NDA's presidential nominee Draupadi Murmu met Union home minister Amit Shah on Thursday. If elected, 64-year-old Murmu will become the first tribal President of the country. And the second woman president after Pratibha Patil. President Ram Nath Kovind's tenure is coming to an end on July 25. And an election to fill his post will be held before that, on July 18. And we will know the name of the new President on July 21 if an election takes place at all. So how is the President of India chosen? Unlike that of MLAs and MPs, it is not a direct election. The President is elected by an electoral college. And who all are the members of this electoral college? They are from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Legislative Assemblies of the states and Legislative Assemblies of the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry. Nominated members to Rajya Sabha and state legislative councils are not part of the electoral college. The votes of electoral college members have a certain larger value. For instance, each MP's vote carries a value of 700.  In the case of MLAs, the value of vote is calculated based on the population of each state and the value differs from one state to another. In highly populated states like Uttar Pradesh, an MLA carries a vote value of 208, while less populated states like Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, the value of vote for an MLA is 8. According to the Article 55(2) of the Constitution, every elected member of the Legislative Assembly of a State shall have as many votes as there are multiples of one thousand in the quotient obtained by dividing the population of the State by the total number of the elected members of the Assembly. To win the Presidential election, the candidate has to bag over 50% of the votes. The Presidential candidate filing for the nomination has to secure signed approvals from 50 proposers and 50 seconders. The proposers and seconders could be members from the electoral college.

Introduction Time:0.10 - 2.10 आप सभी को शायद पता तो होगा ही, और नहीं पता है तो बताये देती हूँ -  चुनाव आयोग (ECI) ने देश में 16वें राष्ट्रपति के चुनाव (Presidential Election 2022) का ऐलान कर दिया है। भारत में राष्ट्रपति (President) देश के सर्वोच्च नागरिक होते हैं, यानी कि first citizen. इस वक्त देश के राष्ट्रपति रामनाथ कोविंद (Ram Nath Kovind) हैं. मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त राजीव कुमार के मुताबिक 18 जुलाई को राष्ट्रपति चुनाव के लिए मतदान होगा. वहीं इसके लिए 15 जून को notification जारी होगा. 29 जून को नॉमिनेशन की आखिरी तारीख है. मतदान 18 जुलाई को होगा और मतगणना यानी कि vote की counting 21 जुलाई को होगी. जैसा कि मैं आपको बता चुकी हूँ कि राष्ट्रपति देश का सर्वोच्च नागरिक होता है. इसी तरह उप-राष्ट्रपति, राष्ट्रपति के बाद देश का दूसरा सर्वोच्च नागरिक होता है. इसके बाद तीसरे नंबर पर प्रधानमंत्री, चौथे पर राज्यों के राज्यपाल यानी कि Governors (संबंधित राज्यों के सभी), पांचवें नंबर पर देश के पूर्व राष्ट्रपति और इसी के साथ देश के उप-प्रधानमंत्री आते हैं. इसके बाद छठे सर्वोच्च नागरिक भारत के मुख्य न्यायधीश यानी कि Chief