The Internet is flooded with tons of information, where you will face a lot of confusion about what to read and what to refer to. Good sources are not just about the type and origin of information, but also the relevance and how you want to use it. Is the information good enough to be used in the current situation? If you feel you are in this situation, this is the right place.  Our article on the Science vs Social Science debate As a researcher, finding appropriate sources and facts remains the most challenging aspect of it. Compared to a normal opinion article or blog, which can use a lot of assumptions, half-truths, and narratives, etc. But when it comes to research articles, papers, journal articles, book chapters, etc., you cannot use the same information that the common man uses. This is where the filter should be bigger, better, and multilayered. Academic sources come with a guarantee, i.e., which you can trust 99%.

European Refugee Crisis- A Podcast

-

Greetings to all listeners!!

Human Rights have been the hot topic of the previous decade. It will continue to be a hot topic as we go ahead. But the main reason Human Rights came into the mainstream discussion was Refugee Crisis. It is not a new concept, but found relevance in the last decade due to a series of events starting from the Syrian Civil War in 2011, then war against terror in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, parts of Africa etc. Although the debate of Refugee crisis grabbed global attention only after it reached Europe.

The first massive refugee crisis was soon after World War, after the massive destruction it created throughout Europe. That was when the 1951 Refugee Convention came into effect, later there was the 1967 Geneva Protocol. Now, we have seen another refugee crisis in Europe were refugees from the Middle East, Afghanistan, Africa etc came to the doorstep of Europe knocking the doors of the EU.

Today we are decoding the events leading to that, how Europe reacted, it's handling, consequences the present status and the future. Unlike previous podcasts, we will be following it in the form of Q&A. Most of the people are not so much aware of these topics. Even if people know about it, they have only partial knowledge of it. Our aim is not to give you news or events. We analyse them and provide you in a capsule format so as to enable you to understand the topic.

On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote. Mamdani was leading in the first round before the transfer of votes. He defeated the long-time veteran of New York Politics, Andrew Cuomo, 56-44 in the second round. Hence, now Mamdani will head towards the final New York Mayoral election in November.  This article is not about him, his ideology or whether that will help New York City; rather, it is about how he managed to win the election and what both parties of the USA, as well as any political enthusiast, can learn from that.  Founded by the Dutch in 1624, New York City is the largest city in the USA and is the heart of Wall Street, the symbol of free market capitalism...
