Why in news : Recently we have seen that  a girl was gang raped/raped in   RG Kar medical college of Kolkata . It was a heinous crime against a girl . We the Indians always worship our deity in the form of Shakti Swaroopa goddesses like Devi durga ji , Parvati ji etc. But when it comes to the security of our women we always shut our mouth . The persons who stand for any women or girl are often criticized by many other type of people.

Are women safe in world? : Generally our country is considered as the Rape country of the world but many nations around the world is facing a very huge problem regarding this concern. Let’s understand it by some examples :

·      Sweden which is known as one of the most peaceful country of the world is facing the violence and sexual harassment against women very badly . In 2020 it has reported about 8000 rape cases while if we talk about rate of rapes in the Europe… Sweden becomes first in this list . It is 90 on per 100000 persons.

·      About 20 percent of women of USA are facing the sexual harassment.

·      A report on sexual harassment by WHO says that 1 in every 3 girl/women in the world are facing the sexual harassment.

·      South Africa in 2020-21 has seen about 40000 rape cases .

And many other countries which are developed are facing a huge problem regarding this concern.

What may be the reason behind it ? :  The crime against a woman is always said to be crime against humanity.  There are many cause related to these cases . Let us explore some of them …..

·      Lesson given by the parents : In our Bharat the girls are always taught to be submissive . It is also seen that the parents always try to feel their child girls that they are too much sensitive with respect to the boys of the society.  They never teach their girl child to be courageous. This becomes a huge problem for the girls in future .

·      Patriarchal society: Our society has always shown that the male always dominate over the female in every cases . The society always demoralizes  to our girls in these cases . Due to which they are unable to learn those things which are common to both genders . Many cases are in the society where the girls are never kept equal as like boys in family or society.

Objectification of girls : Our cruel society has always considered to our women or the girls as an object.  The Objectification is always wrong for our society .

There are many other problems like non- sensitivization of girls the discrimination from birthplace to workplace , also on the basis of caste , religion , class always happened in our society.

A report published by National Crime Record Bureau in 2022 shows that there are 450000 cases in Bharat which are against the women violence. 

Many steps regarding safety of women has been taken . Let us discuss some of them …

Vishakha guidelines : In the case of Vishakha vs the state of Rajasthan   Supreme court made a guidelines regarding this . It is popularly known as Vishakha guidelines.  In this a important decisions was taken regarding sexual harassment of women at workplace or any other place .

Justice verma committee : This committee was made after  A very heinous rape case o which is also known as NIRBHAYA CASE OF 2012 . This committee submitted it’s report in 2013 and asked government to make strict laws for sexual harassment and on women violence also .

Bhartiya nagrik samhita 2023  has also made strict laws for security of  women  from the Rape case . Section 64 and 65 of bns gives strict punishment after the Rape of a women.

Recently government of west Bengal has came with a law known as APRAJITA women and child act 2024 . In this act there is a strong punishment given to accuse within 21 days.

There are several other judgements regarding safety of women.

How our judiciary and administration is responsible? : In Bharat a proverb is generally said for out judiciary that Justice delayed is Justice denied. The courts in Bharat has became a secure places for the peoples who have done any type of crime . Although we believe in our system but we are not satisfied by the functioning of the system . A case generally takes 4 to 5 years  to complete it .

Our administration  is very lazy in taking action against the person who has done the crime . They became Active in only two cases. First when any side of that case gives them a huge amount of money in the form of bribe and second when there is an strict order from their seniors and political parties.

Conclusion: I have nothing more to say in this part . But our society must respect the feelings of every girl as well as women . And also the women or girl must respect the emotions of their parents as well as the society . It’s request to every male persons that create your personality so big that a girl or women always feels safe when she is with you . And in the last I want to say that ….

यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवता:।

यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफला: क्रिया:।

Where Women are honoured, divinity blossoms there, and where ever women are dishonoured, all action no matter how noble it may be, remains unfruitful.

Why in the news?

Recently, the Central Government directed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to withdraw the advertisement seeking lateral recruitment for senior basic posts.

Why Centre Drops Lateral Entry Plan

 The opposition criticized the policy because it did not provide for reservation for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Castes (OBC).

Some NDA allies, such as Janata Dal (United) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) also opposed the move.

Lateral entry in India has sparked controversy due to its exclusion of reservation requirements for SCs, STs, OBCs, and EWS, leading to accusations of undermining social justice and the Constitution.

