Jal hi Jeevan hai

Water is life. Imagine earth without water- the soil without water in it will grow nothing it would be lifeless, dust, sand, or rock. Imagine air without water, it would be impossible to breather in. 80% of our body is made up of water.

How much water we have?

The Earth is full of water. There is water on surface of the earth in form of rivers, oceans, lakes and ponds. There is water below earth surface. Water is also present in form of ice in glaciers and in form of vapour in air.

About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered. So it would seem that water is one thing we would never have to worry about. But actually here is. 96.5 percent of Earth’s water is in oceans- which is saline. While oceans also support life, but when it comes to land animals and plants, we need non-saline water, we need drinkable water. Which is less than 3% of the entire reserve.

Water Cycle

Description: Diagram of the water cycle showing evaporation, condensation, and precipitationWater is never ever sitting still- even when it appears to. Thanks to the water cycle, water is constantly changing form and place. Water from oceans evaporate under Sun, these vapours form cloud which brings rain across planet. Entire earth’s water supply is constantly moving from one place to another and from one form to another. If there was no water cycle, the water will become stale, bacteria and fungi will grow in it- making it unusable for humans.

Water Consumption Trend

Description: https://www.ourplanet.com/imgversn/141/images/glance/glance1.jpgWater is required for our day to day activities- from needs like food to wants and luxuries like playing golf. The demand of water has been constantly increasing. And unfortunately most of this is for freshwater, we have not been able to use saline water (and even if we learn to transportation will be a challenge.

Since 1900, the population of earth has more than tripled. The water demand per capita is constantly increasing. This has increased our water consumption exponentially. It has been estimated that humanity now appropriates 54 percent of accessible runoff, and could be using 70 percent by the year 2025 [3].

Population distribution and water stress areas

The amount of freshwater in the world has reached to almost a constant level over billions of years of earth and water cycle. So why there should be a water crisis now? What has changed? Well, population explosion is definitely an issue. Another critical thing is uneven distribution of population. It is not at all mapped to the freshwater supply (which is not very practical or easy either).

At present some 40 percent of the world’s population live in areas with moderate to high water stress. By 2025 this is expected to increase to two thirds – or 5.5 billion people [3].

Day Zero

The threat to water availability is scary and more imminent than ever. Day zero is the day when water supply in a city will have to be stopped.

Cape Town, South Africa, is the first city to face this threat [4]. There were huge campaigns and awareness programs run in the city to educate the citizens to cut down their water needs. They had to stop watering their gardens and even cut on flushes in the toilet.

Day zero threat is not just looming over Capetown but dozens larger cities like Bangalore, London, Tokyo are facing this threat [5]. Thankfully, the Day zero clock of Cape Town has been advanced by a year. But the threat is not at all over. Unless we make habit of better water recycling and make lifestyle amends, day zero is hanging over our heads.

The cover drive masters…

The cover drive is a special type of shot which requires fine wrist work and well-timed striking of ball to hit the ball into the cover-side area which is towards off side of batsmen. This shot is historically a famed one and the players who have mastered it are considered to be finest players of the game.

The stroke became historically famous during the golden era of cricket in nineteenth and early-twentieth century when cricket England started classifying players as Amateurs and Professionals. The amateurs mastered the off side shots while professionals practiced the leg side shots like flicks around the wicket.

When it comes to cricket, many interesting stats arise, one such is of playing cover drive in tests which has derived almost 40909 runs. Over the years the legacy of playing this shot has been passed on from legends like Mark Waugh, Micheal Vaughan, Sourav Ganguly to current stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson and many more. 

The Leaders by Average:

While playing cover drive though Virat has scored 1038 runs off this shot and is the only player to do so ,he has been dismissed 14 times while trying to play it taking the average to 74.1 runs per dismissal. This is quite healthy average but interestingly he ranks 25th among top 45 batsmen who have scored 300-plus runs off this shot. 

The leading are South Africa’s Aiden Markram ,Faf du Plessis and pakistan’s Asad shafiq. Markram has scored 338 runs off cover drive without a single dismissal and Faf du Plessis has scored 542 runs of 2 dismissals giving him fantastic average of 270. 

