Whither disaster management after Ockhi? More lives of •fisherfolk would have been saved if disaster management action plans were

implemented properly Widespread human, material, and environmental losses Most disasters — •floods, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides — are due to nature‟s fury(गुस्सा). Cyclone Ockhi struck Kanniyakumari district in Tamil Nadu and parts of Kerala on

November 29th night and 30th morning. As per the information given by •fishermen associations in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, over 120

•fishermen are dead and about 900 are still missing. Failure in damage control- basic failings in the government‟s response: 1)-the cyclone warning was delayed; already out at sea; and 2)-Once the cyclone struck, there was no warlike mobilisation and action , which are the

hallmarks of good disaster management. The Coast Guard, they said, turned a deaf ear to their pleas Indian Navy with its vast array of ships, aircraft and stateoftheart technology should

have stepped in immediate

Revival risks Centre‟s bid to dispel the pall of gloom over economy has been helped in recent weeks by 1)- A sovereign rating upgrade from a global agency 2) Improvement in India‟s rank on a World Bank index for ease of doing business. 3)- Economy clocked a growth of 6.3% in the second quarter of this year, after slowing for

at least four quarters. But official data for 3rd quarter (October to December) so far suggest that economy is still not

entirely out of the woods(जंगल) Rising oil prices, could upset the fragile(नाजुक) recovery After2 months of robust 4%plus growth, industrial activity however slipped in October, with

the Index of Industrial Production reflecting just 2.2% growth. October was a festive month but consumer durables production contracted by nearly 7%,

mining was virtually stagnant, and manufacturing growth moderated to 2.5% from3.8% last year

Nearly 10% drop in GST collections that month compared to September. The IIP has nowgrown just 2.5% in First seven months of 201718,compared to 5.5% in same period last fiscal.

Redefining hate speech Law Commission recommends two new provisions in IPC Hate speech poses complex challenges to freedom of speech and expression. March 2017, the Law Commission, led by former Supreme Court judge, Justice B.S. Chauhan,

recommended inserting two new provisions in the IPC, including speech that instills “fear or alarm” in the listeners, probably goading(भड़काना) them to violence.

The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2017 suggested by the Commission proposes to add• 1)-Section 153C (prohibiting incitement(भड़काना) to hatred) and• 2)-Section 505A (causing fear, alarm, or provocation of violence in certain cases) in the IPC

and make the necessary changes in the Criminal Procedure Code. “hate speech is any word written or spoken, signs, visible representations within the

hearing or sight of a person with intention to cause fear or alarm, or incitement to violence. Laws across jurisdictions treat hate speech differently. This is because fine line between what

constitutes hate speech and the constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression vary from country to country

Law Commission in its 267th Report on „hate Speech‟


Continue U.S. gives a wide berth to hate speech while international human rights covenants and other

Western democracies like Canada, Germany, and U.K. regulate it and subject it to sanctions Commission refers to hate speech as an expression likely to cause distress, offence or incite

hostility towards a particular group Proposed Bill punishes incitement to hatred under Section 153C IPC with imprisonment for a

term which may extend to two years, and •ne up to 5000, or with both. The punishment for an offence committed under Section 505A is imprisonment for

a term which may extend to 1 year and/or •ne up to •5000, or both.

Australia and the U.S., New Delhi. Russia IndiaChina trilateral held its 15th meeting in what can be construed as New Delhi‟s

Continue The proposal for a MoscowBeijingDelhi „strategic triangle‟ had originally come from

former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov during visit India in 1998, when he arguedthat such an arrangement would represent a force for greater regional & international stability
