  Utility of Nuclear Deterrence Theory The nuclear deterrence theory was put forward by  Bernard Brodie . During the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the nuclear weapons were merely treated as a better version of conventional weapons but eventually, these came to be thought of as ‘the absolute weapon’ which led the idea of deterrence to emerge. Brodie stated that in order to create a link between deterrence and emerging non-military threats, there is a need to come up with a mechanism that would encompass present and future military and non-military threats. The focus of nuclear deterrence theory was that the imminent destruction that is guaranteed with the use of nuclear weapons coupled with the risk of retaliation would deter states from using them.  One of the major examples of this theory is the  Cuban missile crisis of 1962 .

  Bottom of Form Top of Form Bottom of Form Marriage and its Legal Consequences                 India is a secular country in which citizens have the constitutional right to practice and propagate any religion they wish. In India, there are a variety of religious personal rules that govern marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant that binds two individuals together for their entire lives. Marriage was originally viewed as a social institution to prevent men from engaging in unlimited polygamy and to establish paternity for their children. The state has made rules to control every element of human life over the years, and marriage is no exception. Marriages in India are governed by the personal laws of the religion practised by the parties to the marriage. The Special Marriage Act of 1954 and the Foreign Marriage Act of 1969, respectively, govern inter-religious and inter-national weddings. As a result, we have laws that govern the necessary elements for lawful marriage, grounds for divo

 Indian forests and their need for preservation Forests are considered as an essential part of nature they serve as a pivotal resource to our nation as they provide all the raw materials to the industry such as wood timber fuel and fodder they also act as a habitat for the wildlife of our country. Sadly as the time is passing these forests have been disappearing at an alarming rate due to their continuous exploitation the ideal landmass for the forests in India should be 33% of the total area but in reality it only covers 21.67% of the land area. There are numerous reasons which have caused this devastation of forests and their exploitation at a mass scale the contributors such as increasing population, industrialization , urbanization and increasing demand of wood fodder fuel have decreased the population of forests at an alarming rate. Therefore it is mandatory to have legislations governing the usage of forests and vegetation of our nation in order to protect and preserve them. Hist