Right vs Left- who plays it best:

The stats are revealing that left-handers are better players of the shot than right handers. It is clear that left handed players are edging the righty players for playing the shot. In fact the stats reveal that from over last 40-60 years left handers have edged right handers over the average runs per dismissals while playing the shot.
PERIODRIGHT-HANDERS’ AVERAGELEFT-HANDERS’ AVERAGE
1965-7435.9339.54
1975-8435.0937.06
1985-9435.6938.87
1995-28.7434.86

It is not wrong to say that left are right in this case.

Conclusion:

It is very interesting that cricket analytics have each and every information right from dot balls played by a player to the sixes he has bet.The cover drive has been always difficult as well as favourite shot of many legends. 

Track2Training NGO – An initiative for Development

NGOs or the Non-Governmental organizations are generally non-profit organizations working independent of the government. Their main aim is to provide basic amenities to the needy or the people living in poverty. They basically work towards uplifting the society. There are many sectors of the society that do not get the representation and are left to deal on their own. This is where NGOs come into play. They take up social responsibilities and raise awareness about these issues and organize fundraisers so that donation can be collected to meet the standard services. There are various programs being organized by the government itself for the poor people but it is hard to believe that the benefits will be able to reach each and every marginalized member of the society. There are certain other forces needed to make this come true. They shed light on the unacceptable conditions of living. Through their various programs, they create opportunities for the children to learn and grow. Providing education and giving them vocational training or skill-based training can create a diverse work force in the future. It will also help to mitigate the issues of unemployment. Apart from providing free education, they are also involved in large scale distribution of food, clothing items and even strive to provide shelter to many. NGOs try to branch out using microfinance, sustainable development and holistic programs as the foundation. They can also focus on providing health care or medical facilities in general to the people as well as sanitation needs should be dealt with. Many people feel that NGOs may not add much to the society as they are expected to. There are some benefits and advantages to all and there may be places where NGOs fail to play their part but their multi-sector approach is underestimated. They have helped people deal with certain issues that were usually not talked about. They have established a complex and dynamic approach to poverty and many of them have been doing great in terns of their objectives and goals. There are certain NGOs in India itself that strive to eradicate poverty, or work towards helping children dealing with malnutrition. NGOs are able to see the shortcomings of the current system and understand the needs . This poverty alleviation will require a lot of time. It is a lengthy and tedious process but NGOs have taken a step for the implementation of this initiative. They promote community sustainable development. Track2Training is working for the development of rural areas and skills in youth for future jobs.

Road to success.

The road to success is never easy and never a straight one.It comes with a lot of failures and bad experiences.You have to deal with all sorts of confusion regarding your target or goal. Your friends and family try to advice you on the their level of perspective and you also have to keep their advice in mind. When you deal with all your friends and family then comes the enemies who will want to take you down and wish you fail. But if you believe in yourself and have the so called determination within and believe in faith, the route will definitely lead you to success. Success in not a place you reach but it is a plan which you executed perfectly.

How to achieve success?

The first step to achieve success is to set a particular goal. It does not matter if the goal is a small target or a big one, what matters is the potential and the determination to get the job done. Secondly you will have to work on developing your skills which will be required in completing your goal. Lastly you will have to work on your time management skills and organize your time according to your needs and your lifestyle so you will have time to do other day to day jobs as well.

How to set your goal or target?

Each and every person in this world has purpose in life. It just needs to come out in the form of words or as a practical practice. To make it easy write down all your dreams,goals,wishes that you strive to achieve in this world. While you write all these goals do not think on how to achieve it at that particular time as it could lead to negative thoughts and would demotivate you. As you write these goals you will come to know how much you can explore the world by following your dreams and this will result in a positive belief in you. You need to prioritize your goals as why you really need to work on it and accomplish it and the other various reasons you are willing to invest your time in the particular goal. If you cannot commit to your goals there’s no need to write it down on a piece of paper.

What if you fail?

It’s important to focus and plan each goal. But what if you focus,plan,organize and invest all your time in the project and still fail? You will notice that you have not achieved the desired target but the experience you have gained while working on your goal takes you to some of the greatest positions in life which you might not have reached if you had not started working on your goals. As ability changes over time it is important for one to keep working and not accept failure as failure is a delay not a defeat.

