Inequality in education is linked to the major problems in the society. The need for studies to be done to find ways of overcoming these inequalities is very inevitable. The means of mitigating these inequalities are important for the entire world. This is something of great interest due to the fact that children need quality education which is a pillar for a guaranteed future. Equality in education will to a large extent, guarantee every human being a better position in the society. Causes of inequality in education range from poor government policies, capitalistic nature of society to poor management of education systems. This paper is very important as it brings out major causes of inequality and how they can be addressed.

The past studies show that inequality in education is something which is virtually everywhere around the world. Inequality in education can be linked to the low rate of development in the society. Social problems faced in different parts of the world also point to a certain degree, the inequality in education. Education inequality brings with it problems which governments and nations have tried to solve but in vain.

There are a number of issues which play a major role towards the promotion of inequality in education. For instance, tribal and racial lines used in the provision of education have been a major cause of inequality. This has brought about disparity between individuals who get quality education and those are sidelined in the process. In some countries with different races, education is provided in a manner which is unequal. This is manifested when one gender is favored in terms of the education at the expense of the other.

Another important thing is with the provision of education to the disabled children and individuals the less fortunate within in the society. In the provision of such education, individuals with disabilities are often sidelined. This has become one of the outstanding causes of inequality with the kind of in education that is being provided. When the disabled are not given the education they do require, it becomes very hard for them to have equality in education compete on equal basis with the normal people. Inequality in education has been noted in very many parts of the world and hence it is necessary to come up with appropriate solutions. It is only when education has been is provided equally on equal basis to all when, can societal goals and other developments tends get to be easily realized.

The three most important events of human life are equally devoid of reason: birth, marriage and death. ~ Austin O’Malley

Definition of marriage:

The dictionary defines marriage as “The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife.” The definition of marriage can be looked at from a legal perspective. A legal dictionary defines marriage as “the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a legal, consensual, and contractual relationship recognized and sanctioned by and dissolvable only by law.” Legally, marriage is a binding contract between the two parties that joins together their possessions, income, and lives.

Marriage Under Personal Law

Marriage, according to the Hindu Law,

Marriage is a body for the performance of religious duties. It is deemed as a holy union in Hindu Law. It is also considered to be an union of flesh and flesh and blood and blood. It is a religious sacrament and not a civil contract.

Marriage, according to the Muslim law:

Quran states “every person must marry”. Quran asserts that marriage is the only way to satisfy one’sdesire. Marriage (niqah) is defined to be a contract which has for its object the procreation and the legalizing of children.

The European Convention on Human Rights:

The ECHR states that all men and women, who have reached the age at which they can legally marry, have the right to get married and to start a family.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) sets out a list of fundamental rights and freedoms which are believed to be common to all people. The ECHR lists these rights in numbered’ Articles’.

Article 8 of the ECHR concerns an individual’s right to respect for their private and family life.

Article 12: Right to marriage

Men and women of marriageable age shall have the right to marry and to found a family, according to national laws governing the exercise of this right.

Indian Perspective:

The right to marry is a component of right to life under Article 21 of Constitution of India which says, “No person shall be deprived of his life and personal liberty except according to procedure established by law”. 

Kerala has the highest literacy rate in India. Yet when a girl decided to convert to another religion and marry by her own choice, it became a matter of debate for the entire nation.

In the bizarre case of Hadiya, she converted to Islam and got married to a Muslim man. Hadiya was 25 years old when she got married . On 24th May 2017, the Kerala High Court annulled the marriage of Hadiya (previously known as Akhila) and Shafin Jahan.

Her father has filed a petition before Kerala High Court as he claimed that she was allegedly coerced into adopting Islam as her religion and might be trafficked to Syria.

The Kerala High Court, after admitting the petition filed by her father, granted Hadiya’s custody to her parents. Absurdly, while rendering this order, Kerala High Court observed that “we are not satisfied that it is safe to let Akhila free to decide what she wants in her life.”

Later on the High Court’s decision was challenged by Hadiya’s husband, who filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court, that ordered an NIA probe in the matter. 

On November 27th 2017, the apex court took Hadiya’s testimony in open court and freed her from her father’s custody. The Supreme Court allowed Hadiya to continue her studies in a Salem college and to live with her husband. 

Choice of religion is a personal choice of a person. If the court does not allow a person to freely choose his religion, it amounts to a violation of his or her fundamental right as guaranteed under the Constitution of India.

