  • Media Framing of the Human Rights Violations at Palk Bay
    © Media Watch 9 (1) 141-149, 2018 ISSN 0976-0911 e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2018/v9i1/49278 Fishing in the Troubled Water: Media Framing of the Human Rights Violations at Palk Bay C. J. RAVI KRISHNAN & C. PICHAANDY VLB Janakiammal Arts and Science College, India This study aims at appropriating the social and print media construct and coverage of human rights violations in the post Eelam war between Indian Tamil fishermen and their conflict with Sri Lankan Navy in the Palk Bay. The alleged intrusion of the Indian trawlers into the Sri Lankan water and the rebuttal by Sri Lankan Navy leading to the torture, arrest and at times, death of Indian fishermen is being widely articulated and debated in Indian and foreign media. An attempt has been made here using the framing theory to investigate how human rights violations were constructed in Indian print media (Dinamani and The Hindu) and socials media (Twitter). Keywords: Palk Bay, Indian fishermen, Sri Lanka, human rights, LTTE Historically and socially, the umbilical cord bondage between the Indian fishermen and their counterpart in Northern Sri Lanka permeated a cultural oneness and the fishermen on the both sides of the Palk Bay lived happily, enjoying the marine resources mutually for generations. The Palk Bay is a strait between the Tamil Nadu state of India and the Mannar district of the Northern Province of the island nation of Sri Lanka. However, the ethnic conflict that erupted between the Tamil people of Northern Province of Sri Lanka and Sinhalese from the early 1980s to 2009, completely changed the sharing of the marine resources of the Palk Bay.

    GRT Golden ReseaRch ThouGhTs ISSN: 2231-5063 Impact Factor : 4.6052 (UIF) Volume - 6 | Issue - 7 | January – 2017 ___________________________________________________________________________________ RAMANATHAPURAM : PAST AND PRESENT- A BIRD’S EYE VIEW Dr. A. Vadivel Department of History , Presidency College , Chennai , Tamil Nadu. ABSTRACT The present paper is an attempt to focus the physical features, present position and past history of the Ramnad District which was formed in the tail end of the Eighteenth Century. No doubt, the Ramnad District is the oldest district among the districts of the erstwhile Madras Presidency and the present Tamil Nadu. The District was formed by the British with the aim to suppress the southern poligars of the Tamil Country . For a while the southern poligars were rebellious against the expansion of the British hegemony in the south Tamil Country. After the formation of the Madras Presidency , this district became one of its districts. For sometimes it was merged with Madurai District and again its collectorate was formed in 1910. In the independent Tamil Nadu, it was trifurcated into Ramnad, Sivagangai and Viudhunagar districts. The district is, historically, a unique in many ways in the past and present. It was a war-torn region in the Eighteenth Century and famine affected region in the Nineteenth Century, and a region known for the rule of Setupathis. Many freedom fighters emerged in this district and contributed much for the growth of the spirit of nationalism. KEY WORDS : Ramanathapuram, Ramnad, District, Maravas, Setupathi, British Subsidiary System, Doctrine of Lapse ,Dalhousie, Poligars. INTRODUCTION :i Situated in the south east corner of Tamil Nadu State, Ramanathapuram District is highly drought prone and most backward in development.

MANOHAR JOSHI: Sir before taking up the Question Hour I would say that I have given a notice again on the Maharashtra issue. The other day we had a discussion. I had requested that this matter may be taken up by keeping aside the Question Hour and other business of the House. Sir, the matter has become serious because there is no way out.... MR. CHAIRMAN: Could you give me just one minute please? DR.MANOHAR JOSHI: Yes. MR. CHAIRMAN: Your request has been considered very carefully. The Chair wishes to give a ruling on it. DR. MANOHAR JOSHI: Before you give your ruling, let me argue my case. If you are giving a ruling, give me few minutes to argue my case and, thereafter, you can give your ruling. Sir, my only argument is: the other day when I spoke, I had no books with me. Today, fortunately, I have brought a book called, “Practice and Procedure of Parliament” by Shri M. N. Kaul and S. L. Shakdher. MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, we are all aware of it. DR. MANOHAR JOSHI: Sir, this book has clearly said that if a matter is not started in the court, it can be discussed in the House. They have given a number of illustrations, I would not take them. But that is not the only thing. They have given two to three other reasons also.

The multi-billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) appears to have driven a wedge between all-weather allies China and Pakistan. Sharp differences have emerged between the two countries over a $6.8 billion railway line project, which is part of the ambitious China- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The impasse has even led to an indefinite delay in the annual bilateral CPEC summit. This is not the first that CPEC has triggered a strain in the long-standing friendship between the two countries. China-Pakistan ties are in troubled waters these days because of following issues:- (a) Fallout Over Rail Project Pakistan has been expecting China to lend $6 billion at a concessional interest rate of less than 3 percent for the Main Line-1 project.

  • About Current Connect
    (CURRENT CONNECT- JULY-20) ABOUT CURRENT CONNECT It gives us immense pleasure to present an innovative approach to master current affairs. Current is a passing wind and diverse issues happen at the same time. It is to an extent chaotic. Newspapers, magazines and various other sources report the chaos per se. With our experience of current affairs we have tried to give ―the current‖ a medium to travel. It is the syllabus of the UPSC with their components that are the medium through which the "Current is Passed‖ to the readers. Ever since the new syllabus of the UPSC came into existence, current has been gaining significance both at prelims as well as mains examination. This book is meant to cover current affairs and related questions arising from those events. We have not only covered the current events for their factual contents but also presented it in such a way that any question asked from that topic gets covered. Moreover, topics are also "peppered" with the relevant facts/key concepts that are related to the theme. We have also given questions for practice both, subjective and objective, so that candidates are oriented to the examination mode. It is a collection covering myriad source yet in a manageable size. To use this book we recommend you to master the components of general studies (GS) syllabus as broken into rows and columns (provided in the beginning after preface). Each cell comprising of the portion of GS becomes the connect for the current and every news subsequently covered guides the reader to the address of the syllabus.
