When Peta’s Credibility Questioned | Time to be a Wise Donar

PETA India, over the years, has earned itself the reputation of being a hypocrite of the highest order. They have been known to selectively target Hindu traditions and customs with religious zeal while giving other religions a free pass. The few occasions PETA India did manage to raise their voice, they quickly silenced themselves due to rousing opposition.

Recently PETA was questioned for its campaign of go-leather-free during the festival of Rakshabandhan. Suspicion was raised when there ad banner had referrings to Rakshabandhan and on the same banner they had mentioned in bold ‘go leather free’. Now the fact is during Rakshabandhan festival everything has to be purely Sanatan (Broader name of Hinduism) that is purely vegetarian. Anything made of leather would actually break the rituals of Praying.


But now, it appears PETA India has found another target. And it is columnist Shefali Vaidya. The NGO in cohorts with Congress and left-liberal trolls has embarked upon a concerted campaign against the columnist for calling out the hypocrisy of the supposed animal rights organisation with regards to Eid where animals are slaughtered and anti-cow leather campaign in times of Rakshabandhan.
However, the campaign against Shefali Vaidya has backfired on them terribly as netizens used the opportunity to expose their hypocrisy. It soon became evident that PETA India is more concerned about the criticism it faces on social media than actual physical attacks on its workers by Islamist mobs.
One social media user pointed out the time when PETA activists were assaulted by a Muslim mob in Bhopal in 2014 for campaigning for vegetarianism ahead of Bakr-Eid. The Police even registered a case under section 295A against three activists for allegedly outraging the religious sentiments of the Muslim community. For some reason, PETA India has been horribly quiet about the incident for some unknown reasons.
Others pointed out that three years after Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor was awarded the title of PETA India’s ‘hottest vegetarian celebrity’, the daughter of Bollywood star Anil Kapoor had taken to consuming chicken and fish.
People also pointed out that less than a week after PETA India gifted Shilpa Shetty Kundra the ‘Hero to Animals’ award, the Bollywood actress could be seen on YouTube preparing a Roast Turkey recipe.
Then there was the case of Richa Chadha who PETA India heaped praises on for being ‘kind to animals’ but the actress was one of those individuals who was resolutely against the ‘beef ban’.
The most disingenuous sign of hypocrisy came from PETA India’s endorsement of Sonam Kapoor. While the Bollywood actress was awarded by the supposed animal’s rights organisation, she endorses products made of 100% animal skin.
Similarly, PETA conferred a ‘Hero to Animals’ award on actress Dia Mirza, who had earlier shared ‘Kachi Yakhni Ki Biryani’ recipe that is made of chicken or any other animal meat.
Why does PETA kill cats and dogs by the thousands instead of finding them homes? Simply, PETA does not believe in pet ownership. Ingrid Newkirk has called pet ownership “an abysmal situation.” She further elaborated on her goal for destroying the human-pet bond: “If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.”
“In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether,” she has said.
Ridiculously, PETA has argued that outdoor cats should be summarily killed instead of allowed to live. In a 2014 interview with the Washington Post, Newkirk argued that outdoor cats would be better off dead because they might contract a future illness or be hit by a car in the future. In PETA’s twisted mind, it’s more humane to just euthanize the animals than for a hypothetical harm to befall them in the future. Similarly, PETA has also argued in court that elephants are better off being killed than living in American zoos where they are well cared for.
PETA’s pro-killing attitude is part of its core—and it should shock any animal lover.

Let it out

If you want so say something to someone then don’t wait for some other time. You never know what happens next. Don’t wait for the most moment. Make the moment perfect. You have to create the moment. Say it when you feel it because you never get the same feeling again.

Believe yourself because no one knows you better than you. Your conscience can say what you need and it does what it wants. You can’t stop it because inner you wants it even though some part of you don’t want it. You never know the importance of the moment during the moment. Speak of amd talk what ever you wanna talk. If you try to hide what you want to speak then that gut feeling will not allow you to speak freely and that hesitation hurts you even more. If you keep on hiding the feel you want to speak then it keeps on hurting you even worse. Let it out by speaking because it makes you free of everything.

Be brave enough to admit the fact or to deny the fact. You never know the presence of something when you have it. Speak and sort out the things you feel pain inside. It’s you who gonna hurt yourself by thinking of killing some one in your mind.