At 18, a woman in India can vote, marry, have a child, take up a job and drive. Then why there is so much of fuss when a Hindu decided to convert to Islam. Why is the right to freedom of religion veiled under the garb of ‘love jihad’. Denying Hadiya her right mocks the notion of adulthood.

India has a diverse culture, and religion and caste are an integral part of our society. Society still frowns on inter-caste marriages. India still largely follows the ancient and rigid structure of the caste system.

Conclusion

Legally, every young person has right to marry and to enter into a marriage contract.arriage is the foundation of a family as well as social relations. A couple owes a great responsibility to the family and society.Right to marriage is provided under human right charter that to under the heading of” Right to have family”.

In Indian Constitution this right not expressly mention. But it is interpretated under Article21 .Right to marry is universal right .It is available to all persons. Marriage right is recognized at international level .Marriage right is mentioned under various covenant . Indian constitution provides for right to marry but it is not fundamental right.

 Pinhole images: Pinhole photography on the other hand is the capturing of those images and shapes using no lens. A tiny hole replaces the lens. Light passes through the hole and an image is formed in the back wall of the camera. The image is of course upside down because light travels in straight lines
and therefore crosses at the aperture (hole). If an outdoor scene is seen, the sky is at the bottom and ground at the top.
Objects reflect light in all directions, and that rays from the top of an object, when passing through a hole, will produce the lower part of an image.
This is how first image was invented.  Camera obscura effect
The term camera obscura (“dark room”) was coined by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630). At this time, the term had come to mean a room, tent or box with a lens aperture used by artists to draw a landscape. The lens made the image bighter and focused at a certain distance. Thus this type of camera differed from the pinhole camera obscura used by Frisius in 1544. In the 1620s Johannes Kepler invented a portable camera obscura. Camera obscuras as drawing aids were soon found in many shapes and sizes. Both artists and painters used them. During the 19th century several large scale camera obscuras were built as places of education and entertainment.
The meniscus lens, superior to the bi-convex lens, improved the quality of the projected images.  The magic lantern
The magic lantern, a projector with a future that would inevitably become one of the most famous and entertaining inventions in history.
he magic lantern was the forerunner of our current day slide projector and overhead. It however, was without motion. Void of fluidity yet electrifying and
exhilarating in it’s presentation, this little tin box with a chimney was only one of many vital components that make up the art of seeing pictures “move”.
And they all have their special place in the story, and history of cinematography.  The phantasmagoria In the last 18th century The Phantasmagoria shows were often held in old run-down monasteries and chapels to add to the effect. The dark and somber surroundings were ideal for special effects much like those created through Dolby surround sound and darkened theatres of today. Showmen used waxed
sheets to catch images from “moving” lanterns on wheels and smoky rooms allowed images to float and “hang” in the air.  Persistence Of Vision
The first modern steps toward motion pictures were those taken in the direction of the study of persistence of vision. The investigation of this subject appears to have been conducted on a serious note by Peter Mark Roget in 1824. Roget presented a scientific paper detailing his studies and called it `Persistence of Vision with Regard to Moving Objects’. The phenomenon itself was not only known in the 19th century. When digging deep into the history of any subject we can be
astounded at what we find. In 1832 Joseph A. F. Plateau and Simon Ritter von Stampfer in Vienna, Austria, independently of one another, discovered an identical method for creating the illusion. They used flat disks which were perforated with a number of evenly spaced slots. Around the rim of the disk were an equal number of hand-drawn figures. Each figure showed successive phases of movement. Holding the device with the figures facing a mirror, the viewer spun the disk and looked through the slots. The figures reflected in the mirror appeared to move. Plateau’s device, the phenakistoscope, and Stampfer’s, the stroboscope, led to the invention of more elaborate devices using the same principle, such as the zoetrope.  Photography One of the most important constituents in the discovery of motion pictures was the photograph.

Cinematography is a blend of science and art used to capture, manipulate and store moving images for the purpose of creating a motion picture.
The person responsible for the technical process that gives a film its unique look and feel is called the cinematographer or director of
photography (DP). The DP works closely with the film’s director, who is responsible for ensuring that the actors, set and technical choices made
by the DP accurately reflect the script’s intentions. In many instances, particularly smaller budget films, the director of photography will also serve
as the camera operator.
Many of the same cinematic goals for example, engaging the viewer and manipulating emotions are used in both film and digital cinematography.
Consider, for example, the depth of focus and framing. The first part of these, the depth of focus, refers to how much of the image on the screen, or
frame, is in focus and how much is blurry. By having subjects closer to the camera in sharp focus and those in the background blurry, the eye is
drawn to the foreground. Alternatively, having both near and distance objects in sharp focus gives equal weight to both. The director of
photography can choose to alternate focus from foreground to background to heighten a sense of tension or to make a revelation to the viewer and
the character in the foreground. Camera angle is another important consideration the cinematographer must consider. Scenes shot from a low-to-
high angle, for example, can make the subject seem either foreboding or powerful.
The technical aspects the cinematographer must consider include the aspect ratio, depth of focus and framing, color, lighting, camera angle, frame
rate, film stock (for example, 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, and 65mm) and special effects (FX). Each of these technical aspects requires specific
equipment and settings on that equipment to achieve the desired results. It is the technical aspect of film making that has changed most over the
years.

