Valentine’s Day celebration in India has been much debated and covered by the media in the last couple of years. In the year 2009, far right Hindu activist from Sri Ram Sena to Bajrang Dal were involved in beating up unmarried couples and blackening their faces, as mark of shame for celebrating Valentine’s Day. They claimed that the festival was a “western practice” and promotes “lust not love”. Following this other Anti- Valentine’s Day groups also expressed their views and this led to public debate about moral policing and Indian culture. However what is interesting to note is the fact how media covered. At one side media has played a big role in promoting it (for many reasons) and on the other hand it has also criticized it for cultural and religious concerns.This research tries to explore in depth how media covers the festival with commercialization, culture, religion and politics in the backdrop. The research studies 9 newspapers of in 3 different languages, namely English, Hindi and Urdu.  The study tries to find out whether media is biased in covering the festival or is it propagating an idea to its readers. The idea of taking 3 different languages is to draw a sharp comparison and contrast among the national and vernacular newspapers.In order to find it, both quantitative and qualitative methods have been applied to the articles. Content analysis and Textual analysis are the important methods used to find out the statistics and underlying meanings behind these articles.Int. J. Soc. Sc. Manage. Vol. 3, Issue-3: 171-187

The article investigates how Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo – two of the leading Brazilian quality newspapers – expressed their editorial positions on the impeachment of the ex-president Dilma Rousseff. The comparative study encompasses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine 506 editorial texts published between 2015 and 2016. By using Content Analysis, the research found out that Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo take different positions along the process: each newspaper presents particular arguments to justify the impeachment’s legitimacy; regarding the solution for the political situation, O Estado de S. Paulo fully supports the impeachment, while Folha de S. Paulo asks for the then president and her vice-president to resign. In the end, both organizations agree in their editorials that Rousseff has to be removed from office. At the same time, Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo try to avoid being seen as actors conspiring against democracy, which makes them dispute whether Rousseff’s impeachment was or not a coup. This research provides the opportunity to investigate to what extent journalism loosens its place as a watchdog to behave as a demanding actor.

This article aims to examine the thoughts of Muḥammad Sa'īd Ramāḍan al-Būṭi in his book Tafsir Al-Mar'āh Bayn al-Ṭugyān al-Niḍām. The focus of this study is emphasized on how al-Būṭi interprets the verses about the division of inheritance between men and women which have been the subject of debate among experts. By using qualitative methods and content analysis, it can be concluded that in resolving the distribution of inheritance between sons and daughters, al-Būṭi offers the concept of al-tasāwī (equality) in the distribution of inheritance between men and women, so that there is no marginalization and subordination. addressed to one party, in this case women. With this concept, it is expected that men and women can inherit a balanced inheritance. According to him, the superiority or superiority of men (ar-rijàl) over women (an-nisa') is not based on natural advantages or factors of creation, but is based on the quality of management, wisdom and the level of culture and awareness that differs among humans. According to him, Islamic inheritance law is not measured by the level of equality between heirs, but is determined based on the size of the burden or responsibility that is developed for them, in terms of the general condition of their lives.
