<a href="http://www1.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=prime+minister+narendra+modi&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Prime Minister Narendra Modi</a> re-shuffled his entire Cabinet and also kickstarted debates of all sorts on various issues. <a href="http://www1.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=modi+cabinet+reshuffle&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Modi’s Cabinet rejig</a>, which is the biggest one in recent years, was done keeping an eye on assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, which is slated next year in 2017.<br />
 <br />
One of the major changes that the Cabinet saw was dropping <a href="http://www1.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=smriti+irani&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Smriti Irani</a> as Education Minister and moving her to textiles.<br />
 <br />
Even though the move was quite anticipated in the party rungs, the demotion came as a surprise to many.<br />
 <br />
Irani’s exit as education minister was prompted owing to various reasons and now it is to see how she performs in textiles. One should not forget that she still is a Cabinet minister.<br />

 <br />

ByeByeSmriti: From Text to Textiles, Twitter is trolling Smriti Irani after she is dropped as education minister

India's Vice President Venkaiah Naidu took a shot at the country's news media and pushed for restraint, much like the US President Donald Trump.<br /><br />Naidu advocated for prescribing a minimum educational qualification for aspiring journalists, <a href="http://pib.nic.in/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=1562435" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">according</a> to the Press Information Bureau. "The Fourth Estate had always championed the cause of the underdogs," he said, but then went on to add that,"the same cannot be said of the noble profession any longer as commercial and other considerations were taking precedence over everything else."<br /><br />Naidu warned the country's press against becoming become captive receivers of biased and partisan information. "One would have to read a minimum of four to five major newspapers to get a complete sense of the current developments. Same is the case with the news channels," he said.<br /><br />It is true that there is a rise in <a href="http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/duty-identity-credibility.pdf" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">sensationalism</a> (pdf) and polarisation in Indian media. However, it is unlikely that the establishment would be annoyed by outfits that take the same line as the government on most contentious issues. Therefore, the curbs, if any, will only affect those who contest the state's narrative.<br /><br />The comments from Naidu have come two days after the government was cornered by a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/unemployment-in-india-is-at-its-highest-in-45-years-says-an-indian-daily-citing-an-undisclosed-jobs-survey/articleshow/67769020.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">scoop</a>, which said that the unemployment in the country was at its worst in 45 years based on an undisclosed survey submitted to the government by the National Sample Survey Office (<keyword id="159764" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="nsso">NSSO</keyword>). <br /><br />The story was covered by  every major media outlet-- both Indian and foreign-- and all of them attributed it to the daily, Business Standard, which reported it first. It was a body blow for the government that has tried to dismiss allegations of a jobless growth in the world's sixth largest economy.<br /><br />This is not the first time that governments in India have advocated curbs on press freedom. Just last year, a similar attempt by the Information and Broadcasting (I&amp;B) Ministry had to be withdrawn after a severe backlash from the industry.<br /><br />In April 2018, the I&amp;B Ministry issued a circular stating that the Press Council of India and News Broadcasters Association, the two regulatory bodies for print and television media respectively, will determine whether a news story is fake or not. However, the notice was withdrawn by the government after a <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ib-ministry-overturns-arbitrary-fake-news-norms-after-pm-modis-intervention-opposition-slams-govts-u-turn-5122107/" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">reported</a> intervention by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The minister then, Smriti Irani, has <a href="https://www.rediff.com/news/report/goyal-given-additional-charge-of-finmin-irani-loses-ib-ministry/20180514.htm" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">since</a> been moved to another department.<br /><br /><strong>The other side of the story</strong><br /><br />India already <a href="https://rsf.org/en/india" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">ranks</a> an abysmal 138 out of 180 countries in the world, just one notch above Pakistan, for press freedom. India slipped two places on the world ranking in 2018 due to a variety of reasons.<br /><br />While the country still has a rich variety of news media, the challenges for journalists have been on the rise.<br /><br />Particularly, in strife-torn regions. "Kashmiri journalists working for local media outlets are often the targets of violence by soldiers acting with the central government's tacit consent," said the <keyword id="1542416" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Press-Freedom-Index">World Press Freedom Index</keyword> Report 2018 by Reporters Without Borders. Foreign reporters are barred from the region and the Internet is often disconnected during tense times.<br /><br />There has also been a rise in physical attacks. "At least three of the journalists murdered in 2017 were targeted in connection with their work. They included the newspaper editor Gauri Lankesh, who had been the target of a hate campaign on social networks. Three other journalists were killed for their professional activity in March 2018," the report said.<br /><br />Parties of all political hues have had a bone to pick with one media outlet or another, both at the central and the state levels. The politicians have been quick to file defamation suits against reporters, while criticising rivals for doing the same.<br /><br />The plight of journalists on social media is a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/22/opinion/india-journalists-slut-shaming-rape.html" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">story</a> in itself. Journalists are repeatedly abused, threatened with murder or rape by online trolls backed by political parties. Even the prime minister has been blamed for his tacit support to many online bullies.<br /><br />The comments from Naidu today is likely to revive the debate on press freedom in India.<br /><h2 style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: 500; font-family: Opensans-Regular; overflow-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; font-style: italic;"></h2>

Threat to press freedom in India as vice president wants a 'code of conduct'

