Media is misleading today’s youth. It has become a very powerful mode of disseminating information. Youth is exposed to a lot of unwanted information at a very young age. This is adversely affecting their mentality and psychology. They get distracted and, without analysing the whole scenario, grasp things according to their convenience. Social Media is the most powerful mode of the media, as it reaches every home. It is because of Social media that our youth is getting attracted to Western culture and forgetting their own rich values and culture. Also, too many options and distorted information in many forms of media confuse them in making decisions in life. People should check and think thorough before posting anything. Other forms of media should also understand their responsibility and use their liberty to guide youth instead of misleading them. Media is a pillar on which rests the progress of any society. Thus, its power should be positively harnessed to reap the maximum benefits for all.
Crime against women
Today, the greatest numbers of crimes are committed against women. They are harassed, tortured and ill-treated. The lure of making easy money has led to outrageous demands for dowry. Brides are harassed and burnt alive if they do not bring sufficient dowry. Many such newly married women commit suicide to save their parents from humiliation. Some become call-girls and prostitutes after going through harrowing experiences in married life. All these actions are possible because women are considered physically weaker than men and find it very difficult to retaliate to physical violence. The basic reason behind all this is the patriarchal nature of our society, in which men are dominating in all spheres of life.
Today, it is possible to determine the sex of the unborn child. This has led to the abhorrent practice of female foeticide. Even though this practice has been outlawed many years ago, it continues due to pressure from the society.
Eve-teasing is common everywhere and women are treated as sex objects Abduction and rape are everyday occurrences. Even minor girls are not spared Working women are exploited at their workplaces, especially by their male seniors. They are subjected to sexual harassment frequently. Women are criminally assaulted in police lock-ups and even the so-called protective homes are not safe for them. The remedy lies in women’s education and economic independence. Stringent laws must be made to protect the interests of women. Above all, the moral atmosphere of society must undergo a complete transformation.
Critical calculation analysis
Arranging all the rhetorical questions about calculating rational amount of information regarding what a certain business influencer is putting in , critical examinations amongst the current influencers make the picture clear with the utmost material oriented strategies for technical purposes. But that’s where it all goes wrong and all the calculations that are been made in order to put strategies in a sequence order are just for the keepsake or company. It also gets into the facts hat completing this and actually putting together your very own influencer marketing strategy that you can share with others. All the strict scrutinization helps you calculate something that nobody thinks you can calculate. It is the return on your marketing investment. Now, I chose my words very carefully because there are a lot of people out there who will ask you to calculate your return on investment because you don’t know when you have the game going on in the business and when you don’t , as an influencer. Understanding how to calculate the return on marketing investment allows you to do lots of interesting things. One of the things that you can do is answer that rhetorical question I asked at the beginning. These cases of observations are skeptical but you want to be able to do these kind of calculations yourself before you look at any of the investments that you make in influencer marketing. By being able to do them, you will have differentiated yourself from the vast majority of influence marketers who are just hoping that this stuff works. You need to look at your incremental revenue attributable to marketing. That’s the first piece of data you need to have. Fortunately, we all have now learned how we can track this as a general form of information that is mainstream. That is where you get to learn and preach how to calculate your economic value and you can attribute it to your influencer marketing because you’ve got that tracking leg. This isn’t open for dispute, you’ve got it numbered down. The second member you need to know is your contribution margin or what a lot of companies will call their profit margin. Now this is harder to know. This is one of those things that most companies try to keep secret, but if you work inside the organization you can basically explain if you want me to do the calculations, where I can calculate the profit you got to give me a number. And if they don’t give you a number, they are reluctant to give you a number you need to come up with some kind of reasonable estimate and we’re going to give you a couple here that you can work with.
Basic and minor details and credentials as such in a critical business game are actually tremendous in the eyes of market values and their strategies so you’re getting a normal return on marketing investment. But that’s the deal, that’s how you calculate this. It’s not just the incremental revenue you need to know that. But that incremental revenue is then divided by you got to pay for producing that product, you got to focus on profits which will set you apart. Growing through your focus and maintaining a fresh eye on how your business grows is one of the most carefully handled things and when one learns to do it tha actual game is on.
Passive Euthanasia in India
What is Passive euthanasia?
