Abstract

A woman whether she is married or unmarried seems to be the lesser child of God because the domestic violence (which is attributed usually to the in-laws) starts even before she comes into the world as at times a foetus that carries a female is either aborted or if the girl-child is born, she is killed. It’s a proven fact even in the 21st century that in many families, girls are attended to after the boys have been cared for. Woman is the foundation of a family, gives birth to a new life, nurtures and shapes it, preserves and transmits culture from generation to generation; the irony is that she is subjected to domestic violence irrespective of her age, race, and caste, social, economic and political status. Her vulnerability in various forms is the common phenomenon in the Indian society. Her silent sufferings are making her an easy prey to the male domination which is supported by the patriarchal society that we live in. Almost every home in India must be suffering from some kind of domestic violence where women either as a daughter, daughter in law or as a wife are abused physically, mentally, verbally or even economically. If she speaks up then she is labelled as disobedient and rude. Though theoretically men and women have equal rights but still a woman is discriminated and this at times makes her unable to understand her own right and freedoms. Thus domestic violence not only hampers women but it’s also a hindrance to a country’s growth. This paper deals with the menace of domestic violence and how the different religions deal with this problem as at the end it’s not just about the laws but also about the morals.

Abstract

Rheum webbianum Royle, commonly referred to as Himalayan rhubarb, has been extensively utilized in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani. Despite its traditional and pharmacological significance, comprehensive toxicity studies are necessary to ensure its safety. This study investigates the acute and the sub-acute oral toxicity of the ethyl acetate extract of Rheum webbianum Royle in Wistar rat models. The acute toxicity assessment was performed using female rats, administered a single oral dose of 500 mg/kg and 2500 mg/kg body weight, and observed over 14 days for any toxicological manifestations. Similarly, the sub-acute toxicity study involved the administration of daily oral doses of 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, and 800 mg/kg to both male and female rats for 28 days. Throughout the experimental period, all animals were rigorously monitored for any alterations in behavior, morphology, or physiological functions, as well as for any mortality occurrences. The findings from the treated groups were systematically compared with those of the control group to evaluate potential toxic effects. Body weight was recorded weekly, and on days 15 and 29, all animals were sacrificed for the assessment of organ weights, hematological and biochemical parameters, as well as gross and microscopic pathology. No mortality or notable behavioral alterations were observed in the rats at the administered doses, during the acute and sub-acute oral toxicity evaluations. Consequently, it was established that the median lethal dose (LD50) of the plant extract, exceeds 5000 mg/kg. The biochemical parameters were found to be within normal ranges, and histopathological analysis revealed no evidence of toxicity. This indicates that the extract concentrations used in the study do not exert toxic effects on organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. Thus, we can conclude that the root and rhizome extract of Rheum webbianum Royle is non-toxic at high doses over short periods of use. However, further research may be needed for extended use of the extract.

Abstract

Kashmir, popularly known as paradise on earth is gifted with numerous water bodies comprising of rivers, lakes, streams and springs.  We discuss in this paper various water bodies of district Anantnag of Kashmir valley, their present status and role. Data was collected from published resources, internet and field surveys for this study. It was found that once clean water bodies of district Anantnag like Tulian lake, Sheshnag Lake, Marsar Lake,  Harbagwan Lake, Jhelum  etc are at present facing significant challenges related to pollution and degradation. . The district is also home to several rivers like the Brengi, Sandran and the Lidder, which originates from Sheshnag Lake. Additionally, Verinag, a spring of historical and scenic importance, is located in Anantnag district, have fallen victim to extensive encroachment, garbage dumping, climate change, over-extraction of ground water,  and the release of untreated sewage. Water bodies play a vital role in the region's ecosystem,  human settlements,  support local ecosystems, agriculture sector, fisheries, and tourism which play a significant role in Jammu and Kashmir’s economy. Field survey revealed that several water bodies, river banks  of district Anantnag due to lack of awareness about waste management,  have become dumping sites for garbage, resulting in environmental degradation as well as  health hazards. Water Pollution, Siltation and Deforestation, Climate Change are the main challenges water bodies are  facing in district Anantnag. In major religions of the world water is considered sacred.  In Islam water occupies a pivotal role, mentioned 63 times in Quran and is recognized  as a blessing that gives and sustains life, and purifies humankind and the earth.  The principle of water conservation in Islam is beautifully illustrated by the rule which says that while making ablutions (wudu) we should be abstemious in the use of water even if we have a river at our disposal.  In conclusion, it is the responsibility of all stake holders to protect  water bodies used as drinking water sources, an important component of our  lives.
