NoneThe adoption of the most sacred document called the Constitution of India on November 26, 1949 binds together this diverse country and provides the guiding light for its governance. The Constitution of India guarantees rights to citizens and casts obligations on the State and provides for institutions of governance making them accountable to develop a vibrant democracy. Passage of seventy-five years is a good time for stock-taking of the ideals and vision of the founding fathers. The greatest ideal of any vibrant democracy is the oldest concept protected since 1215. Magna Carta provided that no free man shall be taken or imprisoned except by law of land. In India, liberty is freedom from arbitrary and unfair restraint upon an individual. No liberty can ever be absolute and nobody has liberty to disturb liberty of others. The framers of the Constitution gave little discretion to future lawmakers on life and liberty. The liberty under the Indian Constitution finds place in Article 21, which provides restrictions by ‘procedure established by law’. Life and Liberty has been given a broad meaning and interpretation to make life and democracy meaningful. The Indian Constitution was framed amidst the stress of the partition riots resulting from the greatest migration in world history. The pangs of partition had permitted preventive detention laws of the type of the infamous Rowlatt Act and the Second World War Law Defence of India Act 1939, which permitted detention on the basis of likelihood of a person commuting an offence. Democratic countries have no such laws during normal peace times. Arrest or detention is made because ‘he has committed an offence’, not because ‘he is likely to commit an offence’. The framers of the Constitution believed that in a democratic country like ours, the parliament will enact such laws only in extreme situations but that faith in the democratic legislations and the governments was belied as arrest and detention is used and misused till date. Arrest and detention under draconian laws has for political vengeance only increased in recent times. Critics of the government, public dissenters, independent political thinkers, critical journalists and in particular, those from minority community are facing the brunt of laws like Prevention of Money laundering Act (PMLA) and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) etc which may not be strictly preventive detention laws, but various penal laws are now weaponised to incarcerate citizens whose liberty is inconvenient to the government or for political reasons. A vibrant democracy can flower in a liberal atmosphere, where dissent is celebrated as flavour of democracy. The UAPA in particular has been invoked by the government to silence its critics and PMLA is misused to silence the political opponents, so that they can no longer act inconveniently. That has struck at the very foundations of liberty and has threatened electoral democracy itself. The apex court has, of late, sharpened ‘bail, not jail’ principle giving some relief to opposition leaders and other dissenters of the establishment, but the courts have not been able to check down the sliding of liberty at the hands of a powerful executive. The Supreme Court declared the remand order of NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha illegal and a blatant attempt to circumvent the due process of law, but by that time Purkayastha spent many months in jail. Umar Khalid, a former JNU student arrested under UAPA on 13/9/2000, is still unable to see the light of freedom till date. Arwind Kejriwal remained in jail for six months in a PMLA case. Sidheeq Kappan, a journalist, remained in prison for nearly two years. These are just few examples of high-profile critics. A few days back our Home Minister announced that prisoners who have completed a third of their sentence would be released to get justice before this year’s Constitution Day. That is certainly a welcome step but it would be great if the political dissenters get relief, to give our democracy a new meaning. The country did not require new criminal laws but certainly required a new ‘arrest and jail code’ which could provide guidance to all the courts over the great principle of ‘jail not bail’. When provision of liberty was being discussed, a member of the constituent assembly said, “I am well aware myself how the police arrest people for reasons wholly unconnected with security or order and sometimes merely with a view to paying off old scores or wreaking private vengeance.” There has been significant democratic backsliding due to declining liberties. Earlier, it was the Emergency period and the present times when democratic institutions are formally in place with democratic ideals and liberty itself becoming a casualty, which is bringing down the quality of our democracy, entitling international rating agencies to dub us as ‘electoral autocracy’ or ‘flawed democracy’. On September 15, 1949, H V Kamat said, “Has anybody considered how some other persons, possibly totally opposed to our ideals, to our conceptions of democracy, coming into power, might use this very Constitution against us and suppress our rights and liberties? This Constitution, which we are framing here, may act as boomerang, may recoil upon us and it would be then too late for us to rue the day when we made such provisions in the Constitution.” He was so prophetic!

NoneTetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday. Projected as a top-10 draft pick, the 6-foot-5, 212-pound McMillan finished his illustrious career at Arizona with 3,423 receiving yards, breaking the mark set by Bobby Wade (3,351). In three seasons, the Hawaii native also posted the fourth-most catches (213) and third-most touchdowns (26) in school history. "Wildcat Nation, this journey has been everything I dreamed of and more," McMillan wrote on Instagram. "From the moment I committed to the University of Arizona, to every second spent wearing that Arizona jersey ... it's been an absolute honor. "The University of Arizona has provided me with the platform to grow and chase my dreams. ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the best fans in the country, I appreciate you for all of the love and support you have given me these last 3 years. I will always be a Wildcat." In 2024, McMillan totaled 84 grabs (ninth in Division I) for 1,319 yards (third in Division I) and eight touchdowns for the 4-8 Wildcats. He also ranked third in Division I with 109.9 receiving yards per game. McMillan is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the most outstanding receiver in college football. --Field Level MediaGREG COTE’S NFL WEEK 13 THANKSGIVING DAY PICKS BEARS (4-7) at LIONS (10-1) Line: DET by 10. Cote’s pick: DET, 34-16. TV: 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday, CBS. The traditional roasted bird will just about be going into the Cote oven Thursday when the opener of the NFL Thanksgiving tripleheader kicks off. This is proving not to be the season to expect Detroit to revert to its old self. Because Dan Campbell has a monster going on. The Lions as double-digit favorites? Last two times that has happened. this season, Jared Goff and the lads have put up 52 points ... not total, in each game. Bears QB Caleb Williams has been better under new O-coordinator Thomas Brown. That and the rival/division factor could see the Bears hanging around as your Turkey Day digs in. But Detroit has turned into a juggernaut to be feared not doubted. At home and with America watching, I’d expect the Lions, especially that offense, to be in full preen mode. GIANTS (2-9) at COWBOYS (4-7) Line: DAL by 3 1/2. Cote’s pick: DAL, 24-17. TV: 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Fox. Dallas will be putting its 0-5 home record on national display right around the time the Cotes (and many of you) are sitting down at the banquet table Thursday. Cowboys have owned this NFC East rivalry, winning seven straight games, 14 of the past 15, and the and the past seven in a row at Jerry’s House. Now it’s the duel of break-glass-in-case-of-emergency QBs in Cooper Rush vs. Tommy DeVito. And two head coaches under fire, with the seat under Brian Dabol even hotter. Dallas Micah Parsons had two sacks in the upset win at Washington, and now faces an NYG squad that majors in giving up sacks. We’re praying for you, DeVito. Well, OK, not really. Because we’re rooting for our pick. Giants are 0-5 covering as a dog of four points or less. Let’s keep it that way. DOLPHINS (5-6) at PACKERS (8-3) Line: GB by 3 1/2. Cote’s pick: MIA, 27-23. TV: 8:20 p.m. Thursday, NBC/Peacock. Feast digested, tryptophan kicking in, dessert looking good but too full to eat. While the rest of us are feeling this on Thanksgiving night, the Dolphins are taking the field at Lambeau Field, with temperatures expected in the low 20s, with wind gusts but (mercifully) only a small chance of rain meaning snow. Oy! Brutal weather. Teams last met in 2022 (Tua Tagovailoa threw three picks), and Miami last won in Green Bay in 2010. But Miami has won three in a row entering this to hoist its season toward playoff hope, with Tua playing great. Yes, Tua in this kind of weather has not been a pretty sight. In fact he is 0-7 in games where the temperature is 40 or below, most recently in the playoff loss in Kansas City last January. Still, the Dolphins’ solid run defense will force Jordan Love to try to win in the air in conditions he can’t love, either. Yeah, yeah, I get it. There is every reason in the world to think pragmatically here, to think safely, to pick the Pack on the Frozen Tundra. But I’m feeling saucy. Maybe it’s the holiday? Blame my friend Jim Beam? Tua said this week, “I love killing narratives.” This one is: Miami can’t beat good teams, and can’t win in the freezing cold. So that makes this a two-for-one narrative-killing holiday special. And early Black Friday sale! I say the Dolphins, with a ton to prove, will stay hot in the freezing cold. Upset! ©2024 Miami Herald. Visit at miamiherald.com .

