So when the Global Peace Index was released we were delighted to see Iceland at the top,were apalled to see India not even featuring in the Top 100. We are reminded of our Father of the Nation who lived,spread and practiced Peace. We Hope we fare better next year. As a child,we were amazed and enamoured both in equal measure with the Postman and the Post Office providing us letters of our dear ones as well those that mattered. Since the advent of e-mails and other new tools of technology the post office started loosing its sheen,but its the India Post we are talking out which came out with new techniques of itself. One of those is the India Post Payment Bank whereby India Post shall be setting up a Payment Bank which shall provide nominal banking services like Demand Depsoits and Debit cards. At a minimum Paid-up Capital of rs 100 crores and with 650 India Post Payment Bank Branches,India Post is entering a new domain and we are happy that our childhood has “Grown-Up”. Moving on to the “Virat Kohli” of Tennis World No. 1 Novak Djokovic who prevailed on the Rolland Garros and achieved what even the mighty Federer still hasn’t achieved. This gives us an essence that no matter the target it is achievable. We wondered how can we re-use the single use space vehicles which could lead to high cost effectiveness. “Your Wish and ISRO delivered”. The Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator which was a sample in line with the future of space travel and multiple use of a single Vehicle. Bravo! ISRO make us Proud!!! Last but not the least, “THE GREATEST” bid us adieu, let us try again “The Greatest Boxer” is no more. Yes, “MOHD. ALI” passed away on 3rd of JUNE this year making us revisit the impeccable legacy of “THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPION”. With Passion,determination and tenacity everything is possible and with an able guide, Success is a guarantee. We at Mahendras, follow the same and try to be an able guide the seeking apirant. In the end, the lines by the Great Mohammad Ali. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see.” We wish you the Best of Luck and Keep up the Hard Work. “YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS” With Best Wishes Mahendra Publication Pvt. Ltd.

  • HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, and INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction
    HOW CHINESE NEW MEDIA CONSTRUCT ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES: GENDER, NATIONALISM, AND INDIVIDUALISM by QINGRU XU (Under the Direction of Dr. Peggy J. Kreshel) Around the world, sport is principally organized around masculinity. Women are often afforded limited access to sports participation, situated as “others” in a male-dominated domain. This gender inequality is mirrored in sports media; selective representations have a tremendous influence on people’s perception and understanding of sport, athletes, and society. In this study, I examined media representations of two Chinese female athletes of different status—specialized athlete, Ding Ning, and professional athlete, Li Na— in China, a nation in the midst of political/economic/cultural transformation and a sports reform initiative. Analyzing stories drawn from two Chinese web portals, I focused particularly on how gender, nationalism, and collectivism/individualism entered into media representations to determine if there were differences in the portrayals of these two female athletes. The portraits that emerged were very distinctive. A textual analysis revealed significant differences in each of the three conceptual areas. A fourth theme, which I have identified as “monetary value” also emerged. Possible explanations for and implications of differences in the media portrayals of the two athletes at this particular historical moment in Chinese society were provided.
