Think of your favorite Quentin Tarantino movie and focus on one moment in it. Can you imagine “Pulp Fiction” and Samuel L. Jackson’s evocative speech “Ezekiel 25:17”? Or maybe you are in love with Colonel Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz in “Inglourious Basterds,” and bring bad luck with a glass of fresh milk.
No matter which moment you choose, it can be a scene of intense, vivid, and often unprovoked violence before or after it. Tarantino has always been controversial. His films are respected and insulted. They present ruthless chaos and humorous scenes on our screens. At the very least, these scenes are already in our memory. They left a footprint.
If this is Tarantino what you are looking for, then it is best to browse through his catalog of eight films, because “in the past … in Hollywood” was a completely different creation.
With the vibrant and immersive California of 1969 as a backdrop, Hollywood’s so-called golden age is coming to an end and the adoration of Charles Manson is imminent. Tarantino abandoned the main point of the plot and went back to exploring and felt almost overwhelmed. the day job of actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his great, effortless stuntman / best friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Dalton is obsessed with the rest of his decaying television and film career, while the studio has long viewed Booth as an unnecessary and unwanted person. As a driver, a handyman, and perhaps the most relevant thing is the emotion. The support provider remains on your personal payroll. Belonging to an era full of colors, hippies, and social divisions, the couple was unaware of their status, and they twisted and twisted in their lives, neither charming enough to be truly elitist nor gloomy enough to be worthy of true sympathy.
If this rather abstract film is uncomfortably classified, the most appropriate description is a lighthearted buddy comedy. DiCaprio and Pete are two of the most famous stars of their time. Their cast is perfect and they inject warmth and “credibility” into the characters who stumbled to find their goals in an ever-changing world. The movie is lazily described as a love letter to Hollywood, but there may be real elements hidden in it. Either Tarantino proved that in the era of Marvel and Marvel, the original plays starring Aris actors may still be successful or, on the contrary, he is offering his bittersweet odes and goodbyes to the movies of the past.
Although slight by the standard that people expect from the Tarantino film, the film is the beginning of a conversation and changes each time it is re-watched, providing a window into Hollywood’s past. Of course, there are moments of tension and violence, but they are rare and far apart. This movie wants to take you on a leisurely tour of the sunny boulevards of Los Angeles, but you don’t need to wear a seat belt-take off your shoes, sit back and enjoy the journey.
(PD: Tarantino once again gave up historical accuracy to provide a “hypothesis?” ending.

Violent and sincere, “Joker” is not a joke
The film industry generally believes that the original “King Kong” is an allegory of African colonialism and the slave trade. Filmmakers, including Quentin Tarantino, believe that it doesn’t matter whether this is the intention of the 1933 film: this is the film made, influenced by the subjective worldview and the subconscious mind of the people involved. Influence. Production:
This brings us to “Joker”, which is the most anticipated movie of 2019 and one of the most controversial works this year. The audience paid attention to the origin of the notorious super villain, watched the beginning of the man behind the make-up, and watched him deal with the harsh struggle of daily life in Gotham City where crime and rats are infested. Here, men reflect the city: isolation, frustration, jealousy and anger, on the verge of collapse.
There is so much discussion about “Joker” that another personal comment can get lost in the vortex of noise. As more and more people get a chance to see this movie, the noise will get louder. However, I have to say: “Joker” is a powerful, inspiring and effective movie. For better or for worse, it is important and relevant, because it is so close to home, it is very scary, reflecting the negative and cynical atmosphere of most people in modern Western society.
So we go back to the “King Kong” comparison: it doesn’t matter if this explanation is the intention of director Todd Phillips and his team. This is the movie they made. This is how “Joker” has been and will continue to be understood: a fable that observes the worst factors in society with a microscope, and illustrates its main theme in an overly stylized, cinematic presentation.