Passive euthanasia is a condition where there is withdrawal of medical treatment with the deliberate intention to hasten the death of a terminally-ill patient.Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering.
The word “euthanasia” was first used in a medical context by Francis Bacon in the 17th century, to refer to an easy, painless, happy death, during which it was a “physician’s responsibility to alleviate the ‘physical sufferings’ of the body.” Bacon referred to an “outward euthanasia”—the term “outward” he used to distinguish from a spiritual concept—the euthanasia “which regards the preparation of the soul.”
In current usage, euthanasia has been defined as the “painless inducement of a quick death”
On 9 March 2018 the Supreme Court of India legalised passive euthanasia by means of the withdrawal of life support to patients in a permanent vegetative state. The decision was made as part of the verdict in a case involving Aruna Shanbaug, who had been in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) until her death in 2015.
On 9 March 2018, the Supreme Court of India, passed a historic judgement-law permitting Passive Euthanasia in the country. This judgment was passed in wake of Pinki Virani’s plea to lust highest court in December 2009 under the Constitutional provision of “Next Friend”. It is a landmark law which places the power of choice in the hands of the individual, over government, medical or religious control which sees all suffering as “destiny”.
Active euthanasia, including the administration of lethal compounds for the purpose of ending life, is still illegal in India.
In 2018 the Supreme Court of India declared through a five-judge Constitution bench that, if strict guidelines are followed, the government would honor “living wills” allowing consenting patients to be passively euthanized if the patient suffers from a terminal illness or is in a vegetative state.
The Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment allowing “living will” where, an adult in his conscious mind, is permitted to refuse medical treatment or voluntarily decide not to take medical treatment to embrace death in a natural way. In the judgment, the court laid down a set of guidelines for “living will” and defined passive euthanasia and euthanasia as well.
The court stated the rights of a patient would not fall out of the purview of Article 21 (right to life and liberty) of the Indian Constitution.
NEW DIMENSION IN INDIAN HISTORY- ARUNA’s CASE
Aruna Shanbaug, who was working as a nurse at KEM Hospital, was assaulted on the night of November 27, 1973 by a ward boy. He sodomised Aruna after strangling her with a dog chain. The attack left Aruna blind, paralysed and speechless and she went into a coma from which she has never come out. She is cared for by KEM hospital nurses and doctors. The woman does not want to live any more. The doctors have told her that there is no chance of any improvement in her state. Her next friend (a legal term used for a person speaking on behalf of someone who is incapacitated) describes Shanbaug: “her bones are brittle. Her skin is like ‘Paper Mache’ stretched over a skeleton. Her wrists are twisted inwards; her fingers are bent and fisted towards her palms, resulting in growing nails tearing into the flesh very often. Her teeth are decayed and giving her immense pain. Food is completely mashed and given to her in semisolid form. She chokes on liquids and is in a persistent vegetative state.” So, she, through her ‘next friend’ Pinki Virani, decided to move the SC with a plea to direct the KEM Hospital not to force feed her. And on 16th December 2009, the Supreme Court of India admitted the woman’s plea to end her life. The Supreme Court bench compromising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices A K Ganguly and B S Chauhan agreed to examine the merits of the petition and sought responses from the Union Government, Commissioner of Mumbai Police and Dean of KEM Hospital.
On 24th January 2011, the Supreme Court of India responded to the plea for euthanasia filed by Aruna’s friend journalist Pinki Virani, by setting up a medical panel to examine her. The three-member medical committee subsequently set up under the Supreme Court’s directive, checked upon Aruna and concluded that she met “most of the criteria of being in a permanent vegetative state”. However, it turned down the mercy killing petition on 7th March, 2011. The court, in its landmark judgement, however allowed passive euthanasia in India. While rejecting Pinki Virani’s plea for Aruna Shanbaug’s euthanasia, the court laid out guidelines for passive euthanasia. According to these guidelines, passive euthanasia involves the withdrawing of treatment or food that would allow the patient to live.
Conclusion
Ms Shanbaug has, however, changed forever India’s approach to the contentious issue of euthanasia. The verdict on her case allows passive euthanasia contingent upon circumstances. So other Indians can now argue in court for the right to withhold medical treatment – take a patient off a ventilator, for example, in the case of an irreversible coma. This judgement makes it clear that passive euthanasia will “only be allowed in cases where the person is in persistent vegetative state or terminally ill.”
