When British traders landed on India’s shores in the 1600s they arrived in search of spices and silk but stayed for centuries – leaving behind a legacy that would shape the nation long after their colonial exploitation ended: the English language. Over the centuries English seeped into the very fabric of Indian life – first as a tool of commerce then as the language of law and eventually a marker of privilege. трипскан вход Now after more than a decade of Hindu-nationalist rule Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party BJP is mounting perhaps the most significant challenge yet to the language’s place in India. “Those who speak English will soon feel ashamed” Home Minister Amit Shah said last month igniting a heated debate about national identity and social mobility in the polyglot nation of 1.4 billion. While Shah did not mention India’s former colonial masters he declared that “the languages of our country are the jewels of our culture” – and that without them “we cease to be truly Indian.” https://trip36.win сайт трипскан Spoken behind the walls of colonial forts and offices English in India was at first the language of ledgers and treaties. But as British rule expanded from the ports of Gujarat to the palaces of Delhi it became the lingua franca of the colonial elite. At independence India faced a dilemma. With hundreds of languages and dialects spoken across its vast landscape its newly appointed leaders grappled with the question of which one should represent the new nation. Hindi the predominant language in the north was put forward as a candidate for official language. But strong resistance from non-Hindi-speaking regions – especially in the south – meant English would remain only as a temporary link to unite the country. It’s a legacy that endures to this day – and still rankles some. “I subscribe to the view that English is the language of the colonial masters” Pradeep Bahirwani a retired corporate executive from the southern city of Bengaluru said adding: “Our national language should be a language which… has got roots in India.”
Since India’s independence from Britain in 1947 the status of English in India has been deeply political – entwined with questions of identity power and national direction. Today English is one of several official languages in India spoken by about 10 of the population. Hindi is the first language for around 44 of citizens according to the 2011 census. трипскан вход But in recent years Modi’s BJP has placed particular emphasis on promoting Hindi and reducing the use of English in public life. The prime minister almost never delivers speeches in English preferring Hindi for national addresses such as his monthly radio program. His administration has encouraged officials to use Hindi on social media and in government correspondence – though after criticism from non-Hindi-speaking states clarified that this was intended mainly for the Hindi belt in the north. https://trip-scan.biz трипскан сайт When India hosted world leaders for the 2023 G20 summit in New Delhi invitations were sent out from “Bharat” – the Sanskrit or Hindi name for the country – instead of “India” fueling speculation that the government aims to ultimately phase out the country’s English designation altogether. Modi’s critics have been quick to note his political motives behind these moves. With its roots in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh RSS a right-wing organization that advocates Hindu hegemony within India the BJP’s language policies resonate with many in a country where nearly 80 of people are Hindu. Analysts say the BJP is seeking to capitalize on this demographic by promoting language policies that strengthen its support base in the north. According to Rita Kothari an English professor from Ashoka University the government “is certainly interested in homogenizing the country and making Hindi more widespread.” But that policy can also backfire – in part because many regions such as Marathi-speaking Maharashtra in the west – are staunchly proud of their local language. The violent clashes in the state’s megacity Mumbai earlier this month were sparked by the regional government’s controversial decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in public primary schools. Pushback and protest has also been especially strong in the south where English and regional languages such as Tamil Telugu and Kannada are valued as symbols of local identity and autonomy.
When Hussain AlMoosawi arrived home he didn’t recognize anything. The Emirati photographer who had spent eight years studying in Australia returned to the United Arab Emirates UAE in 2013. He’d missed a real estate boom of dizzying proportions: not just new buildings but new districts. трипскан More than that the buildings of his childhood were disappearing replaced by shiny new skyscrapers. But for AlMoosawi these international icons were not the urban fabric of his home: it was the oft-overlooked mid-century office towers and residential blocks squeezed between new highways and overshadowed by luxury developments that felt most familiar. It sparked a desire to “understand the urban context of the UAE” and AlMoosawi set out to meticulously document and capture these underappreciated buildings “and reimagine the city as if it were the ‘80s the time when I was born.” https://tripscan36.org трипскан Initially focusing on industrial landscapes temporary structures and air conditioning units he began to notice symmetry in many of the buildings he was photographing inspiring his current project: facades. “Facades are like a face” said AlMoosawi. “It’s something that people connect with.” His bold geometric images strip away context to spotlight the character and diversity of everyday buildings. Using a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups from the ground or elevated positions AlMoosawi carefully frames out distractions and sometimes removes minor obstructions like lampposts in post-processing. So far the 41-year-old who is editor-in-chief for National Geographic AlArabiya Magazine has photographed over 600 building?s across the UAE and next year hopes to complete his collection in Abu Dhabi where he lives. In the long term he hopes to turn the “lifetime project” into an interactive archive that both preserves urban heritage and invites viewers to rediscover their own city. “Our cities aren’t big in terms of scale compared to many other cities” said AlMoosawi. “But then they have a story to tell they have things between the lines that we don’t see and my quest is to see these things.”
While manufacturers continue to tweak their products to overcome the stigma of ultraprocessed foods nutritionists suggest consumers move forward in choosing products that help the planet — as long as they keep reading the nutrition label. “I would look for something with a good fat composition in which saturated fat is less than a third of the total fat” Willett said. “Some vegetable burgers made from peas and legumes can be quite starchy which the body breaks down similarly to sugar so I would prefer to see alternatives with more healthy fat more nuts more soy.” tripscan While the Dietary Guidelines for Americans call for a limit of 2300 milligrams of sodium per day for adults “the American Heart Association recommends a limit of 1500 milligrams for adults over 50 which is the standard I prefer” Willett said. “Look for about 1 milligram of sodium per calorie which is a pretty good criteria” he added. “In general salt and saturated fat are the two really important factors — along with something that’s flavorful or delicious which is of course up to the consumer.” https://tripskan.org трип скан One more key point from Willett: Before plant-based meats can truly help save the planet they need to come down in price. “These products are quite a bit more expensive from what I’ve seen than basic hamburger” he said “and we really need products that are price competitive with the beef and pork if we’re going to see them used on a daily basis not just by people who can afford it.”