“Joker” is without a doubt a win for the movie. Joaquin Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix) injects charm into this character, and I daresay that sympathy should make you and your cognitive dissonance uncomfortable. Although his affected and smooth movements are equally exciting and tempting, this man was pushed to the brink by the suffering of his survival today, and he acted in unexpected but violent ways, making him the vanguard and center of a society that rejected him. He achieved the fame he was seeking in a much more twisted way than he had imagined, but it still came. The stark iteration of this role makes you wonder, despite everything he has done and will do, can you understand his point of view?
This is a movie of serious choice—choosing to feature the original and dark version of Joker, killing people suddenly, cruelly and unceremoniously. Demonstrate options for a complete Joker transition with Gary Glitter songs. As my good friend Joe said, the decision to let filmmakers know about a film can be interpreted as a “call” to dissatisfied people in society. These choices have now been made. Whatever happens, inside and outside the film industry, one thing is certain: we will talk about “clowns” for a long time.
Review – Knvies Out
The era of the “Whodunnit” has passed, which, if Kenneth Branagh’s clumsy 2017 adaptation of “Murder on the Orient Express” is any indication, is a good thing.
In “Knives Out,” a modern murder mystery with an interesting plot and indisputably excellent cast, director Rian Johnson gives us an updated take on this structure just a few years later.
The answer is yes! “From the very beginning, “Knife Out” brought the audience into its world, juxtaposing the classic tone of the format with a more modern collection of scenes and characters. The main location of the story, a house, an isolated field, Direct shot from the “Whodunnit” script, it perfectly presents and contains old and new trinkets, including intricate ornaments and secret windows, as well as elegant environments and challenging coffee cups, which read: “My home.” My rules. My coffee. “The most important thing is that this film strikes the right balance between simplicity and complexity, while also paying tribute to the films that inspired it and gave them new changes.
The central theme of the story is the aftermath of the hypothetical suicide of Harlan Sloby (Christopher Plummer). Harlan Sloby (Christopher Plummer) is a well-known crime writer and a well-rounded crime writer. Popular tycoons, thieves, and leech gang patriarchs can hardly be described as a family. With the arrival of the famous private investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), the investigation that was about to end became a murder investigation: everyone is a suspect. The first act of film
is admirably sharp and graceful, promoted with effortless composure and humor through preliminary interviews with each character. Each character has been revealed to have a potential motivation to bring Harlan to the afterlife, but this is the situation surrounding death. How and when did someone in the family act like this?
In fact, this movie can be described as a long red herring, leading the audience down a fascinating path, holding our attention tightly until … nothing. However, the excellent performance of “Blade Out of the Sheath” ultimately disappointed him, and the story built to the point where it was almost impossible for most of the characters to support murder, except for one or more of its characters. It was. The identity of the killer or murderer is so obvious that it is almost unbelievable – the audience is likely to expect an additional turning point, unfortunately, it did not appear.
This is not to say that this movie is not worth your time or money. This is a lighthearted, fascinating, self-aware, interesting and sometimes very interesting game, each actor is as close to his Agame as possible. For you to guess if your two-hour runtime is satisfying enough, it can be worse than being a little hobbyist detective on a rainy winter day.
Gandhi’s Concept of Bread Labour and Sarvodaya
Mahatma Gandhi are one of the legend figures associated with India and it’s Independence. Born on 2 October 1869, Gandhi Ji always stood strong about their principles. Two of their very famous principles; Bread Labour and Sarvodaya are explored in this article.
Bread Labour is a concept that is referred to as a blessing to those who observe non-violence and worship truth. When we talk about labour there exists two types of labour, manual labour and intelligence labour. Manual labour, as the name suggests refers to work that includes physical handwork like carpentry or labours that help in construction works. Intelligence labour talks about work that uses the intellect of a human being for example scientists, teachers, salesmen etc.
Gandhi advocated that an individual must labour to fulfil their daily needs and desires but along with this the individual should also make use of their intellect to help others and provide service to mankind. E.g. NGOs, social workers who labour for the well-being of others.
