By : MAITREESH GHATAK

there has been a lot of discus-sion in the public domain latelyabout dynasties and nepotism infields ranging from the film world topolitics. Let’s look at nepotism.What is wrong with people going in-to a family business or following thefamily tradition into professionssuch as medicine, acting, or politics?the obvious answer is that this givesthe person an unfair advantage be-cause those with similar abilitiesand who have put in as much effortcould have very different outcomes,depending on their background.One could argue that while this istrue, those who get an opportunitythrough family ties still have to per-form well. So, from a broader per-spective, isn’t there a zero-sum as-pect to this? One person getting afavour deprives another person, butthe total gains and losses cancel out,don’t they? this is not true.Nepotism imposes not just individ-ual costs but wider social and eco-nomic costs. those with family con-nections don’t face the same level ofcompetition as outsiders, exactly asdomestic companies face much lesscompetition when there are importbarriers. breaking in is much harderfor an outsider than it is for an insid-er as the pool of outsiders is muchwider and those who have the talent

may never get the opportunity toshowcase it. therefore, there is aloss of potential output or value tosociety because of the resulting mis-allocation of talent. that is a directnegative effect. there is comprehen-sive evidence that family firms areoften beset by inefficiency, with badmanagement affecting the produc-tivity of the entire organisation.there are further indirect negativeeffects of nepotism on efficiency. If itis known that rewards depend onconnections and not on effort and

initiative, it would divert people’s ef-forts away from productive work tonetworking and lobbying. So, howdoes nepotism persist? Why aren’tthere some corrective forces at workthat would chip away at the ineffi-ciencies and let talent blossom?Standard economic logic would im-ply that market competition wouldpush out bad products and bad per-formers. After all, talent is a re-source and if it is inefficiently de-ployed, it should be in someone’s in-terest to exploit a market opportuni-

ty — exactly as we would expect landthat could be prized real estate not toremain unused. there are two mainreasons why this may not happen.

First, there are often explicitbarriers to competition. this givesincumbent groups monopoly powerand enables inefficient practicessuch as nepotism to flourish.examples of such entry barriers in-clude economic institutions such asmonopolies, syndicates and cartels;social institutions such as the castesystem and patriarchy; and policiesthat prevent the inflow of workers,goods and services from outside,such as anti-immigration laws andprotectionism. Here, potential com-petitors are explicitly excluded and,therefore, insiders get undue advan-tage because of restricted competi-tion. However, the losses of out-siders and the gains of insiders donot cancel each other out. because ofrestricted competition, there is aloss to society from lack of access tothe best technologies, products,skills and services. Second, a lessopen and subtle channel of nepo-tism has to do with the fact that incertain domains, it is not easy tocome up with an objective measureof quality. It is hard for a bad mobilephone to survive in the market or amediocre sportsperson to surviveinternational competition. the ordi-

Amnesty’s exit erodes Indian democracyBy : KARAN THAPAR

do you recall the pride withwhich Narendra Modi used to re-fer to India as the world’s largestdemocracy? He said it frequentlyin his early years as prime minis-ter. No one could refute the adjec-tive. It’s indisputably correct. thenoun, however, can be ques-tioned. India holds regular elec-tions and frequently changes gov-ernments. We believe we have anindependent judiciary and partsof the press are free and fearless.but these are the outward trap-pings of democracy. At its heart isrespect for human rights. A lot hashappened in the last six years toquestion our government’s re-spect for this democratic core.Amnesty was often the loudestvoice to speak out. Not just thecrackdown in Jammu andKashmir or the police handling ofthe February riots in delhi,Amnesty also raised its voiceagainst abuses by the securityforces, the anti-terror and sedi-tion laws often used to suppressdissent, the Armed Forces(Special Powers) Act, the Sikhmassacre of 1984 and, of course,for freedom of speech. It was athorn in the side of the govern-ment and proud of it. but it was al-so the champion of the peopleand, therefore, won our gratitude.

Now I can’t comment on theveracity of the charges broughtagainst Amnesty. It’s accused ofcircumventing India’s laws and

receiving money under dubiousjustifications. Amnesty has stren-uously denied this. the Modi gov-ernment says even its ManmohanSingh-led predecessor was forcedto act against Amnesty. thatproves this is not partisan or polit-ical. Amnesty is guilty of deliber-ate defiance of India’s laws. butAmnesty says this is a vendetta.the government is infuriated byAmnesty’s exposures and wantsrid of it. Now I have a simple pointto make. even if, for argument’ssake, you accept Amnesty is in thewrong, a wise democracy wouldthink carefully about what steps itshould take. Why? because anyaction that forces Amnesty to shutshop and leave “the world’s largest

democracy” can only be to ourdetriment and, indeed, our ulti-mate shame. Amnesty may needto be admonished but the punish-ment should never shut the dooron the invaluable, actually, irre-placeable, work it does. It’s notribute to India that Amnesty hasdecided to withdraw from “theworld’s largest democracy”. thisplaces India in the dubious com-pany of countries where Amnestycannot function like Pakistan andchina. Now we appear no betterthan them. At this point, let’s re-turn to the boast about being theworld’s largest democracy. It’s notsomething we say to ourselves.Many of us are gullible enough tobelieve it. It’s said to the rest of the

world in the hope of convincingthem. but does the world believewe’ve treated Amnesty fairly andproperly? Or do they acceptAmnesty has been punished forrepeatedly exposing the increas-ing hollowness of India’s democ-racy?

