Abstract:Women despite accounting for a major percentile of the Indian polulace, had their tasks cut out in order to gain access to realize even their basic needs. The societal norms, culture, traditions that were prevalent during varying courses of time also had a telling impact on them in not realizing it and had to look up to the head or the dominant figure to cater to their basic needs whilst also seking permission to achieve the same through their father, brother, husband etc. The aspect of women empowerment in India took part in different phases in the rich and vast history of our country. Social evils against women were abolished and done away viz. Sati, widow re-maariage etc. The concept of women empowerment is incomplete without the aspect of employment oppurtunities for women.

  • Caring for the Hindu Patient
    Caring for the Hindu Patient Most Hindus in Britain come from Gujarat, in western India, or from east Africa. However, Hindus divide into different sects whose beliefs and philosophies are quite different and practices may vary. SIGNIFICANT TERMS KARMA - Hindu doctrine teaching that what the individual does in this life will affect him in the next. DHARMA - Living of a good and virtuous life which frees the soul from the cycle of death and rebirth. AYURVEDA - Well-defined philosophy of life advocating regular diet, sleep, defecation, cleanliness of body and clothing, as well as moderation in physical exercise and sexual indulgence. A Hindu patient may adhere to some aspects of this and want to discuss his/her care accordingly. BRAHMIN - The highest Hindu caste from which the PANDIT (priest) is chosen. HARIJAN - Where the Hindu caste system still has a hold this is the lowest Hindu caste (untouchables). Menstruating women and mourners can be seen as ritually unclean and therefore untouchable. MANDIR - Hindu Temple. BHAGAVAD GITA - Chief of the Hindu holy books. SPECIAL MODESTY - Is very important. Hindu women can be very reluctant to undress for CONSIDERATIONS examination. Female doctors for female patients wherever possible, and same- sex nursing is preferred. Disregard of modesty can cause extreme distress. Sensitivity to it can make communication with the patient very much easier. Discomfort or pain in the genito-urinary or bowel areas is often not mentioned, especially if a spouse is present. This can raise sensitive nursing issues which need to be carefully addressed. HYGIENE - Hindus need running water, or a jug, in the same room as a toilet.

  • Government Advertising As an Indicator of Media Bias in India
    Sciences Po Paris Government Advertising as an Indicator of Media Bias in India by Prateek Sibal A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master in Public Policy under the guidance of Prof. Julia Cage Department of Economics May 2018 Declaration of Authorship I, Prateek Sibal, declare that this thesis titled, 'Government Advertising as an Indicator of Media Bias in India' and the work presented in it are my own. I confirm that: This work was done wholly or mainly while in candidature for Masters in Public Policy at Sciences Po, Paris. Where I have consulted the published work of others, this is always clearly attributed. Where I have quoted from the work of others, the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations, this thesis is entirely my own work. I have acknowledged all main sources of help. Signed: Date: iii Abstract by Prateek Sibal School of Public Affairs Sciences Po Paris Freedom of the press is inextricably linked to the economics of news media busi- ness. Many media organizations rely on advertisements as their main source of revenue, making them vulnerable to interference from advertisers. In India, the Government is a major advertiser in newspapers. Interviews with journalists sug- gest that governments in India actively interfere in working of the press, through both economic blackmail and misuse of regulation. However, it is difficult to gauge the media bias that results due to government pressure. This paper determines a newspaper's bias based on the change in advertising spend share per newspa- per before and after 2014 general election.