Gandhi ji first practiced the ideal of Bread Labour in Phoenix Settlement and Tolstoy farm in South Africa. Bread labour was a compulsion for certain hours of every day in the ashrams and people performed activities like agriculture, dairying, weaving, carpentry etc.
When Gandhi ji returned to India he continued with the bread labour concept in his Sabarmati Ashram along with providing people with basic educational activities. The reason why Gandhi ji strongly believed in Bread Labour and encouraged it was because he believed that upon the adoption of bread labour, we will have a classless and casteless society.
Gandhi ji also said that a rich man cannot forever be happy with his riches and will someday get bored of them. And that this rich man will be able to understand others and feel satisfied only when he takes upon physical work and engages in the activity of bread labour.
In his concept of Sarvodaya Gandhi ji explores a more a comprehensive, social, economic, political, moral and spiritual philosophy.
Sarvodaya is a term meaning ‘Universal Uplift’ or ‘Progress of All’. It is based on the principle of duties rather than rights of individuals. It lays great emphasis on moral and spiritual values. It seeks to create new social and economic values.
The term was first coined by Mohandas Gandhi as the title of his 1908 translation of John Ruskin’s tract on political economy, “Unto This Last”, and Gandhi came to use the term for the ideal of his own political philosophy.
Gandhi advances the concept of Sarvodaya, which were the based on three basic principles:
- That the good of the individual is contained in the good of all.
- That a lawyer’s work has the same value as the barber’s in as much as all have the same right of earning their livelihood from their work.
- That is a life of labour, i.e., the life of the tiller of the soil and the handicraftsman is the life worth living.
Gandhi ji were of the firm view that the earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not for every man’s greed. The concept of possession yields places to the concept of trusteeship. In the Sarvodaya society of Gandhi ji’s dream, therefore, every member will be free from any greed for limitless acquisition of material wealth and more and more luxurious living and they will follow the motto of simple living and high thinking. Everyone will, thus, get ample opportunity to produce and earn sufficiently through honest work for decent and dignified living. Consequently there will be no problem of unemployment.
In short we can say that the concept of Sarvodaya and Bread Labour is for the betterment of the society and holds a significant role even today in its application.
Tiger conservation: Strides and hurdles
On International Tiger Day( July 29), Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed that the government is committed to ensuring safe habitats for tigers and nurturing tiger- friendly ecosystems in India, home to over 70% of the world’s tiger population.
The last tiger census (2018) pegged the big cat’s population at 2967, marking an increase of about 30% compared to the 2014 report ( 2226). In 2010, India had 1706 tigers, while in 2006 it was 1411. India’s tiger conservation journey started in 1973 with Project Tiger with nine reserves; today, it has 50 tiger reserves in 18 states.
The steady growth in the number of tigers and reserves happened because of state support; vigilance and conservation efforts by the forest department, especially its frontline staff; and the involvement of local communities that help secure forests and participate in ecotourism activities in many of the popular and revenue – generating tiger reserves.
While increased protection has encouraged tigers to breed, it has also led to migration from the safety of reserves. Once they leave the park, big cats encounter a different world.
The Management Effectiveness Evaluation of Tiger Reserves 2018 report shows that at least half of the 50 tiger reserves are facing threats from linear infrastructure ( roads, highways, and railway lines), fragmented forest corridors, poaching, pressure of human – wildlife conflict, mining, improper garbage disposal, and pollution.
About 20% of the reserves have unsustainable pressure from pilgrims visiting temples inside them.
India has made progress, but must remain acutely conscious of the need for the need for the tiger conservation.
Is perfection for real ?
“Perfection is shallow, unreal and fattaly uninteresting” – Anne Lamott
Perfection is not attained in a day, actually perfection is myth even the most perfect person is not satisfised with his perfection and it cannot be fully 100% but, close to that.