This has fueled concerns about increased casual and contractual recruitment, decreased posts for marginalized communities, and favoritism towards certain groups.

The Issue has further intensified with the recent controversy surrounding the recruitment of assistant teachers in Uttar Pradesh, adding to the broader debate on reservation policies.

About:

Origin and Application:

The Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC), which was founded in 2005, firmly supported the notion of lateral entrance when it was originally presented under the 2004–09 law. Later, in 2017, NITI Aayog suggested bringing in knowledge and new viewpoints.

The induction of middle and senior management personnel in the central government was proposed by the Sectoral Group of Secretaries (SGoS) on Governance and NITI Aayog in their 3-year Action Agenda of 2017.

Eligibility:

Those with experience in the appropriate domains and domain knowledge from the commercial sector, state governments, autonomous bodies, or public sector initiatives are welcome to apply for these roles.

The selection criteria usually prioritize subject matter expertise and professional accomplishment.

Reservation in Lateral Entry:

The “13-point roster” guideline has prevented Lateral entries from being included in the reservation system.

A candidate’s placement on a list of job opportunities is determined by applying the “13-point roster” policy, which uses a fraction of one hundred to calculate the candidate’s group quota percentage (SC, ST, OBC, and EWS).

Since every lateral entry position is regarded as a “Single Post,” these appointments can be made without according to reservation standards because the reservation system does not apply to them.

For each department, 45 positions have been separately posted in the current recruitment round. Reservations would be in place, with special allocations for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS candidates if they were to be viewed as a single category.

Process of Lateral Entry Recruitment

Selection process – by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

The UPSC Is requested by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) to handle the lateral entrance selection procedure.

UPSC invites online applications

Submission of application- the UPSC conducts interviews of the shortlisted candidates.

Recommendation of the list of selected candidates to the DoPT.

The government then appoints the suggested candidates, usually for a term of three to five years.

Recommendations of ARC on Lateral Entry scheme :

First Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) (1966):

It was founded with the goal of professionalizing and overhauling personnel management and training within the public services, and Morarji Desai served as its chairman.

Even while it did not openly support lateral entry, it set the stage for addressing the demand for specialized knowledge in the bureaucracy.

Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) (2005):

 It suggested changes to increase the efficiency, openness, and citizen-friendliness of the Indian administrative system.

The ARC highlighted the necessity of lateral access into higher government positions in its 10^th Report, as it can facilitate the introduction of specialized knowledge and abilities that may not always be found in regular civil services.

It suggested hiring experts from the business world, academic institutions, and government projects to build a talent pool for contract or temporary positions.

The ARC also emphasized integrating lateral entrants while maintaining public service integrity and suggested a transparent, merit-based selection process.

Need for Lateral Entry

Shortage of officers: There is a shortage of 22.48% or 1,510 officers for IAS cadre: DoPT

There is a 2,418 officer deficit in the Indian Police Service (IPS) and the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).

Domain Expertise:

Domain expertise from the private sector can be brought into the central administration through lateral entry.

This can boost productivity and foster competition in the delivery of governance.

Pros of Lateral Entry :

Specialized experience and Expertise: As governance grows more complicated, lateral entry enables the government to hire specialists with experience in fields like technology, management, and finance, filling in knowledge gaps that generalist civil servants might not have.

Innovation and Reforms: By contributing their rich expertise from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, or other organizations, lateral recruiters can assist improve and changing administrative procedures and governance.

Closing the Gap:

Data from the Department of Personnel and Training indicate that there is a 1500 IAS officer shortage. Lateral entry may be useful in bridging this gap.

Bringing about a Change in Work Culture:

 It will assist in changing the government sector’s work culture, which is criticized for its rule-book bureaucracy, status quo, and red tape.

Active government:

The government is evolving into a multi-actor, participatory endeavor in the modern era. Through lateral entry, stakeholders like non-profits and the corporate sector can get involved in the governance process.

Cons of Lateral Entry :

Short Tenure:

The three-year term that the Central government has established for joint secretaries is insufficient for newcomers to completely adjust to the intricate governance structures and make significant contributions.

Preserving Objectivity and Neutrality: Including people from different backgrounds may make it more difficult to remain impartial and objective because of possible conflicts of interest and questions about impartiality, particularly if new hires have ties to interest groups or private businesses.

Effect on the Morale of Permanent Officers: The growing number of lateral hires may cause a gulf between them and permanent staff members, which could be detrimental to career bureaucrats’ morale.

