Could well-intentioned training sessions be amplifying biases rather than alleviating them? What happens when the tools designed to dismantle discrimination become instruments of further prejudice?A recent study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), in collaboration with Rutgers University, has ignited a contentious debate over the efficacy and impact of caste-based DEI training programs on Hindu Americans. The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has accused prominent media outlets, including The New York Times and Bloomberg, of suppressing t...

By P Mohan ChandranWhat happens when a man finds himself deeply in love with a woman? What drives him to put her happiness above his own, to protect her, to elevate her, and to cherish her? And why does her presence give him both strength and vulnerability, an exchange of power that forms the core of a truly profound partnership?At its best, love isn’t a mere exchange of affection; it’s a transformative partnership that both nurtures and strengthens. When a man truly loves a woman, he doesn’t see her as just a companion. She becomes his confidante, his motivation, and his emotional foundation. She becomes his soft spot, a source of vulnerability he willingly accepts, understanding that...

How genuine is the Congress party's commitment to secularism and minority protection? As Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party often position themselves as champions of secularism in India, a closer examination reveals glaring inconsistencies in their stance on minority rights.

Rainwater harvesting is one of the oldest ways of water delivery, having been practiced in South Asia and other countries for thousands of years. Evidence reveals that various forms of rainwater collection devices were in use approximately 2000 BC in India, China, Mesopotamia, and modern-day Israel. These systems frequently used huge rocks fashioned into basins with clay and other rocks to prevent leaks. The water was then stored and used for drinking, washing, agriculture, and other purposes.Normally rain water is harvested either by storing the Surface runoff or by recharging ground water. In the case of surface runoff type rain water harvesting, rainwater flows away as surface runoff and ...

Non-heritable modifications in morphological, physiological or biochemical characteristics tend to reduce or decrease growth and productivity, and sometimes lead to death. The Life of Plants in a Changing Environment presents an exhaustive overview of the specific effects and modifications that could occur in this regards, and will serve to consolidate the ideas to promote standardization of plant adaptation to these changes in the environment.

This book is, rather, a comprehensive review of all aspects of the responses of plants to changes in the environment.

A life-size marble statue of Antinous was unearthed, literally, in Delphi on 13 July 1894 – 130 years ago – by a team from the École française d'Athènes. (Fun fact: Antinous died in the year A.D. 130) To the archaeological team's stupefaction, it was found upright and almost intact, pedestal included. How was this possible?The most plausible explanation for the state in which the statue remained for centuries seems to me to be this: it was not left there to endure the ravages of time, but was deliberately buried. Hidden, in a word. Four points make me lean towards this hypothesis.1. To believe the statue was left to the ravages of time would mean believing that the statue would have b...
