YouTuber Dhruv Rathee expands reach with regional language channels including Kannada
Popular YouTuber and influential social media figure, Dhruv Rathee, has extended his digital footprint by launching his YouTube channel in five prominent Indian regional languages. Widely recognized for his informative videos covering a spectrum of social, political, and environmental subjects in Hindi, Dhruv's latest endeavor aims to cater to a broader audience base across the country.
The newly inaugurated YouTube channels, introduced on Thursday, April 18, will feature dubbed versions of Dhruv's Hindi videos in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, and Marathi. Among the initial offerings on these channels is the translated rendition of his recent viral video titled, “Is India becoming a dictatorship?”
Originally released in February, the aforementioned video garnered substantial attention, amassing over 24 million views. It delved into contentious topics such as the Chandigarh mayoral election, the ongoing farmers' protest, and voiced apprehensions regarding the trajectory of India's democracy. Drawing comparisons to regimes like North Korea, the video also scrutinized the functioning of India's Election Commission, raising concerns about the state of democracy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
However, the video's critical stance attracted criticism from supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with some dismissing Dhruv's perspective due to his residence in Germany. In response, Dhruv addressed BJP supporters, urging them to approach the video with an open mind. He emphasized that personal attacks on him were merely distractions, urging viewers to focus on the underlying issues at hand. “The real issue is something very serious if you truly care about the nation. Wake up!” he asserted.
Launching in 5 Indian Languages today!

Kerala girl raped for 2 yrs at various places, over 60 involved in crime
Pathanamthitta (Kerala), Dec 11: The Kerala police have registered at least four FIRs and arrested six persons for allegedly raping a girl at various locations when she was a minor.
The arrests were made based on the statement of an 18-year-old girl, who alleged she has been subjected to rape multiple times since the age of 16, the police said on Friday.
They said five persons were arrested in connection with two FIRs filed by the police, while another person was already in jail in connection with a separate case.
A total of four FIRs have been registered in connection with the rape incident allegedly involving several people, police said.
According to police sources, over 60 people are suspected to be involved.
The issue came to light during counselling conducted by the Child Welfare Committee, after the victim's teachers at an educational institution informed the panel about noticeable changes in her behaviour.
The committee subsequently notified the police, who initiated an investigation.
According to the police, women officers were in the process of recording the victim's statement and gathering more information.
