Consequence of environmental plunder


1. What are the main reasons for being concerned about environmental degradation in India?

          It is a true fact that the destruction of natural world would surely affect the development for any kind. Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze identified three reasons causing serious concern. First, development of an area rather slows down the qualitative improvement due to environmental degradation. Secondly, it hinders sustainable progress. Thirdly, the unequal distribution of natural resources hampers the underprivileged the most.

2. Discuss any one of the ways in which environmental plunder can cause harm to development. (2007)

          Thoughtless exploitation of natural resources can not bring greater economic prosperity. For example, the massive deforestation has derived the local people of their traditional livelihood. In Kalahandi, therefore, seasonal or permanent migration and chronic cases of starvation become obvious.

3. Show how environmental decline hinders sustainable development. (2008)

          Sustainable development would be possible when a balance would come in the world of environment. In Delhi the level of air pollution increases more than WHO standards but he rapid increasing of the automobiles remains unaffected. Moreover, the excessive exploitation of the groundwater by privileged farmers in large part of India hampers the sustainable development.

4. What is ‘Disguised violence’?  Write down the consequences of it.

          Environmental plunder is entitled as ‘disguised violence’ as it slowly but surely poisons the lives and livelihood indirectly. Those who are privileged make their fortune by means of hidden process. Can owners cause pollution, congestion, noise and accidents; the poor suffer the most. The privileged farmers exploit excessively ground water level depriving the poor farmers.

5.  How does environmental plunder affects the basic rights of the poor people?
          In many cases environmental plunder slowly but surely poisons the lives and livelihood of the poor. Those who are privileged make their fortune by means of hidden process. Can owners cause pollution, congestion, noise and accidents; the poor suffer the most. The privileged farmers exploit excessively ground water level depriving the poor farmers. Even Narmada dam project is an infringement of distributive justice.

6.  How the infringed of distributive justice involves and aspect of disguised manslaughter?

          In Indian socio-economic situation distributive justice is nothing but a brown study. In many cases environmental plunder slowly but surely poisons the lives and livelihood of the poor. Those who are privileged make their fortune by means of hidden process. Can owners cause pollution, congestion, noise and accidents; the poor suffer the most. The privileged farmers exploit excessively ground water level depriving the poor farmers. Even Narmada dam project is an infringement of distributive justice.

7. How is Narmada dam project an infringed of distributive justice?

          A lot of hot controversies regarding the construction of the Narmada dam had risen as it does not ensure equitable distribution of water resources. As a result of this project thousands of poor people will be rendered homeless without their consent or adequate compensation. They will be deprived of their water resources. Only some large farmers will get benefit form the dam.

PRE-SHAKESPEREAN DRAMA OR THE UNIVERSITY WITS:

Image
      The Pre-Shakespearean dramatists are known as the ‘ University Wits’ . They are so called as nearly all of them were closely associated with oxford and Cambridge University . As we know the condition of the drama that preceded them was precarious and chaotic; - “The classicists had form, but not fire; the popular dramatists had interest, but little sense of form”. They tried and were able to unite the classical conception of the drama and enthusiasm and favour of the popular dramatists. They were usually actors and dramatists. Their training began as actors. They revised old plays and finally became independent writers. They all were more or less acquainted with each other, and most of them led irregular Bohemian lives. Their plays had several features in common. Albert sums up- (a)            There was a fondness for heroic themes , such as the lives of great figures like Mohammed and Tam...

Banalata Sen an analysis

Banalata Sen was a recurrent theme in Jibanananda's creation with its richtapestry of imagery. Was there a Banalata Sen? There is no documentation thatthere was indeed someone by that name in his real life. Expressions suggestingthe end of time, and the use of words like "darkness remains" suggest end oflife themes, that were common in Jibanananda's works related to Banalata Sen,but nothing beyond this is hinted at in these works. Banalata Sen has found her stands with the best of the lady characters of the world. She has been ordained with the characters of the solitary reaper, Lucy, Maria, Phenomenal women and others. Immortal poets like Herman Goering and William Butler Yeats stands as the primal inspiration to the idea of this woman. She stands as a hope, a ray of light among the abyss of darkness, a speck of treasure of happiness in the pool of emptiness. She is the humanity personified; Banalata is the direction of love that resides in the romanticism...

James-I ascended the throne in 1603. * The early decades of the 17 th century may be called the age of transition. By this time the Renaissance exuberance and optimism are succeeded by a mood of disillusion . First , there were series of plots to assassinate Elizabeth. There was no heir to the throne. Apprehension of civil war and intervention of foreign powers gripped the mind of the people. The situation reached its crisis in the rebellion of Essex on February 1, 1601 and his execution. A feeling of uncertainty was sharpened with the accession of James I.   * Court standards were lowered. Uncertainty and fears increased with the constant threats to the power of James. The Jesuits plotted against James constantly. * Elizabeth was popular and tactful. She compromised in matters of religion. James was u...
