Odisha Sahitya Akademi organises workshop on Kalinga War
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: Odisha Sahitya Akademi organised a workshop on Kalinga War at Pantha Nivas here on Tuesday, emphasising the importance of preserving and promoting the state's rich historical legacy for future generations. Culture minister Suryabanshi Suraj attended the workshop as chief guest and emphasised that Odia nationalism transcends regional boundaries and plays a crucial role in shaping youth leadership in the current generation. "Our youth will emerge as strong leaders in the development of both Odisha and India at large. They will create a distinct identity for themselves as heirs of Kalinga. They will carry forward the legacy of Kalinga," said Suraj. The workshop featured three specialised sessions focusing on different aspects of Kalinga War, such as the pre-war status of Kalinga state, the war period, and post-war developments. Discussions also covered Odisha's maritime history, naval heritage and Buddhist artefacts. Secretary of the Akademi, Chandra Sekhar Hota, who conducted the proceedings, announced that the workshop's conclusions would be documented for future reference and implementation. The Akademi will oversee the proper reflection and practical application of the findings. The event brought together prominent literati, storytellers, columnists and historians, highlighting the democratic spirit of open dialogue and debate in preserving and understanding Odisha's cultural heritage.

Indian students fear visa fallout amid US scrutiny of social media
As the United States administration pauses new student visa interviews globally and signals a move toward more aggressive social media vetting, anxiety is growing among Indian students, both those preparing to begin their studies in the U.S. and those already enrolled in American universities. Students across the board are now actively altering their digital footprints in a bid to protect their academic futures. 'One of the first things I did when I applied for my student visa was to delete my LinkedIn profile,' said Suraj (name changed on request), recently selected for a master's program at an Ivy League university. 'My LinkedIn was pretty vocal about world politics. My visa counselor said this could put me in trouble, so I decided to delete it.' Suraj, who was deeply involved in student politics during his undergraduate years in India, consciously distanced himself from activism after applying. 'As soon as I applied, I stopped attending protests. Even a single picture online could lead to my visa being rejected,' he said. He also changed his Instagram settings to private and instructed friends not to share his posts with any identifiers. 'My Instagram posts are vocal, but I've asked my followers not to tag or name me.' For other students, who are already studying in the US, the fear extends to future visa renewals and work permits like the OPT or H-1B. A student (anonymous) shared, 'I deleted many tweets, removed tags from old protest photos, and made everything private. We're living in a constant state of caution.' This evolving environment is forcing students to rethink what was once normal online behavior. 'Even liking a post that criticises government policy, any government, not just the US, can become a red flag,' said another student graduating in New York. 'The vetting isn't just technical, it's political and cultural,' he added. Some students have gone a step further, creating 'visa-safe' versions of their social profiles, completely scrubbed of controversial content, activism, or even casual political commentary. 'The International Students and Scholars Services office at my university asked us to be attentive and aware of the content we are sharing and not to be involved in any controversial material.' The U.S. State Department has so far not provided detailed guidelines on how social media content will be evaluated, but visa consultants and immigration attorneys confirm that digital presence is now a real factor in the decision-making process. 'Increasingly, students are coming to us for social media audits,' said a visa consultant in Pune. 'We advise them to make accounts private, avoid political content, and maintain consistency across all platforms.' As the global student community waits for clarity, many say their experience in the U.S. is becoming increasingly defined not just by academic performance, as the question now is no longer 'what to post' but 'what to erase' and how much of their identity must be hidden, and how much of themselves they must censor to continue their dreams in a foreign land.