WHY THE GOVER NMENT WANTS YOYOU TO STOP WEARING N95 MASK

In today’s World, face masks have become an important part of our lives. Even though they cause immense discomfort, it has become A safety necessity. This necessity has led to several types of face Masks being available in the market- You get cheap face masks being made of fabric, you get fancy ones with valves in it And you even get funny ones with Smiley images printed on them. , And recently, the indian health ministry has Issued a warning that highlights what you should and should not do with your mask and one of the Is to stop sailing face masks with respirator As they might not be COVID-19 safe As we thought they might be. Rajiv Garg, DGHS, In a letter to all the states and union territories, States, “It is to bring to knowledge that the use of Respirator N95 masks Are detrimental to the For preventing the spread of As it does not prevent the virus from escaping out of the mask.”
“In view of the above I request you to instruct all concerned to follow the use of face/mouth cover and prevent inappropriate use of N95 masks”,he added.
As highlighted by TOI, the problem with N95 mask is the valve that comes fitted with them. N95 masks are essentially a type of PPE that is designed for health care workers as well as for workers at the construction site. The mask is made of material that filters air which is coming in. Most of these masks are fitted with a valve at front that enables better ventilation so it doesn’t feel exhausting to breathe . However, most masks that are circulating in the market only have a one-way valve. Which means, while it does filter the air coming from the outside, it isn’t preventing your breath, from staying in. The valve is acting like an unfiltered outlet to spread outside. The safest, which has been suggested by health ministry is home made masks – washing it in boiling water with salt for five minutes and drying it properly before use.

A menstrual period is vaginal bleeding that occurs at the end of the menstrual cycle. Each month, the female body prepares itself for a possible pregnancy.

The uterus developes a thicker lining and the ovaries release an egg that can be fertilised by sperm. If the egg isn’t fertilised, pregnancy won’t occur during that cycle. The result is a period or menstruation.

The average female will have their 1st period between ages of 11 and 14. Periods will continue regularly that is usually monthly until menopause,or about age 51.

Indoor sports for lockdown:

When we all restock at home without anything to do due to lockdown. So do not depression and monotony get the best of us. So instead of making ourselves sulk in the misery of the present circumstance, in periods of tension, we should do a lot to remain involved and comfortable at home.

Most of us are also concerned about skipping our training hours, fitness lessons, etc. and while it can seem counterintuitive, there are tons of fitness and events that can be carried out indoors. The easiest thing to do right now is to keep ourselves occupied and involved in order to remain optimistic and at the same time look after our bodies.Although it’s natural to start watching binge shows or stay stuck to your screen at moments like these, we highly suggest that you walk around a bit more, play a couple games, and you’re likely to feel much healthier both physically and mentally.

Carrom:

About all of us have carrome boards since adolescence, so now they’re sitting around gathering dust, so if not, it may be a perfect idea to invest in one. The biggest appeal and benefit to carrome is that it offers you a perfect opportunity to invest quality time. As you’re getting to enjoy a lot of fun playing sports, you ‘re still working on your social and concentration abilities at the same fun.

Cards:

Throughout the mobile age, it’s very challenging to communicate to young generations of the value of playing cards with the kids. Card game was our primary form of fun previous to the mobile period, but has now come a long way. This lets us develop our brains, enhances our thinking abilities, creates confidence, and reinforces the family link.

Darts:

Playing darts is a enjoyable and sociable activity. It needs outstanding hand-eye coordination and fast thought. It offers us a exciting task of meeting our target and winning. So for this we need a deep attention and also enhances our sense of concentrating. It also strengthens our mental endurance as it involves a lot of counting and thought. It enhances our hand-eye coordination as well as our paling.

Chess:

Chess is an extremely advantageous past time as playing chess results in increased brain performance, enhanced memory and cognitive skills, analytical reasoning, and improved focus.In reality, today’s teachers and parents have found that chess is a perfect opportunity to teach small children abstract principles and valuable thought habits that they will utilize their whole life. Patience is one of the most beneficial qualities that chess teaches children as they learn to calm down and take their time to experience a whole new universe.

Table Tenis:

But table tennis is essentially an indoor activity, so you don’t actually require a table tennis court. Transform every table (including your dining table) in a table tennis table with the aid of a roller net that is connected to every table or much better if you don’t have a partner, play wall table tennis by hitting the wall back and forth with the support of a wall.Table tennis also provides a strong transition of specific skills to other sports such as hand eye coordination, body alignment in room, rapid time answer, etc., which can provide an edge while playing certain sports such as basketball, tennis baseball, etc.

Need of afforestation

Afforestationrefers to the process of converting a non-forest land into a forest. Afforestation is highly important to maintain the biodiversity.

