Cyberbullying :A Growing concern

Image
Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that takes place online or through digital communication devices like social media, email, or text messages. It is a serious problem that can have harmful and long-lasting effects on its victims. Cyberbullying can take many forms, including sending threatening or harassing messages, sharing embarrassing photos or videos, spreading rumors or lies, and impersonating someone online. The anonymity and reach of the internet can make it easier for bullies to target their victims and spread their hurtful messages. The effects of cyberbullying can be devastating. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and even suicide. The constant harassment and intimidation can make them feel isolated and helpless, and can have long-term psychological and emotional consequences. Parents, educators, and community members can take steps to prevent cyberbullying and support those who have been victimized. Some strategies include educating young people ab...

Flaws of indian education system

The Indian education system’s flaws and solutions Five major problems in Indian Schools and the education system with their solutions: As we all know, the (IES) Indian Education System has many things that are not ideal for a good education system such as corruption, bribery, and inequality between rich and poor. For example, there is a prestigious private school in which a poor parent wants to enroll his/her child by giving all of his/her life savings for the education of the child but the principal discriminates against the parent and asks more money for the admission of the child by doing this the principal is violating the right to education law of the constitution and snatching the talent of a brilliant child. Now you may be wondering that why don’t these poor parents enroll their children in government schools where they are not charged or charged less than private schools but the government schools are not real schools and you may think how do I know it because I have visited a ...

Child marriage

Child marriage Child marriage threatens the lives, well-being and futures of girls around the world. Child is a person who has not completed twenty-one years of age, if a male, and if a female, has not completed eighteen years of age.[1] Marriage is the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship (historically and in some jurisdictions specifically a union between a man and a woman).[2] Child Marriage is defined as a marriage of a girl or boy before the age of 18 and refers to both formal marriages and informal unions in which children under the age of 18 live with a partner as if married. Child marriage affects both girls and boys, but it affects girls disproportionately, especially in South Asia.[3] Validity of Child Marriage A marriage in which either the girl is below 18 years of age, or the boy is below 21 years of age is child marriage. The previous law titled Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 had provisions only for restraining th...

Caste system a curse or a boon

Image
  Hearing the Voices of the Oppressed Within Our Traditions By Dr. Anantanand Rambachan, Sadhana Advisory Board Member and Professor of Religion at St. Olaf College, MN It saddens and disturbs me deeply whenever I see some of the responses of Hindu organizations and individuals to Dalits who voice criticism of the tradition and its practitioners. One immediate response is to accuse Dalits of Hindu-hate and of failure to understand that caste oppression is not intrinsic to Hinduism. Those who come from places or power and privilege within a tradition find it difficult to understand the ways in which the same tradition is experienced by others as oppressive and as negating their dignity and self-worth. Having never experienced cruelty and injustice in the name of religion, they assume that the tradition that has been good to them has been good for all who live within it. How could we criticize Dalits for not knowing of the emancipating and redemptive teachings and practices within th...

Swach bharat

  Moving beyond just building toilets 04 Dec 2019 “Sanitation is a vast subject; it’s not just about toilets,” says the young and energetic Sarpanch of Janla panchayat in Jatani block of Khorda district in Odisha, who has many dreams for his community. An MBA degree holder, Pradosh Kumar Jena (32) left his well paid corporate job in Delhi to return to his village and contribute to its development. Fortunately, he was elected Sarpanch and that provided the opportunity for him to initiate development work.  He had always been troubled by the pathetic condition of the village roads, the poor sanitation conditions and the unhygienic practices followed by the people in his panchayat.  The Swachh Bharat Mission Gramin (SBM-G) campaign when it started seemed an answer to his prayers.  He cheerfully lent his support to the District Water and Sanitation Mission (DWSM) team and the Block Development Office (BDO). The young Sarpanch played a major role in ensuring 100% con...
