To deal with the problem of shortage of food for the ever-rising population, the scientists manipulated the genes of plants, giving birth to the concept of genetically modified (GM) crops and seeds and the transgenic method of farming, which was seen as the saviour to meet the requirements of time. This technological advancement was soon encashed by the eagled-eyed MNCs, well anticipating the amount of profit the GM crops and seeds can earn them. Transgenic farming saw a full-fledged growth since 1982 with the production of antibiotic- resistant tobacco plant.
The issue of rising corpocracy in relation to GM crops has become debatable both at national and international fora. The ‘depicted charisma’ of transgenic farming by the MNCs has made competent authorities turn blind eye of its impact on environment.
This paper analyses the implications that flows from the rise of GM food. Taking a brief look into the history of GMOs in Chapter I, this paper proceeds to give a glimpse of a number of international rules/regulation/codex attempting to regulate the GMOs in the absence of a specific international instrument dedicated to GMOs under Chapter II, whereas Chapter III discusses how the Indian government has tried to tackle with the issue of GMOs by providing rules, further drawing the comparison of how much India has tried to incorporate the international standards with respect to the same. The role of MNCs and effect of GM seeds on farmers is dealt in Chapter IV. Discussing the environmental impacts of transgenic farming under Chapter V, the authors have summed up the paper while quickly looking into the comparison between transgenic and traditional methods of farming under Chapter VI which is Conclusion.

radical, often violent, revolutionary communist groups that were born out of the Sino-soviet in Indian Communist Movement. It was initially started with a rebel by a group of people against the local landlords, as a peasant was bashed by the local landlords over land dispute.. The objective of the rebellion was, “Rightful redistribution of land to the working peasants.” The Naxalite movement is not principally a rural, agrarian problem as the doctrine of the Naxalites argues, but is a problem of the leading edge of the urban intelligentsia. Now naxalisim is one of the biggest security problem faced by India. Naxalisim not only affects the internal security but it also affects the external security. This paper aims to study the Naxalite movement in India and the problems faced by the Naxalites. The object of this research paper is to identify the root causes of the Naxalite movement in India and mode of operation identified to tackle its existence. The government of India had made certain provisions to stop the entry of large number of people and to rehabilitate the affected population but the main problem lies in the implementation of these provisions so in this study we try to focus on the solutions and how these provisions can be conveyed to the isolated mass in a substantiated way. This paper also focuses on the the naxal tactics and strategies and the suitable measures that should be taken by the government to abolish the existence of naxalism in India. It also speaks about the naxal’s as well as government’s point of view. It furthermore emphasizes on the evolution of the naxalism in India for the purpose of understanding the reason of its present domain and to tackle the problem faced by the Naxalites. A few keywords in this paper can be seen as ‘naxalism’, ‘rightful redistribution’, ‘ideology’, ‘revolution’, ‘urban intelligentsia’, ‘India’.

The world health organization (WHO) has observed that over 70 percent of all human ailments are influenced by environment deterioration. The industries are the sources of hazardous emissions and effluents. The use of chemicals insecticides and pesticides in agriculture also leaves dangerous residues. Transport, whether by land or water or air contaminate the environment. Public health infrastructure- sewage, garbage and drainage- has a detrimental impact on the environment. The food we eat, the water we drink, and the house we live in are not free from contaminants, affecting our health and causing a spectrum of ailments.
The judiciary to fulfill its constitutional obligations was and is always prepared to issue ‘appropriate’ orders, directions and writs against those people who cause environmental pollution and ecological imbalance. This is evident from a plethora of cases decided by it starting from the Ratlam municipality case . This paper aims to bring attention to the evolution of Environmental laws through judicial activism and precedents since then through various case laws which raised questions of laws pertaining to the same. When the duty of court has been invoked to uphold the resources of the state as part of their functioning, various interpretation and implementation of environmental laws have come into picture. This paper emphasizes on the Principles and Doctrine propounded by Indian Judiciary. Few of them are Principle of absolute liability evolves in the case of M.C. Mehta v. Union of India , Polluter pays principle in the case of Indian council for enviro-Legal Action v. Union of India , and many more. The method of research is doctrinal in nature as it deals with pre-existing documents and from recent resources including various landmark judgments.

This paper tries to locate how the recent trend undertaken by various state governments across the country’s landscape to rename cities, iconic places and the practice of erecting statues of stalwarts with political mileage has been perceived by people across the country. The paper also tries to find out how these changes have had an impact or consequence on the lives of people residing in a particular place where the change has taken place. On analyzing the responses collected through an online questionnaire the paper concludes that most of the respondents perceive these measures as ineffective in reviving India’s past glory but rather as a potential source of harm to the society.
