Why single out Hindi while accepting English & Urdu, asks AP Dy CM Pawan Kalyan
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan questioned adopting double standards towards Hindi while accepting English, Urdu, and Persian. On Friday, he addressed as the chief guest at a national meet 'Dakshin Samvad' organized under the aegis of the Department of Official Languages marking the Golden Jubilee Celebrations, attended by Union Minister for Coal and Mines, G Kishan Reddy, and Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, senior offials of the DOL, and scholars of Hindi language from the Southern States. The AP Deputy Chief Minister has said that blind opposition to Hindi is not rational. He pointed out, 'We learn German, Japanese, and other foreign languages for employment opportunities. Similarly, we seize opportunities in the Information Technology sector by learning English. Particularly in times when language is no longer a barrier to education, employment, or business, blind opposition to Hindi could hinder the progress of future generations.' He questioned, 'When we can speak English comfortably, why do we hesitate and fear speaking Hindi?' Taking another dig at the opposition to Hindi raised in certain quarters of South India, he noted that 31 percent of South Indian movies are being dubbed into Hindi, which generates significant revenue. 'People want Hindi for business and to gain popularity on social media, but politics arises when it comes to learning the language.' He recalled that the former President of India, Abdul Kalam, was a Tamil but had a great appreciation for Hindi. He emphasized that language should unite people rather than create divisions. 'The world is working to create divisions, while we are trying to find a language that brings everyone together.' Union Minister G Kishan Reddy said that under the leadership of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a golden period is going on for Indian languages. In the last decade, the National Department has done various works to increase the activity of other Indian languages including Hindi.

FreeDish and the changing dynamics of Indian television
By Hiren Gada In the Indian broadcast landscape, some trends are temporary, and others mark a structural shift. The resurgence of Free-to-Air ( FTA ) television belongs firmly to the latter. It has steadily emerged as a scalable and sustainable force in India's television ecosystem. And at the forefront of this transformation is DD Free Dish —India's largest TV platform, surpassing both pay DTH and cable operators in reach. Its estimated reach of 50-60 million households, mostly across Hindi speaking markets, is only part of the story. When one accounts for shared screens in small town paan shops, tea stalls, and common rooms in semi-urban belts, that number edges even higher. What sets it apart is the combination of zero monthly cost and a steady flow of easily accessible content, factors that resonate deeply with low to middle-income audiences navigating an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Though often considered as a rural-first platform, Free Dish's footprint tells a more layered story. It covers over 41% of rural homes and has carved out 15% penetration in urban Hindi-speaking markets. It is now delivering scale across both segments. What once sat on the periphery of premium advertising plans is now pulling gravity toward itself—offering scale that was previously reserved for high-cost pay TV Entertainment channels. For advertisers focused on scale rather than platform loyalty, these numbers are hard to ignore—because wherever viewers are, advertisers will follow. The shift is subtle but significant. The math has changed. With Free Dish offering access to massive rural audiences, without subscription friction, advertisers are getting broader GRP coverage at significantly lower costs. What used to take big-budget buys on premium entertainment channels is now being achieved through FTA channels , with GRP volumes that are surprisingly competitive. This has shifted how media planners structure buys. Suddenly, cheaper GRPs are no longer confined to narrow geographies or low-engagement formats. They are entering mainstream consideration. The re-entry of the leading broadcast players like JioStar, Zee, and Sony on Free Dish marks a crucial pivot in this story. Their renewed participation signals not just Free Dish's undeniable reach, but the recalibrated economics of the Indian television industry. With the subscription-based ecosystem nearing saturation, Free Dish presents access to a vast and consistent viewer base largely untouched by pay TV. There's a growing realization that GRP led monetization on Free Dish can match, and in some cases exceed, returns from subscription models—especially when the cost-to-scale ratio is factored in. It's worth noting that this isn't the first time the big players have returned to Free Dish. When they exited in 2022, the FTA space didn't wither—it diversified. New entrants filled the vacuum, bringing in fresh content across genres, many building strong audience connections. Smaller players gained traction, audiences adapted, and by the time these legacy players came back, the ecosystem had already