Agriculture was the initial stage in the development of human civilization. As a result, agriculture with plant and agricultural practises, in contrast to business and commerce, has historically predated any sort of intellectual property right (IPR) protection. Agricultural practises have historically not made advantage of the IPR. In more recent times, this perspective has shifted, and agriculture has come to be seen more and more as an industry that cannot persist because it lacks research and development as well as intelligent investment. The preservation of biological resources will be essential to ensuring the continued availability of food for future generations. The origin of a number of important genes is an important piece of biological capital. Researchers hope to generate new plant kinds that can withstand significant changes in the weather, have a higher agricultural yield, and other desirable characteristics. The protection of intellectual property rights in crop species as well as the rights of landowners and other individuals is the topic of discussion in this article. In addition to this, it addresses recent developments and developments in recent IP methods, as well as the application of IP laws in agriculture and forestry.

Marriage is a social institution which is given heightened importance in society at large 1. In last two-three decades the institution of marriage has lost its sanctity into the eyes of society at large because of the group of people known as the misandry. If we look at the past then we get puzzled by the worsening of this institution through passage of time. The institution of marriage has in the passage of time has changed itself to fit the demands of time. Marriage as an institution has different connotations in different societies. Let us forget about the different societies and talk about the different time spans through which this institution has been worsened by the people in a drastic manner. The structural and functional aspect of marriage as an institution has turned from simple to complex. What can be the reason of this situation? The author will try to justify this through certain societal aspects and data in a dissentient manner. Indian society is very sensitive pertaining to the institution of marriage but this has become unwonted in few metro cities of India these days. The author will not discuss what marriage is, how it is being practised but will try to discuss the inner subject matter of it and its interior sensitivity and how it has gone affected in a matter of time. Marital rape is one of such example wherein the institution of marriage is again targeted by the group of people who is known to be misandry.

The media, through newspapers, television and the internet has an important role to play in the context of hate speech. Of all the above mentioned media, the Internet with its potentially far reaching and provocative effects, has allowed the fuelling of such campaigns through active propaganda as well as irresponsible coverage. The features that make the Internet so unique have increasingly been manipulated to benefit the needs of those who spread hate-filled propaganda. There have always been individuals who have sought to degrade others in society and to brand them less than equal. Racists and hate-mongers have tried to use all available forms of communication to spread their messages and have been tremendously successful in using the Internet for those purposes since the 1990s. There is a fine line between the exchange of values and ideas and the perpetuation of hate in the form of degradation and violence. Despite this fine distinction, judicial institutions across the world have continued to evaluate the legality of online hate speech on the basis of antiquated legislations and jurisprudential concepts. Take for instance, the US Supreme Court decision in Reno v. ACL 1 wherein the Court held that the interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship. This approach has been criticised by legislators and academic commentators alike on the basis that the existing judicial and regulatory structures are no longer appropriate in the context of the hate speech issue. With existing laws becoming less significant with respect to problems in cyberspace, there is a push to revitalize or restructure present approaches in dealing with hate speech on the Internet. Thus, there is a need to examine the private policing of the Internet by involvement of Internet Service Providers or industry associations (like in the United Kingdom).

This research article highlights the need for India to take advantage of the wealth-building potential provided by its superstars. It addresses the existing status of Indian law governing celebrity rights and suggests the creation of laws to make the rules clearer and enable India to gain from the value created by its superstars. Celebrities need a system they can trust to safeguard their image rights both in India and throughout the world. This article suggests that laws be created and put into effect in India to improve the country's capacity to generate income from both domestic and foreign celebrities. A crucial aspect is the need for legislation to establish an Image Rights Registry in India, which might help to boost the local economy and play a significant role in governance.
