“Men may come & men may go
But I go on forever”
This beautiful line is from “The Brook,” a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It means that humans are mortal but rivers are eternal. River, generally have their source of origin high up in the glacier mountains & hills. The water flows through a meandering course along the slopes of mountain, plains & plateaus. And finally they join in to the sea. The depth & width is lesser when the river flows through the mountain course & increases as it enters the course on the plains.

When the river flows along the plains it breaks it’s banks sometimes & carries off the rocks & soil along it. Weathering is the process of breaking down of rocks, soil, mineral as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, water, and biological organisms. The responsible agents for the same are water, wind, waves, snow, ice & gravity. They are then transported & deposited at different sites.

Then the river flows along the plains, it breaks it’s banks sometimes & carries the soil & rocks. But in the plains, particularly near it’s estuary the flowing rate reduces gradually. Thus the river cannot carry their soil & rocks. So they are stored in the river bed & give rise to islands & deltas. Sometimes during the rainy season a river overflows it’s banks owing to heavy rains & some other causes. Then it creates much damage to standing crops, houses & property. But a river is a great benefactor to mankind. It carries alluvial soil & makes the land on either side very fertile.

For ages rivers have been serving as a very easy & cheap means of communication. In ancient times merchants sent their saleable commodities to different countries in ships. Because of these & other factors human civilisation & had it’s origin on the areas beside  river banks. So we see the civilisations of the Nile, of the Indus, the Euphrates & the Tigris etc.

During the monsoon, heavy rains cause flood in some rivers. It causes much loss to property and lives on the areas lying by the river banks. In spite of this harmful side, we must treat rivers as great benefactor to us. They are also an indispensable parts of nature. Human civilization could not have started without rivers.

Rivers have a great influence on us by creating a soothing climate helping the growth of crops, plants & trees preventingthe spread of deserts. The water of the river is the main source of lives of men & animals. Generally a river has its origin in a mountain, hi or a high pleateau or another large river. Some of the large rivers came into its very existence from the glaciers of the mountain. The Ganges, the Yamuna, Teesta & Torsa are some of them. The streams widen up once they enter the plain region & ultimately joins into the sea or the ocean.

Since time immemorial the river has stood as a symbolism of life . This idea is manifested basically in literature, particularly in poetry. Like if you have read this poem called ‘The Brook’ by Lord Tennyson where it focuses mainly on the brook as it takes a long & winding journey across the countryside to join in a large river. Minutely detailing the delicate moments the brook has on its way & drawing a direct comparison to the lives of men.

Enough is enough! After what happened “again” yesterday ,how are the authorities so casual? Why is the blood still not boiling? Although, it should have, a long time ago when these pathetic people even think of molesting and raping a girl. How do they even not think of the consequences or how do they even have the guts to touch a girl inappropriately. From a 6 months old to a 90 year old lady no baby, girl or a woman is SAFE. Why is the law so lenient when it comes to such heart breaking moments. Yet again a NIRBHAYA and god knows how many suffer daily without being highlighted.

What was the fault of an innocent girl working in the field when she was gang raped by men who don’t even deserve to be called Humans any more. How long will they take to give her justice. 7-8 years? When will we get a law that instills fear in these disgusting men who are free as hell and do whatever  they feel like. We need a law following which these people will think at least 100 times before even touching a girl without her consent! 

Only the bearer knows where the shoe pinches. Nobody can even think of feeling the pain that victim goes through. Not only her but her family, her parents who can not bear the pain of their child suffering. The double standards of the society and it’s people are also disgusting. She must not be in appropriate clothes or she would have only done something. are the comments a victim has to listen. What is the problem in clothes of a girl ? How does that define her consent of un appropriate touches? What should a 6 month old baby wear to protect herself from being raped? Or what should even a teenager or a woman wear ? Do rapes not happen when a girl is wearing a salwar kameez ? And then they are the ones who come up with candles marches and protests on social media with trending hashtags of justice to prevail!! Is that a joke ?

These candle marches and slogans and protests will do nothing until we have a firm law that punishes those criminals as soon as they are suspected. No means no!! When are we going to teach our sons that a No means No. Even if you are married and your wife says not to touch her, you DON’T  because she said so. There are no If’s and no But’ s then left to answer. It is your duty to make her feel protected. It is the duty of every nation to provide security to their women. The slogans of Women Empowerment is of no use until you don’t really Empower them. It is the duty of every citizen to make sure there are no Nirbhayas in this world. It is the duty of the Law of every country to have appropriate judicial system to take action against these criminals and provide justice to the victim as soon as possible. It is high time that education reaches to all the people in the country so that their pathetic minds can turn into productive ones . It is important to teach your kids  the importance of respecting everybody and every gender. To teach them to draw a line between the wrong and the right. All the schools should teach their girls the good touch and the bad touch in all levels of classes. Be it nursery or Higher education. Sex Education is another important thing to be provided to everybody.  There is no harm in teaching your kids and it is rather very necessary in today’s world. Be friendly with your kids .Make sure they don’t hide anything from you .Trust them when they say something is wrong. There are times when parents don’t listen to their girls when she says a relative has done something wrong with her, that should never happen listen to them until it is too late for you to even regret. Talk to them if you feel they are not okay. Do not ignore the signs it can result in something very disastrous. 

“Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.”
― Kurt Cobain

The execution of the culprits in the Nirbhaya case has not completed even a year, and now Manisha Valmiki. On the Hathras incident, once again the convicts in the whole country have started demanding the death penalty.  Do you know that in many countries the death penalty is so ruthless that the criminals will be shocked.  Let us know what is the provision of capital punishment in America, Pakistan, Russia etc.

In our country, there is a provision of capital punishment in the case of rape of rarest.  But in all other countries of the world, there is zero tolerance for rape.  For example, in Islamic countries, there is a provision of severe punishment for rape.  Like in Iraq, the rapist is punished.  He is also stoned to death in a very harsh way.  Seeing the punishment given to the culprit, people are so scared that they are afraid of committing such a crime.

US federal law does not use the word “rape” or rape.  The law there considers it a crime to commit sexual acts without consent.  These laws are grouped under chapter 109A of the US Code (18 U.S.C. 2241–224).  In federal law, the punishment for this offense can range from a fine to life imprisonment.

According to Article 131 of the Criminal Code of Russia, rape is defined as heterosexual vaginal intercourse using violence or threats of violence.  The maximum punishment for a crime like rape is up to 30 years.  It depends on the consistency of the crime.

In Pakistan, rape is seen as a heinous crime.  Here the rapist is punished from death to death.  According to the Zinah al-Jabr (rape) law in the Hudud Ordinance in Pakistan, gang rape is specifically given the death penalty.  Apart from this, there is also an option to punish the rapists with corporal punishment.

North Korea is a country which has the provision of punishing the guilty of rape.  Here, several bullets are shot in the head publicly to the rapist.  In the United Arab Emirates, the rapist is sentenced to death directly.  According to UAE law, the rapist is hanged within a week.

In the country, questions have often been raised about the long process of punishment in rape cases.  Even though there is a provision for the death penalty for the culprits of rape, but in India the cases of female violence and crime are not decreasing.  The incident of Hathras has once again angered the people of the country, all are demanding the death penalty of the culprits at the earliest.  Let us know that the girl, who was a victim of gangrape in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, died on Tuesday.

A second epidemic has now spread to China, claiming to have recovered from the Corona epidemic. It is an epidemic- bubonic plague. According to reports, a three-year-old child from Meghai County in Yunnan province of China has been affected by the plague. Only last week there was news of a plague outbreak, but it was confirmed on Sunday. An emergency has now been imposed in the southwestern part of China. Earlier, three mice infected with the plague were also found dead in Yunnan. According to reports, the condition of the child is stable at the moment, but the Chinese administration has declared a fourth level emergency so that the epidemic does not take a form of deterioration.

According to the Chinese government newspaper Global Times, information has been released about the spread of the disease in mice in the Shiding village of Manghai. Two months ago, several cases of plague were reported in northern Mongolia, after which a third level warning was issued across the country. There were 22 suspected plague cases in Mongolia, of which six were confirmed.

Two other cases of bubonic plague were reported in Khovd province in July, after which more than 140 people were investigated. According to reports at the time, a shepherd was exposed to the disease in the northern interior Mongolia region of China. After this, the administration appealed not to hunt animals and eat meat at the local level.
The bubonic plague is also called the ‘black death’. This is a very old epidemic. Due to this, crores of people have died. This pandemic has made people a widespread victim three times until now. Due to this, about five crore people have died for the first time, the second time one-third of Europe’s population, and the third time around 80 thousand people have died.
How is this disease?
According to experts, the disease is caused by bacteria found in wild mice. The disease is transmitted to wild mice and then after its death, plague bacteria enter the human body through fleas. On the bite of these fleas, the infected bacteria get into the person’s blood and the person becomes infected with the plague.
The bacterium that spreads bubonic plague is the Yersinia pestis bacterium. It attacks the body’s lymph nodes (lymph nodes), blood, and lungs. Although it is an old epidemic, its cases continue to be seen even today, as happened in China and Mongolia. In 1994, there were about 700 cases of bubonic plague in India, out of which 52 people died. It is said that the disease was known as the ‘Plague of Justinian’ in the sixth and eighth centuries. About two and a half to five crore people died then. After this, in 1347, when a third of Europe’s population died of bubonic plague, it was named ‘Black Death’. Scientists are making efforts to make the plague vaccine, but this vaccine has not yet been available.
