After a year of farmers’ protests, the government will repeal the three farm laws

ON NOVEMBER 19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Centre will repeal the three controversial farm laws that were passed in Parliament in September 2020. The Modi government, before the announcement, had maintained a confrontational stance claiming that the farmer groups at the helm of the protest did not represent the “real” farmers.
“Despite our best intention to support our farmers, especially the small farmers, we could not take them into confidence,” he said in an address to the country on the occasion of Gurupurab, the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. “We offered to amend the laws, even put them on hold for two years...but it is time for a new beginning. Let us not blame anyone,” he said.

Are we beyond laws of evolution?
WE AS a society are disconnecting from nature. This is a truism for the human species. But how disconnected are we from nature, from where we evolved? On the face of it, this sounds like a philosophical question. Still, if one gets to measure this, which tool to use? Miles Richardson, a professor engaged in nature connectedness studies at the School of Psychology, University of Derby, UK, has published a study that attempts to measure this widening connection between humans and nature. His finding says that human connection to nature has declined 60 per cent since 1800.
