In 1949, the Constituent Assembly, and especially Dr B.R. Ambedkar, expressed grave apprehensions that the EC’s independence could be compromised by the appointment of a person who is likely to be under the executive’s thumb.
The gross abuse of the tool of ‘interview’ to deliberately deny entry to aspirants from marginalised sections in educational institutions and public sector employment on the pretext that they lack even minimum merit is not a new phenomenon, it has been blatantly used for decades.
The deliberate policy of big pharma and rich countries to leave large populations in poorer countries unvaccinated could plunge the world into another downturn.
Julian Assange and his organisation WikiLeaks published vital information received from whistle-blowers that chronicled U.S. war crimes and atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan. This includes the horrifying video that showed U.S. military personnel killing Iraqi civilians.