On the issue of human rights,Amnesty’s standing is far higherthan that of the Government ofIndia. I’m not just referring to theModi government but all its pred-ecessors and, in particular, that ofIndira Gandhi. I concede thatAmnesty has its flaws. After all, itsfounder, Peter benenson, re-signed from the organisationclaiming in 1966 it had been infil-trated by the british ForeignOffice and MI-6. but few believedhim and in 1977 Amnesty won theNobel Peace Prize. the citationcalled it “A light in the darkness”.For tens of thousands of prisonersof conscience, this was the truth.Now that light is going out of ourlives. the first time this happenedwas in 1948. Gandhi’s assassina-tion deprived newly-independentIndia of its conscience. Amnesty’sdeparture would mean a voicethat reminds us how frequentlywe fall short of our values will besilenced. It was often an irritatingvoice, but always a necessary one.the fact it could be heard was re-assuring proof our democracy,though at times limping, wasmoving forward. If we no longerhear it, will the silence comfort“the world’s largest democracy”?

the presence of hormone-dis-rupting bisphenol-A in microplas-tics not only stymies growth and de-velopment, it undermines thebody’s immunity. Microplastics areharming our health in more waysthan one. At a time when humanityis battling the cOVId-19 pandemic,natural human immunity is essen-tial and of incalculable importance.However studies have shown thatmicroplastics undermine humanimmunity. the presence of hor-mone-disrupting bisphenol-A inmicroplastics not only stymiesgrowth and development, it playshavoc with our hormones and se-verely undermines the body’s natu-ral immune system. Apart fromthis, there has been an exponentialrise in health problems pertainingto the gastro-intestinal tract.research is increasingly showingthat invisible microplastic particlesand polymers in our immediate en-vironment, such as drinking waterand food, are emerging as a majorcause for worsening human health.

the problem is not new but thesymptoms are exceedingly assum-ing new dimensions as newer hu-man health and environmental

problems are emerging. Accordingto the National OceanicAtmospheric Administration andthe european chemicals Agency’sclassification, any plastic bit that isless than five millimetre in lengthconforms to the definition of a mi-croplastic. Any ingestion of this di-rectly exposes human organs to avariety of harmful chemicals andpesticides present in them thatcause adverse health conditionssuch as obesity, gastro problems,developmental issues and otherbody organ related damage.Microplastics that are less than 25microns are able to enter the respi-ratory tract and those that are fivemicron in size are able to get lodgedin the lung tissue. this can cause se-rious health problems. Across theworld, microplastics are now con-sidered as the new atmospheric pol-lutant and the near invisibility ofthese fragments makes them evenmore harmful. One can judge thisby the fact that at many locationsacross the world, the average mi-croplastics and fibres in our ambi-ent environment are less than 300microns in size. the average humanhair is of 50-70 microns in diame-ter, whereas the smallest particle ahuman eye can see is about 40 mi-

crons. this gives us a perspectiveregarding the pollutant and its sizeand how this creation of mankind isescaping all global efforts to rein itin. As we relentlessly create a “plas-tic planet”, the scale of its genera-tion is growing by leaps andbounds. According to a study pub-lished in Science Advances, some420 million tonnes of plastics wereproduced in 2015, which is up fromjust over two million tonnes in

1950. this 65-year period saw near-ly six billion tonnes of plastic end-ing up either in a landfill or in theenvironment. the oceans, too, havenot been spared with nearly 51 tril-lion microplastics floating in themtoday, according to a study pub-lished in research journal IOPScience. the conditions closerhome are not encouraging as stud-ies are showing how India’s coast-

he new education policy stresses on building a knowledge econo-

my driven by skills and it stresses on achieving it through a multi-

lingual framework. the NeP stresses on the usage of local lan-

guage till at least class 5 and preferably till class 8. In total it focus on stu-

dents having command over 3 languages, 2 of which need to be native. It

also aims to standardize the Sign Language across the country for stu-

dents with hearing impairment. All in all, this is a welcome move as it sets

the tone for creating an ecosystem where the state and center have to in-

vest in hiring teachers, well versed in local languages. they will also invest

in the preparation of the curriculum in different languages. For the stu-

dents, it’ll be quite a task but at the same time, it’ll sow the seeds of cultur-

al assimilation. In today’s corporate setup, one of the biggest challenges

of team management is integration of people from different cultural

backgrounds. With NeP, students will find it easier to get along with peo-

ple across different cultures and languages. However, what’ll truly do

justice to the cause would be an enhancement in the teaching pedagogy.

there is a need to revamp the teaching style in a manner where languages

are celebrated and experienced through art, music and culture. the true

essence of a language can only be absorbed if it’s linked to culture and his-

tory. Unfortunately, this is where our education system has suffered.

Sanskrit forms a glaring example in this context. Students from classes

5th to 8th mostly questioned the importance and relevance of Sanskrit

and studied it as just a part of the curriculum mostly to score good marks

or pass the exam. However, when Sanskrit was linked to our cultural texts

and was celebrated as artificial intelligence-friendly language by various

research organizations, it suddenly seemed relevant and novel. today, we

have different universities and colleges which have seen a spike in stu-

dents enrolling for Sanskrit. the key is to make learning experiential. Our

teaching methods have for long been based on rote learning which has

done little good for students except for fetching them good grades. the

National education Policy makes it loud and clear: Skills are the new

grades. education 2.0, especially post coronavirus, has to focus on skills

and deliverables. today coding, data analytics and digital marketing are

the skills required for a bright future. coupled with multilingualism,

these skills can also stoke the entrepreneurial spirit in students. Often

times, language is a barrier in entrepreneurship, as budding entrepre-

neurs are often hesitant in expanding across cities and states but with a

multilingual approach, they can overcome this barrier. India with all its

diversity in terms of culture and languages has enormous potential in

terms of tourism that is waiting to be unleashed. today the global It gi-

ants are investing huge amounts to cater to people who are better versed

in regional languages. We see that on social media and messaging sites

and that has given a huge boost to their numbers. today, every business

is looking to hire people well versed in different regional languages with a

hope to expand in those respective territories. From the content on digital

streaming platforms to translated books, multilingualism is a part of not

just our cultural ethos but also a tremendous commercial opportunity.

