1.Drought

Around 33 crore  people have been adversely affected due to drought. India witnessed extreme drought especially in Marathwada and Vidarbha region in eastern Maharashtra. El-Nino weather conditions are being held responsible for the drought. Water scarcity became such a grim issue that Bombay High court ordered shifting out of IPL matches from Maharashtra. Supreme court pulled up centre to issue a deadline for declaration of drought. Water scarcity also brought out caste based conflicts present in Indian society as dalits were denied water in public tubewells at few places. Finally, central government took up the challenge and sent water trains to the parched areas like Latur. The question remains how do we address the issue of water scarcity in long term. Indian weather is dependent on erratic monsoons. However that does not give us the liberty to waste water. Should govt end subsidy on water to promote its judicious use or make rainwater harvesting be mandatory for each household?

   2*airpollution*
In India air is so much polluted that it is estimated around 5 lac people die annually due to air pollution. As per WHO study, 6 Indian cities made it to the top 10 of the most polluted cities across the world. Air pollution occupied a centerstage in Delhi where Odd-Even scheme was launched with much fan fare to counter air pollution. Due to the lack of adequate public transport, it created some problems for the common man. In the midst of all this, Supreme court banned diesel based cabs only to agree later that it will allow a gradual phase-out if there was a substantial plan. Various solutions are being suggested. People are discussing other options like promoting car-pooling, imposition of green tax on diesel vehicles throughout India.

 3. Hunger and Malnutrition

According to the United Nations Development Programme, up to 40% of the food produced in India is wasted. This includes food wasted both at farm level due to poor storage facilities and also food which is wasted at households, restaurants, canteens, weddings etc. It is said that India wastes as much food as is consumed by the entire United Kingdom. This is not a matter of pride but of shame. Due to our careless attitude, we waste a lot of food which could have been used to feed the hungry and the poor. On Global Hunger Index, India ranks at a dismal 55 out of 76  most hunger prone countries. Our neighbours Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh score much better than us. Half of our children are malnourished and under-weight and this has been called as “National Shame”. Around 20 crore Indians sleep hungry on a daily basis. The food wastage is a major issue which needs to be tackled. Should we start imposing penalty on deliberate or careless wastage of food?

Women sefty


Not only gender disparity in India but safety and security of women continues to be a major challenge faced by India. Even after Nirbhaya episode in 2012 which led to huge hue and cry and various legal reforms, women continue to face considerable vulnerability in Indian society. In Kerala a 28 year old law student was brutally raped and murdered, in Assam a 20 year old girl was raped and set ablaze and in Haryana, women were dragged out from their vehicles and raped during Jat protests for reservation. About 92 rapes take place on a daily basis with max number of rapes in Delhi. Despite legal reforms and increased sensitivity of police towards women safety, the rape challenge is yet to be tackled. The issue of women safety is also closely related to the issue of women empowerment in India. However, with increase in rape in India, the debate on death penalty for India’s rape crisis has kickstarted. Voice your opinion here if you think death penalty should be awarded for rape.
          5. Student Politics

Jio
The recent controversies in University of Hyderabad, Jawaharlal Nehru National University and National Institute of Technology Srinagar have been widely discussed in present days. While Rohith Vemula’s suicide at University of Hyderabad brought caste politics into picture, the protests in favour of Afzal Guru at JNU and against separatism at NIT Srinagar brought issue of nationalism into picture. In the midst of these controversies, questions have been raised on the nature of student politics in India. Whether students are liasoning with and promoting the interests of mainstream political parties or whether political parties are exploiting students for vote bank politics, the debate has captivated every Indian. The role of media in taking sides in these controversies has also been questioned. These protests were intricately linked to the intolerance debate as well by the media.
