This blog is inscribed by Nancy Singh.

Introduction

The era of 2020 has a vast involvement of youth in the environment which gives a rise towards development of the society. People learn, communicate and grow which keeps our civilization excelling in the country. There are different genders involved with their identity and politics within the premises of law in the activities for welfare and happiness. To give equal respect and honour to the individuals is our duty and the responsibility to lead our country in the best suited direction. Gender, identity, politics and law are the basic features of our culture which helps it to grow and bloom in the world. It involves characterization and classification of pupils on the basis of approach made by them towards improvement and success of humanity. The appropriate involvement of youth in the right path will lead the country to success and interests.

Gender and Identity

Gender is basically classified as male and female but the society’s evolution resulted into identification to LGBTQ community i.e. lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender also. Recognizing LGBTQ community reflects their purpose of celebrating delight, assortment, individualism and sexuality. LGBTQ have been given all the fundamental rights as provided to others in the society. Gender equality is directly linked to sustainable development which involves development of women and girls of the society. Uplifting the status of women and girls of our culture gives a rise to our development and wellness. The rights, opportunities and achievements of both men and women should be calculated on the same platform and be given equal significance for being a part of civilization. Have we ever given a thought as to why there is so much inequality between a girl and boy since they are born? The answer which comes up is a straight NO. We should think about why people do so. A mother who is herself a woman sees her daughter as a burden on the family. Why do women do so? Aren’t they the daughter of someone? Inequality arises from one’s home only and without doing anything people are being judged because of their gender. There are not only women but the community of LGBTQ who are being judged for what they are but by making the section 377 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 unlawful our judiciary has proved that everyone is equal before law.

Article 14[1] explains the concept of right to equality in all aspects of the country. Article 15[2] demands prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. A person should not be judged on these criteria. Article 16[3] examines the equality of opportunity in matters of public employment. Article 39(a)[4] demands equal justice and free legal aid for the citizens. Article 39(d)[5] says that there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women. Article 42[6] explains the provision for just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief. Article 44[7] demands Uniform civil code for the citizens. Article 51A (e)[8] says to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood among the people.

Politics

India being the second most inhabited nation on the globe has a large density of people having citizenship of India. Keeping the population rate and betterment of the nation, Indian government has amended the Citizenship act. The provision of Citizenship Amendment Act states that the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jains, Parsi and Christian who came to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh before December 31 in the year 2014 because they had suffered religious persecution or fear of religious persecution in their country of foundation, will be granted citizenship. This created a commotion in India and had made a sudden discomfort in the people for their identity in the nation. People have protested against it by claiming it as the discrimination on the basis of religion. The citizens have been given full right to vote for election of the leader. Law states that every individual of age 18 and above has the full right to cast their vote for the leader they want. Election Commission of India issues a voter ID card to the populace who are of age 18 and above, which is proof of a person that he is eligible to vote. A basic question arises in every individual’s mind that what does the word ‘politics’ mean? And no doubt a common answer always comes up with ample names of political parties that are in actuality claiming their political analysis and strategies to be best. Politics is basically a bunch or package of actions linked with the wellbeing and welfare of every sector, individual and community.

Article 326 of Constitution of India states the concept of adult suffrage which states the concept of granting the right to vote to the citizen of India who is not below the age of 18 without any discrimination unless the person is of unsound mind or is convicted for any criminal offence.

Public opinion plays an important role in the field of politics. Politics is basically influenced by economic issues arising all around the country such as poverty, unemployment, development and welfare of the civilization. 

Law

Law is a regulation of behavior of the natives living in a country. Law is being set up by the government of the country in an array to deal with crime, business, civil matters, social issues and many more. Law plays a very decisive function in every phase of the environment. Law governs every individual on the basis of their work and act. The Constitution of India is the highest book of regulation in India; all other laws are being governed by it. It includes Preamble, fundamental rights, directive principles of state policy, fundamental duties, duties and role of union, executive and judiciary, courts etc. These are various principles that govern the individuals of the nation. The Supreme Court of India is the apex Court which has its rule binding on all. The High Courts are set up at the state level which govern the state’s rules and norms. The District Courts are set for the issues at lower level. The courts perform their role in the growing concept of the society and they prove the judiciary to be highest among all. Laws are made for the benefit and betterment of the pupil so that they can work accordingly without any chaos in the surrounding. It’s the duty and responsibility of every human being to obey and respect the norms without any commotion and disturbance to others.