However, our past shows that there have been many opportunities that

came our way and we blew them. In the 90’s and early 2000’s we saw an

It revolution in India, but we failed to take it to the next level and didn’t

create a strong ecosystem for creativity in India. We were content with

product testing and offshoring jobs rather than creating a new break-

through software or a search engine. We could’ve created the next Google

or Facebook and we could have had a silicon valley of our own but we fell

woefully short.

732 : Battle of toursAt the battle of tours near Poitiers, France, Frankish leader charles

Martel, a christian, defeats a large army of Spanish Moors, halting the

Muslim advance into Western europe. Abd-ar-rahman, the Muslim

governor of cordoba, was killed in the fighting, and the Moors retreated

from Gaul, never to return in such force. charles was the illegitimate son

of Pepin, the powerful mayor of the palace of Austrasia and effective ruler

of the Frankish kingdom. After Pepin died in 714 (with no surviving legit-

imate sons), charles beat out Pepin’s three grandsons in a power struggle

and became mayor of the Franks. He expanded the Frankish territory

under his control and in 732 repulsed an onslaught by the Muslims.

Victory at tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the

carolingians.

the reserve bank of India expects the economy to contract by 9.5 per

cent this year. Is it being too optimistic? the Monetary Policy committee

of the reserve bank of India has decided to keep interest rates steady for

the time being but with a more accommodative stance, which one could

read as allowing banks to be more liberal with disbursals. the meeting

ended and the stock exchanges celebrated by climbing, not massively but

still enough to display their approval of the decision. the rbI, however, ex-

pected the economy to contract by 9.5 per cent in the 2020-21 fiscal,

thanks to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent

lockdown. However, one must ask whether the rbI is being a bit too opti-

mistic, with several financial firms and ratings agencies predicting that

reason behind the rbI’s optimism? Some of rbI’s meas-

ures include rationalisation of risk weights to all new hous-

ing loans until March 2022, which is expected to ease cred-

it availability for the real estate sector. Across several in-

dustries, demand has been picking up even before the start

of the festive season. car companies saw wholesale orders

pick up dramatically in September. Sales of computers,

mobile phones and other electronic peripherals have also

increased dramatically. While some industries have

changed forever thanks to the pandemic, things are even

improving in sectors like hospitality. deep Kalra, chief

executive of online travel agency MakeMytrip, mentioned

in the Pioneer conversations that hotels and resorts are

getting booked out for weekends and people are indulging

in “revenge travel.” Sure, things are not back to normal and

they may never go back to normal or even recapture the

sense of business as usual for at least another two years.

However, things are improving and may be the third and

fourth quarters of this fiscal year will be stronger than that

of the past year and that is why the overall decline for the

entire year could be less than expected. At the end of the

day, economic growth is a confidence game and if that is re-

turning in the economy, it is contingent upon the

Government and the rbI to ensure that it is sustained.

India has not jumped in with a massive demand-side inter-

vention as yet but slight rate cuts in GSt or even direct tax-

es could see India’s top consuming class really start spend-

ing more, which might help India emerge even stronger

from the pandemic. but we still feel it is too early to have

such an optimistic outlook.

nary consumer can separate the good from the bad andthe marketplace would tend to weed out the bad. but formany professions, quality or performance is not that visi-ble or cannot be readily and independently verified. In thecase of research, for example, evaluation of quality isbased on peer-review. by their very nature, these opin-ions are based on information and judgement that out-siders cannot hold up to scrutiny.

therefore, to the extent the opinions of experts, refer-rals, reputation, endorsements, and networks are neces-sary to certify quality in any field, they become a potentialbreeding ground for nepotism. Of course, nepotism is justone of the symptoms of a much of broader issue the lackof mobility. In a mobile society, where family backgrounddoes not determine what occupation someone enters orwhere one is located a lot of the kind of conflicts (pro-

farmer vs pro-business, pro-worker vs pro-industry) wesee around us would be less relevant. even though aver-age levels of income and educational outcomes have im-proved following economic liberalisation, mobility re-mains low overall, whether in occupation or educationalattainment. How to facilitate mobility is the real chal-lenge, not the stale debate about redistribution versusgrowth. Policies that reduce the barriers that the less-ad-vantaged face usually come from the Left, while reformsthat facilitate greater competition are advocated by theright. these are, in fact, complementary as far as mobilityis concerned: the greater the competition in product andlabour markets, the higher the demand for talent andskills, and policies helping the disadvantaged but merito-rious acquire necessary skills and training will push upsupply.

lines are suffering from the impact of microplastics. Insouthern-most India, microplastics are emerging as amajor pollutant and the marine environment, especiallyalong the Kanyakumari coast, is falling victim. thesefindings came to light in the recent study conducted bythe department of remote Sensing, bharathidasanUniversity, tamil Nadu. the study covered eight differ-ent sampling stations along the 71-kilometre- long coast-line comprising both urbanised and non-urbanised natu-ral beaches. the tourist beaches and fishing hotspots sawhigh incidence of microplastic concentration, thanks tohuman influence. this study gave baseline data thathelped researchers understand the occurrence and dis-tribution of microplastics in near shore sediments.

the role of microplastics can be curtailed through im-pactful Government regulations and policies. India hasboth but what is missing is the comprehensive and effec-tive implementation of the same. even today, at all urbancentres, one can still see shoppers and business owners

using plastic bags and covers. It is surprising how theGovernment is unable to come down heavily on the man-ufacturers of polythene bags and covers. Neither is theGovernment concerned about waste segregation so thatplastic carry bags do not get mixed with recyclable waste.these conditions point to the apathy of the Governmenttowards this rising problem. In order to flush the systemof plastics, the Government must conduct an audit of howmuch demand exists for these products and identify thesuppliers. then, district Industries centres (dIc) in ar-eas where these manufacturers are located must ensurethat notice is served for ending production. Later, thedIc, along with a financial institution and a technical ex-pert, can work out an alternative and eco-friendly prod-uct portfolio for these businesses. the Government mustaddress the concerns of the manufacturers regardingprofitability and viability besides addressing technicalhurdles. this alone will help prevent them from slippingback to producing plastic products.

