After the Galwan Valley incident, the popular idea that's resonating with a lot of Indians is that they should boycott Chinese goods and services. This, mind you, is not limited to just Chinese smartphones and electronic gadgets. People are trying to boycott everything that originates from China, in order to "teach China a lesson".
Well, it's safe to say that a lot has changed since the whole anti-China movement began. Even the government has stepped in and has banned the use of a bunch of Chinese apps. Today, we'll be taking a look at some Chinese companies and how the whole anti-China movement has affected them.
TikTok - Bytedance © Reuters
TikTok was one of the first Chinese apps to get banned in India during the first wave of the apps ban by the IT Ministry. It's been a few months since the app has been banned in India. The app's parent company Bytedance has lost a significant amount of money due to the ban.
According to a report by China's state-run media The Global Times, ByteDance could lose up to $6 billion( Rs 45k crore) after the Indian government decided to ban them.
PUBG Mobile - Tencent © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
It has only been a few days since PUBG Mobile was banned in India. However, we've already started seeing its effects. Chinese technology giant Tencent lost $34 billion in market value in one day after India banned the popular battle royale game PUBG Mobile in the country. Now that's a huge number.
Vivo - BBK Electronics © Reuters
Vivo's parent company, for those of you who don't know, is BBK Electronics, which is a Chinese company. Following the whole boycott China movement, a lot of people started raising questions on the BCCI asking them why they haven't taken a call on VIVO being title sponsors. It led to protests and calls to boycott the IPL itself, following which the decision was taken to drop them as the title sponsors.
Huawei & ZTEThere's also an on-going report that both Huawei and ZTE are to be kept out of India's plans to roll out its 5G network. This is primarily due to the rift between the two countries and the boycott China movement is not helping their case at all. This is also a massive blow to both the companies here, even though it may not seem like a huge deal to most people.

Banning of the popular game PUBG in India by the government came as a major blow to many people, especially gamers, across the country.
So much so, that in a recent tragic development in West Bengal, a 21-year old student allegedly died by suicide as he was upset over the PUBG ban in India.

Meanwhile, many PUBG fans took this piece of news in their stride and made hilarious jokes out of it. As soon as the government banned PUBG, WeChat, and other 116 additional Chinese apps, many people flooded Twitter with memes and jokes.
© Reuters
In fact, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Twitter account got hacked following the ban, Desi people on social media joked about how Karma had hit back and that hurt and frustrated PUBG fans must have hacked the PM's account out of sheer anger.
Now, some people have gone to the next level in showing how heartbroken they are over the ban of their beloved game.
Recently, we came across a video of some grieving PUBG players carrying out a public funeral procession for the game which has left us all in splits. (Can’t get weirder than this, don’t you think so?)
In the bizarre video, some boys can be seen crying out repeated chants of “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.”
Here, check it out:-
Clad in white clothes and carrying a garland-clad photo of the PUBG poster, the youngsters can be seen out on the streets in a funeral procession for the now-banned game.
The preparations look complete from carrying a matka to showering flower petals, as the song “Yaad teri aayegi, mujhko bada satayegi” plays in the background. One of the grieving men in the video can be heard saying, “Yaar, PUBG ke chakkar mein girlfriend chooth gayi thi” and “Kal tak toh sab acha bhala tha”.
The video then cuts to the wailing men hugging and consoling each other by saying, “Arre bhaisahab, sab theek ho jayega” and “Apna dhyaan rakhna” as they join hands in prayer and touch the framed PUBG poster in reverence. Finally, the words ‘Rest in Peace’ flash at the bottom of the video.
However, they are not alone, as it looks like a lot of other crushed fans have been performing their own funeral rites for the game as well. Check them out:-
Most PUBG gamers in the country are behaving as if they have just suffered the worst break-up of their life. And, a group of avid gamers are hosting a besna (funeral) in Chandlodia to mourn their ‘loss’.https://t.co/p5jDRcw73O
— Ahmedabad Mirror (@ahmedabadmirror) September 4, 2020 Here’s another similar procession posted on Facebook which was taken out in typical fashion by sorrowful youths with the caption, “Funeral of our beloved PUBG 🤧”.
They too can be seen dressed in white clothing and carrying the arthi, sloganeering, “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner”.
There were a total of 118 apps of Chinese origin that were banned by the Indian government, citing national security reasons and misuse of user data.
As per reports, PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite together had around 50 million active users in India, with around 13 million of them checking in every single day.

