Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , language: English, abstract: Crop residue burning is a technique used by the farmers for the preparation of land for next cultivation. Through this technique the remaining of crops like straw which remains in the field as residue after harvesting is burned. It¿s an air pollution issue and concern for every one as this kind of practice by the farmers emits lots of handful gases in the air. Crop residue burning practice is common in almost every states of India. One can find such practice in Chhattisgarh too. Stubble burning is considered to be the cheapest methods for cleaning the field after harvesting. Though it¿s a cheap practice but its impact is hazardous in nature and the most important concern for all is to stop such practice and to prevent air pollution. The smoke which is released from crop residue burning is a mixture of particles and chemicals produced by incomplete burning of carbon-containing materials and this is one of the reasons for many air born diseases like Asthma. All smoke contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulate matter or soot which is very harmful. Even Section 19(5) of The Air (Prevention And Control Of Pollution) Act, 1981 states that ¿If the State Government after consultation with the State Board, is of opinion that the burning of any material (not being fuel) in any air pollution control area or part thereof may cause or is likely to cause air pollution, it may, by notification in the Official Gazette, prohibit the burning of such material in such area or part thereof¿. Now the question which comes here is that from various surveys and from images issued by NASA it¿s cleared that in many states of India, Crop residue burning is practiced by the farmers which shows that either the Government is Silent or is unable to stop such practiced. Through this paper researcher will discussed about the impact and solution of stubble burning. Keywords: Smoke, Stubble Burning, Air Pollutant, Hazardous, NASA

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, Indian School of Business Management & Administration (ISBM UNIVERSITY), language: English, abstract: Senicide is the practice of suicide or killing of aged persons. And one can find this kind of practice at Tamil Nadu in India in the name of Thalaikoothal. Thalaikoothal is the practice of killing elderly people of the family. Thalaikoothal is a Tamil word which means ¿leisurely oil bath¿. And the methods which are used for the killing of the aged person in the name of Thalaikoothal are not only painful but it¿s against the entire humanity. Ethically, morally and legally such practices should be stopped as they violate Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and it¿s against the mankind. According to Article 21 of Indian Constitution, ¿No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law¿. Right to life under Article 21 does not include the right to die. Right to life is a natural right. Even in India only passive euthanasia is permitted and not Active euthanasia. The question regarding Right to die first time came before Bombay High Court in State of Maharashtra v. Maruty Sripati Dubal 1987 Cri LJ 743. And in this case the court declared that the Right to Life includes the Right to die, thus making Section 309 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 which makes attempt to suicide as punishable offence unconstitutional. But the Supreme Court in Gian Kaur v State of Punjab (1996)2 SCC 648, held that Right to life does not include ¿Right to die¿ or ¿Right to be killed¿. Thus, attempt to suicide is a punishable offence under section 309 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. Right to life is a natural right and right to die is not a natural right and no one has a right to finish their life in unnatural way. Thus, the practice of Thalaikoothal is illegal and unethical.
