16k+ plus words of pure, unadulterated Vulcan smut so far in this wip and still no actual sex...I guess that's the way it be when you choose that logical life, eh?

Anyway here's an excerpt from Part 2 of 'A Bad Vulcan Prophet.' TW's for intense mindbreak themes via melds, crying, masturbating, and...I can't believe this is where I've come to but yes, pre-pon farr Vulcan nesting. Rated E for explicit, babes.

Hoping to post on A03 friday as per usual!

'ABVP' Part 2 excerpt

Sarek drops your head onto the bed, breaking the meld with a soft thud. Utterly unable to move it from where it falls you collapse in an overloaded heap under him. He rolls his neck in a slow, satisfied circle, breathing in long and deep as if to savor the rush. If you could hear you might have noticed the soft purr rumble his throat before he opens his eyes to take you in.

He stares at you for a moment as if he wants to speak, ultimately deciding against it. You see through him, not really looking at him. The numb glaze of your slack expression starts to warm under the tears trickling down your cheeks, but you are absent from their meaning.

He tucks a heavy blanket over you. They're stacked in a neat collection of piles along the foot of the bedroll and he unfolds a few to barricade up gently around your space. It's warm and comfortable against your skin, totally juxtaposed to how raw your brain and heart feel. Sarek ignores your crying. He pulls another blanket over you, adjusting your head on the pillowed bunch of a corner. You ignore him back, unwilling to move. Curving his tall body along the inside of the blanket barricade, he nestles himself against your covered form to trap you under the press of his arm and leg while he breathes steadily.

A long time seems to pass. You're sweaty under the crushing warmth of blankets and his body. Eventually your head starts to tingle through the tears, almost staticky like when you stood upright after holding your ankles for too long. Sleep. You just want sleep and silence.

Sarek gets up from the bed when your tears finally stop. He adjusts the blankets around you, bringing more thick folded ones up nearer your head like potential pillows.

"Do not move from that place." He orders. You don't respond. He knows you won't get up. "We shall continue when I return. Use this time to rest."

You squeeze your eyes shut under the edge of your blanket pile, no thoughts behind their burning swell. You feel him watching you. After a few still minutes you hear him leave the tent. Your head starts to pound, and tears come anew.

Tucking your head back under the covers, you pass out crying into a pile of folded blankets.

When you wake up, your headache is gone and your abdomen is on fire. You feel nothing over the rest of your body, only the heat flaring down through your stomach. You plunge your hands between your thighs, moaning at the instant release pressing against your fingers. The backs of your legs are wet, your slick having dripped down the curve of your butt while you slept.

Rocking gently over your hands, you part the wet lips of your vulva to rock on either side of your clit. You whine quietly in disbelief. It's shameful how wet you are but you can't stop rocking your hips. Your core roils in agony whenever you stop so you keep going, sweaty and panting curled up under the covers.

"I am gratified you find my nest satisfactory."

You jerk your head up from the blankets, snapping your eyes open to see him standing over you by the side of the...nest.

You look up over the sea of blankets he's dwarfed you in, and there it is plain as day. The food covering his desk and counter. The beard. Extra wood, and increasing the temperature in the tent. And all the blankets laying about. And the bathtub sitting in the middle of the tent, still full of the morning's water. You look down to your own bed which is no longer really a bed. He's been nesting all around you this whole time, you realize, and like a horny fool you had barely noticed.

"No." You say dumbly.

"Continue." He demands. He leans over to peel the thick layer of blankets down to your feet. Your fingers are still, buried between your wet thighs. Your sweat-dampened skin blooms in goosebumps from the sudden rush of air. "Masturbate in it. I know precisely which lesson you will learn afterwards." His tone freezes the bumps to your toes.

Why India’s ‘Godi Media’ Spreads Hatred and Fake News

How the leading players in the Indian media, loyal to the governing BJP-RSS combine, have been openly peddling fake news, hate and bigotry targeting religious minorities, especially India’s marginalised and dispossessed Muslims and why they have been getting away with murder all these years

— April 24, 2020 | S K Husain | Clarion India

GODI (Lapdog), Bikau (Venal), Dalal (Agent) and Bharkau (Inflammatory). These are some of the labels with which a major section of India’s mainstream electronic media is identified by a majority of Indians, especially Muslims and low-caste Hindus, as well as the remaining section of the national media.

