Understandably, the discussion of 1947 in this literature is largely focussed on Partition—its memories and its long-term effects on the nation. 1 Earlier studies on Partition looked at the ‘event’ as a part of the grand narrative of the formation of two nation-states in the subcontinent; but in recent times the historians’ gaze has shifted to what Gyanendra Pandey has described as ‘a history of the lives and experiences of the people who lived through that time’. 2 So far as Bengal is concerned, such experiences have been analysed in two subsets, i.e., the experience of the borderland, and the experience of the refugees. As the surgical knife of Sir Cyril Ratcliffe was hastily and erratically drawn across Bengal, it created an international boundary that was seriously flawed and which brutally disrupted the life and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Bengalis, many of whom suddenly found themselves living in what they conceived of as ‘enemy’ territory. Even those who ended up on the ‘right’ side of the border, like the Hindus in Murshidabad and Nadia, were apprehensive that they might be sacrificed and exchanged for the Hindus in Khulna who were caught up on the wrong side and vehemently demanded to cross over.

In order to fulfill this national initiative, it is important for all employable citizens of the country to understand how the scheme works and how the know-how to be industry ready while implementing the scheme. This knowledge transfer could be achieved only when the government takes all initiatives to spread the awareness to the employable citizens. This paper takes a qualitative content approach to investigate how government has used the regional newspapers of Tamil Nadu to transfer the idea behind ‘Make in India’ scheme work for the betterment of the country.

  • A Content Analysis of the Media Coverage for Rajya Sabha Election 2020 in Karnataka: Comparative Study of ‘Vijaya Vani’ and ‘The Times of India’
    International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering (IJECE) ISSN(P): 2278-9901; ISSN(E): 2278-991X Vol. 9, Issue 5, Jul–Dec 2020; 49–56 © IASET A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE FOR RAJYA SABHA ELECTION 2020 IN KARNATAKA: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ‘VIJAYA VANI’ AND ‘THE TIMES OF INDIA’ Reethu Varna P & Mary Binu Assistant Professor Media Studies, Garden City University, India ABSTRACT Election is one of the most important events in a democracy and it’s no different in the largest democracy of the World. Citizens are given the right to votes for one particular political candidate they like and bring them to power. The voting behavior has drastically changed over years due to the influence of media. Elections go a long way in making a democracy successful; they reflect political culture and people’s political behavior. Elections are intellectual exercise that helps people to remain vigilant of the activities of the government. Democracy is about the power of citizen however; the powerful media has changed the way information is given to the public during an election. Instead of providing right information to voters and marshaling change, the press has taken the role of an influencer. This study compares and analyses the news coverage of Rajya Sabha election 2020 campaigns in two leading newspapers in Bangalore during the pre-election session. The study will also focus on the amount of space allotted for election coverage. The content analysis of this publication will be analyzed to check if any publication is biased towards a particular political candidate or a party or if it is giving any excessive information either by news coverage or photographs.

    Journal of Sports Research, 2015, 2(1): 10-17 Journal of Sports Research ISSN(e): 2410-6534/ISSN(p): 2413-8436 URL: www.pakinsight.com COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PRINT MEDIA COVERAGE OF INDIAN ATHLETES IN LONDON OLYMPICS Asish Paul1† --- Gopa Saha Roy2 1Assistant Professor, Dept. of Physical Education, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, W.B., India 2Assistant Professor, S.I.P.E.W., Hastings House, Alipur, Kolkata, W.B., India ABSTRACT Sports became the most interesting area of media coverage among different stream. As it has got its most important status in the world’s media to popularize the newspaper, there is a distinct lack of comparative research on the media coverage of sports. To minimize the gap, this search draws attention on sports coverage during the London Olympics, 2012 from three different newspapers of different languages. The coverages were recorded considering the preview, competition and review phases. The results show that the total coverage of the English newspaper, the Telegraph (36039 sq. cm.) was more than the other two Bengali and Hindi newspapers (9224 sq. cm. and 2599 sq. cm. respectively). The female performers got more attention (34942 sq. cm.) than the male performers (12920 sq. cm.). All the three newspapers provided maximum coverage in the competition phase rather than the other two phases. The English newspaper provided more attention in preview of the main competition also in comparison to the other two newspapers. It has concluded that the coverage of the print media depends mainly on the performance of the athletes, popularity of the performers and intensity of the competition.

  • Comparing Written Indian Englishes with the New Corpus of Regional Indian Newspaper Englishes (CORINNE)
    ICAME Journal, Volume 45, 2021, DOI: 10.2478/icame-2021-0006 Comparing written Indian Englishes with the new Corpus of Regional Indian Newspaper Englishes (CORINNE) Asya Yurchenko, Sven Leuckert and Claudia Lange Technische Universität Dresden Abstract This article introduces the new Corpus of Regional Indian Newspaper Englishes (CORINNE). The current version of CORINNE contains news and other text types from regional Indian newspapers published between 2015 and 2020, cov- ering 13 states and regions so far. The corpus complements previous corpora, such as the Indian component of the International Corpus of English (ICE) as well as the Indian section of the South Asian Varieties of English (SAVE) cor- pus, by giving researchers the opportunity to analyse and compare regional (written) Englishes in India. In the first sections of the paper we discuss the rationale for creating CORINNE as well as the development of the corpus. We stress the potential of CORINNE and go into detail about selection criteria for the inclusion of news- papers as well as corpus compilation and the current word count. In order to show the potential of the corpus, the paper presents a case study of ‘intrusive as’, a syntactic feature that has made its way into formal registers of Indian English. Based on two subcorpora covering newspapers from Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand, we compare frequencies and usage patterns of call (as) and term (as). The case study lends further weight to the hypothesis that the presence or absence of a quotative in the majority language spoken in an Indian state has an impact on the frequency of ‘intrusive as’.

  • 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.
