Indian Men's Hockey Team under the captainship of Harmanpreet Singh won the Bronze medal in the Paris Olympic 2024. India had also won bronze in Tokyo olympics 2020. Before moving forward let's have a look on the medal details of Indian Men's Hockey Team in Olympics till date. India had to wait for 40 long years to win an olympic medal in Hockey after Moscow olympics 1980 when India had won Gold. This is really a proud moment for India as well as for the state of ODISHA . The Hockey Team's accomplishment is only possible because of the intervention of Odisha under the leadership of Shri NAVEEN PATTNAIK (Former Chief Minister) which began in the year 2018 when Odisha stepped in to become the official sponsor for Indian Hockey Teams. It was very crucial as Indian Hockey was going through a very hard time and there was financial crunch. Former Chief Minister of Odisha Shri Naveen Pattanaik Under the leadership of Shri Naveen Pattanaik, Odisha committed an investment of Rs...

Hey!! Let me just take a selfie to post on my facebook profile. Hey! can you take a picture of me with Taj Mahal on by background? I will be posting it on my instagram handle. Well, let me make a reel for instagram too, and blah blah blah... We were on a vacation and heard those words from people around us. Social media has been an integral part of our life. About 1/4 of Indian population uses different social media platform. Now a days people are so obsessed with getting likes and clicks that they create profiles of their newborn and post their whole journey. One of my friend says that she will handover the social media handle to her baby at when the child attains the appropriate age. It sounds so interesting that baby's life journey, the memories, will be captured in a single place but, there can be a different perspective to it. Social media has brought in many opportunities and has helped many to gain name and fame as well. Many individuals are showcasing their skills and innov...

  “THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. THEN THEY CAME for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics, And I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. THEN THEY CAME for me, And by that time no one was left to speak up.” -            Martin Niemoeller The above poem describes very well about the current situation of Indian republic and its government's action. Till now we all know that The BJP led Central Government has set to privatize lot of public infrastructure, industries and institutions. The government is doing this in the name of disinvestment and for accumulating funds for development. One by one government is in a race to make almost everything privatize. As per Times of India’s report over 300 PSUs may shrink to ba...

Photo:  Twitter: @jigneshmevani80      Thousands of protesters marched against the 13 point roster and to bring back old 200 point roster on 31st January 2019 in order to save reservation in employment in the field of higher education.      India is a diverse country and wide variety of people from different culture & society with different values live in. More than 50% (SC, ST, OBC communities) of India got centuries of darkness until India got freedom from British rule and our very own constitution of India was drafted in the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The Constitution of India promises social justice and so it has provisions in favour of those communities who have been historically discriminated, subjugated and exploited. And, now the current government is trying to manipulate the public and make everyone fool and restore the brahmincal monopoly over education and knowledge creation. The current status of reserved category rep...

Two women below 50 walked into the Sabarimala temple in Kerala before daybreak on Wednesday, becoming the first to do so since the Supreme Court ordered the end of a decades-old ban on women of menstrual age entering the shrine. The temple shut down for ritual “purification” briefly before reopening to devotees. -           NDTV 03-Jan-2019 Sabarimala Temple, Kerala This was not the first attempt by women of the restricted age group rather many women had tried and stopped by protesters after Supreme Court's  order but, Bindu (44) and Kanak Durga (42) made this time. Well, why is entry of women of age group 10 to 50 are not allowed to worship in the Sabarimala temple? It is because of the belief that, Lord Ayappa is unmarried and in life long celibacy. As the mythology says Mallikapurathilamma fell in love with him and wanted to marry him but, he denied saying he will marry her only when when there is no first time devotee...

Photo: Arvind Meghwanshi I t was 2 nd April 2018 and the day was on strike by the SC and ST communities against remark given by Honorable Supreme Court of India for bringing changes to the SC ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act 1989. The court brought in new guidelines for police officers on how to ensure that innocent persons are protected from false complaints. As per the guideline no arrests can be made under the act without prior permission. It also held that a court can grant a pre-bail arrest. Before this the Act prohibits court from granting anticipatory bail to the accused in the other hand police was bound to register FIR and arrest the accused. Now, if accused, the public servant can only be arrested after the approval of the appointing authority. In case of a non-public servant the approval of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) is necessary. The apex court also made it mandatory for the police to hold a preliminary inquiry, not exceeding a week. Ironically p...
