NATIONAL SPORT’S DAY

National Sports Day is a public holiday celebrated in various countries to honour the national sports teams and sports traditions of those countries. On this The National Sports Day in India is celebrated on 29 August, on the birth anniversary of hockey player Major Dhyan Chand. This day marks the birthday of Major Dhyan Chand Singh, the hockey player who won gold medals in Olympics in the years 1928, 1932 and 1936. He score 570 goals in his career, from 1926 to 1949.

On the day, states like Haryana, Punjab, and Karnataka among others organise events to promote a sporting culture among the youth of the country. Post-2012, the government has used this day to launch various sports schemes, including the Khelo India movement, which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018.

Securing Future

Does securing the future mean secure for oneself or only for family?? Does it only involve Life insurance and other things like saving money for future generations only?? Has the human mentality reached such a low esteem where everyone is busy securing their own future?? No, this mentality needs to be modified. Securing Future means letting all the children, whether with respect to caste, religion or gender, have the right to be safe. They also have the right to speak and shouldn’t be forced to do any malicious thing. They too have the right to education. 

Respect towards youngers

We no doubt respect elders. We talk to them politely and do every work told by them. This tradition is correct but this doesn’t mean to show disrespect against youngsters. They do have feelings. When elders don’t respect them, they feel very bad and no one is there with whom they can share feelings. If they share it with their parents then they will only get scolded or they will say okay okay and leave. These feelings then one day can become the backbone for being rude, arrogant and a violent character human. Elders should not always disrespect smaller ones as they are the future of tomorrow’s future. There’s a saying “As you sow so shall you reap”. Showing disrespect towards smaller then in future these smaller will show disrespect towards them at their older age.

Welfare units

Welfare units were formed more and more as the population of orphan or roadside children was not low. These units work for betterment of their current situation and make them strong enough so that these children can make their own future bright and successful. These units provide food, shelter and clothes to wear. They provide facilities of free education to all needy children. They help them to stand on their own feet’s. They adopt the smaller ones who are being neglected by their parents. Child welfare systems are complex, and their specific procedures vary widely by State. The purpose of this factsheet is to give a brief overview of the purposes and functions of child welfare from a national perspective. While the primary responsibility for child welfare services rests with the States, the Federal Government supports States through program funding and legislative initiatives. 

Future Generation is in danger

These kids are much smarter and are quick learners then their own parents. So, parents need to be careful before they act. Firstly, they should give up bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking drugs. Even after trying to stop and it is not possible then don’t do these things in front of children as they are quick learners. They won’t take a long time to get addicted to these things. They might even start doing wrong things like smuggling, robbery, or rape or other things if their friends’ company or their surrounding is not good. The habitat or upbringings aren’t done properly. We all know that a human learns bad habits faster than good ones, this is why parents are requested to keep the surroundings good and clean of their child from birth.

At last, I would say that” Think before you act” and keep the futuremakers happy.

How to start a Small Business in India

We must have thought once in our lifetime about starting our own business, we may also have hundreds of amazing company ideas and have gained a lot of knowledge in the process. However, if you have no prior expertise or skills in this industry, launching a new firm is difficult.

What things you should consider before starting your own business?

Doing business entails numerous components such as customer service, public image, loyalty, and brand value, among others. As a result, anyone considering starting a new firm should think about all of this before getting started. As a result, before launching a small business in India, an entrepreneur should examine the following things.

The majority of people dream of starting a business, but few of them ever take the first crucial step. As a result, anyone who is contemplating or has an idea for a business should take the first step toward putting it into action. Simple steps could include things like starting to save, creating a business plan, and collaborating with various stakeholders.

Make a Plan for your Business

All the steps that you have to take to start a new business, the business plan contains all of the information needed to put the business idea into action, such as the type of business, nature of the business, and the type of business entity required, such as a sole proprietorship, joint-stock company, or partnership firm. A business strategy can also assist you in proper implementation while also coping with the changing environment.