Justice और लोकसभा अध्यक्ष होते हैं. सातवें नंबर पर केंद्रीय कैबिनेट मंत्री, मुख्यमंत्री, योजना आयोग के अध्यक्ष, पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री, लोकसभा और राज्यसभा में विपक्ष के नेता होते हैं. कोई भी आम नागरिक देश का 27वां नागरिक होता है. इस पर विस्तार से बात करेंगे लेकिन इस आर्टिकल में हम आज आपको देश के सर्वोच्च नागरिक राष्ट्रपति को कैसे चुना जाता है इसकी प्रक्रिया बताउंगी…. ये भी आपको बताउंगी कि कैसे इस पद के लिए नॉमिनेशन मने नामांकन भरा जाता है, ऐसी क्या योग्यताएं होनी चाहिए एक राष्ट्रपति पद के लिए चुनाव लड़ रहे व्यक्ति में…. तो चलिए आइये जानते हैं।  Body: Time: 2.15 - 10.00 नमस्कार,आदाब, सत्श्रीअकाल, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan और आप सुन रहे ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश FYI - For Your Information. अभी-अभी Presidential Election 2022 की date आई है तो सोचा आपको बताऊं कि एक राष्ट्रपति का election होता कैसे है। तो पहली बात तो ये कि राष्ट्रपति का अप्रत्यक्ष निर्वाचन से चुनाव होता है यानी कि indirect. Direct होता है प्रधानमंत्री का। Direct यानी जिसे सीधा जनता चुने। देश की जनता राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव सीधे खुद नहीं करती बल्कि उसके वोट से चुने हुए प्रतिनिधि करते हैं. इसे ही अप्रत्यक्ष निर्वाचन कहते हैं। जैसा कि हमने ऊपर बताया है कि राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव जनता द्वारा वोट के आधार पर चुने प्रतिनिधि करते हैं, तो इसका साफ मतलब है कि इस प्रक्रिया में वोटिंग का अधिकार चुने हुए विधायक और सांसदों के पास होता है. राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में संसद में नामित सदस्य और विधान परिषदों के सदस्य वोट नहीं डाल सकते हैं, क्योंकि ये जनता द्वारा सीधे नहीं चुने जाते हैं.  कैसे होता है राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव, यहां जानिए 1-भारत के राष्ट्रपति पद की दौड़ में हिस्सा लेने वाले प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार को अपना नामांकन दाखिल करना होता है. राष्ट्रपति चुनाव लड़ने वाले व्यक्ति को इसके लिए 15000 रुपये से अधिक जमा करने होते हैं और 50 प्रस्तावकों और 50 समर्थकों की एक हस्ताक्षर की हुई सूची जमा करनी होती है. प्रस्तावक और समर्थक राष्ट्रपति चुनाव 2022 में मतदान करने के योग्य निर्वाचकों में से कोई भी हो सकता है. यहां ये जान लेना जरूरी है कि राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में वोट देने योग्य व्यक्ति केवल एक ही उम्मीदवार के नाम का प्रस्ताव या समर्थन कर सकता है. चुनाव आयोग द्वारा 1952, 1957, 1962, 1967 और 1969 (भारत के तीसरे राष्ट्रपति जाकिर हुसैन की कार्यालय में मृत्यु के बाद एक प्रारंभिक चुनाव) के चुनावों के बाद 1974 में मतदाताओं को प्रस्तावित करने और एक व्यक्ति की उम्मीदवारी का प्रस्ताव देने का यह नियम अपनाया गया था. 2- राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में सभी निर्वाचित विधायक अपने-अपने राज्य और केंद्र शाषित प्रदेश में तो वहीं सभी निर्वाचित सांसद राज्यसभा और लोकसभा में वोट करते हैं. वोट डालने के लिए निर्वाचित सांसदों और  निर्वाचित विधायकों को मतपत्र दिए जाते हैं. सांसदों को हरे रंग और विधायकों को गुलाबी रंग का मतपत्र दिया जाता है. उन्हें विशेष पेन भी दिए जाते हैं, जिसका उपयोग वे अपने वोट रिकॉर्ड करने के लिए कर सकते हैं.   