Some gamers played in professional leagues and tournaments, reportedly forming a big chunk of the Indian e-sports industry revenue coming in from the game’s online streamers who tuned in to watch.
Recently Akshay Kumar took to Twitter to share with his fans his latest initiative wherein he announced that he will soon launch the Indian action game FAU-G. Well, looks like PUBG lovers now have something to look forward to.
Are you a PUBG fan as well? Were you relieved or beyond furious when you heard about the ban? Let us know in the comments below.

Over the last few years, India has been making a lot of progress when it comes to its indigenous technological productions and successes. Apart from the Indian Space Research Organization which has been in the headlines lately, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has also been making great advances in defense technologies that is making India proud all around the globe.
© Twitter HarsimratBadal
DRDO is currently making news for having successfully flight tested the indigenously-developed hypersonic technology demonstrator vehicle (HSTDV) in Balasore, Odisha. With this latest achievement by DRDO, India has become the fourth country in the world to have developed and successfully tested hypersonic technology. The other three nations to have succeeded in this endeavour previously include the United States, Russia and China.

This technology shall make way for the development of missiles which can travel at six times the speed of sound, moving at more than two kilometres per second. In other words, the HSTDV will help in powering long-range, hypersonic missiles and aerial platforms which shall be produced by DRDO in partnership with domestic defense industry over the next five years.
This achievement had Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulating the DRDO for having successfully developed an indigenously built scramjet engine. He also added that it was a landmark achievement towards the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative.
I congratulate to DRDO on this landmark achievement towards realising PM’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. I spoke to the scientists associated with the project and congratulated them on this great achievement. India is proud of them.

The pandemic is far from coming to an end and the chances of a vaccine also seem bleak but the Delhi government has now opened the metro trains nearly after five months. The metro services were closed all across the nation due to the country-wide lockdown.
Now, the metro trains are up and running across all cities but with the only limited operation. The people are supposed to follow strict metro regulations amid pandemic to contain the spreading of the virus.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal also took to Twitter saying, "happy that the Metro is starting from today and "good arrangements" have been made, the Chief Minister put in a word of caution and said, "We all should not be negligent in taking precautions".
Check out the post here-
मुझे ख़ुशी है कि आज से मेट्रो शुरू हो रही है। मेट्रो ने अच्छे इंतज़ाम किए हैं। हम सबको भी सावधानी बरतने में कोई लापरवाही नहीं करनी। https://t.co/bFUz9XXk74
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) September 7, 2020
A commuter told ANI, “Passengers need to take all precautions while travelling. Service hours should be gradually extended.” However, Delhi metro posted happy faces of passengers while they were seen commuting in Delhi Metro comfortably.
A few happy faces from our first journey after more than 5 months. #MetroBackOnTrack pic.twitter.com/mIuVK9wHGp
— Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (@OfficialDMRC) September 7, 2020
People also said that it is a great move by the Delhi government and passengers just have to follow some precautionary rules to keep themselves safe.
People taking the #DelhiMetro on the first day of resumption of services say, "It is a very good move. Metro rail helps save time and money. Passengers need to take all precautions while travelling. Service hours should be gradually extended." pic.twitter.com/f6I3Z2aGxH
— ANI (@ANI) September 7, 2020
Here’s what people have to say about the government’s decision to open Metro trains amid a pandemic-
All the best !
— Prince Aggarwal (@freakishmee92) September 7, 2020As long as re-opening metros does not lead to a surge in cases, it is fine. It is an aspect that should be regularly noted in order to see if its safe to open public transport.
— Reyansh Madan (@madan_reyansh) September 7, 2020Great Effort...
— Anil Kumar Dalal (@anil_dalal1501) September 7, 2020Challenging responsibility, good luck
— Lakhan singh Meena Khirkhira (@7870lakhan) September 7, 2020@CMOMaharashtra @uddhavthackeray @mybmc When will the Mumbaikars see these happy faces in Metro!!!
— Mohit Andurkar (@mohitsmartlove) September 7, 2020The Home Ministry has issued strict guidelines allowing Metro services in the country to resume operations in a graded manner. The rules revolve majorly around contactless travel in the metro and no tokens being issues. The passengers will only sit on alternate seats and will have to wear a mask at all times.
Stoppage time at each station has also increased to maintain proper social distancing. There will be no stoppage in containment zones according to the rules and regulations.

