Earlier, painting involved not only the act itself but the entire process, from making one’s colours to watching as they come to life. Paper, wood, cloth, etc. were some of the materials artists used as a base for their paintings. Brushes weren’t made from synthetic materials but were made from the original hair of animals like camels, goat, and squirrel. The Mysuru style of paintings usually are representations of legends, mythical scenes, and the royal family. This style of painting from Karnataka is known for its simplicity and intricate detailing across the country. The artists used a particular gesso paste, consisting of zinc oxide and gum, which formed a protective layer on the painting, which has kept them undamaged even after 150 years.

Karnataka is home to 50 different tribes, each having their traditions and customs. Tribal art is another indigenous art form. Hase Chitra mud painting is an art form emerging from the Shimoga and Karwar districts and is currently being revived.

Priya Yadav,
Social Media creates a virtual world through the internet which the user can access using any social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). In today’s era, social media has become an important part of life, which has many features, such as providing information, entertaining, and educating. About 700 million people in India’s 125 billion populations have phones. From which 25 crore people have smartphones in their pockets. 155 million people visit Facebook every month and 16 crore people live on WhatsApp every month.
While social media plays a positive role, some people also misuse it. By using social media incorrectly, such people try to divide people by spreading maliciousness. Misleading and negative information is shared through social media, which adversely affect the public. And through social media, also there have been many developmental works that have enriched democracy, which has increased the unity, integrity secularism, socialist qualities of any country.
These days, the increasing trend of social media has not only caught the youth, but even the teenage students have not been able to stay away from its attraction. The habit of accessing these websites until the morning and before going to sleep at night has left the children far away from the real world. When the students sitting with their hands on their mobile phones will have time to introspect. The main reason for the increasing problem of stress among students is their increasing busyness on social media.
Disadvantages of social media
Loss of memory
According to a study done by social media, more use of social media has the opposite effect on memory. Important information is not safe in the minds of such people. Actually, in spare time, the brain works to secure information. But even in free people are busy in online activities, due to which their mind is not able to get rest and it directly affects their memory.
Communication skills are lacking
There is a lack of sociality in students who are always engaged in online conversation, that is why they avoid communication face to face with people in private, due to which they lack communication skills while every area of life, whether academic or having professional, excellent communication skills is very important because the art of effective communication increases your success percentage.
Concentration is affected
Even during studies, most of the attention of the children remain on the message notification on their phones, due to which their attention is not focused on education. The distraction caused by social media sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc. That means the academic performance of students also falls due to distraction.

After actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra residence in Mumbai, reports claimed that the actor had been suffering from depression because of professional setbacks engineered by nepotism in Bollywood.
The film industry has been traditionally guilty of promoting family raj at the expense of outsiders. Rajput was a promising actor without being an A-lister or having a godfather in Mumbai. The infinitely bigger developing story of the same period was the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Rajput died on June 14, a period in time when the dreaded virus had been infecting unsuspecting people the world over, including India.
Two and a half months later, India is among the worst-hit nations in the world.

Each new day is the forerunner of bad news with thousands falling sick and many dying a few days after getting infected. The nation’s economy has hurtled towards a big crash with the GDP shrinking by 23.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2020-21.Lakhs of Indians have experienced job losses, among them daily wage earners whose lives are a struggle for survival even under normal circumstances.
Troubled by the news of sickness and deaths, faced with the possibility or reality of unemployment, and aware that there is no reliable vaccine and well-defined route of treatment, many are doing what they can to protect themselves from the wrath of the virus.
Other ‘brave’ ones who are being inexplicably reckless are not only more susceptible to the illness, but the infected ones among them are also guilty of spreading it among those taking precautionary measures. The presence of such irresponsible individuals is a significant worry for the Indian society.
Given a choice between continuous coverage of the pandemic and prolonged focus on the SSR death case, where should the media look? It must concentrate on the pandemic and its aftermath by delivering stories on health, economy and society to the consumer. The entry of the girlfriend in the script (Rhea Chakraborty, a national name now) followed by hysteria on social media enhanced the focus on the case, which is providing with the recipe for action in the media each day.
Cacophonic drama is irresistible for certain news anchors, who are capitalising on the story’s ability to deliver entertainment packages. These anchors are analysing the case endlessly, knowing they will find a captive audience that the coverage of Covid-19 may not guarantee.
The need to find viewers for TV shows and online visitors in an eternal rat race has made rationality disappear in many sections of the media. While that is not a good thing, don’t expect such disproportionate coverage to end anytime soon. The treatment of the Sushant Singh
Rajput case by many TV news channels is a good example of how the interrelated concerns about ratings and revenues drive news coverage in substantial parts of the electronic media. The mainstream electronic news media, it can be argued , has demonstrated a serious lack judgment by distorting national priorities. They also include the pandemic that shows a sign of abating with cases rising exponentially and putting public health system under unbearable strain

Looking back at the past 70 years, China-India relations have moved ahead despite wind and rain and gone through an extraordinary development path. In the 1950s, the leaders of the older generation of the two countries made the historical decision to establish diplomatic relations between China and India, and jointly advocated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. “Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai” (Indians and Chinese are brothers) resounded throughout our two countries. From the 1980s, the two sides agreed to solve the boundary question through peaceful and friendly consultation, established strategic and cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity, and achieved all-round development of bilateral relationship.