The Teej festival is an important festival for married women, and much anticipated monsoon festival. It’s dedicated to celebrating the holy union of Lord Shiva and Goddess ParvatiAccording to Hindu texts, Parvati is an incarnation of Lord Shiva’s first wife, Sati. Lord Shiva became grief-stricken and withdrawn after she immolated herself in protest of her father’s disapproval of him. It took her 108 subsequent births to bring Shiva out of his meditative state and get him to accept her as his wife again. Her 108th birth was as Goddess Parvati. The invocation of Parvati’s blessing during the festival is believed to bring about continued marital bliss.

When is the Festival Celebrated?
“Teej” refers to the third day after the new moon and the third day after the full moon, every month. During the monsoon season, these festivals are celebrated on the third day of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Shravan, and on the third day of the waning and waxing moons in the Hindu month of Bhadrapad. This means that there are actually three Teej festivals — known as Haryali (Green) Teej, Kajari.
Where is the Festival Celebrated?
The Teej festival is widely celebrated in northern and western India, particularly in the desert state of Rajasthan. From a tourist perspective, the best place to experience it is in Jaipur, where the festivities are the grandest and most renowned during Haryali Teej.
How is the Festival Celebrated?
Women come together to fast and pray all night. In the morning, they bathe to purify themselves, and dress up in their finest red saris and jewelry to worship Goddess Parvati. They also get their hands decorated with henna, accompanied by the singing of special Teej festival songs. Swings are fixed to branches of large trees, and the women take turns to joyfully swing on them. The Teej festival is a very uplifting occasion.

The monsoon season in India is an invigorating time, as it gives us a much needed break from the scorching heat which lasts throughout the year. The monsoon can be very refreshing but the heavy rains also provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes which can cause diseases such as malaria and dengue. Hence, it is extremely important to take care of your health and get an annual preventive health checkup. Here are a few monsoon health tips to prevent you from falling sick.

1. Loading up on probiotics and vegetables
   Do not eat raw vegetables as they may contain bacteria and viruses which can lead to severe infections such as stomach pains, food poisoning, which is also a common summer disease, and diarrhoea. It is advisable to stick to boiled and steamed vegetables as they are healthy and contain a lot of proteins, fibre and other nutrients. This can help reduce skin conditions like acne which is common during the monsoon season. Consuming milk products such as yoghurt and buttermilk that are high in nutrition is also important to prevent illness during the rainy season
2. Consuming bitter food
   Food such as gourd, neem seeds, dandelion greens and herbal teas can remove toxins and boost your immunity levels. These types of food are also rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium and iron which are essential for an individual to become healthy and strong. Since many people experience illnesses and allergies during the monsoon, building up immunity can go a long way in preventing them.
3. Homemade fruit juices
   Homemade fruit juices such as apple and orange juice are not only delicious but also have a lot of health benefits to help prevent you from falling ill this monsoon. Apple juice helps clean up the toxins present in the liver and also increases pH levels and prevents any stomach issues. Orange juice is considered one of the healthiest beverages as it increases immunity, boosts metabolism and detoxifies the body. It also reduces the risk of diseases such as malaria and diarrhoea which is very common in the monsoon season.
4. Use insect repellents
   Try to avoid walking on pavements and roads filled with excess rain water as these are breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Take proper precautions by using insect repellents and disinfectants such as neem leaves and cloves, which tend to reduce the risk of diseases caused by mosquitoes and flies.
5. Showering twice a day
   Right after finishing up school or work, it is advisable to take a shower immediately to prevent infection from diseases that are predominantly caused by the buildup of excess sweat and dirt due to humidity. A hot shower can also feel invigorating during a cold monsoon day!
6. Eat in moderation
   Consuming too much food during the rainy season is not recommended as the body takes a lot of time to digest the food due to the high humidity levels present during the monsoon season. Excess consumption of food can lead to bloating, acidity and indigestion. If you are trying to improve your digestion, consume food that has garlic, pepper and coriander. Stick to eating small meals once every couple hours.
7. Avoid street food
   Eating street food during the monsoon season is not advisable as the vegetables and water used to make the food get exposed to constant humidity, pollution and contamination. One can get all sorts of diseases ranging from fever to stomach conditions as a result of these unhygienic conditions. It is also safer to drink water from sealed bottles as there is a lower chance of contamination.
8. Cut out fizzy drinks
   Consuming fizzy drinks during the monsoon season is not recommended as they lower the mineral content in the body, which results in a decreased enzyme activity. This plays a significant role in the digestive system. Fizzy drinks also increase cholesterol levels and blood pressure, so it’s best to avoid them even after the monsoons!

