Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be on a two-day visit to forward areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh starting today. Army Chief General M M Naravane will accompany the Defence Minister. During the visit, they will review the security situation in Eastern Ladakh.

AIR correspondent quoting official sources reports that senior Defence officials including the Northern Army Commander will also  accompany Mr Singh. This will be the Defence Minister’s first visit to Ladakh since the faceoff with China commenced.

Mr Singh is likely to visit Atal Tunnel, previously known as Rohtang Tunnel, named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This is a highway tunnel being built under the Rohtang Pass in the eastern Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas on the Leh-Manali Highway. At 8.8 km length, the tunnel will be one of the longest road tunnels in the country and is expected to reduce the distance between Manali and Keylong by about 46 kilometres. Strategically important Manali-Leh highway is used by the Army to transport essential material to the soldiers deployed in the border areas of Ladakh.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today deliver a keynote address virtually at this year’s High-Level Segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council session to be held at the UN headquarters in New York.

The Prime Minister will be speaking at the valedictory session along with his Norwegian counterpart and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The annual High-level Segment convenes a diverse group of representatives from the Government, the private sector, civil society and academia. The theme of this year’s High-level Segment is Multilateralism after COVID19: What kind of UN do we need at the 75th anniversary.

Our correspondent reports, this session will focus on critical forces shaping the course of multilateralism and explore ways to bolster the global agenda through strong leadership, effective international institutions, a broadening of participation and enhanced significance of global public goods.

This will be the first opportunity for Mr Modi to address the broader UN membership since India’s overwhelming election as a non-permanent member of the Security Council on 17th of last month, for the term 2021-22. 

The newly amended law provides for granting of Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

The law will not be extended to Rohingya Muslims persecuted in Myanmar; Shia and Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan; Hazaras, Tajiks and Uzbeks in Afghanistan; Tamils in Sri Lanka; and atheists in Bangladesh.

The CAA, combined with the proposed nationwide NRC, risks disenfranchising Muslims across the country as it provides a pathway to citizenship for non-Muslims but has no remedies for Muslims caught up in NRC processes .This new citizenship law violates the fundamental right under Article 14 of the Indian constitution that guarantees equal protection of laws, even to the aliens, in the territory of India.

BJP, the ruling party in India, has a stated goal of Hindutva

The ideological body of the BJP is Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, which derives a lot of its inspiration from Nazi Germany. The RSS believes in Hindu supremacy. It believes that, after the partition of India, if Pakistan was created for Muslims, then Muslims should be treated as second-class citizens and the concept of secularism should be removed from the Indian Constitution. So, ever since this government has come to power, it has been taking decisions to appease the Hindu majority. Everybody’s been calling the Citizenship Amendment bill a distraction from the economic failures. It is not. It is basically a project of Modi’s fascism. The “Hindu Rashtra” (Hindu Nation) is basically a country which will be for Hindus where Hindus will have the first take to all the resources in the country.If the government of the day is indeed concerned about the persecuted minorities in neighboring countries, why is it that only Muslims have been singled out to not be given citizenship? Myanmar is also a neighboring country, where we have persecuted Rohingya community, and the Indian government has called Rohingyas a security threat to the to the idea of India.

If the government of the day is indeed concerned about the persecuted minorities in neighboring countries, why is it that only Muslims have been singled out to not be given citizenship? Myanmar is also a neighboring country, where we have persecuted Rohingya community, and the Indian government has called Rohingyas a security threat to the to the idea of India.

It feels like a nightmare to be a Muslim in India because every day since Mr. Modi assumed power in 2014 is an attack on the Muslim identity in this country. 

Conclusion

There has been 80% rise in hate crimes against Muslims between 2014 and 2020, when Muslims were lynched on suspicion of eating beef, Muslims were lynched on suspicion of marrying a Hindu girl. So, every day there is an attack on their religious identity. So it’s become difficult to live as a Muslim, as a self-respecting Muslim, in the Indian democracy ever since Narendra Modi has come to power. Even the educational institutions, Jamia and AMU were not debarred from their dirty politics. Police entered illegally in University premises and brutally tortured and beaten up the students with stun grenades and expired tear gas shells on 15th December 2019.

India has for long been known as a vibrant land that set flawless examples in the cherished values of pluralism and unity in diversity, but a controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) ,introduced by the Narendra Modi government reeks of a narrow agenda aimed at marginalising the country’s 200 million Muslims.

The NGT ordered the Ministry of Environment and Forests to issue a notification banning RO purifiers within two months in which total dissolved solids (TDS) in water are below 500 milligrams per liter (mg/l). The bench, led by NGT Chairman of Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, said the delay in compliance with the order is causing harm to human health and the environment, and it shall be promptly complied with.
In an attempt to control the use of RO purifiers, the NGT had issued directions to the government to ban them where total dissolved solids (TDS) in water are below 500 mg/l, and to spread public awareness of the negative effects of demineralized water. The tribunal also directed the authorities for mandatorily implement norms for recovery more than 60 percent of the water wherever RO is allowed throughout the country.
The order came after a report from an advisory group that said that if TDS is less than 500 milligrams per liter, a RO device would not be useful, but will contribute to the removal of essential minerals as well as causing undue wastage of water. This well-planned step was an appropriate response to the plea filed by an NGO Friends seeking to protect drinking water by avoiding its wastage due to excessive use of RO systems. The issued directive will have multifaceted implications on potable water resources, physical health of the masses, and the Indian water purifier industry worth 34 billion (INR).

