Bollywood Supports the Ban of Chinese Goods : Will it Inspire Common People to do the Same?

BoycottChineseProducts: Milind Soman quits TikTok, Arshad Warsi to ...

The "Boycott China" campaign on social media has received the support of many celebrities including Arshad Warsi, Milind Soman and Ranvir Shorey. Arshad Warsi has already said on Twitter that now he will be cautiously using Chinese goods. 

He wrote, "I am consciously going to stop using everything that is Chinese. As they are a part of most of the things we use, it will take time but I know, one day I'll be Chinese free. You should try it too". Milind Soman, actor-model said that he is no longer a part of short video making app TikTok. 

Soman tweeted, "Am no longer on tiktok. #BoycottChineseProducts." Ranvir Shorey had also extended support for the campaign by writing "Bilkul. Beshaq. #BoycottChina." TV actress Kamya Punjabi also requested her Twitter family to purchase only Indian goods. 

She wrote, "I never had such apps on my phone. Would like to request all who have commercials attached with such chinese products to use alternative Be Indian buy Indian #BoycottChineseProducts."

Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl director also asked people to join "Boycott China" movement. He tweeted, "Boycott "MADE IN CHINA" movement ka hissa bane... aur apne desh ki pragati main yogdaan dein. Jai Hind Jai Bharat. (be a part of the boycott Made In China movement and help in the prosperity of your country.) #BoycottMadeInChina."

Atul Kasbekar, a celebrity photographer also praised US President Donald Trump for his speech against China. He wrote "You can make all the memes you want about Pres. Trump but you have to admire the guts he's shown in taking on the Chinese govt. Fact is they've shown no sense of accountability for the pandemic and someone needed to call them out. Rest of the world should join in isolating them."

The hashtags #BoycottChina and #BoycottChineseProducts started trending on Twitter when educator and innovator Sonam Wangchuk whose life inspired the film 3 Idiots had shared a clip on YouTube appealing to all to ban Chinese Goods. He requested this because of the increasing tension between India and China in Ladakh. After that, many Bollywood celebs followed the news. 

Let us hope that after the celebs ban on Chinese products the common man will also understand its implications and ban all the goods from China.

How online education is proving to be the biggest failure in India

As we all know that the schools have been closed due to COVID 19 pandemic and the students have been taking online classes from the last few months. Online classes are becoming the biggest failures in India. Some of the reasons for the failure of online classes are bad internet connectivity. Despite knowing that all the work around the world is being done online, the cellular networks are not increasing their network speed due to which the class gets hampered.  One of the other reasons can be that students do not have a habit to take classes online and that also on laptops and computers.

The setting up of the class like env...

World Turtle Day: A day to protect and save turtles from extinction

Turtles are aquatic animals who live underwater and have a very good life span. However, many people keep them as pets at their homes which is not a correct thing to do. The main reason behind celebrating this day is to increase knowledge and respect for tortoise and turtles and make people aware of them.  The day has been sponsored by American Tortoise Rescue since 2000 and encourages human action so that the creatures can survive and progress. It is one of the most important and effective species awareness days which can help in increasing the online information on turtles.  The day is celebrated across the world in several ways, from wearing green summer dresses to dressing up like turtles. One can also save turtles caught on highways and use them for further research. The teachers can make Turtle Day craft projects and lesson plans to encourage teaching about turtles in the classrooms.
