This document summarizes and critiques a Hindutva narrative on science in ancient India that was promoted at a symposium of the Indian Science Congress. The key points of the narrative are: 1) Ancient India had the oldest and most advanced civilization, with scientific and technological knowledge predating and surpassing other cultures. 2) Knowledge creation in ancient India was purely indigenous. 3) India's superiority declined due to suppression by foreign cultures but can be reclaimed. 4) Modern understandings underestimate ancient India due to colonial biases. The document argues this narrative lacks credible evidence, conflates history and mythology, and violates disciplinary standards of history and science.
This document discusses various educational policies and commissions in India since independence, including the National Policy on Education (1986, revised in 1992). It also discusses challenges in literacy, school education, and higher education. Key points include high illiteracy rates especially among females and certain social groups, low enrollment and high dropout rates after primary school, and poor learning outcomes. The document critiques the proposed National Education Policy 2016 for its focus on centralization, commercialization, and Hindutva ideology rather than empowering state governments and prioritizing quality and inclusion.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
This document discusses the dilemma of surgical emphysema with no clear cause. It presents 3 case studies where CT scans or MRI were needed to identify pneumomediastinum or pneumoperitoneum as the source when chest x-rays were equivocal. It also notes that while injecting air can cause emphysema in cadavers, this needs more experimentation in living humans. The key is to carefully examine for needle marks, and use imaging tests and treatment like chest tubes selectively based on symptoms.
The state of Haryana in northern India has experienced rapid economic and social development in recent decades. Infrastructure and industries have expanded significantly, helping to reduce poverty and improve living standards for many residents. However, development has also caused environmental degradation and social imbalance in some areas that officials are working to address through sustainable planning and policies.
I grew up in a small village in the rural state of Haryana, India. The village life was simple yet fulfilling, surrounded by farmland and close-knit communities. While technology has changed some aspects of daily life, the essence of rural living in Haryana remains deeply rooted in tradition, family, and connection to the land.

This document discusses the Marxist view of science as both reflecting objective reality while also being a product of history. It addresses how scientific discoveries are driven by the needs of society but also follow an inner logic. While science reflects material relationships, the categories used to understand these relationships can be influenced by ideology. The relationship between science and ideology is complex and the Marxist view seeks to reconcile how science can be both historically produced and create objective knowledge.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can have mental and physical health benefits over time by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation.

The study analyzes the spatio-temporal pattern of literacy in Haryana, India between 2001-2011. Some key findings:
- Overall literacy rates in Haryana increased from 67.91% to 76.64% during this period.
- Male literacy rates were substantially higher than female rates in both rural and urban areas. However, the gender gap narrowed over time.
- The lowest literacy was found in Mewat district in 2001 and 2011, while the highest was in Gurgaon district due to its proximity to New Delhi.
- Districts adjoining the National Capital Region generally had higher literacy rates compared to other districts.
Global warming will worsen the problem of dead zones around the world according to a new study from the Smithsonian. The study looked at over 400 dead zones where low oxygen levels do not support life. Warming will hold less oxygen in waters and rising seas will destroy wetlands that filter nutrients causing dead zones. Shifting currents could resuscitate some areas with colder oxygen-rich waters. The researchers found over a dozen direct and indirect ways climate change will expand dead zones with economic and ecological risks.

The document discusses the skewed sex ratio in Haryana, India, which has the lowest child sex ratio in the country according to the latest 2011 census. The sex ratio at birth in Haryana is just 830 females for every 1000 males. This is due to a strong preference for sons over daughters and the practice of sex-selective abortions, despite laws banning them. The declining sex ratio is projected to have serious social consequences, such as increased crime rates and depression as more men remain unmarried. While literacy rates have increased, this has paradoxically contributed to worsening sex ratios as more people now know about sex determination technology. Overall, the child sex ratio has declined dangerously nationwide and interventions to address this problem have
The document discusses the skewed sex ratio in Haryana, India, which has declined further according to the latest 2011 census. Haryana has one of the lowest child sex ratios in India at 830 females per 1000 males. Two districts in Haryana, Jhajjar and Mahendragarh, have child sex ratios even lower at 774 and 778 females respectively. While overall sex ratio has improved slightly nationwide, the preference for sons over daughters in Haryana and other states has led to widespread female foeticide resulting in fewer girls. This skewed sex ratio is projected to have serious social consequences if not addressed.
The document discusses the major health impacts of climate change including increased deaths from heat waves, natural disasters, changing disease patterns, food and water insecurity. Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations like children, elderly people, and those in developing countries with weak health systems. The World Health Organization is working with countries to assess health vulnerabilities and strengthen health systems to better cope with climate impacts. Scholars have identified the most pressing challenges as addressing information gaps, strengthening developing country health systems, developing new technologies, facilitating low-carbon living, and prioritizing climate change in institutions.
The document discusses two estimates for the number of women who die during pregnancy and childbirth in India each year - 50,000 according to the UN and 71,792 according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. It notes that large discrepancies also exist for maternal mortality estimates in other countries. The author calls for a careful comparison of the methods used by the UN and IHME to estimate maternal mortality in order to provide more clear and credible information to policymakers.
Haryana has a skewed sex ratio with fewer females than males. This is due to the cultural preference for sons and the practice of sex-selective abortions. As a result, Haryana has one of the lowest female-to-male ratios in India, which has led the government to implement policies aimed at improving the situation and protecting the girl child.
This document discusses domestic violence against women in India, specifically in the state of Haryana. It provides statistics from surveys that show high rates of domestic violence, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, with over a third of married women experiencing such violence. Factors like poverty, lack of education, alcohol use by husbands, and witnessing domestic violence as a child increase the risks of experiencing domestic violence. The document aims to dispel myths around domestic violence and show that it is a widespread social problem in India affecting women across all demographics.

This document discusses social determinants of health and health inequities in Haryana, India. It notes that while some parts of Haryana have progressed, other areas are still suffering. The World Health Organization recognizes that conditions like access to resources and wealth influence people's health. A WHO commission recommended improving living conditions, addressing inequitable distributions of power/money, and monitoring impacts of actions. Reducing social determinants is key to reducing unfair health differences within and between countries.
