There are many popular renditions of the Indian national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' present on social media platforms. Recently, a soulful rendition of the anthem sung by a five-year-old Mizoram girl Esther Hnamte in uniform has earned praises on social media. The video of the girl even caught the attention of Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga and lakhs of netizens.
In the viral video, Esther could be seen donning the Army uniform and singing along with the 3 Assam Rifles in her hometown Lunglei. She held the Indian flag in her hand as she sang along with the soldiers. The nearly 2-minute video was uploaded on YouTube on August 13, two days before the country's 75th Independence Day and is said to be a tribute to all the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country.
It also featured several picturesque shots of the northeastern state and local musicians were also seen playing various musical instruments in the background. Esther even marched alongside the soldiers in the video.
The description of the video on YouTube read, "This music video 'National Anthem' has been made to celebrate India's 75th Independence Day. It is a tribute to all the fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives at the altar of freedom. We hope this video makes us realise the value of freedom we enjoy." It further continued, "May it encourage us to reconcile our petty differences and to rise up as one nation.
This Independence Day, let us bury once and for all, the concept of 'THEM' and 'US' and embrace 'WE' Above all let us celebrate our diversity in the true spirit of UNITY." Air Marshal Anil Chopra (Retired) also shared the video on his Twitter handle and wrote, "Indian Army heard the viral singing of National Anthem by a 5 yr old girl named Esther Hnmate from Mizoram. They traced her and with army band recorded the National Anthem. Results were simply mesmerising. See the girl in uniform too."
Esther had gone viral last year when she sang a contemporary version of the national song 'Vande Mataram' titled 'Maa Tujhe Salaam'. Back then, even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised the child on Twitter. The Prime Minister praised the girl's rendition and wrote, "Adorable and admirable! Proud of Esther Hnamte for this rendition," retweeting the Mizoram CM's tweet.
This is a very proud moment for our country India .
Nipah is synonymous with death, fear and isolation to this Keralite family.
As Kerala is once again reeling under Nipah scare, claiming the life of a 12-year-old boy recently, Muthalib recounted the tragedy that had befallen his family in 2018, saying the disease was equal to death, fear and social exclusion for them.
Nipah is synonymous with death, fear and isolation to this Keralite family
When the social media started buzzing that a deadly contagious disease had claimed the life of his 'ekkakka' (elder brother) three years ago, young Mohammed Muthalib felt agitated over the "fake news" about his family.
Because, never ever in his life had he heard about a disease called "Nipah".
By the time the 19-year-old college student learnt about its severity, the viral infection had robbed off four members of his family in a row pushing him and his mother Mariyumma into the depth of perennial sadness.
As Kerala is once again reeling under Nipah scare, claiming the life of a 12-year-old boy recently, Muthalib recounted the tragedy that had befallen his family in 2018, saying the disease was equal to death, fear and social exclusion for them.
"There were people who were scared to talk to us even a year after the deadly disease struck our family. I am not blaming anyone...We can understand the anxiety and stress they are undergoing," he told PTI.
A native of Sooppikkada, a nondescript village in northern Kozhikode district, Muthalib had lost his father, two elder brothers and paternal aunt within days after the virus infection had hit the southern state for the first time in 2018. One of his deceased brothers was Mohammed Sabith, the first Nipah victim in the state.
Though Sabith's death was not recognised as due to the infection initially, the sudden demise of Mohammed Salih, another youngster in the family, raised suspicion among the doctors and the expert examination of the samples had confirmed the prevalence of the viral infection in the state.
Mariam, their paternal aunt who attended to Salih while he was at the hospital, also succumbed to Nipah subsequently. Though doctors had given hope about their 60-year-old father Moosa Musalyar initially, his condition deteriorated later and gave in to it finally.
Another woman member also contracted the disease, but her life could be saved after she was rushed to a major hospital in Ernakulam district.
"The trauma, my family underwent during those days, could not be explained in words. Five members had contracted the disease and four of them had succumbed to it in a row," he said.
The young man said when Sabith started showing symptoms, everyone including the doctors took it as an ordinary viral fever initially. As he already had some other health issues, his death did not trigger any doubts even among relatives, the brother explained.
When Salih also caught fever and developed similar symptoms, the medical fraternity started suspecting something big, he said.
"The strange aspect is that my umma (mother) had nursed all of them. But, she was unaffected and never showed any symptom throughout the period," the man added.
Not just the tragedy that struck the family and the fear of the disease, the isolation faced in the society was also a cause of agony for them for long.
"When the deaths occurred one by one, me and umma had shifted to my uncle's house nearby. Around 30 people, all relatives, had to live together in that single house for several days as no one could step out out due to the fear of disease spread," Muthalib recalled.
There were occasions when people had apprehensions to talk or shake hands with the members of the family even months after the disease affected us.
"When my paternal uncle visited the mosque then, people were reluctant to give him the customary hug or handshake. Many would used to leave the place when he approached them to talk," he said.
Due to the Nipah fear, many married girls of his maternal family could not go back to their marital house for months as the spouses' family asked them not to come, he said.
However, Muthalib, a graduate in sociology, said the family had no qualms, as the anxiety and tension of people about the deadly disease was understandable.
At one side when they faced societal isolation, there were many unknown people who came to their house from far away places only to console them and share their grief, he said.
"A person from Malappuram travelled all the way to my village only to see my mother, consoled her and to say that his prayers were with us," the young man added.
Recently, Muthalib and umma shifted to their unfinished new home near the old house.
He said the state government had promised him a job after completion of his studies and is now knocking all the doors to get the assurance implemented to look after his mother, who could not afford anymore shock in her life.
Besides the two sons, who had succumbed to Nipah, Mariyumma had lost her another son in a fatal road accident in 2013.
"So, she is very scared when I go out of the house for anything," Muthalib said.
He also urged everyone not to get panic over the spread of Nipah virus in their vicinity and completely abide by the health department directives.
A 12-year-old boy had succumbed to the virus infection in Kozhikode last week, indicating the return of the deadly disease to the southern state again. At present, there were 257 people on the contact list and of these, 141 were health workers and none of them have any serious symptoms.

How does Truecaller app work?
Truecaller acts on a give and take scenario... You want those unknown numbers then you have to part with your phone book contacts.. Now apparently everyone who has installed the app has surrendered his phone book. The data is crowd-sourced from the millions of users who have downloaded the truecaller app on their smart phones. As part of the end user agreement, the truecaller app asks the user to allow access to the user's address book/contacts on the smart phone. This data is then uploaded by the app to the company's servers. After going through several data matching/refining algorithms, this data is made available to all truecaller users to search upon.
The story must start from the login screen. If you have already used Truecaller, you might have seen
that Truecaller only allows either Facebook, Yahoo! or Gmail to access Truecaller app. If you don't
have one you cannot connect to Truecaller database. This is because, Facebook, Gmail and Yahoo! are
the most widely used social networking sites that contain a lot of phone numbers and other contact
details. It implies that when you use one of the social sites, your entire contacts including phone
numbers, contact names, email ids will be uploaded to a secure Truecaller server. In case you login to
the app using your mobile phones then your entire address book will be sent to the Truecaller servers. These are organized into records and each number will be assigned a Truecaller id. When some one searches the number using Truecaller number search, the caller id associated with that number will be displayed.
