OUR VIEW ON GENDER ROLE IN SOCIETY & POLITICS

It’s not surprising or even a debatable topic that we live in a heterosexual male dominating world. One doesn’t have to look far to see how or why it’s happening. We all experience it in our daily lives, families, educational communities and politics.

In today’s political landscape, motherhood is often deployed as a tool to highlight the ‘sacred nature of a subject, ranging from the Gau Mata to Bharat Mata and Ganga Mata. At the same time, issues around women’s rights and empowerment, varying from triple talaq to Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, are regular topics of conversation in Political circles. But an important question remains- do the men in Indian Politics only want to talk about women, or are they also willing to make an effort to share power with them?

Yes, we are moving towards women empowerment to achieve gender equality step by step. But that’s still just a perception; even today the vast majority of Indians (64%) are of the view that the role of women in society is to become good mothers and wives and they should focus mainly on home, according to the findings of a global survey by Ipsos. The Ipsos global trend survey 2017 examined attitudes towards the role of women, parenting, and family across 22 countries, interviewing 18,180 adults.

“More Indian women may be moving out of their homes, seeking employment and carving out a niche for themselves at workspaces, but society sees them more as accomplished mothers and wives in primary role, relegating other roles to secondary positions,” Executive Director, Ipso Public Affairs, said in a sentence

From personal experience, in my household, my mother is a business owner and my dad a government employee. No doubt that my mother plays the role of a housewife, mother and a badass boss. But still even today when it comes to decision making she hands it over to my father. It’s more like a system is fixed in women’s head that the final decision has to come from the man of the house. And I’m pretty sure this must be the case in most of the liberated and slightly upper-class families like mine. I’m not denying that there aren’t exceptions but, yes these things happen around us all the time.

Now, when it comes to politics, in India, nine out of ten legislators are men. While, Indian politicians are eager to talk about women’s empowerment and the political legacies of India’s female politicians like Sushma Swaraj, Indira Gandhi or Pratibha Patil, these women remain largely anomalies in the Indian political landscape rather than a norm.

Among our South Asian Neighbors, we rank fifth in the women’s political representation in parliament falling behind Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal. On the other hand, while many countries around the world gasped at the idea of a female head of state, India was the second country in the world to elect a female head of state, Indira Gandhi. Presently, women in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet lead some of the most important ministries, from defense to foreign affairs. Yet still, cases of violence against women increased by 40 percent from 2012 to 2016, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. A woman was raped every 13 minutes, a bride was murdered for dowery every 69 minutes, and six women are gang-raped every day in India.

Politically, women have been making their presence felt in voter turnouts. According to the Election Commission data from 2014 General Elections, the female voter turnout was higher than male turnout in 16 states and union territories out of 35. However, women remain underrepresented in state and national decision-making bodies. The decision making which is done from ministry for women and children is done by men. When someone looks at you suggestively regardless of what you are wearing, just because you have a bigger chest and ass compared to that person, or travelling alone no matter what time of the day while a man following you or listening to comments being passed on or being looked down on by your colleagues at workspace, colleges or even schools by men for being a female and not having a penis; why should those very men make decision for an entire county where 55 percent of work is done by women. So obviously, women remain underrepresented in state and national decision-making bodies. India’s handful of female politicians have occupied some of the highest seats of power but their rise, like many of their counterparts in Asia, has often been through the patronage of the family legacy.

The barriers of entry for the female politicians are much higher as they contend with multiple other surface and structural issues. According to the Economic Survey 2018, prevailing cultural attitudes regarding gender roles, domestic responsibilities, female illiteracy, lack of confidence or finances and the threat of violence, are just some of the obstacles women face.

One way to combat this disparity is through quotas.

In 1994, India ratified the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Indian Constitution, granting women 1/3 reservation in rural and urban democratic bodies. This was followed in 1996 by the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill that would reserve 33 percent of seats in Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies for women on a rotational basis.

After much contestation, the bill finally passes in the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but lapsed in 2014 with the dissolution of 15th Lok Sabha. It continues to languish-22 years since the initial proposal.

One thing so far is clear as water, that we need female representation in Politics because we need women who have experienced all the problems a female goes through from being a girl to a woman. It’s not just about representation, but to initiate gender equality at the highest rank, for transgender and non-binary citizens to step up and represent their communities. Role model effect also erases the gender disparity in educational attainment of young girls.

While quotas allow women access to positions of power, according to some detractors, they also weaken the ideas of the election based on merit in democracy. There is concern that women in government may compromise growth as pro-female and pro-family policies are often associated with welfare. However, many women run for the local governments, because of pressure from relatives eager to keep a particular seat in the family or gain material benefit. Their spouses, the “panchayat patis”, often control the position, wielding power through the women’s position. Furthermore, once elected, women often run again for political office even after their constituencies have been de-reserved. While the reservation for women is only for 33 percent of the seats, women make up 46 percent of the elected representatives in Panchayati Raj institutions, exhibiting active participation and leadership at local governments levels.

Presently, the two largest political parties of India, the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC), support the women’s reservation bill in their rhetoric. However, contrary to the popular rhetoric support, India Today finds that in the 2014 General Elections, BJP gave only 8.8 percent tickets to women candidate and Congress just 12.9 percent.

The Times of India reported that BJP was planning to field at least 25 percent women candidates in Madhya Pradesh for the 230 seats. BJP’s past record, however, remains a shoddy record.

In the Karnataka state elections in May, only 6 of the 224 candidates fielded by the BJP were women, less than 3 percent of their total candidature. Ironically, Prime Minister Modi’s slogans as he kicked off the state election campaign were, “Beta, Beti Ek Saman” (Son and Daughter are equal). The other two big parties in Karnataka elections didn’t fare much better when it came to representing women. The INC and JD(S), fielded 15 and 4 female candidates respectively.

In August, the INC president, Rahul Gandhi, penned a scathing letter to Modi urging him to “walk his walk” on Women’s empowerment and pass the bill. Like BJP, in practice, only 14 percent of the newly formed Congress Workers’ Committee leaders are women, despite the constitution of the INC calling off for 33 percent reservation for the party’s committees.