Failing doesn’t make you worthless

In today’s world, we are constantly preoccupied with what others think about us. For some inexplicable reason, we would like everyone to think we’re successful and thriving. We fear that if we fail, we’ll be perceived as a good-for-nothing. But everyone fails in life. I mean, check out Steve Jobs or Bill Gates; did they become successful overnight?


Failing opens up new doors

While we often think of failing as the end of the world, it’s actually a redirection. I know it’s hard to believe, but you have to understand that every time something doesn’t work out, it’s because something way better is on the way. All we have to do is work hard, be patient, and trust the process.

Failing makes you stronger

Although failure knocks you down on your feet, it also forces you to get back up and continue fighting. It forces you to get out of your comfort zone and try things you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of trying. In other words, failure forces you to grow. So every time you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, remember that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.


Failure is delay not defeat

Life has a funny way of taking unexpected turns, but I promise you it’s nothing against you. You see, everything in life has its own timing, and everybody on this planet has their own personal clock. So sometimes when you fail, it’s not because you didn’t try hard enough. It’s because the universe is telling you that it’s just not your time. What can you do in this case? Trust your timing. Trust the process.

Conclusion

There’s no stopping while chasing success as it a journey not a destination. You will fail, not just once but many times.Your approach to learn after each failure will define your urge and potential to reach success.

Their Sacrifice, Our Safety

Things are turning into spirals as we are moving forward, this year is giving us endless surprises with haunted gifts beginning from Corona Virus to natural calamities to deaths and a plethora of hazardous things. While we were dealing with the demise of a Bollywood personality (Sushant Singh Rajput) the media channels on the other hand flashed the news of battle which took place at the Line Of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China, where we have lost our 20 brave heroes.

Deadly Ladakh Clash

The clash took place at a disputed border site in the Galwan area of Ladakh, in the Western Himalayas. It is an area with an altitude of around 14,000 feet where temperature often falls below the freezing point, where the soldiers stand day and night inorder to maintain peace in the country. India says “the violent face-off” is an attempt by China to “unilaterally change the status quo” on the Galwan Valley, whereas Beijing accuses the Indian Army of “provoking and attacking Chinese personnel, resulting in serious physical confrontation. This is said to be the deadliest clash between the two Asian countries in decades. Indian Army said 20 of it’s soldiers have been killed whereas the China’s defence ministry have not confirmed any casualties.

The Dynamite Heroes

The soldiers who stood day and night as the strong pillars for the country, for their people, for peace and sovereignty, we tend to forget their brave stories because according to us soldiers are meant to die, they are not soldiers, they are statues made of stone who are known as watchdogs of the country, but I would like to shed some light on them and their stories. Below are the names of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us.

TimesNowNews.com

One of the brave soldiers Ganesh Kunjam(27), had fixed his wedding during the visit to Kukurtola in Bastar region of the state(Jharkhand) and one of the soldier who was blessed with daughter was planning to meet her after seven months of her birth but unfortunately couldn’t. We should think about the families who send their children to become soldiers to fight for their country, we should think about their children who haven’t seen their fathers for months and about the wives who wait patiently for their husbands to return. Above all we should think about those courageous fighters who stand day and night, leave all their comfort, go through all the harsh weathers just to save their country, their people who can stay in peace. We will never understand their condition of pain and suffering but we can always remember them in our prayers and should also pray for their families. We should think about the time when their families wait for the soldiers to return but they welcome themselves in a coffin, about the tears that the mothers shed, about the loss that they have to bear. Words cannot describe their pain and their condition. But we should always keep this thing in mind that war, bloodshed, pain, poverty will never end untill our so called politicians will try to resolve it peacefully but we as the citizens of the country should always continue to maintain peace among ourselves and should always follow the rule of humanity.

