Comedian Kunal Kamra is back in the headlines after releasing a claimed video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with a toddler in Germany on Twitter, where the boy substituted a patriotic song (‘Hey Janmabhoomi Bharat’) with one about inflation (‘Mehengayi daayan khaaye jaat hain’).

There was outrage from certain quarters, as well as a remark from the father of the seven-year-old youngster. The National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has taken action against the comedian and requested that the video be removed from social media sites immediately.

The leading child rights organization responded to Twitter’s complaint officer, saying it had received a report about Kamra posting a “doctored” video of a youngster performing a patriotic song to promote his own political objectives.

The Supreme Court on Monday took a pessimistic perspective on parents’ concerns about schooling, ruling that children should not be put to school at an early age for their psychological well-being. The bench was considering an appeal from a group of parents who were contesting the Kendriya Vidyalaya’s six-year minimum age requirement for admission to Class 1 for the coming academic year.

“There seems to be a rush to get kids into school. Parents prefer to begin as soon as their children reach the age of two years. This may not be good for their mental health,” a bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and MM Sundresh said.

Beginning with the current academic year, a private college in Utah will provide a whole class on pornography, in which students would “view pornographic videos together” as subjects in the curriculum. Students will “view pornographic films together” and analyze the sexual objectification of ethnicity, gender, and religion as an exploratory, unconventional art form, as per the course materials posted on Westminster College’s official website under the title “FILM 2000: Porn.”

The institution further explains the choice in the course specifics, noting that sexual content is not a new phenomenon in America. The institution’s response to this leading industry is both cultural phenomenon that mirror and maintains sexual inequality and an art form that deserves serious thought, according to the course specifications.

The Saarthi Foundation, a Maharashtra-based NGO dedicated to the betterment of the poor in the public health and education sector, has created Maharashtra’s premier public toilet specifically for transgender people. The measure is intended to offer a safe area for transgender people and to avoid gender prejudice. The toilet has been opened in the Omble Garden at Aarey in Goregaon.

The ‘Kinnar’ Samaj is frequently overlooked and ridiculed in society, resulting in continuous pain for them. They are continually struggling for their survival and basic rights, such as access to sanitary and hygienic conditions. The metro’s first transgender toilet will undoubtedly bolster the morale of the third gender population, which has often felt unwanted in public restrooms.

Following a request by Muslim organizations for a bandh on Thursday to oppose the Karnataka High Court’s decision sustaining the prohibition on wearing hijab in academic institutions, a few stores in Bengaluru were closed. In Udupi, however, there was a mixed reaction to the bandh. The opposing Congress resolved to adopt a neutral stance on Wednesday. Regarding the attitude of Congress Muslim leaders on the hijab matter, a Congress representative said, “We had a meeting with religious leaders and have agreed to support the legal struggle on the matter.”

Following the Holi holiday, the Supreme Court said it will reconsider hearing an appeal against the HC ruling. Chief Justice of India N V Ramana informed senior attorney Sanjay Hegde, who had requested an expedited listing. Starting Thursday, the Supreme Court will be off for three days for Holi and will reconvene on March 21.
