Abstract

The Unani System of Medication is based on four therapeutic modalities namely, Regimental therapy, Dieto-therapy, Pharmacotherapy and Surgery. One of the most important and world wide practised methods of regimental therapy utilized for local evacuation of morbid humours is Irsale Alaq (Leech or Hirudo therapy). It is a procedure of treatment with the use of medicinal leeches which has been suggested and successfully practised by Greeko-Arab physicians since long in the management of various diseases such as musculoskeletal diseases, gynaecological disorders, chronic skin diseases, thromboembolic diseases, varicose veins, ENT disorders. Kashmir is a Muslim majority region and as per Islamic ruling leech therapy is permissible so any Halal treatment in Shariah perspective is accepted in Kashmir. In present study, we chose 100 respondents at random on their consent and with the help of self-developed questionnaire collected information on the topic understudy. The study revealed that Kashmiri people consider leech therapy a traditional /religious treatment and use leech therapy for treatment of many diseases such as to treat frost bite, Chronic skin ailment, sports/accident injuries, Musculoskeletal pain, Hypertension, Sinusitis, Osteoarthrites, Migraine. Majority of respondents recommend leech therapy for people for treatment of various common ailments in Kashmir as they believe its less costly, effective and traditional method of treatment of diseases like Frostbite, sports injuries, arthritis. Statistically, significant difference was observed between male and female respondents for treating various ailments using leech therapy (P<0.05).

In Kashmir like in many Muslim countries a good number of people prefer leech therapy to cure many ailments because of its medical importance.

Abstract

Worldwide youth spend a lot of time on social media which has become a powerful source of information that converts automatically into knowledge.  In  current study, we chose 400 youth at random on their consent using stratified random sampling procedure and with the help of self-developed validated questionnaire, we examine the political awareness and approach of youth Kashmir towards voting. The data collected  was analysed using standard statistical tools.  It was found that  majority of respondents understudy were aware of politics and political scenario of  the study area.  Statistically, there was non-significant difference in general in the awareness and approach of youth towards voting between male and female youth  in Kashmir. The study showed that 79.5% respondents cast vote as they consider it their right, 67.5% respondents reported that people cast vote as they feel it is the agent of change, 81.5% respondents reported that people cast vote as every vote counts and 32.5% people reported that people cast just for fun without thinking on it seriously. Majority of respondents male as well as female were not satisfied with the performance of candidates irrespective of any political party. Further, group discussion with elders revealed that  handful of corrupt people who had no sympathy with their mother land or people of Kashmir spoiled the image of Kashmiri people for their personal benefits. The people in power were enjoying life because of their dual policy. The current study was based on sample of 400 youth, it was suggested that future study on this topic may be conducted on large sample.
