The Shiromani GurdwaraParbandhak Committee(SGPC) has condemned therelease of a booklet titled 'SriKashi Vishwanath Dham KaGauravshali Itihas' by PrimeMinister Narendra Modi atthe inauguration of the Vish-wanath Dham Corridor anddemanded a complete ban onit.

In a press statement is-sued from SGPC office,SGPC media secretary S.Kulwinder Singh Ramdassaid that during the inaugura-tion of Vishwanath DhamCorridor, a booklet titled 'SriKashi Vishwanath Dham KaGauravshali Itihas' was re-leased and distributed as‘Parsad’ in large number bythe 'Information and PublicRelations Department' of theUttar Pradesh (UP) Govern-ment ruled by BJP, in which,the history of Sikh faith isdistorted and misrepresentedby relating it to Kashi.

The booklet states thatthe Panj Piaras (five belovedones) through whom theKhalsa Panth was founded byGuru Gobind Singh (tenth

Guru), were first sent toKashi, so that they may attainthe full knowledge of theSanatan Dharam and beready for its protection. Thebooklet also states that Sikhfaith was established to pro-tect the Sanatan Dharamfrom the Mughals. Boththese statements are devoidof facts, with illusory inten-tions and lack of knowledgeabout the mission of the Sikhfaith.

S. Kulwinder Singh saidthat in fact Khalsa Panth wasformed to protect religiousvalues and human rightsagainst oppression, tyrannyand injustice and not to pro-tect the Sanatan Dharam.Secondly, the five Sikhs sentto Kashi are totally differentfrom the Panj Piaras who of-fered heads at the time of theformation of the Khalsa at SriAnandpur Sahib.

People who usually ate meat shifted theirchoice to vegetarian food only when menuswere 75 per cent vegetarian, but not when 50per cent or 25 per cent of items were vegetari-an. Therefore, meat-eaters can change theirpreferences when given enough vegetarian op-tions to choose from, yet a large proportion ofthese options are needed to change fixed habitsfor consuming meat.

This new research involving Dr BethParkin at the University of Westminster and DrSophie Attwood from the World Resources In-stitute suggested that the food sector can have

a significant impact in promoting sustainablefood choices. The researchers argued that this

can be achieved by changing how the choice ispresented to the consumer without the need to

consciously persuade individuals of the bene-fits of pro-environmental diets. During thestudy, the researchers assessed how increasingthe availability of vegetarian food in relation tomeat impacted the choice of people who usual-ly eat meat. These types of interventions areknown as 'nudges', as they explored ways inwhich a decision can be designed to influencethe desired behaviour.

The study randomised participants tomenus that contained different ratios of meatand vegetarian dishes to determine exactly howmuch meat availability is needed to promotesustainable choices. It is thought that availabil-ity may have increased vegetarian food choiceby implicitly suggesting behavioural norms orby providing consumers with a wider range ofdesirable options.

The meat and dairy industries are large pol-luters accounting for approximately 25 per cent

of global emissions and if left unchallenged,the impact of the food system alone would pre-vent us from reaching targets laid out by theParis agreement. Incremental changes to ourdiet can have a big impact on carbon emissionswhen applied at a large scale, resulting in a sig-nificant reduction in domestic GHG emissions.

Dr Beth Parkin, the lead author of the studyfrom The University of Westminster, said,"This intervention shows the potential that thefoodservice sector has in creating large scaleshifts to encourage meat-eaters">meat eaters tochange their preferences. The findings providepractical instruction on what percentage oftheir food offerings should be vegetarian ifthey are to succeed in encouraging sustainableeating behaviours. If the foodservice industryis to decrease their carbon footprint, they needto act by providing far more plant-based itemsthan currently on offer."

EDITORIAL

A false alarmThere has been considerable parliamentary de-

bate on the population control bill. The two-child policy has been tabled in Parliament over

35 times since Independence but has failed to becomea law. The population control bill, 2019 proposed tointroduce a two-child policy per couple and aims toincentivize its adoption through educational benefits,free healthcare, better employment opportunities,home loans, and tax cuts. There have also been de-mands to penalize couples not adhering to the policyby debarring them from running for office or applyingfor government jobs. Assam, Maharashtra, Odisha,Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Telanganaand Andhra Pradesh have a kind of two-child normthat determines eligibility to be elected in panchayatsor employed in government jobs.

India’s liberal democracy provides for individualrights as enshrined in the various articles of the Con-stitution. An inviolable feature of individual rights isthe identification of boundaries against the reach ofthe State. Article 22 of the 1969 Declaration on SocialProgress and Development adopted by the United Na-tions General Assembly in Resolution 2542 ensuresthat couples have the right to choose freely and re-sponsibly the number of children they will have. Thepolicy to control and regulate the number of childrenviolates such constitutional rights as Article 16 (equalopportunity in matters of public employment) and Ar-ticle 21 (protection of life and liberty). The ministryof health and family welfare suggests that India’s fam-ily welfare programme is voluntary.

