“Death may be the greatest of all human blessings” – Socrates
The Supreme Court’s opening up of the Euthanasia debate asking for opinion from states and union territories alongwith the Times of India launching an online campaign in line, a year back, with the apex court’s decision to throw the issue open for debate can be considered a bold initiative. Now that the apex court wants government and legislature to examine the issue, it is expected that the matter be pursued with more vigour and thrust till it comes to a tangible result.

The Act was passed by Indian Parliament vide bill no. 95-F of 1959 Act, no, 33 of 1960 to make a special provision for protection of Scheduled Tribes under section no. 180.

This rapproachment will form the key part of Obama’s legacy although what President-elect Donald Trump calls in the future and the argument of the Republicans that Cuba should be made to offer more concessions in the realms of human rights, remains to be seen.

In its broadest sense, a citizen is a participatory member of a political community. A citizen of a nation-state is granted certain rights and privileges which are not available to aliens, and at the same time a citizen also has certain obligations towards the state. These rights and privileges are equally distributed among all the citizens of the state. Speaking of those who are within the territory of a democratic nation-state, the status of citizenship is of utmost importance and value. It is something to be cherished and held with pride.

Introduction
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) is one of the many special laws passed by the parliament which provides policing responsibility to deal with the special situation. The reason of which the special laws go beyond the normal laws is that the state considered the existing legal framework is not enough to deal adequately with threats to the national security. At the same time, the legal security regime and defence mechanism of the state has been violating citizenship rights conferred by the constitution by misusing the special powers. Initially, the Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers Act, 1958 enforced as a temporary measures to deal with the Naga insurgency in the Naga Hills District of Assam including the three sub-divisions of the tribal hill areas in the then Union Territory of Manipur.