Politics is India is not boring. It is packed with pompous statements, lots of action and really interesting characters. Recipe for a full-blown Bollywood flick (talk about cliches). But, this year, it is time to move beyond freudian slips, scandalous remarks and attempts to alter history by our politicians. In 2018, some our ministers and lawmakers took it upon themselves to directly challenge science—yes, believe us someone did. <br /><br /><strong>Here is a rundown of the six biggest political gaffes of 2018, number 6 is bound to leave you spellbound (sarcasm intended).</strong><br /><br /><strong>1. “Would you take a used sanitary napkin to a friend’s place?”<br /></strong>

You would not.’ She later took to twitter to clarify her comment by citing Zoroastrian traditions. <br /><strong><br />

This time it happened while the prime minister was addressing a gathering in Bihar’s Champaran district. PM Modi made a similar slip while addressing a political rally in 2013. Mahatma Gandhi’s full name is — Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, however PM Modi accidently addressed him as as “Mohanlal” Karamchand Gandhi. <br /><br /><strong>“Why run after politicians for job? Graduates should get cows and milk them”</strong><strong>—said one Indian chief minister <br />

</strong><br />The controversial Chief Minister of Tripura, Biplab Kumar Deb has now been crowned as the king of gaffes in India. He seems to have been a serial offender and was even reprimanded by his party’s senior leadership for a series of brazen statements. In a bizzare comment, he suggested that graduates in India should not run after ministers and political parties to get a job rather they should get cows and milk it to earn one million in 10 years. <br /><strong><br />‘Many trips to bar.

<br />The president of Indian National Congress Rahul Gandhi was in an embarrassing situation while addressing lawmakers in the Parliament. What he aimed was for a snarky remark against his arch-political rival Prime Minister Modi. However, ended up being the butt of several jokes. D<a href="https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-pradhan-mantri-ji-bar-mai-jate-hain-i-mean-abroad-rahul-gandhi-s-gaffe-leaves-pm-modi-laughing-2639481">uring his speec</a>h in the lower house of the Parliament in July 2018, he made a faux pas by saying “the Prime Minister took many trips to BAR. Reacting to some smirks and giggles - he immediately corrected himself and said “I mean abroad…” He mixed up the Hindi word ‘bahar’, which means outside, to the english word bar - where one generally goes to loosen up and have a good time. While Gandhi promptly clarified the whole situation made several politicians including the prime minister, who burst into laughter. A light Parliamentary moment, indeed!<br /><strong><br />Biplab did it again! Revisiting historical facts about Rabindranath Tagore <br />
  
	
	
	
	
  
  <div type="image" title="041dc25864a3ed16f5f04ff7b2fb5662" msid="67321054" hostid="261"></div>













</strong><br />Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb— who we earlier dubbed as the ‘king of bloopers’ once said that nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore rejected the Nobel Prize as a mark of protest against the British Empire. In fact, Tagore never declined the award that he received in 1913 for his work ‘Gitanjali.’ He further added, Tagore was awarded with “Biswosrestho” (world’s best) award for Gitanjali. <br /><strong><br />‘Ducks raise oxygen level in water bodies’ - No prizes for guessing who said that!<br />

</strong><br />In another major gaffe, the Tripura chief minister claimed that ducks can raise oxygen levels when they swim in water bodies. Yes, yes this is a scientific fact, but it still became news because of the bizarre comment. He said, “When ducks swim in water, oxygen level automatically increases in the waterbody. It (oxygen) gets recycled. Fish in the water will get more oxygen. They also benefit from bird droppings. Thus, pisciculture will benefit and fishes will grow faster, that too in a completely organic way,” reported NDTV. <br />

<br />The government is in the process of developing a trademark to reinforce India's position as the top source of handmade carpets, while setting standards that would make sure that these products comply with quality benchmarks. <br /><br /> The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/politics/Smriti-Iranis-exit-from-HRD-ministry/articleshow/53265717.cms">textile ministry</a>, headed by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/politics/These-are-the-possibilities-why-Smriti-Irani-was-removed-from-education-ministry/articleshow/53075294.cms">Smriti Z Irani</a>, is working on its plan to create a brand for Indian handmade carpets, like Australia's Woolmark, which guarantees the highest quality of wool. <br /><br /> Also read: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/ByeByeSmriti-From-Text-to-Textiles-Twitter-is-trolling-Smriti-Irani-after-she-is-dropped-as-education-minister/articleshow/53079444.cms">ByeByeSmriti: From Text to Textiles, Twitter is trolling Smriti Irani after she is dropped as education minister</a><br /><br /> "We are working on a brand... a trademark that will ensure that the products comply with the standards set by the organisation," Mahavir Pratap Sharma, chairman, <keyword id="384466" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Carpet-Export-Promotion-Council">Carpet Export Promotion Council</keyword>, told <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/garments-/-textiles/indian-handmade-carpets-may-get-government-trademark/articleshow/58231235.cms">ET</a>. "We will take two or three years to create parameters on turnover, employment and compliance with effluent treatment norms." <br /><br /> India’s handmade rug exports industry stands at around Rs 9,000 crore and is 40% of the global contribution, with Iran, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/topic/china">China</a>, and Nepal being the other key players. While Iran accounts for about 20-25% of total exports, China has about 20%, while Nepal has a 10% share. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/topic/europe">Europe</a> and America, on the other hand, are the chief importers, and take almost 95% of the total imports. <br /><br /> The council is also considering establishing training standards so that weavers can meet certification norms. <br /><br /> "We want India's handmade carpets to become synchronous with the brand. We want to put it across that handmade carpets can be as per customers' choice, unlike machine-made rugs," he said.<br /><br /> (Image source Discovering Chennai)<br /><br />
