मध्य प्रदेश एवं कर्णाटक सरकार ने किया लव जिहाद पे कड़ा कानून बनाने के फैसला

In an age, where coronavirus infecting masses was putting an extraneous pressure on the world, some wars were being fought in the name of religious sentiments. As proponents of Hindutva adequately term it as 'love jihad,' states were yet to fight a long battle with forceful Islamic conversion of Hindu women post marriage. Love Jihad is a conspiracy theory developed by proponents of Hindutva stating that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islamic culture by inadequate means involving seduction, feigning love, deception, kidnapping, and marriage.

Foray into Hindi News Writing

As a Journalist, I am always ready to explore languages and exploit every possibility to deliver information in every medium. As the Hindi- speaking belt in the country is vast and the Hindi-speaking diaspora is particularly interested in knowledge and information in the medium, it is enriching for Hindi news reporters to gather news in the language. Currently, India has vast ownership in Hindi Media and publishes about 1,000 Hindi dailies that have tremendous circulation of around 80 million copies. Prominent Hindi newspapers and Hindi channels have a vast coverage as the Hindi-speaking population in the country is more and English, being the second language, occupies the next place.

Working with one such prominent Hindi arm of The Logical Indian, Tark Sangat, I got in-depth experience in Hindi news writing and covering exclusive stories. Writing in Hindi is flourishing and smooth if one has the right grasp of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. 

I am excited to present my journey in Tark Sangat, with some of my journalistic pieces in Hindi news.
