Abstract

India, with its wealthy biodiversity and numerous ecosystems, has lengthily diagnosed the significance of environmental conservation for sustainable development. Environmental regulation in India encompasses a vast variety of criminal principles, regulations, and insurance policies that goal to defend and retain the environment, stop pollution, and promote sustainable use of herbal resources. In this study, we use a well-designed validated questionnaire to collect the information from 400 College students (200 male and 200 female) via online/offline mode using simple random sampling. The data collected was analysed statistically using statistical software SPSS (Version 20). The results of our study revealed that majority of respondents were not aware of legal laws, an important part of healthy society. It is important for every individual to study and know about environmental laws as it helps in understanding the environmental principles and regulations that govern the protection of environment. Statistically, non-significant difference was observed between Arts and Science Stream students in practice towards environment (P>0.05). Finally, it was suggested that legal literacy about environmental laws may be promoted as it will make society more fair and useful to protect the environment and address global issues related environment.

Abstract

Worldwide cupping therapy  is  used and in  Islam  term Al-hijamah (Hijamah) also called as  prophetic medicine  is used in place of cupping therapy. Holy Prophet Muhammad  (Peace be upon him ) said, the  best among your treatments is Al-hijamah (Hijamah) as it is a promising excretory treatment to clear blood of causative pathological substances. It is a three-step iron excretion technique (skin suction, scarification and suction) through pressure-dependent filtration then excretion via the skin dermal capillaries that significantly decreased serum iron overload and  accompanying oxidative stress by  exploitation of  physiological excretory mechanism. In current study, 200 patients (100 male and 100 female) from various Unani Hospitals of Kashmir were selected at random  for our study on their consent. The study revealed that majority of the respondents understudy were aware of the benefits of Hijamah and there was nonsignificant difference in general between male and female respondents (P>0.05). Hijama is used to treat diseases such as high blood pressure, lower back pain, shingles pain, facial paralysis, spinal disk wear and tear (cervical spondylosis),  cardiovascular disease prevention,  neck pain, musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, headache, migraine, cellulitis, cough, cold, asthma, acne, urticaria,  neurodermatitis, soft tissue injury, arthritis. Practitioners apply the cups  to different parts of the body of an individual such as neck,back,  between the shoulders, behind the ear, chin, thighs, middle and crown of the head, ankle joints,  knee joints,  breast, buttocks, wrist joints, hips. Finally, researchers  gave the suggestions for the effective use of Hijamah.

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.
