Question-6 Answer

7 Museums you must visit in Mumbai

The city of Mumbai is more than just a commercial hub. Culturally rich and historically significant, it
has scores of untold stories to share over its centuries of existence. Some of these stories have been
preserved in one form or another in the many museums that call the island city its home. We’ve
listed down some of the best ones for your perusal.

1. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya / Prince of Wales Museum

Formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum, it was designed by George Wittet — who,
incidentally, was also the brains behind the Gateway of India. Apart from the gorgeous architecture,
the museum is known for harbouring artefacts from the Mughal empire, as well rare heirlooms from
Europe, Nepal, Tibet, Japan, and China.

2. Mani Bhavan

If you’re a history buff, there’s no better way to get a firsthand experience of Mahatma Gandhi’s
transition from childhood to adulthood than by visiting Mani Bhavan. Apart from serving as a
memoir for the Mahatma with his many personal items on display, it also demonstrates how
Mumbai (then Bombay) was run under the British Raj — and how Mahatma used it to launch various
political movements of his own.

40
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

3. National Gallery of Modern Art

Museums dedicated to art might be a bit of a rarity in the city — but National Gallery of Modern Art
is definitely your best bet. The gallery, which was established half a century ago, hosts over 17,000
works of art — curated all the way back from the 19th century, till today.

41
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

4. Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum (formerly the Victoria and Albert Museum)

Situated near the Byculla Zoo, Dr. Bhau Lad Museum is Mumbai’s oldest and most cherished edifice.
Formerly known as The Victoria and Albert Museum, it primarily focuses on the culture of Mumbai,
doubling up as a home to relics from all over India and the globe. The museum has the most beautiful
interiors that you would have seen in a colonial building – so it is well worth a visit just for that.

5. CST Heritage Gallery & Railway Museum

If you’re fascinated by the CST train station, you’ll love their heritage gallery. Bombay was the first city
in India to get trains — and the rich history is well documented in the form of model trains, old tickets,
the marvellous structure itself.

42
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

6. BEST Transport Museum

Much like the trains, BEST buses were one of the first means of transport for the public in the city of
Mumbai. Old bus tickets, miniature models, and a full-fledged model of the 1938 version of the double
decker bus is what’s on offer here!

speaks to jury at his trial: ‘If you
offered to let me off this time
on condition I am not any
longer to speak my mind… I
should say to you, “Men of
Athens, I shall obey the Gods
rather than you.”‘ Cut two,
2015: Supreme Court struck down Article 66A and the freedom of speech and expressions prevails.
Will it happen? Not until we decide to take care of the following:

Awareness of rights and responsibilities

46
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

We all know that the rights and responsibilities are the two sides of the same coin. Before demanding
for your rights as the citizens of a country, one must abide by the rules too. While the article 19(1)(a)
does gives us the right to freedom of speech and expression, it also has the conditional clause of
“reasonable restrictions” under Article 19(2) of the Constitution of India, on the exercise of the right
to freedom of speech and expression on the following grounds:

Expanding the horizon

The bone of content during the recent petition filed was between the people exploiting their rights in
uniform or position and the young innocuous people who are not even aware of the consequences of
their remarks on the social networking sites. With the exponential rise in both, the cyberspace users
and the cyber crimes in India, the government needs to have the proactive approach rather than
reacting late. An annual training to all the stakeholders from the police to the investigators and courts
must be made mandatory. Also, NGO’s, educators and cyber experts can be roped in to educate all
the citizens in the responsible use of Internet of everything (IoE). A basic toolkit will also be a great
idea that can be provided to all those involved in skill development programmes. Cyber literacy should
be integrated into the curriculum rather than having the highest statistics in blocking the content and
websites.

“It is clear that Section 66A arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately, invades the right of free
speech and upsets the balance between such right and the reasonable restrictions that may be
imposed on such right. The definition of offences under the provision was “open-ended and
undefined”. The information dispersed over the Internet need not be information which ‘incites’
anybody at all. Written words may be sent that may be purely in the realm of ‘discussion’ or ‘advocacy’
of a ‘particular point of view’. Further, the mere causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, etc., or
being grossly offensive or having a menacing character is not offences under the [Indian] Penal Code
at all. Every expression used is nebulous in meaning. What may be offensive to one may not be
offensive to another.
The explosion of cybermedia is waiting so we better be prepared and preventive for it! A panel of the
intelligentsia- cyber forensic, cyber law, cyber security experts; psychologists; policymakers; educators

are our prevention kit. The rate at which our technology is updating, the blaze at which we are
exploring the cyberspace and the reach it has and will have; our laws and ideas need to catch up,
update and review itself periodically.

Let’s not forget that “Early bird catches the worm”.

Question-4 Answer

Choose a specific community topic. If you plan to manage the community yourself, pick something
that you are knowledgeable about and interested in. Because there are already so many online
discussion forums available, it's best to serve a well-defined niche. For example, "Buddhist Republican
Forum" will probably work better than "Religion & Politics Forum."

48
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

Select a hosting provider. If you get some webspace and a good bit of experience with web
development, you can set up your own message board using a software package. Or many hosting
providers now have automated tools to install forums for you. If you are unable to set up your own
hosting, you can use one of the remotely hosted forum services such as EZboard (now Yuku), or
Proboards which offer forums on sub-domains (with the forum hosts name in your address), but many
prefer to have a forum at their own domain (example.com), which many hosts now provide. Make
sure to get a good host because you don't want downtime. Get good community software so that you
can satisfy all of your communities wants and needs.

Create your forums (discussion areas). Ideally, you want 5-10 separate forums, each dealing with
some aspect of your community topic. For example, you can have a "General Discussion" forum, a
"Science" forum, a "Political Discussion" forum, etc. Try not to over-categorize. Ask yourself if each

49
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

subforum you add will make your community better by facilitating new topics or if it will detract by
spreading content too thin and forcing the users to search for content they are looking for.

Advertise your community. If you have some online friends with similar interests, send them a quick
e-mail to let them know about your "grand opening." If you have a website, announce your new
community to your visitors. Whatever you do, avoid "spamming" (advertising to strangers without
permission). Spamming will ruin the reputation of your community before it has a chance to get
started. You can also add your community info on your profile as signature. When you post, people
will see.

50
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

Select moderators. Each separate discussion forum within your community should have its own
moderator. The moderator keeps the discussions fresh by starting new topics and removing
inappropriate content. Community users who are knowledgeable about the subject matter of the
forum and willing to spend a few minutes a day helping the community grow will make good
moderators.

Manage the community. You and the team of moderators should agree on some basic rules of
conduct (such as "no personal attacks"), and enforce them. Occasionally, you may need to ban a
disruptive user from your community in order to prevent problems.

51
 LAB Manual BCSL-013 | Rahul Kumar (170217591)

Make strategic alliances. Exchange links with other communities with similar interests in order to
grow your user base. As your community increases in size and activity, you will have more
opportunities to create strategic partnerships with other websites.