प्रत्येक मतपत्र में उन सभी उम्मीदवारों के नाम होते हैं जो राष्ट्रपति चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं. निर्वाचक प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए अपनी वरीयता को इंगित करता है. जिस उम्मीदवार को वे राष्ट्रपति के रूप में सबसे अधिक पसंद करते हैं, उनके लिए '1' नंबर चुनते हैं जबकि उस उम्मीदवार के लिए '2', जो उनकी दूसरी वरीयता है और इसी तरह अन्य वरियता का चुनाव भी निर्वाचक करता है.   हालांकि ये बता दें कि जो भी निर्वाचक राष्ट्रपति पद के उम्मीदवारों के लिए वरीयताएं चिह्नित करता है उसके लिए यह आवश्यक नहीं है कि वो सभी उम्मीदवारों का चयन करे..वो केवल पहली वरीयता को ही चिह्नित कर सकता है.   3-वोटिंग के बाद विधायकों के मतपत्रों को राज्यवार इकट्ठा कर प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार की ट्रे में डाल दिया जाता है. उदाहरण के तौर पर पिछले राष्ट्रपति चुनाव की बात करें तो, यदि उत्तर प्रदेश के किसी विधायक ने राम नाथ कोविंद को अपनी पहली वरीयता के रूप में चिह्नित किया था, तो विधायक का मतपत्र कोविंद की ट्रे में गया होगा.   फिर इसी प्रकार संसद सदस्यों के मतपत्रों का वितरण किया जाता है. उदाहरण के लिए, जिन सांसद ने पिछले चुनाव में मीरा कुमार को अपनी पहली वरीयता के रूप में चिह्नित किया होगा उन सांसदों के सभी मतपत्र कुमार की ट्रे में गए होंगे.   कैसे होती है वोटों की गिनती   वोट डालने वाले सांसदों और विधायकों के वोट का वेटेज अलग-अलग होता है. दो राज्यों के विधायकों के वोटों का वेटेज भी अलग-अलग होता है.   विधायक के मामले में जिस राज्य का विधायक हो उसकी आबादी देखी जाती है और उस प्रदेश के विधानसभा सदस्यों की संख्या देखी जाती है. वेटेज निकालने के लिए प्रदेश की जनसंख्या को चुने हुए विधायक की संख्या से बांटा जाता है, उसे फिर एक हजार से भाग दिया जाता है. अब जो आंकड़ा आता है वही उस राज्य के वोट का वेटेज होता है.   उदाहरण के लिए उत्तर प्रदेश में 402 विधानसभा सीटें हैं. यहां की जनसंख्या साल 1971 की जनगणना के मुताबिक 83849905 है. इस हिसाब से यहां एक विधायक के मतपत्र का मूल्य 208 है. किसी भी सांसद (राज्यसभा या लोकसभा से) के मतपत्र का मूल्य 708 है.    कैसे तय होता है राष्ट्रपति पद का विजेता   राष्ट्रपति चुनाव का विजेता वह व्यक्ति नहीं होता जिसे सबसे अधिक मत प्राप्त होते हैं, बल्कि वह व्यक्ति होता है जिसे एक निश्चित कोटे से अधिक मत प्राप्त होते हैं. प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए डाले गए वोटों को जोड़कर, योग को 2 से विभाजित divide करके और भागफल में '1' जोड़कर कोटा तय किया जाता है.   जो उम्मीदवार तय कोटा से अधिक वोट प्राप्त करता है वह विजेता होता है. यदि किसी को कोटे से अधिक वोट नहीं मिलते हैं, तो सबसे कम वोट वाले उम्मीदवार को रेस से हटा दिया जाता है और हटाए गए उम्मीदवारों के मतपत्र उन मतपत्रों में दूसरी वरीयता पसंद के आधार पर शेष उम्मीदवारों के बीच वितरित (बांटे) किए जाते हैं. प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए कुल मतों की गिनती की प्रक्रिया फिर दोहराई जाती है ताकि यह देखा जा सके कि कोई तय कोटा से ऊपर मत पा सका है या नहीं.   यह प्रक्रिया तब तक जारी रहती है जब तक किसी का वोट कोटा से अधिक तक नहीं पहुंच जाता है, या जब तक लगातार निष्कासन के बाद सिर्फ एक उम्मीदवार नहीं बच जाता है. तब उस व्यक्ति को भारत के राष्ट्रपति के विजेता के रूप में घोषित किया जाता है.   भारत के राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव लड़ने के लिए उम्मीदवार द्वारा आवश्यक योग्यताएं क्या हैं?

