The “Paradox of Tolerance” allows for the idea that absolute tolerance may become a threat to tolerance itself. The paradox has a new twist in the digital age. With online interfaces, freedom of speech and transfer of diverse viewpoints can be provided, but it also increases negative content, such as:
Hate speech: The Internet may facilitate hate speech, incitement to violence, and other types of discrimination against minority groups.
-Disinformation and misinformation: False or misleading information can quickly gather enough momentum to challenge the validity of institutions and lead to social unrest.
-Extremism and radicalization:Online environments can nurture extremist ideologies and convert people to become violent extremists.
Balancing Tolerance and Protection:
1. Content Moderation:
-Have Clear Terms of Service: The companies must have clear and unmistakable terms of service that ban hate speech, harassment, and the creation of false information to be spread to others.
-Human Moderation- Use human moderators in conjunction with AI algorithm to moderate and delete harmful content.
-Transparency &Accountability. Speak out what the policies on the moderation of content are for each platform and be able to appeal for the deletion of users’ contents.
2. Media Literacy
Training the users in critical thinking, media literacy, and information searching and analysis skills on the Internet.
Development of Critical Thinking Skills: Embed media literacy into the school curricula so that the students understand the digital sphere and think critically before accepting and acting upon information.
3. Civil Discourse Support
-Facilitating Fact-Checking: Provide resources and funding to independent fact-checking services to limit the spread of disinformation
-Encourage Diverse Views: Assist companies in their efforts toward the promotion of diverse views and engagements of respectful nature between users whose views may differ with them.
4. Legal and Regulatory Structure:
Legislative: Legislation related to the proliferation of hate speech, misinformation, and manipulations with online platforms.
-Regulatory: Think about ways the regulations call the platforms into account for content they allow on the internet and what that has in store for society as a whole.
5. International Cooperation
-International Cooperation: Carry out international cooperation to address international issues on global matters of online extremism, disinformation, and information manipulation.

Hepatitis B and C Risk Factors
Bloodborne
-Sharing needles or syringes to inject drugs or for tattoos.
-Receiving blood without screening (Though rare these days, thanks to the improvements of screening)
-Dirty medical equipment while receiving a treatment
Very rare as seen in other regions.
Mother-to-Child: The newborn can receive it from a pregnant mother during childbirth if the mother has hepatitis B.
Sexual Transmission:
Unprotected sexual contact with an infected person.
Having multiple sexual partners.
Occupational Exposure:
Healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and lab technicians, who handle blood or other bodily fluids.
Factors Contributing to Challenges in Reducing Transmission:
-Lack of awareness and education: Most individuals do not have information on hepatitis B and C risks and the modes of their transmission.
-Discrimination and Stigma: Most infections lead to stigma that might prevent individuals from going for tests and treatment.
Limited access to health care: Most individuals lack quality health care, including tests, vaccination, and treatment of hepatitis.
-Poverty and Socioeconomic Factors: Poverty and socioeconomic inequalities increase the risk factors of hepatitis B and C, including unsafe injection practices and limited access to health care.
-Inadequate Infrastructure: In some areas, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, including limited access to sterile equipment and trained healthcare workers, can contribute to the spread of these infections.
Addressing these challenges requires a multi-pronged approach, including:
-Public Health Campaigns: Public education on hepatitis B and C, their transmission, and prevention and treatment.
Vaccination Programs: Wider access to hepatitis B immunization, especially among infants and other high-risk groups.
Healthcare Access Increased: Improved access to quality health care, including diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B and C infection.
Socioeconomic Disparity Reduction: Poverty elimination and increasing education and access to and use of health care by deprived populations.
-Harm reduction activities. Such activities may include needle exchange and syringe programmes for injecting drug users, thus reducing infections.
See less-Stigma reduction. Promote stigma reduction campaigns that call upon people to come for testing and treatment without the fear of stigmatization.

