Dalit boy beaten to death over a Rape case filed by his Sister

Preyensha Srivastava |

In Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district, a Dalit boy was thrashed to death by a mass of individuals over a sexual assault case filed by her sister four years back. The victim’s sister was also beaten and his mother was disrobed by the mob when she tried to save her son from the assault as claimed by the police.

 

The attackers assaulted the victim and forced his sister to withdraw the complaint made against them. “Eight out of nine people are arrested by the police and are facing strict charges under the SC-ST Act,” said the Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Uikey. With tears in her eyes, the victim’s mother expressed, “They had beaten him a lot, so much so that he could not survive. They disrobed me till the cops arrived. I was given a towel by the cops and I stood there till I was handed a saree. They also damaged and destroyed our house and also went in search of our two sons,” The mob also attacked the victim’s aunt’s house. “They would have killed my husband and son too” his aunt claimed. The dispute started when the victim’s sister filed a complaint against four people for sexual assault and beating her. All four accused were arrested in the case, which has now moved to court. 

 

The situation in the village remains unsettling as the police are deployed, the victim’s family was assured help under the government schemes by the District Collector and then the final rites were performed. The mishap triggered a series of exchanges between the ruling party and the opposition including Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party. The opposition slammed the BJP, whereas the ruling party claimed that they took swift action on the situation. The ruling party also criticized Congress for its selective approach to highlighting crime. 

 

The Congress chief Malika Arjun Kharge replied by saying, “ Dalit and tribal oppression persisted unabated in Madhya Pradesh. The BJP has made Madhya Pradesh a laboratory of Dalit monstrosities.” Kunal Nath, who is the state chief of Congress, requested monetary help for the sufferer’s family. MP Minister, Bhupendra Singh refuted all the allegations and claimed the crime was a result of a dispute between the two groups.

Navigating NFT: A Comprehensive User Guide

Devendra Khati |

Digital art is a broad term encompassing any art created using digital technology. This can include anything from paintings and drawings to sculptures and animations. NFTs, a digital art developed using blockchain technology, experienced a meteoric rise in popularity. The predicament has only gotten trickier. Tens of millions of dollars have been paid for ape images, headlines about million-dollar hacks of NFT projects are nonstop, and corporate cash grabs are only getting worse.

 

With the NFT market exploding, NFT holders are expected to have a brighter future. The internet was launched many years ago, completely transforming how humans lived on Earth. Another example is blockchain. After the 2008 U.S. disruption, blockchain came into the picture of the system upon which cryptocurrencies and NFTs are built.

 

In this article, we will explain the concept of NFTs, what they are, and How To Buy Or Sell Them. So, if you plan to invest in NFTs or take an interest in cryptocurrencies, read this article until the end. Without any further ado, let’s get started!

 

What is an NFT?

Non-fungible token, commonly known as NFT, are digital tokens in the blockchain network. The hype around NFTs has increased massively, especially in the past few months. In simple terms, these are your digital assets, which are further transformed into a kind by developing a unique digital signature that defines the ownership of the asset and can be sold or bought even for real money.

 

Many believe that NFT is a kind of cryptocurrency, which is a misconception as these are not interchangeable tokens. In contrast, each token represents unique assets a specific person owns. The love and support that NFTs are getting have motivated thousands and millions to transform their art forms into digital tokens that can be bought and sold at as high as $91.8m.

 

So, if you’re one of the many artists who think more than twice before putting your work online? Or if your work is not secured online, as anyone could easily forge or replicate it, choose the path of NFTs.

 

NFTs majorly work for supply chain purposes as organizations maintain reliable data regarding their physical world assets. Hence, companies are dependent on NFTs to showcase their actual assets digitally. Since NFTs easily represent real-world assets digitally, tracking these objects through NFTs is easier. By any chance, the NFT is resold, and programmers design NFTs to automate royalty back to the original creator quickly. It minimizes the chances of copying. Today, consumers are extremely selective about product descriptions. Therefore, providing reliable certifications, including fair trade or organic, boosts sales.

Benefits of NFTs

 

The use of NFTs in digital art has several benefits:

  1. NFTs may contribute to the rarity of digital assets. Due to this, collectors may find them to be more valuable and appealing.
  2. NFTs can offer ownership documentation for digital assets. By doing this, fraud can be avoided, and artists’ rights can be safeguarded.
  3. Online trading and transfers of NFTs are simple.

They are, therefore, a practical means of buying and selling digital art.

 

NFTs’ limitations

 

The use of NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) for digital art has some restrictions as well:

  1. Making and selling NFTs can be expensive.
  2. It can be complicated to comprehend NFTs.
  3. Neither a government agency nor a financial institution regulates NFTs.

 

 

The Bottom Line

NFTs are a brand-new, cutting-edge method for making, selling, and acquiring digital art. They have several benefits over conventional methods of buying and selling digital art, including the ability to trade them online and proof of ownership. However, NFTs have some drawbacks, like their high price and lack of regulation. NFTs are a promising technology that could fundamentally alter how we buy and sell digital art.