World Picnic Day…

We celebrate world picnic day on 18 June, and It’s often claimed that life is no picnic but today it is! International Picnic Day is a chance to eat out in the open air with friends or family. The word “picnic” comes from the French language, and it’s believed this type of informal outdoor meal became a popular pastime in France after the Revolution. As fans of Jane Austen’s novels will know, 19th-century picnics were elaborate social occasions, with menus featuring a wide range of cold meats and pies that took days to prepare. International Picnic Day is celebrated in many countries, though its origins are uncertain. Charity events, school picnics, and all kinds of other group meals are organized to mark the occasion. You could also bike, walk or hike to a nearby beauty spot, or just take your sandwiches and cold hard-boiled eggs into the garden and enjoy an al fresco lunch.

International Picnic Day is observed on June 18, every year. It is a day to encourage people to go outdoors and enjoy a hearty meal in nature, with other people’s company. In the early days, people used to go on a picnic as an escape from their daily lives. The true origin of International Picnic day remains unknown, but it can be traced back to the end of the French Revolution and the Victorian Era. This day is also marked by various charity events and school picnics. People all around the world meet their friends and family and go on picnics. They generally used to carry food, outdoor games, soft drinks, juices, and other essentials to share it with their travel partners. According to the Guinness Book of World records, the largest Picnic took place in  Portugal. In Australia’s Northern Territory, the International picnic day is celebrated in August on the first Monday of each year. It is a popular concept in that area and the general public gets a day off on this day. Schools and Colleges are also shut on this day.

Asian people do not give any importance to the picnic day, and this day always celebrated in Australia and the U.S., Australian celebrate Picnic Day events since the late 1800s in Northern Territory. The Harts Range Races in Central Australia are held each Picnic Day long weekend. The races began in 1946 when three brothers Bennett, Quinton, and Kil Webb from Mount Riddock Station raced stockman Jack Schaber and the regional policeman Senior Constable Bob Darken over a distance of about a mile to the Ulgarna Yards to determine who had the fastest horse.

Moreover, in the U.S., Picnic Day is organized by a board of directors consisting of 18–20 students, ranging from different backgrounds and talents. Directors are full-time students and active participants of other extra-curricular activities and events at UC Davis. Every year, the board of directors selects a theme that will reflect the mission and vision of that year’s Picnic Day, and they also organized a different kind of themes and parade marshals each and every year since 1942 the themes started and in 1962 the parade marshal was started.

Here are some advantages and benefits of a picnic:

  1. Spending time outdoors, basking in nature, breathing fresh air, and enjoying a great view. The pure air invigorates you and leaves you feeling rejuvenated.
  2. Spending time with family is always a great bonding experience. In the fast-paced, urbane lifestyle of today, there is often limited time for maintaining relationships with some of the most important people in your life.
  3. Since picnics often take place in warm environments, the tendency to participate in relaxing small talk is high.
  4. While picnics offer many social benefits, you don’t have to spend the entire time chatting up a storm.
  5. Meals prepared and eaten at home are usually more nutritious and healthy than eating out and particularly so when you bring food for a picnic.
  6. Eating lunch outdoors is a natural mood booster. You can be amazed at how much the lack of sun in your body can affect your mood.
  7. Picnics are a great stress buster as it helps reduce the stress and anxiety related to work and home.

Please, spend time with family at outdoor and spread awareness regarding it.

“Valuing Picnics -This International Picnic Day”.

Human beings have been living on this planet since ages  working hard for their survival, finding food, water and shelter to life. These activities are still a part of many individuals as they do travel not for fun but for finding jobs and better homes. In earlier times, men used to stress a little less as they didn’t have much to worry  about. Spending Time with their family, friends and even animals and thus led a peaceful and happy life. In earlier times happiness meant to have proper food with loved ones, with water and shelter. But with the definition of happiness changed and transferred to things and materials. People were happy buying cars, bikes, homes and watching movies, playing video game and this got addicted to those. Man has spoilt his life working all day long, making his/ her feel like a couch potato. 

