At the outset, I salute to our valiant and courageous soldiers who have sacrificed their lives against aggressive Chinese force. Our soldiers sacrificed in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh region to protect the country.  In spite of worst climatic condition, they were guarding our border to protect Indians. It has to be admitted that no one is more selfless and brave than a soldier.       

       India, from ancient period, have good relation with China as many travellers visited India and appreciated Indians,  our culture, hospitality, food, etc.  One famous traveller was Fa-hien a Chinese Buddhist monk visited on foot from China to India. He visited many sacred Buddhist sites to acquire Buddhist texts and had jotted down his impressions about India. Another Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang visited India during the period of emperor Harsha also known as Harshavardhana. When he went back to China, he wrote impressively about India in his book ‘Si-yu-ki’ means ‘Record of the Western Countries’.  Third Chinese traveller is I-tsing, a Seventh century Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, was highly impressed after visiting India. Three  names have been mentioned here.    

    Thus from ancient period onwards we have good relation with China but problem started after the Chinese Communist Revolution. It is observed that they have developed ‘expansionist attitude’. It may be mentioned that during the early 1950s – the period marked by an increasing Chinese military superiority over India – both countries were friendly and cordial to each other and the Chinese did not want to disturb this because ‘they found in Nehru an important champion of their case in international forums and thus a great help in their control of Tibet’.  “In the year 1955 the euphoria of “Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai” continued unabated. After his return from China in November, 1954, Nehru started making preparations for the forthcoming Bandung Conference to be held in Bandung, Indonesia. This first large-scale Afro-Asian Conference was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent. It was sponsored by India Indonesia, Burma, Pakistan and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and took place during the week of April 18-24, 1955. Having just returned from his China visit, Nehru’s enthusiasm for China was again exhibited at this Conference when he became the main sponsorer of Chou En-Lai to this conference in spite of reservations from some countries” (new.resurgentindia.org/the-history-of-sino-indian-relations-and-the-border-dispute-between-the-two-countrie).  Further, it is pertinent to mention that “India actually helped China consolidate its control over Tibet. In October 1950 India refused to sponsor a Tibetan appeal to the United Nations. When El Salvador sponsored such an appeal, India played a key role in squashing it” (www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~johnston/garver.pdf).

So the present   leaders of China should not forget India’s massive friendly and generous contribution towards China. Unfortunately, in present days we have been observing different China, now international community blaming China because of COVID-19, economy of China is in recession stage, unemployment has been scaling up etc. To justify the same, few lines from the newspaper, South China Morning Post (SCMP, 20/2/2020) are presented here,  “Coronavirus costs keep mounting for manufacturers, who are facing huge losses in sales and struggling to ramp up production. If such losses take place then there will be negative effect in the economy and poor Multiplier Effect meaning more unemployment, less purchasing power of the people, and finally a sort of “Vicious Circle of Poverty” qualitatively may operate”.  With all these issues faced by the leaders of China may be they have adopted tactics of conflict with India. China’s aggression vis-à-vis conflicting attitude is observed not only with India but Hong Kong protest, South China Sea conflicts are few among many where China is involved.  Hope good sense will prevail among the Communist leaders of China and they will discard transgression attitude.

Although an acute awareness has started emerging after years and decades of negligence in discussing mental health and mental illness as one of the prime subjects in today’sworld, mental illness in children still seems to belong to a narrow lane behind a shadow which most people are completely unaware of.

Over 40% children from this generation face developmental disorders including anxiety disorder, depression along with other mood disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders so on and so forth. Since it is very normal for children to have a fickle mindset due to which the common symptoms of these disorders are generally ignored by their teachers, parents and other elders.
The best possible way to detect whether a child is suffering from any of these disorders or not is to get them to talk. A psychotherapist who has sufficient knowledge in child psychology may be appointed to get in touch with the child and proceed with the process which may or may not include medication.

However, ignoring these symptoms in children may lead to life fracturing impacts in their characteristics which will eventually refrain them from having a normal and sound personal and professional life. Therefore, mental health in children should be discussed as a prime subject and should never be neglected or ignored by the elders for the children to have a successful professional and personal life in their future.
There have been many instances where mild to severe symptoms have been neglected which has caused alcoholism and depression in future. A recent study shows depression takes place at a rate about 4-5% in children and upto 20% during adolescence and most of them need to be clinically diagnosed with proper medication, otherwise, it leaves life and scars in an emotional and psychological sphere.

