🟢 Article 31 – Right to Property (Repealed)

  🟢 Article 31 – Right to Property (Repealed) English: Article 31 originally guaranteed the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right , but it was repealed by the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1978 . 🟥 Key Background (Before Repeal): Article 31 provided that: No person shall be deprived of his property except by authority of law. Property could be compulsorily acquired by the State for public purpose with compensation . Article 31 was often in conflict with land reform laws and Directive Principles like Article 39(b) & (c) — equitable distribution of resources. Landmark cases (e.g., Kameshwar Singh , Golaknath , Kesavananda Bharati ) debated how far the right to property could limit Parliament's power. 🟢 What happened after Repeal? Right to Property is no longer a Fundamental Right. It is now a Legal Right under Article 300A in Part XII of the Constitution. Citizens can approach High Courts , but not Supreme Court under Article 32, for viola...

NASA Dragonfly Mission

  The NASA Dragonfly Mission is an innovative and ambitious space exploration project aimed at studying Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan is one of the most Earth-like celestial bodies in our solar system, with a thick atmosphere and evidence of liquid lakes and organic compounds on its surface. These characteristics make Titan a prime candidate for the search for prebiotic chemistry and potential life beyond Earth. Scheduled for launch in 2027 , Dragonfly is expected to land on Titan by 2034 . What makes this mission unique is its use of a rotorcraft lander , which looks like a drone or helicopter. Unlike traditional rovers, Dragonfly can fly through Titan’s dense atmosphere and visit multiple locations, making it a mobile science laboratory. It will study the moon’s chemistry, geology, and atmospheric conditions, and help scientists understand whether Titan once had—or still has—the ingredients necessary for life. This mission represents a significant leap forward in sp...