India is an emerging or developing country whereas the controlling of Carbon emission is very much challenging for the policy makers. The main reason is that India needs much more versatile industries to create jobs for unemployment youths which can directly increase the per capita income and the overall GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

Large industries and power plants need a large area to set up its facilities. In India, deforestation has happened in the past for creating Infrastructure (National Highways, Airports, etc.), Industries (Steel, Power, Fast Moving Consumer Goods – FMCG, Engineering, etc.), Mining (Coal, Minerals, Metals, etc.), Oil and Gas exploration, Thermal Power plants, etc.

Hence, Afforestation is necessary to combat the issues of global warming, soil erosion, pollution, and the maintenance of biodiversity and ecological balances. There are two ways, i.e. afforestation and reforestation, the development of new forest on a non-forest land is called afforestation, but reforestation means the reestablishment of the forest cover by either naturally or artificially (manual planting of trees).Trees useswater and carbon-dioxide (CO2) to convert it intoorganic matter (wood) and oxygen. Thus, trees acts as the natural air-purifiers and helps relieve the environment. Considering the need of afforestation in India, many government, private and NGOs are engaged to create new forests through afforestation method to purify theenvironment, maximize the carbon capture, and control the soil erosion.

The total forest area was 40.48 million hectare in 1950 and then it was increased to 67.47 million hectare forest area in 1980. And finally 69 million hectare area was under forest had been reported in 2006. So massive 70.5% increase of area undercover forests had been seen between the periodsof 1950 to 2006 due to afforestation.In India, 23% of overall land is under forest areas which are grouped into 5 major categories i.e.
1.Subtropical Dry Deciduous (38.2%)
2.Tropical Moist Deciduous (30.3%)
3.Subtropical Thorn (6.7%)
4.Tropical Wet Evergreen forests (5.8%)
5.Other categories (Pine, Temperate and Alpine, Tropical semi evergreen) – 17.5%

A large number of trees are planted during the afforestation process. On one hand, it helps the environment by reducing the CO2 level. On the other hand, the fruit bearing trees becomes the source of food for a large country like India.

Being a shopaholic

It is one of the most interested, as well as overlooked, talk points of the modern century, particularly teenagers. We live in a community where we pretend to be down-to-earth by supporting the poor and vulnerable, while at the same time make them believe like they are not equal to the one who helped them. Society has greater confidence in the line “The first impression is the last impression” than “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Here what we call shopping addiction comes into the picture. So is it fair enough to link being a shopaholic and being materialistic?

Materialism, also referred to as physicalism, is, in theory, the belief that all facts (including facts concerning the human will and the course of human history) are causally or even reducible to real processes. For Marx and Engels, materialism meant that the natural universe, perceptible to the senses, had an empirical truth independent of mind or spirit. They did not deny the reality of mental or spiritual processes but affirmed that ideas could arise only as products and reflections of material conditions.

A shopaholic is a person who buys items not because he needs them, but because he likes them. And there’s a difference here. I’m not saying that buying things, and human desires are any sort of compulsion, but buying stuff simply for the sake of showing off is not a positive thing. Often it’s cool to buy the stuff you want, but to do so all the time and expose it to everyone is materialism.

Types of Shopaholics

1-Shop when they’re angry or upset: it’s not bad to be in this category until a frequent practice is practiced. Unless you’ve started to shop now and then. So this custom is putting you in debt. So you’re not just unpracticing this because you don’t have enough resources, because having to do so will lead to more anger.

2-Trophy shopaholics who just seek to find the right piece: these people purchase items because they consider them appealing and they think it’s nice to get the particular item regardless of how much it’s needless for them. Usually, they don’t look at money when they like something and want it at any cost.

3 – Shopaholics who like the reputation of being a big spender: they are someone who wants to show off at a far greater degree than most because their picture of culture is more important than everything else. They have an obsession with their status in society, and they judge everything from that perspective alone.

4-Bargain-seekers who buy when the item is on sale: they do not need any other excuse than because there is a discount on this particular item and they will need it in the future, or even someone else wants it. I’m not suggesting that buying anything for future use is not worth it, so at least you can know when you’re going to need it in the future.

Many people develop shopping addictions because they are addicted to how their brain feels when it comes to shopping. When they buy, their brains produce endorphins and dopamine, and over time, they become addicted. A professor of behavioral health sciences, Engs argues that 10 to 15 percent of the population could be predisposed to these emotions.

In certain situations, it can be impossible to predict whether you are a shopaholic or a loved one. A lot of people enjoy shopping, and a lot of people always waste so much money on this operation. It’s important to remember that going out once in a while doesn’t mean you ‘re a shopper. However, there are several signs and symptoms of shopping addicts that you might want to look for.

