William’s Diana Panorama ban could lead to “slow rewriting” of her story
Prince William's insistence that Princess Diana's bombshell 1995 BBC Panorama interview should "never be aired again" could lead to the "slow rewriting" of her life story, according to a royal biographer. Omid Scobie, co-author of the hit Harry and Meghan biography Finding Freedom , has expressed his concern that the suppression of Diana's own words in the 1995 interview—which she later said she had "no regrets" in doing—has seen the princess once again being "silenced" by the royal "Firm". Scobie's commentary in a recent column for Yahoo! News follows the BBC 's official apology about its conduct in handling allegations of wrongdoing in the methods used to obtain the interview with Diana. These were exposed in a review undertaken by Lord Dyson in 2021 which found BBC staff member Martin Bashir had been "deceitful" in his conduct regarding the interview. In a statement issued on July 21, after it was announced that the former nanny of Prince William and Prince … [Read more...] about William’s Diana Panorama ban could lead to “slow rewriting” of her story

Genetics company wants to bring iconic Tasmanian tiger back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences—the Dallas-based company attempting to revive the woolly mammoth—has announced that it has started working on the de-extinction of the thylacine, better known as the Tasmanian tiger. Tasmanian tigers, which were native to the Australian mainland, Tasmania and New Guinea, appeared around 4 million years ago and were the largest living carnivorous marsupial until the time of their extinction. One of Australia's most iconic species, the thylacine population declined dramatically on the mainland, likely as a result of hunting by humans and competition with the dingo, leading to its disappearance there at least 2,000 years ago, according to the Australian Museum. The species persisted on the Australian island of Tasmania—located around 150 miles to the south of the mainland—into the 20th century. But numbers also declined here as well, with persecution by European settlers, who considered it a pest, probably playing a key role, alongside other threats such as … [Read more...] about Genetics company wants to bring iconic Tasmanian tiger back from extinction

After six decades, village in Ballari district gets freedom from administrative hurdles
For Thippanamaradi village at Sandur taluk in Ballari district, the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav (75 years of India’s Independence) means more than what it does to rest of the country. For, it is true liberation from the administrative hurdles that its inhabitants had been facing for the last six decades in handling their land records. With their land records settled just a couple of days ahead of the Independence Day, these villages of the erstwhile Sandur Princely State are now gearing up to celebrate the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav with more cheers. The Sandu Princely State had 33 villages at the time of Independence and the province became a part of Indian Union after Independence.

The spectrum of law-making in independent India
In India, Parliament is the supreme law-making body. With the exceptions of items reserved unto the people — by the virtue of Fundamental Rights — and items reserved unto the States by the virtue of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, Parliament can make laws on virtually any subject within India’s territory, and, in exceptional cases, extra-territorially. The Preamble lists the objectives of the Constitution to secure for all citizens justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. Undeterred by India’s deep-seated inequalities and factionalism before and at the time of Independence, the framers of the Constitution undertook a leap of faith and envisioned a liberal, more egalitarian nation-state in the post-colonial world. Building blocks of the Nehruvian years The first government led by Jawaharlal Nehru inherited a copious body of constitutional, substantive, and procedural laws made between the early 1800s to 1947, and a trained bureaucracy to administer them. In his first … [Read more...] about The spectrum of law-making in independent India
