After the arrest of two senior journalists of Zee Group, the discussion on the practice of Journalism in India has once again fuelled the debate over the credibility of Corporations heading the media groups. Though, the investigations are still on, postmortems of the whole saga have already covered every mainline magazine of the country. Most of the stories covering the event have viewed it from a Journalistic and the credibility point of view. The redundancy of the same argument about the two Journalists being unfair and dishonest to their profession has found a cacophony from print to electronic media.

Amartya sen described the falling sex ratio in India as ‘missing women’, while Migration from the villages of Uttarakhand drawn out just opposite picture of ‘missing men’[1] in the state. From the villages of Uttarakhand men are missing because small terraced fields are not able to satisfy the need of entire family as a result men migrate to other areas for his livelihood and necessities of the family. Usually they prefer most to join army forces being best employment opportunity as well as secure income for them otherwise they move forward to other sectors. Only few migrants are lucky who succeed to migrate entire family with him but all are not fortunate enough. Most migrant male workers have to wait until they get secure employment till then it’s a distributed family in which woman, children and parents left behind in the villages. Education is second biggest factor, after employment, responsible for migration. People send their children to distant towns like Almora, Nainital and Dehradun for suitable educational opportunities. In most cases, male children are prioritised for better education which prepares them to be ready to migrate. In the survey of study, it was found that near to fifty percent young males in age group 18-35 years, have migrated for different reasons from villages. (Bose Ashish, 2000)

Balasaheb Keshav Thackeray passed away on Saturday at his residence Matoshree. Yes the senapati of the Sena is no more. Bal Thackeray who was 86 was facing severe health ailments and was at his home in his room, which acted as ICU, surrounded by family and friends.
Bal Thackeray was known for his charismatic leadership. He was a great public orator. He was livid and had the capability of shaking the whole Maharashtra by his voice. I wouldn’t say he was great man but I would say he was a great figure in Maratha politics. The whole charade of protecting Marathi culture and restrict migration of North Indians labors could be done by him and him only. I am not a supporter or a great fan of his policies but I do like the way he had a hold over the Marathi Manuj. Many don’t know but he remarkably saved a community of seven lakhs in the early nineties. When told about the hardships being faced by the community who had fled terrorism in Kashmir,Thackeray who was in power in Maharashtra at that time ordered for reservation on special grounds for Kashmiri Pundits seeking seats in higher education. ....

In a democratic set-up like ours, the most significant task of the ‘media’ is to assist the flow of information in the right direction in order to support the democracy and uphold its people’s right to information, right to know and form opinions simultaneously with their right to privacy and fair trial. Hence, the media needs to be responsible enough to provide accurate information and objective reporting of the events including the cases involving the judicial trials. The media has also taken up the role of public court and has helped in the process of justice. However, there have been a large number of cases where media did not perform the way expected and received criticism for intruding in the process of administration of justice. In this article, the author discusses the role of media trial in India and whether it assists in providing justice or interrupts the process.

The mountainous peninsula of Korea that extends to the Yellow Sea and Korean Bay got divided into two parts in 1945; one communist and the other democratic. They were officially named as Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Republic of Korea (ROK) respectively and are popularly known as North and South Korea due to their geographic positions on the peninsula. The imaginary line called 38th parallel divides the two states. In this write-up I will be talking about the demography of only South Korea (ROK) before and after the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separated it from its Northern counterpart (DPRK). Only unless one has been living under a cave would one be not aware of the economically miraculous South Korea which is suitably known as one of the Asian Tigers. The irony here is that this economic miracle has been one of the reasons this Asian Tiger is becoming the Ageing Tiger. In other words, the elderly population would soon outnumber the significantly decreasing child population and South Korea is now facing what is known as below replacement fertility level or the lowest-low fertility level (Kim, 2005). This is not the problem faced by only South Korea; in fact, other Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore) too are worried about their waning youth and increasing elderly.
