Delhi University approves MA in Hindi journalism, course to begin in 2025-26
The newly-approved postgraduate course will be offered under the Department of Hindi and is part of the Faculty of Arts. It is designed in alignment with the university's Postgraduate Curriculum Framework. Celebrated annually on May 30, Hindi Journalism Day marks the publication of 'Udant Martand' in 1826 — the first Hindi-language newspaper in India — and highlights the significant role of journalism as the fourth pillar of democracy. New Delhi, May 30 (PTI) On the occasion of Hindi Journalism Day, the Delhi University's Standing Committee on Academic Matters approved the introduction of a master's programme in journalism in Hindi medium, which is set to commence in the 2025-26 academic session, according to the panel members. However, for the course to be implemented, it must receive a final nod from the Academic Council. The committee members confirmed the launch of the Hindi-medium course and revealed that an English-medium counterpart, to be offered under the Department of English, is expected to start in the following academic session, 2026-27. The committee convened on Friday to discuss and approve the syllabi for several undergraduate and postgraduate courses. These included the seventh and eighth semesters of various BA programmes, such as education, Hindustani music (both programme and honours) and geography, all structured under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF). The postgraduate syllabi in disciplines, including philosophy, economics, geography, sociology, political science and mathematics, were also reviewed during the session, with changes made in accordance with the new curriculum framework. The committee had held meetings on May 2, 6 and 8 to deliberate on syllabus revisions, many of which were later approved by the academic and executive councils, despite instances of dissent.

Innovation and Practice of Remote Instant Personality Development
Hadi Eltonsi Physician and retired Ambassador My passion for psychological learning began during high school, influenced by my sister's studies in psychology and philosophy at the Faculty of Arts. I often reviewed her coursework. Later, during my fourth year of medical school, I volunteered in an experimental group for innovative group psychotherapy. This experience deepened my self-understanding and personal development over a year and a half of analytical practice. Subsequently, I received a lucrative offer to work with the late Professor Dr. Yehia Al-Rakhawi (may he rest in peace), who led the group. However, I chose to become the first physician to join the diplomatic corps as an attaché, believing that psychological learning through interaction with diverse cultures and peoples complements introspective analysis. This analytical ability, I found, aids in understanding and anticipating policies, professional relationships, and even negotiations. In the early 1990s, I met the great late Dr. Wagdi Ragheb, who taught me that Americans had discovered discrepancies between Freudian psychoanalysis (which they deemed overly theoretical) and the actual workings of the human nervous system. Focusing on internal negative emotions, he argued, amplifies them, draining energy into tensions that harm mental and physical health, thereby affecting activities and relationships. By consciously redirecting emotional attention outward—away from internal psychological reactions—these negative emotions dissolve within two months. The energy once consumed by them is redirected to external life, enabling abundant, flexible energy to resolve crises with sensitivity, deep awareness, and swift, accurate decisions. This state of calm, happiness, inner peace, efficiency, and maturity mirrors the psychological standards required for astronaut selection. I trained myself to achieve this over two years, whereas my *Remote Instant Leadership Personality Development* method enables recipients to attain it in a single session of several hours. This involves a three-hour video call to agree on personality analysis and development goals at the conscious mind level. The agreed-upon personality traits and goals are then imprinted on the subconscious mind during sleep via telepathy, energy transfer, Reiki, hypnosis, and role embodiment. ### Professional Journey and Certifications Since 1995, my work in Guatemala allowed me time to complete studies in psychology, human medicine, energy sciences, and parapsychology. Key certifications include: - **The Silva Mind Control Method**: Enabled meditation, visualization, and development of extrasensory abilities like telepathy. - Clinical and conversational hypnosis training, including mastering silent hypnosis (inducing deep sleep without dialogue), allowing ideas and emotions transmitted via telepathy to embed directly into the subconscious. This contrasts with Freudian hypnosis, which relies on relaxed conscious states where recipients may resist therapeutic messages, necessitating repeated sessions. - Certifications in life coaching, Reiki mastery, pranic healing, family constellations, and advanced yoga (notably mantra-based meditation), which enhanced my Kundalini energy and chakra alignment for mental, spiritual, and physical fitness. ### Evolution of the Method Starting in 1997, I offered free silent hypnosis to volunteers, imprinting agreed-upon psychological states on their subconscious. While successful, results were temporary. To address this, I introduced pre-session dialogues resembling cognitive-behavioral therapy to align analysis and goals, ensuring therapeutic messages were mutually agreed upon and effective. Success soared when recipients were cooperative, transparent, and convinced—since the subconscious cannot adopt unagreed-upon imprints. After retirement, I began professional practice in 2015. In 2016, Egypt's Supreme Council for Culture granted me intellectual property rights for in-person instant personality development. Two years later, it was published as a groundbreaking research paper in a British psychiatry and psychology journal. In 2022, the remote version received Egyptian IP rights and was republished in the same journal. The COVID-19 pandemic spurred me to integrate Reiki, extending the method's reach globally. Both in-person and remote methods achieve identical outcomes, though remote sessions offer greater accessibility, safety, and scalability. The non-therapeutic branding also facilitates international use without medical licensing, serving functional purposes like boosting productivity and improving workplace dynamics, even for non-clinical recipients—all without complications, pain, or medication. ### Methodology and Outcomes The remote instant personality development method delivers immediate, permanent, and comprehensive results through: 1. A single 3-hour video call to analyze personality and set conscious-level goals. 