You’ve probably heard of shell companies, tax havens and offshore trusts. But how common are they? How many people use these techniques as a way to squirrel away money from the prying eyes of taxpayers, governments and non billionaires? What exactly did these Panama Papers reveal?
More than a year ago, journalists at
Süddeutsche Zeitung, a German newspaper, received an unusual offer. An anonymous source, known only as "John Doe," claimed to have vital, damaging information on the illegal financial transactions of the global elite — celebrities, athletes, Mafioso, royalty, heads of state and more. even Jackie Chan was implicated in these files. Shortly after the revelations hit, the Prime Minister of Iceland went on leave. David Cameron was excoriated in the British press. China censored any reporting of the papers. And that's just the beginning. The information revealed became the largest single leak in human history. Over 11.5 million files, 2.6 terabytes of documents from the 1970s to 2015, all from the same place: a Panamanian law firm known as Mossack Fonseca. Collectively,these documents are known as the Panama Papers. Before this month, it's safe to say the average person probably hadn't heard of this firm. Founded in 1977, Mossack Fonseca specializes in the construction of offshore business structures, often called shell companies. In the worst cases, these businesses would be facades — fake as the store fronts in a stage play, based in a tax haven and used solely as a way to hide money from the authorities. While it's important to note that these business structures are not inherently illegal, in many cases the documents indicate criminal activity. Tax evasion may be a common thread, but the money hidden in some of these offshore entities is also connected to bribery, corruption, organized crime and bank heists. Mossack Fonseca, for their part, argues they've done nothing wrong.

Unity in diversity here is the real prosperity and the way to progress in the present and future.===================================
Ladakh’s beautiful mountains might be a paradise for tourists, but ask the locals who have to struggle to meet their basic water needs every year.
Chewang Norphel put his engineering skills to a better use and createdartificial glaciers to provide water in this coldand dry mountainous region. Know more about his remarkably innovative technology and how it works.
Chewang Norphel, a 79-year old retired civil engineer, has always been a solution provider. The story goes back to 1966 when he was posted in Zanskar, one of the most backward and remote areas in Ladakh, as Sub Divisional Officer. He, along with his team, had to construct school buildings, bridges, canals, roads etc. in that area. The task was very difficult to execute due to lack of skilled labour.So he started doing the masonry work himself and trained a few villagers to help him.
After some years, when he went back to that village, he found out that the villagers hehad trained had become perfectmistryand were earning handsome salaries.Chewang Norphel
“It gave me a great pleasure. I was happy to see that a little support from my side had changed their lives,” Norphel says. This was just the beginning of the wonders he was destined to do.Today, he is called the “Ice Man of India”andhas created 10 artificial glaciers in Ladakh tohelp people deal with water scarcity in this cold, mountainous region.Ladakh, a beautiful location with magnificentscenery around and exquisite beauty, takes everyone’s breath away. But, it is not the same with the people of Ladakh as the cold, dry and infertile land makes their lives harderthan we could imagine.Fortunately, the situation is slowly changing as Ladakh now has artificial glaciers to meettheir needs and people have Norphel to thankfor his amazing contribution.The important thing is to control the velocity of the water.Born in 1936, Norphel comes from a farming background and has served in the government service for more than 36 years before he had to take an early retirement dueto his bad health. Being at home was not something Norphel enjoyed doing, and at the same time, the poor living conditions in Ladakh constantly troubled him. He thought of putting his engineering skills to a better use.
“Almost all the villages in Ladakh have roads,culverts, bridges, buildings or irrigation systems made by me,”says Norphel. But his biggest contribution came in the form of artificial glaciers.Being a cold mountain desert, Ladakh sees alow average rainfall of 50 mm annually making people dependent upon glaciers as their primary water source.Graphical representation of how an artificial glacier works.80 percent of the population depends on farming, and their main source of irrigation water is the water that comes from the melting of snow and glaciers. Because of global warming, the glaciers are receding quickly and as a result, farmers face a lot of difficulty in getting adequate water. On the other hand, a lot of water gets wasted during the winter months as, due to the severe cold climate, farmers cannot grow any crops in that season.“So I thought that if we could conserve this water in the form of ice, it can be of help to farmers to some extent during theirrigation period, particularly during the sowing season. The artificial glaciers, being quite close to the villages, melt earlier than the natural glaciers. Also, getting water during the sowing period is the most crucial concern of the farmers because the natural glaciers start meltingin the month of June and sowing starts inApril and May,” he says.
The idea first came to him when he saw water dripping from a tap which was kept open so as to avoid the water from freezing in winter and bursting the tap. The water gradually froze into the shape of an ice sheetas it came in touch with the ground and made a pool.It struck him that the water that melts from natural glaciers due to high temperatures in summer goes to waste as it flows into the river. Instead, if this water can be stored in summer and autumn so that it can form a glacier in winter, then this artificial glacier would melt in spring and provide water to thevillagers at the right time.It was now time for action, and he put all his engineering knowledge, field experience and passion to work.