Introduction Time:0.10 - 2.10 आप सभी को शायद पता तो होगा ही, और नहीं पता है तो बताये देती हूँ -  चुनाव आयोग (ECI) ने देश में 16वें राष्ट्रपति के चुनाव (Presidential Election 2022) का ऐलान कर दिया है। भारत में राष्ट्रपति (President) देश के सर्वोच्च नागरिक होते हैं, यानी कि first citizen. इस वक्त देश के राष्ट्रपति रामनाथ कोविंद (Ram Nath Kovind) हैं. मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त राजीव कुमार के मुताबिक 18 जुलाई को राष्ट्रपति चुनाव के लिए मतदान होगा. वहीं इसके लिए 15 जून को notification जारी होगा. 29 जून को नॉमिनेशन की आखिरी तारीख है. मतदान 18 जुलाई को होगा और मतगणना यानी कि vote की counting 21 जुलाई को होगी. जैसा कि मैं आपको बता चुकी हूँ कि राष्ट्रपति देश का सर्वोच्च नागरिक होता है. इसी तरह उप-राष्ट्रपति, राष्ट्रपति के बाद देश का दूसरा सर्वोच्च नागरिक होता है. इसके बाद तीसरे नंबर पर प्रधानमंत्री, चौथे पर राज्यों के राज्यपाल यानी कि Governors (संबंधित राज्यों के सभी), पांचवें नंबर पर देश के पूर्व राष्ट्रपति और इसी के साथ देश के उप-प्रधानमंत्री आते हैं. इसके बाद छठे सर्वोच्च नागरिक भारत के मुख्य न्यायधीश यानी कि Chief Justice और लोकसभा अध्यक्ष होते हैं. सातवें नंबर पर केंद्रीय कैबिनेट मंत्री, मुख्यमंत्री, योजना आयोग के अध्यक्ष, पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री, लोकसभा और राज्यसभा में विपक्ष के नेता होते हैं. कोई भी आम नागरिक देश का 27वां नागरिक होता है. इस पर विस्तार से बात करेंगे लेकिन इस आर्टिकल में हम आज आपको देश के सर्वोच्च नागरिक राष्ट्रपति को कैसे चुना जाता है इसकी प्रक्रिया बताउंगी…. ये भी आपको बताउंगी कि कैसे इस पद के लिए नॉमिनेशन मने नामांकन भरा जाता है, ऐसी क्या योग्यताएं होनी चाहिए एक राष्ट्रपति पद के लिए चुनाव लड़ रहे व्यक्ति में…. तो चलिए आइये जानते हैं।  Body: Time: 2.15 - 10.00 नमस्कार,आदाब, सत्श्रीअकाल, मैं हूँ Sahiba Khan और आप सुन रहे ABP Live Podcasts की पेशकश FYI - For Your Information. अभी-अभी Presidential Election 2022 की date आई है तो सोचा आपको बताऊं कि एक राष्ट्रपति का election होता कैसे है। तो पहली बात तो ये कि राष्ट्रपति का अप्रत्यक्ष निर्वाचन से चुनाव होता है यानी कि indirect. Direct होता है प्रधानमंत्री का। Direct यानी जिसे सीधा जनता चुने। देश की जनता राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव सीधे खुद नहीं करती बल्कि उसके वोट से चुने हुए प्रतिनिधि करते हैं. इसे ही अप्रत्यक्ष निर्वाचन कहते हैं। जैसा कि हमने ऊपर बताया है कि राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव जनता द्वारा वोट के आधार पर चुने प्रतिनिधि करते हैं, तो इसका साफ मतलब है कि इस प्रक्रिया में वोटिंग का अधिकार चुने हुए विधायक और सांसदों के पास होता है. राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में संसद में नामित सदस्य और विधान परिषदों के सदस्य वोट नहीं डाल सकते हैं, क्योंकि ये जनता द्वारा सीधे नहीं चुने जाते हैं.  कैसे होता है राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव, यहां जानिए 1-भारत के राष्ट्रपति पद की दौड़ में हिस्सा लेने वाले प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार को अपना नामांकन दाखिल करना होता है. राष्ट्रपति चुनाव लड़ने वाले व्यक्ति को इसके लिए 15000 रुपये से अधिक जमा करने होते हैं और 50 प्रस्तावकों और 50 समर्थकों की एक हस्ताक्षर की हुई सूची जमा करनी होती है. प्रस्तावक और समर्थक राष्ट्रपति चुनाव 2022 में मतदान करने के योग्य निर्वाचकों में से कोई भी हो सकता है. यहां ये जान लेना जरूरी है कि राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में वोट देने योग्य व्यक्ति केवल एक ही उम्मीदवार के नाम का प्रस्ताव या समर्थन कर सकता है. चुनाव आयोग द्वारा 1952, 1957, 1962, 1967 और 1969 (भारत के तीसरे राष्ट्रपति जाकिर हुसैन की कार्यालय में मृत्यु के बाद एक प्रारंभिक चुनाव) के चुनावों के बाद 1974 में मतदाताओं को प्रस्तावित करने और एक व्यक्ति की उम्मीदवारी का प्रस्ताव देने का यह नियम अपनाया गया था. 2- राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में सभी निर्वाचित विधायक अपने-अपने राज्य और केंद्र शाषित प्रदेश में तो वहीं सभी निर्वाचित सांसद राज्यसभा और लोकसभा में वोट करते हैं. वोट डालने के लिए निर्वाचित सांसदों और  निर्वाचित विधायकों को मतपत्र दिए जाते हैं. सांसदों को हरे रंग और विधायकों को गुलाबी रंग का मतपत्र दिया जाता है. उन्हें विशेष पेन भी दिए जाते हैं, जिसका उपयोग वे अपने वोट रिकॉर्ड करने के लिए कर सकते हैं.   