This chunk of the media, which consists of nearly a dozen 24-hour national and regional TV news channels, is infamous for biased reporting and fanning communal hatred in society. Their journalists and anchors routinely engage in spreading fake news and causing hatred towards the country’s 200 million Muslim community and Islam. They, in fact, nourish Islamophobia. As someone rightly remarked, “the Indian media is not doing journalism but waging a jihad (holy war) against Muslims. It acts like hyenas”.

On one hand, these channels demonstrate a clear bias against the country’s low-caste Hindus, the poor, and less privileged and weaker sections of society. On the other, they promote the agenda of the Hindutva forces including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), its ruling political wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners in the government, as well as their leaders. They also favour the rich and powerful and promote their interests.

Prominent among these Pro-BJP/RSS news outlets are English television channels Republic TV, Times Now, India Today and CNN-News18, and Hindi TV channels Zee News, ABP News, Aaj Tak, India TV, Sudershan News, News Nation and News24 (India). All the above-mentioned titles fit these channels for one reason or the other.

The term “Godi media” was coined for these channels by Ramon Magsaysay award winner journalist Ravish Kumar of NDTV. He inherently spoke of the lap of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and its lapdogs.

Besides these channels, there are many more news and at least 18 Hindu religious channels in regional languages across India that promote the agenda of the Hindutva forces to establish a Hindu Rashtra (nation) and impose Hindi as the national language all over the plural, multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-lingual country of 1.37 billion people.

Among the key reasons why these channels and their anchors so aggressively support the BJP, RSS and Modi, as well as the rich and powerful, are:

1) Absolute majority of the BJP-led NDA in Parliament and its government at the centre and in many states, and growing irrelevance and inconsequentiality of a largely obliterated opposition;

2) Hindu viewership by the BJP’s 100-million-plus primary members and their massive support for the party and government, and the cult-like following of a “monolithic” Modi;

3) A high TRP achieved because of the majority Hindu viewership. (TRP, or target rating point, is a metric used in marketing and advertising to indicate the percentage of the target audience reached by a campaign or advertisement through a communication medium);

4) Funding by big business houses, which might be chummy with a particular party which supports their growth and in return they support that party;

5) Ownership or stakes of certain BJP and RSS leaders, MPs and supporters in some of these TV channels;

6) Owners’ political connections or affiliations with the BJP and RSS;

7) A huge revenue earned from government advertisements which these channels receive in return for their pro-BJP/RSS/government policies;

8) Commercial interests of these channels as business entities rather than as social service non-governmental organisations;

9) Government advisories/directives and restrictions on news presentation;

10) Fear of being targeted by the government for failure to toe the line.

Let’s take a close look at what these Hindutva TV channels are, who owns or runs them and what are their policies.

HIS MASTER’S VOICE…Republic TV’s Arnab Goswami interviews Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Credit: narendramodi.in

English Networks

Republic TV — This news channel was co-founded and is majority-owned by a 47-year-old Assamese, Arnab Ranjan Goswami. He is also the channel’s editor and news anchor. Earlier, he was the editor-in-chief and a news anchor of Times Now and ET Now.

The channel is infamous for its brazen support for the BJP and RSS. Arnab is noted for his opinionated reporting in favour of the BJP and RSS and their Hindutva push across a wide spectrum of situations, including uncritically reproducing government narratives, avoiding criticism of BJP/RSS figures, and presenting their political opponents in a negative light. He very clearly, cleverly and shamelessly shows his bias. No one can beat him in spreading hatred and fake news.

Arnab is the son of Manoranjan Goswami, an army man who later joined the BJP, and a maternal nephew of Siddhartha Bhattacharya, who is a BJP MLA and minister in Assam’s state government.

Launched in 2017, Republic TV was partly funded by, among others, Asianet News (ARG Outlier Asianet News Private Limited), which was primarily funded by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, then an independent member of Rajya Sabha with intricate links with the BJP and vice-chairman of the NDA in Kerala.

Son of an air force officer, Chandrasekhar, however, resigned from the Asianet board after he officially joined the BJP in April 2018 and was elected as a BJP MP.

Republic TV has been accused of propagating fake news and running several news items based on the defamatory tweets posted by certain BJP leaders. It has also been convicted of breaching telecommunication regulatory and news broadcasting rules, leading to censures and subject to a high-profile defamation case by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.

The channel is described by experts as a “noisy, chaotic place where coherent debate without shouting, screaming and name-calling is impossible”. Its shows have been dubbed a “battle of babble”, judgmental, brash and hawkish.

It has even been compared to North Korean media for its extreme pro-government affinity and muzzling of dissent, and America’s Fox News which practises biased reporting in favour of the Republican Party.

