Muslim women students experienced the hijab ban as a denial of their autonomy and agency. As the PUCL team listened to the Muslim girls’ stories close up and large, what became clear was that for them, the hijab is a visible carrier of their self-identity and a way of remaking their own world by freely negotiating with their culture’s normative values and practices. However, they have also had to struggle with their teachers’ negative assumption that they are unaware of being oppressed by their own faith and by a community that does not value education for women. Journalists and political leaders repeatedly asked, “Are they coming to college for studying or for their religion? Let them go to their madrasas if they want to prioritise the hijab.” In insisting simultaneously on their right to education as well as the right to wear the hijab, they are confronting the dominant discourse on the hijab that has obstructed their educational possibilities that have in recent years opened up in Karnataka. In doing so, they are invoking an alternative discourse of gender justice. In this respect, their struggle is at one with the rallying cry ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ (Women, Life, Freedom) of Iranian women who are protesting the custodial killing of Mahsa Amini, a young woman, by the notorious Iranian ‘morality police’ for wearing her hijab ‘too loosely.’ The slogan ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadi’ originates in the Kurdish resistance movement in Turkey and reflects similar struggles of women for complete autonomy and liberation. As Apoorvanand and Alishan Jafri argued, ‘Though the contexts of the protests in Iran and India are different, women in both countries are making the same statement. They are telling the state that they want to live their lives as free, thinking individuals – not as dull identical clones. In both cases, it is a battle between individuals and the state for ownership of the self.’

What Are the Different Types of NGOs in India?

Introduction

Non-Governmental Organizations, commonly known as NGOs, play a crucial role in India’s social, economic, and environmental development. These organizations are driven by a sense of purpose to address various societal issues and uplift marginalized communities. Understanding the diverse landscape of NGOs in India is essential for anyone looking to engage in philanthropy, volunteer work, or establish their own NGO. In this article, we will explore the different types of NGOs in India and shed light on their unique roles and contributions to society.

NGO Registration Services in India

Before delving into the types of NGOs, it’s important to note that NGO registration is a critical step for those interested in starting an NGO in India. Ngopartners, an organization committed to facilitating NGO registration in India, offers comprehensive services to streamline this process.

1. Charitable NGOs

Charitable NGOs are among the most common types in India. They primarily focus on providing humanitarian assistance and relief to those in need. These organizations often engage in activities such as feeding the hungry, providing medical aid, and offering shelter to the homeless. Some well-known charitable NGOs include the Akshaya Patra Foundation, Goonj, and CRY (Child Rights and You).

2. Development NGOs

Development NGOs work towards long-term social and economic development goals. They focus on improving the overall well-being of communities by addressing issues like education, healthcare, livelihood, and women’s empowerment. Examples of development NGOs in India include Pratham, SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association), and Rural Development Foundation.

3. Environmental NGOs

Environmental NGOs are dedicated to conserving and protecting the environment. They work on issues related to wildlife conservation, pollution control, afforestation, and sustainable development. Notable environmental NGOs in India include Greenpeace India, Wildlife Trust of India, and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

4. Human Rights NGOs

Human rights NGOs are committed to advocating for and protecting the fundamental rights of individuals and communities. They address issues related to discrimination, social justice, and civil liberties. Prominent human rights NGOs in India include Amnesty International India, People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), and Lawyers Collective.

5. Healthcare NGOs

Healthcare NGOs focus on improving healthcare access, awareness, and services for underserved populations. They often run clinics, organize health camps, and raise awareness about health-related issues. Well-known healthcare NGOs in India include Aravind Eye Care System, Smile Foundation, and Sankara Eye Foundation.

6. Educational NGOs

Educational NGOs are dedicated to promoting education and literacy. They often establish schools, provide scholarships, and offer vocational training to disadvantaged individuals. Notable educational NGOs in India include Teach For India, Pratham, and Akanksha Foundation.

7. Advocacy and Policy Research NGOs

Advocacy and policy research NGOs work on influencing government policies and advocating for social change. They conduct research, lobby for legislative reforms, and engage in advocacy campaigns.

Conclusion

NGOs in India cover a broad spectrum of social, environmental, and economic issues. Each type of NGO serves a unique purpose and contributes to the betterment of society in its own way.

People’s Union For Civil Liberties(PUCL) V. Union Of India

This article on 'People’s Union For Civil Liberties V. Union Of India: Case Analysis ' was written by Vaishnavi Parate, an intern at Legal Upanishad.