प्रत्येक मतपत्र में उन सभी उम्मीदवारों के नाम होते हैं जो राष्ट्रपति चुनाव लड़ रहे हैं. निर्वाचक प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए अपनी वरीयता को इंगित करता है. जिस उम्मीदवार को वे राष्ट्रपति के रूप में सबसे अधिक पसंद करते हैं, उनके लिए '1' नंबर चुनते हैं जबकि उस उम्मीदवार के लिए '2', जो उनकी दूसरी वरीयता है और इसी तरह अन्य वरियता का चुनाव भी निर्वाचक करता है.   हालांकि ये बता दें कि जो भी निर्वाचक राष्ट्रपति पद के उम्मीदवारों के लिए वरीयताएं चिह्नित करता है उसके लिए यह आवश्यक नहीं है कि वो सभी उम्मीदवारों का चयन करे..वो केवल पहली वरीयता को ही चिह्नित कर सकता है.   3-वोटिंग के बाद विधायकों के मतपत्रों को राज्यवार इकट्ठा कर प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार की ट्रे में डाल दिया जाता है. उदाहरण के तौर पर पिछले राष्ट्रपति चुनाव की बात करें तो, यदि उत्तर प्रदेश के किसी विधायक ने राम नाथ कोविंद को अपनी पहली वरीयता के रूप में चिह्नित किया था, तो विधायक का मतपत्र कोविंद की ट्रे में गया होगा.   फिर इसी प्रकार संसद सदस्यों के मतपत्रों का वितरण किया जाता है. उदाहरण के लिए, जिन सांसद ने पिछले चुनाव में मीरा कुमार को अपनी पहली वरीयता के रूप में चिह्नित किया होगा उन सांसदों के सभी मतपत्र कुमार की ट्रे में गए होंगे.   कैसे होती है वोटों की गिनती   वोट डालने वाले सांसदों और विधायकों के वोट का वेटेज अलग-अलग होता है. दो राज्यों के विधायकों के वोटों का वेटेज भी अलग-अलग होता है.   विधायक के मामले में जिस राज्य का विधायक हो उसकी आबादी देखी जाती है और उस प्रदेश के विधानसभा सदस्यों की संख्या देखी जाती है. वेटेज निकालने के लिए प्रदेश की जनसंख्या को चुने हुए विधायक की संख्या से बांटा जाता है, उसे फिर एक हजार से भाग दिया जाता है. अब जो आंकड़ा आता है वही उस राज्य के वोट का वेटेज होता है.   उदाहरण के लिए उत्तर प्रदेश में 402 विधानसभा सीटें हैं. यहां की जनसंख्या साल 1971 की जनगणना के मुताबिक 83849905 है. इस हिसाब से यहां एक विधायक के मतपत्र का मूल्य 208 है. किसी भी सांसद (राज्यसभा या लोकसभा से) के मतपत्र का मूल्य 708 है.    कैसे तय होता है राष्ट्रपति पद का विजेता   राष्ट्रपति चुनाव का विजेता वह व्यक्ति नहीं होता जिसे सबसे अधिक मत प्राप्त होते हैं, बल्कि वह व्यक्ति होता है जिसे एक निश्चित कोटे से अधिक मत प्राप्त होते हैं. प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए डाले गए वोटों को जोड़कर, योग को 2 से विभाजित divide करके और भागफल में '1' जोड़कर कोटा तय किया जाता है.   जो उम्मीदवार तय कोटा से अधिक वोट प्राप्त करता है वह विजेता होता है. यदि किसी को कोटे से अधिक वोट नहीं मिलते हैं, तो सबसे कम वोट वाले उम्मीदवार को रेस से हटा दिया जाता है और हटाए गए उम्मीदवारों के मतपत्र उन मतपत्रों में दूसरी वरीयता पसंद के आधार पर शेष उम्मीदवारों के बीच वितरित (बांटे) किए जाते हैं. प्रत्येक उम्मीदवार के लिए कुल मतों की गिनती की प्रक्रिया फिर दोहराई जाती है ताकि यह देखा जा सके कि कोई तय कोटा से ऊपर मत पा सका है या नहीं.   यह प्रक्रिया तब तक जारी रहती है जब तक किसी का वोट कोटा से अधिक तक नहीं पहुंच जाता है, या जब तक लगातार निष्कासन के बाद सिर्फ एक उम्मीदवार नहीं बच जाता है. तब उस व्यक्ति को भारत के राष्ट्रपति के विजेता के रूप में घोषित किया जाता है.   भारत के राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव लड़ने के लिए उम्मीदवार द्वारा आवश्यक योग्यताएं क्या हैं?   अनुच्छेद 58 (अट्ठावन) के तहत, एक उम्मीदवार को राष्ट्रपति के पद का चुनाव लड़ने के लिए निम्नलिखित शर्तों को पूरा करना अनिवार्य है   -भारत का नागरिक होना चाहिए -35 वर्ष की आयु पूरी करनी चाहिए -लोकसभा का सदस्य बनने के योग्य होना चाहिए -भारत सरकार या किसी राज्य की सरकार के अधीन या किसी स्थानीय या अन्य प्राधिकरण के अधीन किसी भी उक्त सरकार के नियंत्रण के अधीन लाभ का कोई पद धारण नहीं किया होना चाहिए. हालांकि, उम्मीदवार किसी भी राज्य के राष्ट्रपति या उपराष्ट्रपति या राज्यपाल या संघ या किसी राज्य के मंत्रियों का पद धारण कर सकता है और चुनाव लड़ने के लिए पात्र होगा   Conclusion: Time: 10.05 - 11 तो आज हमने आपको बताया कि Presidential Election 2022 में राष्ट्रपति का चुनाव कैसे होता है। समझ रहे हैं?