Prominent among these pro-BJP/RSS news outlets are English television channels Republic TV, Times Now, India Today and CNN-News18, and Hindi TV channels Zee News, ABP News, Aaj Tak, India TV, Sudershan News, News Nation and News24 (India). The term “godi media” was coined for these channels by journalist Ravish Kumar of NDTV. He inherently spoke of the lap of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and its lapdogs

Times Now – Owned and operated by The Times Group (Bennett, Coleman and Company Limited), this channel always wants to go with the winning horse. Previously generally neutral, it has turned pro-BJP since the election of the Modi government. Anchor and managing editor Navika Kumar froths and fumes each time someone is critical of the BJP, but loses her interrogating prowess whenever given the rare chance to interview Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah.

With Arnab, the channel was ultra-BJP and ultra-nationalist; after he left it, it has become a lot more ultra-nationalist and outright BJP supporter. One wonders if this change of stance is because its chairperson, Indu Jain, was awarded Padma Bhushan by the Modi government in 2016.

India Today — Owned by Living India Media Group (India Today Group), the channel was launched in 2003 as a sister channel of the Hindi news channel AajTak. It is one of the four news channels from the TV Today Network stable, the other two being Tez and Delhi AajTak. Aroon Purie is the group’s chairman.

Top journalists associated with India Today TV channel are Rajdeep Sardesai and Rahul Kanwal. While Rajdeep is anti-BJP, Rahul has tried to lean a lot to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Although India Today is a “fence-sitting” channel, in the last one or two years it has clearly tilted towards the BJP.

Rahul and his India Today team had severely lobbied against the BJP and its students wing Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP ) over the Shaheen Bagh and Jamia Millia Islamia shooting incidents. He was also quick to point fingers at BJP leader Anurag Thakur and claim that Delhi was sitting on a powder keg.

CNN News 18 is owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries, considered close to PM Modi. The channel was originally owned by Network18 Group, which was taken over by Reliance Industries in 2014. The group owns as many as 65 channels

In an apparent punishment for his “biased” reporting in favour of AAP, Rahul was sent on a “sabbatical”. Since his return, he seems to have dropped his determination to follow in the footsteps of Rajdeep and joined the bandwagon of the godi media anchors.

CNN-News18 — This channel is owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries, hence no words are required to explain its bias against Muslims and the less privileged Hindus. This channel was originally owned by Network18 Group, which was founded by businessman and investor Raghav Bahl in 2011 but was taken over by Reliance Industries in 2014.

The group owns as many as 65 channels: one national English news channel, one national Hindi news channel and 14 regional language news channels; three national and one regional business news channels, three Hindi entertainment channels, two Hindi movie channels, two youth channels, four English and Hindi music channels, four kids English and Hindi entertainment channels, four factual entertainment channels, two shopping channels, 14 regional entertainment channels, and 10 upcoming regional news and other channels.

Hindi Channels

Among the most biased and anti-Muslim and po-BJP/RSS Hindi TV news channels and their anchors are:

Zee News — This is one of the several Hindi, English and vernacular news channels owned by the Essel Group. The channel’s owner, Subhash Chandra, became a Rajya Sabha member with the BJP’s support. Hence, he definitely needs to give something back to the party by promoting its Hindutva agenda and launching an anti-Muslim tirade.

Sudhir Chaudhary is the channel’s editor-in-chief and the anchor of its prime time. He is the Hindi version of Republic TV’s Arnab as he openly supports the BJP, RSS and Modi. A few years ago, Sudhir was arrested for allegedly trying to extort one billion Indian rupees (approximately US$23 million) from the Jindal Group. Since then, some people call him Sudhir “Tihari” because he was lodged in Delhi’s maximum-security Tihar Jail in the extortion case.

Zee News has been involved in broadcasting fabricated news stories on multiple occasions. Most recently, it aired an unverified and false report on the coronavirus and linked it to Tablighi Jamaat, and later expressed regrets for running the false report.

India TV – This channel was launched by Rajat Sharma and his wife Ritu Dhawan in 2004 from a studio in FilmCity in Noida, near Delhi. Sharma is the chairman and editor-in-chief of India TV, a subsidiary of Independent News Service which was co-founded by the couple in 1997. During his college days, Sharma was a member of ABVP. He and the late finance minister Arun Jaitley were very close friends.

India TV is biased, too. It conceals plenty of news that would make headlines. It doesn’t show fake news but is selective in its presentation of news according to its political impact. When Sharma was asked a question about his channel’s integrity in the United States in view of his friendship with Jaitley, he got infuriated. An otherwise calm person, he was all irritated and critical of the person who asked it.