Studies show that for women to have a meaningful impact in Parliament, they need to reach at least a 30 percent threshold.

“We want respect and to be treated on par with another citizen. That I defeated a person, who is not a transgender shows people love me” these are the words spoken by Dnyaneshwar Kamble, a 40-year-old transgender women elected as Maharashtra’s first ever transgender Sarpanch on 17th October 2018 in the gram panchayat elections in Tarangfal villege of Solapur. Kamble intends to focus on lok sevs (welfare of people) and gram seva (welfare of the village/society). Villagers in her area still defecate in the open- Kamble said she would concentrate on making her village open defecation. She is a Standard VII dropout, but she regrets not completing her education. Kamble would also focus on providing better education to the villagers.

The Logical Indian community appreciates the fact of how people have chosen Kamble as their representative. Kamble and many others have been on the receiving end of social ignorance. A move like this works as an encouragement for the entire society. We hope this acts a precedent for other communities as well.

In short, representation matters. Either you are gay, lesbian, binary, non- binary or whatever, we as a whole are citizens of a country which doesn’t allow or even recognizes that representation is the key to a progressive nation and be recognized as a first world country as we should be.

[12/13/2020, 10:02 AM] Ideaman Of India(Bharat).: Vigilance officials seized cash, jewels from RTO and check-posts

http://in.opr.news/142db5e9201212en_in?client=news

[12/14/2020, 11:56 AM] Ideaman Of India(Bharat).: *POOR JAYALALITHA*

And poor Jayalalitha departed.

She could not take anything with her.

The imperious Jayalalitha who ruled over Tamil Nadu became just a memory. She became the permanent occupant of 6 feet of public land, not in any of the thousands of acres she owned.

She was taken in a gun carriage, though she had a good fleet of luxury cars and vehicles, leaving empty handed, and leaving everything earned through fair and foul means for others.

1197 Acres in Tirunelveli.

200 Acres in Valajapetta.

100 Acres in Otthukkotta.

25 Acres in Shiruthavoor.

200 Acres and another farm of 100 Acres in Kancheepuram.

Grape Garden of 14.5 Acres in Jeedimetla village in Ranga Reddy district in Telangana.

Kodanad Tea Estate of 1600 Acres with Bunglows in Nilgiri.

Besides these, she had...

A massive 24,000 square feet residential property called Veda Nilayam in Poes Garden costing about Rs 100 Crores.

commercial buildings, including one each in Chennai and in Hyderabad. Other properties included....

800 kg silver.

28 kg gold.

750 pairs of shoes.

10,500 sarees.

91 watches.

Two Toyota Prado SUVs.

Tempo Traveller.

Tempo Trax.

Mahindra Jeep.

An Ambassador car

A Mahindra Bolero.

A Swaraj Mazda Maxi.

A Contessa.

The nine vehicles are worth around Rs 42,25,000. (As on 1997), not to speak of Benami properties held all over and later additions.

Her life is a lesson for all human beings;

when the call comes from above, you may not even have time to say goodbye to your near and dear.

No one can help you, no one can save you, not the followers who were ready to do anything and even to give up their lives, a battery of servants waiting for an instruction, or the battalion of officers ready to take orders, best hospitals, best medical brains from India and abroad – repeat no one.

It is also a lesson that whatever one amasses arrogantly through unfair means, through deceit, giving pain to others, will have to be left behind, along with what was earned fairly.

Sometimes, even the offering of last drop of water or performance of last rites may not be by a blood relative as in her case.

*Realise that we are only a traveller here and have to leave for the next destination.

So give up ego or all that are related, realise one’s own true self, be a good human being showing empathy to fellow beings.

Bengal assembly to be convened to pass resolution against farm laws, says Mamata Banerjee: Top developments

NEW DELHI: West Bengal is on its way to become the sixth state in the country to pass a resolution against Centre’s three farm laws. All these six states are ruled by parties opposed to the NDA. Meanwhile, BJP leaders from Punjab met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that Maoists had sneaked into the farmers’ protests. Here are the key developments: 1. Continuing her tirade against Centre over the new farm laws, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said arrangements would soon be made to convene an assembly session to pass a resolution against the contentious acts. With assembly polls knocking at the door, Banerjee also hinted at implementing the PM-Kisan scheme in Bengal if the farmers benefitted out of it. She said she’s had asked Centre to share details of all those who have registered themselves on the Union government’s portal for the programme. Banerjee, however, asserted that she would never allow the implementation of the three farm laws, which have sparked protests across the country. “We are against those farm laws. We would soon convene an assembly session for a day or two and pass a resolution against the anti-farmer laws,” Banerjee said. Bengal, if it passes the resolution, would become the sixth state in the country to do so, after Kerala, Delhi, Punjab, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. 2. Farmers protesting against the new agriculture laws deferred their proposed tractor march from January 6 to January 7 due to a bad weather forecast, even as they asserted they will intensify their stir in the coming days. Addressing a press conference at Singhu Border, Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav said “it has been seven months” since the new laws came into force and the government has held seven round of talks with farmers since then, but it has not listened to “seven words” of farmers which are: “We want repeal of the farm laws”. 3. The government should shed its arrogance and repeal the agri laws against which farmers are protesting, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said. He also accused the Modi government of apathy towards the death of “over 60 farmers”. “The Modi government’s apathy and arrogance have claimed the lives of over 60 farmers. Instead of wiping their tears, the government of India (GOI) is busy attacking them with tear gas. Such brutality, just to promote crony capitalists’ business interests. Repeal the anti-farm laws,” he said on Twitter. 4. BJP leaders from Punjab met Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid protests by farmers at Delhi’s borders against the centre’s new agri laws for nearly six weeks. BJP leaders Surjit Kumar Jyani, a former Punjab minister, and Harjit Singh Grewal met Prime Minister Modi at his residence. Jyani was chairing the BJP’s Kisan Coordination Committee for interacting with farmers in Punjab last year on the three farm bills which at that time had not been passed by Parliament. Grewal was also a member of the committee. Jyani said the farmers should not be adamant, they should leave their demand of repealing agri laws. PM understands Punjab very well and gives priority to farmers, he said after meeting the PM. Harjit Singh Grewal alleged that Maoists have entered farmers’ agitation, not letting the issue get resolved. 5. Madhya Pradesh agriculture minister Kamal Patel said farmers staging protest on Delhi borders against Centre’s new agri laws have rejected pleas to end their stir as they are “enacting a drama to sleep” and it is not possible to “awake” such persons. “They (agitators) are not listening to us as we can awaken a person who is actually sleeping, but not the one who is enacting a drama to sleep, he told mediapersons. The minister was asked about the reasons behind farmers staging protest despite severe cold and rains, and no outcome in talks with the central government on the issue of the new agriculture laws. The senior BJP leader claimed that most farmers in the country are with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the three new agri-marketing laws. 6. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the BJP of favouring wealthy people over farmers. In a tweet in Hindi, Akhilesh Yadav said, “The biggest problem with the BJP government is that it does not consider itself as a public representative (jan pratinidhi) but as wealth representative (dhan pratinidhi).” Hence, for the wealthy people, it is putting farmers’ interest at stake, he said, adding that the BJP has forgotten that those whom it is causing harm constitute two-third population of the country and never accept defeat. Earlier too, the Samajwadi Party chief had accused the BJP of giving importance to its “capitalist friends” and said the farmers’ protest against the new agriculture laws is an example of the government’s “failure”.