De wereldpolitiek verkeert in een stroomversnelling. Europa is nu gedwongen een eigen, zelfstandige rol te spelen. En er is onmiskenbaar een nieuwe, cruciale wereldmacht die zich aandient: India. De president van dit in bevolking inmiddels grootste land ter wereld, Ram Nath Kovind, was afgelopen week in Nederland. En dat is bepaald geen toeval, vertellen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in deze aflevering van Betrouwbare Bronnen.India is een steeds belangrijker speler op het wereldtoneel. En Nederland is voor dat enorme land van 1,4 miljard mensen een wezenlijke partner. Niet alleen omdat India met de EU graag en nauw wil samenwerken, maar ook omdat ons land daar tot de grootste handelspartners en investeerders behoort. Dit maakt dat beiden belang hechten aan wederzijds begrip en intensieve dialoog. PG vertelt over zijn indringende gesprek met een vorige president van India, Abdul Kalam, die de samenwerking op het terrein van wetenschap, onderzoek, innovatie en ruimtevaart hoog op zijn agenda had staan.Jaap en PG analyseren hoe India er nu voorstaat. Het is een kernmacht met eigen ruimteraketten. Het heeft het grootste staande leger op aarde en een vloot die van grote betekenis is voor de ‘Indo-Pacific regio' waarop de geopolitiek zich meer en meer concentreert. Ook economisch is India inmiddels een reus. In de hightech is het een gigant. Zijn economie is twee keer zo groot als die van Rusland en drie keer zo groot als de Nederlandse. Door zijn jonge, hoogopgeleide middenklasse en zijn cultuur van democratische ontwikkeling, diversiteit en Engelstalige communicatie is India op vele fronten tegelijk een aantrekkelijke partner.Dat de Indiase regering in de actuele spanningen zich een beetje afhoudend opstelt en de oude band met Moskou niet wil verbreken is vanuit de historie van de afgelopen 75 jaar niet zo vreemd. Voor zowel de olie als de defensie was India al heel lang nauw verbonden met de Sovjet-Unie en daarna met Rusland. Hierbij speelden de permanente spanningen met grote buur China en de grensoorlogen met hen en met westerse bondgenoot Pakistan een grote rol. Na ‘9/11' kwam er een wending naar het westen. Het was president George W. Bush die hier een wezenlijke rol speelde, wat door Obama krachtig werd voortgezet.PG Kroeger vertelt over die ene eerdere keer dat India een echte supermacht was. In de eeuwen tussen 1550 en 1700 kon geen heerser op aarde, laat staan een Europese vorst, tippen aan de macht en rijkdom van de Mughal-heersers op de troon in Agra. Wie waren zij? Wat was hun geheim? Waarom zijn juist deze ‘koningen der koningen' en ‘schaduw van de rechterhand van Allah' zo eindeloos fascinerend? Twee van licht PG eruit.Allereerst Akbar, die het Mughal-imperium definitief grondvestte, een tijdgenoot van Willem van Oranje, Elizabeth I en Filips II. Hij regeerde bijna 50 jaar en deed een opmerkelijke poging te komen tot wereldvrede tussen alle volkeren en religies. En vervolgens Mumtaz Mahal, de innig beminde vrouw van keizer Shah Jahan die haar als keizerin liet regeren zodat hij zich kon wijden aan kunsten, mystiek en het voeren van succesvolle veroveringscampagnes. In de wereldgeschiedenis kent hun liefdesverhaal weinig gelijken. Toen zij stierf beloofde Shah Jahan voor haar het allermooiste gebouw te zullen ontwerpen dat als monument voor hun liefde de eeuwen zou trotseren. Hij hield woord. Ze is begraven in de Taj Mahal in Agra.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door donaties van luisteraars via Vriend van de Show. Sponsoring of adverteren is ook mogelijk.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam is set to present the paperless Union Budget for the financial year 2022-23 at 11am tomorrow. This will be her third Budget since taking over as India's first full-time female Finance Minister in May 2019. And today at 12pm, the Economic Survey 2022 will be tabled in Parliament.  