Abstract

The real estate sector in India serves as a crucial pillar of economic development, contributing substantially to the national GDP, generating employment, and fostering urbanization. Over the last two decades, India’s policy landscape on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in real estate has undergone a significant transformation. Initially characterized by stringent restrictions, the sector gradually witnessed liberalization, aimed at enhancing capital inflow, improving regulatory transparency, and bolstering infrastructural growth. This study critically examines the regulatory framework that governs FDI in India’s real estate sector, tracing its evolution through major policy shifts and reforms.

The research highlights landmark developments, such as the relaxation of sectoral caps, the introduction of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and the enactment of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). These reforms have played a pivotal role in building investor confidence and redefining the investment climate. An in-depth analysis of the current regulatory environment identifies both opportunities and structural challenges, particularly in relation to minimum capitalization requirements, exit norms, and sector-specific investment channels.

Furthermore, the paper investigates recent trends and patterns of FDI inflows into different segments of the real estate sector, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. It identifies major source countries—such as Singapore, Mauritius, and the United States—and highlights emerging investment destinations within India. The research also evaluates key factors influencing FDI flows, including economic liberalization, urban expansion, regulatory reforms, and global financial conditions.

Recent policy initiatives, such as easing FDI norms in affordable housing and infrastructure, the Smart Cities Mission, and the increasing formalization of the sector, are analyzed for their long-term implications. The study concludes that while regulatory liberalization has undoubtedly enhanced FDI participation, maintaining policy stability, strengthening governance frameworks, and aligning with global best practices will be critical for sustaining investor interest and accelerating growth in the coming years. Strategic recommendations are offered to ensure that the real estate sector remains an attractive destination for foreign investment.

ABSTRACT

Globalization has become a defining feature of the contemporary world, significantly transforming economic structures, business operations, and market dynamics. This research paper explores the dual impact of globalization on local businesses, focusing on both the opportunities it presents and the challenges it imposes. As international trade barriers reduce and technological innovations increase connectivity, local enterprises gain access to global markets, foreign investments, and knowledge exchange, enabling them to grow and innovate. However, these benefits are often counterbalanced by rising competition from multinational corporations, vulnerability to global market fluctuations, cultural homogenization, and legal complexities in international trade.

Using a doctrinal research methodology, this study examines relevant economic policies, legal frameworks, trade agreements, and case studies from developing economies to understand how globalization has affected local industries. The research highlights sectors that have benefitted from global integration and those that have struggled to survive. It also analyses the role of governments in protecting and promoting local businesses through supportive regulations, infrastructure development, and capacity-building initiatives.

The paper concludes that while globalization is inevitable and potentially beneficial, its impact on local businesses depends largely on the readiness of domestic enterprises to adapt and the effectiveness of state intervention. Strategic planning, innovation, and inclusive policies are essential to ensure that globalization becomes a tool for local empowerment rather than marginalization.

“RECONSTRUCTING TRICKERY”: SCANDAL AND THE MANIPULATION OF EMOTIONAL NARRATIVES IN DARIO FO’S ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST

Introduction

Scandals, by their very nature, disrupt the established order, peeling back layers of carefully constructed façades to reveal uncomfortable truths about power and its exercise. In the chaos that follows, those in charge will typically perform a fine dance of damage control, attempting to restore public trust and reestablish their hold.

A central ingredient in this game is the strategic manipulation of emotional narratives, drawing on shared fears and aspirations to influence public opinion and divert blame. Dario Fo’s groundbreaking play, Accidental Death of an Anarchist (1970), offers a satirical critique through which to view this process. Against the turbulent background of late 20^th Century Italy, with its political instability and threat of neo-fascist terrorism, the play focuses on the actual scandal of the death of anarchist railway workers Giuseppe Pinelli during police custody. The official ruling of his death as suicide was greeted with general suspicion , a rich soil for Fo’s biting critique of state power and its manipulative machinery. Through the deconstruction of the absurd efforts made by the police to construct a plausible story, Fo reveals the intentional “reconstruction of trickery uses by authorities to silence outraged citizens and hold on to power.

In Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist, the scandal surrounding Giuseppe Pinelli’s death becomes the focal point through which Fo satirically exposes the systematic “reconstruction of trickery” by state authorities, who employ the manipulation of emotional narratives, including the instillation of fear and the promise of order, as a calculated strategy to obscure their own culpability, deflect public outrage, and ultimately consolidate their political power in a climate of social and political unrest

BEST CITATION – VAIBAHV VASTI, WHITE COLLAR CRIME AND ITS JURISPRUDENCE IN INDIA, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (7) OF 2025, PG. 659-665, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

ABSTRACT

This study provides a comprehensive examination of past crimes that have taken place in India, along with the causes of such crimes. Researchers define herbivores as “individuals who commit crimes when their offenses are minor and limited to a certain administrative region.” Meat eaters participate in white collar crime and are present in practically every industry. The growth of technology and education, which is protected by professionals who take advantage of legal loopholes and covertly supported by the government, has led to an increase in white-collar crime. The connections started banding together, committing white-collar crimes, and obtaining legal protection. As a result, some small workers have become white collar criminals.

India’s high rate of white collar crime is rapidly permeating every aspect of the nation’s society. A type of white-collar crime that is commonly debated in social, political, and economic arenas of society is corruption. Nevertheless, no significant action has been made to counter this threat. The goals of this essay are to define white-collar crime, examine its historical evolution, and offer potential remedies. It’s about old. The criminal justice system did not exist in the ancient civilization. “Tooth for tooth, life for life” was innovative in the field of criminal justice. Public uproar also contributed to the proliferation of cheating. Scientific advancements are currently leading to the emergence of a new type of guilt known as cabin injury.

ABSTRACT

Natural disasters and slow environmental deterioration are just two of the effects of the growing climate crisis that are upsetting livelihoods, uprooting communities, and driving vulnerable groups farther into poverty. Conventional social security systems, which were largely created for welfare-state or industrial economies, are becoming more and more out of step with the new realities of a world afflicted by climate change. This article examines how the demands on social protection frameworks are changing due to climate change and evaluates how prepared the current systems are to adapt.

It highlights inequalities, innovations, and reform prospects by contrasting India’s social security systems with those of nations like Bangladesh, Germany, and Kenya. The study illustrates the disparities in how nations are incorporating climate concerns into their social systems by comparing India, Bangladesh, Germany, and Kenya. Schemes like MGNREGA and PM-KISAN have helped India make strides, but they are still insufficient to address the country’s growing climate vulnerability, particularly for internal migrants and informal laborers.

According to the essay, social security policies need to be redesigned to focus on preventive and adaptive measures rather than reactive relief since climate change must be seen as a fundamental socioeconomic risk. It urges a paradigm change from immediate disaster relief to long-term resilience building, stressing the necessity of portable benefits, disbursements related to early warning, and the engagement of communities impacted by climate change in policymaking. By doing this, the study provides a road map for creating welfare systems that are climate-proof and maintain justice, equity, and dignity in the face of environmental instability.
