every-country-has-stupid-people-marco-rubio-on-racism-against-indians-in-us-says-immigration-changes-not-targetted-at-india

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that stupid people exist in every country on Sunday when he responded to questions over recent racism against Indians by some Americans. Rubio was responding to questions at a joint press conference with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in New Delhi. He said that while such concerns must be taken seriously, the offensive comments did reflect broader American society. Im sure that there are people that have made comments online and other places, because every country in the world has stupid people. Im sure there are stupid people here; there are stupid people in the United States, that make dumb comments all the time, Rubio said. Rubio also highlighted contributions made by Immigrants in the US, including the Indian diaspora. The United States is a very welcoming country, he said, adding that America had been strengthened by people from around the world who became part of the country and contributed to its growth. Our nation has been enriched by people who come to our country, have come from our country, from all over the world, have become Americans, have assimilated into our way of life, and its contributing, he said. Acknowledging the economic role of the Indian community in the US, Rubio said, I accept what you just said about the contribution that Indians have made in the US economy, over USD 20 billion. We want that number to continue to increase. Rubio and Jaishankar were engaged in delegation-level talks at Hyderabad House in New Delhi amid the ongoing diplomatic talks between the US and India. The discussion was focused on strengthening the partnership between the countries. Rubio also responded to questions regarding the recent visa and immigration changes, saying. The changes that are happening now, or the modernisation of our migration system into the United States, are not India-specific. It is global, its being applied across the world, he said. He said that the US had a migration crisis with more than 20 million people entering the country illegally. It is not a system that is targeted at India. We think ultimately our destination is going to be a better system, he said.

BJP rejected by people for 60 months, they should digest it: Satish Sharma

Srinagar, May 23: Minister for Youth Service and Sports, Satish Sharma, on Saturday said that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was in New Delhi on a mission and expressed hope that he would return with something positive for Jammu and Kashmir. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a Special National Integration Camp (SNIC) at Badami Bagh Cantonment, Sharma said CM Omar was holding meetings in New Delhi. The CM is in New Delhi on a mission. He is meeting people there, and we are expecting that he will return with something good, Sharma said. On the BJPs criticism that the CM was missing on the ground, Sharma said the party had been rejected by the people of J&K for the next five years and should accept the mandate. The BJP is in opposition for the sake of opposition. The fact is that they have been rejected by the people of J&K for 60 months. The feeling of rejection is hard to digest, but they have to play a constructive role as opposition, he said. The minister said political parties should rise above political differences and work collectively for the welfare and development of J&K. We should rise above party politics and give our efforts to make J&K beautiful and prosperous. I wont go by what they (BJP) say about the CM, he said. Sharma highlighted the role of youth and sports in social transformation, saying that sports activities were being expanded across J&K to keep youngsters away from drug abuse. Sports is the only way to keep youth away from drugs. I will not discuss what we have done during the last months, but we all should play a positive role to channelise the energy of our youth, he said. Sharma said that the government was planning to host major sporting events in J&K. The minister said J&K had already hosted water sports events and downhill mountain biking competitions in Gulmarg. We will hold similar sporting events in Sonamarg as well, he said. Sharma said efforts were underway to host Commonwealth-level Kho-Kho events in the region. We have called sports ministers here for four days. J&K will prosper, he said. Sharma also underlined the importance of unity and diversity, saying National Cadets and Corps (NCC) cadets represented the spirit of the country. Our NCC cadets do not believe in caste, creed, and colour. Diversity is our strength and NCC cadets are our ambassadors, he said. Referring to the tourism sector, Sharma said tourist arrivals in J&K had increased despite challenges faced in the past. People from many states are coming here in large numbers. One year ago, we had an apprehension that our enemy had harmed us, but our people are strong, and the tourists from all the states are coming to Kashmir, he said. Sharma said that he would serve the people of J&K as their true representative. I am the son of a soldier, and I say it with pride, he said. We will explore options to promote tourism in hilly areas, including Chenab Valley, Kathua, and other places. There are wonderful things waiting for our J&K.

1.2 billion people suffer mental disorder worldwide

New Delhi, May 22: About 1.2 billion people worldwide had mental disorders, reflecting a 95.5% increase since 1990, a new study has found. Most mental disorders were more common in females The largest increases were in anxiety and depression, which were also the most common disorders . The other mental disorders measured were bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anorexia, bulimia, dysthymia, conduct disorder and developmental intellectual disability from unknown causes. The study, published yesterday in the journal The Lancet, also revealed how trends concerning 12 mental disorders differed by age, sex, location and sociodemographic factors among 204 countries and territories suggesting that we are entering an even more concerning phase of worsening mental disorder burden globally, the authors wrote in the study. Dysthymia is a long-term but mild form of depression also known as persistent depressive disorder. Conduct disorder affects children and teens and involves a consistent pattern of disobedient and aggressive behaviors. The researchers found increases in all 12 disorders, including an 158% rise in anxiety and an 131% uptick in depression compared with 1990. The least common disorders were anorexia, bulimia and schizophrenia though those conditions arent rare, with roughly 4 million, 14 million and 26 million cases, respectively, in 2023. Most mental disorders were more common in females, but autism, conduct disorders, ADHD, personality disorders and inexplicable intellectual disability were actually more common in males. The study also helps further illuminate how the Covid-19 pandemic may have influenced the rates of certain mental health conditions. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, rates of anxiety, depression and some other disorders were already increasing. But during and since the crisis, depression increased and hasnt returned to pre-pandemic rates. Anxiety peaked and remained high through 2023, the research team found. The study, published Thursday in the journal The Lancet, also revealed how trends concerning 12 mental disorders differed by age, sex, location and sociodemographic factors among 204 countries and territories suggesting that we are entering an even more concerning phase of worsening mental disorder burden globally, the authors wrote in the study.
