“Space is for everybody. It’s not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That’s our new frontier out there, and it’s everybody’s business to know about space.”

ABSTRACT
The amendment to the constitution of any nation around the world is a sacrosanct procedure which is done in order to change the constitutional jurisprudence of the country and to meet the demands of the changing times. Whenever a constitution is amended many factors are taken into consideration to pass an amendment. These factors can be the will of the people or the need to incorporate the interpretation of the constitution by the constitutional courts; but, many a times these factors can also be political appeasement. This phenomenon is not seen in most countries, because most tend to amend the constitution for virtuous purposes to provide stability, whereas some choose not to because it is already stable. Constitutions should be amended, yes, but not hastily and frequently; it should be amended for the right purposes. At the same time its original identity, text, and intent are not be changed to give it an altered look.
“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” – James Baldwin

The damage caused by global warming and climate change to humankind as well as abiotic factors is widely known. The rate at which biodiversity is being lost, forests are cleared, rivers and skies are polluted is unprecedented. The detrimental effects on the health of the planet are being felt already.
The mindless pursuit of hard cash and tall-grey buildings has blinded humankind. The race towards self-destruction has been going on for a long time now. The future of this planet is seemingly bleak if adequate and urgent measures are not taken towards remedying the harm being caused to it.

More than half of the world’s population menstruates, which includes not only women but also transgender persons. Besides bleeding, such individuals suffer from other problems such as dysmenorrhea, poor coordination, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, etc. Menstruation is not much talked about in our society and hence related legislations are barely found or rarely cater for the needs of the hour.
A menstrual leave policy aims at providing 1 to 4 days leave for those menstruating individuals who suffer from unbearable period symptoms. While providing menstrual leave seems a great idea, a lot of women think it would make them look weak and would ultimately affect their work opportunities.
