CORRUPTION IN INDIA

Image
 I remember standing outside the local municipal office last year, watching two men exchange a firm, cheerful handshake that had nothing to do with friendship. It was a silent transaction, sealed with a grin that made my stomach churn. In India today, bribery has been so deeply normalized that people exchange illegal payouts as casually as greeting cards. It feels like an open secret everyone participates in just to keep the wheels turning.  Growing up, I was taught that hard work and honesty were the ultimate currency. But as I grew older and tried to navigate basic paperwork getting a passport verified, clearing a property mutation, or securing a small business license reality hit hard. Every single window of bureaucracy seemed to have an invisible toll booth attached to it. If you refuse to pay, your file simply gathers dust at the bottom of an endless stack.  What hurts the most is how this affects someone personally. It chips away at your self-respect. You find yours...

Fake News vs Real News: In a World Full of Information, How Do We Find the Truth?

Image
 Every morning, before many of us even get out of bed, we have already seen several pieces of “news.”  A notification appears on our phone, a reel claims to reveal a breaking story, someone forwards a message on WhatsApp, and another post says, “Share this before it gets deleted.” But there is one important question we often forget to ask: Is it actually true?  The internet has made information faster and more accessible than ever before. At the same time, it has made it incredibly easy for false or misleading information to travel from one person to millions of people. This is where the difference between real news and fake news becomes important.  What Exactly Is Fake News?  Fake news is false, inaccurate, or misleading information presented in a way that makes people believe it is genuine news. Not every incorrect social media post is necessarily created with the intention to deceive. Sometimes people share old information as new, misunderstand a story, use a...

भारत में डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म का बढ़ता प्रभाव।

Image
  आज के डिजिटल युग में जर्नलिज्म अपनी भूमिका बखूबी निभा रहे हैं। डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म के आने से पहले किसी भी जानकारी या समाचार के लिए मुख्य स्त्रोत टीवी , रेडियो , समाचार पत्र , अखबार ही होते थे। लेकिन डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म ने इंटरनेट और स्मार्टफोन के माध्यम से लोगों तक आसानी से और कम समय में समाचार और जानकारियां पहुँचाई हैं। आज के डिजिटल युग में फेसबुक , ट्विटर , सोशल मीडिया आदि के माध्यम से समाचार और जानकारियां प्राप्त हो रही हैं। यात्रा के दौरान या घर पर ही घटनाक्रम को लाइव देखा जा सकता है और एक डिजिटल जर्नलिस्ट भी लाइव घटनाक्रम को रिकॉर्ड कर सकते हैं , रिपोर्टिंग कर सकते हैं , उसकी वीडियो बना सकते हैं। डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म के माध्यम से ही हम दुनिया के किसी भी कोने में समाचार देख सकते हैं , पढ़ सकते हैं। लेकिन डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म के सामने एक सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है फें क न्यूज़ , समाचार , जानकारियां जो यूट्यूब , ट्विटर , फेसबुक आदि पर फैल जाती हैं , के माध्यम से फैल जाती हैं। तो ज़रूरी है कि डिजिटल जर्नलिज्म और लोगों को किसी भी समाचार को देखने- पढ़ने से पहले तथ्यों की सही जानकारी व स्त्रोत का पता ल...

Red Bull vs FSSAI: Why Red Bull Won

Image
 FSSAI told all brands to drop the term "Energy Drink" from cans. Reason? As per Indian food laws, there is no such category. It's officially just a "Caffeinated Beverage," and the word "energy" misleads buyers. Red Bull challenged it in the Delhi High Court. They've used this label in India since 2002, and India is a $1.6 billion market for energy drinks. Justice Amit Mahajan set aside the FSSAI order. The court said the regulator didn't issue a show-cause notice or give a hearing before the ban. That violates natural justice. Result: Red Bull can keep its "Energy Drink" label for now. But FSSAI can come back with a proper notice and hearing. So it's a temporary win. The real fight over the label is still pending. ~by Taniya Samanta  BJMC, 1st Semester 

Women’s Safety in India

Image
  How much freedom is too much to ask? “Don’t go out alone. Come home before it gets dark. S hare your location. Be careful. ”  For many women in India, these are not occasional pieces of advice. They are rules they grow up hearing. But the question we need to ask is: Why is a woman constantly taught how to avoid danger, instead of society being taught not to create it?  The protests are about more than one incident Women’s safety has returned to the centre of public discussion in Delhi following the alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at Aastha Kunj Park in South Delhi. Students from several Delhi University colleges have held demonstrations demanding safer public spaces, better lighting, safer transport and greater accountability. The recent demonstrations have brought renewed attention to how women experience public spaces. The protests are therefore not only about one case. Students have described fears around commuting after dark, poorly lit routes, harassment ...

Indian Film Industry

Image
The Indian film industry began in 1896, when the first motion pictures were screened in India. Dadasaheb Phalke is known as the father of Indian cinema. He made Raja Harishchandra in 1913, considered India's first full-length feature film. The 1930s saw the beginning of talkies, with Alam Ara (1931) becoming India's first sound film. After independence in 1947, Indian cinema grew rapidly. The 1950s and 1960s are often considered a golden era, producing influential filmmakers and actors.  Hindi cinema, popularly known as Bollywood, became especially popular, while regional industries such as Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam and Marathi cinema also developed strongly. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Indian films became known for action, romance, family drama and music. The rise of television, multiplexes and digital technology later transformed filmmaking and distribution. Today, Indian cinema is one of the largest and most diverse film industries in the world.  Films are produced...
