Stand up and speak up for a change

Standing up and speaking out can be difficult, especially when it feels like the odds are against you or you're in the minority. However, it's important to remember that your voice and perspective are valuable and can make a difference in creating positive change.

  •  Know your facts: It's important to be informed about the issue you're speaking out about. This will help you present a strong, well-informed argument and be able to answer questions or address concerns.
  • Find allies: It can be intimidating to speak out on your own, especially if you're in the minority. Look for others who share your beliefs and values and work together to amplify your voices.
  • Use your platforms: If you have a social media following or a platform through your job or community, use it to speak out about the issues that matter to you. Sharing information and resources can help educate and mobilize others.
  • Take action: Don't just talk about the issue, do something about it. This could mean writing letters, signing petitions, attending protests or events, or volunteering your time.
  • Stay resilient: It's important to remember that change doesn't happen overnight and it's okay to take breaks and take care of yourself. Keep at it and don't give up, even when it feels like no one is listening.

Standing up and speaking out can be intimidating, but it's a crucial way to create positive change and make your voice heard. Remember to stay informed, find allies, use your platforms, take action, and stay resilient.

পশ্চিমবঙ্গ - মোবাইল চুরি এবং ছিনতাই এখন একটি সাধারণ ঘটনা হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। প্রতিদিনই কোথাও না কোথাও এই ধরনের অপরাধ ঘটছে, কিন্তু পুলিশের পক্ষ থেকে প্রতিরোধের কোনো কার্যকরী ব্যবস্থা নেওয়া হচ্ছে না। অপরাধীরা নির্ভয়ে তাদের কার্যক্রম চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে, কারণ তারা জানে যে তাদের আটকাতে পুলিশ প্রায়ই ব্যর্থ। কিছু ক্ষেত্রে পুলিশের সক্রিয়তা দেখা যায়, কিন্তু অধিকাংশ সময়ই তা শুধুমাত্র  পিআর এর জন্য।  "নিউজ এটাচমেন্ট সোর্স - আনন্দবাজার পক্রিকা" রাজ্যের বিভিন্ন স্থানে এই ধরনের র‍্যাকেটগুলো গড়ে উঠেছে, এবং এগুলো কার্যক্রম চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে নির্ভয়ে। সাধারণ মানুষ ভয়ে ভয়ে রয়েছে, আর অপরাধীরা তাদের কাজ চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে। দুর্নীতি, অযোগ্যতা, এবং নিষ্ক্রিয়তা মিলিয়ে পরিস্থিতি দিন দিন খারাপ হচ্ছে। পুলিশের কার্যক্রমের ওপর নির্ভরশীলতা কমে যাচ্ছে এবং বাস্তবতা উপলব্ধি করতে হলে সাধারণ মানুষকেই প্রথম পদক্ষেপ নিতে হবে। মোবাইল ফোন চুরি বা ছিনতাইয়ের ক্ষেত্রে, বেশিরভাগ সময় পুলিশ সাধারণ ডায়েরি (জিডি) এন্ট্রি করিয়ে দেয়, যাতে ঘটনাটিকে মিসিং বা হারিয়ে যাওয়া বলে উল্লেখ করা হয়। এতে পুলিশের এলাকার ক্রাইম রে...

The Digital Age: How Vulnerable Are We to Cybercrime?

In recent years, India has seen a significant increase in cybercrime activities due to the rapid growth of internet penetration. With the launch of Reliance Jio in 2016, the cost of mobile internet plummeted, making it more accessible to the masses. While this has led to a surge in the number of smartphone users, it has also resulted in a rise in hacking incidents. Before Jio's launch, mobile internet charges were quite high, with 1GB 2G data costing Rs.98/-* and 1GB 3G data pack costing Rs.155/-*. However, in 2023, 1GB 4G data now costs just Rs.2/-*. This has made smartphones and internet usage more affordable for everyone, but unfortunately, many users lack basic knowledge about the good and bad effects of the internet and how to stay safe online. While some efforts have been made to raise awareness about cybercrime in India, they have not been effective enough. Schools and public awareness campaigns are organized only once or twice a year in certain areas, and legal authorit...
