Partition 1947 – Learning, Unlearning and Relearning

 India is celebrating its 75 years of freedom from the British rule under the title, “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”. Freedom, from the imperialist rule and establishing a system of democratic self-governance is indeed an important achievement in the history of modern India. But as we know it, Indians got freedom but along with it, came the partition of India, which was a decision of the British rule. As if a person lost its limbs, India lost its parts on the right as well as on the left, as the freedom dawned on us at the midnight, on August 15th 1947. By June 1946 it was clear that partition of India is unavoidable. Lord Mountbatten announced a plan, the Mountbatten Plan, which was accepted by the Indian nationalist movement as well as the Muslim League. Radcliffe commission drew the boundaries of the two nations. Respective governments of the newly born two nations, which were, effectively three different parts of India under British rule, were left to deal with issues related to pa...

UPA vs NDA 2004-14 vs 2014-24 critique of the graphic posted by the India Today

Image
Comparing HDI Values India Today has published a graphic comparison of selected indicators during UPA regime and NDA regime. According to the graphic describing performance of Human Development Index for India during the two regimes, the NDA regime has registered better HDI value than UPA regime. Graphic has taken a ten-year average of India’s HDI score from 2004 to 2014, this is 0.566182, comparative average for the NDA during 2014-2022 is 0.631667. It is curious, that India Today used average of the indexed values to compare performance of the index over a period, instead of comparing the actual HDI values.  Choice of taking simple average of the HDI values during UPA and NDA years, churns out numbers such that on the human development front, NDA 2014-22, appears to have performed better than the UPA 2004-14. Comparision of Index numbers over time Should one take a simple average of the index numbers to compare the performance of this index over a period? One should not, the aver...

Snake stories 🐍

For past few days I have been following the Snakes of India page on Facebook. Feels good to be able to correctly identify the wolf snake. I used to be always confused about that. 😊 Identifying the big 4's (cobra, Krait, saw scaled viper and Russel's viper), or pit vipers or the king cobra, was not a problem since as a teenager I learnt about them.  After having bitten by few non-venomous snakes, while I was learning to handle them, 😊 blue chequered keellback(दिवड) 2 times, while wolf snake (कवड्या), trinket, buff stripped keelback (नानेटी) each once, bit me. First time I was learning from experts, to catch a lizard (सरडा), it too bit me. 🦎 All these bites were in less than 3 years time, while I was a teenager and may be had just hit 20.  As a result, my visit to our GP doctor to get anti-tetanus injections were periodic and regular.  Everytime I went to this Doctor Aunty, she would scold me and warn me not to play with such things.  I always laughed and told her, ...