Take chance of Covid 19
Whenever there arise economy crash down , we came to witness a decline throughout History a Global emission. The air pollution has reduced , skies became clear and water bodies also improved in some polluted cities , the sky have turned from dusty to blue. This opportunity came into hand when declared by PM Narendra Modi , the first lockdown . So , we came across some benefited positive change throughout India along with the pandemic situation , which was not possible to achieve before. Although we are benefited from the situation , but if we focus then we are left in a poorer world ,financially crisis , few jobs and other added anxieties/ depression.

Real friends are fake
Every person is a friend until he wants something from you. I thought that real friends are rare but now realised that they never exist. I believed in friendship and was happy to have such friends until a day came. I never thought atleast it in a dream. I was happy being with them untill I became sad.
My friend’s friend became my friend until he became my enemy in an incident. May be I was wrong and may be I might deserve that. I thought of having a good relationship with them until a day then. No one ever tried to console me. They had their priorities until I left with none. I never cried in my under graduation but that pain of being ignored ny your true friends can’t be expressed. The pain of being ignored made me feel more than the pain that left after quarrelling.
There’s no need to share happy moments but it’s important to share your sadness with your friend. A friend should hold us in sadness. I felt alone at that moment and felt being ignored by them. I too tried to fake a friendship with them. But that never existed long. I am not like them. I feel the pain of my sorrow and as well as them. I don’t why I am feeling alone during friendship day. Till yesterday I was ok with what I feel. But all of sudden something happened to me because of my expectations on my friend. Friend never helps it’s we who hope a lot from him. Stop depending on them and start believing in yourself.
I feel like writing more and more because it’s the only thing with whom I can share my feelings. Last year this day was different. I completely believed in friendship. May be its due to my bitter experiences in life made me so. Hope someday someone make me feel what true friendship is. I don’t know why am I feeling like this that too this day. I never felt to cry while writing because I quit writing while I am about to cry. But this sorrow is making me to write more and more so as to minimise my sadness. I was always alone and felt as though I had got everything I needed untill then. Everyone will feel the same at some saturated point in your life. Friendship ends sooner or later. It’s you or the person on the other side had to leave a thread and make you fall like thug of war.
It’s not what I wrote it’s what I felt. So never try to have expectations because till yesterday bI was fine till I started thinking. If you wanna hold fake friendships then start being fake because no one gonna make you feel happy when you are sad. I am the victim of my own expectations.
Superiority of “knowing it all”
Calculating all the technicalities of what type of influencers we see in today’s society gets us to a point of being aware that there are people who are yet to do their evolvement as a rational human being because , being an influencer must teach you to be open to all sorts of learning and if there’s any learning left to do the certain influencer should be ready to do it. The “I know it all” attitude doesn’t go well with today’s influencers because everyone’s just a basic human who needs a lot of learning to do even though they’ve been seeing all types of factors effecting their work. And basically, if you get into what makes them tick, they think, “My opinion is worth more than gold in my space.” Now, they understand that they are not experts in everything but in their community, in their area, they are the ones that people turn to. Well, the key here is to create value for their community. In other words, they can’t be bought, but they can be convinced. So, they’re interested in anything that brings value to their audience. And if you can help them on that quest, on that mission, you reinforce their authority and their community, and they’re with you even though no paychecks pass hands. looking at influencers and trying to analyze what bucket do I put them in, understand that the authority works a little differently than the celebrity and, oh, by the way, it’s going to work a little differently with some of the other types that we’ll take a look at. Now, there is a third kind of influencer I like to call connectors. Even if the influencer is partly evolved he needs to be open for rational thinking and sensible learning which helps him get through hard and robust times.
If you understand that these connectors like to connect the dots, they like to create links, that’s what makes them tick. Basically then, that means you need to figure out a way to help them grow their network because they live in a network. They would look at your product and they would write papers and other people would base their purchasing decisions based on what they wrote. And at one point in time, I was actually in charge of analyst relations for one of the high tech companies I worked at. So these type of connectors and influencers are essential for today’s world and there are certain assortments in that too. You want to give them access to insider insights and to new data that they can analyze, but you don’t want to try to impose your analysis on them. They’re experts in this field. Eventually , all these connectors and influencers get through it.
