Women Safety and Self-defence Techniques

Introduction

The violence against the women has been increasing in India due to many factors. It is predominantly due to the over-exposure to porn in the cyber world and over-depiction of woman’s body in the movies. On account of the commodification of women and the hero-dependent women characters in the movies, the youngsters have come to believe that they can play with women as they are generally perceived to be weak. This has emboldened the boys to attack women in public place. Hence, the members of fairer sex should be extra vigilant about this thing and remain equipped to tame the situation to their advantage. In this blog, we will depict how a woman can safeguard herself when nobody comes forward to save their dignity.

Women Harassment in Public

We have seen in numerous cases the insensitive nature of the public when they witness the harassing of women by miscreants or antisocial elements. These social-inimical forces consider women as the object of sex. That is the reason they make advances when they see a woman walking alone in the empty by-lanes. In North India, the public molestation happens even in daylight and before a large public. So, do not expect any help from the people who are around. Everybody thinks about his or her own safety first. Only good Samaritans come forward with the help courageously. But such creatures have become rarer in the present world. Hence, women should practice some exercises for their own safety. If the situation warrants their action, they can easily use them to weaken the opponent in a fraction of a second.

Self Defense Classes

Women can undergo training in some of the martial arts classes at nearby places and equip them against such surprising attacks by these antisocial elements. Due to the efforts put in by the state governments, there are free martial arts classes for women and girls in their locality. They just need to inquire about that with the local authorities.  Others who don’t have access to such facilities can learn from the following images to defend themselves.

Tale of China Freight Train Going to England

Introduction

The People's Public of China has sent its first freight train from Beijing to London. The journey commenced at commenced at Yiwu West railway station in Zhejiang province in China. The Chinese government wanted to reopen the old silk route to help the freight movement across the continents. It wanted to develop this rail route as the sustainable mode of transport of goods to different parts of the world. In this article, we will look into the specifics and the reason of starting this business by the Chinese government.

China Railway Express

In an effort to rekindle the hopes of reviving old silk route that used to transport the goods to European countries, the Chinese government has begun a freight train service from Beijing to London. The journey of the train commenced from the Yiwu West railway station in Zhejiang province in China. The train will complete the journey in the course of 18 days. This is the first direct train link that traverses through different countries in Asia and Europe before terminating in the capital city of Britain. This train carries household goods, suitcases, bags, garments and other things to the London city. It will pass through the countries such as Russia, Germany, Belarus, Poland, France and Belgium before halting at London railway station for offloading the freight there.

Genesis of China Railway Express

This project is part of Chinese President XI Jinping's vision for "One Belt-One Road". Drawing inspiration from the older silk route concept that fuelled the Chinese growth, the state government has designed it as a driving force to boost the country's export in a cost-effective way. Hence, many consider it as the new silk route of the modern times. The authorities are executing the Chinese freight train project to improve the country's economic ties with different countries in Asia, Middle-east, and Europe. The new route unravels a new option for the exporters and importers to carry their goods across the world. At present, the freight movement is either through cheaper and slower sea route or faster and costlier air route.

Old Silk Route

The old silk route commenced in 200 BC. It was majorly used by Chinese traders to various silk products to ancient countries of Europe and Africa. The Chinese caravans used to take the wears to different countries across the continents to fuel the ancient country's economy. This trail in fact provided enormous wealth and prestige to the ancient Chinese Empire. Since then, this silk route became the symbol of Chinese prosperity and might.

Kerala Hackers’ Tit-for-Tat Response for Hacking of Indian Site

Introduction

A few days back, a group of Pakistani hackers had trespassed into the server hosting official websites of major Indian airports, including those at Trivandrum and Cochin, and defaced the sites with bad comments. The defaced sites had even threats for the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a tit for tat response, a group of Malayalee hackers went past the firewall of Pakistani International Airport and posted similar comments about that country and its rulers. In this blog post, we will look into the interesting befitting response to the hacking by people from the hostile and neighboring country.

Hacking by Pakistan

A group of Pakistani cyber criminals hacked into the server hosting the websites of important Indian Airports and defaced them with some bad comments. The affected sites include those of Trivandrum and Cochin International Airports. Fortunately, the authorities were able to restore affected websites within hours of the reported attack. Though it is not for the first time Indian websites have come under the attack of Pakistani cyber criminals, it poses the larger threat to the national security. If this situation continues, the data on our critical assets would be leaked to the foreign hostile country. Sensing the backlash on the kind of preparedness by the national aviation agency, it has claimed that the affected website was actually developed by some regular passengers. It also claimed that the affected ones are not the official websites. The Director of Trivandrum International Airport George G. Tharakan has in fact claimed that a private agency is responsible for hacked website. He further added that the official details of Airports in India are posted on the website maintained by Airport Authority of India.

Tit-for-Tat Response

Instead of settling things there, the tech-geeks from Kerala attacked Pakistani airport website and posted similar bad comments and placed the troll images on it. Through this hacking exercise, the Indian hackers have given the strong message to the Pakistanis “Do not touch Indian website, you script kiddies of Pakistan”.  The Kerala hackers have proudly assembled under the banner Mallu Cyber Soldiers. The patriotic cyber soldiers have claimed that they have pasted the message loud and clear on the hacked site to convey the cyber miscreants from the hostile neighboring country. This attacks and counter attacks by hackers have happened in the past as well. Every time when the Pakistani cyber criminals manage to hack Indian websites, the Indian hackers have managed to inflict considerable amount of damage on Pakistani websites.

These responses were meant to tell the inimical country to desist from doing the business of hacking Indian websites. However, authorities concerned should take adequate steps to further firewall such attempts in the future to protect our vital defense data.