2. Imprinting these goals on the subconscious during sleep via telepathy, Reiki, hypnosis, and role embodiment. A brief pre-session call ensures suitability and clarifies benefits. Follow-up calls the next day verify results, with ongoing guidance as needed. Recipients achieve peak happiness, inner peace, maturity, and efficiency, embodying leadership mindsets that inspire teams, foster mutually beneficial relationships, and resolve crises creatively. The method also addresses neurological issues (depression, anxiety, phobias, trauma, OCD, psychosomatic disorders) and negative habits (insomnia, obesity, smoking)—with a 96% success rate among willing participants. It excludes psychotic disorders, active substance addiction, and children under 12. ### Impact and Vision This method enhances productivity and workplace environments across corporations, banks, universities, and institutions by equipping leaders with happiness, efficiency, and crisis-management skills. Health and lifestyle improvements are detailed on my official website, which features testimonials, CV, media coverage, and international conference recordings. An international innovation publisher recognized it as one of 2021's top global discoveries, dedicating a chapter to it in their reference book. I was also appointed Chair of Medicine and Wellbeing by Earth Loving Friends Organisation to globalize this breakthrough. Trained practitioners could amplify its reach, revolutionizing workplaces and societal harmony. Imagine managers worldwide undergoing instant leadership development, boosting productivity and well-being—a potential catalyst for international scientific acclaim. While Dubai's health undersecretary, Dr. Amin Al-Amiri, deemed it an energy-based practice requiring no hospital licensing, Egyptian psychiatrists acknowledge its legitimacy alongside homeopathy and acupuncture. ### Advocacy and Call to Action Despite eight years of outreach to Egyptian and international authorities, I fear this discovery—a fusion of psychotherapy, energy work, and leadership training—may fade without institutional support. Unlike conventional sciences, energy-based methods lack licensure frameworks, though parapsychology institutes globally aid military, political, and scientific endeavors. For instance, lecturer Gregg Braden's YouTube video shows three healers eradicating a tumor in three minutes via energy alignment in a Chinese non-pharmaceutical hospital. The U.S. Air Force's 1986 lab experiments confirmed humans share an invisible energy field where passion can alter DNA remotely—proof that energy and intent rival pharmaceuticals. Yet industries built on denying such realities hinder its adoption. To ensure credibility, I propose training talented practitioners under a scientific body to assess, certify, and globalize this method. Medical tourism centers, leadership institutes, and individual sessions could democratize access while generating profit. My seminars at Egypt's public libraries, diplomatic clubs, Vienna, and virtual platforms (see my website) have showcased its potential. I urge UNESCO or Arab/international bodies to evaluate and endorse this humanistic breakthrough. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why? Analysis: Russia, Turkey...

The great women of Egypt!
I admit that my writing has predominantly highlighted the talents of Egyptian men, as if Egypt's legacy lacked any noteworthy female figures. Today, I rectify a historical oversight and bring attention to various remarkable women. Among them, I bring up Aisha Abdel-Rahman, Bint al-Shati' (Daughter of the Shore), Suhair al-Qalamawi, Taha Hussein's student, and in particular Aisha Rateb (February 22, 1928 – May 4, 2013), an Egyptian lawyer and politician who was the first Egyptian woman to hold the position of ambassador and also a professor of international law at Cairo University. Rateb was born in Cairo into a middle-class, educated family. Regarding her university life, she initially studied at the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University, but after only one week, she transferred to the Faculty of Law. She graduated from Cairo University in 1949 and then went to Paris for a short period to continue her education, subsequently receiving her doctorate in law in 1955. Rateb applied for a judgeship on the State Council (Egypt's highest administrative court), but was rejected solely because she was a woman. The then Prime Minister, Hussein Serry Pasha, stated that having a female judge at that time was against the traditions of society. In response, she filed a lawsuit against the government for violating her constitutional rights – a groundbreaking case in Egypt. Rateb ultimately lost her case. The head of the State Council at the time, Abdel-Razek al-Sanhoury, later acknowledged that she lost for political and cultural reasons, and not due to Egyptian law or Islamic Sharia. Al-Sanhoury believed that other women were entitled to follow her lead, even though no female judge was appointed until 2003 when Tahani al-Gebali took office. In 2010, the Prime Minister ordered a review of the recent decision against allowing the appointment of female judges. Then, in July 2015, 26 women were sworn in as judges. Rateb was part of the Arab Socialist Union's Central Committee in 1971, where she contributed to drafting Egypt's new constitution. Notably, amongst all the committee members, she was the sole voice to object to the extraordinary powers granted to the then-President Anwar Sadat by the constitution. Following that, she served as Minister of Insurance and Social Affairs from 1974 to 1977, becoming the second woman to hold that cabinet position. Throughout her tenure, she successfully pushed through reforms benefiting women in the country, despite attempts by conservative figures to undermine her reputation. Rateb introduced limitations on polygamy, ensured the legality of divorce only with a judge's validation, worked to support the poor, and established a law for the employment of people with disabilities. She resigned in 1977 during the Bread Riots in protest against the government's decision to lift subsidies on essential goods, which severely impacted Egypt's poorer citizens. In 1979, Rateb made history as Egypt's first female ambassador. During her tenure, she skillfully navigated Egypt towards a balanced position in a world rife with polarized international relations.