It is said that many people live a life of perfection. Which is not true actually like these days social media is the greatest influencer specially for the young generation. They are more aware about the social media trends then themselves, and what we see on social media is mostly the reality getting whitewashed in the name of perfection. Thus, do not rely totally on what you see or hear everything is not true. If we are talking about trends and attaining perfection then surely we can not forget few incidence where the celebrities have tried showing the reality to the world. It can be in the form of body positivity, art appreciation or being true about what you feel. Thus, perfection is just a myth one should not involve himself or herself so much into the idea of attain perfection instead it is better to improve yourself each day if you want to overcome anything and achieve the desired goals.
Also, practice because it is not possible to draw a straight line without a ruler at the first attempt but, if you practice well to achieve the stability in your hand you can deffinately draw a line and then the whole painting. One of the factor that most of the young people are focused on achieving more in less time or early is quiet common these days but, this can create trouble as in the hurry of gaining everything that too early can cost many other things. Perfection is real only if wanted till certain extend you can multitask, work hard, set goals, and became more aware about your inner self all this is equal to achieving perfection in anything.
Perfection is about eliminating flaws and mistakes , while some people are thinking that if it is possible to be perfect, some are already indulged in the process and some are probably faking perfection. Every one is at different stage. Also, there are professions that demand perfection like a photographer who has to click thousands of pictures and even sometimes wait for years to get that one perfect shot.
So its not like perfection does not exist but, the term has been created to appreciate the efforts of the person. Its just about being the best version of yourself and excel in the areas of your interest at both personal and professional level. It is important to not forget what you really are chasing perfection can be a tough job so it is better to chase excellence and be happy with all that you have and achieved so far in life.
Your Humble Beginnings Matter
Even if your beginnings are humble, the end will be prosperous.
When was the last time you compared yourself to someone and felt utterly dejected about your own self? When was the last time you stopped rushing through tasks and took time to breathe in an air of relief?
For me, comparison is something that I do on a daily basis. Randomly, anytime, anywhere as if performing a sacred ritual meant to calm you. In my case, this ritual only leaves a turmoil behind. And to be honest I can’t help it.
For instance, one time I saw a girl riding a bike and going to work. She was dressed in “office-clothes” while I wasn’t. Looking at her beam confidence I started to compare myself to her and started feeling lower than her in some way. Another time, I heard some of my seniors bad-mouthing someone and I felt how much better I was than them because I wasn’t doing such a thing. But the truth was that I just wasn’t comfortable enough with them to join in the conversation. If it had been a good-friend of mine I bet I would have joined in the “judgy-gossip” right away. But the thing is, I really am clueless about how to do this away.
The regular sayings of “It’s okay”, “It happens. You’ll grow through it” doesn’t seem to take the shape of reality. Everyday goes on with me self-assessing almost every individual that piques my interest and trying to find ways just to put myself below or above them in the hierarchical status called being and life. I don’t think there are any successful ways out for people like me, for whom even trying feels like a hassle because all we’ve gotten back until now is nothing.
So the only thing that I’d like to tell people and to myself is, “Keep your beginnings humble”. What I mean to say is, take your baby steps, and take your sweet time to grow, even though life is short, it’s actually pretty long and no one knows what lies on the other side of life.
When your beginnings are humble, and your view is not clogged with ‘perfectionism’ or victory, you’d be more at ease. You’d move with your own conditions and would therefore care less about the tasks of others. Your humble beginnings will remind you to see things from your perspective and not from the object race-winning one. Your humble beginnings will show you that you don’t have to learn things fast and execute them perfectly as a machine. Some things can be taken slow. (I don’t mean the hobbies)
If you keep your beginnings humble you’ll be able to cut yourself some slack once in a while without any guilt and without the pressure of keeping up with others. You’ll understand that everyone’s pace is different and so is their direction. So whenever you’ll find yourself in a tough spot, you won’t hesitate to take a break.