But sooner the idea of recreational activities started to flow and people became fascinated towards these thoughts . They often thought of going and doing these activities which included trekking, hiking, travelling to mountains, enjoying the beach, river crossing, paragliding, skydiving  and many more. People used to enjoy their weekoffs by these activities which not only helped them feel relaxed but also remain happy and spend time with their closeone. Excluding all these, there is one more activity, which people used to don, but has seen a significant decline which is Picnic. “Picnic” includes having meals outdoors, playing games and having the essence of nature and enjoying it. It generally includes a visit to outdoor having a better view, may be park, lakeside, or beachside or any it get, bring any individual close to nature and their close ones. People most often went on these drives and enjoyed picnics. Also “International Picnic Day” is celebrated around the world on 18th June and people around the world come together in their local areas and visit local parks, enjoy nature, lay down on sheets and have a better view of mountains or rivers or beaches while enjoying their food and many more. So it’s a day full of compassion, emotion, togetherness and understanding each other. 

But it seems to be reducing these days. People hardly have time for these or any recreation activities, working all day along working on their projects and the race to earn more money. This really affects relationship status with the close ones and even social relations. But the need of the hour is the shift one thoughts and priority from materialistic world to the more spiritual and show affection towards the living ones around us. Greed for money has led many dynasties to destroy, and relations to get smashed away. We need to understand that these times of happiness while on picnic or trekking or any other activity help us fight our bad times with our closed ones. This not only brings back the culture of sharing ideas but also shares out what any individual bus is going through. Support of family and friends help any individual to come up and win at any situation. 

“So the main motive of Picnic and other recreational activities is to understand and improve our relationships in this tough world, make more memories and aroma of happiness and enjoy nature and it’s beauty. Time needs to be devoted as the first priority to these activities, thus making our relationship strong, unity in thoughts and strength in the individual personalities”.

Although yoga has tremendous health benefits on the mind and body irrespective of the age of the practitioner, for seniors, the values of the benefits are more. Here I’m listing some benefits of yoga that seniors or old age people will easily relate to

Fitness and ability levels


Practicing yoga enhances one’s fitness level that results in an improved ability to do day to day work. There are numerous yoga postures available to strengthen the core and develop a strong foundation of the body. Yoga reduces the risk of falls in the case of seniors as it provides stability in the system.

Maintains equilibrium


Elderly people are often noticed with some unconscious movement of the body part, especially hand, yoga can help in improving this state of the body. Practicing yoga regularly creates equilibrium in the body and generates a certain level of awareness of the movements.

Improves flexibility


Yoga movements are so fantastic to generate an extra stretch in the body without causing any damage to the body. Flexibility in the muscles encourages the tissues to loosen and relax, which eventually helps to amplify their range of motion.

Encourage deep breathing


As yoga involves the coordination of breath and movements in the body, it results in expanding lung capacity to hold breaths for an extended period. Holding the breath for a longer period enhances the overall pulmonary health and respiratory function of the practitioner.

Bone strength


In elderly age, most people tend to have problems with brittle bones. Consistent practice of yoga can improve the weight-bearing power of the bones and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Some promising researches claim to improve bone density in the body by Yoga practices.

Alleviate anxiety and stress


Anxiety at an elderly age is not new to this generation. Yoga encourages mindfulness and calmness in the system and prevents the day to day stress through conscious breathing and meditation. Researchers claim that meditation stimulates memory centers inside the brain and reduces the risk of depression among seniors. Yoga activates the “feel-good” prefrontal cortex and boosts the emotional health of the practitioner.

Improved sleep quality


Sleep disturbance is a common problem among people of old age. Sleep deficiency at this age is linked to the increased risks of high blood pressure, heart strokes, diabetes, etc. Potential sleep ensures the removal of toxins from the body and allows the brain to function properly. Performing yoga daily can help to treat sleep disorders like insomnia, relaxing the tissues in the body, and encourages a better quality of sleep.

Yoga poses for seniors


No yoga pose is specially designed for a person belonging to a particular age. You can practice yoga at any age depending on your body limitations. Old age can be a miraculous part of life if you establish yourself in yoga. Yoga is one of those exercises which you can continue throughout all stages of life, as yoga itself is said to be the study of life.
As I mentioned that there is no pose specially designed for seniors, but if you are a beginner then it is recommended to start with some slow and light poses and then take it to the moderate level. Here are some beginners yoga poses for seniors to start with;

India-China Relation and The World

In the recent skirmish on the China-India border, both sides have suffered heavy losses. It has confirmed from the official statement from India that 20 soldiers have martyred and no official data has come from China yet Editor-in-chief of the Chinese government’s news magazine Global Times believes that the Chinese military also suffered casualties. It has been the old attitude of China that whenever there is more loss on its side, it does not share the correct information. We had seen this attitude in the case of Corona also. Although China tries to hide the exact and actual data, somehow it comes out from somewhere.