If you want to remain happy and healthy this monsoon season, it is extremely important to follow the above pointers and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A great way to identify any symptoms and nip them in the bud before they get too serious is to get an annual health checkup. Visit Neuberg Diagnostics to get your preventive health checkup today.

A live-in relationship gives the couple an opportunity to know the partner without having to engage into a legally binding relationship.

India has witnessed a drastic change in the way the present generation perceive their relationships. The taboo that used to haunt partners in live-in relationships has also started to fade away with society opening up about the idea of pre-marital sex and live-in relationships. This improved mind-set is a result of freedom, privacy, profession, education and also globalisation. Moreover, for most of us – it is not an escape from responsibilities but a way to understand our partner and to check if at all we are compatibility.

A live-in relationship not only gives the couple an opportunity to know the partner without having to engage into a legally binding relationship but also excludes the chaos of family drama and lengthy court procedures in case the couple decides to break up. It involves continuous cohabitation between the partners without any responsibilities or obligations towards one another.

 There is no law tying them together, and consequently, either of the partners can walk out of the relationship, as and when they want.

How is live-in defined under Indian Law?

There is no law binding the partners together, and subsequently, either of the partners can walk out of the relationship, as and when they wish to do so. There is no legal definition of live-in relationship, and therefore, the legal status of such type of relations is also unconfirmed. The right to maintenance in a live-in relationship is decided by the court by the Domestic Violence Act and the individual facts of the case. Though the common man is still hesitant in accepting this kind of relationship, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act provides for the protection and maintenance thereby granting the right of alimony to an aggrieved live-in partner.

Is Live-In Relationship Legal in India?

Live-in relationship is one such concept that has entered into India in the millennial age. It’s not indifferent that people belonging to the previous generations usually question what a live-in relationship is. The main reason for this is because in earlier days no one would hear about such concepts, unlike today.

So be it any of the major metropolitan cities in India like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata or Chennai. Or any other small modern city like Bhubaneswar, Ahmedabad for that matter, live-in relationship is becoming popular. More and more couples are feeling safe and confident in entering into such a relationship. The live-in relationship meaning has completely been revolutionised by the modern generation.

Laws Surrounding Live in Relationship in India

To have a live-in relationship, law in India is still not clear on that. It is, however, pertinent to mention here that even though there is no live in relationship act per se. Therefore, there is a lot of obscurity about the live in relationship in India legal status.

Regarding the legal status of live in relationship in India, the Supreme Court has ruled that any of the couples who are cohabiting together for a very long period of time, they will be presumed as legally married unless proven otherwise. As far as the modern generation is concerned, India has been witness to many drastic changes in terms of various perceptions. As far as this generation goes, the effects of live in relationship are viewed as much similar to any relationship in general.

Whether live in relationship is good or bad is totally dependent on the couple engaging in the same. The taboo which used to haunt couples entering into a live in relationship is slowly dissipating. The Indian society or the society, in general, is becoming more open to the concept of pre-marital sex and live in relationship. This is leading to slowly lifting-off the taboo surrounding it.

The live in relationship rules & regulations in regards to this matter is very stringent and strict. Live in relationship sex or cohabitation with any married party is completely illegal and criminal in nature.  The aggrieved party can file for a criminal case of adultery under section 497 of the Indian Penal Code. The aggrieved party may also file for divorce on the grounds of his/her partner having an illicit relationship.