Demineralized water and associated risks

As a result of distillation, deionization, membrane filtration (reverse osmosis or Nanofiltration), electro-dialysis, or other technology, the treated water is almost or completely free of dissolved minerals. This is demineralized water. In such water, the total dissolved solids (TDS) may vary but TDS could be as low as 1mg/l (As per WHO).
TDS is composed of both inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter. According to a WHO report, concentrations of TDS below 300 mg/l are considered outstanding, whereas 900 mg/l is said to be bad and over 1200 mg/l is unacceptable. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses pressure to drive molecules through a semipermeable membrane to extract contaminants from water.

Demineralized water that has not been re-mineralized, or water with low mineral content – in the absence or substantial lack of essential minerals in it – is not considered ideal drinking water, and therefore, its regular consumption may not provide adequate levels of certain beneficial nutrients. It is considered to be an extreme case of low-mineral or soft water because it contains only small amounts of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are the major contributors to hardness.
• Minimized intake of low-mineral water calcium and magnesium.
• High intake of some essential elements and microelements from high-mineral water.
• Possible increased intake of toxic metals into the diet.
• Water is more susceptible to bacterial contamination.

In the Indian context, demineralization takes place in the homes through purifiers, further eliminating the scope of re-mineralization. Furthermore, according to various sources, to get a liter of RO-treated water, 3 liters of water is wasted by the purifier. India’s water problem is also attributed to a lack of state planning, increased privatization of companies, industrial and human waste, and corruption by governments. However, water scarcity is expected to intensify in India as the population overall is estimated to rise to 1.6 billion by 2050. To a certain end, it is predicted that global water shortages will become a leading cause of mainstream political conflict in the future, and the prognosis for India is no different.

Hence, active and stringent implementation from the ministry is needed in the long-term ahead. It is an inherent demand of this directive, since, both public health and water resources of the country are at stake. Any degradation or deterioration in any of them will have intensified repercussions on the human resources, living standards, the economy, and in turn on the GDP of the country (taking a larger timeframe into consideration).

TV, radio, cinema slides, hoard­ings, posters etc. are other different sources of advertisement. Small documentary films are also prepared by some manufacturers for their products as a means of advertisement.

Apple’s ecosystem is huge. Nearly one billion people use more than one billion Apple devices. Or as sales for the iPhone decline, Apple brings tens of millions of young people into its ecosystem every year. However, we are getting to the point where it is wise to start thinking about what user growth means to Apple.

Number of users

Estimating the number of Apple users is a straightforward task. Last January, Apple revealed that there are more than 900 million iPhones in the wild. Given that iPhones are not routinely shared, Apple’s revelation revealed that there are nearly 900 million people using iPhones. With the actual number of iPhones in the wild probably now over 925 million, there is an aggressive room for that number of 900 million users in the rare cases of people using more than one iPhone.

Apple also revealed that there are eighteen billion active devices (1.4 billion) on the foundations installed since January 2019. The number has grown by 100 million devices in the last 12 months and has even increased by 400 million devices over the past three years. This tells us that there are 500 million Apple devices in use other than iPhones. Most of those devices are 500 million iPads. The Mac represents another 110 million devices, and a collection of home textiles and accessories make up the remaining devices.
Apple’s production apps such as Pages, Numbers and Keynotes are powerful ways to use Microsoft Office suite and now supporting integration with iCloud makes sharing files easier and easier.

Group FaceTime is also a great addition because it can support multi-user interactions with Apple devices which can indicate headaches than third-party teleconferencing apps and there is a Message that lets you reply to conversations on all your devices.

My main app is Notes now as it supports sharing and collaboration, it’s easy enough to share things like lists or combine all folders to share with others, be it work or hobbies.

The negative trend is probably the need for everyone to be in the ecosystem and unlike Google or Microsoft, you can’t deny that Apple is a crossroads.

Also, most iOS apps are available on other platforms so in the event that, like most workplaces, you work with people with a variety of devices, there are still ways for everyone to work collaboratively from where they are, regardless of their hardware.
Apple has an excellent ecosystem for all electronic retailers. There is no question. No other player in the technology industry does both software and software at least not on all platforms, and Apple creates both Hardware and software for phones, tablets, computers, TVs. You call it the apple ecosystem. This gives Apple some great benefits when it comes to their programs such as amazing upgrades to iOS and MacOS, and greater security, services, etc, but it also means their ecosystem is compatible. It just works, The apple devices integration with apple devices develops the best apple experience to the user.