This incident of the violent skirmish between India and China is extraordinary because such an accident has occurred on the Chinese border the first time after 45 years. Colonel Santosh Babu, who martyred, was leading the Indian contingent during this astonishing incident. According to military sources, this violent skirmish in the Galvan valley started on Monday night due to the changing attitude of Chinese soldiers. The Chinese troops intended to capture L.A.C. through the Galvan valley. But Indian soldiers thwarted the Chinese plan.


The way China has done stabbing behind the back, it proves that China is the most dangerous and vicious enemy for India. All these activities proved that trusting China even more than a century can prove to be the biggest threat for India. In the coming times, there will be unexpected changes in the relationship between India and China. But one thing is clear that a dispute arises on three different boundaries simultaneously, it is a sign of spacious threat. Relations with Pakistan and China are always intense. But Nepal is a neighbouring country whose relationship was not disturbed till date, but by presenting a new map and passed an amendment in the lower house of their Parliament and claiming a small part of India near to the area of Kalapani is the part of Nepal. It is an unfortunate situation for us. Experts of international relations believe that all these concern are interlinked. Chinese Diplomacy transforms from peace to aggression. Their diplomatic policy has changed. If we compare China of the 21st century to the China of the 20th century, we will find an enormous gap between the low profile china diplomacy and leadership china diplomacy. They want all control over the world. China is trying to compete with the United States of America. But the Chinese do not know that they are not like USSR. They could not take the place of the United States of America.


China is a country whose reality was known to the whole world that they do anything to increase its dominance and borders. The way China told the world about the Corona Virus was too late. They hide ambiguous numbers of infected and dead people, revised several bills against it to suppress the violence in Hong Kong and increasing military activities in the South China Sea proves how China is creating an atmosphere of unrest around itself.

Recalling DEMONETIZATION- some unknown facts.

After the incident of 2016, it’s pretty clear that demonetization(NOTBANDI) is an act of removing or replacing a currency. The demonetized currency is no longer accepted as legal in a particular country. 2016 was not the first time India faced demonization. The nation stripped currency in the year 1946 for the very first time.

How many people lost their lives?

 Forbes says about 100 people have died due to demonetization. The reason found as patients didn’t get treatment as they were not able to make payments, some even committed suicide facing problems in marriage. India is a country where people offer dowry, but demonetization played its pebbles, people were not able to tie knots, and even if they did, they faced difficulties. A municipal employee, who was to get his daughter tied the knot on December 8, bankers who have been resisting him cash of up to Rs. 2.5 lakh on the pretext that he was not following RBI protocols. “It is horrible that the banks are refusing to give me my hard-earned money for my daughter’s wedding. I am unable to pay my debts as well,” he said.

Mr. Prathap Reddy, a headmaster of a government school, said his daughter was planning to get wedded on December 22 and he has not been able to buy anything due to the cash reversal. “I am struggling to get evidence of advance payments made to various persons. If I spend the entire time at banks trying to get the required cash, when will I distribute the wedding cards and make other purchases?” he sobbed.

There was no cash in the bank, where should they go to defend and express. Digital transactions cannot be implemented by a common man, so this option was knocked out. The point is demonstration was implemented just before the time of the wedding season and yes, in India people do not refuse dowry. In another city of Uttar Pradesh, the father of a bride was forced to mortgage jewelry he had prepared for his daughter to support a small pre-wedding ritual. Raju, a resident of Unnao, tried desperately to withdraw the money he had saved up for his daughter’s marriage but was repeatedly turned back by the bank. Raju, father of the bride says, “They kept asking me to come later. I didn’t know what to do. I had saved up enough money for my daughter’s wedding but it seems like a waste because I’ve not been able to withdraw anything. Finally, I had to mortgage her jewelry for the Tilak ceremony.https://www.dailyo.in/politics/demonetisation-Indian-weddings-hit-black-money-rs-500-rs-1000-note-ban/story/1/14242.html

Increase in digital payments.