He started his first experiment in Phutse village. He made canals to divert the water from the main stream to small catchment areas located four kms away from the village. He also created a shaded area to keep the water frozen in winters.These glaciers are constructed in a shade to prevent them from melting quickly.
And, as these glaciers are located at a lower altitude of 13,000 feet as compared to the original glaciers which are located at 18,000 feet, they start melting earlier than the mainstream ones and provide water to the villagers when they need it the most in April.“The main technique used to create artificial glaciers is to control the velocity of water as much as possible. The region is a hilly area and that is why the gradientof streams is very steep. As a result, in the main streams the water usually does not freeze. So what we have done is we have diverted the water to a shadow area by constructing a diversion channel with a mild grade. When it reaches the site, thewater is released downward of the hill, distributing it in a small quantity so that the velocity can be minimized, and side by side we have constructed ice retainingwalls in series to store the frozen water.
This is the entire methodology of the artificial glacier,” he explains.Retaining walls are built to contain the frozen water.His first project cost him Rs.90,000. The width of the glacier ranges generally from 50 to 200 feet and the depth from 2 to 7 feet. This low cost model used only locally sourced material and help from the local community. Norphel has successfully built 10 glaciers so far. The smallest one is 500 feet long in Umla and the largest is 2 km longin Phutse.
His efforts have increased the agricultural production, thereby increasing the income of the locals. This has also reduced the migration to cities. His simple technique has brought water closer to the villages, and most importantly, made it available when thevillagers need it the most.In the future, he wants to continue making the glaciers and plans to build in other areas like Lahol, Spiti, Zangskar, etc. The only thingthat comes as a challenge is lack of adequate funds.“As you sow, so you reap. There is no doubt that if one has strong determination and dedication, there is nothing impossible in the world. That is what I believe,” Norphel says.His simple idea has received acclaim across the globe and he has proved that if man is the one responsible for disturbing nature, he also has the capacity to save it. You just need the right intention to do so.

किंजल सिंह घर में धमाचौकड़ी मचाने और
गुडिय़ों से खेलने की उम्र में वह लड़की मां के साथ
बलिया से दिल्ली तक का सफर पूरा करके सुप्रीम
कोर्ट आती और पूरा दिन अदालत में बैठने के बाद
रात में फिर उसी सफर पर निकल जाती. तब उसे
अंदाजा भी नहीं रहा होगा कि यह संघर्ष पूरे 31
साल तक चलने वाला है. यह जद्दोजहद 5 जून, 2013
को उस समय जाकर खत्म हुई जब लखनऊ में
सीबीआइ की विशेष अदालत ने अपना फैसला
सुनाया. अदालत ने कहाः 1982 को 12-13 मार्च
की दरमियानी रात गोंडा के डीएसपी (किंजल के
पिता) के.पी.सिंह की हत्या के आरोप में 18
पुलिसवालों को दोषी ठहराया जाता है. जिस
वक्त फैसला आया, किंजल बहराइच की डीएम बन
चुकी थीं.
पिता की हत्या के समय वे महज छह माह की थीं
जबकि उनकी छोटी बहन प्रांजल का जन्म पिता
की मौत के छह माह बाद हुआ. उनकी मां विभा
सिंह इंसाफ के लिए अकेली लड़ती रहीं. डीएसपी
सिंह आइएएस बनना चाहते थे और उनकी हत्या के
कुछ दिन बाद आए परिणाम में पता चला कि
उन्होंने आइएएस मुख्य परीक्षा पास कर ली थी.
किंजल बताती हैं, “जब मां कहती थीं कि वे
दोनो बेटियों को आइएएस अफसर बनाएंगी तो
लोग उन पर हंसते थे.” बनारस में कोषालय
कर्मचारी विभा सिंह की तनख्वाह का
ज्यादातर हिस्सा मुकदमा लडऩे में चला जाता
था.
इस बीच किंजल को दिल्ली के लेडी श्रीराम
कॉलेज में प्रवेश मिल गया. यहां ग्रेजुएशन के पहले
ही सेमेस्टर के दौरान पता चला कि उनकी मां को
कैंसर है और वह अंतिम स्टेज में है. कीमोथैरेपी के कई
राउंड से गुजर कर विभा सिंह की हालत बेहद
खराब हो गई थी लेकिन बेटियों को दुनिया में
अकेला छोड़ देने के डर से वे अपने शरीर से लगातार
लड़ रही थीं. किंजल बताती हैं, “एक दिन डॉक्टर
ने मुझसे कहा, “क्या तुमने कभी अपनी मां से पूछा है
कि वे किस तकलीफ से गुजर रही हैं?” जैसे ही मुझे
इस बात का एहसास हुआ, मैंने तुरंत मां के पास
जाकर उनसे कहा, मैं पापा को इंसाफ
दिलवाऊंगी, “मैं और प्रांजल आइएएस अफसर बनेंगे
और अपनी जिम्मेदारी निभा लेंगे. आप अपनी
बीमारी से लडऩा बंद कर दो. मां के चेहरे पर सुकून
था. कुछ ही देर बाद वे कोमा में चली गईं और कुछ
दिन बाद उनकी मौत हो गई.” यह बात है 2004
की.