Participants will be given ei-ther the bcG vaccine, currentlygiven to more than 100 millionbabies worldwide each year, in-cluding in India, to protectagainst tb, or a placebo injec-tion.

the bcG vaccine boosts im-munity by training the immunesystem to respond to other sub-sequent infections with greaterintensity. researchers hope thisimproved innate immunity willbuy crucial time to develop aneffective and safe vaccineagainst cOVId-19.

times in its severest forms. bcGhas been shown to boost immu-nity in a generalised way, whichmay offer some protectionagainst cOVId-19, saidProfessor John campbell fromexeter University, who is theUK lead for the brAce study.

We're excited to be con-tributing to the large-scale, in-ternational brAce study wherewe are seeking to establishwhether the bcG vaccine couldhelp protect people who are atrisk of cOVId-19. If it does, wecould save lives by administer-ing or topping up this readilyavailable and cost-effective vac-cination, he said.

In the UK, routine bcG vac-cination which dates as far backas the 1920s was stopped in2005 because of low rates of tbin the general population.

Previous studies suggestthat the bcG vaccine could re-duce susceptibility to a range ofinfections caused by viruses in-cluding those similar to the nov-el coronavirus causing cOVId-19. examining the mechanismby which this may work is partof the trial being conducted bybrAce researchers.

the UK arm of trial is ini-tially recruiting care home andhealthcare workers in thesouth-west of england, who canattend clinics in exeter. It is tar-geting these professionals be-

cause they work in fields withhigh exposure to cOVId-19 andis specifically looking atwhether the bcG vaccine re-duces coronavirus infection orcOVId-19 symptom severity.

Prof. campbell added:People on the cOVId-19 front-line, including healthcare work-ers and care home workers, areparticularly vulnerable to coro-navirus infection. Up until now,care home workers have beenoverlooked by most research.

the brAce trial providesus with a great opportunity tooffer potential help to this im-portant group of individualswho are providing healthcare tosome of our most vulnerable cit-izens in important communitysettings.

the university said that theUK trial will be conducted bythe exeter clinical trials Unitand supported by the localNational Institute for Healthresearch funded clinicalresearch Facility.

Lynne Quinn, Operationsdirector of exeter ctU, said thetrial is initially seeking to re-cruit 1,000 participants whowork in care homes and othercommunity healthcare settings.

the first wave of recruit-ment will take place in andaround exeter, and we have ex-citing plans to expand to othersites across the UK, so we hopeto be expanding our recruit-ment numbers at a later stage,she said.

the UK joins the study be-

ing coordinated by the Murdochchildren's research Institute(McrI) in Melbourne,Australia, with centres inAustralia, the Netherlands,Spain, and brazil as part of thelargest trial of its kind.

together, the trial will re-cruit more than 10,000 health-care staff and has received morethan USd 10 million from thebill and Melinda GatesFoundation to allow its globalexpansion, with the PeterSowerby Foundation support-ing the exeter University trialsite in britain.

Professor Nigel curtis, glob-al lead of the brAce trial atMcrI in Australia, said: We aredelighted that the UK is joiningthis international trial to helpdetermine if we can repurposean existing safe vaccine to re-duce the impact of cOVId-19 inhealthcare workers, includingthose working in care homeswho are at particular risk.

Participants will be asked tocomplete a daily symptom diaryvia an app, be tested for cOVId-19 whenever they have symp-toms, complete regular ques-tionnaires and provide bloodsamples. these samples will al-low scientists to understandhow blood cells respond differ-ently to exposure to cOVId-19and other viruses, with andwithout the bcG vaccine.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi,former prime minister andsenior PML(N) leader, saidthat Maryam, daughter of for-mer prime minister NawazSharif, would address the rallyon October 18.

She will address the rally.the momentum has now beenbuilt against the governmentand is in fact a reflection of thepeople's annoyance over thecurrent situation in the coun-try, Abbasi said.

Abbasi said that Maryam'sappearance at the rally willboost the confidence of thepeople in the PdM.

the schedule announcedearlier showed that the firstrally would be held on October18 in Quetta.

the change was made atthe request of PakistanPeoples Party (PPP), one ofthe main Opposition parties inthe alliance, which commem-orates the day October 18 topay homage to victims of

Brazil reaches 150,000deaths from COVID-19

milestoneRio de Janeiro, Oct 11

brazil's count of cOVId-19 deaths surpassed150,000, despite signs the pandemic is slowly retreat-ing in Latin America's largest nation. the brazilianHealth Ministry on Saturday reported that the deathtoll now stands at 150,198. the figure is the world'ssecond highest behind the United States, according tothe tally maintained by Johns Hopkins University.the milestone has rekindled the pain of NaianeMoura, a sales consultant, who lost her fatherelivaldo to cOVId-19 in April. the 58-year-old post-man had no prior illness and battled cOVId-19 forseven days in a public hospital in Manaus, brazil'slargest city in the Amazon. When I see 150,000, I seemy father alongside many other faceless bodies,Moura said by phone. I didn't imagine that we wouldreach that number. I don't believe that we will ever beable to totally overcome this. brazil's far-rightPresident Jair bolsonaro played down the severity ofthe virus while deaths mounted rapidly in brazil. the65-year-old president flouted social distancing atlively demonstrations and encouraged crowds duringoutings from the presidential residence. bolsonarorejected governors' and mayors' lockdowns and othertough measures to contain the virus' spread, even af-ter he contracted it himself in July, and insisted thatshutting down brazil's economy would pitch the na-tion into chaos.