The Supreme Court judgement on live in relationship in the case Indra Sarma vs. V.K.V. Sarma states that co-living relationship can be broken down into five distinct ways:

1. Firstly, according to the court, any domestic cohabitation between an adult male and an adult female who are unwed is the simplest form of relationship.
2. Second, comes the cohabitation between a married man who is an adult and an unwed adult woman or vice versa.
3. It is important to mention about live in relationship, that cohabitation is taking place with mutual consent.
4. The Supreme Court has made it very clear that any domestic relationship with a married individual will tantamount to adultery. So, even if the cohabitation happens unknowingly can act as a ground for divorce.
5. Lastly, the apex court also speaks about the domestic cohabitation which takes place between homosexual partners.

 Pros of co-living relationship include:

Lesser responsibilities: One of the major positives of being in a live in relationship is the fact that there are fewer responsibilities. There is no social or legal bond when it comes to living together. Marriage does involve a lot of compromises which can be avoided in this scenario.

Low legal Issues: There are lower legal issues when it comes to a living relationship. Divorce is one of the ugliest legal issues when it comes to marriage. As far as live in is concerned such legal hassles can be avoided. A couple can simply move on rather than being in a suffocating relationship.

Financial Freedom: Another excellent advantage of a live in relationship is the aspect of financial freedom. One can easily divide expenses when it comes to a live-in relation. This concept is rather difficult when it comes to marriage.

Cons of co-living relationship include:

Social Censure: One of the major cons of being in a live-in relationship is the fact that society scorns upon the whole concept. Live in relationships as of yet have still not been accepted in most parts of the society, especially in India.

Lack of Commitment: It can be stated that one of the biggest advantages of a live-in relationship is also one of its largest disadvantages. There is a lack of commitment when it comes to the co-living relationship. This is why most of them are so short lived. The likelihood of one getting out of a live-in relationship is as quick as one entering into one.

Live-ins is not a new phenomenon in India. Apart from it going on in hushed or open ways in cities, it has been the standard norm in many of our tribes, some of which believe that the contemporary marriage system brings with it “several impositions, especially on women.” In fact it was to secure the rights of tribal women in live-in relationships that the Madhya Pradesh State Women’s Commission had recommended that such unions be accorded legal status. That more and more people are opting for it due to their own respective reasons is attested by the fact that the internet has extended its matchmaking services to include finding live-in partners. In the year 2011, an NGO in Ahmedabad organized a first-of-its-kind event to help single senior citizens find companions. So clearly living together goes much beyond the simplistic notion of “the rebellion of youth.”

Contrary to popular belief, live-ins is not devoid of work but confer much more responsibility upon both the partners since in many ways they are on their own. In such circumstances, it is best to apprise oneself of the socio-economic-legal aspects (like the guidelines for when the relationship would be seen as being in the nature of marriage to be covered under the 2005 Act), and go in prepared.

In today’s world, media has become as necessary as food and clothing. It has played a major role in strengthening the community. The media is seen as the “mirror” of today’s society, infection, is the media thing that sets our lives on fire.

The purpose of the media is to inform people of current, up-to-date news and to tell the latest gossip and fashion. It tells us about people who were geographically divided.

The role of the media has been one way of marketing and marketing products and discrimination. The media claim to be governed by justice and equality, but greed and self-enrichment have not diminished its beauty.
Media in possession of:
1 information
2 education
3 entertainment
4 ads
5 community meeting

The organization is influenced by the media in many ways. It is the media of assistants that help them find information on many things and build ideas and make decisions about various problems! It is the media that keeps people updated and informed about what is happening around them and the world. Everyone can find something in it.

The media has had a devastating effect on generation, especially since, adolescence is highly influenced by the media. Young people and children want to follow the people, who see themselves and do what they do to be noticed. At one point, they focused on the negative part of the media and tried to be part of it. However, many are not defeated by criminal life!

These are things that come to young people’s minds!

The media influence people’s opinion. Many media interventions are all a matter of concern. The media can be considered the “watch dog” of political freedom. Over the years, the media’s emphasis on the news has come. The media these days, they try to watch the news, which can help them sell the information collected around the world, so that they can make way for the success and fame of their channels. Fm radios, newspapers, information available on the net and television are many telephones that work to reduce the communication gap between listeners, viewers and the media world. Because of society and marketing, important statistics, their lifestyles are often directed. Insignificant and meaningless stories, often insignificant, are given first and foremost for one reason or another, they enter the minds of viewers and in many ways, important political, economic and social issues are ignored and little by little, they lose their value!

There is no doubt that the media has played a major role in making the world a global village and narrowing the gap between people living in remote areas but unfortunately, the media is now a FINANCIAL SECTOR, hearing hot news and barriers to sales.

I believe, if the media expresses its responsibility and works with integrity and honesty, then it can serve as a great force in nation building.
