After a gap of over three years, India emerged as the top buyer of Venezuelan crude for two consecutive months of December 2023 and January 2024, as per shipping fixtures and ship tracking data. Indian refiners stopped oil imports from the Latin American country in 2020 after the United States (US) imposed sanctions on Caracas. Crude oil dispatches from Venezuela to India in December were almost 191,600 barrels per day (bpd), while in January, the loadings rose to over 254,000 bpd — nearly half of the Latin American nation’s total oil exports of almost 557,000 bpd for the month. India — specifically private sector refiners RIL and Nayara Energy (NEL) — was a regular buyer of Venezuelan crude prior to the imposition of US sanctions in 2019.

India is the world’s third-largest consumer of crude oil and depends on imports to meet over 85 per cent of its requirement.

Detailed Explanation:

In Jammu and Kashmir, a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Jammu, Dr. Karan Nathwani has developed an anti-drone system that works mainly on sound technology.

The developed anti-drone system is both cost-effective and user-friendly, making it accessible for security forces and other users. It is the first of its kind system that is developed based on an entirely new technology called ‘sound-based detection’. This system detects the sound emitted by drones and produces a unique signature that helps in identifying drones. It could easily detect drones, aircraft, multiple drones or birds flying up to 300 metres by their sound.

The signature is compared with the system’s database, and if a match is found, the drone is detected. The cost of this system is about 4 lakh rupees. It will help in detecting drones and birds coming from Pakistan. With the increasing use of drones for illicit activities such as smuggling arms, ammunition, cash, and drugs, various technologies are being developed to aid security forces in tackling this threat

Detailed Explanation:

OpenAI, the creator of the ChatGPT, has unveiled a new generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model that can convert a text prompt into video. The model, called Sora, can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.

Sora is capable of creating “complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background. Sora in Japanese means sky, an imagery that evokes ‘limitless creative potential’. Sora is an AI model developed by OpenAI – built on past research in DALL•E and GPT models and can generate videos based on text instructions. DALL-E is a text-to-image model developed by OpenAI (introduced in January 2021) that creates digital images from natural language descriptions. DALL•E can generate imagery in multiple styles, including photorealistic imagery, paintings, and emoji. OpenAI says that the current model of Sora has weaknesses. It may struggle with accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene, and may not understand specific instances of cause and effect

Detailed Explanation:

UNESCO declared February 21st as International Mother Language Day in the year 1999 and has been witnessed all throughout the world since 2000. This declaration of Mother Language Day came into existence as a tribute to the language movement in Bangladesh. When Pakistan was separated in 1947 it had two partitions: East Pakistan and West Pakistan. The two parts were extremely different from each other in the sense of culture and languages. In 1948, the Pakistani government declared Urdu as the national language of both East and West Pakistan. But the majority of the people in both east and west Pakistan had Bengali or Bangla. The East Pakistan people started a protest as they have Bengali as their mother tongue. They demanded Bengali be at least one of the national languages in addition to Urdu. This was raised first by Dhirendranath Datta on February 23, 1948. To demolish the protest, the government of Pakistan outlawed public meetings and rallies. The students of the University of Dhaka, with the support of the general public, arranged massive rallies and meetings. On 21 February 1952, police opened fire on rallies. Three people died, with hundreds of others injured. This was a rare incident in history, where people sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue. Since then, Bangladeshis have celebrated International Mother Language Day as one of their tragic days. They visit the Shaheed Minar, a monument built in memory of the martyrs and its replicas to express their deep sorrow, respect, and gratitude to them. International Mother Language Day is a national holiday in Bangladesh. The resolution was suggested by Rafiqul Islam and Abdus Salam, Bengalis living in Vancouver, Canada. They wrote a letter to Kofi Annan on 9 January 1998 asking him to take a step toward saving the world’s languages from extinction by declaring an International Mother Language Day. Rafiq proposed the date as 21 February to commemorate the 1952 killings in Dhaka during the Language Movement. Rafiqul Islam’s proposal was introduced in the Bangladesh Parliament and in due course (at the behest of the Prime Minister) a formal proposal was submitted to UNESCO by the government of Bangladesh. The process of shepherding the proposal through UNESCO’s regulatory system was undertaken by Syed Muazzem Ali, then Bangladesh ambassador to France and Permanent Representative to UNESCO, and Tozammel Tony Huq, his predecessor, who was then a Special Adviser to UNESCO Secretary-General. Finally, on 17 November 1999, the 30th General Assembly of UNESCO unanimously resolved that “21st February be proclaimed International Mother Language Day throughout the world to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on this very day in 1952.
