Should India adopt Dubai Model to control inflation? By:  Vijay SARDANA Around the world, inflation is a major threat to political stability in democratic countries, but it is a more serious threat to the ruling families in countries where there is no democracy. UAE's ruling family is trying its best to control inflation.  The UAE’s Ministry of Economy (MoE) has approved a new policy regarding the pricing mechanism for basic consumer goods in the country. Under this mechanism, these consumer goods are divided into two main groups. The first group consists of more than 11,000 commodities including fresh and dry milk, fresh chicken and eggs, bread, flour, sugar, salt, rice and legumes, cooking oil, mineral water and other items.

It is high time India must learn from the best practices around the world in appointing judges for the higher judiciary.  It is vital to ensure that people in a highly diversified society like India must respect the views and opinions of judges , or else there will be anarchy everywhere.  This is vital.

 WTO using the wrong yardsticks for Global Welfare and Climate Change By  Vijay SARDANA Advocate, Supreme Court of India Techno-legal Expert in Trade Matters The purpose of any multilateral treaty is global welfare. The WTO member countries are using trade volumes and money as yardsticks for welfare in place of the number of people involved in the economic activity and their welfare.

Covid vaccine for profit but does not support a cap on prices: When the world is suffering from the Covid, the Western world wants to exploit the disease for commercial gains by blocking IPR so that more vaccines can be developed.

According to a story from Bhagavata Purana, Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha are Vishnu's gatekeepers Jaya and Vijaya, born on earth as the result of a curse from the Four Kumara. According to Sources, the birthplace of Hiranyakashipu is Moolsthan (Present Day Multan in Pakistan). Who were the Four Kumaras?  The Kumaras are four sages (rishis) who roam the universe as children, from the Puranic texts of Hinduism, generally named Sanaka, Sanatana, Sanandana and Sanat kumara.
