It includes progressive digital features such as videos, audio, pictures, texts, graphics, etc. Digital media is extremely elaborate in our daily lives, for example, whenever we use mobiles, computers, or any applications we are using digital media, it can be masked in the shape of music, podcasts, audiobooks, videos, advertisements, digital art or even in the form of an article. Digital media has blocked our lives knowingly. When you engage in any activity on your mobile, your computer, or on OTT stages such as Netflix and Prime, you are said to be consuming digital media.

Introduction to Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016

 Author: Shrishti Baranwal, Banasthali Vidyapith- Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Legal Studies Introduction Generally, Insolvency is the state of being insolvent. Likewise, Bankruptcy is the state of being bankrupt. People often find insolvency and bankruptcy embarrassing and shameful and treat it as a taboo. A business can not be a success most of the times, but it never should be considered ‘shameful’.

The last thing a bride wants after leaving behind her father’s home and mother’s love is for her in-laws to turn into demons.

Dowry deaths, murder-suicide, and brides burning are all symptoms of a strange societal ailment, and they are an undesirable aspect of our social structure.   Since the dowry system is practised by practically every group in society, regardless of religion, based on caste, or faith, India has seen the black ills of the dowry system in a more intense form in almost all sections of the country over the last few decades.