THE SEED BILL 2019 IS A THREAT TO INDIA’S SEED SOVEREIGNTY AND FARMERS RIGHTS.

A Seed Bill was introduced in 2004 for compulsory Registration and Certification of Seeds . It was also aimed at repealing the Seed Act 1966 which is supposed to prevent spurious seed being being sold in the market .

A nation wide Seed Satyagraha submitted lakhs of signatures to the then Prime Minister with farmers declaring that their right to seed and exchange seed was their birthright . Farmers are the first breeders who have evolved the rich biodiversity of crops and fruits in India -including 200,000 rice varieties, 15,000 wheat varieties , 1500 mango varieties and 1500 banana varieties.

We have a duty to conserve this rich heritage of the biodiversity of crops that has nourished us over centuries , feeds us today , and holds the future of our food sovereignty .We have a right to save and exchange our time tested seeds freely among ourselves as farmers in self governed living seed economies and living seed democracies . This is Bija Swaraj for farmers.Bija Swaraj is self organisation and self rule by communities of farmers conserving , breeding, exchanging , selling their seeds in their communities.

The 2004 Seed Bill was sent to a standing Committee of Parliament .It failed to become an Act because it did not protect farmers rights and our seed heritage

The Seeds Bill 2019 is worse than the 2004 Bill .It is in fact a bill that threatens our Seed Sovereignty and Seed Freedom . It is a Bill that undermines Farmers Rights .It is a Bill that tries again to impose industrial seed from corporations through a UPOV like structure. We rejected UPOV and wrote our sovereign sui generis law as the PVPFRA Act .It is a bill that attempts to hand over our seed system to global MNCs by opening the floodgates for GMO seeds and non renewable hybrid seeds , increasing the farmers burden and aggravating the agrarian crisis.

While Corporate strategies of introducing non renewable , high cost hybrids is failing , farmers strategies based on conservation and evolutionary breeding of the native , desi varieties farmers have evolved are offering solutions for addressing the climate crisis ,the water crisis, desertification crisis , and the crisis of malnutrition .

Seed Sovereignty is the basis of food sovereignty and food security .Farmers Rights and Farmers Seed Soveregnty is the foundation for the freedom and sovereignty of the country .

In the context of increasing control over seed by 4 chemical giants ,defending our Seed Sovereignty and Farmers Rights is central to defending our national sovereignty .

The Seed Bill fails to protect India’s seed sovereignty and uphold Farmers Rights .

Farmers seed sovereignty is the foundation of our nation’s seed and food sovereignty .The Nation’s Seed Sovereignty , National Bija Swaraj ,is based on protecting our agricultural Biodiversity through the Biodiversity Act 2003 http://nbaindia.org/uploaded/Biodiversityindia/Legal/31.%20Biological%20Diversity%20%20Act,%202002.pdf, strengthening our national seed systems , including the National Seed Corporation and State Seed Corporations which breed and produce reliable seeds adapted to India’s diverse agro climatic zones and provide them to farmers at affordable costs . National Bija Swaraj is freedom from MNC control over our seeds by. MNC’s threaten our national sovereignty when they threaten our Seed Sovereignty .

Seed Security is national security and therefore must be kept in public hands – of farming communities , and of public institutions that were created for the public good, unlike giant corporations who control seed for super profits

Concentration of Corporate Control Over Seeds

4 agrochemical corporations now control the seed . Such concentration of control over the first link in the food system is a threat to our seed sovereignty and our national sovereignty .The Bill will increase this concentration and control.

The big chemical giants who have bought up smaller companies have merged further . Bayer has merged with Monsanto through a $ 63 billion deal. Dow and DuPont merged in a deal valued at $130 billion (announced in 2015). They were then divided into three companies, including an agriculture-focused firm called Corteva. Chemchina acquired Syngenta for $43 billion (announced in 2016)

These four firms are now estimated to control over 60% of global proprietary seed sales.Global Seed Industry Changes Since 2013

While multinationals were not allowed in the Seed Sector prior to the 1990’s,34% of the seed market in India has already been captured by these MNCs prior to the merger of the six large corporations. The Bill will accelerate this capture of our seed supply by the Big giants .

With high levels of control , the corporations have increased seed prices, they have destroyed biodiversity , and farmers seed sovereignty .Farmers are forced to buy seed at high costs in every season .

Seed Sovereignty rests on Farmers Rights

Farmers Rights are also enshrined in the Plant Variety Protection and Farmers Rights Act of India , which is a sui generis option given in Article 27.3 b of the TRIPS agreement of WTO .I was a member of the expert group to draft the act

CHAPTER VI of the act is on FARMERS’ RIGHTS states

39. Farmers’ rights.—(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act,(iv) a farmer shall be deemed to be entitled to save, use, sow resow, exchange, share or sell his farm produce including seed of a variety protected under this Act in the same manner as he was entitled before the coming into force of this Acthttps://indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1909/1/200153.pdf

The farmers rights clause forced Pepsi to withdraw its case against potato farmers in Gujrat

Any law related to seed needs to uphold Farmers Rights as enshrined in our national sovereign laws.