Analyzing Administrative Adjudication
The Administrative Tribunals rendering Administrative equity comprise a side-effect of the government assistance state. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century when ‘free enterprise’ hypothesis held influence, law courts rose out as the caretaker of the rights and freedoms of the individual residents. On occasion they also ensured the privileges of the residents at the expense of the State authority.
With the rise of government assistance state, social intrigue started to be given a precedence over the individual rights. The current legal executive neglected to maintain the new framework. In the expressions of Robson, “with the expansion during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries of the functions of the legislature to one new field after another, with the dynamic confinement of the privileges of the people in light of a legitimate concern for the wellbeing, security and general government assistance of the community overall, with the improvement of aggregate power over the states of work and way of living and the rudimentary necessities of the individuals changed. There has emerged a requirement for a method of settling better fitted to react to the social prerequisites of the time than the intricate and exorbitant arrangement of choice gave by case in the courtrooms. In brief the new arrangement of authoritative arbitration fit new social finishes upheld by a government assistance state. It demonstrated a potential instrument for authorizing social arrangement and enactment.
Anything which tends or might be viewed as tending to make an individual choose a case in any case than on proof must be held to be one-sided. The primary prerequisite is that the appointed authority ought to be unprejudiced and common and must be liberated from inclination. One can’t go about as judge of a reason in which he himself has some intrigue either monetary or in any case as it manages the most grounded evidence against impartiality. One must be in a situation to act judicially and to choose the issue impartially. In the event that the appointed authority is liable to
inclination for or against either gathering to the debate or is in a place that a predisposition can be accepted, he is precluded to go about as an adjudicator and the procedures will be vitiated.
Equity can never be checked whether a man goes about as an appointed authority in his own motivation or is himself keen on its result. This rule applied not exclusively to legal procedures yet in addition to semi legal and managerial procedures. In responding to the inquiry with respect to what alleviation the individual is qualified for on account of the court when the disappointment of characteristic equity has happened, it is that down to earth contemplations ought to win as opposed to attempting to address the inquiry by applying such unfeeling words as “void” and “voidable” or theoretical rationale.
The cases don’t delineate uniform methodology in the matter of giving extreme alleviation by the court when the
disappointment of regular equity including giving of reasons has happened. In the matter of disappointment of Audi alteram partem the courts have received any of the three options as the equity of the circumstance requested—just subduing the request, not suppress the request yet keeping up the state of affairs and guiding the administration to give a consultation, lastly suppress as well as disallowing the legislature from reexamining the issue.
Further, the Supreme Court has faltered in giving further help normally spilling out of the subduing of the request. Most definitely, where the reasons host nor been provided to the get-together nor to the court, the assignment of the legal executive is to some degree simple. The courts have pretty much suppressed the regulatory request. In such a case, there isn’t the main disappointment of common equity however the non-correspondence of reasons might be demonstrative of the way that the authority has not applied its psyche to the issue. Where, be that as it may, the reasons have been given to the court, however not to the gathering, the cases don’t portray a uniform methodology.
In various cases, the court has maintained the authoritative request once it is fulfilled that the reasons set under the
steady gaze of the court legitimized the equivalent. There are a couple of cases likewise despite what might be expected. Here maybe the issue may must be settled based on equity however the idea of equity is a liquid and escaping one.
India vs Pakistan, Let’s explore the most tensed parameters.
Cricket
The India–Pakistan cricket rivalry is one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world. The tense relations between the two nations, resulting from bitter diplomatic relationships and conflict that originated during the Partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947, the Indo-Pakistani Wars, and the Kashmir conflict, laid the foundations for the emergence of an intense sporting rivalry between the two nations who had shared a common cricketing heritage.
The two sides first played in 1952, when Pakistan toured India. Test and, later, limited overs series have been played ever since, although a number of planned tours by both sides have been cancelled or aborted due to political factors. No cricket was played between the two countries between 1962 and 1977 due to two major wars in 1965 and 1971 and the 1999 Kargil War and the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have also interrupted cricketing ties between the two nations.
The growth of large expatriate populations from both countries across the world led to neutral venues, including the United Arab Emirates and Canada, hosting bilateral and multilateral One Day International (ODI) series involving the two teams and the teams have met during International Cricket Council (ICC) competitions. Tickets for matches in which the two teams play each other at international competitions are in high demand, with over 800,000 applications for tickets made for the 2019 Cricket World Cup meeting between the two sides.
