"From Vitality to Wisdom: The Three Phases of Aging”

Image
Aging is a natural, continuous process that affects every individual differently. While the rate and impact of aging vary from person to person, scientists and medical professionals commonly divide aging into three general stages: early old age, middle old age, and late old age. Understanding these stages can help individuals and caregivers prepare for and manage the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that come with age. 1.Early Old Age (60–74 years) Symptoms and Changes: Slower metabolism, graying hair, reduced skin elasticity, and minor joint stiffness. Slight reductions in vision and hearing capabilities may begin. Some individuals may notice reduced energy levels and longer recovery times after physical exertion. Occasional forgetfulness or slower recall, though not necessarily signs of dementia. Retirement or loss of purpose may bring emotional fluctuations, including anxiety or a sense of isolation. Conditions like high blood pressure, arthritis, or type 2 dia...

Bharat's 2027 Socio-Caste Census.

Image
As the Government of Bharat prepares to launch the much-anticipated general and caste census, communities across the nation stand at a crucial juncture.  Our devanga community, deeply rooted in heritage, industrious by nature, and rich in cultural contribution, this is a defining moment.  A well-documented, unified voice can shape policies, determine representation, and unlock rightful access to resources for generations to come. The caste census, unlike the general population count, dives deeper into the socio-economic and educational realities of various castes. This data will not only influence policy planning but also play a crucial role in how government benefits, educational quotas, skill development programs, and welfare schemes are allocated. For a community like ours, which has long contributed to the nation through trade, crafts, service, and intellect, yet often goes unrecognized in official records, this is our opportunity to correct the narrative. To b...

Nature’s Solution to Microplastic Pollution.

Image
Every drop of water we drink may carry invisible threats, microplastics. These tiny plastic particles are infiltrating our oceans, rivers, food, and even our bodies. They harm marine life, disrupt ecosystems, and pose growing health risks to humans. Recent scientific research has garnered significant attention for suggesting that okra, fenugreek and other extracts could be powerful allies in the fight against microplastic pollution. it's crucial to clarify that the current research does not confirm that consuming okra water regularly can remove microplastics from the human body. The presence of microplastics in our environment and, consequently, within our bodies, is a growing concern with unknown long-term health implications. While the research on okra and fenugreek for water treatment is a significant step forward in addressing environmental contamination, further research is needed to understand the full scope of microplastic removal, especially concerning human hea...

"Common Morning Habits That Harm Your Health on an Empty Stomach"

Image
Your morning routine sets the tone for the entire day. What you do, or don't do, on an empty stomach can greatly influence your energy levels, metabolism, digestion, and overall well-being. While many of us rush through the morning without much thought, certain common mistakes can have long-term effects on our health.  Here are some mistakes to avoid when starting your day on an empty stomach: 1.Skipping Water First Thing in the Morning: Mistake:  Having coffee or tea without hydrating. Why It's Harmful:  After 6–8 hours of sleep, your body is naturally dehydrated. Starting with caffeinated drinks can dehydrate you further and stress the digestive system. Better Choice:  Start with 1–2 glasses of lukewarm water, optionally infused with lemon, to kickstart digestion and flush out toxins. 2.Drinking Coffee or Tea on an Empty Stomach: Mistake:  Having coffee or strong tea before eating anything. Why It's Harmful:  Coffee stimulates acid production ...

Cotton 56, Polyester 84, Silk 100 – "But Our Sweat Is Priceless.”

Image
A tribute to the invisible hands that wove the fabric of India. India's textile industry has a long and rich history, dating back centuries, with handloom weaving being an integral part of the cultural and economic fabric of the nation.  However, during the colonial period, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, textile workers experienced dramatic shifts in their livelihoods. These changes were driven largely by British colonial policies and the Industrial Revolution in England. "In every handloom fabric lies the heartbeat of a weaver and the legacy of generations." Before British rule, Bharat was known globally for its high-quality cotton and silk fabrics, Silk sarees from Mysore, Kanchi and Banaras, muslin from Bengal and Chintz from Gujarat. The weavers, belonging to hereditary communities thrived under patronage systems and local markets. "Powerlooms empower industry, bringing textiles to every home and hand." However, with the advent of Bri...

Census: How Indian States Differ In Enumerating Castes.

Image
India’s complex caste structure continues to shape its socio-political environment, making caste enumeration a deeply significant, and often contentious exercise. While the national Census collects data on Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), it omits detailed data on Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and general castes. This gap has prompted several Indian states to initiate their own caste surveys, aiming to inform welfare schemes and craft more equitable policies. However, these state-level efforts differ greatly in method, scope, and political motivation. 1. Bihar: Leading the Charge In 2023, Bihar became the first state in recent history to successfully conduct a comprehensive caste-based survey. Spearheaded by the Nitish Kumar-led government, the survey collected data on OBCs, Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs), SCs, STs, and general castes. The objective was to create a detailed socio-economic profile of the population to justify caste-based reservatio...
