The state governments are responsible for law and order. To that extent, The U.P. government managed by Samajvadi Party is responsible. But the fact remains that the culprits behind the outrage are none but the saffron block. The promient figures belonging to main ruling party at cente are obstructing arrestof the culprits who are definitely associated with the saffron organization. We cannot equate the watchman with thief. That is to say that the negligence of state government cannot be equated with criminal activities of the saffron organizations whose pivot is RSS- the rallying point as well as real ruling organization at center.
Between the year 1985-1995 more than 600 Kashmir Pandits were butchered by the militant groups in Kashmir and there was a mass exodus of Pandits from Srinagar ...so it was the centers fault then too according to your argument and I don't remember the writers especially Nayan Tara who is also a Kashmiri getting panic stricken nor feeling a twinge of conscience, deciding to return her award. Let us not simply make excuses, everybody knows who is behind this step ...it is the party that calls itself secular but in actuality is the most communal of all parties in this country ..At least the so called Saffron brigade has the guts to show itself in true colors and if they are behind the attack since the opposition wants it to be that way , they will be caught and punished !

Renouncing an award is a very old practice. As we all know that Tagore did it by returning his Knighthood after Jaliwanwalla Bagh massacre. He was right in doing so. At present the writers have all the right to show their protest in their own way but it should be backed by a strong moral ground. The same writer must act in the same way when a similar situation arises again irrespective of any political bias. If this time the writers renounced the awards only to show support to a certain political party and to demean another then their act lose its sheen but countering a writer by posing a question that why she didn't do it during the Anti-Sikh riot then my simple opinion is maybe she failed to react at that moment but that does not signify her support for the riot. This writer spoke against Emergency so I would like to think that the writer has no hidden agenda. Expression of reaction may vary due to age and many other conditions.

Here is thin layer between yoga and meditation. Yoga is physical exercise and keep our body and mind healthy. But in meditation we allowed all bad and good thoughts to come and go and try to forgot all these. In this way we clean our brain. for Yoga we have to follow some precaution like, empty stomach, not to eat and drink at least 15 minutes after yoga exercise and some more, but these are not necessary for meditation.
Meditation is also a part of Yoga. or Ashtanga Yoga or 8 limbs of Yoga. Precautions are common to all limbs of Yoga.
Some of the precautions to be taken besides what yo said are, the practitioner should wear loose dresses. Asanas should be done in well ventilated places, One should do yoga preferably in morning times,

One must see the things in real perspective. In the present scenario in every sphere of our life Dishonesty is ruling the roost. There is no such place where you cannot see dishonesty Keeping this point in view, if one wants to stick to Honesty, he is bound to face not only failure but ridicule.

They are similar in some respects. but as far as the location of the pressure points are concerned they are different. Both treatments stimulate these pressure points.
Basically it is accupressure but person who trace new points, give it new name. Our body have thousands points. I know one more, it clap therapy. Claping for five minutes.
Yes clap therapy is another alternative therapy. When you clap, all the pressure points located in the hands are stimulated. It results in normalizing the Blood pressure and strengthens lungs and heart.
Yes clap therapy is very useful in blood pressure problem. I tried it many time. Each I felt relief.
Besides helping in reducing the Blood pressure, clap therapy helps in reducing diabetes, Asthma, common cold and depression. Because in our hands there are several nerves which are directly connected with heart, liver and lungs. By clapping we are stimulating these nerves.

The reason for bad breath is indigestion and improper brushing of teeth. Of course sweat also can irritate the people around. But for sweat,taking bath with lemon juice mixed with Luke warm water will reduce the bad smell of sweat.
Taking bath is effective to remove sweat's stench. But how many time we can bath in a day 2 or maximum three time. We can't stop sweat. It is good to improve over eating habits. Avoid khenni and other chewable Tobacco product.
True. one need not take bath several times in a day to remove the bad body odor. In fact sweating is necessary to remove the harmful toxins in our body. This can be achieved by physical exercise. Changing the lifestyle and eating habits also can help in removing the bad body odor.

True. Ignorance and superstitions about Health leads to such gory killings. It seems spreading awareness in the people may help to some extent. I'm sure no legislation can stop this witch hunting. Even if somebody falls sick for any reason, witch hunters especially in the villages think that it is done by witches.
Poverty is also behind these types of evils. Education is only and only solution of this problem. It is very hard job to change psyche of peoples but not impossible. It require some time and hard work.
Beliefs and superstitions are so deeply rooted since several generations in people that one cannot bring a change in them overnight. But with perseverance using education and spreading awareness through voluntary organizations can help.

yes this type of practice is in fashion in rural area. Some time relative and family members also chained mental ill because they have not money for treatment.
Now this trend is showing up in urban areas too I have seen how old parents are being ill treated either by their sons or by the daughters in laws and driving them almost to the stage of madness. These old parents silently suffering the torture.

The very intention of these writers who returned their awards was some thing different. The reason according to those writers is Dadri lynching incident. in fact these protesters were led by a group that have some other political affiliations. And it's a small group. But the group in reality is against a party which ruling the country. The party that's leading the protesters are desperately trying to come in to power once again. It's obvious who is politicizing the whole issue.
