  The Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Ordinance or the law against ‘Love Jihad’ is a piece of legislation that has either been passed or tabled in the legislative assemblies of close to a dozen BJP-ruled states. The verbatim text of the anti-conversion ordinance which has been passed in Uttar Pradesh reads as follows: “ to provide freedom of religion by prohibition of conversion from one religion to another by misrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, allurement or by any fraudulent means or by marriage and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.” The nature of this ordinance indicates a marked departure from the normal procedure established by law, in that the burden of proof falls on the accused instead of the prosecution.

The law also empowers anyone, including members of the family to level these kind of accusations against a person in an inter-faith ...

  The Crude Oil prices touched almost 10,600 rupees per barrel mark, which was around 5,300 in December. Now, the main reasons for an increase in Oil Prices. Of course, one of the most important reasons is the decision made by USA to ban the purchase of Russian Oil in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Russia is the world’s second-largest producer of oil so if the oil is kept out of the world market for so long, it will not only lead to prices touching the peak, but will remain the same for way too long.How India will get affected to the rising of Oil Prices. While our country is not directly related or involved in the war, but it will get badly affected if oil prices move higher and stay that way. India is a large importer of oil.
