Udupi, Aug 23: Shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks against so called cow protectors, Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi's Udupi district unit has demanded a public apology from him.

Mr Modi had recently revealed that he knew the fact that some of the so called gau rakshaks were in fact anti-social elements and criminals. "I want to tell everybody to beware of these fake cow protectors. These handful of vigilantes have nothing to do with cow protection, but want to create tanaav' (tension) and takrav' (conflict) in our society," he had stated in a public meet.

Addressing a protest rally organised to condemn the PM's statement here, the Samithi's district president Vijay Kumar said that the cow protectors have been insulted by the PM. “Modi has called them anti-social elements. He has committed injustice by ordering action against cattle protectors who make up nearly 80% of the population in the country. The prime minister's opinion, which in turn, represents the government's view, is a major step towards luring the minorities,” he said.

He said the government's decision to take stringent action against cow vigilantes would end up in the increasing number of cases on cattle trafficking and slaughter. A majority of people are hurt by the decisions of the prime minister and the government in general, he said.

He said that cattle protectors put their lives in risk and involve in the task. Many times, the traffickers armed with deadly weapons and attack the people who stop them. Despite all odds, the people who believe in the religious sanctity of the cow, are carrying out a massive campaign, he claimed.

He demanded that the government, instead of reprimanding the protectors of the cattle, should take stringent action against the cattle traffickers and warn them.

Samithi leader Dinesh Nayak condemned prime minister for calling the caretakers of the cattle fake.'

He said Modi has a hidden agenda in the backdrop of the forthcoming polls in Uttar Pradesh. His statements insults the majority community in the country. There would be disastrous consequences as a result of prime minister remarks, he warned.

Deception - back fired.
BJP is the main source of supporting the cheddis.
Your plans are weakening YOU and those who play with the rules of God will face such humiliation through your own evil plans.
In few days their own hindu brothers will be attacked... dalits r already under attack... now rest of the hindus too will be attacked by the mindless cheddis?
Honest hindus should recognise this and voice out against the cheddis who is creating unrest in the society.

Dear Our Gau Rakshak Brothers

First of all prove true religiously and scientifically do you say slogans to protect cows and not other animals.
A true religion always goes with science, it does not clash with science. In vedas, you can see Hindu Rshis have eaten and sacrificed cows, cattle.

If you have evidence against your claim, bring to the public and you will have support of not only all Indians and also you will have worldwide support. What version of Hinduism are you following.

Cows in India are less than 10% of cows in the whole world.
If you are truthful with your claims, prove the whole world that your claim of go rakshan is correct.
If you can prove, you will have reward from the God and also appreciation by the whole world.

Imposing and Bringing blind faith on others is your atrocity to others. You are indirectly forcing others to follow your blind faith, which is bad.

Simply if you don't want to eat beef, it is upto you,
Others are eating their cow. Not your cow.
Don't force others to follow you and stop their food.

Our fair Hindu brothers and sisters should raise concerns and stop their illiterate so called flag carriers of Hindu religion.

Mangaluru, Apr 23: An astronomical phenomenon, ‘Zero Shadow Day', will be observed in Mangaluru on April 24 and in Udupi on April 25. 

According to a press release from Poornaprajna Amateur Astronomers’ Club, the wonder will commence and people will see their shadows disappear for a few moments at 12:28 pm.

The phenomenon is called as Zero Shadow Day. If a person takes a candle in a dark room and use it to create a shadow of one’s palm on the wall, the hand will cast shadow on the wall as one moves the hand. But when one places the palm on the wall, there will be no shadow.

In the phenomenon, the sun at these times shines exactly above the heads on these days. In astronomy, this point is called as Zenith. The point in the sky directly above an observer at any given location. So it is quite clear now that on Zero Shadow Day, the sun passes through the Zenith as a result of which, all objects will have minimal or no shadow if they are on the ground.

The reason for this happens on some specific days is concerned with astronomy. The earth spins around on its own axis and causes days and nights. It also revolves around the sun causing a year. But the seasons are caused because the axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. It is because of this tilt that the sun rises every day in the east gradually moving towards the north till June 21st and then slowly proceeding towards the south till December 21st every year. “We call these days solstice. This means the sun shines between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn every day passing by the equator on the days we call equinox,” the release stated.

As the earth moves around the sun and revolves on its own axis, for all the people between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun at noon moves father and closer to the zenith passing through zenith twice causing two Zero Shadow Days per year. People at Mangaluru will observe this on April 24 and August 18 every year and People in Udupi will observe this on April 25 and August 17 every year.

Places with same latitudes will observe the same days of Zero Shadow but the time would vary with longitude. For example, people of Bengaluru as they share the latitude with Mangaluru will also observe it on April 24. While the people of Mangaluru will observe their shadows disappear at 12.28pm, people of Bengaluru will observe this at 12:17pm. Places like Moodabidri, Bantwal, Sakleshpur and Hassan will also observe Zero Shadow on April 24.

Places like Brahmavar, Karkala, Sringeri, Kudremukha, Chikkamagaluru will observe the Zero Shadow Day on the same day as Udupi on April 25.

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.

Bengaluru, Jun 29: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah along with Congress leaders on Monday rode a bicycle from his residence to Minsk Square to protest against the hike in fuel prices.

KPCC President DK Shivakumar was also seen riding a bicycle along with other members of the Congress party to Minsk Square where the party staged the protest.

During the protest, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar along with party leaders carried a bike on their shoulders.

"We are carrying out our duty today. At the time of the UPA government's rule, when there was any hike in fuel prices, several BJP leaders had made bold statements. It is ironic that today, at the time of this COVID-19 pandemic, even despite the price of barrels falling, they have increased fuel prices," said Shivakumar.

"In Delhi, diesel prices have exceeded petrol prices. We must protest against this. The DCP can file whatever case he wants to. Despite several cases against us, we have never been shaken up. They are inconveniencing people and causing the people to burn in hell. These people must be protected," he added.

With the hike in fuel prices, the petrol prices stand at Rs 83.04/litre (increase by Rs 0.05), and the diesel prices stand at Rs 76.58/litre (increase by Rs 0.13) in Bengaluru, according to a price notification of state oil marketing companies.

The Congress has termed the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel as "unjust" and "thoughtless", and urged the Central government to roll back the increase with immediate effect and pass on the benefit of low oil prices directly to the people.