Your humble beginnings, that doesn’t blow the bomb right out of the cannon, are okay too. It’s okay if your focus is on one thing and a little minor on the rest. These simple and humble beginnings will end up as prosperous and bring happiness for you someday.

Plot
Lara Jean Covey’s high school sets up a volunteer program; while her boyfriend Peter Kavinsky volunteers with his friends, Lara Jean goes to Belleview Retirement Home instead, where her older sister Margot went.
On her first day there, she meets Stormy, an eccentric old lady who Margot often mentioned and discovers that John Ambrose McClaren is also volunteering at Belleview. They talk about a love letter she had written to him many years ago, and he lets her read the letter as long as she gives it back to him afterward. Lara Jean is unable to stop thinking about their conversation and, in addition, is constantly insecure about her relationship with Peter because she can’t stop comparing herself with her ex-best friend, and Peter’s ex-girlfriend, Gen.
On Valentine’s Day, Lara Jean witnesses her classmates being serenaded by special acapella groups and is told by a friend that Peter had sent a group to serenade Gen every period, back when they were still dating. This enhances her insecurity, though she forgets about this when she meets with Peter later that day. He gives her a silver heart necklace and reads a poem, which she believes is original but turns out to be two verses of an Edgar Allan Poe poem. He later apologizes and tells her he wishes he could write something like that for her, though he means everything in the poem.
While volunteering at Belleview, Lara Jean and John Ambrose grow closer and throw a Star Ball for Belleview after discovering some old decorations; He appears to be developing feelings for her, who hasn’t told him about her relationship with Peter. Instead, they arrange to go to their old middle school hangout spot, a treehouse, to dig up the time capsule they buried years ago with their friends, including Gen, and take turns unpacking it. Gen claims that she didn’t put any in the time capsule, Peter gets jealous of John Ambrose and reveals his relationship with Lara Jean. She and Peter argue but end up making up.
The next day, Lara Jean apologizes to John Ambrose for not telling him about Peter, and then dresses up for Peter’s game. As she is waiting for Peter to come out, Chris shows her a photo of Gen and him. She confronts Peter and realizes that Peter never stopped talking to Gen and, on the ski trip, Peter was planning to get back together with Gen that night. As Peter is in a rush to get to the game, he tells Lara Jean they will have to talk about it later, but she’s too hurt and breaks up with him. She goes to the treehouse later and meets Gen, who reveals that Peter was only comforting her as her parents are separating. She went to Peter because he had undergone the same experience, that Peter is crazy about Lara Jean, and that she shouldn’t doubt him. She also reveals that she had, in fact, put a friendship bracelet identical to Lara Jean’s in the capsule, and was too embarrassed to show it. Lara Jean realizes that it was her and not Peter who always had Gen on her mind, and makes up with Gen.
On the night of the retirees’ ball, Stormy gives Lara Jean a dress and a makeover. She and John Ambrose dance before going outside in the snow. When they kiss, Lara Jean realizes that she truly loves Peter and doesn’t hold feelings for John. She apologizes to him and rushes outside, surprised to find Peter waiting outside for her. He is waiting outside because he remembers she doesn’t like driving in the snow, a fact that she told him on their first date. He says that she can break his heart if she wants, but she says that she loves him instead, and he tells her he loves her back. They kiss and make up, and in an ending voiceover Lara Jean says that she had wanted a fairytale relationship with Peter, but is now satisfied with what she has.
Plan Bee
Plan Bee has won best innovation award by Indian Railways. Plan bee is an initiative taken in action against the increasing case of elephant accident on Railway tracks, below is a detail summary about Plan Bee.
Animal protection is stated as a priority goal to save the endangered species and possibly bring back extinct species through efforts like forest conservation but, this is not the only solution. There are many incidents where these animals are killed. It is not only about the hunters and poacher who are killing the animals and cutting of green area. Hunting and poaching are done intentionally whereas forest are cut in the process of development There are many other reasons, one of which is accidents both road accidents and railway accidents are equally responsible for killing animals.