A firm can only be sustained by the entrepreneur’s or businessmen’s original investment. It is critical to define the sort of source, such as retained earnings, loans, or outside investment, ahead of time. Furthermore, the source of funds must be determined ahead of time. It is strongly advised that the entrepreneur invest his or her own money as a first investment, as this will ensure that he receives the most reward for all of his hard work later on when the business succeeds.

Maintain positive relationships with people in your line of work

Every second of doing business is like learning something new. It is critical that you make contact with at least a few people who work in the same field as you. It will keep you up to date on the newest advancements, new government rules, and how to solve company challenges, among other things. It is also advised that you should have healthy and fair competition rather than taking unfair advantage of company opportunities.

Get a Domain & Build a Website

Those were the days when direct contact and direct marketing were critical to corporate success. In the traditional way of doing company, which is highly expensive, a substantial investment is necessary. From now on, we should start by establishing an online presence through the creation of a website, SEO, and internet marketing, among other things. A company can now sell its items thousands of miles distant via the internet. This form of business requires minimal infrastructure, making it a viable choice for small firms with limited capital.

Create a Social Media Presence

Apart from having an online presence, having a social media presence on numerous platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others is also essential. Although an online presence is used to sell items or services, a social media presence will aid in the development of a brand image, customer relations, and the expansion of client reach.

People will not go straight to your web sites, but having a social media presence will assist you in transferring followers from social media to your business model.

Set your Goals

Setting goals is critical when running a business. I’m not talking about long-term objectives here, but rather short-term objectives. Setting weekly and monthly goals is critical for achieving long-term goals when beginning a business since it helps to maintain our motivation and confidence at regular intervals. Setting a benchmark for this week’s sale, determining the number of complaints to be resolved this month, or raising client numbers to a certain level are all examples of short-term goals.

Continue to try new things

Every entrepreneur should be willing to test new things and study how the market or the customer reacts to them before making changes. Because the market is incredibly dynamic and trends change frequently, an entrepreneur should never assume that his or her business is performing well.

The Metamorphosis : Book Review

About the book

  • Title : Metamorphosis
  • Original Title : Die Verwandlung
  • Author : Franz Kafka
  • Year of publishing : 1915
  • Genres : Novella, psychological fiction, short story, fantasy fiction
  • Number of pages : 100

About the author

Kafka’s biography read almost like a critical analysis of his work, for so much of the neurotic tension of his writing finds its clear origin in the events of his life. Kafka was an outsider from the start.

Kafka’s ambivalent take on authority- his ability to respect it , rebel against it, and blame himself for everything- seems to come mainly from his relationship with his father. He continued writing in the evenings while living with his parents and three sisters, learning to place himself in a writing trance to block out the noise.

Much of Kafka’s early writing is lost, bht 1912 proved to be a breakthrough gear for him as he wrote some of his most important stories, including The Judgement, The Metamorphosis etc. Kafka moved through several apartments in the next few years to get away from the noise if his parent’s home to escape his father’s influence.

Never famous in his own lifetime, Kafka did have an audience of admirers within a small circle of German- reading intellectuals. Today, people use the word Kafkaesque to signify senseless and sinister complexity.

Analysis of the book

The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the world.

Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis in 1912, the year he felt his creativity finally taking a definite form. The writing process on this novel was laborious, taking three weeks in November and December, and the final product turned out to be the longest work Kafka ever completed in his life.

The style of the book epitomises Kafka’s writing. The style send to ground the story in reality, cutting off any possibility of its having been a dream, and get the story itself is of an impossible occurrence.