Scientific advances has clearly established that industrial seed breeding for chemicals has increased the toxic burden on the planet ,increased the chronic disease burden on society , contributed to the climate emergency and water emergency . Farmers seed conservation of farmers varieties is providing society with crops and foods which are more nutritious, more climate resilient and more water conserving .

For promoting chemical free agriculture , we need Desi Seeds . To protect , conserve , and spread desi seeds ,breed, evolve Desi Seeds, farmers seed sovereignty needs to be recognised and upheld .This is Bija Swaraj

The 2019 Seed Bill does the opposite . It is a corporate driven Bill for allowing seed monopolies , and introduction of untested ,ill adapted seeds in India which have already contributed to serious agrarian distress , and a rapid loss of our rich Biodiversity .

2019 Seed Bill :Weakening Farmers Rights, Strengthening Corporate Control

Throughout the Bill, there are attempts to weaken farmers rights , and increase corporate control over seed.

The very definition of “farmer” has been changed to allow corporations and traders to be counted as farmers .

The Original definition of farmer excluded any individual, company, trader or dealer who engages in the procurement and sale on a commercial basis . This has been deleted in the current draft

The definition is now a loose definition without clear exclusion of non farmers .

“Farmer means any person who owns cultivable land or any other category of farmers who are doing the agricultural work as may be notified by the Central / State Governments”

Because of our Seed Satyagraha for Bija Swaraj , the earlier draft had a clause which exempted farmers from the requirements of the Bill . This exemption clause has been deleted in the current draft, government can Instead there is an exemption of scientific and research institutions, and extension systems from the requirements of the Bill .

Over the last two decades of neo liberal privatisation of the seed system our public breeding programs have collapsed , our public Seed Corporations are struggling without resources , our public research and extension systems have been displaced by the MNC’s with their research organisations, and their own extension systems.The 2019 version thus gives corporations a free hand , while removing the exemption of farmers , and hence destroying their seed sovereignty , both at the farmer level and at the national level

Bayer has set up a new canola/mustard research station, spread in 10 acres at Palwal in Haryana, “will focus on breeding and development of core germplasm for high performing mustard hybrids for both Indian and global markets” .

Bayer CropScience has 25 per cent market share in canola hybrid seeds in the global market. India with approximately 6.5 million hectares under mustard cultivation is a big market for Bayer.https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/agriculture/bayer-opens-breeding-unit-to-develop-mustard-seeds-in-haryana/articleshow/18347821.cms?from=mdrhttps://www.bayer.in/media/news/news-title-140.php

Under the new definition of “farmer” of anyone owning cultivable land under clause 11, Bayer could qualify as a “farmer”. And with the new exemptions of Clause 47 , Bayer/Monsanto could also be exempted from any regulation under the Seed Law .

This is why this Bill is deregulation Bill for corporations , and an inspector/police raj for the farmers and horticulturalists who have bred and conserved India’s rich Agricultural Biodiversity , and who have a right to Seed Freedom, Bija Swaraj

Unscientific , corporate friendly definition of “Seed”

The Bill is not based on the science of biodiversity conservation or evolutionary breeding that is needed in times of climate change .

Seeds and all living systems, are self organising autopoeitic systems iIn self organisation, self rule, self regulation , Bija Swaraj , lies the freedom and evolutionary potential of the seed , and our farmers ,and India as an ecological civilisation and a sovereign country not enslaved by corporate rule .

Giant Corporations have been trying to own and control the seed . External control and manufacturing ownership over autonomous beings is the source of their power and profits .

The Seed Bill is the latest expression of the corporate attempt to control and own our seeds. Since seed is the first link in the Food System. controlling seed means controlling our food and our lives.

This contest between self organisation and external control is currently in India’s highest courts .

In a case in the SC ,Monsanto tried to undermine the clause 3j in our patent Act which embodies the recognition of the integrity and self organisation of life .Monsanto failed in its attempt to dismantle Art 3j of our Patent Act which states

Chapter II of our Patent Act on INVENTIONS NOT PATENTABLE in article 3j states

3. What are not inventions.—The following are not inventions within the meaning of this Act…

(j) plants and animals in whole or any part thereof other than micro organisms but including seeds, varieties and species and essentially biological processes for production or

propagation of plants and animals;

Monsanto has been trying to use the tools of genetic engineering to patent and own life for the last 30 years .It has been attempting to be the “Patient , diagnostician ,physician” in defining living organisms, including seeds , as their invention and creation . One could say that for Monsanto GMO means God Move Over , Monsato defines itself as the creator , and hence owner of life .

For thirty years I have defended the integrity of life ,freedom of the seed , and freedom of farmers to save and exchange seed . My deep commitment to the philosophy of Vasudhaiv Kutumbkan, the Earth as one Family and one Community , translates into a commitment to defend 3j of our Patent Act and Farmers Rights. Contrary to Monsanto’s myth,life is not Monsanto’s invention . Life is self organised evolution in renewal and continuity. Life and seeds have intrinsic worth and integrity .Seeds are a commons and a public good on which rests the conservation of biodiversity – of insects, pollinators and soil organisms, the livelihood security of farming communities , and the public health of the country’s citizens.

The 1966 Seed Act had a clear definition of “seed”

(11) “seed” means any of the following classes of seeds used for sowing or planting- seeds of food crops including edible oil seeds and seeds of fruits and vegetables;

cotton seeds; seeds of cattle fodder;

and includes seedlings, and tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, roots, cuttings, all types of grafts and other vegetatively propagated material, of food crops or cattle fodder;

“variety” means a sub-division of a kind identifiable by growth, yield, plant, fruit, seed, or other characteristic.