INTRODUCTION

Science and technology are rapidly progressing in today's world. People make extensive use of it to make their lives easier and more efficient. However, while it has numerous benefits and advantages, it also has certain disadvantages. On the one hand, technology is being used to benefit not only humans but also society; on the other hand, some anti-social forces are utilising it to harm others. One of technology's long-preferred flaws is the violation of privacy. Great hackers have begun to emerge as a result of the emergence of dark technologies and fraud. In this article, the author has tried to analyse one such case where the Supreme Court decided whether Section 5(2) of the Telegraph Act violates the fundamental right to privacy granted under the Constitution of India. The main issue in this lawsuit is the privacy of telephone conversations and the right to use the telephone freely without fear of being overheard. This article will discuss whether Phone Tapping is Legal or Illegal In India.

FACTS OF THE PUCL V. UNION OF INDIA CASE

- PUCL, which is a Human rights body, filed a PIL in court challenging the provisions of the Telegraph Act. - This petition was submitted with the view that Sec 5(2) of the Act is inconsistent with the fundamental rights and should be amended accordingly. Arbitrariness should be eliminated, government power should be controlled, and procedures should be established. - The lawsuit was based on the CBI's (Central Bureau of Investigation) Report on "Beginning of Politician's Telephone Wiretapping". - This showed that the phone calls of prominent political leaders were wiretapped by MTNL (Mahanagar Nigam Limited) in an orderly manner, were not tracked, and contained errors that violated the person's basic rights such as privacy and freedom. In India's Puttaswamy judgement, the right to privacy took centre stage. 

ISSUES

- Whether sec. 5(2) of the said Act is arbitrary or requires modification? - Whether sec. 5(2) of the Telegraph Act is violating the right to privacy?

LAWS INVOLVED

- Article 17 of the Indian Constitution - Article 21 of the Indian Constitution - Sec. 5(2) of The Indian Telegraph Act, 1885

JUDGEMENT

The Supreme Court held in the present case that, Under Sec. 5(2) of the Act, the orders regarding wiretapping can be issued only by the government, state, or Minister of Home Affairs. Such direction or orders obliges the person to whom the order is addressed to intercept communications covered by the order while they are being transmitted over the public telecommunications infrastructure. The person to whom the order is addressed may also be required to disclose intercepted material to that person in the manner specified in the order. In determining whether such an order is necessary, it is essential to consider whether the information sought could have been obtained more cheaply by other means. The interception required by Sec. 5(2) of the Act is the interception of communications to or from the address or addresses specified in the order, which may be used to transmit communications to or from the specific person or set of facilities specified or described in the order. Where continuation is deemed appropriate, orders made under Section 5(2) of this Act shall expire at the end of two months from the date of issuance, unless renewed before the end of the two months.

ANALYSIS

Everyone recognizes that the separation of powers is necessary, so this provision was also followed in this case. The court declined to consider the allegation that judicial review should be the only procedural safeguard before issuing an interception order. Legislative power in this regard, in particular, was alleged to lie with the central government, and the court also accused the government of failing to enact appropriate legislation, despite criticism of the provision. Meanwhile, courts have set guidelines to expedite the process, eliminate arbitrariness, and protect the right to privacy.  The Supreme Court decision in the present case ruled that tapping a person's telephone without proper protection or following the procedures prescribed by law constitutes a violation of a person's fundamental right to privacy.  In considering the right to privacy, the Court referred to cross-border instruments and Indian and cross-border judicial bodies to affirm the right to privacy, noting that privacy is violated only through legally established procedures. They further considered that Article 5(2) provides for some special circumstances in which telephone tapping may take place, but only through a fair and reasonable exercise of essential powers. It points out the lack of procedural safeguards for exercise. As a result, the Court did not revoke Section 5(2), but instead, to curb abuse of supervisory powers and protect the right of foreclosure, the courts sought detailed information on the superintendent's exercise of supervisory powers and provided guidelines. He also criticised the government's casual attitude in failing to set applicable security measures despite past criticisms. 

CONCLUSION

Privacy is an integral part of the life of any human being. It is specifically guaranteed by the Indian Constitution which states it as one of the basic human needs in this busy daily life. Whether it's hacking the internet or tapping phones, such practices have always been condemned and the sites involved in such practices, whether Facebook or WhatsApp, have always faced backlash. It has been concluded that eavesdropping on telephone conversations is a violation of the fundamental right to privacy. The growth of technology has given us easy access to both the good and the bad. All information will be immediately retrieved from your phone with a click or OTP. Governments have access to our information for the reasons above, and hackers who break the code can mislead our critical information. Therefore, it is also our responsibility to review the privacy policies of various websites and apps and stay aware of our privacy rights in this digital world.

