UNPRECEDENTED TIMES REQUIRE UNPRECEDENTED MEASURES

 It is not necessary that an economy will always work as we have planned it to.

Sometimes it might not work according to our judgement. There have been situations where the economy took an unexpected turn and the whole country had to change its ways according to that.

One of the recent and most difficult situations of all time is the unpredicted birth of Coronavirus. COVID-19 is a crisis that not just a country but the whole world is going through. It just popped out of the blue and we had absolutely no time to prepare ourselves for it. Still we have been taking a lot of measures to stop the spread of coronavirus. We have been trying our best from declaring immediate lockdown to continuously looking for cures to treating the people affected by it and what not to get out of this situation despite knowing nothing about it before it came on earth. We are doing everything in our power to stop this but still a lot of lives have been affected because nothing from all of this was planned.

It was an unexpected situation which was treated with unexpected measures. On an instant note we stopped the whole economy. The goverment declared lockdown which affected the financial status of the society as a lot of them lost their jobs. Suddenly masks, sanitizers and gloves became our rescruer and our lives depended on them. Nobody ever imagined that there would be a time where all of us would be working from home, everybody would be locked in their own houses and the outside world would be completely empty. If these sudden measures were not taken, the virus might have done worse than what it is already doing.

Things are not always in our control. A person needs to be quick and spontaneous in order to deal with them or the situation can slip out of our hands and become a huge problem for us. There is a way to deal with everything even if we are not prepared and if we don’t learn those ways then there might be huge repercussions.

Another example of similar situation in India could be demonetization. The sudden announcement by the government of banning the old notes created a havoc amongst the people. From the very next day banks became the busiest place of all. Cash payments were being rejected. Many digital payment platforms were created. Income tax rates were dropped.

This was also a time where people expected nothing still we did everything we could to handle the circumstance properly.

Certain times need to be treated unprecedentedly. Not everything can be planned. Life is full of uncertainities and though we might not have a prepared arrangement for them, we should be ready to face any kind of situation at any time.

Child Marriage legalised on Rajsthan

Currently, Rajasthan govt released an amendment “Rajasthan compulsory Registration of Marriage Amendment Bill 2021” it allowed registration of child marriages, it’s 21 century and we all are aware of how heinous child marriage is, here are some of my views on this act

In my views law is not wrong
Those who commit or help in child marriage will still be punished, but those who already had marriage were not allowed to have registration and so they were not able to avail all govt schemes and benefits, those saying it will make it easier to do child marriage remember availing govt benefits are everyones fundamental rights.

Those saying it’s illegal look it like this rape is illegal but rape victim and culprit both have some rights that we can’t snatch, like culprit must be allowed to go court etc, ofcourse child marriage is as heinous as rape and here victims are both boy and girl but why they suffer whole life for it, they can’t get rashion, jobs, water, now as everything is more and more digitalizing and you can’t prove you’re married, it will become more hard to avail services like jacha bacha Suraksha and this are thee parents who most need it.

Also one negative point is it will make child marriage easier, but many people will not be able to avail fundamental rights isn’t it totally wrong also we can make child marriage hard by making strong rules. As we have data of child marriage we can ask govt employee who are posted there why they let it happen like police or magistrate, they will become more accountable this way.

2.Duolingo= Duolingo is an American language-learning website and mobile app, as well as a digital language proficiency assessment exam. The company uses a freemium model: the app and the website are accessible without charge, although Duolingo also offers a premium service for a fee.

Later on, Facebook has launched a dedicated website interface (Messenger.com), and separated the messaging functionality from the main Facebook app, allowing users to use the web interface or download one of the standalone apps. In April 2020, Facebook officially released Messenger for Desktop, which is supported on Windows 10 and macOS and distributed on Microsoft Store and App Store respectively.

4.Fresh Paint = Fresh Paint originated from a Microsoft Research project known as Project Gustav, an endeavor to reproduce the behavior of physical oil paint on a digital medium. To push the boundaries of simulating oil on a digital medium the research team created a physics model that precisely replicated on a screen what would happen in the real world if you combined oil, a surface and a tool such as a paint brush. Two publications, Detail-Preserving Paint Modeling for 3D Brushes and Simple Data-Driven Modeling of Brushes, were released as a result of the team’s findings.
After a variety of internal testing Project Gustav was codenamed Digital Art. Partnering with The Museum of Modern Art, Digital Art was tested for a year by 60,000 people. With feedback culled from MoMA, developers expanded the existing physics model, experimenting with how real oil paint blended and reacted to the texture of a canvas. After final adjustments were made Digital Art was rebranded as Fresh Paint. It was released to the public on 25 May 2012.
5.Netflix = Netflix, Inc. is an American over- the- top content platform and production company headquartered in Los Gatos, California.

The company has offices in Canada, France, Brazil, the Netherlands, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Netflix is a member of the Motion picture Association (MPA), producing and distributing content from countries all over the globe. Netflix’s initial business model included DVD sales and rental by mail, but Hastings abandoned the sales about a year after the company’s founding to focus on the initial DVD rental business. Netflix expanded its business in 2007 with the introduction of streaming media while retaining the DVD and Blu-ray rental business. The company expanded internationally in 2010 with streaming available in Canada, followed by Latin America and the Caribbean. Netflix entered the content-production industry in 2013, debuting its first series House of Cards.

 By: Astha Raghav 

Introduction 

Online Gambling is also known as Internet gambling. It is any kind of gambling conducted on the internet. This includes virtual poker, casinos and sports betting. The first online gambling venue opened to the general public was ticketing for the Liechtenstein International Lottery in October 1994.

4. Bingo: Online bingo is the game of bingo played on the internet. 

5. Lotteries: Most lotteries are run by government and are heavily protected from competition due to their ability to generate large taxable cash flow s.

Online Gambling in India 

India has recently become a potential gold mine for online gambling operators. This is mainly due to the current financial growth of their middle classes and the exponential increase in the number of people in the country who now have access to the internet. Most gambling games require you to risk money to get desired results. Nowadays, Indian people are more than just immersed in technology and it’s high tech devices. They play online  Casinos in India at a cheaper price in comparison to a physical casino setup. 

Types of Online Gambling in India 

1. Online teen patti.

2. Cricket betting and satta.

3. Online lotteries issued by state government. 

Conclusion 

Online Gambling has its own set of problems will require both legislative technical solutions. It is commercially viable and will be a major e- commerce  application. I believe there are two types of people who play online gambling. The first type is people who have some money to enjoy their life or try to do what they have not done yet. The other case is to earn money. People who are struggling to get a job or not having enough pays. Online Gambling needs to be understood from a perspective focusing as much on contexts as individuals.  Highlights the need to tailor prevention not only to specific groups such as college students but also to account for the risk embedded in specific settings.