Possible Dilution of Merit-Based Recruiting: The civil services’ foundational merit-based recruiting system may be weakened by lateral entry. It could give the impression that the selection process is biased or nepotistic if it is not carried out transparently.

Outsider Syndrome: Because they are apprehensive about upsetting the status quo and causing chaos, traditional bureaucrats may be hostile to lateral entrants and see them as outsiders.

Experience Requirement for Senior Positions: Under the permanent system, IAS officers who have served for 17 years—typically at an age of 45—are promoted to the joint secretary level, where they stay for 10 years.

The best prospects may be discouraged from joining if lateral entrants are subject to similar experience criteria since they often reach their professional zenith in the private sector at that age.

Lateral entry in other countries

Several countries, including the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Belgium, have implemented lateral entry systems, allowing movement between government and private sector roles.

This “revolving door” model, while offering benefits like specialized expertise, faces criticism for potential conflicts of interest and undue influence, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals, energy, and defense.

Concerns about this practice extend to various countries, with a particular focus on the energy and fossil fuel sector.

The Way Ahead

a.  Assure Transparency: Prevent suspicions of bias or favoritism by upholding an open, merit-based selection procedure for lateral hires that concentrates on pertinent knowledge, experience, and abilities.

The UK Civil Service Fast Stream program, which prioritizes applicants with specialized skills and knowledge, hires people straight into the civil service at various levels.

Training of Lateral Entries:

It is necessary to provide a comprehensive training program that enables people entering the civil service from the private sector to comprehend the intricate nature of work in government.

Clearly defined roles and expectations:

To ensure that contributions are in line with organizational objectives, clearly define roles, responsibilities, and expectations. You should also set up certain performance metrics and targets.

Reducing the Age Barrier:

 Candidates as young as 35 should be eligible to apply for joint secretary roles to draw in top talent. Economists like Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Bimal Jalan used to return from lucrative abroad assignments since they reached high positions earlier in life.

In summary

Like competition in any area, lateral entry has its advantages, but to guarantee that it leads to positive change, entry requirements, job roles, staffing levels, and training must be carefully considered. In addition, extensive administrative improvements require changes to the conventional seniority-based structure.

The December 1999 major terrorist attack known as the Kandahar hijacking, or IC-814 hijacking, took place. The December 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC-814, sometimes referred to as the Kandahar hijacking, happened when the plane was traveling from Kathmandu, Nepal. It was a significant act of terrorism. Indian Airlines Flight IC-814 was taken over by five armed terrorists from the militant organization Harkat-ul-Mujahideen when it was traveling from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Delhi, India. The kidnapping took place over a few days and resulted in a heated standoff that was resolved in the Taliban-controlled city of Kandahar, Afghanistan.

75.1) Hijack Timeline

75.2) Demands

75.3) Conclusion

1. Hijacking: Shortly after it entered Indian airspace on December 24, 1999, an Airbus A300 carrying 176 passengers and crew was taken over. After the hijackers forced the jet to land in Amritsar, India, it took off again without being properly intercepted because of delays and miscommunication.

2. Journey to Kandahar: Before arriving in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the hijacked aircraft stopped in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Lahore, Pakistan. 27 passengers were freed in Dubai; one of them, Rupin Katyal, had been stabbed by the hijackers and was seriously hurt.

3. Demands: Maulana Masood Azhar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar are three extremists who are detained in India; the hijackers wanted their freedom. They also wanted the body of a militant who was killed returned, along with $200 million in cash.

4. Negotiations: Under the direction of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Indian government held vigorous talks with the hijackers. Although they served as middlemen, the Taliban, who at the time had control of Kandahar, were widely believed to be supporting the hijackers.

5. Resolution: Following seven days of talks, the Indian government consented to the three militants' release in exchange for the passengers' safe return. After the hostages were liberated on December 31, 1999, the insurgents were transported by air to Kandahar.

6. Aftermath: There were major consequences following the attack, and the hijackers were permitted to flee. One of the terrorists who was freed, Maulana Masood Azhar, went on to form the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, which carried out several strikes in India, including the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001. The IC-814 hijacking altered how such emergencies were handled and revealed weaknesses in Indian security.

The hijacking of IC-814 is still regarded as one of the scariest incidents in Indian aviation and counterterrorism history, emphasizing the difficult tasks involved in responding to terrorist demands.