Balancing openness and privacy in government activities is a delicate balance. Some methods of thread this fine line are:
1. well-defined legal frameworks and rules:
Clear classification systems for knowledge with categories of public, sensitive, and classified data can be devised.
Data protection laws: Have harmonious data protection legislation that clearly details data collection, application, and disclosure procedures. Such laws also need to include provisions for national security and law enforcement.
Exceptions in RTI Acts regarding national security aside, such Acts should still strive towards openness and accountability by ensuring that public access to information from the government is not an elusive dream.
Institutional tools
Establish independent oversight bodies to go over requests for classified information and make sure confidentiality rules are observed;
Implement within government departments internal review systems to see that data is rightly grouped and access is limited to authorized personnel.
Whistleblower Defense: Offer robust protections to whistleblowers who report abuses of classified data or confidentiality breaches.
technological safeguards shall beleverluant
Data Encryption: Protect important information from unauthorized access using strong encryption methods.
Secure Information Exchange Platforms: Ensure that secure communication tools and channels are used by authorized staff to share sensitive material.
Related to planned security audits, do them systematically to identify and solve any possible breach of information systems.
4. Public Communication and Learning:
Proactively be in the knowledge of the public but respect legitimate confidentiality concerns.
Public education is implemented to let the public aware of the crucial importance of national security and for the times when secrecy must be observed.
Construct Public Reliance.
Demonstrate responsibility and openness to the greatest possible extent to create confidence among the government departments.
Continuous Review and Adaptation: Thank you.
Regularly check rules and procedures on advances in threats and technologies.

The DBT scheme which launched by the Government of India during 2013 functions to decrease payment leakages through its removal of intermediaries while providing efficient bank-based disbursement of subsidies and welfare benefits to beneficiaries. The implementation of this scheme has produced important improvements regarding subsidy distribution transparency as well as increased accountability and enhanced operational efficiency.
1. Reduction in Leakages and Corruption
The DBT system eliminated siphoning and ghost beneficiary cases by making transfers bank-account linked through Aadhaar authentication. PM-KISAN and PAHAL LPG and PM-KISAN schemes together with PAHAL LPG program now make direct cash transfers that deliver funds directly to targeted beneficiaries.
2. Efficiencies and Financial Inclusion
Through DBT technology the government provides prompt payments in MGNREGA and PM Jan Dhan Yojana and National Scholarship Portal programs. Years after implementation DBT enabled the Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile trinity system which granted banking access to millions of people.
3. Fiscal Saving and Better Targeting
The federal government has achieved ₹2.73 lakh crore (2022 data) in fiscal savings through DBT that removed ineligible recipients and duplicate beneficiaries. Through enhanced identifying methods government programs now distribute benefits to appropriate individuals without waste of resources.
Problems and The Way Forward
The system continues to experience technological problems together with Aadhaar disqualification and digital interface issues while requiring stronger programs to address user complaints across the network.
DBT has brought revolutionary changes to subsidy distribution by reducing leakage and enhancing operational efficiency while universal access needs additional improvements for smooth use.

With far reaching and long term effects on the deindustrialization of the subcontinent, this has been the working role of British economic policies in India.
Major Policies Leading to Deindustrialization
Bias Toward British Commodities:
-British manufactured commodities were supported by Free Trade Policies of the British East India Company and the Crown. Indian industries, and in particular the textile, were most poorly and even inadequately protected from cheaper imported British commodities flooding into the Indian market.
Indian products were less competitive in global markets since they were high tariffed as they entered the British market.
-Exportation of raw materials:
To this end, India was developed into an industrial supplying nation of raw materials for industrial production in Britain, since it was the source of such raw materials as cotton, indigo, jute, etc. India as a home to manufacture was discouraged by these raw material productivities.
-Destruction of Traditional Industries:
Through their direct and indirect policies, British destroyed traditional Indian industries – textiles, handicrafts and shipbuilding in the east. This included:
Undercutting of Indian markets by cheaper British goods: This is what has been discussed above.
The British disrupted traditional supply chains – cast iron instead of glass, lead and steel replaced precious metals like silver and gold, artisans and craftsmen’s livelihoods were disrupted.
-There was absolutely no help or support from the British for the growth of Indian industries.
-Long-Term Implications:
Deindustrialization was extremely associated with India’s economic backwardness post independence. As a result, the economy failed because of a lack a strong industrial base which impeded growth and development.
-High dependence on Agriculture: Large part of the population was dependent on agriculture, so that the economy was vulnerable to droughts and other shocks of the agriculture.
Deindustrialization had some social and political consequences. Social unrest was produced and served as a fire for the nationalist movement against the British rule.
