'''Ajit Laxman Wadekar''' ({{audio|Ajit_Wadekar.ogg|pronunciation}}; 1 April 1941 – 15 August 2018) was an Indian international [[cricket]]er who played for the [[Indian cricket team|Indian national team]] between 1966 and 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24383246/former-india-captain-ajit-wadekar-dies-aged-77 |title=Former India captain Ajit Wadekar dies aged 77 |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=15 August 2018}}</ref> Described as an "aggressive batsman", Wadekar made his first-class debut in 1958, before making his foray into international cricket in 1966. He batted at number three and was considered to be one of the finest slip fielders. Wadekar also captained the Indian cricket team which won series in the West Indies and England in 1971 (first victory of Indian team in test cricket outside of India was recorded in 1968 under the captaincy of [[Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi]] against New Zealand). The [[Government of India]] honoured him with the [[Arjuna Award]] (1967) and [[Padmashri]] (1972), India's fourth highest civilian honour. In 2011, he received the [[C. K.

==Career==
{{More citations needed section|date=September 2022}}

===Introduction to cricket===
He made his first-class debut for [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] in 1958–59, before making his international debut in [[Test cricket|Test]] in December 1966, against the [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] at the [[Brabourne Stadium]] in Bombay. After that he became a part of the regular team, and went on to play 37 Test matches for India between 1966 and 1974, generally batting at number three. He was also working in State Bank of India as part-time job as at that time there was not much money in cricket and so cricket was played for hobby, maintaining the pride of the nation rather than having a luxury life or as a profession. According to Wadekar at that time 2500 Rs were paid to the players for playing each test match.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Adnan |first=Minhaj |date=2021-04-14 |title=Indian cricketers played for pittance until 1980s; now they roll in money |url=https://www.siasat.com/indian-cricketers-played-for-pittance-until-1980s-now-they-roll-in-money-2124084/ |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=The Siasat Daily |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Captaincy and overseas wins===
Wadekar was appointed the captain of Bombay, and soon was made the [[Indian national cricket captains|captain of the Indian cricket team]] in 1971, leading a side that included players like [[Sunil Gavaskar]], [[Gundappa Viswanath]], [[Farokh Engineer]], Dilip Sardesai and the [[Indian spin quartet]] that included [[Bishen Bedi]], [[E.A.S. Prasanna]], [[Bhagwat Chandrasekhar]] and [[Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan]]. India won over five matches in the West Indies in the early 1970s, and then defeated England over three. He led India to a third successive series victory, beating [[England cricket team]] again, 2–1 in a five-match series in 1972–73.

Wadekar continued to be the captain of the Indian team that toured England in 1974. He represented India in its first ever [[One Day International]] (ODI) game during that tour. Batting at number three, Wadekar made 67 runs, but still ended on the losing side.<ref>{{cite web|title=Prudential Trophy – 1st ODI England v India|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64951.html|work=ESPNCricinfo|access-date=29 September 2012}}</ref> He scored 73 runs in his ODI career at an average of 36.50 with a strike rate of 81.11.<ref>{{cite web|title=Statistics / Statsguru / AL Wadekar / One-Day Internationals / Innings by innings list|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35933.html?class=2;template=results;type=batting;view=innings|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=29 September 2012}}</ref> Following India's dismal performance in the series, he retired from international cricket.<ref name=bcci/> After that tour Wadekar played just one more First-class match before retiring from all forms of cricket.

===Post retirement===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2022}}
Wadekar also served as the manager of the Indian cricket team in the 1990s, alongside captain [[Mohammad Azharuddin]]. He is one of the few Indians to represent the country as Test player, captain, coach/manager and the chairman of selectors. [[Lala Amarnath]] and [[Chandu Borde]] are the only other players to achieve this distinction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/84833.html |title=The many 'avatars' of Lala Amarnath |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=28 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/sports/1999/sep/28borde.htm |title=Borde Shares Wadekar's Distinction |work=Rediff.com |date=28 September 1999 |access-date=28 September 2012}}</ref>

Online journalism in India

2023-01-23T03:45:29Z

Bluee-eyed peasss: Created an insightful write-up.

{{Use Indian English}}
'''Online journalism in India''' is a growing field shared between [[traditional media]] and the growing [[blogging]] community. Large media companies, traditionally print and television focused, continue to dominate the journalism environment now online but a growing group of dedicated bloggers are providing an independent voice.