According to tech analyst Amol Raj Pandey, when Sharma “was ousted from his FilmCity office by Century Comm, his new office was completely funded by the BJP. India TV kept on working as BJP propaganda unit after that.” He further says the most important point to show this is — he was awarded Padma Bhushan for literature, although he never wrote a single literary piece. However, he wrote fiction for the BJP during its election campaign.

In 2015, Sharma was awarded Padma Bhushan by the BJP government for his contribution in the field of journalism. Last month, he was conferred with an honorary doctorate in of literature by the Nainital-based Kumaun University. All this explains his unstinted support for the BJP and RSS.

AajTak — Owned by Arun Purie’s India Today Group, AajTak has some of the most poisonous anchors — Anjana Om Kashyap, Rohit Sardana and Sweta Singh — known for their vitriolic attacks against Muslims and spreading communal hatred. The trio routinely indulge in Muslim-bashing, while showcasing a deferential surrender to anything the BJP does.

A former Zee News and News24 journalist, Anjana has been engaged in aggressively propagating Hindutva-centred ideologies and biased reporting in favour of the BJP across a variety of situations. She has spread fake news via her news shows on multiple occasions. A favourite of Modi, she was one of the few reporters who were allowed an interview by Modi in the run-up to the 2019 general election. Rohit Sardana tops the list of the worst journalists sponsored by the right wing.

ABP News — Owned by Bengali journalist Aveek Sarkar of the pro-BJP ABP Group, this channel is the reincarnation of Star News. Earlier, ABP News used to be neutral, but it turned pro-BJP a couple of years ago. This came after the Modi government objected to criticism of the BJP by some ABP News journalists including Punya Prasoon Vajpyee and Abhisar Sharma in their Master Stroke show. After the channel took action against these journalists, Rubika Liyaquat became the commander-in-chief of its news anchors. A former Zee New anchor, Rubika joined ABP News in 2018. A Muslim, she is disliked by many for her angry rhetoric against Muslim leaders called by the channel for debates on TV.

Sudarshan News — This channel disseminates anti-Muslim content and manufactures fake news with communal overtones, earning it tiltles such as “bigot” and “dangerous”.

Its chairman, Suresh Chavhanke, was a long-term RSS volunteer and associated with ABVP. He asserts practicing ideology-driven journalism and prefers that the news programmes over his channel be viewed as opinionated campaigns.

In April 2017, he was arrested for inciting communal hatred through multiple episodes of a flagship programme. Recently, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren ordered state police to take action against Chavhanke for his communal hate speeches.

News Nation — Owned by News Nation Network Pvt Ltd, this channel’s consulting editor Deepak Chaurasia has an inclination towards the BJP and is known as a puppet of Modi. Portuguese politician and political scientist Bruno Macaes compared Chaurasia’s journalism to Fox News, which has often been criticised for being extremely vocal in its support of the Republicans and President Donald Trump.

India 24 (India) — Owned by B.A.G. Films and Media Limited, this channel is promoted by Anuradha Prasad, sister of BJP minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, along with her husband, Congress politician Rajeev Shukla. Its anchor Amish Devgan has modelled himself on Republic TV’s Arnab and routinely indulges in Muslim-bashing.

All the above channels are Pro-BJP because they need government advertisments for revenue to operate. And most of their anchors and journalists are enamoured by Modi’s “superman image ” created by his online fans. As they aren’t bold enough to go against this fan club fearing trolling and reprisals, they find it easy to ride with the wind.

In this media environment, can Muslims expect to be heard and their case to be pleaded by these biased media houses? They have to either put up with this or mull over focusing on creating their own media giants. There’s no dearth of financial and other resources, technical expertise and journalistic talent in the community. All that is needed are sincerity, will and resolve to start own TV news channels.

Cyber Bullying.

Hey! In today's blog I'll discuss with you what is CyberBullying, how it occurs, and what to do if you're being CyberBullied.

First of all, what actually is "Cyber Bullying"?

Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers, as the digital sphere has expanded and technology has advanced.

The different types of cyberbullying involve causing humiliation through hateful comments on online platforms/apps, or through SMS or messaging. It comprises posting, sending, or sharing negative, nasty, or false information about another individual for causing humiliation and character assassination.

Following are some of the common types of cyberbullying:

1. Posting hurtful, nasty, or humiliating rumors or comments about an individual online.

2. Creating a fake or nasty webpage about another individual.

3. Issuing online threats provoking an individual to kill themselves or hurt someone else.

4.Triggering religious, racial, ethnic or political vitriol online by posting hate comments or content

Cyberbullying in India.

