Hindu Holy sites ‘may offer clues to antibiotic resistance’

The Hindu holy sites in the Indian cities of Rishikesh and Haridwar attract millions of pilgrims each year – but they are now the destination for another group of devotees.Scientists trying to understand the rise of antibiotic resistance, considered by some to be the great health threat of our time, believe they could provide clues to the mechanisms behind its spread. In an increasingly  global society, travel can be pointed to as one of the reasons for the rise of antibiotic resistance.Now an international team of researchers from Newcastle University and the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, is studying how large gatherings of people could become hotspots for the spread of the genes that cause resistance.In order to do this, they needed to find a site that was free from pollution where they could study the effects of human activity.Rishikesh and Haridwar – which became famous when the Beatles dropped in during the 1960s – provided the perfect case studies.

Home ministry chalks out plan to settle Kashmiri Pandits

For Prime Minister  Narendra Modi  rehabilitation of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) was not just an empty poll promise made in the heat of elections. Less than a week into office, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), under the guidance of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), has initiated an ambitious project to rehabilitate people who have become “refugees” in their own country. The project, which is still on the drawing board, will look at the rehabilitation of not just the Kashmiri Pandits but also refugees from Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) who came to India post-partition. Identifying the IDPs ” While they are citizens of India and vote for the general elections because they are not state subjects they are unable to vote in state elections in Jammu and Kashmir. The IDPs also include those who had to leave their home and there after each war between India and Pakistan and have still not been rehabilitated,” highly-placed sources in MHA said. ...

Poll data shows large number of Muslims voted for Modi

The skepticism about the Muslim community’s reservations about voting for the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate  Narendra Modi  was laid to rest on Friday when the party went on win all the seven Lok Sabha constituencies of Delhi. Data released by the office of the Delhi chief electoral officer have indicated a reversal in the Muslim community’s support for the Aam Aadmi Party in the National Capital. In the Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituency, BJP candidate Harsh Vardhan trounced his AAP rival Ashutosh in Sadar Bazar by 17,623 votes. Likewise, in Ballimaran and Chandni Chowk too, the BJP candidate enjoyed a much larger vote share than Ashutosh. “There is no such thing that any community will be sidelined or marginalised if BJP is in power. We do not believe in such politics,” Harsh Vardhan said. While many spoke about Kapil Sibal continuing to enjoy the minority community’s faith, the poll results told a different tale. The two-time Congress MP, who h...

Seven shackles:Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the righteous legend

Seven shackles According to Savarkar, the Hindu society was bound by seven shackles ( bandi ) viz. prohibition of touch ( sparshabandi ) of certain castes, prohibition of interdining ( rotibandi ) with certain castes, prohibition of intercaste marriages ( betibandi ), prohibition of pursuing certain occupations( vyavasayabandi ), prohibition of seafaring ( sindhubandi ), prohibition of rites sanctioned by the Vedas ( vedoktabandi ), prohibition of reconversion ( shuddhibandi ) to the Hindu fold. Given below is an English translation of Savarkar’s assorted thoughts on six shackles. The seventh shackle viz. prohibition of reconversion ( shuddhibandi ) has been dealt with separately. Some of these shackles may seem unbelievable, even laughable to the reader today. The remarkable social reform that has taken place in the last 100 years is due to the tireless efforts of social reformers like Savarkar. Eating and drinking What to eat and drink is a medical issue, not...
