The dichotomy between self and society has been keeping us all awake in the middle of night. Perhaps the question of this contradiction between self and society emerges only when we have been able to sustain or survive this self. Without physical existence is it possible to think beyond the hunger? Though both society and self goes hand in hand but is it possible to just bifurcate both these institutions. Can we self-survive without the society or vice-versa?

Self and Society "The desire to live is a political decision ." - Raoul Vaneigem (The revolution of everyday life) The dichotomy between self and society h...

In our time, where the principles of a market economy govern everything, making a profit from things and their utility is society's core value. In this scenario, even romantic relationships are molded by market forces. People view themselves as products in the dating market, and the individual's possession drives the demand and supply dynamics. Additionally, this relationship market eroded people's value to nothing more than trading, up-selling, and sorting them as commodities in a sea of potential relationships.

Another imagined Messiah is gone, now our hope is on the next one, what he will do? Will justice be the basis of our society? Will the rule of law be followed? Will, there be an end to the hypocrisy? With all these questions we welcome the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. But with all these questions a constant expectation will remain, our search for a Messiah to strongly hold together the paralyzed administration of justice in our society.

“Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one’s existence.” --- Babasaheb Dr. BR Ambedkar

After reading this long quote by a great Indian, one may wonder why Ambedkar is saying paradoxical things. To be clear, what Dr. Ambedkar has said might be paradoxical in the way the quote is structured, but it is the reality that one might witness in present India, i.e., India@75. In today’s India, we the people of India aren’t truly free in the sense that though we have constitutional guarantees, we are still discriminated against and our liberties are curtailed. This is the point at which the imagined/ideal India of our constitutional framers and various freedom fighters fails. There is no doubt that India has achieved remarkable success in the last 75 years in certain sectors, but it is also not false that India, even after 75 years of independence, is still backward in many social, political, and economic aspects. Recently, a news flashed which reported that a nine-year-old Scheduled Caste child was brutally beaten up by his teacher in Rajasthan for drinking water from a pot. This incident took place on 20th July, 2022 and the victim had to be hospitalized. Unfortunately, the victim succumbed to the injuries inflicted by the casteist teacher on 14th August, 2022. This incident is one of many atrocities that the people of marginalised communities still face.

India is into its 75th year of independence. People are into a celebratory mood. Are they indeed celebrating or just appear to be celebrating?
The question arises as the very thing, i.e., ‘the Freedom', that they are celebrating or are 'supposed' to celebrate is quite difficult to find there. Because, their physical, mental, emotional, or financial freedom is getting curtailed each passing day on one pretext or the other. Their lives have become a kind of capital for the political and the business class which can be exploited at the whims and fancies of these groups. Their emotions, innermost feelings towards themselves, their families, society or country, caste, and religious affiliations or political leanings, for that matter, are on the display and are getting marketed by and for the benefit of such groups.

The last few days have been hailed as what amount to be an achievement of identity politics in India, Droupadi Murmu, a Tribal woman, was elected as the 15th President of India. It is for the first time that a Tribal or what we can say an indigenous person has become the first person of the country. But what comes after this is an appreciation and glorification of the victimhood of the first person. The whole politics of the oppositions have been divided into many stands some stating it as tokenism, others as the emancipation of the marginalized, and rest either confused to support because of her identity or not to support because of her party.

“At some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough. I believe that point is now. The problem starts at the top.” This is the statement by Sajid Javed, the senior cabinet health minister who resigned. Another senior cabinet finance minister, Rishi Sunak said, " The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. We recognize this may be my last ministerial job, but we believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.” These s resignation s clearly reflect that ministers in Britain still believe in collectively responsible government instead of strong man politics. The cronyism and corruption along with happazrdous handling of Covid-19 pandemic were the main reasons for Boris Johnson's failure in the Conservative Party's government

When it comes to defining what is a ‘Crime’, the definitions and grounds we take are the reasoning and understanding of the formal structures of law defined and constructed by those who are in authority or controlling the power structure. Though it is stated that an offence is an offence irrespective of the society's perceptions, as long as it satisfies the essentials of the Criminal law. But that is the partial reality because to consider a particular action or omission as an offence we need a victim of the said offence. It may be stated that under Criminal