South Korea on Sunday urgedNorth Korea to commit to its pastdisarmament pledges while ex-pressing concerns over the North'sunveiling of a suspected new long-range missile during a military pa-rade. during celebrations markingthe 75th birthday of its ruling partyin Pyongyang on Saturday, NorthKorea paraded a variety of weaponssystems, including two missilesthat were disclosed for the first timeto a foreign audience.

is what appeared to be an inter-continental ballistic missile that islarger than any of the North'sknown IcbMs, and the other wouldlikely be an upgraded version of amissile that can be fired from sub-marines.

While some experts say theycould be mock-ups of missiles un-der development, their disclosuressuggest North Korea has been con-tinuously pushing to boost itsweapons capability amid a stale-

mate in nuclear diplomacy with theUnited States.

South Korea's defence Ministrysaid on Sunday that it was express-ing concerns about the fact thatNorth Korea unveiled weapons in-cluding what was suspected to be anew long-range ballistic missile. Aministry statement demandedNorth Korea abide by 2018 inter-Korean deals aimed at lowering an-imosities.

South Korea's Foreign Ministryissued a separate statement urgingNorth Korea to return to talks toproduce progress in its past com-mitment to achieving denuclearisa-tion and peace on the KoreanPeninsula.

After an emergency NationalSecurity council meeting, councilmembers in South Korea saidthey'll continue to analyze thestrategic significance of the NorthKorean weapons systems disclosedSaturday and review South Korea'sdefence capabilities.

Mexico's president published an

open letter to Pope Francis calling on the

roman catholic church to apologise for

abuses of Indigenous peoples during the

conquest of Mexico in the 1500s.

In the letter published Saturday,

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador

also asks the pope to lend Mexico ancient

pre-Hispanic Mexican or colonial-era

documents.

the catholic church, the Spanish

monarchy and the Mexican government

should make a public apology for the of-

fensive atrocities that Indigenous people

suffered," the letter states.

Lopez Obrador asked the pope to

make a statement in favour of Miguel

Hidalgo, Mexico's 19th-century inde-

pendence leader who was once believed

to have been excommunicated by the

church for his involvement in the upris-

ing.

However, researchers later said it ap-

peared that Hidalgo had confessed his

sins before he was executed and thus was

not excommunicated.

Lopez Obrador said: I think it would

be an act of humility and at the same time

greatness for the church to reconcile

posthumously with Hidalgo.

the letter comes as Mexico struggles

with how to mark the 500th anniversary

of the 1519-1521 conquest, which resulted

in the death of a large part of the coun-

try's pre-Hispanic population.

In 2019, Lopez Obrador asked Spain

for an apology for the conquest, in which

millions of Indigenous people died from

violence and disease.the catholic

church, the Spanish monarchy and the

Mexican government should make a pub-

lic apology for the offensive atrocities

that Indigenous people suffered," the let-

ter states. Lopez Obrador asked the pope

to make a statement in favour of Miguel

Hidalgo, Mexico's 19th-century inde-

pendence leader who was once believed

church for his involvement in the upris-

ing.

However, researchers later said it ap-

hEalth9 Glimpses of Future

JAMMU, MONdAy, OctOber 12 , 2020

Getting good sleep is incred-ibly important for youroverall health. It may re-

duce your risk of developing certainchronic illnesses, keep your brainhealthy, and boost your immune sys-tem (1, 2trusted Source, 3). It’s gen-erally recommended that you get be-tween 7 and 9 hours of uninterruptedsleep each night, though many peoplestruggle to get enough (4trustedSource, 5trusted Source). there aremany strategies you can use to pro-mote good sleep, including makingchanges to your diet, as some foodsand drinks have sleep-promotingproperties (6trusted Source). Hereare the 9 best foods and drinks youcan have before bed to enhance yourquality of sleep.

1. AlmondsAlmonds are a type of tree nut

with many health benefits.they’re an excellent source of

many nutrients, as 1 ounce (28 grams)of the dry roasted nuts contains 18%of an adult’s daily needs for phospho-rus and 23% for riboflavin (7trustedSource, 8, 9).

An ounce also provides 25% of thedaily manganese needs for men and31% of the daily manganese needs forwomen (10).

eating almonds regularly hasbeen associated with lower risks of afew chronic diseases, such as type 2diabetes and heart disease. this is at-tributed to their healthy monounsatu-rated fats, fiber, and antioxidants.

Antioxidants may protect yourcells from harmful inflammation thatcan lead to these chronic diseases(11trusted Source, 12trustedSource).

It’s been claimed that almondsmay help boost sleep quality as well.this is because almonds, along withseveral other types of nuts, are asource of the hormone melatonin.Melatonin regulates your internalclock and signals your body to preparefor sleep (13trusted Source).

Almonds are also an excellentsource of magnesium, providing 19%of your daily needs in only 1 ounce.consuming adequate amounts ofmagnesium may help improve sleepquality, especially for those who haveinsomnia (6trusted Source, 14,15trusted Source).

Magnesium’s role in promotingsleep is thought to be related to itsability to reduce inflammation.Additionally, it may help reduce levelsof the stress hormone cortisol, whichis known to interrupt sleep (6trustedSource, 15trusted Source).

yet, despite this, research on al-monds and sleep is sparse.

One study examined the effects offeeding rats 400 milligrams (mg) ofalmond extract. It found that the ratsslept longer and more deeply thanthey did without consuming almondextract (16).

the potential sleep-related effectsof almonds are promising, but moreextensive human studies are needed.

