The Buck Stops Here

Leading Indian scientists have got together to oppose the statement of junior education minister Satyapal Singh that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution did not have scientific basis. There is outrage among the scientific community at Mr Singh's statements. He had said, "Darwin's theory (of evolution) is scientifically wrong. It needs to change in school and college curriculum. Since the man is seen on Earth he has always been a man." Leading Indian scientists say that it is retrograde to remove the teaching of the theory of evolution. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: is questioning Darwin's theory healthy or dangerous?

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has decided to install close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in all state government school classrooms, a move that has apparently been triggered by some recent incidents of violence against children in school premises in and around Delhi. Today, in Lucknow, the principal of a school was arrested after a class 1 student was attacked allegedly by a class 6 student. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: how can we make our schools safer? Are CCTVs the answer? Does this measure ensure student safety or is it a gross violation of privacy?

The government's decision to offer orange-coloured passports for economically weaker and less educated citizens has resulted in a lot of protests. There are also concerns on the decision to remove the last page of the passport. The last page contains proof of address, names of spouse, parents and other details. But it's the new orange-coloured passports that some say is blatantly unjustified and discriminatory. The government, though, feels the move was necessary to protect some of India's most vulnerable citizens when they travel abroad. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is the new orange-coloured passport discriminatory? Is this part of some sort of new apartheid as some political leaders have alleged?
