7 Rouhani s challenge Iran s President begins his second term in daunting(कठ न) circumstances at First term-> Initiate social reform+ Women Empowerment Home -> (Conservatives- पर पर व द ) (Complex-> Multipolar political system) Go ahead with the nuclear deal despite concerns from the establishment- successful Abroad -> (Sunni states+ U.S.)=> Trump vs Obama Second term. Tuesday, he nominated an all-men cabinet, which needs to be approved by Parliament (Majlis) Not to take the risk of antagonising (न र ज) conservatives. To be sure, these are hard times for a moderate President in Iran. Donald Trump threatening to cancel its certification- Imposing more sanctions Hassan Rouhani live up to the expectations of the millions of Iranians who re-elected him.

9 Food for action Supreme Court directive should lead to better access under the Food Security Act National Food Security Act, 2013-> Centre has been asked by the Supreme Court to ensure that States implement key aspects of the progressive law. Directives in the Swaraj Abhiyan case underscore the depressing reality that several State have not met key requirements in the legislation which empower the common person in securing subsidised food. Sections 14, 15 and 16, which require the setting up of a grievance redress mechanism State Food Commission with responsibility to monitor the implementation of the law Union Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan s claim last November that the Act covers the entire country is, therefore, not consistent with the facts. As the court has pointed out, Article 256-> Responsibility on the States and the Union to ensure compliance(अन प लन) with laws made by Parliament.

10 Continue Unfortunately-> NFSA, which is vital for social security through the Public Distribution System and child welfare schemes, has suffered due to a lack of political will. Food security through principle of universal access, though not every citizen would need it. Targeted households chosen by the State governments, with a ceiling of 1)-75% of the population in rural areas and 2)-50% in urban areas. Such arrangements can be made only when there is a full- edged, independent machinery in the form of a Food Commission, District-level grievance redress, besides social audits. All these are provided for under the Act, but have been ignored. Modernisation of the PDS, with the use of information technology, could incorporate such dynamic features to the supply of subsidised food to those who need it, and eliminate deficiencies and fraud.

11 Continue Now that the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has been given specific directives by the court to complete the unfinished tasks this year, As is widely acknowledged, some States are better at running the PDS than others, Food Ministry data presented to Parliament show that the present system does not reflect the true scale of public grievances, with a mere 1,106 complaints received from beneficiaries nationwide in 2016, including those reported in the media. The court s intervention is wholly welcome to make the NFSA meaningful.

12 Today, we do not talk of inclusive nationalism

13 Today, we do not talk of inclusive nationalism Nationalism debate-> If we restrict our understanding of nationalism, we ignore the multiplicity of views that exist. Nazism and fascism were both ugly manifestations of nationalism. We have Gandhi s and Nehru s nationalism, which was anti-colonial and sought to be allinclusive; it was not based on religion. India, we do not talk of inclusive nationalism. What we have is a situation of enforced cultural nationalism. Name of cow protection Tagore said, when the nation becomes powerful at the cost of the harmony of social life, that day is an evil day for humanity. It becomes hard to defend the idea of a nation based only on territorial boundary.

14 Continue 19(2) has its restrictions. But the court has also read these restrictions very narrowly. Court has always said the restrictions to free speech must be reasonable and not excessive or arbitrary. And free speech itself has always been linked to democratic ideals State cannot prevent open discussion, regardless of how hateful such discussion was to the state s policies-> Central Board of Film Certification Supreme Court put it best-> S. Rangarajan v P. Jagjivan Ram (1989), when it said that in a democracy it is not necessary that everyone should sing the same song. Right to free speech and expression also includes the right not to speak or express ourselves. However, under the guise of law, with this order, the court has now restricted our fundamental rights.

15 Continue Making something compulsory, like standing up when a national anthem is sung, undermines the very meaning of that action, and the respect that is normally accorded to it. It is a form of what I would call conscripted nationalism. Madras High Court has replayed this with its recent order that Vande Mataram 1)-Must be sung regularly in educational institutions and elsewhere, 2)-Including workplaces like factories and offices! I strongly believe that actions like these preventing people from eating the food they want, effectively forcing a life choice on them undermine any feelings of nationalism and unity. This is nothing but enforced cultural nationalism. I practise yoga regularly, for example, and I believe it is a holistic practice. But that does not mean that I will spend the rest of my time foisting(थ प ) yoga upon others. I do not endorse the idea of making yoga compulsory.

16 Conclusion The right to privacy has historically been read under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution by the court. From Govind v State of Madhya Pradesh (1975) to NALSA v Union of India (2014), the Supreme Court has repeated the existence of a right to privacy under the Constitution. One concept emerging throughout is that the right to privacy cannot be absolute. It must be restricted by law, and must be within the parameters of Article 19(2). India is one of the few countries which does not have a privacy law or data protection law. There are many kinds of privacy: privacy of space, privacy of behaviour, privacy of decisions and privacy of information. Privacy even exists in the right to be left alone. I agree-> This is a case involving the citizen versus the state. The court must stand by the citizens.

His petition had sought a direction to the government to frame a National Yoga Policy, saying that right to health was part of the right to lead a dignified life under Article 21 of the Constitution.