If you want to eat almonds beforebed to determine if they affect yoursleep quality, a 1-ounce (28-gram)

serving, or about a handful, should beadequate.

2. Turkeyturkey is delicious and nutritious.It’s high in protein, with roasted

turkey providing almost 8 grams ofprotein per ounce (28 grams). Proteinis important for keeping your musclesstrong and regulating your appetite(17trusted Source, 18).

Additionally, turkey is a modestsource of a few vitamins and minerals,such as riboflavin and phosphorus.It’s an excellent source of selenium,with a 3-ounce serving providing 56%of the daily Value (dV) (19).

turkey has a few properties thatexplain why some people becometired after eating it or think it encour-ages sleepiness. Most notably, it con-tains the amino acid tryptophan,which increases the production ofmelatonin (20trusted Source, 21).

the protein in turkey may alsocontribute to its ability to promotetiredness. there’s evidence that con-suming moderate amounts of proteinbefore bed is associated with bettersleep quality, including less wakingup throughout the night (22trustedSource).

More research is necessary to con-firm turkey’s potential role in improv-ing sleep.

3. Chamomile teachamomile tea is a popular herbal

tea that may offer a variety of healthbenefits.

It’s well known for its flavones.Flavones are a class of antioxidantsthat reduce the inflammation that of-ten leads to chronic diseases, such ascancer and heart disease (23trustedSource).

there’s also some evidence thatdrinking chamomile tea may boostyour immune system, reduce anxietyand depression, and improve skinhealth. In addition, chamomile teahas some unique properties that mayimprove sleep quality (23trustedSource, 24trusted Source, 25).

Specifically, chamomile tea con-tains apigenin. this antioxidant bindsto certain receptors in your brain thatmay promote sleepiness and reduceinsomnia (23trusted Source,26trusted Source).

One 2011 study in 34 adults foundthose who consumed 270 mg ofchamomile extract twice daily for 28days fell asleep 15 minutes faster andexperienced less nighttime wakeningcompared to those who didn’t con-sume the extract (27trusted Source).

Another study found that womenwho drank chamomile tea for 2 weeksreported improved sleep quality com-pared to non-tea drinkers.

those who drank chamomile teaalso had fewer symptoms of depres-sion, which is commonly associatedwith sleep problems (28trustedSource).

drinking chamomile tea beforegoing to bed is certainly worth tryingif you want to improve the quality ofyour sleep.

4. KiwiKiwis are a low-calorie and very

nutritious fruit.

One fruit contains only 42 caloriesand a significant amount of nutrients,including 71% of the dV for vitamin c.It provides men and women with 23%and 31%, respectively, of the vitaminK they need each day.

It contains a decent amount of fo-late and potassium as well as severaltrace minerals too (29trusted Source,30, 31).

Furthermore, eating kiwis maybenefit your digestive health, reduceinflammation, and lower your choles-terol. these effects are due to the highamounts of fiber and carotenoid an-tioxidants that they provide(32trusted Source, 33trustedSource).

According to studies on their po-tential to improve sleep quality, kiwismay also be one of the best foods to eatbefore bed.

In a 4-week study, 24 adults con-sumed two kiwifruits one hour beforegoing to bed each night. At the end ofthe study, participants fell asleep 42%more quickly than when they didn’teat anything before bedtime.

Additionally, their ability to sleepthrough the night without waking im-proved by 5%, while their total sleeptime increased by 13% (34).

the sleep-promoting effects of ki-wis are sometimes attributed to sero-tonin. Serotonin is a brain chemicalthat helps regulate your sleep cycle(22trusted Source, 34, 35trustedSource).

It’s also been suggested that theanti-inflammatory antioxidants in ki-wis, such as vitamin c andcarotenoids, may be partly responsi-ble for their sleep-promoting effects(34, 36trusted Source).

More scientific evidence is neededto determine the effects that kiwismay have in improving sleep.Nevertheless, eating 1–2 medium ki-wis before bed may help you fallasleep faster and stay asleep longer.

5. Tart cherry juice

tart cherry juice has some im-pressive health benefits.

First, it provides modest amountsof a few important nutrients, such asmagnesium and phosphorus. It’s agood source of potassium too.

An 8-ounce (240-milliliter) serv-ing contains 17% of the potassium awoman needs each day and 13% of thepotassium that a man needs each day(37trusted Source, 38).

Additionally, it’s a rich source ofantioxidants, including anthocyaninsand flavonols (39trusted Source,40trusted Source, 41trustedSource).

tart cherry juice is also known topromote sleepiness, and it’s even beenstudied for its role in relieving insom-nia. For these reasons, drinking tartcherry juice before bed may improveyour sleep quality (6trusted Source,20trusted Source).

the sleep-promoting effects oftart cherry juice are due to its highamounts of melatonin (6trustedSource, 20trusted Source, 42trustedSource).

In a small study, adults with in-somnia drank 8 ounces (240 ml) oftart cherry juice twice a day for 2weeks. they slept 84 minutes longerand reported better sleep qualitycompared to when they didn’t drinkthe juice (43trusted Source).

Although these results are prom-ising, more extensive research is nec-essary to confirm the role of tart cher-ry juice in improving sleep and pre-venting insomnia.

Nevertheless, drinking some tartcherry juice before bed is worth a try ifyou struggle with falling or stayingasleep at night.

6. Fatty fishFatty fish, such as salmon, tuna,

trout, and mackerel, are incrediblyhealthy. What makes them unique istheir exceptional amounts of vitamind.

For example, a 3-ounce (85-gram)

serving of sockeye salmon contains570 international units (IU) of vita-min d. that’s 71% of your dV. A simi-lar serving of farmed rainbow troutcontains 81% of your dV (44).