The proposed population control bill would haveconstitutional repercussions. First, the bill does notconsider the case of divorced citizens and Muslimpersonal laws. A divorced person, who has childrenwith a former partner, cannot bear a child with his/herpresent spouse. The bill could also infringe the tenetsof Islamic laws. Moreover, coercive population con-trol measures would encourage sex-selection and un-safe abortion given the collective desire for a malechild. In India, family planning is considered to be theresponsibility of women. However, the current policyis not effective in meeting the demand for family plan-ning. The National Family Health Survey 2015-16showed that about 13 per cent of women aged 15-49wanted to prevent or delay pregnancy but were notprovided with contraceptives. Women resort to abor-tions as an alternative, jeopardizing their health andincreasing unlawful practices. According to a study byLancet, 15.6 million abortions took place in India in 2015.

SheShe who ever had remained inthe depth of my being,in the twilight ofgleams and ofglimpses;she who neveropened her veils inthe morning light,will be my last giftto thee, my God, folded in myfinal song. Words have wooedyet failed to win her;persuasion has stretched to her itseager arms in vain.I have roamed from country tocountry keeping her in the coreof my heart, and around her haverisen and fallen the growth anddecay of my life.

South Asia faces environmentalwatershed amid climate change

South Asian region is facing an envi-ronmental watershed from rising sealevels endangering the Maldives and

melting of glaciers affecting Nepal andAfghanistan to overdevelopment thatthreatens Tibet's vital ecosystem anddestabilisation caused by climate-inducedmigration, an expert panel discussionhighlighted during a webinar on Wednes-day.

In the wake of COP-26, at a December15 virtual seminar, London-based NGOThe Democracy Forum (TDF) assembleda panel of experts from a range of regionsand disciplines to address this pressing is-sue, and discuss what solutions might befound. TDF President Lord Bruce, duringhis opening address, warned that dramaticevidence of natural disasters, triggered byclimate change, is fast accumulatingacross South Asia, and spoke of the vul-nerability of the region's urban poor to cli-mate change.

He said that the webinar is built on anearlier TDF panel event in March, whichhighlighted the regional impact of envi-ronmental degradation of the TibetanPlateau - ecological damage which, theDalai Lama said at a 2015 Climate Con-ference in Paris, affects 'billions of humanlives in China, India, Pakistan andBangladesh'.

He had also said that environmentaldegradation is 'not a question of one na-tion or two nations [but] is [nothing less]than the survival of humanity.

While the concluding communique is-sued by the Glasgow Climate Conferenceoffers, South Asian countries a path to re-ducing the output of greenhouse gases andmitigating the worst effects of rising tem-peratures and unstable weather, said LordBruce, it is an inescapable truth that fartoo many people living in the region arelikely not only to experience the veryworst outcomes but also face very few op-portunities to escape the fateful effects.Offering a broad perspective on climate

issues affecting South Asia, Dr ShaliniDhyani, South Asia Regional Chair forIUCN Commission on Ecosystems Man-agement, examined growing disaster risksin the region due to climate change andextreme climate events, as well as the im-pact of the disaster on social-ecologicalsystems and how ecosystem-based partic-ipatory approaches can provide better so-lutions than technological ones. She spokeof the 16, 000 ghost villages in India, aspeople migrate from Himalayan villagesdue to loss of livelihood, basic amenities,and land degradation, and concluded thatnatural solutions can provide long-termanswers, with many co-benefits for com-munities.

Tempa Gyaltsen Zamlha, Deputy Di-rector of the Tibet Policy Institute, ad-dressed the question of the TibetanPlateau's huge significance for South Asia.

At over 4,000m above sea level, thismassive landmass- considered the highestand largest plateau on Earth - stretches foran area of 2.5 million sq. km, and is re-

ferred to variously as the 'Roof of theWorld', the 'Third Pole', the 'Water Towerof Asia' and the 'Rain Maker of Asia, onaccount of the vast presence of glaciers,making it the chief source of Asia's tenlargest and most important rivers, givingbirth to some to the greatest Asian civili-sations of the past and directly feeding 1.8billion people in the south and SoutheastAsia today. The Plateau influences notonly climate across South Asia - eg thetiming and intensity of Indian monsoons -but also across Europe and North Ameri-ca, so, understanding climate changewould be incomplete with studying Ti-betan Plateau, However, Zamlha warnedthat, as a result not only of climate changebut also destructive and wrong policies bythe Chinese government, there have beenan unprecedented number of natural dis-asters, such as landslides and avalanches -a situation further aggravated by Chineseconstruction of dams on Tibetan rivers,which also threaten to cause seismic ac-tivity.

Transboundary water politics and theirinfluence on water and climate changepolicy in South Asia was the focus for DrSumit Vij, a Postdoctoral Researcher atWageningen University & Research, whoposed the question of whether the watercrisis in South Asia will turn into waterwars - although he believed this to be a'false narrative'. He spoke of the co-min-gling of water and security issues, withwater becoming a pawn to multidimen-sional conflicts in the region - for exam-ple,the Taliban attack on the India-builtFriendship Dam in Afghanistan. Water isbecoming part of a larger militarisation,said Dr Vij, but the focus should insteadbe on strategies of cooperation to pullSouth Asia out of 'frozen conflicts', gover-nance and management of transboundarynatural resources, and the use of powerfultools such as diplomacy and dialogue.