The Survey acts as an annual report card of the economy and also contains suggestions to the government on policy matters. It is traditionally prepared by the Chief Economic Adviser.  This year however, in the absence of a chief economic adviser, the principal economic advisor and other officials are preparing the survey. Similarly, in 2014, the Economic Survey was prepared by senior economic advisor Ila Patnaik and not by chief economic advisor who is usually the architect of the survey. Meanwhile, the government on Saturday announced Dr V Anantha Nageswaran as the new chief economic adviser of the country. The post had fallen vacant after Krishnamurthy Subramanian returned to academia after completing his three-year term on December 6 last year. The last three Economic Survey reports prepared under the guidance of Subramanian were way off the mark in predicting growth numbers. Off late, making GDP projections has become tricky. The pandemic has further complicated it. Last year's Economic Survey projected the growth rate of 11% for the current financial year. The first advance estimates put it at 9.2%. In FY20, the economy contracted by 7.3% while the survey had projected a 6-6.5% growth. A business daily -- while citing officials -- claimed that the Economic Survey could forecast the real economic growth for fiscal 2023 to be lower than the 9.2% estimated for the current financial year. Meanwhile, the Budget session starting today with the address of President Ram Nath Kovind, will be conducted in two phases. The first part will go on till February 11. And after over a month in recess, the session will resume on March 14. It will conclude on April 8. Just-concluded Winter Session of Parliament was a complete washout when it comes to economic bills. The government didn't table key bills including the one on privatisation of two public sector banks and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. And experts believe that the government may not table them in the first half of the Budget session due to the same challenge it had faced earlier -- the elections in five states. Despite the sale of Air India, the government looks all set to miss its disinvestment target of Rs 1.75 trillion for FY22. Apart from the privatisation, the implementation of the labour codes and proposed reforms in the power sector are also lined up. Another crucial bill hanging fire is Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, which experts believe is unlikely to be tabled in this session too. Meanwhile, apart from the employment-generating measures, the government's fund allotment for the country's healthcare sector will also be keenly watched. Last year, the government had allocated just 1.8% of the GDP to health. Opposition Congress on Friday said that it will work closely with like-minded parties during the Budget session and jointly raise matters of public importance, including farmers' issues and border dispute with China. Last year, the Budget session was cut short by 14 days in the wake of assembly elections in several states. This year too five states - Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa -- are going to polls between February 10 to march 7. With the pandemic affecting low income segments the most, near-term measures to support incomes and boost househol