In an alarming and heartbreaking incident, a minor girl was allegedly gang-raped inside a bus in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. This horrifying crime marks the third gang rape in the state within a month, raising serious concerns about the safety and security of women and girls in the region. The incident comes at a time when the country is already reeling from the shock of another brutal rape and murder of a medical student in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, sparking massive protests nationwide.

The Incident in Dehradun

The latest incident occurred in Dehradun, a city known for its scenic beauty and as a hub of education. The victim, a young girl, was reportedly attacked by multiple men while she was traveling inside a bus—an environment that should have been safe and secure. Instead, it became a place of unimaginable horror. The perpetrators allegedly took advantage of the situation, overpowering the minor and subjecting her to a brutal assault that has left the community in shock and disbelief.

This case, like the others before it, has sent ripples of anger and fear across the region. The fact that this is the third such incident in just a month highlights a disturbing pattern of sexual violence that cannot be ignored.

A Disturbing Trend: Rising Cases of Gang Rape

The series of gang rapes in Uttarakhand, including the recent case in Dehradun, reflects a growing crisis that demands urgent attention. Despite stricter laws and increased awareness, sexual violence continues to plague the country, with women and girls being the primary victims.

The frequency of these attacks in Uttarakhand, a state that was once considered relatively safe, is particularly alarming. It points to a breakdown in law and order and raises questions about the effectiveness of the measures in place to protect vulnerable individuals. The fact that such heinous crimes are being committed in public spaces, like buses, where people should feel secure, underscores the need for immediate action.

National Outrage and Protests

The Dehradun gang rape has occurred at a time when India is already witnessing widespread protests in response to the horrific rape and murder of a young medical student in Kolkata. The brutality of that crime, and the subsequent discovery of the victim’s body, has ignited nationwide outrage, with citizens taking to the streets to demand justice and better protection for women.

The protests are not just about individual cases—they are a collective cry for systemic change. People across the country are demanding that the government take stronger action to prevent such crimes, ensure swift justice for the victims, and create a safer environment for all.

The Dehradun case has only added fuel to this fire, with activists, students, and citizens calling for immediate and harsh punishment for the perpetrators. The anger is palpable, and the demand for justice is louder than ever.

The Need for Systemic Change

The recent spate of gang rapes in Uttarakhand and other parts of the country highlights the urgent need for systemic changes to address sexual violence. While laws exist to punish such crimes, their enforcement often falls short. Delays in the judicial process, societal stigma, and the lack of support for victims are just some of the issues that need to be addressed.

There is a pressing need for a comprehensive approach that includes not only stricter enforcement of laws but also widespread education and awareness campaigns. Communities must be educated about the importance of gender equality, respect, and the consequences of sexual violence. Schools, colleges, and workplaces should play an active role in promoting these values.

Moreover, the safety of public spaces, including transport services, must be prioritized. Installing CCTV cameras, conducting regular checks, and ensuring the presence of security personnel are steps that can help deter such crimes. Additionally, there must be a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of sexual harassment or violence, with perpetrators being brought to justice swiftly and decisively.

Conclusion

The alleged gang rape of a minor girl in Dehradun is a grim reminder of the deep-rooted issues that continue to plague our society. It is a wake-up call that we cannot afford to ignore. The rising number of such incidents in Uttarakhand and across the country demands urgent action from the government, law enforcement agencies, and society at large.

We must stand united in our demand for justice, not just for the victims of these heinous crimes but for all women and girls who live in fear of such violence. It is time for real, meaningful change—one that ensures that no one has to endure the horrors of sexual violence ever again. As we continue to protest and demand accountability, we must also work towards creating a society that values and protects the dignity and safety of every individual.

 73.1) Introduction:

    On August 9, 2024, a second-year postgraduate trainee (PGT) doctor at R. G. Kar Medical College in Kolkata was found dead in a seminar hall on the college campus. The autopsy confirmed that she had been raped and murdered, leading to widespread outrage and nationwide protests. Let us delve into the details of this horrific crime and the subsequent outcry for justice.

73.2) The Incident:

      The victim, known by the pseudonym “Abhaya," was found dead on the college campus. Autopsy results confirmed sexual assault and murder. The brutality of the crime left everyone stunned, and questions arose about safety measures within educational institutions.

73.3) Arrest and Investigation:

Prompt action by the police led to the arrest of Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer. His Bluetooth headset, found at the crime scene, linked him to the incident. However, dissatisfaction with the initial investigation prompted the Calcutta High Court to transfer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The medical fraternity demanded justice and better security protocols.