In the draft Seed Bill new commercial definitions of seed have been introduced which are guided more by providing corporations like Bayer/Monsanto easy market access than by the objective of conserving our rich biodiversity ,guaranteeing farmers freedom to save and exchange seeds they have evolved , and ensuring high quality ,reliable, affordable , ecologically adapted seed for their ecosystem and agroclimatic zone are available in the market .

The Bill introduces unscientific definitions on “national seed variety” and state seed variety in Clauses 17 and 31

(17) “national seed varieties” means those varieties which are cultivated in more than one State•

(31) “State seed varieties” mean those varieties which are cultivated in one State only

Seed is the expression of diversity of traits and diversity of the agroclimatic zones where seed varieties have been bred by farmers , and to which they are adapted. To describe seeds not according to their traits and agroclimatic zones , but as “national seed” if they are cultivated in more than one state and state seed variety if they are cultivated only in one state has no basis in science , but only a commercial basis , to facilitate the marketing and spread of unreliable , costly seeds from MNCs.

Corporations have introduced hybrid corn , GMO Bt Cotton, and hybrid rice in regions where they were not suitable . This has led to large scale failures . In 2003 ,the Bihar Government ordered a probe into the failure of the Monsanto’s ‘Kargil 900m’ maize crop, which was cultivated over 1.4 lakh hectares in the statehttp://https://bit.ly/2YuN0Im

Despite the public and private emphasis placed on the potential of hybrid rice seed to raise yield ceilings, a number of problems have been associated with their use in India. These include technical issues related to inferior grain quality, inadequate disease or insect resistance, poor taste or texture and inconsistent yields (Janaiah 2002;Spielman et al. 2013;Singh et al. 2015)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262122778_Hybrid_Rice_for_Indian_Farmers_Myths_and_Realities

FAO has also confirmed that hybrid rice has “inferior grain quality; inadequate disease/insect resistance in the first generation of hybrids; inconsistent and low seed yield; inadequate supply of pure seed of parental lines; and the high cost of seed”https://bit.ly/2NuQkfX

Such large scale failures are frequent , and the corporations go scot free .Before enlarging corporate Rights through the Seed Bill , the country needs an assessments of the corporate seed sector .

New Seeds were evaluated in 22 agroclimatic zones was to ensure farmers get quality seed

Under the 1966 Seed Act .

The 2019 Seed Bill has made Evaluation an option

Evaluation of performance

| 49720. The Committee may, for conducting trials to assess the performance, accredit centres of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, State Agricultural Universities and such other organizations fulfilling the eligibility requirements as may be prescribed, to conduct trials to evaluate the performance of any kind or variety of seeds.

Government Regulations are supposed to Regulate to protect citizens and the public good . The Seed Bill should ensure compensation to farmers in case of seed failure under the Bill which claims to regulate the quality of seed . However ,the Seed Bill leaves it to the farmer to get compensation for Seed Failure under the consumer act , why do we need a Seed Bill . The Clauses on Liability are empty if there is no liability in case of seed failure .

Compensation to farmer

| 207—2 1 . Where the seed of registered kind or variety is sold to a farmer, the producer, distributor or vendor, as the case may be, shall disclose the expected performance of such kind or variety to the farmer under given conditions, and if, such registered seed fails to provide the expected performance under such given conditions, the farmer may claim compensation from the producer, dealer, distributor or vendor under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. (68 of 1 986)

We welcome the clauses on Seed Price Regulation . However we do not need a new Seed Bill for this. The Essential Commodity Act gives Government the power to regulate prices as it did in the case of lowering the price of Bt Cotton through the Seed Price Control order .https://seednet.gov.in/PDFFILES/Cotton_Seeds_Price.pdf

Instead of introducing a new bill which favours MNC corporations and spreading the spin in the media that the main purpose of the Bill is to regulate prices , the Government should uphold the Essential Commodities Act which has served the country well .

In the 1966 Act Seed Certification was voluntary .

Grant of certificate by certification agency

9. (3)

Any person selling, keeping for sale, offering to sell, bartering or otherwise supplying any seed of any notified kind or variety may, if he desires to have such seed certified by the certification agency, apply to the certification agency for the grant of a certificate for the purpose.

The 2019 Draft Bill is a Compulsory Seed Certification Bill ,

Seed producers and seed processing units to be registered

247 22.(1) No producer or his sponsor shall grow or organize the production of seed unless he is registered under this Act by the State Government in which he grows or organises such production.

(2) No person shall maintain a seed processing unit unless such unit is under this Act by the State Government

.While it does state in article 12 that

Provided that the farmers shall not be required to register the farmers’ varieties of seeds in the said register.

the deletion of Farmers rights in the Exclusion of clause 47 is a dilution of Bija Swaraj and Farmers Seed Sovereignty

Opening the flood gates for GMO seeds, The Rush to deregulate Biosafety .

The word “transgenic seeds” has been introduced throughout the text. A new category of “synthetic seeds “ has been introduced the the definition of “seed” in article 24.

Section 44 gives an opening for introduction of transgenic varieties on the basis of clearance by the GEAC

Special provision for registration of transgenic varieties

I (l) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 14, no seed of any transgenic variety shall be registered unless the applicant has obtained a clearance in respect of the same as required by or under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986: (29 of 1986)

However ,the Biosafety Regulatory agency has been failing in its regulatory role . It approved Bt cotton which is failing . It approved Bt Brinjal which the Minister had to stop. It approved GMO must even though it has lower yields that indigenous public varieties ,and is tolerant to prohibited herbicide, glofisinate . A case in the Supreme Court has prevented its commercialisation .

The 2019 Seed Bill would allow commercialisation of Bt Brinjal; and Herbicide Resistant Mustard .

Bt Cotton was imported in India illegally in 1995, and its illegal field trials were started in 1998 . It was commercialised in 2002 .

GMO Bt cotton , the first GMO crop commercialised has failed to deliver on its promises of pest control , decreasing chemical use , and increasing yields .

Government data shows that Bt cotton contributed to emergence of resistance in the bollworm, forcing farmers to use more pesticides, with many dying due to pesticide poisoning . Yields have declined to pre Bt cotton days ,and costs of production have increased , adding to the financial burden of farmers .