Autism spectrum disorder is another illness that can cause lifelong impact on children if not diagnosed in a proper way since the beginning. Kids with autism require special care and treatment in order to lead a normal life further.

Various studies show 1 out of 10 children from our generation tends to suffer from mental disorder that in most cases goes unnoticed. These children tend to be nervous most of the time due to their lack of ‘normalcy’ that they are very much aware of. Bullying in high school and its contemporary institutions makes it worse for many. They suffer in silence which affects their mental health in a huge way.
Ignorance towards these things can lead to long term as well as short term consequences which include but are not limited to changes in sleeping and eating habits, abuse of drug and alchohol, gaining/losing weight, hypertension and depression.
Although many people tend to consider medication to be the only treatment available today but in many cases mere psychotherapy sessions work magically. A few excercises are supposedly recommended to those suffering that works really well and medicines are recommended only in crucial conditions.

Henceforth, even mild symptoms should never be ignored by the elders for it may leave life long physical and mental scars that would make their lives highly threatening.

It is often said that while success has several suitors, failure has none.

Nepotism might be an alien term for many but for some this is a cause of depression or on a higher scale cause of death. Favouritism or special attention granted to close friends and relatives by the people in power is called nepotism and we all face this in one way or the other. No matter which field you are working in, nepotism is everywhere. It is like a disease that has already made the world hollow and is still mushrooming. It is all about power, the damn chair! We all are part of it, sometimes as a victim and the other times as the sinner. The tragedy is we all believe that we are victims and we do nothing bad. The truth is, we all are trapped in this materialism knowingly or unknowingly and it doesn’t matter because we are too weak to come out.  What do you think was the reason Voldemort chose the dark art and attacked Hogwarts or Kaleen Bhai wanted his two men to be killed by his son in Mirzapur, all of these to not let the other one powerful than you because we can’t stand someone being more powerful than us. Be it reel or real nepotism is everywhere. We want the other person to respect us. Nobody wants to give up their power and let the other rule, even if the other person is better than them.

All of this has become the part of a dynasty. The biggest example of this is the glamorous industry BOLLYWOOD, hollow and shabby from inside. Many normal people with big dreams go to Mumbai to fulfil their wishes. But the most appealing has its own secrets, its flaws. As soon as an outsider start making progress, making fame after working hard. These big names ban them, ignore them, boycott them and what not. Everybody has its own way to handle it but not everyone can handle it properly.

A child may be a victim of depression too. But hardly have we cared. As for us nothing like this exists. Talking about mental health is a taboo because we don’t know how this society will treat us. That’s why to most of us it doesn’t even exist. All we get from such people is a one liner- EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY, DO NOT OVERTHINK.

This is the most irritating line when you are in pain and going through a lot. Nobody needs advice at that time. That entire person with depression need is to be heard, your support without you being judgemental. But the cruelty of society doesn’t let it help people without judging them. Life is all about helping each other in the time of need. It doesn’t matter much If you cannot be with someone in their happy times, at least try to be with them in their time of need, and stop using others for your selfish interests.

In the end you will definitely get what you have planted. Plant your destiny well. Spread love. Karma spares no-one.

We all just need to be patient time heal wounds. Your life matters the most. Nobody will get affected more than your parents and your loved ones. Think about them before taking detrimental steps.

Students of a country are the most powerful and important resource for better development. Students create the future of a country. As important students are, they sometimes end up being exploited and denied of their rights.

It is very important for every student, specially college students to know their legal rights. Although, in India, there is no special right and provision is solely dedicated to students, but here are four very important laws in the Indian constitution that every student must know of the Indian Penal code.

Right to Information (Article 19 (1) (a)):

Right to Information (RTI) is an act of the Indian Parliament that makes the right to information a fundamental right for the citizens of India. This Right to Information was passed by Parliament on June 15, 2005, and came fully into force on October 12, 2005.