With the increasing availability of affordable data services and social media presence, cyberbullying in India has witnessed an alarming rise.

According to research conducted by Symantec, nearly 8 out of 10 individuals are subject to the different types of cyberbullying in India. Out of these around 63% faced online abuses and insults, and 59% were subject to false rumors and gossips for degrading their image.

The same study ranks India as the country facing the highest cyberbullying in the Asia Pacific region, more than Australia and Japan.

Some Horrifying Incidents of Cyber Bullying.

1. In November 2017, an MBBS student in Kerala jumped to her death from the highest floor of her college building. An examination of her Facebook profile showed her displeasure over the nasty comments made by one of her peers. Police suspect that cyberbullying provoked her to take this extreme step.

2. In February 2017, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) attacked students at a literary event in Delhi 's Ramjas College.

There are so many other cases of Cyberbullying in India as well as in other countries.

How CyberBullying starts and how we can protect ourselves from it.

See, we can't deny the fact that CyberBullying occurs from our own mistakes. When we trust strangers, share our personal information with them, and give them full access to our lives. I'm not saying you stop trusting everyone, but choose your friends wisely. If you have made an online friend, tell your parents about them. Don't keep secrets from them. Because if you ever fell in some type of trouble, they'll be the first ones to understand your problems and help you get out of it.

Never share your personal information such as contact number, address, which school do you go to with a stranger. Precaution is better than panic.

What to do if you're being CyberBullied.

Tell someone - As with any type of bullying it is important that you don’t suffer in silence and you tell someone about it straight away. It may seem hard but make sure you tell a trusted adult, such as a parent or teacher, and they will help you to decide what to do.

Report the person/group - Cyberbullying is never acceptable and you should report the content (pictures, text, group etc.) to someone you trust and to the social media site. All social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc have report abuse buttons, as most mobile phone networks have teams to deal with abuse. Games consoles also have advice on their websites. Reporting is usually anonymous so the person will not know that you have reported the content.

Block the person/group - Most social media sites will give you the option to block and report the person/group cyberbullying you. When you block someone it usually means that the person/group will no longer be able to contact you or see any of your content.

Save the evidence - It is really important that you save or copy any of the cyberbullying such as texts or conversations you receive so you have evidence of cyberbullying and can show it to the relevant people.

Don’t reply or answer back - It may be very tempting to reply to the person or group but don’t become a cyberbully yourself. Deal with the bully by blocking and reporting the abuse. It is sometimes hard not to write back, but it is always best not to retaliate. Sometimes the people bullying you are looking to get a reaction out of you and answering back can just make it worse.

Stay positive - Although it may feel like you do not have control of the situation, you can. Make sure you do the steps above and talk to people inside and outside of school that you can trust. These people care for you and will work with you to stop the cyberbullying. Stay positive, you are not alone and things will get better : )

