Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” On Thursday, a man opened fire at anti- CAA protestors outside Jamia Millia Islamia University, injuring one student, Shadab Fa- rooq in the arm. Fortunately , Shadab is out of danger. The firing took place despite heavy police presence in the area and the man was later overpowered by protesters. The students were heading from Jamia to Ma- hatma Gandhi’s memorial Rajghat. The march was stopped at the Holy Family Hospi- tal near the university . Students squatted in the area, asking the police to go back. The entire incident was caught on camera in which the shooter dressed in light coloured pants and a dark jacket, can be seen walking away on an empty road barricaded by police, then turning around and firing shots. He supposedly shouted something like “yeh lo azaadi” before firing. He is said to be a minor which is even more worrying. The incident today is not just a reflec- tion of deteriorating law and order in the capital but far worse. It is a state- ment of what the CAA and NRC are do- ing this nation. The elections in Delhi are fuelling the divide. Elections might be won or lost but will this hatred also go away? Toxic speeches add to the bitter environ- ment and twist the mind of the impression- able youth. The leaders of this nation need to think about why the youth of India is sitting in pro- tests on the roads and focusing on or worry- ing about grades, courses, employment and the hundreds of things that youth suppos- edly are apt to do. Why does a minor take up arms and indulge in an act of extreme vio- lence against people he does not even know? That a serious point of view has been taken by the government and strictest action or- dered is fine but this does not solve the issue at hand. After such an incident the protests will intensify and so will marginalisation. The protest against the shooting lasted more than seven hours with protestors being detained and later released. An attempt to murder case has been filed against the shooter, supposedly his FB ac- count which had hate posts has been deleted and his mark-sheet showing that he is a mi- nor is doing the rounds on social media. It is poignant that the incident occurred on Martyr’s Day . When the entire nation (hope- fully) was remembering the teachings of Ma- hatma Gandhi of non- violence and peaceful protest and also how he died, this entire inci- dent echoes that fateful day . It was yesterday when Gandhiji was re- membered more than ever through speeches, functions, commemorations and much more by the political leaders. They should also re- member his teachings. “Y KS TOMAR The author is a Political Analyst —Mahatma Gandhi T wo crucial developments in in- ternational arena including British prime minister Boris Johnson’s victory in parliament leading to passing of legislation to Brexit European union on Jan 31 coupled with American president Donald Trump Im- peachment and subsequent high-level tension with Iran may have fallout on India hence Prime Minister Narender Modi will have to tread cautiously to protect interests of the nation. Prime Minister, Johnson while increasing working permit for Indian students for 24 months had sent clear signal that he will favour policies which will enhance intake in British universi- ties and the equal playing field will be created when compared with Non-European students and they will fill the void which will be fallout of leaving EU. Similarly, Trump has sup- ported India on crucial is- sues like aberration of 370 article, acts of terrorism vis a vis Pakistan etc and chanc- es of his Impeachment by Senate are being ruled out. of imports, foods and other eve- ryday commodities, which will impact Indian firms. Automobile, Pharma and IT might be the most affected. NASSCOM has predicted that the effect of Brexit will be felt on the $108 Billion Indian IT sector in the short term. Owing to Brexit, EU student enrolments are already slow- ing down and now EU students will stop getting any special treatment, levelling the playing field for all overseas applicants. The UK has always been a gateway for Indian firms to enter the EU single market. After Brexit, this may cause short term distress on Indian firms MORE TIME TO GET WORK PERMITS IN UK All students will get 2 years to find employment after com- pleting the studies. Moreover, Indian students can work temporarily during this period making Brexit a hidden boon for them. POSITIVE IMPACT OF BREXIT ON INDIA Free trade agreement: After losing access to the EU single market, the UK would want to develop trade relations with emerging markets around the world. India, with strong eco- nomic fundamentals and a large domestic market, is in a better position. Easy market access: India is a significant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) source for the UK because many Indian firms have used it as a gateway to the EU single market. Initially, af- ter divorcing from the EU, the UK wouldn’t like to miss Indian investment. It will at- tract Indian firms by offer- ing more incentives. JOB OPPORTUNITIES OPEN UP IN BIG WAY The benefits of Brexit aren’t limited to the higher odds of admission or an extended time period to get a job. The chance of obtaining employment will also enhance. 