Darček pre sestru

Vybrať darček pre blízku osobu môže byť veľmi jednoduché. Pokiaľ má človek, pre ktorého darček vyberáte, nejaké záľuby a koníčky, väčšinou býva výber vhodného darčeka maličkosťou. Existujú však typy ľudí, pre ktorých sa výber darčeka môže zdať stále viac zložitý. Aj vy máte medzi svojimi blízkymi osobu, pri ktorej máte pocit, že má všetko, čo potrebuje a neexistuje preňho zdanlivo žiadny vhodný darček? Inšpirujte sa nasledovnými tipmi na nevšedné darčeky, ktoré chytia za srdce a potešia určite každého.  Teplý čaj, káva alebo sladké kakao sú nápoje, ktoré sú bezpochyby súčasťou bežných dní väčšiny z nás. šálku na kávu s potlačou podľa vášho výberu patrí preto medzi najvhodnejšie nevšedné darčeky, z ktorých môžete vyberať. Bez ohľadu na vek obdarovaného. Možnosti potlače sú prakticky neobmedzené. Okrem výberu rôznych typov a veľkostí hrnčekov sa totiž môžete rozhodnúť, či blízkeho viac poteší pitie obľúbeného teplého nápoja z hrnčeka potlačeného fotografiou domáceho miláčika, alebo bude vhodnejší vtipný citát.  Ďalším skvelým tipom na darček, ktorý nikdy nesklame a bude zároveň i akousi pamiatkou, je fotokniha. Jej formát a obsah zvolíte presne tak, aby bol pre obdarovaného potešením a zachytával najdôležitejšie momenty a osoby v jeho živote. Tento typ darčeka je ideálny, napríklad ak vyberáte nevšedné darčeky pre starých rodičov, ktorí toho v živote už naozaj veľa hmotného nepotrebujú. Spomienková fotokniha s fotkami detí a vnúčat bude najkrajším darčekom, akým ich môžete obdarovať.  Hoci v dnešnej dobe mnohí z nás trávia svoj voľný čas v online priestore, stále sa nájdu i takí, ktorí nezanevreli na staré dobré stolové a kartové hry. Dokážu spríjemniť dlhé zimné večery alebo posedenia na chalupe pri ohníku. Ak aj vy máte vo svojom okolí niekoho, kto si rád zahrá partičku sedmy alebo inej obľúbenej kartovej hry, obohaťte mu zážitok z hry darom vo forme jedinečných personalizovaných kariet . Istou formou zábavy, ale aj oddychu od kolobehu bežných dní môže byť aj skladanie puzzle. Táto aktivita je ideálna najmä pre ľudí, ktorí radi dosahujú svoje ciele. Či už skladajú sami, alebo spoločne so svojimi blízkymi, radosť z posledného uloženého dielika je vždy neopísateľná. Aby bolo ich skladanie ešte zaujímavejšie, stavte na nevšedné darčeky a venujte vašim blízkym originálne ´´pucle´´ s ich spoločnou rodinnou fotografiou alebo záberom z ich obľúbeného miesta. Takto poskladané puzzle si potom môžu zalepiť pomocou špeciálneho lepidla a zarámovať ako obraz. Kalendár fotografiami  podľa vlastného výberu patrí medzi jeden z najobľúbenejších personalizovaných darčekov. Veľkou výhodou je, že je potrebné stále ho obnovovať, aby okrem potešenia splnil aj svoj účel. Preto ho mnohí z nás darujú napríklad na Vianoce rok čo rok aj tej istej osobe. V niektorých rodinách je to už akýmsi zvykom a nedokážu si Vianoce bez jedinečného kalendára s aktuálnejšími obľúbenými fotografiami svojich blízkych ani predstaviť. Navyše, máte možnosť vybrať kalendár rôznych typov a rozmerov a preto nebude problém prispôsobiť ho na mieru obdarovanej osobe.  Aj keď budete mať niekedy pocit, že je výber vhodného darčeka pre vašich blízkych čoraz ťažší, nezúfajte. Vyberiete si isto.

Countering the dominant symbol of hijab as oppression are contemporary practices that celebrate Muslim identity and as women. In the mid-1970s, some Muslim women in Egypt began a movement called the ‘Sahwah’ (awakening) that sparked a period of heightened religiosity that began to be reflected in the hijab as a dress code, to both publicly announce their religious beliefs as well as a way to simultaneously reject Western influences of dress and culture. Many Muslim women also viewed the hijab garment as a positive resource, as a way to avoid harassment and unwanted sexual advances in public and to instead allow them to enjoy equal rights of complete legal, economic, and political status. Thus, the hijab is a fluid symbol that functions simultaneously as a symbol of oppression and of pride and respect, the right to freedom of expression and the right to practise one’s religion, albeit devoid of the usual stereotypes surrounding the practice of Islamic faith.