== Growth ==

Although Indian newspapers were using computers for writing and page layout as early as 1987 they were slow to move to online editions of their papers. By 1998 only forty-eight papers had online editions. By 2006, the count had climbed to 116. This despite the fact that in 2007 India had 42 million Internet users and was ranked fifth among online populations. The number of online news editions is seen as especially low because of the multitude of languages spoken in India. Of the 22 languages officially recognised, only 12 of the non-English languages were accounted for in a survey of online editions.<ref name="essay">{{cite web|title=Online Journalism in India: An exploratory study of Indian newspapers on the Net|url=http://mediasceneindia.blogspot.com/2009/11/online-journalism-in-india-exploratory.html}}</ref>

== Current environment ==

India’s internet penetration is low – only 3.7%. Also, most websites are only available in English, which skews the viewership to only 10% of the population that is concentrated in urban centers. Conversely, India ranks third in number of [[Twitter]] users.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wang|first=Zoe|title=Online Journalism and Election Reporting|url=http://www.slideshare.net/wangyuepeng/online-journalism-and-election-reporting-in-india|access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref>
LinkedIn offers a group that targets members that are online journalists in India with content, connections, and job opportunities unique to that segment. Popular discussions offer members an opportunity to share opportunities, discuss activities that affect the industry, and provide peer review for articles before publication on the internet.<ref>{{cite web|title=Online Journalists of India|url=http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Online-Journalists-India-63463|publisher=LinkedIn}}</ref>
With the emergence of high speed data and faster mobile data services such as 4G and LTE, videos from some of India’s best TV journalists have been made available online. Both NDTV and CNBC, two TV news reporting power houses in India, also have a strong online presence. The top five journalists in India all come from within the ranks of these stations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Top 5 Journalists of India|url=http://www.chillibreeze.com/articles/Topfivejournalists.asp|publisher=Chillibreeze|access-date=20 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121015090514/http://www.chillibreeze.com/articles/Topfivejournalists.asp|archive-date=15 October 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> Another emerging favorite platform for journalists is Twitter. Journalists from all walks – Business, Political, Sports, and Religion - have come together to form a list for ease of following the person or topic that one might find interesting.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Journalists|url=http://twitchimp.com/user/onlinejourno/indian-journalists/|publisher=TwitChimp|access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref>

== Traditional media companies ==

The internet in India was not available to private users until 1995. By 1998 there were only 48 daily newspapers that operated on the internet. By 2006 the number has steadily climbed to reach 116 newspapers and is predicted to grow as more people in India get access to the web. The first newspapers to adopt an online format were generally English speaking because they had more of a global audience. However, as more users gained access more Indian language papers began to surface. A lot of these new websites were generic versions of the daily paper and were not edited once published. They were operated by minimal staffs. In some instances a single editor would upload data to a third party pre-formatted interface which would allow stories to be published under general headings such as Local News, International, Sports, etc. A large majority of online newspapers in India don’t receive advertisement revenue for their web editions and, with the exception of the major papers, most websites are being operated at a loss. Most publications have been slow to incorporate modern web features such as video clips or imbedded audio. One of the biggest concerns is economic viability due to lack of ad revenue. Indian journalism sites have also been slow to adopt the modern practice of online purchasing. This means that when someone visits the website they are unable to order the paper directly or purchase products through advertisements.<ref name="essay" />

=== Criticism ===

Many online newspapers in India are criticised for being hastily thrown together with little care from publishers about content. A majority of websites lack simple features such as “about us” or feedback. While the major publishers like the Times Group will list email addresses of its writers and editors many of the small daily newspapers only have a simple imbedded box on their website for feedback. This makes it difficult for readers to communicate with newspaper staff.<ref name="essay" />

Online media with print products, such as OPEN magazine, have been instrumental in providing checks and balances on other forms of media. OPEN broke that Barkha Dutt, widely regarded as India’s top journalist, was involved with the Radia tapes controversy, which very little of the print media discussed. Radia, a lobbyist, was involved in corruption regarding the use and sale of 2G wireless spectrum. Her attempt to rehabilitate her reputation was hampered by the combative style she tried to do it with.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sharma|first=Betwa|title=India's Top Journalist Defends Herself on TV -- Did It Work?|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/betwa-sharma/indias-top-journalist-def_b_790379.html|publisher=Huffington Post|access-date=20 May 2013}}</ref>