16,550 in 2016. The reason was stricter stu- dent immigration laws. It made getting a student visa and find- ing work post-study hard. As a result, students from India and non-EU nations opted for more welcoming countries. Last year, however, the tides changed. Brexit made a positive impact on Indian immigrants hoping to study in the UK. 21,165 students got the visa required for higher education in the UK in 2018, while in 2017 only 15,161 students got it. That’s a 40% increase. NEGATIVE IMPACT OF BREXIT ON INDIA An important impact would be visible on currency volatility as there wou ld be devolution of Pound and Euro due to Brex- it. Indian companies with a siz- able presence will have to bear the brunt. The UK has always been a gateway for Indian firms to en- ter the EU single market. After Brexit, this may cause short term distress on Indian firms. Brexit can affect the Indian flagship IT market sector, giv- en that EU accounts for 17 % of the global market and UK accounts for solely 3% out of that 17%. Brexit will increase overhead cost and setting up of new headquarters perhaps, in both EU and UK separately With Brexit, there will be a considerable spike in the price IMPACT IS VISIBLE The job prospects for Indian students in the UK, after Brex- it, may grow exponentially . House of Representatives of America has passed a resolu- tion with 224 to 194 majority which has stopped President Trump from starting any war with Iran after killing an army general who was closest to Khomeini. India may benefit In- dia which has got close ties with Iran which is major source of import of crude oil. The conflict between America and Iran may cripple the Indian economy which is already in bad shape. Now as per indications, there are fewer chances of war which may protect our ties with Iran. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL EFFECT ON EDUCATION SECTOR/STUDENTS & TRAVEL Britain is one of the most sought after education destina- tion for Indians. Brexit frees up funds for the other students and more Indian students might be able to get scholarships. India is a significant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) source for the UK because many Indian firms have used it as a gateway to the EU single market AN EQUAL PLAYING GROUND FOR INDIAN STUDENTS Until now, a non-EU student faced more restrictions than an EU student while applying to British colleges. A European Un- ion resident was far more likely to get admission. It’s the reason why there are approximately 1,30,000 international students from EU studying in the UK. INVESTORS MOVING TO SAFE HAVEN Approximately 38,000 Indian students came to the UK to pursue higher education in 2010. The number fell to Redesigning social media platforms to reduce ‘FoMO’ F could introduce to mini- mise this most modern form of social anxiety . Humans are funda- mentally social crea- tures. Our identity, be- liefs and come from shaped by our interac- tions with others. From those we know well, to fleeting moments of eye contact with the stran- gers we walk past on the street. Previous genera- tions may have had periods of respite from the social world. But the emergence of social media platforms and smartphones means ac- cess to social information and interaction, 24 hours a day , has never been easier. This constant flow of in- teraction has an effect, and despite the adage that noth- ing on the internet ever goes away, social informa- tion can expire and become less meaningful after time. ear of missing out, or FoMO, is commonly de- scribed as that anxious feeling sponding, despite receiv- ing and reading messag- es. They may fear that they have missed out on previous interactions and missed out on the chance to show empathy. Tech companies are con- flicted between their goal of having as many users as possible on the one hand and their need to balance that with user wellbeing on the other. As an alterna- tive, we propose a liberal and open model that al- lows applications and services – developed by third parties that are trusted and authorised by the user – to access their social media ac- counts and online usage data with the aim of helping them to regulate FoMO and the problem- atic attachment to digi- tal media in general. FOR FULL REPORT LOG ON TO WWW.THECONVERSATION.COM you get when you think other people might be hav- ing a good time without you. Excessive FoMO is closely related to symp- toms of behavioural ad- diction. It often leads to undesirable behaviour such as the constant checking of social me- dia, even in an inappro- priate context, like while driving, and becoming overly preoccupied with reactions to online posts and messages. Our new research has identified the main trig- gers of this psychological phenomenon, the contexts in which it happens and the types of fears involved in it. We have also suggested new design features which social media platforms behaviours and are expect an immediate an- swer. When people fail to keep up with all these bat- tling messages and streams, FoMO rears its ugly head. (like losing signal or a dead battery), we found that it often happens when people are indeed connected. For example, when people have multiple devices and social media accounts and have little time or desire to check them all, they may fear missing important mes- sages and events. FoMO can also happen when people get frus- trated by others not re- EXCESSIVE FOMO IS CLOSELY RELATED TO SYMPTOMS OF BEHAVIOURAL ADDICTION AND IT OFTEN LEADS TO UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOUR TOP TWEET Dharmendra Pradhan @dpradhanbjp India’s per capita emissions today at 1.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions is well below the global average of 4.4 tonnes.
