JNU professor linked to RSS-backed body, DU faculty — experts who suggested controversial NCERT deletions KRITIKA SHARMA 14 April, 2023  https://theprint.in/india/education/jnu-professor-linked-to-rss-backed-body-du-faculty-experts-who-suggested-controversial-ncert-deletions/1516629/
While NCERT says exercise based entirely on recommendations of ‘expert panel’, some of the experts claim they did offer suggestions, but the final call on accepting them was the council’s. 

At the heart of the row is the fact that while the changes made as part of the rationalisation exercise were declared publicly through online booklets, some of these controversial deletions weren’t mentioned in them. This has led to allegations about a bid to delete these portions surreptitiously.

The NCERT has described the omissions as a possible oversight, but refused to undo the deletions, saying they were based on the recommendations of experts. It has also said the textbooks are anyway headed for a revision in 2024 when the National Curriculum Framework kicks in.

The talk ‘India as a Linguistic Civilisation’ will attempt to trace the many origins of #indianlanguages , their diverse historical trajectories, and their contemporary inequalities as well as their vast diversity. It will make an attempt to describe India's self-hood through the prism of language in order to explain why any myopic idea of national identity negates India's past and present.

And what about the civil society -- social movements, campaign organisations, intellectuals, and citizens? What is the roadmap for 2024 and beyond? How do we consolidate the gains of #Bharatjodoyatra and turn this into a movement, a Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan?

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn’t spot a single tiger or any big cat while on his 22-km safari in Bandipur Tiger Reserve (BTR) from 7.15 am to 9.30 am on Sunday. ...Excited and jittery, Madhusudhan, who is still having goosebumps after driving the PM, told The New Indian Express: “Sightings in forests is just luck. When I did the trial run on Friday and Saturday for the security teams, two tigers were sighted. In fact, the PM saw fresh tiger pugmarks, but just missed the tiger.

Criminal intent, direct act instigating suicide must to prove abetment: SC http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/99392117.cms  Swati Deshpande Apr 11, 2023,

The arrest of a first-year student of IIT-Bombay on charges of abetting the suicide of his batchmate Darshan Solanki has again turned the spotlight on what constitutes this offence and the judicial pronouncements on abetment.
"In matters of abetment of suicide, human emotions play a very big part and, therefore, police must always be circumspect in exercising their power of arrest. The law on abetment to suicide is now fairly clear and well settled: such allegation of abetment must have a live link with the actual suicide," said senior counsel Amit Desai.

"Abetment involves a mental process of instigating a person or intentionally aiding a person in doing a thing. Without a positive act on the part of the accused to instigate or aid in committing suicide, conviction cannot be sustained," a Supreme Court bench of Justices Dalveer Bhandari and K S P Radhakrishnan said in 2010 defining 'abetment'.
