Recently, the Prime Minister of India, while addressing a programme to mark the 7th International Day of Yoga (IDY), has termed yoga a "ray of hope" and a source of strength amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. About International Day of Yoga Background The idea for an UN-mandated IDY was first proposed by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 2014. He highlighted yoga as an invaluable gift from Indian ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action and is a holistic approach that is valuable to our health and our well-being. It is not just about exercise but it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with oneself, the world and nature. This initiative was backed by as many as 177 nations, the highest number of cosponsorsever for any UNGA Resolution of such nature. The UN proclaimed 21st June as IDY by passing a resolution on 11th December 2014, during the 69th session of the General Assembly. 21st June was chosen as it marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, which holds special significance in many parts of the world. Theme for 2021: Yoga for Well-being. It is relevant for current times where society is still recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Beyond its immediate impact on physical health, the Covid-19 pandemic has also exacerbated psychological suffering and mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, as pandemic-related restrictions continue in various forms in many countries. This has highlighted the urgent need to address the mental health dimension of the pandemic, in addition to the physical health aspects. As it is an event of a global scale, preparations for the IDY event usually begin 3-4 months prior, ultimately culminating in a grand programme where millions of people come together to observe the spiritual history and significance of the day. Logo: The brown leaves in the logo symbolize the earth element, the green leaves of nature, blue the fire element while the sun symbolises the source of energy and inspiration. Tulu Language History & Culture Why is in the news? Recently, various organisations initiated a Twitter campaign demanding official language status to Tulu in Karnataka and Kerala and received an overwhelming response. History of Tulu Language in India The scholars have suggested that Tulu is among the earliest Dravidian languages with a history of 2000 yrs. Robert Caldwell (1814-1891), in his book 'A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South- Indian Family of Languages' had called Tulu as one of the most highly developed languages of the Dravidian family. In between 14th to 15th century the oldest inscriptions were available in Tulu. These inscriptions are in Tigalari script and it is found in Barkur (capital of Tulu nadu) during Vijaynagar period. igniteias.com 4 About Tulu Language Tulu is a Dravidian language. It is spoken mainly in two coastal districts Dakshina Kannada and Udupi of Karnatakaand Kasaragod district of Kerala. As per the 2011 Census report, there are 18,46,427 Tulu-speaking people in India. It has a rich oral literature tradition with folk-song forms like paddana, and traditional folk theatre yakshagana. It has an active tradition of cinema with around 5 to 7 Tulu language movies produced a year. Demand of Tulu Speakers The Tulu speakers, mainly in Karnataka and Kerala, have been requesting the governments to give it official language status and include it in the eighth schedule to the Constitution. The official languages mentioned under eighth schedule are Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri.

Article Importance of East Africa in Indo-Pacific Neha Sinha Abstract The East African region has gained immense importance in recent times mainly because of its strategic location on the west coast of the Indian Ocean, its resources and its economic potential. Many countries, including countries of Indo-Pacific region, are trying to establish their influence and military bases in the region. The significance of Africa as a whole for the safety and security of the Indo-Pacific is growing. It is therefore important to systematically build ties between Asia and Africa through a free and open Indo-Pacific maritime zone, in order to promote stability of the region as both the continents are on the rise and also conflict prone.

  • The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
    www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 18 - Fall 1991 © 1991, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific "Having finally penetrated below the clouds of Venus, we find its surface to be naked [not hidden], revealing the history of hundreds of millions of years of geological activity. Venus is a geologist's dream planet.'' —Astronomer David Morrison This fall, the brightest star-like object you can see in the eastern skies before dawn isn't a star at all — it's Venus, the second closest planet to the Sun. Because Venus is so similar in diameter and mass to our world, and also has a gaseous atmosphere, it has been called the Earth's "sister planet''. Many years ago, scientists expected its surface, which is perpetually hidden beneath a thick cloud layer, to look like Earth's as well. Earlier this century, some people even imagined that Venus was a hot, humid, swampy world populated by prehistoric creatures! But we now know Venus is very, very different. New radar images of Venus, just returned from NASA's Magellan spacecraft orbiting the planet, have provided astronomers the clearest view ever of its surface, revealing unique geological features, meteor impact craters, and evidence of volcanic eruptions different from any others found in the solar system. This issue of The Universe in the Classroom is devoted to what Magellan is teaching us today about our nearest neighbor, Venus. Where is Venus, and what is it like? Spacecraft exploration of Venus's surface Magellan — a "recycled'' spacecraft How does Magellan take pictures through the clouds? What has Magellan revealed about Venus? How does Venus' surface compare with Earth's? What is the next step in Magellan's mission? If Venus is such an uninviting place, why are we interested in it? Reading List Why is it so hot on Venus? Where is Venus, and what is it like? Venus orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path between Mercury and the Earth, about 3/4 as far from our star as the Earth is.

It was observed that Chevalior Sivaji film songs reflect the theoretical domain such as (i) equity and social justice and (ii) the practice of virtue in the society. In this research work attention has been made to conceptualize the ethical ideas and compare it with the ethical theories using a novel methodology wherein the ideas contained in the film song are compared with the ethical theory. Few songs with the uncompromising premise of patni (chastity of women) with the four important charateristics of women of Tamil culture i.e. acham, madam, nanam and payirpu that leads to the great concept of chastity practiced by exalting woman like Kannagi has also been dealt with. The ethical ideas that contain in the selection of songs were made out from the selected movies acted by Chevalier Shivaji giving preference to the songs that contain the above unique concept of ethics.

  • Probable Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Sites in India: XX
    Full-length paper Asian Agri-History Vol. 18, No. 3, 2014 (257–282) 257 Probable Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Sites in India: XX. The Konkan Region Anurudh K Singh H.No. 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon 122017, Haryana, India (email: [email protected]) Abstract The Konkan region – consisting of the narrow strip of India’s northwestern Western Ghats and the coastal plains – is a region with rich agriculture heritage, where most of the people are involved in agriculture. The region is credited with the use of unique agricultural systems, such as the Gavkari joint land management system. Agriculture has been practiced in the region from ancient times; the contacts it had with the Africans, Arabs, Turks, Romans, etc., enabled the trade of agricultural produce such as spices, textiles, perfumes, etc., much before the advent of Western European culture. The trading continued during the medieval period, and played an important role in the introduction and adaptation of several exotic crops into India, revolutionizing Indian agrobiodiversity. At the same time, it facilitated the dispersal of Indian crops such as rice, spices, coconut to other parts of the world, enriching global agrobiodiversity. Cultivation of enriched agrobiodiversity under diverse high-rainfall microclimatic conditions led to the development of unique tropical mixed cropping systems, generation and conservation of rich genetic diversity in most crops, and the creation of new avenues for farmers’ livelihood support. For these contributions, the region is being proposed as another National Agricultural Biodiversity Heritage Site in India, based on the indices illustrated for identifi cation of an agricultural biodiversity heritage site. The paper discusses some of these contributions in brief.
