A colonial hangover or a linguistic leg-up? India grapples with the enduring appeal of English 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. tripscan личный кабинет 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 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.” |

This Abu Dhabi photographer is on a mission to define his country’s ‘architectural identity’ 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. tripscan войти 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 tripscan войти 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.” |

Language as a political tool 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. tripskan 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 tripskan 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. |

A mysterious yellow foam It all started back in March when dozens of surfers at beaches outside Gulf St Vincent about an hour south of state capital Adelaide reported experiencing a sore throat dry cough and blurred vision after emerging from the sea. трип скан Shortly after a mysterious yellow foam appeared in the surf. Then dead marine animals started washing up. Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney soon confirmed the culprit: a buildup of a tiny planktonic algae called Karenia mikimotoi. And it was spreading. https://trip-scan.org tripscan войти In early May the government of Kangaroo Island a popular eco-tourism destination said the algal bloom had reached its coastline. A storm at the end of May pushed the algae down the coast into the Coorong lagoon. By July it had reached the beaches of Adelaide. Diverse algae are essential to healthy marine ecosystems converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and benefiting organisms all the way up the food chain from sea sponges and crabs to whales. But too much of one specific type of algae can be toxic causing a harmful algal bloom also sometimes known as a red tide. While Karenia mikimotoi does not cause long-term harm to humans it can damage the gills of fish and shellfish preventing them from breathing. Algal blooms can also cause discoloration in the water and block sunlight from coming in harming ecosystems. The Great Southern Reef is a haven for “really unique” biodiversity said Bennett a researcher at the University of Tasmania who coined the name for the interconnected reef system which spans Australia’s south coast. About 70 of the species that live there are endemic to the area he said meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. “For these species once they’re gone they’re gone.” |

Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest role is ‘very temporary’ Astronomer spokesperson Just when we thought the Coldplay Jumbotron controversy had run its course Gwyneth Paltrow has entered the chat. The Academy Award-winning actress and Goop founder appeared in a new – and very funny – ad for Astronomer the tech firm whose former CEO and human resources chief launched a million memes after being shown on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert last week. трипскан “I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer” Paltrow said in the clip shared on the company’s Instagram on Friday night adding that Astronomer had received “a lot of questions over the last few days.” In addition to her other hats Paltrow of course is also the famously “consciously uncoupled” ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin who at a concert in Boston last week inadvertently revealed an intimate moment between two top executives at Astronomer – who were seen embracing but immediately ducked from view – during a performance of Coldplay’s “Jumbotron Song.” https://trip36.win tripscan “Whoa look at these two” Martin quipped at the time. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The moment caused a major internet sensation and an immediate spotlight on Astronomer. Both executives shown in the video have since resigned. In the clip featuring Paltrow on Friday the “questions” she addresses do not deal with the controversy but rather the tech-focused business dealings of New York-based firm Astronomer. The clip’s caption read simply “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.” |

Toxic algae are turning South Australia’s coral reefs into underwater graveyards – and there’s no end in sight What struck Scott Bennett most were the razor clams. The long saltwater clams resembling old-fashioned razors normally burrow into sand to avoid predators. But when Bennett an ecologist visited South Australia’s Great Southern Reef last month he saw thousands of them rotting on the sea floor. https://trip-scan.info “100 of them were dead and wasting away on the bottom” Bennett told CNN. Since March a harmful algal bloom fueled by a marine heat wave has been choking South Australia’s coastline turning once-colorful ecosystems filled with thriving marine life into underwater graveyards. The bloom has killed about 15000 animals from over 450 species according to observations on the citizen science site iNaturalist. They include longfinned worm eels surf crabs warty prowfish leafy seadragons hairy mussels and common bottlenose dolphins. tripskan https://trip-scan.info The algae have poisoned more than 4500 square kilometers 1737 square miles of the state’s waters – an area larger than Rhode Island – littering beaches with carcasses and ravaging an area known for its diversity. It’s “one of the worst marine disasters in living memory” according to a report by the Biodiversity Council an independent expert group founded by 11 Australian universities. The toxic algal bloom has devastated South Australia’s fishing industry and repelled beachgoers serving as a stark warning of what happens when climate change goes unchecked. Once a bloom begins there is no way of stopping it. “This shouldn’t be treated as an isolated event” Bennett said. “This is symptomatic of climate driven impacts that we’re seeing across Australia due to climate change.” |