Big thanks to Usha for such a great recommendation! ❤

There is another, untold, side to the JNU saga - analysis

On January 5, the atmosphere of anarchy prevailing in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for over two months culminated in mob violence. But to understand what happened that day, it is important to dive into recent history and tell a story that has been buried under dominant media narrative. For over two months, JNU has been under lockdown thanks to the Left parties. The trigger was the university’s decision to increase hostel utility charges to account for a deficit that the University Grants Commission (UGC) refused to fund. The process began in 2016, but the Left-led Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) was not interested in this. On October 28, 2019, JNUSU members barged into a meeting of the Inter-Hall Administration, and disrupted the proceedings. The JNUSU wasn’t invited as it’s not a notified body this year due to a legal case. Attempts to consult the elected representatives of hostels was blocked by the JNUSU.When the health of the dean of students deteriorated due to high blood pressure, he was mocked, and an ambulance was not allowed to come in. Later, he and his family were held hostage for hours at the basic health centre. The houses of wardens and provosts were systematically attacked at night, their families were threatened in order to force them to resign from the committee, and sign fake minutes of meeting. Muslim wardens were specifically singled out for communal shaming for working with the “sanghi administration”. Even a pregnant warden and those with small children were not spared. Professors were held hostage in classrooms, and a woman professor was detained for 29 hours. She was abused and her clothes torn. CCTV cameras were broken and masked Left-wing protestors shut down libraries, schools, laboratories and offices. Students and faculty who tried to enter or reason with them were physically stopped and threatened. Even after the ministry of human resource development intervened, and the fee increase was substantially rolled back, nothing changed as protestors moved onto the next demand — the removal of the vice-chancellor, M Jagadesh Kumar. The administrative block was vandalised, and hate graffiti were written on the statue of Vivekananda. The end-semester exams were not allowed to be held. Professors who tried to go ahead with the exams were manhandled, and students were warned of dire consequences. Masked protesters tried to burn answer sheets. On November 16, female security guards at the administration block were beaten. On December 14, a mob attacked Kumar.There was, then, a united Left call for boycott of registration for the new semester in January.On seeing some students defy them as the online registration route was opened by the university, masked cadre destroyed the server room on January 4. This lead to the first round of skirmishes between the Left and main opposition, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarathi Parishad (ABVP) as its members protested against the vandalism. The same evening, masked Left cadre assaulted non-Left faculty members at the School of Languages. The situation reached a boiling point on January 5, the last day of the registration. With hundreds of students trying to register, the Left resorted to physical threats and intimidation. This set off the second bout of violence with ABVP activists. Later around 3 pm, more than 150-strong masked Left mob, led by the JNUSU president, allegedly unleashed indiscriminate violence against ABVP members on the campus. Dozens were understoood to be beaten up and hostel rooms were attacked. Bleeding students hid on the rooftops, mess and wherever they could for more than an hour to escape the repeated assault attempts. The campus descended into anarchy. As darkness fell, there was alleged retaliation from the ABVP against the Left cadre. It was only then there was a media outcry. By then, the prime victims of violence were termed goons and those who held the campus hostage for three months became innocent victims. The media forgot that Left is a hegemonic force in JNU. Its cadre hugely outnumber the ABVP and other non-Left parties. By focusing only on the Left’s version of events, the media is reinforcing this power structure. It’s an act of deliberate oppression. It is the students who support the ABVP, not the Left cadre, who had to flee the campus for safety. Those who escaped are being threatened that their turn is coming soon. Female ABVP members are being abused. Dalit and other marginalised members of ABVP are being socially boycotted and thrown out of the hostel and department WhatsApp groups. There is an atmosphere of fear among common students. Students are removing Diwali decorations with swastikas from doors and walls, fearing that the Left cadre may target their rooms next time. It’s time the media puts aside their prejudices and take a stand that all violence must be condemned.Abhinav Prakash Singh is an assistant professor at SRCC, Delhi UniversityThe views expressed are personal Read the full article

JNU deficit over Rs 45 cr due to utility charges and contract staff salary - education

The three-member committee appointed by the ministry of human resource development (MHRD) held a meeting with representatives from Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers’ Association (JNUTA) on Thursday over the hostel fee hike issue even as 100 teachers announced their dissociation from the teachers’ body.Till Thursday evening, at least 113 teachers had announced their dissociation from JNUTA over an array of issues including “student violence” against teachers and provosts. There are around 550 teachers in JNU.“The trigger behind this move was unlawful detention of Vandana Mishra, associate Dean of Students, on November 8 by students. We had expected JNUTA to issue condemnation of such behaviour but it never happened. During their protests, students also gheraoed wardens and provosts. While hostel fee hike is a genuine issue and students can indulge in a democratic agitation, creating an atmosphere of fear for teachers is not the way to go about it,” said Aswini K Mohapatra, professor at the School of International Studies.In a statement issued Thursday evening, the teachers also questioned the high-powered MHRD committee and said it was in violation of norms that govern universities. “The university did not approach UGC or MHRD to intervene and solve the problem. Taking suo-motu action, the committee seeks to engage all stakeholders. The administration has been reduced to one stakeholder. So the authority of chancellor and vice chancellor have been brazenly undermined,” the teachers’ said in their statement.JNUTA president DK Lobiyal said the association was not aware of any such decision by a section of teachers. “We have not received any memorandum from them so far. We will respond to it accordingly when we do,” he said. Lobiyal also said members of the high-powered MHRD committee heard their concerns over hostel fee hike on Thursday. Thirteen members of JNUTA executive committee met the MHRD-appointed committee in Shastri Bhawan and submitted a memorandum, citing that there was no possibility of normalcy on campus till hike in hostel charges is withdrawn and the problems in the university cannot be resolved till the current vice chancellor is in office. The teachers’ body has also raised allegations of “financial mismanagement and wasteful expenditure.”“There are 17 hostels in JNU and it is important to note that all of them have been running smoothly for decades now. There does not seem to be any urgent cause for the proposed steep fee hike and no explanation has been forthcoming from the JNU administration about the sudden financial crisis that has necessitated such a steep hike in hostel charges,” JNUTA wrote in its memorandum. The MHRD committee is also expected to visit the university campus on Friday to hold another round of dialogue with the students.Meanwhile, students from Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP)’s JNU and Delhi University, and Jamia Millia Islamia unit held a protest march from Mandi House to Parliament on Thursday demanding complete roll back of the hostel fee hike in JNU.“ABVP is against the ongoing series of fee hikes across several educational institutions and would request their respective administrations to refrain from such inexcusable conduct,” said Siddharth Yadav, secretary of ABVP Delhi.Manish Jangid, secretary of ABVP in JNU, said, “While JNUSU has thrown in the towel, we continue to hold out. The manner in which the police authorities stymied our protest was undemocratic. We call for the HRD Minister to either unconditionally comply with our demands or resign forthwith.”The university administration issued a fact sheet on the hostel issue on Thursday night. “Currently, JNU is having a deficit of more than Rs 45 crore and it is largely because of huge electricity and water charges and the salary of contractual staff. The UGC no longer allows payments of salaries of contractual employees of the hostel from the salary head of the budget. The number of such employees in the hostels is over 450. The UGC has given clear instructions to JNU that all shortfalls in the non-salary expenditures should be met by using the internal receipts generated by the university. Thus, there is no alternative for the IHA than to collect service charges from the students,” Satish Chandra Garkoti, Rector 2 said. Source link Read the full article