=== Times of India group ===

The [[Times of India Group]] is the largest media conglomerate in India. Its flagship paper is the ''[[Times of India]]'' which is the largest English publication in the world by readership with just over 7.65 million daily readers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Readership Survey|url=http://mruc.net/images/irs2012q2-topline-findings.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131126051927/http://mruc.net/images/irs2012q2-topline-findings.pdf|archive-date=2013-11-26}}</ref> It is also the publisher of the largest business news paper in India, ''[[The Economic Times]]''. The Times of India opened their web portal in 1999 and in 2003 they published an electronic version of their newspaper.<ref>{{cite web|title=Times Group About Us|url=http://www.timesgroup.com/bccl/about-us.html|access-date=2013-05-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120920162246/http://timesgroup.com/bccl/about-us.html|archive-date=2012-09-20|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Some Indian journalists, such as luminary [[M J Akbar]], have made the leap into online journalism. Akbar has been working in journalism since he joined the Times of India in 1971 and currently heads the [[Sunday Guardian]] as the Editorial Director of [[India Today Group]] and [[Headlines Today]]. The Sunday Guardian is notable for having made a successful pivot from being a print only paper to one which includes online content in their media portfolios. Today, M J Akbar is just one example of a growing number of journalists who have embraced online media while maintaining a strong presence in the print media market.<ref>{{cite web|title=MJ Akbar Bio|url=http://www.mjakbar.org/mjbiography.htm|access-date=20 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724055141/http://www.mjakbar.org/mjbiography.htm|archive-date=24 July 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Dainik Jagran ===

Dainik Jagran has been India's most read newspaper for 23 consecutive years with a daily readership of over 16 million. It's the flagship publication of Jagran Prakashan Ltd (JPL), a large media conglomerate in India. JPL launched MMI online in 2008 to handle all of its digital offerings. Most notable is jagran.com which has recently aligned with yahoo.com to bring a large range of offerings to its visitors.<ref>{{cite web|title=JPL Group Home Page|url=http://jplcorp.in/JPLWeb/JPL_GroupProfile.aspx}}</ref> The website can see up to 50 updates in one day. In 2011, INEXT was re-launched along with the website inextlive.com. This website launched by Dinesh Shrinet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mxmindia.com/2012/01/inext-the-youth-centric-newspaper-launches-its-website/|title=Inext, the youth-centric newspaper launches its website}}</ref> INEXT is the first bilingual daily news published in India.

{{Distinguish|Baton round}}
[[Image:Polisattack.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A baton charge during the [[Protests during the EU summit in Gothenburg 2001|2001 EU summit protests]] in Sweden]]
A '''baton charge''' is a coordinated tactic for dispersing crowds of people, usually used by [[police]] or [[military]] in [[Riot control|response to public disorder]]. In South Asia, a long bamboo stick, called ''lathi'' in Hindi, is used for crowd control, and the expression '''lathi charge''' commonly employed to describe the action.

The tactic involves [[police officers]] charging at a crowd of people with [[Baton (law enforcement)|batons]] and in some cases, [[riot shield]]s. They run at the crowd hitting people with their batons, and in some situations use riot shields to push them away. Baton charging is designed to cause [[Pain compliance|pain]] or fear of pain, in the hope that they would be compelled to move away from the scene, dispersing the public who are crowded.

==South Asia ==
In [[South Asia]], notably [[India]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Pakistan]], and [[Sri Lanka]], a long bamboo stick, or staff, called ''[[lathi khela|lathi]]'' is used for crowd control. Some [[Law enforcement in India|Indian police forces]] use lathis around {{cvt|5|ft|order=flip}} long, but in other places lathis are shorter. The term '''lathi charge''' is used by the [[Media of India|Indian media]].<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Agitation-against-minors-death-police-lathicharge-protesters/articleshow/6222688.cms Police lathi charge protesters] [[Times of India]]-Retrieved 29 July 2010</ref>

Bluee-eyed peasss: Created an original article format.

{{Short description|British colonial official and army officer}}
{{Use dmy dates}}
'''Sir Gerald Kennedy Nicholas Trevaskis''', {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|KCMG|OBE}} (1 January 1915 – 14 March 1990) was a British colonial official and army officer. He served as [[High Commissioner of Aden]] from 1963 to 1965.<ref name="ODNB">Anthony d'Avray, 'Trevaskis, Sir (Gerald) Kennedy Nicholas (1915–1990)', ''[[Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]]'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/40506 accessed 1 Oct 2017]</ref><ref name="WWW">'TREVASKIS, Sir (Gerald) Kennedy (Nicholas)', ''[[Who Was Who]]'', A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2016; online edn, Oxford University Press, 2014; online edn, April 2014 [http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whowaswho/U169882 accessed 1 Oct 2017]</ref>

Trevaskis saw active service during the [[Second World War]] as a soldier and then officer in the [[Northern Rhodesia Regiment]]. In August 1940, he was captured by the Italian forces while serving in [[British Somaliland]], becoming a [[prisoner of war]] (POW). Having been released in 1941, he spent the rest of the war serving with the [[British Military Administration (Eritrea)|British Military Administration]] of [[Eritrea]].<ref name="ODNB" />

On 10 December 1963, Trevaskis [[High Commissioner attack|came under attack]] from the Yemeni [[National Liberation Front (South Yemen)|National Liberation Front]] (NLF).