evolved. Their return in 2025 didn't expand the pie; it redistributed it. Advertisers too didn't rush in with open budgets. Inventory absorption remained steady, suggesting a new normal rather than a flashy recovery, Meanwhile, the nature of competition is also shifting. As premium content finds a home on Free Dish, the traditional boundaries between pay and free platforms are dissolving. The idea that exclusivity drives value is being challenged by a more grounded truth: access, timing, and emotional relevance matter more. For the ecosystem at large, this is a moment to reflect. What we're seeing isn't a small programming shuffle. It's a fundamental reordering of broadcast economics , where value is being measured differently. Across the broader industry, pressure points are beginning to emerge. Pay TV networks are starting to face existential questions—hold on to premium positioning or chase volume where it currently exists. As more advertisers lean toward building FTA heavy plans to maximize reach across India, the demand curve for high-cost GRPs starts to soften. In chasing broader reach through low-cost inventory, some broadcasters may have inadvertently pushed TV pricing into a downcycle—where the entire ecosystem could feel the strain. Looking ahead, the roadmap isn't linear. The distinction between Pay TV Entertainment channels and FTA TV channels will continue to blur, and broadcasters must hedge across both. For us at Shemaroo Entertainment , this has meant beyond Free Dish, strengthening distribution partnerships with players like Dish TV, Siti, GTPL, and ICNCL, while evolving content curation to match the hybrid consumption patterns emerging across households. It's not about forcing the audience to stay loyal to a platform, it's about staying loyal to their preferences, no matter where they watch. FTA television is no longer an afterthought—it's a deliberate choice. The rules are changing fast. Channels that cling to legacy assumptions may find themselves outpaced. Those that adapt, diversify, and respect the audience's evolving preferences will not only stay relevant—they'll help redefine what television in India can look like over the next decade.

US Visa to add $250 Integrity Fee: What it is, who all it will impact and what will be the cost of the total US visa after this
The United States is reportedly introducing a new $250 "Visa Integrity Fee" applicable to almost all non-immigrant Visa categories. The move is expected to significantly increase the cost of travel and work for Indian nationals, and potentially impact technology companies reliant on H-1B visas. The new fee, part of the recently signed Omnibus Act (dubbed "Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill"), took effect on July 4th, with broad implications for tourists, students, and professionals. The "Visa Integrity Fee" is said to be designed as a security deposit and is refundable under specific conditions, primarily if Visa holders depart the US within five days of their Visa expiration without seeking an extension or change in status. The fee is also subject to annual adjustments for inflation. Exemptions apply only to diplomatic visa categories (A and G). How much will be the total US Visa fee including $250 Integrity Fee For Indian nationals, the new levy is projected to raise the average tourist visa fee by 2.5 times, pushing it to approximately Rs 40,000 ($472) starting in 2026. This revised cost incorporates the new $250 Integrity Fee, a $24 I-94 fee, and a $13 ESTA fee, according to a report in Economic Times, quoting the US-based immigration services firm Fragomen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Get ₹2Cr life cover@ ₹700 p.m. ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo The technology sector, both in India and the US, which heavily utilizes work visas to bring engineering talent to the United States, is likely to be particularly impacted by the increase in the US Visa fee. Experts advise aspiring applicants to factor in the increased working capital costs associated with the revised visa processing. He also recommended scheduling visa appointments before 2026 to avoid the new levy. Explained: What does the US 'Visa Integrity Fee' mean for you The newly introduced $250 US 'Visa Integrity Fee' is essentially a security deposit that most non-immigrant visa applicants will now have to pay in addition to their regular visa application fees. This includes individuals applying for tourist, business, student, work, and exchange visas. The stated purpose of this fee is to encourage compliance with visa terms and conditions. While the fee is refundable, it requires the visa holder to depart the US within five days of their visa expiring without seeking extensions or changes to their status. For short-term visitors like tourists, this might be straightforward. However, for students or professionals on multi-year visas, their money could be held by the US government for a significant duration, impacting their financial planning. The US visa fee is also set to increase annually with inflation. This measure is expected to make US visas considerably more expensive, particularly for Indian nationals, potentially influencing decisions to travel, study, or work in the United States.