Additionally, fatty fish are high inhealthy omega-3 fatty acids, specifi-cally eicosapentaenoic acid (ePA) anddocosahexaenoic acid (dHA).

ePA and dPA are known for re-ducing inflammation. In addition,omega-3 fatty acids may protectagainst heart disease and boost brainhealth (45trusted Source, 46trustedSource).

the combination of omega-3 fattyacids and vitamin d in fatty fish hasthe potential to enhance sleep quality,as both have been shown to increasethe production of serotonin(22trusted Source, 47, 48trustedSource).

In one study, men who ate 10.5ounces (300 grams) of Atlanticsalmon three times a week for 6months fell asleep about 10 minutesfaster than men who ate chicken, beef,or pork.

this effect was thought to be theresult of vitamin d. those in the fishgroup had higher levels of vitamin d,which was linked to a significant im-provement in sleep quality(49trusted Source).

eating a few ounces of fatty fishbefore bed may help you fall asleepfaster and sleep more deeply. Morestudies are needed to make a definiteconclusion about the ability of fattyfish to improve sleep.

7. WalnutsWalnuts are a popular type of tree

nut.they’re abundant in many nutri-

ents, providing over 19 vitamins andminerals, in addition to 1.9 grams offiber, in a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving.Walnuts are particularly rich in mag-nesium, phosphorus, manganese, andcopper (50trusted Source).

Additionally, walnuts are a greatsource of healthy fats, includingomega-3 fatty acids and linoleic acid.they also provide 4.3 grams of proteinper ounce, which may be beneficial forreducing appetite (18, 50trustedSource, 51).

Walnuts may also boost hearthealth. they’ve been studied for theirability to reduce high cholesterol lev-els, which are a major risk factor forheart disease (12trusted Source).

What’s more, some researchersclaim that eating walnuts improvessleep quality, as they’re one of the bestfood sources of melatonin (52trustedSource, 53). the fatty acid makeup ofwalnuts may also contribute to bettersleep. they provide alpha-linolenicacid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acidthat’s converted to dHA in the body.dHA may increase serotonin produc-tion (48trusted Source, 54trustedSource).

there’s not much evidence to sup-port the claims about walnuts im-proving sleep. In fact, there haven’tbeen any studies that focus specifical-ly on their role in promoting sleep.

regardless, if you struggle withsleep, eating some walnuts before bed

may help. About a handful of walnutsis an adequate portion.

8. Passionflower teaPassionflower tea is another

herbal tea that’s been traditionallyused to treat a number of health ail-ments.

It’s a rich source of flavonoid an-tioxidants. Flavonoid antioxidantsare known for their role in reducinginflammation, boosting immunehealth, and reducing heart diseaserisk (55trusted Source).

Additionally, passionflower teahas been studied for its potential to re-duce anxiety.

the antioxidant apigenin may beresponsible for passionflower’s anxi-ety-reducing effects. Apigenin pro-duces a calming effect by binding tocertain receptors in your brain(56trusted Source).

there’s also some evidence thatpassionflower increases the produc-tion of the brain chemical gammaaminobutyric acid (GAbA). GAbAworks to inhibit other brain chemicalsthat induce stress, such as glutamate(57trusted Source).

the calming properties of pas-sionflower tea may promote sleepi-ness, so it may be beneficial to drink itbefore going to bed.

In a 7-day study, 41 adults drank acup of passionflower tea before bed.they rated their sleep quality signifi-cantly better when they drank the teacompared to when they didn’t drinkthe tea (58trusted Source).

More research is needed to deter-mine whether passionflower pro-motes sleep.

9. White riceWhite rice is a grain that’s widely

consumed as a staple food in manycountries.

the major difference betweenwhite and brown rice is that white ricehas had its bran and germ removed.this makes it lower in fiber, nutrients,and antioxidants.

Nevertheless, white rice still con-tains a decent amount of a few vita-mins and minerals.

A 4-ounce (79-gram) serving ofwhite rice provides 19% of your dailyneeds for folate. It also provides pro-vides 21% of the daily thiamine needsfor men and 22% of the daily thiamineneeds for women (59trusted Source,60, 61).

A 4-ounce (79-gram) serving oflong-grain white rice contains 13% ofyour dV for manganese (10).

It’s been suggested that eatingfoods with a high GI, such as whiterice, at least 1 hour before bed mayhelp improve sleep quality(20trusted Source).

One study compared the sleephabits of 1,848 people based on theirintake of rice, bread, or noodles.Higher rice intake was associatedwith better sleep than bread or noo-dles, including longer sleep duration(63trusted Source).

despite the potential role that eat-ing white rice may have in promotingsleep, it’s best consumed in modera-tion due to its comparative lowamounts of fiber and nutrients.

The 9 Best Foods and Drinks to Have Before Bed

As cases of infertility across the globerise, Assisted reproductivetechnology (Art) is getting more ad-

vanced and accepted in society. “dealing with in-fertility is certainly not easy and the growing ac-ceptance of Art is due to the increasing occur-rence of infertility in both males and females”,says dr Parul Katiyar, fertility expert, NovaIVF.0

“there are many Art treatments availablethat help to deal with infertility. the cornerstoneof most Art procedures is Invitro fertilization(IVF) and recent advancements in the treatmenthave helped to improve the success rates of theIVF treatment and also solve abnormalities dueto genetic issues in the fertile couples as well ascouples who choose Art if they are discordant toparticular communicable diseases,” she told in-dianexpress.com.

Various advanced techniques of Art in eval-uating embryos

Numerous grading systems have been devel-oped to support the embryological grading andalso help to determine the chromosomal statusof the embryo. these advancements help to eval-uate the embryo quality in both direct and indi-rect ways much before a woman conceives,thereby reducing the chances of miscarriagesand chromosomal abnormalities.