73.4) Nationwide Outrage:

Abhaya’s tragic fate ignited nationwide outrage. Medical professionals, students, and concerned citizens rallied for justice. Protests, candlelight vigils, and social media campaigns emphasized the need for safer campuses and stricter laws against violence.

73.5) Calls for Reform:

1. Safety Measures: The incident underscored the urgency of improving security on college premises. Better lighting, surveillance, and access control became focal points for discussion.

2. Legal Reforms: Activists and legal experts advocated for specialized courts to handle cases involving healthcare workers. They also called for mandatory security personnel at hospitals and awareness programs to sensitize the public.

3. Gender Sensitization: Abhaya’s case highlighted the importance of gender sensitization. Educational institutions began organizing workshops to promote respectful behavior and bystander intervention.

73.6) Conclusion:

   The 2024 R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital Rape and Murder Case serves as a grim reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by women and healthcare professionals. It compels us to reflect on our collective responsibility to create a safer society—one where justice prevails, and no one lives in fear.

 73.1) Why in the news? 

Recently, the honorable Supreme Court of India has given an important verdict regarding SC/ST reservation.  The Supreme Court has ordered that sub-classification can be done among SC/ST for quotas.

Image Source

73.2) Reservation -need of it and article related to it :

Reservation in Bharat is all about reserving access to seats in government jobs, educational institutions, and even legislatures to certain sections of the population. The reservation is generally given for the progress of Backward-class people. If we talk about the context of the topic, Article 341 is related to the scheduled caste reservation. 

Article 341-1: The President of India may notify the caste of any state or Union territory ( by the consultation of the governor) deemed to be a Scheduled caste in relation to that state or Union territory.

2: Parliament may make the law on the above notification issued by the President.

73.3) Some important decisions by the judiciary on the case of SC/ST reservation:

73.3.1) POLICY OF PUNJAB GOVERNMENT:

In 1975, the government of Punjab came up with the policy to distribute the SC quota seat between the two communities, i.e., Valmiki Majhabi Sikhs and other SC castes. This rule was regulated for 30 years.  In 2006, this policy was rejected by the High Court of Punjab and Chandigarh. After the 2006 verdict, the Punjab government came again with a new reservation quota policy for these two groups. But again, it was rejected by the High Court in 2010. This verdict was reached in the Supreme Court, in which the Punjab government suggested the Supreme Court for sub-categorization of Scheduled caste reservations like creamy and non-creamy layers in OBC castes.

73.3.2) Indira Sawhney and others versus Union of India:

    This case is popularly known as  MANDAL VERDICT. This was a landmark case public interest litigation case in 1992 that challenged the government’s decision to implement the Mandal Commission's recommendations for reservation for socially and economically Backward classes (SEBCs). This case was heard by nine judges on the constitutional bench of the Supreme Court.  Some important points regarding this case are mentioned below:

     1) The state’s power is limited, and the quota can’t exceed 50 %.

     2) The concept of SOCIAL BACKWARDNESS was emphasized, and 11 indicators were established to determine backwardness.

     3) The concept of the creamy layer was introduced, which was only applied to other Backward classes.

     73.3.3) EV CHINNAYYA VS STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (2004):

      No subcategorization is permitted in Scheduled caste reservations because it ignores the right to equality.

     73.3.4) Recent verdict:

      In  2020, a constitutional bench of 5 judges of the Supreme Court started rethinking the verdict of EV Chinnayya vs State of Andhra Pradesh.  After some time, a bench of seven judges was established, which was headed by the honorable CJI. After listening to all the sides of this case, the decision was kept safe in January 2024. Here are the some important points of this verdict are given below :

     1) Sub quota is not against the right of equality.

    2) State government can subcategorize in SC/ ST reservation quota. So that the categories that require reservations will be more profitable.

    3) The decision was passed by 7 Judges by 6:1. The 6 judges who were in favor are mentioned below: JUSTICE PANKAJ MITTHAL, JUSTICE VIKRAM NAATH, JUSTICE BR GAVAI, JUSTICE MANOJ MISHRA, JUSTICE SC SHARMA. There was only one judge who opposed the decision, JUSTICE BELA M.  TRIVEDI. She said that Article 142 cannot be used for the formation of a new building. She supported EV CHINNAYYA S STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH's decision.  She also said that supporting subcategorization is just like disturbing articles 341-2.

     There are  two important conditions regarding the sub-categorization:

    1) The one particular caste that comes under the Scheduled caste reservation cannot get a 100 percent quota.