Under the RTI Act, any citizen of India can request information from any public authority and the authority will have to revert back at the earliest or within thirty days.

If the matter involving a petitioner’s life and liberty, the information has to be provided within 48 hours.

Right to Equality (Article 14):

Right to Equality (Article 14) of the Indian constitution give equality before the law within the territory of India. This law is applicable to anybody and everybody who is inside the territory of India including an Indian citizen, corporations, and foreigners.

Article 14 permits classification, so long as it is ‘reasonable’, but forbids class legislation. Classification of groups of people is considered reasonable when:

• The classification is based upon intelligible differentia that distinguishes persons or things that are grouped from others that are left out of the group,
• The differential has a rational relation with the objective of the act

Right to Education (Article 21A):

Right to Education Act (RTE), is an Act of the India Parliament which was made on August 4, 2009. This law describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21 (a) of the Indian Constitution.

RTE makes accessibility of education a fundamental right of every child between the ages of 6 and 14 and specifies minimum norms in elementary schools.

This law states that all private schools have to reserve 25 percent of seats to children (to be reimbursed by the state as part of the public-private partnership plan).

It also prohibits all unrecognised schools from practice and makes provisions for no donation or capitation fees and no interview of the child or parent for admission.

The Act also provides that no child will be held back, expelled, or required to pass a board examination until the completion of elementary education.

There is also a provision for special training of school drop-outs to bring them up to par with students of the same age.

Right to Life (under Article 21):

The Right to life (Article 21) says that nobody, including the Government, has to authority to end your life. Under this law, it is mandatory for the Government to take appropriate measures to safeguard life by making laws to protect you.

Right to Life also makes it necessary for the govt to take appropriate steps to protect you if your life is at risk.

Public authorities should also consider your right to life when making decisions that might put you in danger or that affect your life expectancy.

If a member of your family dies in circumstances that involve the state, you may have the right to an investigation.

On 14th June, the charming actor committed suicide in his own flat. At first report, there was not a single suicide not was there. Then after his nearby closest friend shekhar which is a well known in bollywood comes and saying there is a hypocrite panel behind this suicide.

As from the coming report from media, it is impossy the depression of sushant was dur to well established production houses like Yash Raj Films, Balaji Filmes, Salman khan films etc. These production houses ban this outsider actor from bollywood. A 1year ago there was a clash between sushant and suraj Pancholi at a part night of bollywood. There Salman Khan sort out the fight. And at last he settle down the heat. But after that He silently makes the things tough for Sushant.

After that incident Sushant signed 7 films, but unfortunately not even a single film comes on box office. From the sources, there was also a humour that every well known production house banned this talented star. But after that too, Sushant makes it into the very remembered film “CHICHORE”. He showed his master class performance in this one. And it was his last and the biggest hit in BOLLYWOOD.

Now many actors and producers are giving tribute to him. But now audience are aware and just trolling down this people. Many people are requesting Police to take the look up at social media too into this investigation. Police also claimed they will going to look up at all the points.

At last everyone just want Justice for Sushant Singh Rajput. Let the nepotism must be banished through all. Because it is really taking alot from us. It is not only in Bollywood, also in every field. This thing must be stopped. And people have to understand if they don’t give hope to a person who is in grief, then they should not also celebrate on their failure. And try to aware your surroundings, and whenever finds a man with depression, please let know about him.

Renaissance is one of the most important periods when it comes to the chronological graph of English literature. Various theorists and historians have developed their own theories in terms of renaissance ideologies, style, fashion so on and so forth. This article aims at representing the shift and transformation that was brought about by the movement during the Renaissance period with the reference with reference to Stephen Greenblatt’s work. Greenblatt gives a vivid idea of the transformation that took place in the 16th century which brought about a fashion sense which made them realize that they could be transformed and fashioned in a way that would make a change.

The central thematic idea of this transformation is not the autonomy, but the perception. This change is quite difficult to express in a vivid manner because it is not only complex but the mode is dialectical. However, the simplest observation that one can make here is that the 16th century brought about a collective sense of self-consciousness among the people. Such self-consciousness had been once wide spread among the classical people but Christianity made a shift happen in the perspective which simply brought a growing suspicion of man’s power to govern.