Pre-implantation Genetic testing (PGt)

technique goes through all types of genetictesting on the embryo, and is useful for coupleswho do not possess any genetic disorder but arehaving difficulty in conceiving or even for cou-ples who suffer from a genetic disease or carrythe genes that can cause genetic disease like inthe offspring. “With PGt tests, fertility expertscheck for chromosomal abnormalities in thedNA of the cells of the embryos. embryos with-out any chromosomal abnormalities are pickedand placed in the womb of the mother to ensuresuccessful conception. In this technique, the

chances of passing a known genetic disorder getreduced from the parent to the offspring,” drKatiyar explains.

endometrial receptivity Analysis testing(erA)

It’s one the first diagnostic tests that deter-mine each woman’s unique personalised em-bryo transfer timing, therefore synchronisingthe embryo transfer with the individualised win-dow of implantation. An endometrial biopsy willbe taken by your doctor in a mock embryo trans-fer cycle prior to your IVF cycle. this sample willthen be analysed to assess endometrial receptiv-ity and the optimal day for embryo transfer. “thesample will be sent to a lab where molecularanalysis is completed to determine the best timeto attempt embryo implantation in a futuretransfer cycle. Generally, the endometrial recep-tivity analysis is recommended if you’ve under-

gone two or more IVF cycles that were not suc-cessful, where the embryos were of good quali-ty,” she explains.

Magnetic activated cell sorting (MAcS)this technique is used in cases of male factor

infertility. It is a sperm washing technique,which helps in separating healthy sperms fromsperms having dNA damage. When a man isproducing millions of sperms, there is a risk thatsome of them could have damaged dNA. thesperms with high dNA damage are more likely tosuffer from poor health and can cause male in-fertility, recurrent miscarriage, poor embryoquality. therefore, we need to separate thosesperms. “In this procedure, the semen samplefrom the patient is passed through a column withweak magnetic fields around it, where the dam-aged sperms are drawn towards the walls where-as the healthy sperms pass through.

Social media isboth a boon anda bane for this

modern, tech-savvy world.While on one hand it isconsidered to be a power-ful tool to bring about agenuine change, on theother, it is often said to bemired with issues of onlineabuse and harassment.

but a recent study hasfound that while peopleshare snippets of theireveryday life every nowand then, being authenticon social media can bene-fit their mental health im-mensely. According to theIndependent, a new studypublished in the Nature

communications journalsuggests that keeping it re-al on social media is betterfor our mental well-being.

researchers at Newyork’s columbia businessSchool and NorthwesternUniversity’s KelloggSchool of Management inchicago had analysed thedata of 10,560 Facebookusers, who had completedsomething called the ‘lifesatisfaction and personali-ty assessment surveys’from 2007 to 2012, theoutlet reports.

When the data wascompared with predic-tions of their personalitiesbased on their Facebook

profiles — to understandthe extent to which theprofiles represented theirauthentic selves — it wasfound that those who pre-sented themselves in a waythat “closely resembledhow they viewed them-selves, reported higherlevels of life satisfaction,compared to those whoseprofiles did not closely re-semble how they sawthemselves”.

the outlet furthermentions that for a sepa-rate part of the study, re-searchers asked 90 stu-dents to post on Facebookin an authentic way for aweek, and then post in a‘self-idealised’ way for an-other week. they conclud-ed that the students’ men-tal state was better in thecourse of the week theywere asked to post ‘au-thentically’.

erica bailey, a doctoralstudent in management atcolumbia businessSchool, and the author ofthe study, told cNN:“However, in the case ofsocial media, the oppositedirection is also highlylikely, that is people whoare more well-adjusted orhappier are also probablymore likely to post authen-tically.”

Being real on social mediacan be good for your mental

Hassanandani's baby might ar-

rive early next year. In fact, fans

Anita Hassanandani was also

planning to have a child via sur-

rogacy just like her bestie, ekta

Kapoor. She has clarified say-

ing, "there is no truth in these

rumours. We have thought

about having a baby, and I plan

to have a baby the natural and

normal way. Hopefully, if things

go as planned, we might have a

baby next year. She had also

said, "I have been busy with two

tV shows, and workwise, I

wanted to be free when I have a

child. I don’t want a hectic work

schedule when I get pregnant.

So, once my ongoing fantasy

drama ends, the plan is to start

thinking about a family. When it

happens, motherhood will sure-

ly change my life like it changes

the lives of mothers all around

the world. I am looking forward

to it as I am really excited about

having a baby. So, whenever it

happens for me, I will give my

100%.

Neetu Kapoor is the best

example of ageing graceful-

ly. the lady has maintained a

high level of fitness over the

years, and it is visible on her.

She was seen with son

ranbir Kapoor some days

ago outside his new home.

the talented actor was also

flaunting a new bike. Now,

all eyes are on the wedding of

ranbir Kapoor and Alia

bhatt. there were rumours

that they might tie the knot

in the month of december.

dance choreographer

rajendra Singh who spe-

cialises in wedding and

sangeet dances has shared a

video where we can see

Neetu Kapoor dancing with

him on the song, Ghagra.

Fans became curious in-

stantly and asked if ranbir

Kapoor's wedding was on

the way. He has been dating

Alia bhatt for over two years

now. And this time, we feel it

is wedding bells for the

handsome actor. the two

spent time on the recce of

brahmastra and fell in love.

Neetu Kapoor adores Alia

bhatt, and she is part of the

family. Like everyone, we are

also curious to know if some-

thing big is being planned.

Neetu Kapoor is known for

her commitment to fitness.

the lady does yoga, trX and

aerobics on a regular basis.

She is also very diet con-

scious. It is possible that she

has taken up dancing to stay

fit in this lockdown.

However, we will be thrilled

if the reason is what fans are

hoping for!