Amid Unlock 4 in the country, as more services have begun to resume slowly, people have started stepping out more often.
However, with the increasingly-growing cases of COVID-19 virus in the country, even celebrities are stepping out only after taking all the necessary precautions.
Tiger Shroff, for example, stepped out recently and we couldn't help but admire his interesting outfit. Take a look at it here:
© Viral Bhayani
Tiger Shroff was wearing his signature pair of relaxed track pants and a co-ordinated zipped-up jacket.
However, what caught our attention specifically was the pair of white espadrilles that he had matched with the co-ord athleisure set to complete his look.
This odd combination outfit surprisingly turned out to be a functional look to step out in amid the global pandemic. Here's a closer look:
© Viral Bhayani
Tiger Shroff has always been known for keeping things basic yet functional at the same time. These key factors come in handy when one is stepping out in the current scenario.
With a basic fanny pack, one can easily fish out a sanitiser and a mask any time they like, a look that Tiger has sported in the past.
It's so much easier to have something accessible like a fanny pack cinched around your waist, while you're out running errands, keeping in that you have to maintain social distancing and follow precautions like routine sanitising at the same time.
Wearing espadrilles is a great idea particularly if you don't want to wash your expensive sneakers after coming back home each time.
If you're looking to invest in some espadrilles, here's a great option:

You can buy these here.
Coming back to Tiger Shroff, he might resume shooting soon and we hope to see more of his signature action films soon.

If there's one thing about Sidharth's sartorial choices that has struck us the most, it is his way of decking up in classic silhouettes.
On days when there's no event, he is usually seen in a casual form that never fails to grab our attention.
© Viral Bhayani
While we have seen the star wear some zany sneakers over the years, the actor took us surprise this time by wearing a super statement piece, besides his sneakers.
He wore camouflage joggers that are nothing but unique and make for a perfect outfit to don during the pandemic.
© Off-White
He is seen wearing Off-White Military Green Cotton Diagonal Joggers.
With the brand's signature stripes at the back and camouflage print all over, these joggers are striking and a comfortable choice to wear for casual outings. The stripes at the back are super bright and grab attention like none of the other pieces from his outfit.
The actor chose to wear this eccentric piece with a basic black T-shirt and a yellow N95 mask and the whole outfit looks quite stylish.
© Viral Bhayani
As for the price of the joggers, the original cost is almost Rs 40,000 but you can find it for as low as Rs 18,000 on several e-commerce websites.
This is a clever outfit to wear in Mumbai rains with the shoes getting dirtier and the joggers being so bright. Well done, Sidharth!

Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter are pairing up for the first time with their upcoming film, Khaali Peeli. The makers dropped a brand new track, but it seems like people are not approving of the song. Titled Beyonce Sharma Jayegi, the song features Ananya and Ishaan pulling off some impressive moves.
People have loved their dance moves but are complaining about the cringeworthy lyrics. The song has been composed by the supremely talented duo Vishal-Shekhar and singers Nakash Aziz and Neeti Mohan have lent their voices.
Here's the song:
People are not at all happy with how they have compared Ananya to Beyonce. They are slamming the song on social media.
Here are the reactions:

The lyrics are surely cringe-worthy and we wonder what was the need for such a terrible remix. We really wish Bollywood comes up with some original and refreshing tracks.
While Ishaan did impress us with his dance skills, his moves have certainly dwarfed Ananya.
Talking about the song, choreographer Caesar Gonsalves told Mumbai Mirror, “We experimented with everything, from popping, locking, fire juggling and b-boying to kalarippayattu and Gujarati folk. Ishaan is a fantastic dancer and picked up the moves with ease while Ananya surprised me with her dedication. We rehearsed for four days and shot over three days." The song incorporates 12 dance forms.
Well, people have been wanting to boycott the movie ever since it has been announced. With the song, the makers have also announced the release date and people have flooded social media with reactions.

We know that Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man drives around in a supremely delectable Audi R8, an Audi e-tron GT & an Acura NSX.
In real life though, he is a proper petrolhead, who actually prefers some really cool vintage sports and muscle cars, over the self-driving, electric cars.
© AFP
We take a look at his current garage, which will leave even the most ardent of car collectors and petrolheads, green with envy.
Now, do keep in mind, RDJ loves modifying his cars, and gets some really cool customisations done, like all true petrolheads. So, putting a price on them would be nearly impossible.
© AFP
1. 1974 BMW 3.0 CS (Modified) © SpeedKore
Robert just recently took possession of this car. He basically took a 40-year-old car, had it modified with a 21st-century engine and drivetrain, updated the interiors and the suspension.
This is a cracker of a car and shows just how well Robert knows his cars.
2. 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (Modified) © SpeedKore
Until the BMW rolled in, this was the crown jewel of Robert Downey Jr’s garage.
He got it back in 2017, and again, had it customised - a new engine, new wheels, new bodywork, and a touch screen infotainment screen. A little odd if you ask us, but hey, if that’s how he rolls, so be it.
3. 1965 Corvette Stingray Convertible © Reuters
This is a dream car for many collectors around the world. Downey did not go bonkers crazy with this car, he just had it restored, the engine tuned a bit, and the wheels replaced.
Admit it, it does look super cool, doesn’t it?
4. 2009 Audi R8 © Audi
Of course, given how often he has driven the R8 on screen, he was bound to fall in love with the car and buy one.
His R8 has one of those original V8 engines that Audi made in partnership with Lamborghini, before upgrading the heck out of it for their newer models.
5. Ferrari California T © AFP
As far as we can tell, this is the only Ferrari that Downey has.
The California T had become a rage in LA, given that it was the cheapest Ferrari money could buy. Instead of a loud and brash colour that would stand out, Downey went for blue. Not a fan of the Ferrari, it seems.
6. Bentley Continental GT © AFP
Apparently, Robert was gifted a matte green coloured Bentley Continental GT as a gift for his performance in Iron Man 3 in 2013. Talk about perks and bonuses.
This certainly is a bonus that would put a smile on a face.
7. Audi e-tron GT Concept © AFP
Robert Downey Jr has gone on record and said that he often takes things from the set of his films.
One such “thing” that he was actually offered to take with him from one of the Avengers films, is one of the Audi e-tron GT Concept that the carmakers gave Marvel Studios for the film.
Yup, that’s a concept car, which means that firstly, the car is worth millions, and secondly, that it is an extremely unique car.
8. 2012 Nissan GT-R © Reddit/r/Nissan
In case you ever wonder just how amazing the Japanese are in terms of engineering, you’ve got to see, or at least look up the original GT-R. Downey bought his GT-R for about $80,000, and apparently, spent another $90,000 to get it modified, tuned and customised.
9. 2017 Audi R8 Spyder © AFP
Finally, there is this, the 2017 Audi R8 spyder. Robert got himself a more hardcore version of the two R8s he already had (yup, he has 3). The red one is a spyder, or in layman’s terms, a convertible.
Such an exquisite collection of cars shows that Robert is no slouch when it comes to cars. We just wonder, how much are all these cars worth, and how much did he spend modifying the ones he did.