When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to bring his Gujarat Model to the rest of the country, everyone thought he meant the pro-growth reforms that had allegedly done wonders for the economy of his home state. But the events of last week suggest that the real Gujarat Model that Modi had in mind was something else entirely: Government looking the other way as private militants violently attack disfavored groups. It's a model that infamously resulted in the slaughter of more than 1,000 men, women, and children, mostly Muslims, over the course of a few days in 2002 when Modi was its chief minister.And now Modi has done a mini re-enactment at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), a prestigious college in the heart of New Delhi whose opposition has long irritated him. This is no doubt a warning shot to the growing youth resistance against his "papers, please" citizenship law.Here's what happened at JNU:Sunday evening, 40 to 50 hoodlums, mostly men but also a few women, faces partially wrapped in scarfs, armed with clubs, iron rods, and sledgehammers, stormed the campus. Eyewitness accounts and video footage suggest that several of these people were members of the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad), a student union associated with Modi's party. They approached a group of students protesting a sudden, massive fee hike and began thrashing them. They bloodied the student president, Aishe Ghosh, and many others.Then, chanting that the students were traitors who deserve to be shot for opposing the administration, the attackers barged into dorm rooms and went on a rampage, taking care to spare rooms that sported ABVP posters. Muslim students were of course fair game. And so was a blind Hindu student, a Sanskrit scholar and a student of Hinduism no less, whose wall sported a picture of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, India's reformist founding father. (Ambedkar has fallen from grace in pro-Modi circles because he was a vigorous opponent of the caste system and other regressive Hindu practices and his thought is fueling the constitutional case against Modi's Hindu nationalism.)JNU's vice-chancellor, who is appointed by the central government, failed to mobilize campus security to stop the mayhem. Meanwhile, the Delhi police, which is under the command of the Modi government rather than local authorities, ignored the frantic calls of students for over an hour. There was a veritable battalion of cops standing right outside the campus gates, but not a single one of them went in to stop the attack. As if this is not shocking enough, the cops even stood by as ambulances were vandalized right in front of them.Modi hasn't said a word condemning the violence at JNU. No assailant has yet been charged or arrested. The police claim they're zeroing in on some suspects, but judging by how they have handled cow vigilantes lynching Muslims suspected of consuming beef, the culprits will face no more than a slap on the wrist.Incredibly, at the exact same time that the JNU students were getting bashed, the cops were preparing a rap sheet against some of them, including Ghosh, for allegedly vandalizing university computer servers the day before to stop students from registering. Ghosh denies that allegation. Meanwhile, a video that ABVP circulated — and no less than the vice chancellor retweeted — showing that the Sunday violence was triggered by a prior episode when a "lefty student" punched an ABVP member turned out to be the opposite: an ABVP supporter appears to be attacking a "lefty student."All of this — law enforcement standing by as private militants allied with the ruling party go on a violent spree, criminalizing the victims, spreading disinformation to confuse the public — was precisely Modi's modus operandi in Gujarat. But the ominous parallels with that grisly episode don't stop there.The Gujarat carnage was preceded by a long vilification campaign against Muslims, a strategy he is replicating in miniature against the university. Modi has long castigated JNU students and faculty as communists and traitors who want to break up the country — never mind that last year’s Nobel Prize recipient in economics along with two of Modi’s own cabinet ministers hail from the university. His Home Minister and right-hand man, Amit Shah, known for his brass knuckles politics, has repeatedly said the university's "tukde tukde gang" — meaning the gang that wants to dismember India piece by piece — needs to be "taught a lesson." Modi popularized this moniker a few years ago when some of JNU's firebrand student leaders harshly protested the abrupt hanging of a Muslim man who had allegedly attacked the Indian parliament.Such statements signaled to Modi and Shah's most extreme supporters that they wanted the university targeted, without having to bother with actually giving orders to law enforcement authorities.Not that the duo is shy about doing so when necessary.A few weeks ago, cops appeared to vandalize Jamia Millia University, a Muslim university in New Delhi. But Modi's comrade, Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, went even further. His police showed up at Aligarh Muslim University and roughed up students protesting Modi's faith-cleansing policies that'll strip an untold number of Indian Muslims of citizenship. Over 60 students were injured, three critically. Several students have just disappeared. A Muslim female journalist who was covering a protest in nearby Lucknow was arrested and allegedly assaulted by police.But such tactics are backfiring spectacularly. The anti-government protests, especially on college campuses, are spreading like wildfire. Students at many elite colleges have gone on strike and are holding candle light vigils to protest the events at JNU and AMU along with Modi's nefarious citizenship law.A normal politician would back off in the face of such public opposition and extend an olive branch, especially given how quickly Modi's carefully cultivated squeaky-clean image is getting trashed in India and abroad. But Modi and Shah are doubling down.Previously, they had dubbed secularists defending religious freedom as "Muslim appeasers." Now, even moderate free-market conservatives or middle-of-the-road liberals expressing concern over the direction of the country are being branded as the radical left, Madhvan Narayanan, a veteran Indian journalist, told The Week.Why is Modi doing this? What's his end game?Many fear he is deliberately baiting protesters and fomenting widespread unrest to build an excuse to cancel elections in Delhi next month and put the city under the president's rule. His party is expected to lose handily just as it has done in other state elections in recent months, thanks to the growing dismay over his assaults on citizenship. There is even speculation that he is preparing to suspend India's constitution and declare an emergency, just as Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi notoriously did in 1975.That may or may not be the case. But one open question about Modi always has been whether he was pushing an extreme Hindu nationalist agenda to gain power or vice versa: pursuing power to push his agenda. His growing enemies list — and the private and state violence he will apparently deploy against those on it — suggests that the former might be the case.This means no one outside of Modi's band of merry brothers is safe in India anymore. All of India is Gujarat now. Dissent is out. Violence is in.As one poster at a protest noted: "First AMU. Then JNU. Next You."Want more essential commentary and analysis like this delivered straight to your inbox?