Players from both teams routinely face intense pressure to win and are threatened by extreme reactions in defeat. Extreme fan reactions to defeats in key matches have been recorded, with a limited degree of hooliganism. At the same time, India–Pakistan matches have also offered opportunities for cricket diplomacy as a means to improve relations between the two countries by allowing heads of state to exchange visits and cricket followers from either country to travel to the other to watch the matches.
IAF’s Wing Commander Abhinandan
On the day of February 27th 2019 both India and Pakistan said they shot down each other’s fighter jets on , with Pakistan capturing an Indian pilot a day after Indian warplanes struck inside Pakistan for the first time since the 1971 Liberation War, reports Reuters.
Earlier, India carried out air raids on rebel camps inside Pakistan weeks after a suicide attack in the disputed Kashmir region, raising fears of a war between the nuclear-armed South Asian nations.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed a strong response in the wake of the worst attack on soldiers in decades.
Pakistan will return a captured pilot “as a peace gesture” to India, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan said on next day.
But the actual scenario seems to differ, it was reported later that the United States weighed in on the Pakistan Army through high-level military channels to release Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman within hours of his capture on February 27, making it clear to Rawalpindi that it was the only way to de-escalate matters. United States warned Pakistan of India’s strong military response if their wing commander isn’t released at the earliest.
We have seen in the case of Sarabjeet Singh (an Indian abducted and jailed by Pakistan police) that how Pakistan treats Indians into its side of territory. Mr. Sarabjeet was allegedly tortured to death and when his dead body was returned to India, it was later found that vital body parts of Sarabjeet were removed while he was still alive. So it’s obvious that there’s nothing like “peace gesture from Pakistan”. If someone really wish to see a peace gesture, then they should see Shimla treaty signed between India and Pakistan post 1971 Indo-Pak war in which Pakistan lost miserably and around 90,000 of Pakistani soldiers who were initially kept as war prisoners were later released under this treaty.
Hence its clear that which nation wants actual peace and which nation use the term of peace only for causing propaganda at United nations and the rest of world. It seems Pakistan would never change its attitude but India has moved on with its motive to boost its economy and parallel help other countries in Humanitarian operations. Where Pakistan is seen as terror camping underdeveloped and unsafe nation for business, India’s potential is being explored by great economies of the world.

“Justice delayed is Justice denied” – The case of police brutality in Sathankulam, Tamilnadu.
The very phrase “Justice delayed is Justice denied ” is an antonym for the word “justice” because justice means the quality of being fair and reasonable which in the very least is considered in our country. Everyday we see innocent people being charged for something they did not do, women being victims of sexual assaults, people being murdered in the name of honour killing etc . But are the people who commit these crimes arrested?. Justice has become a joke material in our country. Justice is something people talk about in social media platforms, create memes and write articles about, but nothing can ever change the delay in justice because after months and years of yearning for justice the only thing innocent people receive is their justice being denied.
India is a country known for dragging innocent people all their lives for justice. The recent incident of the police assault done to Felix and Jeyaraj is the perfect example of a manifold denial of justice. Jeyaraj aged 58 and his son Fenix aged 31 who resided in Sathankulam, Tuticorin, were arrested on the night of June 19, 2020 for having their shop open beyond the curfew time of coronovirus induced lock down but a video evidence proved that they weren’t guilty of the charge. Yet the duo was arrested and tortured throughout the night only because the police had some personal vengeance against them. They were tortured in ways that was extremely inhuman and cannot be explained. The police used their power and authority to murder those men and shamelessly blame the men for their fate. Justice was murdered in the first place when the men were taken under custody for a crime they did not commit. Justice was crushed into pieces when these men became the victim of assault by the police. And justice was denied to them when they were deprived of their basic Human Rights. The men were not allowed to exercise their right to life and liberty and freedom from torture.