      2) There must be perfect data before the subcategorization of that caste.

    Also, this decision of the Supreme Court is only given for government jobs. There is no statement regarding admission to educational institutions and seats in parliament.

Impact of recent verdict:

Political parties will play a victim card to take all the votes of subcategories of Scheduled castes. Now, in the election, parties will promise to give them reservations if the public will vote for them.

There will be a loss to those political parties which have fixed Dalit vote banks. The impact will be more seen in the states where the population of Scheduled caste is more than 15 percent.

Also, the subcategorization will end the dominance of a particular caste in the Scheduled caste.

Reaction of the political parties :

The majority of political parties, like LJP, BSP, BHIM ARMY, TDP, JDU, etc., have openly opposed the decision of the Supreme Court.  They called for an open protest on the 21st of August and named it BHARAT BANDH.

73.4) Conclusion:

This verdict has been in the Supreme Court since 2020. The decision on subcategorization was made after the proper discussion.  We cannot raise questions on the honorable Supreme Court.  Social media is trending with #samvidhaan_bachao. The people are demanding the resignation of CJI. This decision will definitely increase the number of public interest litigation cases from many states regarding the misuse of this decision.

Here the festival of games is going to start. The Olympic games, which were held in the capital city of France, are ready to host athletes from 196 nations. These 196 countries will be represented by about 10,700 athletes in 32 games. Now it’s time to talk something about our Bharat and its players.

Image Source

71.1) Indians in the Paris:

The Indian Olympic Committee is going to Paris with 118 athletes. The chef-de-mission of the Indian diaspora is the 2012 Olympic Games bronze medal winner, Gagan Narang. Gagan has replaced the female boxer and legend M.C. Marycom. She has denied it due to personal reasons. The Pursala Venkata Sindhu, popular as PV Sindhu and A. Sharath Kamal, will be our flag bearers. In the Olympics, the gold medal is very few for our players since the free India has been participating in this game. The first individual medal, which was bronze, was won by the great wrestler K D Jadhav in the year 1952, while the field hockey team won the gold medal in the 1948 Olympics. If we talk about the individual gold medals, we can count it on our fingertips. Only Abhinav Bindra (in shooting) and Neeraj Chopra (in javelin throw) have won the gold for India. Every country in the world sends its best players to the Olympics,  so Bharat is also doing so. Being an Indian, we expect that the color of the medals of our athletes will be golden color, and every athlete participating in the Olympics will come with hoisting our Tiranga. Especially we are hoping that Neeraj Chopra and his group will again come with gold. Our badminton team is currently playing very sincerely so we can also look for gold towards them. Players of other games, like wrestling, shooting, hockey, fencing, running, etc., will also make us proud.

71.2) History of Olympic Games:

The Olympic games are played mainly in two seasons i.e. summer and winter. Since the players and countries participating in the Winter Olympics are very few in number, the Summer Olympics is very famous among all the countries.  The summer Olympics was started in Athens, Greece, in the year 1896. Pierre de Coubertin is known as the father of the summer Olympics.  He made a very important contribution in starting these games. The 33^rd edition of the Olympic Games is to be held in Paris, will start on 26 July 2024, and will come to an end on 11 August 2024. This time, 32 games will be played, out of which 28 are core games (played in previous Olympics) while four new games, i.e. surfing, sport climbing, breaking, and skateboarding.  These games will be played in 329 events. The inauguration of the Paris Olympics will be held on the bank of the Sean River in Paris. 

71.3) Benefits of hosting these games:

When we see these games, a genuine question arises in our mind: Why does any country want to host these games? The host country faced an economic problem after the games came to an end. But why does every big nation want to host it?
The reason behind the hosting is that the country represents the whole world at that time. Also, the chances of tourism, FDI inflow, and sponsors also show interest in that country. The gaming culture among the youth of that country rises very sharply, and the country gets funding easily from many countries and organizations.

71.4) Conclusion:

The world is running on hopes and expectations. These hopes always run in the minds of those people who have a little bit of interest in any type of game. We, the Indians, were always a great supporter of promoting and playing the games. We have great expectations with our athletes participating in games like javelin throw, badminton, field hockey, chess, tennis, table tennis, marathon, cycling, weightlifting,  boxing, etc. The 118  players participating are not only representing their town or city, but they are representing Bharat on such a big stage. We must have to support every Indian player participating in any game. And the cheers of INDIA …..INDIA  never be stopped.