A name that easily pops up at the mention of ‘most-loved Indian’ has Mr Ratan Tata’s. Indians, both young and old, admire this 82-year-old business tycoon for a reason. Mr Tata is not only known for his remarkable business foresight, but the visionary leader is also loved for his humility and kindness which even massive success and fame couldn’t corrupt.
© Instagram Ratan Tata
On multiple occasions, Mr Tata has proven that he continues to lead a dignified life without backing down on his ideals and one that is based on empathy and goodwill. Hours ago, Mr Tata yet again proved all of this to be true when he took to his Instagram account to respond to some questions asked by his followers for a Q&A.
© Instagram Ratan Tata
While some questions were personal, a few insightful and others came packed with wisdom this good-natured man happily shared with the world. Here are 5 such responses Mr Tata gave which prove he truly is a great personality with a simple approach towards life and a heart of gold.
1. The Art Of ‘Playing Fair’ © Instagram Ratan Tata
One of the major things that stood out to me about Mr Tata’s responses was this one wherein his ethics and game plan as a business was laid bare by a simple question. It’s a rather simple and yet poignant question - how does one compete when others don’t play fair.
Mr Tata gives the best response when he suggests that one can still be doing their very best as long as they stay true to those who believe in them and deliver in fairness to those who support their vision.
2. The Variable Of ‘Contentment’ © Instagram Ratan Tata
I guess a lot of people could relate to this one because a lot of times we find ourselves not living the dream we had set out to achieve. What happens next is that we “settle” for less, and as is pretty obvious in this case, we are never really at peace with it and seek approval from others to feel okay.
But one look at Mr Tata’s response and we know that as long as we are not “truly content” with the decision to settle for less, it’s never really okay. Although, sometimes many people do find contentment in settling for less, no matter how rare.
3. A Yogic State Of Mind © Instagram Ratan Tata
A rather unusual question, but we’re glad somebody asked because now we know that despite being one of the busiest men in the country, 82-year-old Mr Tata still takes out the time to do yoga every evening.
What does it have to do with Mr Tata or leading a successful life? Well, we all know the wonders a healthy mind and body can do, and Mr Tata has just proven that unless we’re taking the time to step back, indulge in routine self-care practices and recentre ourselves everyday, new ideas, better solutions, valuable insights and greater success may continue to evade us.
4. Dog’s The Way © Instagram Ratan Tata
Anybody who has been following Mr Tata, even for the shortest time, probably knows about his love for dogs. So when asked about the kind of relationship he shares with his furry friends, Mr Tata said it’s a “bond that expects nothing from the other except love and affection.”
Why is this important? Because a person who can selflessly love and care for another without expecting anything in return, is a glimpse of a great human being and leader who is completely invested in not only the company but also the future of all those people who work everyday to make that company great and successful.
5. The ‘Ultimate’ Goal To Aspire For © Instagram Ratan Tata
This one was a weighted question for a lot of reasons, but Mr Tata chose to give a simple answer which still held a lot of value. When asked what he ultimately wants to be remembered for, Mr Tata said “for making a difference perhaps.”
Isn’t this exactly the kind of thing that binds together all the great human beings the world has seen? Yes, making money and being successful as a businessman is a great goal to chase, but that can’t be the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal should always be to utilise the success, money and power to make a difference to the lives of those who may not be as fortunate as you.
For instance, when asked about what his dream project is, Mr Tata said it is to “attack malnutrition in infants across India” and he has been doing his bit to make a difference in this regard through measures such as Tata Trusts’ Making It Happen initiative which is tackling malnutrition in mothers and children in Andhra Pradesh, apart from also supporting various charities and giving wings to a number of youngsters who dared to dream.
Truly a visionary and inspiration, isn’t he?

Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut has been making headlines almost every other day for several reasons including pointing fingers at the apparent consumption of drugs in the Bollywood industry, nepotism, bullying of newcomers and rivalries in Bollywood- which she believes had a role in Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
© Kangana Ranaut/Twitter
Her latest headline-making news came after she called Mumbai “Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir” which didn’t go down well with many people on social media including her colleagues from the industry.
And now, the Queen actress has been granted Y-plus category security by the Union Home Ministry ahead of her Mumbai visit on September 9 amid an escalating war of words between the actor and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut.
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut given Y+ category security by central agencies: officials
— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) September 7, 2020
Here are 5 things to know about this latest development:
1. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been asked to take over Kangana Ranaut’s security. Officials said the decision was taken after a threat perception was carried out, and the Himachal Pradesh government also approached the ministry, reports state.
2. Under the Y-plus category, the 33-year-old actor will have 10 to 11 armed commandos guarding her in three shifts, with two or three Personnel Security Officers (PSOs) accompanying her round the clock and one security personnel deployed at her residence.
3. The verbal feud between the actor and Shiv Sena leader started after her “Mumbai feeling like Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir” comment last Thursday, which didn’t go down well with many people on social media as well as her industry colleagues. In fact, Kangana had also said that she feared the Mumbai Police more than what she has dubbed as “movie mafia”.

4. In the wake of this ongoing feud, Raut had hit back in Sena’s mouthpiece Saamana, asking Kangana not to return to Mumbai for criticising Mumbai Police. He had written in his editorial, “This issue concerns the pride of Maharashtra and there will be no compromise on this front. Ranaut needs to apologise for her PoK remarks or she will face the music from our women’s wing.”
5. However, refusing to back down, Kangana said she will return to Mumbai on September 9 and further said that Raut is “not Maharashtra”. “Your people are threatening me, still, I’ll come to Mumbai on September 9,” she said in a video message on Sunday.

“Mr Sanjay Raut, you called me ‘haramkhor ladki’. You know how many girls are raped every day in the country, how many of them are tortured and killed - sometimes by their own husbands. And you know who is responsible for all this? It is this mindset which you very shamelessly displayed in front of the entire country. The daughters of this country will never forgive you,” the actor had said.
People on social media had mixed reactions to this:
Bravo India, taking good care of the girl child. An RS seat is forthcoming I guess.
— Subbarao Chavali (@CSRao73) September 7, 2020
Dolly bindra, Rakhi Sawant, and others to stage a protest against this decision. They think they deserve it more than kangana. They were the original drama queen long before kangana stoop to that level.

Meanwhile, the actress has thanked Home Minister Amit Shah for the security being provided to her.
ये प्रमाण है की अब किसी देशभक्त आवाज़ को कोई फ़ासीवादी नहीं कुचल सकेगा,मैं @AmitShah जी की आभारी हूँ वो चाहते तो हालातों के चलते मुझे कुछ दिन बाद मुंबई जाने की सलाह देते मगर उन्होंने भारत की एक बेटी के वचनों का मान रखा, हमारे स्वाभिमान और आत्मसम्मान की लाज रखी, जय हिंद https://t.co/VSbZMG66LT

Currently, Kangana is at her family home in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. On Sunday, the actor’s father had written to the Himachal Pradesh government, requesting security for her owing to the current tense scenario.
"Kangana Ranaut's father has given in writing asking for police protection. I also spoke to her sister yesterday. The Director-General of Police has been directed in this regard and she will be provided security here. We are discussing what can be done to provide security to her outside the state as she is leaving for Mumbai on September 9," Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had said.