The incident became the recent best example of the phrase ” Justice delayed is Justice denied” because justice was not given even at the cost of two lives and the plight of their family members. The policemen who assaulted these men were only suspended and transferred not dismissed or put in jail for the crime they committed but the innocent lost their lives with peace being shattered for the rest in their family. Here is a serious delay in justice because the policemen have not received the punishment they deserve which by all means is a pure denial of justice in our country. This alone is not a pathetic situation of our country, there is more to it, an article stated that a senior police officer told the press that hardly any police officer had been put behind bars for any custodial deaths. This is just one case among the thousand other cases of police brutality which is often not addressed. Policemen are supposed to be the protectors of the people in a country. But rather they have instilled fear in the minds of people and have failed to be man’s best friend. Fenix and Jeyaraj are not the only ones who have been deprived of their justice but the entire nation because it is very evident that when justice is delayed eventually it leads to its denial creating a scenario where anybody who is in power and authority can get away with whatever crimes they commit.
Such incidents do not just reflect badly on the police force of our country but also on the justice system which is supposed to give people hope that their lives and words matter. Social media posts, memes, videos, petition letters, rally, strike or anything of that sort will not advance justice. The government must realise that every single life in the country has a right to justice and it must be bestowed upon them irrespective of their power, authority etc. Everybody must be equal in the eyes of justice because that is what the scales of justice stand for. There are good people and there are bad people but justice must always on the side of the good and it should be provided immediately otherwise it looses it’s meaning and purpose.
Materialism
‘The best things that happen to us are not always things.’ – A saying that has been going around a long time and its meaning is the true essence of our life. The happiness that we may receive after making others smile or spending time with our family cannot be compared buying a brand new phone or branded clothes. Materialism is the belief that having money and other possessions is the most important thing in life. This belief has acquired a strong place in the people, especially the youth. They are pumped up by the advertisements that portray the notion ‘you are what you possess’ , as a result the youth is fascinated from the money as well as luxuries that they may or may not be able to afford.
The youth tries to identify themselves as well as the people around them with the money and the things they have, which creates a rift between the rich and the poor. The present day trends, such as clubbing or having lavish birthday parties, having latest gadgets or buying the newest car in the market, have a tight grip on the youth; so much so that people sometimes stress over how to keep up with these trends. There are many out there who just feel the need to buy new clothes or expensive phone to fit in with their peer group. They don’t realize the pressure it can create on their parents who work hard day and night just to make the ends meet for their family.
People don’t feel the need to have a good personality or empathy for others which can help them to be a good individual as well as a good reputation for people to recognize them; instead they feel that the only way to have a good reputation is by owning material things. There is no particular harm in owning things, however it sometimes leads to buying things that we don’t even need in our lives. People now-a-days try and measure the level of happiness of a person with the amount of money or the luxuries that the person owns. Whenever they see that someone has a thing that seem to good enough, they have an urge to buy it, even though they might not need it.
Society has embedded the notion in our heads that a person who owns more is respected more; due to which people are chasing money and power. Priority is given to having and earning a good amount of money over having a good and humble personality. It is also the reason for the huge gap between the rich and the poor in terms of wealth as the economic system is provoking the people to spend more money and for that they need to work hard and earn more. Studies point out that if the parents tend to have a materialistic approach and tend to buy things after being influenced by the advertisements, then the children may also develop materialism in them.
The beliefs of the society are changing. Earlier it was said that people are supposed to love each other and the things are meant to be used as long as they serve, however now quite the opposite is happening in the society. Things are loved and people are used as long as they serve the purpose. There is no value for others in the society which is creating an impact on the relationships that people have with each other. People who are materialistic are never happy as contrary to the belief that they tend to be content. Therefore, one should never forget that in times of need, it is the people close to us that come to our rescue and not the things.
RACISM; a modern devil
Racism, also called racialism, the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioural features; and that some races are innately superior to others. The term is also applied to political, economic, or legal institutions and systems that engage in or perpetuate discrimination based on race or otherwise reinforce racial inequalities in wealth and income, education, health care, civil rights, and other areas. Such institutional, structural, or systemic racism became a particular focus of scholarly investigation in the 1980s with the emergence of critical race theory, an offshoot of the critical legal studies movement. Since the late 20th century the notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.
Racism takes many forms and can happen in many places. It includes prejudice, discrimination or hatred directed at someone because of their colour, ethnicity or national origin.
People often associate racism with acts of abuse or harassment. However, it doesn’t need to involve violent or intimidating behaviour. Take racial name-calling and jokes. Or consider situations when people may be excluded from groups or activities because of where they come from.