Preyensha Srivastava |

India’s Star athlete, Neeraj Chopra records his best throw at the World Athletics Championship 2023. The experienced Campaigner repeated his Tokyo Olympics masterclass in Hungary, recording his best throw of 88.17m, in his second attempt. With the help of Chopra’s Golden Arm, India secured their first-ever Gold Medal in the World Athletics Championship. Two other Indian Athletes, Kishore Jena and DP Manu competed in the Championship, alongside Chopra. Kishore Jena finished at the fifth Position, by throwing the javelin 84.77m away, which was his best throw yet. Whereas, Manu threw the Javelin at 84.14m away, earning him the sixth Position in the tournament. 

 

Chopra’s second attempt in which he recorded his best throw,  was just a few meters behind the foul line, which gave him an inch over the other athletes. The 25-year-old claimed another Medal in his tally, some of the major Medals being the Tokyo Olympics Gold (2022), the Asian Games gold in 2018, a Gold Medal in the Commonwealth Games (2018), and the U-20 World Championships gold in 2016. With Chopra at first, Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem secured the second spot and Czech’s Jakub Vadlejch claimed a bronze medal defeating Germany’s Julian Weber, putting him in fourth place.

 

The World saw another India-Pakistan clash at the tournament, where Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem recorded a throw of 87.82m in his third try. Although Neeraj had a lead still he was under pressure as the Pakistani athlete recorded a throw of 90.18m in the Bermingham CWG. The Indian Athlete kept his cool and recorded throws of 86.32m, 84.64m, and 87.73m in his last three attempts.  After winning the Championship Chopra said, “ In Big Tournaments like these, I am habitual of keeping myself under pressure and giving my best. I know it is my responsibility to perform well in every tournament, especially tournaments like these which come once every two or four years.” He further added, “Another thing that I add to my training schedule is visualization which helps me imagine the bigger picture and makes me mentally prepared for winning medals on the World stage”.

 

While Nadeem recorded an 87.17m throw in his fourth attempt and his fifth attempt resulted in a foul throw.  The Pakistani player was visibly under some pressure, which resulted in his throw being just 81.86m with him being just five feet away from the foul line. Chopra was quite comfortable with his last throw being 83.98m assuring him the First Place in the Championship. Keep in mind that Chopra’s first throw was a foul but he still managed to grab the gold.

Donald Trump’s mugshot released; first for any serving or former US president

Preyensha Srivastava |

Donald Trump’s unprecedented mug shot was unveiled on Thursday when he was charged in Atlanta with conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election outcome. This was a landmark event as Trump became the first serving or former US president to undergo this booking procedure and had his mugshot taken.

 

Captured without a smile, inmate no. P01135809’s image, as identified in the Fulton County Jail records, was disclosed by Reuters. Trump, previously involved in three criminal cases, never had a photo taken like this before. On the day of the release, he shared the mug shot with the message: “ELECTION INTERFERENCE! NEVER SURRENDER!” on his Truth Social platform. This comes after Twitter banned him in 2021, post the US Capitol riot.

 

After spending a brief 20 minutes in jail, Trump returned to his New Jersey golf club. Before his departure from Atlanta’s airport via his private plane, he reiterated his stance that the prosecutions he’s facing are based on political bias. The Georgia charges against him include 13 felonies, such as racketeering, traditionally linked with organized crime. These allegations pertain to his attempt to sway state officials over his election defeat and to set up an unauthorized group of electors to challenge Joe Biden’s formal 2020 win.

 

In the sheriff’s office-released photo, Trump frowned into the camera, donning a dark blue suit, white shirt, and red tie. Following his arrest, the 2024 Republican presidential nomination frontrunner labelled it a “very sad day for America” and denounced it as a “travesty of justice,” maintaining his innocence and saying that he did nothing wrong. On his Truth Social platform, Trump shared the mug shot with the tag “Election Interference” and a link to his campaign website. The Fulton County Jail specified his measurements as six foot three inches in height (1.9 meters), 215 pounds in weight (97 kilograms), and his hair colour as “Blond or Strawberry.”

 

Since April, the billionaire has faced criminal charges on four occasions, foreshadowing a year of extraordinary drama. Amidst managing numerous court appearances and a new White House campaign, Trump skillfully avoided being photographed after each of his arrests. These incidents took place in New York, where he was accused of paying hush money to a porn star; in Florida, charged with mishandling classified government documents; and in Washington, facing allegations of conspiring to disrupt the 2020 election outcome against Joe Biden.

 

Interestingly, Trump’s apprehension followed his decision to decline participation in a televised debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This debate featured eight contenders vying for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Despite their lower rankings in polls compared to him, Trump remained the centre of attention. Notably, almost all the candidates, excluding just two, pledged their support for him as the potential nominee of the party, even if he ends up being a convicted criminal. This political landscape sets the stage for an eventful year ahead.
