The conference (also called dialogue) has received overwhelming response over the years and has evolved into an effective platform for healthy exchange of ideas and alternatives at the Track II level. The last seven dialogues focussed on issues such as economic integration, regional understanding on terrorism, evolving a framework of cooperative security, stability and growth, perceptions on India’s role, etc. The 8th South Asia Dialogue was held on October 28-29, 2014 on the theme: “The Role of Media in Promoting Regional Understanding in South Asia”. Eminent experts and scholars from the South Asian countries including Myanmar participated in this Dialogue. The Dialogue provided an opportunity to deliberate on the significant role played by the media in shaping public opinion in different countries of South Asia and explored the ways in which it can strengthen regional integration efforts. The present book edited by Dr. Priyanka Singh, Associate Fellow at IDSA, is a collection of papers presented at the 8th South Asia Dialogue. It draws upon in-depth understanding and well-researched narratives from a cross- section of policy makers, academics, civil society actors and young media professionals from the whole of South Asian Region and Myanmar. The book endeavours to put across a confluence of ideas and shared reflection on issues of common interest. Today, the media has a crucial role to play in shaping as well as influencing national and international affairs. It has the power to create disharmony as well as dispel disharmony. Through balanced reporting, media has the ability x The Role of Media in Promoting Regional Understanding in South Asia to impact interstate relations to a great extent. In the South Asian context, where interstate relations have been a hostage of historical prejudices, media has even greater role to play in creating an atmosphere of trust and understanding among people and governments across the frontiers of the state. In this context, it is timely to explore the role media can play in enabling the process of regional cooperation, which has not been exploited for common good. The deliberations in the conference opened up a new vista of understanding pertaining to the way media is operating in different countries of the region, and the way it can be harnessed for promoting trust and understanding at the regional level. It is hoped that besides serving the academia and policy makers, the book will be of immense interest to media community. It would help policy makers to understand the positive role media can play in strengthening inter-state relationship given its reach and power to shape public discourse. At the same time, it will also be useful to the media persons in the region to analyse and introspect their role in creating positive or negative impact on interstate relations. The final message that the book conveys is unexceptionable—the media can, and must, play its due role in enhancing interstate trust and creating the conditions for enhanced regional cooperation in South Asia.

Jawans deserting Central Para-Military Force SHRI S.S. AHLUWALIA: I want to draw the attention of the House towards a news item published in a national daily. The jawans of para-military forces are either taking VRS or resigning their services. They work in utterly stress situation. There is no de-stressing programme for them. Their service conditions are very poor. Their promotional avenues are also bleak. A jawan becomes a commandant in 30 years. They are killed while fighting with the terrorists. Facilities like leave, bullet proof jackets and weapons are not available with them. The incidents of their suicides are also increasing. I urge upon the Government to take immediate action in the interest of the para- military forces personnels. ___________________________________________________ ∗ This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 144 (Shri Raghunandan Sharma, Shri Vinay Katiyar, Shri Tarun Vijay, Shri Avinash Rai Khanna, Dr. Chandan Mitra and Shri M.

    China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Indian Print Media: the Case Study of Elite English Press

    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 25, Issue - 2, 2018, 229:248 China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Indian Print Media: The Case Study of Elite English Press Dr. Muqarrab Akbar and Dr. Malik Adnan Abstract This study aimed to explore the treatment of Indian elite press towards the matter of China Pakistan Economic Corridor. The study deals with the quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to measure and examine the stance of the Indian Print media towards the said issue. For the purpose of analysis four English newspapers, The Times of India, The Hindu, Hindustan Times and Tribune India were selected during the June, 2016-December, 2017 as during this period CPEC was the hot debate in the regional media especially in India. All the news stories were coded against 5 categories with regard to Pak-China, Pak-India and China-India relations in the context of CPEC. The findings revealed that Indian Print media gave very negative coverage to the issue of CPEC in their news stories. The issue was framed as a bigger threat in the region, a militant support towards Kashmir conflict between both countries. Furthermore, it was also divulged that the proportion of negative coverage was greater than its positive coverage. Pakistan and China relations were framed as a deal to counter India for being closeness of CPEC route to Kashmir valley. Last but not the least, this project was considered a violation of Indian sovereignty with regard to its territory. The strategic interests were framed against the India which could lead to impact the peace in the Southeast Asia if the project is successfully executed.

    Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: the India-Pakistan Media War

    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: The India-Pakistan Media War by Dwaipayan Bose Hillary and Trinity Terms 2011 Sponsor: Thomson Reuters Foundation Acknowledgments In a profession marked by tight deadlines, breakneck speed, long hours, intense competition and pressure from both above and below, it is absolutely essential that one takes a break, rejuvenates the brain cells and finds out what’s happening to journalism across the world. In order to do that, one needs a helping hand, a catalyst. That, for me, has been the Thomson Reuters Foundation, my sponsor and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, my place of study. I am deeply grateful to both for giving me the opportunity to spend six months in Oxford and absorb all that this great university town has to offer. Writing this paper, researching for it, studying at the Bodleian, attending seminars was an ‘Experience Extraordinary’. I am thankful to RISJ director Dr David Levy, head of the journalism fellowship programme James Painter, and director of journalism John Lloyd for structuring the fellowship in a way that left me intellectually stimulated and enlightened. Life and logistics were taken care of by RISJ administrator Sara Kalim, staffers Alex Reid, Kate Hanneford-Smith and Amanda Armstrong – all of whom were extremely kind and helpful. I can never thank Dr Daya Thussu, my guide, enough for the great interest and commitment with which he helped me navigate through this delicate subject. Senior journalists, editors of India, Pakistan and beyond have helped me, spoke to me and gave their frank and free views on the subject.

    UNICEF Afghanistan Country Office Gender and COVID-19 Strategies

    Putting women and girls at the forefront of UNICEF Afghanistan Programme: Gender and COVID-19 Update December 2020 /2020/Omid Fazel /2020/Omid UNICEF Afghanistan UNICEF © Background The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis on an unprecedented scale, affecting lives and communities worldwide. As a result of the circumstances brought on by COVID-19, children, adolescent girls and women face a myriad challenges. These range from an increased exposure to violence and early marriage, to significant loss of learning opportunities, diminished access to health facilities and devastating economic losses. Within this context, the unique needs of women and girls have not been adequately prioritized in response plans. In addition, information about women and girls’ experiences often remains hidden within existing data, obscuring the complexity, nuances and uniqueness of their situation. In Afghanistan, the COVID-19 crisis has aggravated pre-existing gender inequalities that hamper women’s access to services. For example, women’s access to health and gender-based violence (GBV) services has been decimated, and 67 percent of women cannot go to health centers without a male escort (Care International 2020). This is also confirmed by a recent Oxfam Study in Afghanistan. This report presents the second and last gender newsletter for the year 2020 in Afghanistan Country Office (ACO). The newsletter captures promising programme strategies that were developed and put to scale during the pandemic to address the unique needs of mainly women and adolescent girls. Key Strategies by ACO to Address Gender Issues Affecting Women and Girls in Afghanistan Promising Strategy#1: Engagement of women CSOs into gender COVID-19 responses Lack of access to information on COVID-19 by specific civil society organizations (CSOs), Voice of Women, social groups, such as women and girls, was highlighted Women Activities & Social Services Association as a critical issue affecting access to COVID-19 related (WASSA), and Action Aid Afghanistan (AAA).

Contemporary developments unfortunately prove her right. In the United States, outraged protests against President Donald Trump’s sexist remarks erupted in early 2017. In Poland, a bill banning abortion, permitted in certain circumstances since 1993, was submitted to parliament in 2016. In Iraq, a bill endangering women’s rights that included lowering the legal age for marriage was presented to the parliament in Baghdad the same year. Covering women’s issues does not come without danger. A female editor was murdered for denouncing a sexist policy. A reporter was imprisoned for interviewing 3 a rape victim. A woman reporter was physically attacked for defending access to tampons, while a female blogger was threatened online for criticizing a video game.