റേഡിയോ മാറ്റൊലി 90.4 FM Seema comes from Kozhikode, a large city in the Indian state of Kerala. She studied to obtain a master's degree in technology before going on to gain her doctorate. After this she joined the publicly funded research facility in Kerala named the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET). She led a team who were challenged by the Malabar Cancer Centre to find a device that was more portable than an x-ray machine that could be used to diagnose whether a woman had breast cancer. The device they created looks like a sports bra and can be worn for a short time to gain a diagnosis. Not only is the device much easier than submitting to a mammogram, the new device does not require a radiologist to supervise the procedure. The new device also has the advantage that it can be used by women and girls as young as fifteen. Body shape is not an issue and the device is expected to cost about R$450. Seema was recognised with the Nari Shakti Puraskar, presented by Ram Nath Kovind, the President of India. She went to New Delhi as the award ceremony was held at the President's palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan, on International Women's Day in 2019. 41 women received the award and three were given to groups. The Minister of Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi was there and afterwards the awardees met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiomattoli/message

Welcome to all of you once again in our original podcast, today we have brought the second part of the reservation so let's listen to this best audio podcast. Why the different backward classes also have the benifit of Reservation ? It also argued that the backward classes especially from SC and ST , who have taken the prestigious public post by taking the benifit of Reservation , should be excluded from the parview of Reservation however , this Concept has been adopted as creamy Layer towards other backward classes . But this argument is not justified because if a person is financially prosperous then it dose not mean that he will not be discriminated on social and caste grounds . Economic prosperity is not a measure of social equality . The biggest example of this the discrimination with President Ram Nath Kovind at Puri temple in odisha on March 18 , 2018 . The temple priests raised strong objection to the President entry into the temple , as the President comes for the depressed class . Earlier , on 25 June 2011 , National Scheduled Caste and Tribes Commission of India Chairman P.L Puniya was barred from entering a prestigious temple in Ranapuda , odisha . But when P.L Puniya entered the temple and worshipped with the help of administration , after he left the temple was washed with Gangaes Water and purified The Priests of the temple clearly stated that Puniya a special Section of society comes , whose entry into the temple is forbidden and their entry has polluted the temple . When individuals occupying key constitutiond positions can be discrimination against on caste grounds , the what would be the status of the common man from the dalit class I. the society can be imagined . Argument in favor of Reservation . • For the development of a Justice - based social system . • To include the weaker and backward sections of the society in the mainstream of society . • Representation of all sections of society is necessary in democracy . Argument against Reservation . • Against the principal of social justice because social justice is based on equality while Reservation is based on the principal of unequal conduce . • Others Reason . Should Reservation be abolished ? Many people argue that the Reservation was initially for 10 years in the constitution but later it has continuously extended till now . There is no need for Reservation , it should be abolished . Analysis Therefore the constitution of Reservation is necessary until the bonds of social order are relaxed . Every central government also support this view . Concept like dignity of the person describe in the preamble of the indian constitution are also inspired by sentiments . Reservation should be considered an evil weaker backward sections of society have definitely moved a head with Reservation .
