In the field of education, the purpose of the 42nd Amendment to the Indian Constitution appeared to be the embodiment of the wise words of Helen Keller, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”. To contextualise, prior to 1976, the power to legislate on education was solely within the ambit of the states. However, based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee, the need to evolve all-India policies was realised and the subject was shifted to the concurrent list, i.e., education was brought under the ambit of both Centre and states. This has been widely debated with a resolution for reversal of this change being moved in the Rajya Sabha by Mr. Vaiko in 2019 as well as similar demands by committees in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, formed prior to implementation of the National Education Policy, 2020 (“NEP 2020”). The issue has once again come to light in a Public Interest Litigation petition (“PIL”) filed by the Aram Seyya Virumbu Trust, before the Madras High Court which is presently pending adjudication.

This is what defines the present status of Afghanistan. As the Taliban gains control over Afghanistan, there lies a grave concern regarding the welfare of civilians of Afghanistan. Human rights breaches are increasing, especially against Afghan women and girls who fear a return to the worst days. The consequences of the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan are not mere guesses, rather interpretations from the Taliban’s rule past rule in Afghanistan, from 1996 to 2001.

Is a trigger warning a way to avoid triggering trauma or is it a term we use to overlook traumatic but very real events? Ignorance indeed is bliss but how do we tell this to a young girl being called a “harami” by her own mother; to a sixteen-year-old whose lover has been sent to fight a war for things he does not believe in; to thousands of young children who would probably never see their birth-nation again?

“The Taliban moved into the house,” Rahim Khan said. “The pretext was that they had evicted a trespasser. Hassan’s and Farzana’s murders were dismissed as a case of self-defence. No one said a word about it. Most of it was fear of the Taliban, I think. But no one was going to risk anything for a pair of Hazara servants.” 1996, The Kite Runner. |