किंजल को मां की मौत के दो दिन बाद ही
दिल्ली लौटना पड़ा क्योंकि उनकी परीक्षा
थी. उसी साल किंजल ने दिल्ली यूनिवर्सिटी
टॉप किया. इस बीच उन्होंने छोटी बहन को भी
दिल्ली बुला लिया और मुखर्जी नगर में फ्लैट
किराए पर लेकर दोनों बहनें आइएएस की तैयारी में
लग गईं. किंजल बताती हैं, “हम दोनों दुनिया में
अकेले रह गए. हम नहीं चाहते थे कि किसी को भी
पता चले कि हम दुनिया में अकेले हैं.” 2008 में दूसरे
प्रयास में किंजल का चयन आइएएस के लिए हो
गया, उसी साल प्रांजल पहले ही प्रयास में
आइआरएस के लिए चुन ली गईं. फिलहाल किंजल
लखनऊ में विशेष सचिव हैं. अपनी मां को अपना
आदर्श मानने वाली किंजल कहती हैं, “यह लड़ाई मैं
अपने मौसा-मौसी और प्राजल के बगैर नहीं लड़
पाती.”

Bhagat Singh was born on September 28, 1907, in Banga village of Jaranwala Tehsil in the Lyallpur district of Punjab province of undivided India. His birthplace today falls in Pakistan.Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary freedom fighter and one of the major inspirationalfigures of the Indian Independence movement. Though briefly affiliated to MK Gandhi's movement of non-violent struggle, Singh later became disillusioned with Gandhi's philosophy. Brutality of the British Raj convinced him that non-violence was not the right answer. When Gandhi called off his Non-cooperation Movement following the Chauri Chaura incident where a mob turned violentand burnt policemen alive, it made a significant impact on Bhagat Singh's mind.One of the most interesting instances of usurption of an icon in the cultural-political space of India has been thatof Bhagat Singh. He became the preserve of cultural nationalists and right-wing groups who called him theideal Indian. In his own life though, Singh embraced atheism and was deeply influenced by Karl Marx and Lenin. Key components of Marxism-Leninism were incorporated in his idea of revolutionary struggle. Under hisleadership, the Kirti Kissan Party was renamed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Organisation. Singh and his organisation was criticised by Gandhi himself who thought that the use of violencewould set the freedom movement back.Socialism and secularism were perhaps Singh's most important contributions to the Indian freedomstruggle. It was particularly contextual as Singh understood that British imperialism thrived on divide and rule, by fomenting tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Bhagat Singh removed hisbeard, forbidden by his religion, as he did not want to be confined to a community. Britishimperialism, to him, was a scourge for all Indians, irrespective of their faith, caste and creed. And in more than one place, he talked about how the ideaof colonialism and imperialism were antithetical to the notions of freedom. Singh's ideology was, thus,not just confined to India. Profusely well-read and interested in debates and theatre workshops,there was an international perspective to his ideas.It is believed as well as disputed whether Singh wasinvolved in plottingthe 1928 killing of John P. Saunders, who was mistakenly assassinated by the Shivaram Rajguru, Sukhdev Thapar, Jai Gopal and Chandrashekhar Azad in Lahore. But he knew the group well and planned their escape. Azad had reorganised the Hindustan Republican Association under the new name of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association with Singh's help, another pointer to the Leftist orientation of these famed revolutionary fighters.On April 8, 1924, Baghat Singh and friend BK Dutt hurled two bombs on to the floor of the Central Delhi Hall in New Delhi while the Central Legislative Assembly was in session. This plan was okayed at a top meeting of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association leadership. The bombs were hurled away from individuals so as not to cause any harm to anyone. Following the explosions in which no one was hurt, Singh and Dutt started showering leaflets which became famous as as "The Red Pamphlet". The pamphlet began with a passage which was to become legendary in the Indian revolutionary struggle:"It takes a loud voice to make the deaf hear, with these immortal words uttered on asimilar occasion by Vaillant, a French anarchist martyr, do we strongly justify thisaction of ours."Singh and Dutt ended the pamphlet with the words: "Long Live the Revolution!""Inquilab Zindabad"became one of themost enduring slogans of the Indian Independence Movement. It later on became the warcry for workers' and peasants' and trade union movements in India.
