spent money on. Therefore, it should be my choice to pay for what I want and not for what I don’t want. I shouldn’t be legally bound to do so!

iPhone - A fashion statement



Introduction:

It’s that time of year again when a new iPhone has just been released. Lines will stretch out in front of cell phone stores. The  latest iPhone unveiled  by Apple on September 7th sees the addition of a host of features ,a better processor, camera, battery life and display. What has  shocked everyone, however is the  removal of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

View :

It is a known fact that you can get a phone with better specifications for less than what the iPhone costs. Despite being massively overpriced, people are truly, madly and deeply in love with it.
Apple’s iPhone is a fashion statement, with its overpriced accessories, ranging from vibrant cases to headphones to phone docks (before the iPhone 7). You can literally buy another smartphone with the amount of money you will spend on purchasing accessories for your iPhone.
But do you really need an iPhone? Can’t you do without one and buy a better phone with better specifications and save your money? Well the answer to this is both yes and no. Depending on how fashion conscious you are, you will probably choose an iPhone over all other phones. The thrill of taking out your iPhone in front of everyone and are adorned with the tag of ‘cool and
hip’ when your friends see an iPhone in your hand.

Counter View:

The iPhone has come a long way since its first launch. The technology that has gone into making the later versions of the iPhone has changed drastically. As pointed by my counterpart, I agree that the iPhone is slightly overpriced. The iPhone is not a fashion statement alone, for it employs some of the world's most exclusive technologies . In addition, it offers  an easy to use operating system -the iOS and also has the best camera in comparison to any other smartphone.
Not everybody buys a product ONLY for the prestige it holds in society but because of the various extraordinary characteristics it possesses. If you want the product then you should be ready to pay the price that it demands.
