Despite a windy evening and light drizzle, the Jam

Despite a windy evening and light drizzle, the Jama Masjid in Delhi witnessed limited number of devotees who gathered to offer prayers during the first jumma of this year's Ramzan. As per the Islamic tradition, Fridays (Jumu'ah in Arabic) are the holiest days of the week. Special congregational prayers are conducted in mosques, and Muslims in large numbers gather here to collectively offer prayers. Devotees say that the Friday prayers are mandatory as they bestow blessings, and during Ramzan, the importance multiplies manifold. While the beautiful mosque appeared spell binding, decorated with lights, the raging pandemic only allowed limited gathering with all covid safety protocols like wearing masks, using sanitisers and appropriate social distancing. #ramadan2021 #ramadan #ramadankareem #ramadanmubarak #ramzanmubarak🌙 #ramzan #jamamasjid #roza #jummahmubarak #jummamubarak #mediaindiagroup #MediaIndiaGroup #MIG

My voice echoed across the deserted corridor. The only noise was of sweeping footsteps of the caretaker of this #Chettinad mansion in Karaikudi. Numerous #colourful pillars flank the enormous #courtyard as the scorching sun bakes the already scalding floor, devoid of cover. It almost felt like going back in time,” says Kalpana Chauhan, a #Delhi-based travel blogger who visited Chettinad, last #December, with the purpose of exploring its mansions. Two hours away from #Madurai, in the interiors of the southern Indian state of #TamilNadu, lies #Karaikudi, a small town part of the Chettinad region. The region comprises of two principal towns of Karaikudi and #Devakottai and 75 villages, home to the ‘Chettiars’, a mercantile community engaged in maritime trade with south and southeast #Asia for centuries.

“The USD 2.1 billion #film industry continues to associate #beauty with fair skin. The conception of beauty has remained consistent through the years in the #Bollywood film industry centred in #Mumbai,” reads a report by Indian-origin researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania, United States. The automated computer analysis led by Kunal Khadilkar and Ashiqur KhudaBukhsh of CMU’s Language Technologies Institute (LTI), gathered about 100 Bollywood movies from each of the past seven decades along with 100 of the top-grossing #Hollywood movies from the same periods. They then used statistical language models to analyse subtitles of those 1,400 films for #gender and social biases, looking for such factors as what words are closely associated with each other.

With #India’s daily case count rising to a new h

With #India’s daily case count rising to a new high every day for about a month, the country has once again displaced #Brazil from the slot of the country with the second-highest incidence of #Covid19 cases. On Tuesday, India registered over 185,000 cases, a jump of 1582 pc from just about 11,000 cases on #March 1 and 200 pc of the previous high of about 97,000 daily cases recorded on September 16, 2020. Having peaked in September, as the number of cases kept falling, complacency and carelessness crept into the government’s response to the pandemic. By the end of last year, #PrimeMinister #NarendraModi and his cabinet were thumping themselves on the back for having won the battle against the #pandemic and actually began taking credit for the ill-conceived, ridiculously planned, and terribly implemented #lockdown that broke the back of the Indian economy, causing a doubling of poverty rates in India, five-decade high unemployment rates and all-round misery.

Protesting #farmers at #Ghazipur border in Delhi,

Protesting #farmers at #Ghazipur border in Delhi, celebrated 130th birth anniversary of father of Indian constitution, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. On the occasion, #Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, president of Bhim Army along with #BKU leader #RakeshTikait, were present at the Ghazipur border to pay tribute to #Ambedkar as well as to interact and motivate the farmers to continue their agitation against 3 farm bills. Sonu Pradhan of #Bahujan Samajwadi Manch (Basant) who was present at the border says that the government has not allowed them to celebrate the occasion, citing the #Covid-19 cases, on Sansad Marg in #Delhi, as they did every year. He says that the celebration at Ghazipur border is a symbolic opposition of #Modi government’s passing of 3 farm laws as well as their disregard towards the Dalit community in the country. “We have come here to celebrate #Babasaheb’s birth anniversary with the farmers. It is also a symbolic agitation as the Modi government has ignored the demands of the farmers just the way they have ignored the plight of the #Dalits in the country,” Pradhan tells Media India Group. He goes on to say that though the earlier governments had also not treated the Dalits very well, the current #BJP government’s attitude has been worse towards them. #Farmersprotest #Bhimarmy #mig #BRAmbedkar #ambedkarite #mediaindiagroup #ambedkarjayanti

On April 1, 2021, the first day of the new fiscal

On April 1, 2021, the first day of the new fiscal year, the failure rate of Immediate Payment Services (IMPS) and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions shot up dramatically. While total number of transactions for the day were much lower than usual, the failure rate had shot up. A total of about 0.45 million transactions were made, which is less than 4.5 pc of an estimated 10-12 million transactions made each day, but the failure rate had shot up considerably higher than the typical 0.5 pc. The incident was just the latest large-scale glitch that have inflicted Indian digital payments ecosystem over the past year as the infrastructure has been overwhelmed by the sharp spike in demand visible since the outbreak of the pandemic last year. The Covid-19 pandemic propelled India to the top slot in the world in terms of digital payments with 25.5 billion real-time payments transactions. Unfortunately, for the users, the boom was accompanied by another trend of frequent outages and failed transactions as the physical infrastructure and technical systems of the Indian banking sector failed to keep pace with the rise in volumes.

am scared for my family’s health as I go back ho

am scared for my family’s health as I go back home every evening after #election duty here. People are not following the #safety protocols and many of them have been part of the election rallies that witnesses thousands of people coming together from all over the state without any kind of mask or #socialdistancing. Many people have also developed #Covid-19 symptoms and have tested positive. Despite that, even at polling booths, it has been a difficult task to maintain safety protocols,” says a 50-year-old school-teacher from #Kolkata, #WestBengal who was on #election duty during the fourth phase of polling in the state on April 10. The #teacher who wished to stay anonymous adds that she goes back home to her old #parents who do are sick and feels that she might carry the infection to them as she works meets and works with thousands of people every day at the #polling booth.

The year 2020 was the toughest on record for touri

The year 2020 was the toughest on record for tourism industry across the world. In India, the big and popular destinations got a big blow and were most talked about. However, many small destinations that completely depend on tourism had to take the maximum brunt. One such destination is Lakshadweep (meaning-a hundred thousand islands) and India’s smallest union territory. Popular for its long stretch of coastline that is also considered as India’s most promising water sports destination. Due to its difficult accessibility, the island was completely cut off from tourists from all over India. Even though tourism has resumed almost everywhere in India, in Lakshadweep, the situation has barely improved from last year. Media India Group spoke to Asar Pal Singh, resident commissioner, UT of Lakshadweep, about the current situation of Lakshadweep tourism and its mid-term plans.