The analysis and graphs below,based on government data ,is from a Press Release written by Aruna Rodregues and Dr Vandana Shiva.

While control of the Bollworm was the primary justification for Monsanto introducing Bt cotton, the bollworm has developed resistance and new non target species such as (whitefly, jassids, mealybugs etc have emerged as major pests damaging the cotton cotton and trapping farmers in a pesticide treadmill and a debt trap.

Farmers are using more pesticides after Bt cotton was introduced. This undermines the government’s claim to promote chemical free, pesticide free farming

A second false claim related to transgenics and GMOs is that it increases yields .Firstly , Bt introduces a toxic. It is not a yield trait .

Further, yields have actually declined as acreage under Bt cotton has increased .Average All-India Bt cotton yields have stagnated, hovering at around/below 500 Kg/ha over the 14 years of 2005 to 2018, despite the use of ONLY HYBRIDS in Bt cotton, which is around 90% of sown cotton. Some zonal data are no more than even the poorest of African countries, which do not cultivate either Bt- cotton or hybrid cotton. In 2017, 31 Countries were ranked above India in terms of cotton yield and of these, only 10 grew GM cotton. 4

In 2005 and 2006, Bt cotton adoption was ONLY about 12 and 38% respectively (Figs. 4 below), and yet average yields had reached the current low yield plateau of about 450-500 Kg/Ha (CAB and DES data). Bt cotton was not responsible for the increase

Costs of Seeds have gone up .

At introduction in 2002, an equivalent packet of Bt cotton seed was more than 2000% higher than non-Bt varietal seed. Monsanto was allowed a ‘royalty’ on Bollgard I seed without having a patent on it. Conservative estimates show that on average, the additional expenditure on seeds was at least Rs. 1179 per hectare and the Indian farmer may have spent a total additional amount of Rs 14,000 crores on Bt– cotton seeds during the 17-year period from 2002 to 2018. The trait value charged (2002- 2018) is around Rs 7,000 Crores. This excludes Royalties accruing to Mahyco- Monsanto, which were illegal on Bollgard I (first generation Bt cotton), and yet allowed by the regulators.

Besides increasing Seed Costs , other inputs have also dramatically increased.

Net profit was Rs. 5971/ha in 2003 (pre-Bt), but plummeted to net losses of Rs. 6286 in 2015.

source: Min Of Agriculture, Govt. of India: https://eands.dacnet.nic.in/Cost_of_Cultivation.htm Cost of cultivation /

The regulatory system has failed to make Monsanto accountable for the failure of Bt Cotton . The Regulatory system has failed to prevent the illegal spread of Round Ready Herbicide Tolerant Bt cotton .

What India needs is a strengthening of our Biosafety system, removing people in the GEAC who are involved in corporate lobby groups such as ILSI , ensuring there is no conflict of interest at any level .

To introduce GMOs through the Seed Bill will continue the illegal activities of global corporations who have already caused immense damage to our biodiversity, our farmers livelihoods .and our seed sovereignty .

New GMOs based on gene editing (CRISPR (Clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats) Cas-9 ) and gene drives are being rushed to the market inspite of uncertainties related to the technology.

Even while the science is uncertain, and unpredictable impacts observed, instead of using the precautionary principle, a false claim to precision is being made in the context of the the infant CRISPR technology of genetic modification.

While a deterministic assumption of genetic reductionism assumes that CRISPR ‘a relatively easy way to alter any organism’s DNA, just as a computer user can edit a word in a document’ and is precise and predictable, a new study published in Nature Methods revealed that CRISPR introduced hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome of mice.

It found more than 1,500 single-nucleotide mutations and more than 100 larger deletions and insertions. None of these DNA mutations were predicted by the computer algorithms that are widely used by researchers to screen the genome of an organism to look for potential off-target effects.

(Vandana Shiva and Kartikey Shiva, Oneness vs the 1%, Women Unlimited, 2018 pg 86) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5796662/

The European Court of Justice has ruled that gene edited organisms and seeds are GMOs because they have modified the genome of the organism .

Indian Biosafety laws need to add gene edited organisms to GMOS to be assessed for safety .

Before transgenics are allowed in the Seed Bill, the Biosafety Regulatory System needs to be strengthen and made independent of lobbyists who occupy key positions in various committees related to approval of GMOs. A Conflict of Interest assessment needs to be carried out and those with Conflict of Interest need to be removed from the Biosafety Regulatory system ..

Centralisation and undermining of the federal structure of our Seed Governance

In the 1966 Act ,the following was the structure of the Central Seed Committee

3. (2)

The Central Government shall, as soon as may be after the commencement of this Act, constitute a Committee called the Central Seed Committee to advise the Central Government and the State Governments on matters arising out of the administration of this Act and to carry out the other functions assigned to it by or under this Act.

(iii) one person to be nominated by the Government of each of the States.

In the 2019 Seed Bill ,the presence of a representative nominated by each state has been changed to 5 representatives chosen by the centre on a rotational basis

(4) The Committee shall consist of the following other members to be nominated by the Central Government, namely:—

the Secretary (Agriculture), to the State Government one each from the geographical zones as specified in the Schedule on rotation basis;

This is an undermining our federal structure as defined by our Constitution

Recommendations for Parliament

Before the Seed Bill 2019 is considered , parliament should

1 Set up a committee to assess seed failures of corporate seeds and instruct the government to ensure that the corporations pay compensation to the farmers whose crops were destroyed because of false claims and promises .On the basis of report of the committee ,Parliament should recommend to Government how it can set up a strict liability framework to hold the MNC’s accountable for the false claims they make , and the high costs born by farmers because of repeated corporate seed failures

2 Parliament first needs to assess the role on MNCs in our seed system, including their research organisations, their extension systems before this Bill proceeds .

3 A multiparty parliamentary committee needs to be be set up to assess the past performance of GMOs and recommendations for strengthening the regulatory systems, specially in the context of new GMO technology .

