A protest is underway. Social media is flooded with opinions, criticism, debates and counterarguments. Questions are being asked of those in power and citizens are demanding answers.

For decades, a stable job was considered one of the foundations of a secure life. Many people followed a familiar path: complete education, find a reliable employer, build a career over several decades, and eventually retire with financial confidence. A permanent position with a respected organisation represented stability, identity, and social status. However, the nature
Public figures wield immense influence, and with that influence comes an equally immense responsibility. The recent controversy surrounding actor and reality television personality Ajaz Khan’s remarks about the people of Tripura has understandably evoked widespread disappointment and outrage.

When people think about pollution, they often picture smog-filled skies, contaminated rivers, or mountains of plastic waste. Yet one of the most widespread forms of pollution is something that cannot be seen—it can only be heard. Noise pollution has become an unavoidable part of modern life. From traffic congestion and construction sites to loudspeakers, factories,