NEW YORK (AP) — There's no place like home for the holidays. And that may not necessarily be a good thing. In the wake of the very contentious and divisive 2024 presidential election, the upcoming celebration of Thanksgiving and the ramp-up of the winter holiday season could be a boon for some — a respite from the events of the larger world in the gathering of family and loved ones. Hours and even days spent with people who have played the largest roles in our lives. Another chapter in a lifetime of memories. That's one scenario. For others, that same period — particularly because of the polarizing presidential campaign — is something to dread. There is the likelihood of disagreements, harsh words, hurt feelings and raised voices looming large. Those who make a study of people and their relationships to each other in an increasingly complex 21st-century say there are choices that those with potentially fraught personal situations can make — things to do and things to avoid — that could help them and their families get through this time with a minimum of open conflict and a chance at getting to the point of the holidays in the first place. DO assess honestly where you are with it all For those who feel strongly about the election's outcome, and know that the people they would be spending the holiday feel just as strongly in the other direction, take the time to honestly assess if you're ready to spend time together in THIS moment, barely a few weeks after Election Day — and a time when feelings are still running high. The answer might be that you're not, and it might be better to take a temporary break, says Justin Jones-Fosu, author of “I Respectfully Disagree: How to Have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World.” “You have to assess your own readiness,” he says, “Each person is going be very different in this.” He emphasizes that it's not about taking a permanent step back. “Right now is that moment that we’re talking about because it’s still so fresh. Christmas may be different.” DON’T miss the bigger picture of what the holiday is all about Keep focused on why why you decided to go in the first place, Jones-Fosu says. Maybe it’s because there’s a relative there you don’t get to see often, or a loved one is getting up in age, or your kids want to see their cousins. Keeping that reason in mind could help you get through the time. DO set boundaries If you decide getting together is the way to go, but you know politics is still a dicey subject, set a goal of making the holiday a politics-free zone and stick with it, says Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University whose work includes research on family estrangement. “Will a political conversation change anyone’s mind?" he says. “If there is no possibility of changing anyone’s mind, then create a demilitarized zone and don’t talk about it.” DON’T take the bait Let’s be honest. Sometimes, despite best efforts and intentions to keep the holiday gathering politics- and drama-free, there’s someone who’s got something to say and is going to say it. In that case, avoid getting drawn into it, says Tracy Hutchinson, a professor in the graduate clinical mental health counseling program at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. “Not to take the hook is one of the most important things, and it is challenging,” she says. After all, you don’t have to go to every argument you’re invited to. DO think about what will happen after the holiday If you risk getting caught up in the moment, consider engaging in what Pillemer calls “forward mapping.” This involves thinking medium and long term rather than just about right now — strategy rather than tactics. Maybe imagine yourself six months from now looking back on the dinner and thinking about the memories you'd want to have. “Think about how you would like to remember this holiday,” he says. “Do you want to remember it with your brother and sister-in-law storming out and going home because you’ve had a two-hour argument?” DON'T feel you have to be there uninterrupted Things getting intense? Defuse the situation. Walk away. And it doesn't have to be in a huff. Sometimes a calm and collected time out is just what you — and the family — might need. Says Hutchinson: “If they do start to do something like that, you could say, `I’ve got to make this phone call. I’ve got to go to the bathroom. I’m going to take a walk around the block.'"Arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas commander over alleged war crimesCricket Don't miss out on the headlines from Cricket.

There won’t be any pre-Ashes barbs from England too far out from next year’s showdown against Australia, with captain Ben Stokes declaring he “spoke a little too much” before the teams last met and lost focus on what was in front of him. England will play the final Test of 2024 against New Zealand in Hamilton with Australia almost within touching distance, making it hard not to think about the clash between the two old enemies next summer. But with so much important cricket for England, rebuilding the Test side after the retirements of stalwart fast bowlers Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson, Stokes said he had to keep his focus in the present. England has had success in New Zealand. Picture: Marty Melville / AFP) The England outfit that tours Australia will look markedly different from the one which drew 2-2 in 2023, a series which included a spicy confrontation between Australian players and the crowd at Lord’s. There will be no Broad or Anderson, with the team also having moved on from the likes of spinner Jack Leach and batter Jonny Bairstow. Stokes had put the Ashes at the forefront of his mind when talking about the rebuilding, with England looking to regain the urn in Australia. But now he doesn’t want to fuel the inevitable hype too early, with his team set to face India next. “Every Englishman and Australian knows the Ashes is a big series for both teams, but I think toning down on the expectations on that series is something I will be better at in the build-up,” he said. “You do always have one eye on that, but we have six more Tests before that so we have to focus on those games. “Through my own fault, I maybe spoke a little too much about the Ashes and putting too much emphasis on that series considering how much cricket we had to play before that. England captain Ben Stokes doesn’t want to fuel the Ashes fire. Picture: Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images “That’s so far away from what my leadership had been about – staying present, staying where we are and then worrying about stuff when we have to worry about. That was a mistake from myself. I don’t know where it really came from ... there’s learning curves as a leader, I guess. “It is quite tough when you’ve got an Ashes coming around the corner. I’ve been involved in quite a few of those now and you do sort of look at the calendar and think ‘oh it’s nearly here’. “That’s hard to avoid but I think I’ll just make sure I keep my focus on being in the here and now and what we’ve got coming up.” England have won both of the opening two Tests in New Zealand ahead of the final game with their new-look team.

A Massachusetts man trying to escape from police shimmied down the chimney. And got stuck. The man fled onto a rooftop, channeling what the Fall River Police Department described as "the essence of the seasonal icon,” but he ended up needing to be rescued by the detectives who were pursuing him after getting wedged inside a chimney Tuesday evening. Body cam video from the Fall River Police Department shows a detective shouting, “Hey he's on the roof. Get down here!” Detectives were alerted moments later by a bystander that a man was “screaming” inside a nearby chimney. Incredulous detectives climbed up the roof and peered down into the shaft with a flashlight to see the man stuck. “You're an idiot,” one of them said. Detectives called in firefighters who had to carefully knock out bricks to free the man. “Due to his Santa-antics (the man) was transported to a local hospital out of caution," police said. The man remained in the lockup Thursday on drug charges and other charges from outstanding warrants. His court-appointed attorney didn't immediately return an email message. Another man sought by police was seen jumping off the roof and over a fence, escaping capture. Sharp reported from Portland, Maine.