Racism can be revealed through people’s actions as well as their attitudes. It can also be reflected in systems and institutions. But sometimes it may not be revealed at all. Not all racism is obvious. For example, someone may look through a list of job applicants and decide not to interview people with certain surnames.
Racism is more than just words, beliefs and actions. It includes all the barriers that prevent people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race.
The police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd have galvanized anti-racism protests throughout the United States, Canada and elsewhere. As a result, lawmakers have made pledges to divest from
police and school districts have cut ties with law enforcement. The organizing of the Black
Lives Matter (BLM) movement and their provocative protest tactics have played a significant role in this shifting public discourse.
BLM has been resisting dominant narratives in new ways. The movement amplifies knowledge and counter-discourses that affirm the identities and needs of Black communities. The BLM movement can be seen as a “subaltern counterpublic,” defined by critical theorist Nancy Fraser as a space dedicated to centring marginalized voices.
The dominant public often expects marginalized groups to use persuasion to educate them about their grievances. However, some have argued that persuasion alone cannot facilitate substantive systemic change. Dominant society will generally tolerate only those transformations in public discourse that leave
distributions of power and privilege untouched. For instance, white Americans may support calls for incremental police reform, but once activists utter the phrase “abolish the police,” the discourse is deemed too radical.
Counterpublics, like BLM, have successfully cultivated their power and drawn attention to their messaging by forcing their narratives onto the public.
That painful past is still present today — not only in the form of violence, but in the everyday experience of deeply rooted discrimination. We see it in our criminal justice system, in the disproportionate toll of the disease on Black and Brown communities, in the inequalities in neighbourhood services and the educations our children receive.
While our laws have changed, the reality is that their protections are still not universally applied. We’ve seen progress since the America I grew up in, but it is similarly true that communities of colour continue to endure discrimination and trauma.
Dil Bechara – An Honest Review
The first time I read ‘The Fault In Our Stars,’ my heart skipped a beat with each page turn. This was before the book became popular. I always enjoyed books and music before it the bestselling charts.
Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters are one of a kind. They were burdened by cancer and their loved one’s hidden emotions. Until they found each other, they were alone amidst the crowd. They were each-others safe havens.
Hazel Grace’s grenade dialogue scene was heart-breaking and
When the Hollywood movie came out starring Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley, I was slightly disappointed. Like every other book made into a movie, it lost its touch.
I felt the same way when I watched Dil Bechara. The Bollywood make was a lot different from the book. They changed the book to a song, the author to a musician, Amsterdam to Paris. More than any of that this movie was so different than the book itself. Instead of creating a new identity for itself, it was just a loose compilation of scenes.
I understand that the movie was made for the Indian youth to relate to, but in the heavily social world, we are more modern than before.
Kizie was introduced attending strangers’ funerals to share her pain realizing that she too might die soon and her loved ones would go through the same. That unexplained scene gave the movie an edge. It was a beautiful scene. She, herself didn’t realize the reason she was drawn to funerals.
Manny’s funeral scene was heartbreaking and my friend described her want to crawl into the screen and give Kizie and Manny a tight hug each.
The songs weren’t that great, commercial success wise. But A. R. Rahman’s composition was peaceful and I loved them.
However, the new comer Sanjana Sanghi, playing Kizie did wonderful on her part. She was perfect when she needed to be stiff, stubborn, emotional and in love. She has an amazing career ahead of us and will be worthy of all the opportunities to hone her skills.
Sushant Singh Rajput, as Manny was as gracious as ever. He had his charming smile and adorable personality throughout.
I would have loved if both the great actors were playing their parts in a different plot. Stirring clear of John Greens book.
The movie had 95 million views in the first 24 hours. It was a tribute to Sushant Singh Rajput. Many shed tears, not with the characters but for the actor himself.
The slideshow tribute for Sushant in the end was comforting and warm. It was sweet and made a million people shed tears for him and his premature death. We loved Sushant and he will always have a special place in our hearts forever.
In the weeks after his death, many speculations were made, cases filed, trending hashtags. But it felt good to switch off from social media and watch his last movie. Hotstar and Disney+ did a great job letting viewers stream the movie for free.
You can watch the movie on Hotstar and Disney+.
You can stream all songs of the movie on YouTube and on any other music app.