Renaissance brought about a collective consciousness in terms of all kinds all social, political, psychological and economic domains which has completely changed the world since then.

Spenser in The Faerie Queene puts forward a sense of self-consciousness towards fashion which had never been seen in Chaucer’s poetry. Knight Calidore can be considered a representative who brought forward this consciousness in literature and the society at a larger scale.
Greenblatt also explains the kind of this sense of “fashion” and he mentions how even the figure of Lord Christ in the New Testament has been shown as a figure with a sense of fashion within himself. Apart from that, this fashion gives rise to considerable anxiety, self-doubt and acquires a new range of meaning.

The role of literature in bringing forward this transformation in the society has also been highlighted by Greenblatt. According to him literature functions as a driving mechanism that helps to bring about this sense of self-doubt and pushes further to re-imagine their sense of existence.
A common factor in all the significant figures of the sixteenth century is their depiction of mobility from different perspectives that ends up showing the similar sense of transformation.

There is no such thing as a “single history of the self” of the sixteenth century. In order to express the sense of self-fashioning of the period, Greenblatt gives a few more points in a detailed manner. Self-fashioning according to him involves submission to an absolute power, supposedly an external one (God or some sacred book or something like that).
Self-fashioning is achieved from something which apparently seems to be something alien/strange/hostile. When one authority or alien is destroyed, another one immediately takes place. Therefore self-fashioning can be presumed to be something which is achieved at the point of encounter between an authority and an alien.

Importance of cyber security awareness in the third world countries
With the emergence of technology as one of the major driving tools in the field of organizational developments, a plethora of technical advancements have taken place across the world. Each development in any field comes with certain flaws in terms of its security policies or error in economic methodologies which need to be addressed and rectified with effective methods in order for the system to develop further.

Importance of cyber security

Cyber security has emerged to be an effective tool in protecting the privacy of the enormous amount of data stored on computers and other devices by the government, industrial organizations, financial, corporate and medical organizations. Computer security hence has become a major methodology in the field of cyber security. Sensitive/personal or confidential data needs to be secured for it may have negative consequences once leaked. Unauthorized and unethical access to these information may lead to several harmful repercussions due to which cyber security awareness is
important for every individual irrespective of profession, gender or societal position in today’s world.

However, a very common misconception happens to exist due to which many people consider cyber security to be something that only elite and rich industrial personalities need to deal with. Specifically in the third world countries like India, Bangladesh people barely talked about this for years. Therefore, the need for every individual residing in a society to have a basic knowledge about cyber security came into existence after years of research and experimentation in this field by hundreds of experts.

Ethical hacking and its importance

Although the word hacking constantly pops up with an image of some unethical and illegal activities in minds, there is a whole legal methodology which enables and increases data security and privacy. Companies and organizations literally hire ethical hackers in order to ensure their personal data privacy.

It took a huge amount of cybercrimes to create a sense of awareness about the importance of ethical hacking in people. Chiefly the third world countries always lacked awareness of the importance of such things but on an optimistic note, there are enormous amount of websites and organizations that exist to make people aware about these things in a simple yet convincingly logical way.

Bug Bounty awareness

With the growing rate of cybercriminals, a fearful need to protect important data is becoming more and more essential for the organizations to grow in a harmless way. With the bug bounty program, ethical hackers tend to help with finding the vulnerabilities in the system before the unauthorized access is made by cybercriminals.

A bug bounty program consists of several (somewhat risky) steps to ensure the dismissal of the probable illegal and unauthorized access to the private data of an organization.

Jobs and opportunities in India

After U.S and China, the highest numbers of internet users are from India with over 370 million mobile subscriptions with internet connection.

The growing rate of dependency upon technology has made it essential to ensure data privacy. This has led to a demand for cyber experts in India which has created a new domain of experimentation and research among the youth of the country. It has become a significant and important part of the education system in India. The rate in which pursuing a career in cyber security in India has increased makes the growing necessity of cyber experts clearly evident. Another reason why India is one of the major countries in need of cyber experts is its population. A huge number of people have access to internet which leads to the increasing cybercrime rate, eventually causing a dire need of cyber experts who can help to create an improved and better scenario for people to survive.
