The insensitivity of officialdom to manual scavenging can be seen from the length of time it took India to formally ban the practice. The Constitution abolished untouchability once and for all in 1950. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, which prescribed punishments for untouchability, followed in 1955, and The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act came in 1989. _________________________. The Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act came into force 46 years after Independence.

The MGNREGA had proved its critics wrong in important ways. It had raised the earning capacity of the rural workforce. __________________________.In fact, the Act was seen as being responsible for shielding large parts of rural India from the ill-effects of the economic downturn. Even in places where the Act was not implemented very well, it had facilitated the capacity of workers to demand minimum wages from all employers, including feudal landlords and contractors. People asserted their right to work on an MGNREGA work site, rather than accept a lower wage. In fact, it is now clear that even more than the bogey of budgetary collapse, it is the impact on the availability of cheap labour that is the concern of the powers that influence policy.

The melting Siachen glacier is another border-transcending issue. After the devastating floods in Pakistan this year, there is much that India and Pakistan can share on managing river systems. _______________________________. Water Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf acknowledged that India had addressed all Pakistan’s concerns like the Nimmo Bazgo and Chutak hydel projects on the Indus and Uri-II on the Jhelum, even as the third dispute, over the Kishanganga project was headed for international arbitration. The message is clear. While talks break down frequently on terror and strategic issues, dialogue on environment can ‘flow’ more naturally to a resolution. To that end, South Block must look at ways of collaborating on research, encourage scientist exchanges and build capacity for decades to come, opening new avenues of engagement with each of India’s neighbours.

The Liberhan Commission inquiring into the December 6, 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid was amateurish on many counts. However, it established one thing conclusively. ________________________.Its protagonists dragged out an issue that had been dead for decades, which had no resonance whatever with the local people, pouring so much destructive energy into it that for all outward appearances it became a throbbing, pulsating mass movement with a huge national following.

_________________________. The Union government, after a meeting with Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel announced a list of measures to arrest the sharp decline in the currency, which has lost about 12% of its value since the beginning of the year. These include steps to curb the import of non-essential goods and encourage the export of domestic goods, which will help in addressing the country’s burgeoning current account deficit that hit a five-year high in July. Other steps such as removing restrictions on foreign portfolio investments and encouraging Indian borrowers to issue rupee-denominated ‘masala bonds’ were also announced to facilitate the inflow of dollars and de-risk the economy from fluctuations in the exchange rate.