The Metamorphosis as professed earlier, is an autobiographical piece of writing, and we find that parts of the story reflect Kafka’s own life. It is well known that Kafka felt like an insect in his father’s authoritative presence and even developed a stammer whole speaking to him

” One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century” – Guardian

” What Dante and Shakespeare were for their ages, Kafka is for ours” – George Steiner

Summary of the story

” One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin”

Gregor Samsa is a travelling salesman who after waking up one morning from sleep finds out that he has been transformed into a large insect in his sleep. He thinks that he is still dreaming so he sleeps again but he remains the same even after waking up again. He tries to move and roll but he can’t do that because of the backbone he has now in his body is stiff.

He looks at the watch and sees that he is late for his work and hears his mother asking him to open the door but he can’t move so he couldn’t open the door. After that he hears his manager talking with his family because of Gregor’s absence in the office. His manager when came to his door and started threating him he anyhow open the door and the manager was shocked on seeing him like that.

After that, his sister Grete used to take care of his brother and used to give him food , but Gregor didn’t like the fresh milk which was one of his favourites because because of the transformation his mind and every habit was now changed.

One day, some boarders came to listen to the music of Grete but, Gregor out of excitement came out of his room and the boarders on seeing him goes away from there and thus it is when his family decide that Gregor was doing harm to their family. Gregor was the only earning member of his family but after his transformation they were poorly stricken with poverty.

On hearing that Gregor decides to die and later when it was revealed that he died,his family became very happy and relieved and they move into another house.

Conclusion

Gregor started living by accepting the way he was now but he also felt very bad for his family because it was he because of whom his family became very poor all over again. When he saw that he was not giving any benefit to the family, instead becoming a trouble for them he decides to kill himself. This book allows us to learn about the absurdity of existence, alienating experience of modern life, and the cruelty and incomprehensibility of authoritarian power.

” As Samsa struggles to reconcile his humanity with his transformation, Kafka, very deftly, weaves his readers into a web that deals with the absurdity of existence, the alienating experience of modern life,and the cruelty and incomprehensibility of authoritarian power, leaving them at once stunned and impressed.”

” The Metamorphosis is a book that concerns itself with the themes of alienating, disillusionment and existentialism.”

Situation of Transgender in India


“The Indian Supreme Court’s determination that transgender people constitute a Third Gender under the constitution, as well as recent laws, has considerably increased transgender people’s recognition and rights.”


Who is a transgender person?

Simply put, transgender people are individuals whose gender does not correspond to the gender assigned at birth. It encompasses transmen and transwomen, as well as those who identify as eunuchs because of their social culture.


In the Ancient Period, there were transgender people.Since the dawn of civilization, the eunuch has been a part of this subcontinent. Between 400 BCE and 400 CE, a treatise on human sexual behaviour was written. Hijras play a significant role in Hinduism, particularly during the Mahabharata and Ramayana periods.

By merging his bride into himself, Lord Shiva became half-woman, which is known as ardhanareshwar. In the eunuchs’ community, this storey is extremely important. Arjun took on the forms of eunuch as Viharnala and Shiikhandi during the Mahabharata and Ramayana periods, and they played major roles in the Mahabharata and Ramayana. When Lord Shri Ram returned from Vanvas, he bestowed a blessing to the Hijras. They are also said to be lucky for blessings.


In India, what is the status of transgender people?

Although transgender people have many rights, they are having trouble extending those basic civil rights. They are also human beings with the right to exist in a society rather than be ridiculed by their family and society. Their parents would disgrace them, and society would mock them. Our society restricts them to study, schools, health services, and access to parks and gardens, and retailers engage in unfair commercial practises with them, depriving them of respect and employment opportunities.
If a eunuch is born in a person’s home, they must immediately hand over to the eunuchs’ community. If a family retains their eunuch child in the house and attempts to educate them, the entire society begins to boycott their family, and people do not keep their eunuch in their family and shame them for the same reason.

One of those stories about movement among the people is that they are considered highly auspicious for a blessing since it is stated that when Shri Ram came from Vanvas, he granted a boon to the hijras, and it also appears that evil eyes of the eunuch are also considered very unfortunate.
Instructions to both the federal and state governments.


