The debates on the devolution of powers to the panchayats since the last two decades received enormous attention because of the increasing role played by these institutions in planning and implementation of the development programmes in rural India. But it is observed that devolution agenda including the agenda of fiscal devolution and tax decentralization has not been taken up sincerely in many states including the states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Based on the review of secondary data, the present article critically examines the status of the fiscal devolution to the panchayats in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. This article argues that both the states need to strengthen the own revenue of panchayats based on the recommendations of the Finance Commissions of the respective states. In this context, the process of tax decentralization and principles of sharing the state taxes should receive paramount importance.

The purpose of this research “United States strategy in Suppressing Iran's Nuclear Development” as a critical analysis related to the controversy over nuclear development conducted by Iran. In the history of Iran's nuclear development, the United States is one of the countries that fully support this nuclear development. However, the dynamics of relations between Iran and the United States are a factor in the status of nuclear development. As a result, Iranian attitudes and policies that are not in line with the United States will result in a decline in American support for Iran’s nuclear development. Finally, in 2018 the US announced its exit from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and decided to impose economic sanctions on Iran which coincided with Iranian support for Syria which was contrary to US political attitudes. This research uses qualitative research methods using secondary data such as books, journals, articles, and other sources to provide analysis of this case. This research results in a finding of efforts and strategies carried out by the United States to suppress Iran’s nuclear development. This was done because of two things, first, related to the interests of the United States in the Middle East. Iran’s political stance is often at odds with the politics of the United States. Second, reduce and maintain the hegemony of Israel as a close ally of the United States in the Middle East.

The regulation has an over-criminalization nuance that is detrimental to the constitutional rights of the Kejari. The research aims to analyze the role of the state in protecting the constitutional rights of the Kejari within the rule of law framework. The scope of the research describes the structure of values or norms in statutory regulations and the principles it adheres to. Legal principles are used in interpreting the Narcotics Law by linking it to the rule of law framework. The research method is normative legal research using secondary data. The results of the research revealed that the provisions in Article 141 and Article 91 paragraph (1) of the Narcotics Law have the potential to violate the constitutional rights of the Kejari. because it is not in accordance with the protection of constitutional rights in the institutional structure of the prosecutor's office, which may not be intervened in criminal law enforcement. In conclusion, the state plays a major role in implementing the protection of the constitutional rights of citizens and Kejari officials. The state is obliged to fulfill, respect and protect the constitutional rights of citizens. Institutionally, the state synergizes with the prosecutor's office must affirm the ethical and administrative areas concretely and limitatively, so as not to cause obscurity of norms and excessive criminalization of non-criminal acts to become criminal acts.

The Andhra Pradesh is one of the two states in the country to initiate democratic decentralisation process on the lines of Balawanta Rai Mehata Committee Report in 1959. The process of decentralisation in the state can be broadly divided into six phases. In every phase, the successive government, except during 1960s and 1970s where the PRIs positions were occupied by the rural upper class and upper castes, evaded the implementation of its own expert committees’ recommendations and undermined the PRIs and their leadership. This is more so when the OBCs and weaker sections, during 1990s, entered into these institutions through reservation or in the open competition, the state has curtailed the powers, funds, functionaries and the status of PRIs and made them ‘decorative ornaments’ or ‘institutions’. There have been no serious efforts made by Government, during the last five decades, to make the decentralisation process more meaningful in terms of empowerment of citizens and improvement in the delivery of services at the local level and to alter the rural socio-economic structure. The state leadership, which is controlled by the upper caste and class over the years in the state, is not willing to allow the marginalised sections of the society to participate in the development process of the state. Therefore, the decentralisation process in the state has to be understood more from the class and caste perspectives, along with the other variables such as economic reforms, conditionality of donor countries. Thus, the genuine empowerment of marginalised sections and also PRIs in the state is still a work-in-progress.

Proper sanitation, hygiene and cleanliness are some of the key indicators of quality of life. The present paper attempts to study the status of sanitation in rural Odisha and explore its determinants. The paper is based on both primary as well as secondary data. The relative position of districts in rural sanitation is analysed with help of census data. The analysis observes that there is a significant regional divide in ‘access to toilets’ across the districts of Odisha. The backward districts are lying way below the relatively advanced coastal districts of the state. Moreover, for an investigation at a disaggregated level, we had taken 109 households from a village cluster for a case study. The study observes that caste category, occupation and government subsidy are the important factors influencing the sanitary practices of the study areas. The paper advocates for continuance of government subsidy with better targeting, and a massive awareness drive by the government to change the sordid state of open defecation in the state.

It seems that there is lack of proper plan to deal with such pandemic situation. Conclusion: The State of Andhra Pradesh has taken various steps and strategy but it seems to be insufficient to give the desired results. The barriers of healthcare system and delivery of services should be rectified added with a proper dynamic plan to carry on usual health delivery services even in pandemics. The state of Andhra Pradesh needs to develop an exclusive plan such as separate RCH cadre to tackle such situations. Keywords- Health, Decrease, Pandemic, Services/service

El presente artículo plantea que la migración ilegalizada que transita por las fronteras y territorios del sur de México, proveniente sobre todo del Triángulo Norte Centroamericano, transita también por múltiples violencias. Proponemos entender dichas violencias desde la figura del Estado, analizada de forma crítica, señalando su responsabilidad por acción, omisión y complicidad con estas. Asimismo, presentamos testimonios recabados en el trabajo de campo, que muestran cómo las personas migrantes, sus familias y comunidades experimentan estas violencias. Finalmente, sugerimos pensar en órdenes políticos, sociales y culturales que conciban la migración con dignidad. Abstract The present article rises that the illegal migration which journeys by the borders and territories of the south of Mexico, that comes mainly from the Central American North Triangle, also journeys through multiple kinds of violence. We propose a critical analysis to understand these specific kinds of violence from the figure of the State, indicating its responsibility by action, omission and complicity with it. We also present testimonies, obtained in the fieldwork, that show how the migrants, their families and communities experience this violence. Finally, we suggest thinking about political, social and cultural orders that conceive migrating with dignity.

Even after seven decades of India’s independence, the status of the Dalits remain unchanged where caste system, along with the practice of untouchability, remains a universal phenomenon of rural India, and the state of Odisha is not an exception. Among various issues that the Dalits in the state are facing, the greatest problem is that they are not allowed to worship inside some of the temples even today, by the upper caste Hindus. Against this flagitious practice, voices from the marginalized concerned have been raised time and again. However, like other states, the state of Odisha has not witnessed a strong all-Odisha Dalit movement either in colonial or in postcolonial period. But this does not mean that Dalits in the state are silently tolerating all caste oppressions and are not conscious; rather, they have protested against the dominant castes from time to time. There are different phases of Dalit protest literature and movements in the state from precolonial period to the present day. The state has witnessed some small, sporadic and scattered Dalit movements, and protest literature against the caste system and untouchability in the past, but these remained limited within the form of literature and religion due to various reasons. In this juncture, an endeavour has been made in this article to articulate and unify these small sporadic Dalit movements and protest literatures into a theoretical account by building coherency and continuity in its nature and spirit.
