QUARANTINE CENTRE COMPETITION!

I sincerely appreciate the work carried out by the CSOs and Churches to run the quarantine centre on their own although I'm skeptical that the government will fraudulently draw bills for the works done by the former as is the practice. Nevertheless, the community participation needs to be applauded👏.
However, one thing which surprises me is that we seem to be in competition to outdo one another which is nothing but sheer vanity. We're being too extravagant. The running of quarantine centres is not akin to the 3-4 days general conference which we hosts in a village. We should keep in mind that there are more stranded people outside than the ones who have arrived.
Accommodation may differ from centre to centre. However, with regard to the food, the govt may bring in nutritionists and make a uniform food chart for all the quarantine centres. Of late, we're being witness to the ostentation of food and the services provided by the different quarantine centres in the form of videos and creatives. While some may consider it as healthy, it becomes depressing for those who are not given the same treatment.
This is a long drawn battle. It's good we prepare accordingly.

The Impending Catastrophe

“ W e have a heart but we also have a brain” - Zoran Milanovic, Croatian Prime Minister. The ongoing Migrant crisis in the European Union has triggered a worldwide attention and has also drawn flak from among the member states over the policies adopted by the Union with policy makers trying to make a constant change to contain the influx of migrants with time. The discovery of the dead body of a 5-year-old Syrian boy washed ashore sent a shock wave to everyone including the international community. This was the talk of the virtual world for quite some time pouring in sympathies from all over the world. The influx of migrants flocking to the European Union seems to be never ending and till date, tens of thousands of migrants are flocking to the European Union with little or no hope at all for survival. While taking a look at the migrant crisis from the humanitarian perspective, the migrants have literally no option but to flock elsewhere for survival. The entire M...

On Recent Political Developments in Nagaland

T he NDPP has no relevance in Nagaland politics except that it is in power presently. It was born out of political necessity to reinstall the then Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland Mr. Rio back in to the state politics. If one can remember correctly Mr. Rio left the state in 2014 shortly a year after winning his consecutive third term as CM of Nagaland to make his debut in the national politics. Unlike the 2019 Lok Sabha election in Nagaland which was a very tight contest between the ruling government and the opposition Congress, Mr. Rio back then won with a comfortable margin of over 4 lakh votes. He was sent off with much grandiosity. Much hype was generated and the talk was in the air that Mr. Rio would be given Cabinet berth in the Modi 1.0 government. Rio could boast of his credentials as the lone seasoned politician from NER and also the Convenor of NERPF(Northeast Regional Political Forum). His speech in the Central Hall of Parliament on May 20, 2014 added a bonus point to it. Acc...

DIVIDER IN CHIEF AT IT AGAIN!

T he cover page of the Time’s magazine with the portrait of Modi donned in a black Nehru coat with a saffron scarf was published on May 9, 2019. The article carried a compelling title which read as ‘INDIA’S DIVIDER IN CHIEF’. Shortly after it was published, it evoked widespread criticisms from the ruling party especially on Twitter with bots and fake handles of the ruling party making a scathing attack on the author as well as the magazine. But it managed to strike a chord with the many who have had enough with the supreme leader who absolutely had no remorse for the 2002 Godhra carnage and the incidents thereafter. The BJP, a far right extremist party rose to power in 2014 riding on the waves of Modi and again in 2019 banking on pseudo-nationalism after the Balakot airstrike was conducted discreetly. Mr. Modi, the man solely responsible for the pogrom while he was still the Chief Minister of Gujarat was denied visa by the United States barring him from entering the country in 2005 ...