Despite 2020 marking 70 years of diplomatic ties between China and India, the border tension over the past month has been heightened again.Troops from the world’s two most populous countries engaged in a physical clash. Although the two Asian giants are not stranger to border incidents, it was the first time in decades that the border dispute turned deadly. The question of whether India can sustain and withstand retaliatory measures from China is one that requires much thought and deliberation from the government. India fears that China is violating rules of origin norms and pumping goods into India through their common trading partners in Asia, by abusing the loopholes in existing trade agreements. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry in India has called into scrutiny various free trade and bilateral agreements that India is roped into, with countries that have similar agreements with China.
India has already refused to sign the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), fearing that it could pave the way to Chinese goods flooding the Indian market and overthrowing domestic manufacturers. However, if we are looking at backing out of other such regional and bilateral agreements as well, India has much more to lose than China does in the long run.
More concerning is the possibility that China may decide to strike back by throwing Indian companies out of China. We are already seeing reports of customs authorities in Hong Kong and China, holding back some consignments of Indian exports after Indian ports started inspecting Chinese imports. This is only going to get worse if India implements a blanket ban on Chinese imports, against all odds.
If India really seeks to check the unregulated flow of Chinese imports in India and create a dent in the Chinese economy, India would have to do a lot more than just cut down imports that are coming in directly from China. We would also have to narrow down all consumer products that are manufactured or processed, even in part, in China before finally being assembled and exported to India from another country. The obvious knee-jerk reaction of shutting down these big brands would only have a minuscule impact, if at all, on the Chinese economy. On the other hand, the question of whether India can sustain and withstand retaliatory measures from China is one that requires much thought and deliberation from the Indian government.
The coronavirus crisis, in particular China’s mismanagement of the initial stages of the outbreak, has generated intensely negative public sentiments against Beijing—in India and many other countries around the world. Countries have demanded an investigation into the origin and handling of Coronavirus. Indian app ‘Remove China Apps’ highlights backlash against Chinese business amongst the Indian public. Its popularity comes amid calls for a boycott of Chinese mobile apps in India as a border dispute in Ladakh fuels a backlash against products from China. It scans a user’s phone for apps such as ByteDance’s TikTok and Alibaba’s UC Browser and removes them. Popular Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev described deletion of Chinese apps as a “national service”.
The COVID-19 pandemic is reviving sentiments against Chinese products in the country. The recent backlash against China over faulty testing kits or alleged suppression of actual numbers of infection are fuelling online campaigns in India urging people to reduce dependence on Chinese electronics and refrain from buying them.Previous boycott calls have focused on Chinese goods, whereas this one especially targets Chinese apps.
This isn’t the first time that Chinese products or brands have drawn flak in India. Some experts point out that in the short term this will raise questions in people’s minds, but in the medium term they don’t see any impact of these campaigns on Chinese companies or products

It has been long since the scientists have been suspecting ocean acidification being the cause of affecting corals’ capacity of forming their skeletons. They were not able to isolate the effect as continuous heating of ocean temperatures due to warmer weather also contributed to effect on coral growth. The scientists of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution came up with new study according to which certain impact of acidification of ocean on reef was seen. The study was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation which was later published in Geophysical Research Letters. In this study, scientists showed a remarkable reduction in coral skeletons’ density due to continuously increasing acidity since the 1950s, of the Great Barrier Reef which is one of the largest coral reef systems in the world.  

Because of the declining pH of the ocean (turning more acidic), the animals like corals are finding it difficult to build their skeletons as acidification of the ocean leads to less density, taking away coral’s strength in the same way as osteoporosis withers human’s bones. The scientists say that it can be easily detected just by seeing them that they are not stronger anymore and it will heavily affect the reef and break it.

Maharaja Gulab Singh brought Dugg-Dugge Brahmins from Rajasthan approximately 170 years back to accept ‘Shani Daan’ and to perform ‘Shani Dev Pooja’ as a priest as Hindu priests were not ready to accept ‘Shani Daan’ and denied to perform such ‘Pooja (worship)’ and accept ‘Daan (alms)’ related to ‘Shani Dev.’ The Brahmins who were bought on special request in 1970’s are now living in inhumane conditions and have not even issued domicile certificates till now. They still collect alms on Saturdays and some of them are seen on roads as astrologers or palmists.

They are scattered in the areas of Ramban and other parts of Jammu region. These communities’ people are still waiting for their domicile certificates whereas Gurkha and Valmiki communities were the first to get it by the BJP leaders after last year’s revocation of Article 370 and 35- A. The administration had been dawdling the matter of issuing Permanent Resident’s Certificate (PRC) to the people who had no land records or ration cards as these are necessary parameters for domicile certificates. They cast their vote in elections every year as they have been issued with Aadhar card  but can’t get PRC in the view of no land of theirs at the place.

There are 27 families comprising 136 members of the impecunious community residing at Maitra in Ramban district. Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, who was the Prime Minister in Jammu and Kashmir at that time had allocated a piece of land at Phelti Maitra in Ramban to the nine families of this community. Though in 2012, the ruling government provided them ration cards which were discarded in 2015-16 due to unknown reasons.  They live in huts or shanties which have electricity connection but no water or toilet facilities and the area in which they reside is known as Bakshi Nagar after the Prime Minister who had provided them at least a place to live.

They can’t get proper education because of poverty, in the whole community there are only two boys who have got college education and a girl whose education is going on. Those two boys also left their education to do some menial work to earn money.

Though they have been given assurance by the government recently that their domicile certificates will be issued soon and it is a ray of light in their lives.
