India is a country of growth. India’s civilization has been full of culture and tradition since the ancient times. The aspects of Indian’s tradition have been widening ever since then. It was not long ago that we, as Indian citizens, were declared free from the British rule. The freedom that we possess has been stated by our own political system. Many Indians have helped modern politicians shape the constitution of this country. The rules written in the constitution have helped us understand our basic rights and duties, whether it is a minor or an adult.

Australia’s News Media: An Anglo-Celtic Panopticon
HOW’S DIVERSITY coming along in the Australian news media? Not so much. A study by the non-profit Media Diversity Australia, entitled Who Gets to Tell Australian Stories? and released August 2020, details just how white Anglo-Celtic the Australian news media is. But it was not surprising — not for someone from a non-English speaking background who’s been a journalist in Australia for 34 years: everywhere I’ve worked in the country, it’s been a wall of white Anglos as far as the eye could see.

The Solution to Pervasive Hate is More Sex
God almighty, people suck. But not you guys. Someone bash me over the head with a blunt object. I just spent twenty minutes on LinkedIn reading comments from racist, ignorant individuals, most of them hiding behind their MBAs. Why? Because someone had the temerity to post the official White House photo of Vice President Kamala Harris. That’s why.

Policy Analysis
One of the world’s major river systems in size, habitat diversity and biological productivity is the Mississippi River. Equally important as a commercial waterway and US migration routes for both birds and fish. Aboriginals to the continent long lived along its banks, using the river for sustenance and transportation.

It could be said that the greatness of both men was largely due to that loathing, as each was determined to outdo the other over a period of at least thirty years.