Roads that are located on the way of jungle or railway track that passes through forest area interrupt the path of animals and while they try to cross the track or road they are killed. As per WPSI (Wild life protection Society of India) 83 leopards lost their life in road and railway accident in the year 2019. Between the year 2016 and 2019 thousands of animals were killed. Animals like- deer, cattle’s, tiger, lion, , leopard, elephants etc are in the list. It is a big issue as far as animal protection is concerned in India.
At latest a prevention measure is taken to protect elephants from railways. This is called Plan Bee, an initiative taken by Government of India to keep the elephants away from railway track.
Plan Bee has already received the best innovation award by Indian railways and is now implemented in the north easter railway frontier. The first installation was done near Guwahatti railway station in assam.
The basic principle followed in making these devices is the use of buzzing sound of bee to keep the elephants away from the railway track. Apart from this other methods like monitoring system, elephant corridors are used to protect elephants specially in the places where the train passes from a forest. The speciality of Plan bee is that the sound can be heard from a distance of 700m. the first system was installed near kamakhya and Azara station near Guwahati.
As per the railway department it has been effective and has saved life of many forest elephants. These devices have been installed in over 55 locations under NFR. The railway minister has also highlighted how the system has turned out to be helpful in protecting animals, the train driver can being formed early if the system detects any elephant crossing the railway lines and he could stop the train within that time.
Apart from, plan Bee and monitoring system speed restrictions are imposed in such area, underpasses are build, elephant corridors are constructed. All these steps can help resolve the problem and reduce the elephant death taking place due to train collision. As the implementing is done successfully the results are also visible, it is just one of the step towards safeguarding animals and protecting their lives. While development is the focus railway tracks will be installed for better connectivity at the same time if proper measures like Plan Bee will be taken it will be fruitful for the railways and for the animals as well.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is a technique of collecting and storing rainwater for future use. It is a traditional method of storing rain water in underground tanks, ponds, lakes, check dams and used in future. The main purpose of rain water harvesting is to make the rainwater percolate under the ground so as to recharge ‘ groundwater level’.
Methods of rainwater harvesting
Roof top rainwater harvesting: Roof tops are excellent rain catchers. The rain water that falls on the roof of the houses, apartments, commerical buildings etc. Is collected and stored in the surface tank and can be used for domestic purpose.
Recharge pit: In this method, the rain water is first collected from the roof tops or open spaces and is directed into the percolation pits through pipes for filtration. After filtration the rain water enters the recharge pits or ground wells.
People living in rural areas adopt a variety of water collecting methods to capture and store as rain water. Some of the methods used are 1) Digging of tanks or lakes ( Eris): It is one of the traditional water harvesting system in Tamil Nadu. Eris are constructed in such a way that if the water in one eri overflows, it automatically gets diverted to the eri of the next village, as these Eris are interconnected
Ooranis: These are small ponds to collect rainwater. The wao is used fo various domestic purpose ( drinking, washing and bathing). These ponds cater the nearby villages.
Building a learning culture for Remote employees?
Learning is an important part in the growth of any organization, and building a culture that encourages and empowers this is essential.
Through adaptive learning an organisation can build a learning culture for remote employees. They can be given a set of problems to solve online and make observations on qualitative and quantitative financial parameters such as rating, growth and financial stress.
With the flexibility to take the test multiple times, employees are motivated to acquire relevant skills. Instructors can review, curate, and assign multiple projects for employees to solve and enhance skills.
This solution is approved by the Ministry of Education under NEAT program and was implemented with learners at Indian School of Business.
Moreover, when employees are rewarded for enhancing their skills – with better roles or pay – there is always incentive for these remote workers to keep signing up for more workshops, courses and adaptive learning.
