SELF RELIANT INDIA AND BOYCOTTING CHINESE PRODUCT

When the make in India initiative was launched,its objective was to not only make India self reliant to its domestic consumption but also to turn India into export India economy,and also bring cutting edge technologies, in order to boost competition in Indian economy and promote output quality of Indian economy.Its not only to make India self reliant but also to turn India into export hub,but this can happen only when our industry is tune with global market.

See,for example we have a huge market for mobile phones,but currently the phones that are consumed by our domestic markets are imported.So,through localisation it is possible to make India self reliant with regard to mobile phones and we can enable Indian manufacturer to substitute for these mobile imports.But,question is can these domestically produced mobile phones be exported,do they match with global quality standards and upon this government is looking for making this localisation requirement mandatory for even private e marketplace,such as amazon,flipkart,walmart etc.

The reason is the rise in unrealistic nationalism that has come in line with the rising border tensions.See,the propellants of boycotting Chinese goods are largely under the presumption that dependency of Indian economy on China is limited to only consumer electronics and phones such as mobile phones,electronics etc.but,they failed to understand-

excessive dependency of our core sector on chinese manufacturing,we are excessively dependent on China for heavy engineering machinery,the backhand infrastructure of our telecom and electronics sector,is again dependent on Chinese manufacturing and even the Indian pharmaceuticals industries,that are looking to exploit the pandemic by capitalizing the position as a market leader of generic drugs,is dependent of API for Chinese firms.70% of India's API requirement is met by China.

So,it clearly shows that we cannot end our dependency on China overnight. 

  

Violation on which CAB can be challanged and how it stand.

All those who are living in India can be categorized into two types either citizens or aliens(foreigners).the concept of citizenship is basically a romance between state and citizen.Its also a symbiotic relation where state confers certain privileges,benefits,rights to citizen and citizens also have obligation duty towards state.Only the citizen have right to vote,contest election,eligible for government jobs but if we look at the fundamental rights,they are available to citizen as well as aliens,except five fundamental rights article 15,16,19,29,30.But if we further look at the aliens they can be further be classified into two categories-friendly or enemy that includes migrants.But further these migrants can be classified into two category-legal and illegal.Here comes the concept of refugee,who are they?

-A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution,war or violence.

-two third of all refugees worldwide come from just five countries Syria,Afghanistan,South Sudan,Myanmar and Somalia.

PROVISIONS

-The bill amended the act to provide that Hindus,Sikhs,Buddhists,Parsis, and Christian from   Afghanistan,Pakistan and Bangladesh will not be treated as illegal migrants.

-In order to get the benefit they must have also been exempted from the foreigners act 1946 and the passport entry act 1920 by central government.

EXEMPTIONS

The Bill add that the provision on citizenship for illegal migrants will not apply to-

-the tribal areas of Assam,Manipur,Meghalaya and Tripura as included in the sixth schedule of the constitution.

-The areas under Inner Line Permit which regulates visits of Indian to Arunachal Pradesh,Mizoram and Nagaland will be extended to Mizoram as well.

VIOLATIONS AND SOLUTIONS

1)Violates Article 14-equality before law

   

Even if CAB is challenged on this law that art 14 is violated,it will stand the test of judicial scrutiny because when this challenge will be mounted before supreme court, the supreme court will say no as there is no one excluded from this law infact someone is being included.

2)Violates secularism

Secularism definition clearly states that protecting minorities and we are doing it so by protecting minorities from 3 different countries.So,basically strengthen secularism not violates it.

3)Art 15 (not to be discriminated on the basis of religion,caste,creed,gender)

Article 15 applies for citizen or any article,it does not apply to foreigners,that means this article applies only to citizen and this bill talks about giving citizenship to foreigners,how article 15 is being violated.   

4)But,there are others who say,why do you include only Hindus,Sikhs,Parsis etc,why don't you include shias  of Pakistan and  Afghanistan,why are you excluding them,why are you excluding ahmadias,who are persecuted in Pakistan,right?

The answer to this is very simple you have to understand the distinction between religious persecution and ethnic persecution.Intelligence differential would say not to club the religious minority with ethnic minorities.  

  

However,if we look at the basis of formation of our constitution secularism is included in the preambles of the constitution and morally this law labelled itself as-

-law on religion based classification.

-Country based classification as why only these three countries were chosen.

-failure of Assam Accords.

Story of 1962 and 1971

See,if we look at the 1962 conflict with China,there were plenty of signs for the Nehru government to realize the expansionist and territorial tendency of China.

The failure of Nehru government to read china correctly,lead India to ignore the warning signs,which were emerging from China and it lead India to believe that primary threat to its nation security is only from Pakistan.

There is no doubt that Pakistan did possess great threat to India's integrity.But,at the same time China should have also been seen as threat,because there were plenty of warning signs of its expansionist and territorial tendency.In 1950,when China annexed Tibet and in 1950 and 60,the manner in which China dismissed the McMahon line,and its increased claim over Aksai China and Arunachal Pradesh

it becomes clear that China possess same threat as Pakistan.But,we failed to anticipate and we ended up in paying a heavy price.

While in 1971,Indira Gandhi was mindful of the threat posed by other countries such as China and USA,during this period both USA and China were expected to extend complete support to Pakistan and even make a military move against India in support of Pakistan,because it has emerged as a key ally of both USA as well as China.

Because in late 1960,the then USA president Nixon,NSA(Henry Kisanger) they were seeking to re establish ties with China,and it was number one priority for USA and it was Pakistan which acted as an ally for Richard Nixon,and it helped bridge the relation between USA and China.

As India started making advances during 1971 war,the USA government threatened to dispatch the seventh fleet into Bay Of Bengal and it even pushed China to exert pressure on India,by launching military assault on Indo china border.But,thankfully Indira Gandhi government anticipated this collusion between Pakistan,USA and China and managed to secure an insurance policy with Soviet union,because it was the time of cold war,and until 1971, India had firmly remained non aligned,but this pushed India to abandoned the non aligned approach and align with Soviet Union and this lead to signing of historic treaty of peace and friendship between India and Soviet Union,under this treaty,the Soviet union promised to come to India's assistance,if ever threatened by USA and China,and this strategic,move of Indira Gandhi government helped India to secure unprecedented diplomatic military victory,and this was possible only when India took twin security threats possessed by both China and Pakistan simultaneously.
