New Delhi, Nov 28 (IANS) Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar feels happy to see that people of Haryana are looking at women differently and says that her beauty pageant win will “definitely” bring about a change and will encourage girls from her state.
“I think when women or people from any community do well , it is a very big encouragement for all the girls especially in a place like Haryana which people presume that women are looked down upon but now the map is changing ,” Manushi told IANS when asked how her win will give a new life to the girls of her state.
She added that most of the achievers in her state are women.
“I am happy that people from Haryana are looking differently at women now. Yes there was not much of participation towards beauty pageants from my state but now the map is changing and I am happy that girls are becoming beauty queens,” she added.
She returned to India last week with the crown and was accorded a warm welcome at the international airport here. She landed in the Capital on Tuesday to address the media.
The Miss World 2017 was accompanied by her medico parents Mithrabasu and Neelam Chhillar along with her brother and sister to address the media, here. She was also joined by Julia Morley, chairwoman of Miss World.
Morley told IANS that Manushi’s Beauty with a Purpose initiative under which she took up the mantle to spread awareness about the important issue of menstrual hygiene, gave her an edge over other contestants.
“We had a very strong Beauty with the Purpose project and a large number of people judge that. We were very pleased that India came in top five which I think was an interesting part because her purpose was very close. I am happy that she won for the right reason,” she said.
Looking elegant in a Tarun Tahiliani suit, her victory will help her project grow more.
“After winning, I was able to collaborate with local manufacturers of sanitary pads…With Miss World pageant supporting me, I can take this to next level,” said the 20-year-old who also wants awareness about nutrition in Indian women.
“I feel that the health of the mother is the health of the society. I’m happy that I grew up in a family where my mother gave importance to health and nutrition. In fact my parents run an NGO where they provide nutrition supplements to more than 500 women and as a medical student, it is absolutely necessary to put light on nutrition of women because in India the maximum cases of anaemia is there,” she said.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