The court has issued the following directives to the federal and state governments:

1. In order to protect their fundamental rights, hijras and eunuchs should be recognised as third gender.
2. Recognizes the need for a person to recognise his or her own gender.
3. As a socially and educationally inferior class of citizens, reservations are made in public education and employment.
4. Making particular measures for transgender people in terms of HIV sero-surveillance and providing suitable health services.
5. Face their fears, gender dysporia, humiliation, sadness, suicidal impulses, and other issues.
6. Measures should be taken to give transgender persons with health treatment in hospitals, such as creating separate wards and providing them with separate public restrooms.
7. To increase public awareness so that transgender people feel that they are a part of society and are not considered as outcasts, implement social welfare programmes for their overall development.


Conclusion
These new regulations will not eliminate the discrimination that many transgender individuals (also known as hijra in India) face: many are shut out of mainstream jobs and society – to the point that certain hospitals have refused to treat them – and are frequently harassed by police. It is, nonetheless, a significant step forward, as legal recognition can help to foster better social acceptance and communal integration. The Supreme Court is also considering quotas to improve transgender people’s representation in work and education. As a result, we must adjust our attitude toward this community and show them respect and space.

Relevancy and Admissibility of E-Records

Technology has advanced rapidly over a period. This century saw a technological revolution which enthralled not only India but the whole world. In today’s world electronic devices used everywhere. And it is not only limited to established organizations or institutions but available to every individual at swipe of a finger. It helps people to communicate locally and globally with ease. Due to which the reliance on electronic means of communication, e-commerce and storage of information in e-form increasing rapidly. This growth of reliance on electronic means of communications, e-commerce and storage of information in e-form has most certainly caused a need to modify the law relating to information technology and rules of admissibility of electronic records both in civil and criminal matters in India. Electronic evidence is defined as information and data of asset to an investigation that is stored on, received or transferred by an electronic device. It is any probatory information stored or transferred in electronic form that a party to a court case may use at trial. As courts continue to wrestle with this new electronic frontier it is crucial to stress that electronic evidence is subject to the same rules of evidence as paper documents. It can be obtained in mails, digitized photos, transaction logins, instant messages, documents from accounting programs, spread sheets, browser history data, backups, printouts, GPS tracks, videos or audio files. E-records inclines to be more abundant, more difficult to annihilate, not difficult to modified, easily duplicated, potentially more expressive and more readily available, and such unique nature of e-evidence, as well as the ease with which it can be exploited or falsified, creates obstacle to admissibility not faced with other evidence. Electronic evidence challenge evidentiary rules grounded in a more tangible way. Certification of such record is perhaps the most difficult test as courts seek to determine its admissibility.

During trials, judges are often asked to order on the admissibility of electronic records. How the court orders on questions of admissibility could eventually impact the outcome of a civil lawsuit or determine the difference between conviction and acquittal of a defendant. These gadgets, the result of technology can be used for legal and illegal acts. For example, when data recorded or stored in the memory of a computer is printed out in paper if it is not easy to say that the version in the memory is a document. Nor is it easy to determine that the print out is an original or a duplicate. Also, even if such things (audio, tape recording, a video tape recording, electronic mail on computer screen) when submitted as evidence and such things as electronically transmitted directs in commercial transactions can be regarded as document.

The growth of computers, the social impact of information technology and the ability to store information in digital form have all required Indian law to be amended to include provisions on the appreciation of e-records.

In 2000 Parliament enacted the Information Technology (IT) Act 2000, that amended the existing Indian statutes to allow for the admissibility of electronic evidence. The IT Act is based on the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Model Law on Electronic Commerce and, at the side of providing amendments to the Indian Evidence Act 1872, the Indian Penal Code 1860 and also the Banker’s Book Evidence Act 1891, it recognizes transactions that are administered through electronic information interchange and different means of electronic communication.