The Seed Bill should be brought before parliament only after the parliamentary committees have submitted its reports on the performance of transgenics and GMOs and guidance to Government on strengthening the Biosafety Regulations

4 A multiparty committee of Parliament needs to review the weakening of our national public seed system , and recommend strengthening our national seed sovereignty since Seed Soveregnty is the foundation of national sovereignty and national security

In a televised deal with, he pressured upon the need for mutual cooperation between the government and the opposition events and stated they have “critical roles to play”. He also spoke approximately the performance of numerous authorities schemes and additionally applauded the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for its achievements.

Here’s the full of President Kovind’s speech

Dear fellow residents,

On the eve of our 71st Republic Day, I enlarge my warm greetings to all of you, in India and overseas.

Seven many years ago, on twenty sixth January, our Constitution came into effect. Even before that, this date had received special significance. Having resolved to achieve ‘Purna Swaraj’, our humans were celebrating ‘Purna Swaraj Day’ on each 26th January from 1930 to 1947. That is why, in 1950 we embarked our adventure as a Republic at the 26th January, putting forward to the principles laid down in our Constitution. Since then, each 12 months we rejoice our Republic Day on twenty sixth January.

The current State accommodates the 3 organs – Legislature, Executive and Judiciary, which are always interlinked and interdependent. Yet, on floor, the human beings include the State. ‘We the People’ are the top movers of the Republic. With us, the human beings of India rests the actual energy to decide our collective destiny.

Republic Day 2020 right here to observe LIVE updates

Our Constitution gave us rights as residents of a loose democratic state, but also located on us the responsibility to continually adhere to the vital tenets of our democracy – justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. It turns into simpler for us to observe those constitutional ideals, if we maintain in thoughts the life and values of the Father of our Nation. By doing so, we will be including a meaningful measurement to our celebrations of a hundred and fiftieth birth anniversary of Gandhiji.

The Government has released a number of welfare campaigns, and what's especially noteworthy approximately them is the truth that residents have voluntarily became them into popular actions. The ‘Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan’ has finished amazing success in any such short time. The identical spirit can be seen in different endeavours. Be it giving up cooking gasoline subsidy or pushing virtual bills, the common guy has made the government programmes his own, making them virtually effective. The success of the ‘Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana’ is an issue of satisfaction, as the target of 8 crore beneficiaries has been done. With this, those in want have get entry to to easy gasoline. The ‘Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana’, that is, ‘Saubhagya’ too has brightened people’s lives. Under ‘Pradhanmantri Kisan Samman Nidhi’, more than 14 crore farmer households have turn out to be entitled to get hold of minimum annual profits of Rupees six thousand. This has enabled the farmers who feed us to stay a lifestyles of dignity.

To effectively meet the venture of the growing water crisis, the Ministry of Jalshakti has been created. Water conservation and water management are being given top precedence. I am confident that, like ‘Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan’, ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ too will take the form of a famous movement.

Along with the welfare of these most in want, every policy initiative of the Government is guided via the ‘kingdom-first’ precept. The roll-out of the GST has realised our vision of ‘One united states, One tax, One market’. It is being complemented by the e-NAM scheme, which is strengthening the process of making ‘one marketplace for one nation’ and could benefit farmers. There is a consistent attempt by means of the authorities to make sure normal development of every and each a part of the u . S . – be it Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh, the states inside the North-East or our Islands inside the Indian Ocean.

Strong inner protection is critical for the development of the united states of america. Therefore, the government has taken several concrete steps to reinforce the internal security gadget.

Access to health and education are regularly considered the inspiration of correct governance. In each these sectors, we've got come an extended manner inside the seven decades. The Government has rightly focused its interest on the health region, with its bold tasks. Starting with the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, and expanding to the Ayushman Bharat, that is the world’s biggest publicly funded typical healthcare programme, the Government has proven its care and concern for the well-being of the negative. Quality of healthcare has stepped forward, so has its reach. The Jan Aushadhi Yojana has brought down the healthcare finances of common people in the u . S . A . Via supplying fine regular medicines at low-cost charges.

The foundations of a valid education machine were built in historical instances, with the setting up of excellent universities like Nalanda and Takshashila. In India, understanding has continually been taken into consideration more valuable than power, repute or riches. In our culture, educational establishments are respected as temples of studying. When our land become pushed into backwardness after the long colonial rule, it changed into education that emerged as a direction to empowerment. Even even though the improvement of our tutorial establishments commenced quickly after Independence, in an surroundings of shortage of resources, our achievements in the discipline of education have followed a top notch trajectory. Our endeavour is to make sure that no toddler or youth is denied education. At the same time, we want to strive to reach international education requirements by way of non-stop reform of our instructional systems.

India is pleased with the achievements of ISRO. They are making similarly progress in Mission Gaganyaan, and the nation excitedly seems ahead to the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme gaining further momentum this yr.

This is also the year of Tokyo Olympics. While India has traditionally finished well in some of sports, the brand new era of players and athletes has introduced laurels for the state in increasingly varieties of sports in latest years. At Olympics 2020, the Indian contingent could be subsidized by means of cheers and accurate wishes of thousands and thousands of Indians.

Another source of pleasure for our u . S . A . Has been our diaspora. During my visits overseas, I even have discovered that Indians have now not simplest delivered prosperity to their followed lands, they have got also superior India’s image earlier than the arena community. Many of them have made brilliant contributions in a extensive sort of endeavours.

I don't have anything however unreserved reward for our armed forces, paramilitary and internal safety forces. Their sacrifices to hold the integrity and cohesion of our usa gift a saga of unprecedented braveness and area. Our farmers, medical doctors and nurses, teachers who impart gaining knowledge of and values, scientists and engineers, alert and lively young people, industrious participants of our personnel, entrepreneurs contributing to our economic wealth, artists who enhance our culture, provider area specialists who have earned international appreciation, our fellow countrymen contributing in lots of different spheres of pastime and particularly our resilient daughters who've scaled new heights of achievements towards odds – all of them deliver delight to our state.

