Unhealthy Indian society and it's implications

-

 Health of Society is equally important as that of an individual. But outdated cultures and negative mindsets of people can affect the society's health and cause it to deteriorate. Take for instance, the love and worship of a male child in Indian society worldwide. This has not changed over the years despite laws being laid for gender equality under British colonial rule as well as self-rule. 

Love and worship of male children

In the regressive Indian culture, male child is valued while female children and women are just taken as a symbol of sex and reproduction. Despite women of today pursuing higher education and taking up important roles in the society and workforce, nothing substantial has changed for them at the home front.

Besides, such independent women in India are a minimum and cannot put forth their points assertively. And at home, they still continue to follow culture laid gender roles with very few men really helping them in cooking, child care, and such household chores. There is no sharing in care of children and household chores. 

The dislike for female progeny has reached such enormous heights that parents abort female fetuses and feel no shame in doing so. The female feticide continues underground even though there are some punitory laws made related to it. These laws in no way has truly helped in reducing female feticide even though government is shouting its lungs out that it has. 


Let us look at what all this absence of gender parity and hate for female progeny has led to in India especially in the Northern states where patriarchal society is stronger than that in Southern parts of India. 

1. Female feticide 

2. Female infanticide 

3. Improper maternal nutrition and increased maternal deaths. 

4. Dissatisfaction and unhappiness in women and girls 

5. Overburden and tension in working married women

6. No support for women

7. Mental disorders in women

8. Women becoming a liability 

9. Women considered a burden to shed at the earliest 

10. Wrong notion that women cannot be independent 

11. Men getting no brides due to skewed sex ratio 

12. Rise in sex brides. So you see, despite men suffering with lesser brides, the ultimate victim still is the girl or women who is kidnapped and used as sex brides in states like Haryana and Punjab. And government is a mute spectator of this all.

13. Increasing number of women opting for no marriages or overseas transfers or marrying non-Indian men. If Indian men think they can get brides from overseas, then with it with come problems for them because non-Indian women will not take any nonsense from Indian men if they ill-treat her!!!

So you see, the ultimate sufferer would be the men, present and future, in India. Why not just start respecting women and treating her well if you want a good society and family in future??? If your aim is only sex and reproduction, with no happiness, then go ahead and continue to do what wrongs you are doing now! All the best!

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
