Justice is not blind, just a tad tongue-tied"

-
Introduction: The article "Justice is not blind, just a tad tongue-tied" by K. Chandru delves into the linguistic challenges within India's judicial system. It critiques the reliance on English in legal proceedings and judgments, which often alienates non-English-speaking citizens, thereby questioning the accessibility and inclusivity of the justice system. Key Points: 1. Constitutional Provisions on Language: .Article 343 designates Hindi as the official language of the Union. Article 345 allows states to adopt their own official languages.

The frequency and intensity of cyclones in the Arabian Sea have increased in the recent years examine the reasons?

  The Arabian Sea is comparatively less prone to cyclonic storms than the Bay of Bengal. Almost 50 per cent of the storms do not sustain over its waters since the west-central and north Arabian Sea have a colder sea temperature than other adjacent regions. This cold sea surface temperature is not favourable for the development and sustenance of cyclonic storms. In the usual course, there was an occurrence of one extremely severe cyclone in every four-five years in the Arabian. The cyclone pattern and occurrence has shown a change and the climatological data from the last few years suggest that the Arabian Sea (west coast) also started receiving tropical cyclones of high intensity in a small time interval. For instance, in 15 years (1998 to 2013), five extremely severe cyclones originated in the Sea.Nilofar’ Cyclone ‘Chapal’ followed by Cyclone ‘Megh , cyclone Tauktae . There are various reasons for it, i ncluding the geographical location, the sea surface temperature (SST, as...