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to engage with a few achievers who have carried out commendable work in various fields. Working silently, they have made significant contributions to diverse fields including technology and innovation, sports, empowerment of Divyang people, farming and afforestation, girls and infant empowerment, training, healthcare, revival of old art paperwork and providing food and nutrition to the needy. For instance, Sushri Aarifa Jan has revived the Numdha handicrafts in Jammu & Kashmir; Sushri Ratnawali Kottapallihas been serving sufferers laid low with thalassemia in Telangana; Shrimati Devaki Amma has advanced forest wealth thru her individual efforts in Kerala; Shri Jamkhojang Misao has advanced the lives of many human beings through his network improvement efforts in Manipur and Shri Babar Ali has been presenting education to underprivileged kids in West Bengal in view that his adolescence. There are numerous such examples, I actually have cited just a few of them. They exemplify that everyday human beings could make excellent contributions. There are a massive quantity of voluntary organizations too who've been contributing to the task of state-building, and complementing the initiatives of government.

We at the moment are in the 1/3 decade of the twenty-first century. This might be the decade of the upward push of New India and a new technology of Indians. More and extra of these born in this century are collaborating within the countrywide discourse. With the passage of time, we're gradually dropping residing links with our extraordinary freedom war, but there may be no reason to fear about the continuity of the beliefs that guided it. With advances in generation, the younger minds of nowadays are better knowledgeable and greater confident. The subsequent technology stays strongly committed to the middle values of our state. For our young people, the state continually comes first. With them, we're witnessing the emergence of a New India.

Mahatma Gandhi’s beliefs remain applicable in our state-constructing efforts. It ought to be part of our day by day recurring to introspect on Gandhiji’s message of fact and nonviolence, which has grow to be all the extra essential in our instances.

When combating for a motive, human beings, specially the children, need to now not forget the gift of Ahimsa Gandhiji gave to humanity. Gandhiji’s talisman for figuring out whether an act is right or wrong also applies to the functioning of our democracy. Government and opposition both have critical roles to play. While giving expression to their political thoughts, both have to flow forward in tandem to make certain that improvement of the u . S . A . And welfare of its humans are promoted continually.

As our Republic Day is a celebration of our Constitution, allow me conclude with the phrases of its chief architect, Babasaheb Ambedkar: “If we desire to maintain democracy no longer merely in form, but additionally in fact, what have to we do? The first aspect in my judgment we should do is to hold fast to constitutional techniques of reaching our social and financial targets.”

These words have usually lighted our direction. These words will preserve to reveal us the manner beforehand to new glories.

The idea of worldwide as a large well-knit circle of relatives, captured in our message of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, strengthens our members of the family with different countries. We had been sharing our democratic ideals and the end result of our improvement with the whole world.

We have a lifestyle of inviting foreign heads of states to participate in our Republic Day celebrations. I am glad that this yr, our prominent buddy, The President of Brazil, Mr. Bolsonaro will participate in our Republic Day characteristic the next day.

As India and Indians march forward, we stay committed to attractive the global network to build a secure and wealthy future for ourselves and for the entire humanity.

I once again deliver my Republic Day greetings to all of you and I enlarge my quality needs in your brilliant destiny.

Veteran firefighters being missed as Parliament stuck in a deadlock - india news

In July last year, the first session of the 17th Lok Sabha saw 33 bills (excluding the Finance and Appropriation Bills) being cleared in the Lok Sabha. The opposition leaders backed the government business — bypassing the standing committee scrutiny in several cases — but wanted an assurance from the government floor managers that they would be allowed to debate at least one issue a week under Rule 193 (a debate that ends without voting). That wasn’t forthcoming, and not one such debate under Rule 193 happened. In the Winter Session, the government agreed to just one debate under the rule, according to Trinamool Congrees Lok Sabha leader Sudip Bandopadhyay. Many senior leaders in opposition parties say this, more than anything else, underlines the inability of the government when it comes to floor management. The ongoing Budget Session of Parliament is stuck in a deadlock for the past four days over the Opposition’s demand to immediately discuss the Delhi riots. With the BJP in no mood to relent , legislative business has suffered. Opposition leaders say that in the previous Lok Sabha, senior ministers of the BJP such as the late Arun Jaitley, the late Ananth Kumar or Venkaiah Naidu (now the country’s vice-president) managed the floor deftly. In January 2016, when the fate of the GST bill and some other legislative business looked bleak, Naidu, then the parliamentary affairs minister, met Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi seeking her support to run the House — something which no other BJP leader had done before. Within the following few days, Jaitley and Naidu arranged a meeting between PM Narendra Modi and Gandhi and former PM Manmohan Singh to thrash out differences on the GST bill. The bill was finally passed in August 2016. “Leaders like Jaitley maintained an excellent equation across party lines. Inter-personal equations play an important role... Also, he had the authority; if he promised something to Opposition leaders, they knew it would be done,” said a seniorOpposition leader who asked not to be named. In 2014, Jaitley, the leader of the Upper House, took the final call on the Opposition’s demand for form a select panel on the Insurance Bill to review the clause on increasing FDI in the sector. While the Opposition was in a majority in the Rajya Sabha, he and Naidu also managed to negotiate their way to a panel that finally included members from both the ruling and the Opposition side said a senior RS official on condition of anonymity In the UPA era, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee (who was also the leader of LS) handled negotiations with the Opposition. When Nitin Gadkari became the BJP president, Mukherjee quickly included him in his weekly meetings with LK Advani and Leader of Opposition in LS , the late Sushma Swaraj. It helped Mukherjee get a clearer picture of what the BJP wanted and also helped arrive at solutions on parliamentary issues. The government doesn’t have anyone who can do this today, say analysts. One of the best stories of parliamentary negotiations goes back to the Atal Bihari Vajpayee era. The BJP had stalled the patent bill brought by the earlier Congress government in 1995. But in 2002-03, India started facing trouble in the World Trade Organization and the NDA’s commerce minister Murosoli Maran moved the same patent bill with just two changes: the name of the minister presenting the bill and the date of introduction. The bill was later cleared. “When Kamal Nath (the parliamentary affairs minister) used to hold luncheon meetings with members from opposition parties every week. But today the top leaders of the BJP do not negotiate...,” said a senior Congress leader requesting anonymity. Read the full article
