Maharashtra child who survived crash becomes media darling
Nashik: A bubbly three-year old girl, who miraculously survived without major injuries after she was crushed under the wheels of a MUV, has become the darling of the local media and the people of this temple town in north Maharashtra.
Zoya M. Khan was brutally run over by the front and rear wheels of a huge multi-utility vehicle (MUV) on June 18, but barring minor internal injuries, she is normal, said doctors at the Chaitanya Hospital.
The incident came to light on Thursday after footage of a CCTV recording of Rahnuma Urdu School made its way to the social media and television channels.
The videos of that afternoon incident, which have since gone viral, show the horrifying accident and little Zoya following her mother Shireen Khan who is seen crossing the road.
As Zoya ran behind her hurrying mother, a white MUV parked nearby suddenly starts moving, apparently unaware of the little girl right ahead.
Before anybody could react, the MUV crushed Zoya under the front wheel and then the second wheel also ran over her and she lay there like a mangled rag doll, appearing like a Ramadan tragedy for the lower-middle-class Muslim family.
Sensing something amiss and the resultant commotion, Shireen turned around, screamed and picked up her daughter who appeared listless.
The MUV driver, who has not been identified, was forced by the pedestrians to rush the injured child to Chaitanya Hospital where a team of doctors, including A. Jadhav, B. Borole and N. Pardeship, recommended surgery for some lung problems due to the accident.
However, Zoya has the rare A-Negative blood group, compelling the doctors to consider other regular treatment options.
To the utter disbelief of the medical team, within barely 24 hours, Zoya responded marvelously to the regular treatment for a minor lung injury, a liver laceration and a small external wound in the abdomen.
After remaining under observation a couple of days more, a completely normal Zoya was discharged and returned to the loving arms of her father Muzaffar, three elder sisters and grandparents, concerned neighbours and relatives.
Nearly a fortnight after her “crush with death” when the CCTV videos made their way to the media, she became a heroine, lionized by one and all, with people coming from other towns for her glimpse.
The family decided against booking the MUV owners after he agreed to foot all of Zoya’s medical bills and related expenses.
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.