To build a future – ready remote workforce, one needs to go an extra mile to ensure learning in the virtual environment

Preamble mentions that India is the sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic and republic. It talks about equality, justice and harmony among the people of the nation.
Again India is the largest democracy of the world as here all the leaders and representatives are elected by the people of India and for the people of India through voting. People can elect any eligible representative as their leaders who work for people's welfare.
How nice it feels to hear the above mentioned facts? Doesn't that seem to be a full fledged India where each and every person under the shed of the Constitution would be enjoying their right? But the sad thing is that's not the reality and truth.
From the bird's eye view it seems to be so settled and perfect but deep inside how messy it is, it's hard to mention.
Despite having the right to equality there are many who don't get it. Despite the right to education there are many who aren't allowed to be educated. Despite having the right to speech there are so many whose voice is suppressed still.
There are many rights mentioned in the Constitution. There are many who don't enjoy these rights as the system of society doesn't allow it.
Along with these basic rights, Indian Constitution provides special privilege to backwards classes of the society, and women, but in reality do they gain equal status? No, they don't.
There are still many people who behave inhumane towards people. For them democracy and freedom don't matter. Sometimes parents don't give basic rights to their children. Husbands don't give it to their wife. Father to his daughter. The Constitution and democracy could give basic rights but what about real rights? Not everybody gets this in the Indian society.
Let's say for instance, if anybody faces a fraud or crime or theft there are uncountable laws mentioned in the Constitution against the crime. Various punishments have been mentioned under different laws for the one who commits any crime. But who enforces them? Nobody.
No one files complaints against the crime and criminal. Officers are not ready to accept those FIRs. Luckily, if anyone writes the complaint no action is taken. If an action is taken, the criminal can easily bribe and get a bail.
In India, courts work with the speed of a tortoise. Lakhs of cases are still kept pending in the major courts of district and nation. Everyday, so many people go to the police stations and courts with the hope of getting justice but they never get it as mentioned in the Constitution.
In India, the main reason why girls don't feel comfortable to go out, or work night jobs is because people here make them feel unsafe. Though when one looks from afar, a person might be feeling that there are so many measures and privileges given for the security of a lady, but the thing is it's only mentioned. In reality they are not given.
When a girl is raped, or faces acid attack, she has to fight for her right with the pain for years. Sometimes her parents have to fight for 10 years for their daughter's rights even after her death. Nirbhaya is the best example.
In the judiciary system, the justice giving pattern in India is so pathetic that here people have to struggle.
For getting a signature in a government office one has to cover hundreds of tables.
The baic brick of democracy is electing representatives by the vote of the people. Do they win by honestly contesting the election? Of course not.
Politicians try to influence people for the vote by making false promises. They offer various schemes for the farmers and poor section of the society so that they could get major votes. They purchase votes by offering money. Everyone in politics has two faces. One that is shown publicly, and one that is hidden.
Everyone uses democracy for their own power. The welfare of people isn't their motive.
Corruption in India is at its highest peak which kills the major factor of democracy i.e transparency between the people and the leader. They serve their own ends under the guise of the welfare, justice and development of people. They just need power of position.
No doubt, India provides so much freedom of speech and expression, to travel and live, and adopt every religion as compared to other countries like North Korea, China etc. The ground reality for many is even worse than that. The country is providing freedom but the people of India aren't providing to each other.
Democratic form of government is the best form of government in all existing forms. It's good to hear that we live in one of the largest democracies in the world.
Those in power are abusing democracy. If this continues and no attention is given towards choosing the right leader and government, one day this democracy will turn into a monarchy in India.

Arnold’s “Sohrab and Rustom” the fragmentary epic “Hyperion” by Keats and Spencer’s “Fairy Queen” also belong to this category stop a literary epic is the result of the poet’s erudition and scholarly research through it shares several of its characteristics with the epic of growth. Most traits of the traditional epic are found in the literary epic also.