Though it’s secure to provide your canine small quantities of plain yogurt as a wholesome snack, he probably gained’t reap many advantages from the probiotics present in yogurt. “Let’s face it, canine and cats eat issues that we’d by no means dream of,” Dr. Jensen says. “They’ve fairly sturdy digestive programs. Due to that, the probiotics that you simply discover in yogurt are simply not potent sufficient to get to the intestinal tract of our home pets.”

Sure, canine gasoline is extra prevalent in sure breeds!

Some canine breeds are extra susceptible to gasoline merely due to the way in which they’re constructed. The pushed-in faces of the brachycephalic breeds, together with Boston Terriers, Boxers, Bulldogs and Pugs, causes these canine to swallow air whereas they eat, which may result in extra gasoline of their digestive tracts. When you’ve got a short-nosed breed, you perceive the fact of life with canine gasoline (good factor they’re so cute!).

It’s also possible to discover particular pet meals bowls which are designed to assist short-nosed canine eat extra comfortably and swallow much less air, and there are even some manufacturers of dry meals designed with brachycephalic breeds in thoughts. “Pet meals firms have addressed how these short-nosed canine decide up their meals and have created kibble to reduce the quantity of air that these animals absorb as a part of selecting up their meals,” Dr. Jensen explains. “Smaller kibble sizes or kibbles with bigger floor areas like these formed like LifeSavers are preferable for canine that don’t chew their meals.”

A couple of different tips which may assist reduce down on swallowing air throughout mealtimes and scale back canine gasoline? Elevating the meals bowls or including some water to the meals. “By including just a little water to the dry meals, identical to you’d pour milk on cereal, aggressive eaters will ‘lap’ reasonably than ‘seize’ their meals.