Span of demonetization made me realize, in every crisis a middle-class man will suffer. I mean the line in front of the ATM was long but they were lacking bulky parties. People with heavy bank balances didn’t show up or suffered in the lines. However, the history of suspicious transactions led this decision to long term benefits. The government has totaled uncertain transactions in the range of Rs 1.6-1.7 lakh crore. Evidence summoned during demonetization led to the detection of nearly 300,000 questionable shell companies, out of which 210,000 have been deregistered. The income tax department has taken action against more than 1,150 shell companies. Countering terrorism was another major aim of demonization. The reports say it was successfully achieved. A positive impact of the demonstration was seen in terrorist affected districts and Naxal activities.

Inceldom: a scourge to the society

Incels or as they describe themselves as the involuntarily celibate, are slowly gaining prominence on various social platforms like reddit and 4chan. These are males who treat women like sexual objects and feel that their lack of a sex life is due to a large conspiracy that all females are doing. They feel that it is their right to have a prominent sex life and that women’s time, bodies, and sexual desires should be primarily centred around men. They can easily be ignored as sad pathetic men which they certainly are, but the fact is that they are very dangerous for the society should they be allowed to thrive. The incel community gains a strong foothold in sexually frustrated men who have had an unsuccessful romantic life. Their beliefs include that “masculinity” trumps over any other power, Their beliefs are anti-feminist and a majority of the community support the idea that women should simply be enslaved so as to improve the society or as one incel member wrote on a 4chan thread “Enslaving them would free up men’s time to focus on more constructive goals like curing diseases, developing technology, [etc.]. It would be effortless too. Women are too weak and incompetent to put up a fight.”

These days a new belief has started within the incel community called Dogpiling: an online theory that implies women are rejecting men to engage in sexual acts with dogs. While this isn’t a mainstream idea yet, dogpiling is a longstanding theory that is rapidly beginning to thrive. Despite a lack of evidence (where would they even get it?) the idea has maintained its hold and is now slowly creeping its way to the mainstream incel community. Dogpill believers claim that the very fact that “there are more posts online of women describing romantic feelings for dogs rather than male virgins”, supports their theory.

Now to understand this we need to understand two very different “movements”. The first being Men Going Their Own Way, or the MGTOWs, who due to having bad experience with woman specifically in the romantic region have chosen to forsake any involvement with women. And the other more radical “movement” being that of the incel, who claim that women are knowingly refusing to have sexual relations with them. Their ideolog encompasses that women who are sexually active are “sluts” and they demonise the women who have premarital sex. There are a lot od narratives out their but all falling under two categories where men demonise sexually active women and that the said women get a kick out of rejecting “good” men. Hence Dogpiling snugly fits between the two narratives, that women would have relations with dogs to satisfy their sex drives and subsequently reject “good” men. A chat moderator for the group explains that the idea probably evolved from the theory that women need strong alpha males in their lives and that they do not care if their mate is human or not if they satisfy the above criteria. Should someone still be thinking that this is the work of some awkward teenage boys trying to vent out their frustration, need it be reminded that a few incels have made headlines over the last several years, even linked to terrorist attacks. Both Elliot Roger and Alek Minassian were self-proclaimed incels and Are often heralded in the incel community.

Incel community is filled with men describing violent ways they have lashed out against the women who have “wronged” them. Inceldom encourages straight men to alienate themselves from society and creates a black-and-white worldview. These people believe that women are the cause for men’s problems are encourage each other to treat sexually active people like their enemies. These are a group of sick, misogynistic hostile filth in the form of humans, many of whom are way beyond help. Because in order to help these pathetic excuses for human beings, one would need to make them realize that they are wrong. But very often these men think that they are the “oppressed victims” of the women’s “atrocities”.

  Filth no matter what kind must be eradicated at some point, how this unfolds is for all of us to see.