The short-term effects of a shopping addiction may be positive. In many cases, after a shopping trip, you may feel happy. However, such emotions are often combined with fear or remorse, and in most situations, remorse or fear may send you back to the store for even more shopping.

The long-term consequences of shopping addiction can vary in severity and duration. Most shoppers face financial difficulties, so they may be overburdened with debt. In some cases, they may max out their credit cards, but in some situations, they may take out a second mortgage on their house or make transactions on their company credit card. If you are addicted to shopping, your relationships can suffer as well. You that end up getting divorced or distancing yourself from your friends, children, or other loved ones.

NEP 2020 – A Maverick

By Udbhav Bhargava

The New Education policy (NEP) 2020 shares ideas to revamp education, teaching and assessment systems in schools, colleges. Two changes it envisions have sought most attention of students and parents across the country.

  • The 10+2 system will be divided into 5+3+3+4 format.
  • NEP expands age group 6-14 years of mandatory schooling to 3-18 years of schooling.

NEP on Board Examinations

Board exams will start for grades 10 and 12, but they will be of low value. The focus will be on concept testing and the application of knowledge. Students will get a second opportunity to improve their score at boards. Students will be able to select many of the disciplines and the ‘level’ at which they will take Board examinations. No hard distinction can take place between ‘curricular,’ ‘extracurricular,’ or ‘co-curricular,’ between ‘arts,’ ‘humanities,’ and ‘sciences,’ or between ‘vocational’ or ‘academic’ streams. In the same point, co-curriculum and vocational subjects such as athletics, music, commerce, science will be dealt with. Students may choose to take courses according to their preferences. Peer and instructor feedback will be infused in the schooling system along with inculcation of skills such as interpretation, logical thinking and conceptual clarity.

When will the change take place?

The reform of the school curriculum will come in the form of a new National Curricular Structure for School Education, to be implemented by the National Council for Educational Study and Training

Language importance in NEP

The NEP relies on the mother tongue of the students as the medium of instruction. “Wherever possible, the teaching medium shall be the home language, the mother tongue, the local language or the regional language until at least Grade 5 but ideally until Grade 8 and beyond. The home or local language shall consequently continue to be taught as a language wherever possible. Public and private schools will carry on from this. Research indicates that children are extremely quick to pick up languages between the ages of 2 and 8 and that multilingualism has significant cognitive benefits for young students, children should be exposed to multiple languages early on. The ‘Three language rule’ will proceed but there will be no language forced on anyone. It should be Indian, in at least two of the three languages. The NEP recommends only the mother tongue as an instructional medium, and does not make it obligatory. When the Center published the initial NEP draft in May 2019, it included a clause stipulating Hindi ‘s teaching as part of the school ‘s three-language formula. The Center soon released a revised phrasing of the clause following a backlash by Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and other states. Common entrance exam for admissions  

The National Testing Agency ( NTA) will administer a Joint Entrance Exam (CEE) for university admissions across the country.  A general aptitude test will be held at least twice a year, as well as comprehensive specific subject tests in sciences, humanities, languages, music, and vocational subjects.

Professional Education

Indian Higher Education Commission(HECI) will be formed as a single general umbrella body for entire higher education, except medical and legal education.

Reforms for HIE  

To step towards a system of higher education consisting of broad, multidisciplinary universities and colleges. Those institutions offering single streams must be phased out and that all universities and colleges must aspire to become multidisciplinary by 2040. At least one university in or close every HEI district across India offering local/Indian language medium of instruction or programs. Moving towards faculty and institutional autonomy; revamping curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and student support for improved student experience; reaffirming the dignity of faculty and institutional leadership roles through merit appointments and career advancement based on teaching, research, and service. Establishment of a National Research Foundation to fund excellent peer-reviewed work in universities and colleges and actively seed work. Governance for higher education institutions should pursue a “light but strong” approach to regulation by a single central higher education regulator.

4 year Courses

FYUP – Four Year Undergraduate Program Multiple Exit Options Academic Credit Bank for the digital collection of academic credits received from various HEIs so that they can be transferred to the final degree earned. The phasing-out of college affiliation in 15 years and a phase-wise mechanism for granting graded autonomy to colleges shall be established.

The Big Picture it envisions

The NEP offers only a specific path and is not necessary. Since education is a subject on the concurrent list, the proposed reforms can only be implemented in collaboration between the Center and the states. The government has set a 2040 target for the full policy to be implemented.