Challenges facing South Asia, partic-ularly from a water perspective, was anarea of concern for Dr Naho Mirumachi,Reader in Environmental Politics atKing's College London, who consideredthe varied and interconnected nature ofenvironmental and water issues, as well aswhat water is being used for, and why is itis an environmental 'crisis'.She looked atthe role of agriculture and agri-businesses,the biggest water users, which are drain-ing on other purposes, such as drinkingwater or water for sanitation, recognisedas basic human rights. Dr Mirumachi alsohighlighted the pitfalls of seeing the situ-ation through a 'crisis' lens, saying thatviewing the problem as a 'natural' phe-nomenon ignores its political and socio-economic aspects and thus absolves statesof responsibility to take action on behalfof their citizens.

This socio-political context was alsoraised by Dr Kasia Paprocki, AssociateProfessor in Environment at the LSE, whospoke on the political aspects of climatecrisis discourse in Bangladesh, includinglocal implications and contestations.

Pressure to be 'perfect' causes mentalhealth issues for teenage girls

Pressure from schools andfamilies to live up to so-ciety's expectations of

the "ideal" girl and be "good"causes mental health issues inteenage girls, a study shows.

Cultures in schools and athome contribute to anxiety ingirls from all backgrounds, re-search published in the journalEducational Review hasfound. Pressure to achievehigh grades, be popular andbeautiful, and participate inextra-curricular activities canlead to mental health issues.

This is more commonwhen girls are fearful about thefuture, face pressures at homeand encounter a competitiveculture in schools.

A team of researchersfrom the University of Exeter,Dr Lauren Stentiford, DrGeorge Koutsouris and DrAlexandra Allan, reviewed ex-isting research into girls' men-tal health emerging from peer-reviewed qualitative literaturebetween 1990 and 2021. Theyfound 11 studies from aroundthe world.

Evidence suggests thatolder teenage girls are atgreater risk of developingmental health difficulties thanboys, and the located studiesindicated that mental health is-sues were likely in some wayrelated to the pressures to ob-tain high grades at school.

Social pressures for girlsto be "good" students, "well-rounded" and high achievers,had an impact on how teach-ers, families and pupils under-stand achievement, and pres-sures. Dr Stentiford, who ledthe study, said, "We hope ourwork has drawn further atten-tion to the growing issue of

girls' mental ill-health, howschools might be implicated inits production, and mightspark further conversationaround this important andpressing topic." "We foundmuch anxiety around achieve-ment was grounded in fears forthe future - and more specifi-cally, the need to have a 'good'future and be 'happy'. This in-cluded getting into a 'good'university and securing a high-status job with good pay. Girlsfelt that if they did not achievehigh grades at school and beable to fulfil these goals, theywould have 'failed' and wouldbe unhappy.

HIMLA:To safeguard India from mounting cyber and financial fraud cases, the SReserve Bank of India rolled out a

landmark decision in September 2021. The new regulation by the central bank permitted the payments networks and issuer Banks to offer card tokenization services as Token Service Providers (TSPs) to the e-commerce Merchants and Payment Aggregators starting 01 January 2022. This permission is an extension to the device-based tokenization services provided by payments network. Tokenization is a mechanism to replace card numbers with a token, i.e., avirtual number, specific to a merchant.When a consumer logs into a merchant app or website, where their card details were stored, they only see the last 4 digits of the original card number. At the backend, TSPs will replace the card number with a token, ensuring that card details are not stored anywhere in the value chain, except for issuer banks and the networks. The process makes card-based transactions safer and more reliable. The process of tokenization will be based on consumer consent, validated through an additional factor authentication. For consumers, who have their card details stored on multiple e-commerce merchants, their card details will be converted into token if they transact before 1st Jan 2022. Post the deadline, the consumer will have to enter their details one time to convert into tokens. For all subsequent transactions, consumers can continue to enjoy the single-click checkout experience.

Card-on-File Tokenization will usher in a new era of safer digital payments: Mastercard

its creation for the last 6decades, but with thecreation of this Act, otherActs have been changedgradually according to thetime and need. This has beenhappening but since then noamendment has been madein this Act, due to which itspenal provisions havebecome incapable ofprotecting animal interestsand proved to be inadequatein preventing animal cruelty.

He said that at the timeof its creation in the Act,causing any kind of injury to

animals, violence, incitingthem to fight, a penalty of ?50 was fixed which was ahuge amount at that time buta fine of ? 50 now seemsridiculous, to preventunnecessary injury to anyanimal, the amount of fineshould be so much that theperson causing the injurybecomes compelled to thinkonce before hurting theanimal again and teach it toothers. Dr Muni said that theModi government wasamending a lot of rules andregulations, but our demand

was pending for a long time.To satisfy the feelings ofnon-violence lovers, thegovernment should bring abill to amend the law in thiswinter session. He hasrequested to revise thepenalty as a punishment forthe offense specially decidedfor committing cruelty toanimals. Also, Section 31 ofthis subsection needs toinclude Section (11)(1)(a) to(11)(1)(0) and Section 38.which recognizescognizance of offenses underthe Act.
