1. Male dominance - Reflection on male dominance -Parveen Banu

When we look at some of the circumstances in the society it looks as if male dominance has come down. It

appears to be so when we compare with the past days. But it is not very true according to me. The dominance

still prevails amidst us and we practice it knowingly and unknowingly. It will take lots of time to change

because it is deep rooted in us like a tree standing upright on a nurturing soil. So it is in our society seen and

unseen.

When I think that we observe changes in the society, I also reflect that changes in old beliefs, in traditions

and in cultures are only superficial. The spirit of dominance still remain inherent. Come I will show some

examples which don’t support that things have changed.

Widows are getting married. This is the one

change we observe and quote. But I know

some live examples of suffering women. I

would like to share with you about one lady.

She got married but was unable to bear a child.

Because of this reason her husband left her

without checking who was responsible for

that. It might be the man himself who was

responsible! But no checking of the man’s

virility.

Next her parents married her to another person 20 years older than her. The person had 5 married children

and he had grandchildren too. Without asking the permission of that lady their parents had fixed her

marriage with the person. They had done so to save themselves from a society which was sarcastic about

her and about her parents.

Now the culture is that women should go to their husband’s home. Because she is treated as his property.

When someone would come to see a girl for marrying people accompanying him would see her from top to

bottom. They would tell her to walk, to sing, to do this and that, and there would be many dramas whether

the girl likes it or not. Once selected it is like being sold. And it is typically asked, “Where you did or who you

did give your daughter to?”

Can it happen that a man after marriage would go to the girl’s home as a Ghar Jamayi? When we look at the

rationale behind this the truth of male dominance comes to us.

In some cultures women change their name after marriage. It is very bad according to me. It is losing one’s

identity. She would be changing a name with which she might have lived quite a long time. She might have

attachment of sorts, associated memories and an identity linked to a family she was born in. Marriage is like

uprooting to a girl in many ways. As a plant would get wilted when uprooted so would a girl’s life after

marriage on occasions. I wish people who practice such a culture, after reading this article, change that and

start respecting women. If you think that I am talking wrong, then such of you please change your name for

one month and try!

One more change which we could observe are cases of inter cast marriages. This is a change done by youth

because they love and are in relationship. They marry which is good but in those cases also women suffer.

Because she has to change her cast or religion. Her parents has to suffer bad comments from the society.

Usually the boy’s parents would not accept her.

5

I am aware of instances where well educated persons prefer girls who live in the villages. This seems to be

good. But the real reason is that they are afraid of educated women. The educated would be aware of what

is good and bad. The men are afraid of such women getting control over them. They cannot treat them as

they would like. Also because of their education they might obtain higher position and status in society, and

they might fight for their rights.

The established culture in Indian system is to wear sarees. If we know why we wear clothes then one should

have the right to choose the clothing herself. Generally that is not the case.

Leave the girls to live as they like to live and don’t put any burden on them as we would do with ornamental

plants. Anything unnatural would pollute and the plants would wither without blooming. Not that women

don’t need support but the support need not choke her to death. I don’t mean that men are bad because

they are men. I respect all who respect womanhood against the values of patriarchy.

Let her grow like lush green plants do in open breeze nurtured by water and tendered by healthy minds.

3. For our own Sustainable Future. - Rajesh S Mahantmath

India has had a long tradition of environmental conservation. Post-independence the increasing population,

urbanization and demand for more production has put an enormous stress and strain on the natural

resources. Either due to individual circumstances, or due to socio-economic problems our society got

deviated from its sustainable life-style that had remained largely unchanged over the centuries. As a result

there has been a decline in the overall forest cover of the country and today only about 23.8% of our country

is under forest cover (World Bank, 2015). Many floral and faunal species have become extinct. Many

ecosystems have become degraded. Due to loss of habitat there is a danger to the survival of the remaining

animals in the forests. Against this backdrop, it will be worthwhile to look back at the environment friendly

principles and practices of our ancestors and try to imbibe them.

We can see many examples of environment friendly practices in the day-to-day life style, culture and

traditions of ancient Indians. Ancient Indians revered the earth as ‘mother’. ‘Ahimsa’ (non-violence) the first

precept of Dharma (true religion) dictates that humans should treat not only fellow human beings but also

all living beings with non-violence. People in ancient India may not have been strict vegetarians but they

certainly did not engage in wanton slaughter of animals. They believed in ‘Aparigraha’ (non-hoarding),

‘Asteya’ (non-stealing) and ‘Daana’ (generosity).

Our ancestors knew the medicinal properties and air purifying properties of plants and their role in enabling

good precipitation. They accorded great importance to the nurturing of new trees and protection of old

trees.

Dashakoopa Samaavaapi, Dashavaapi Samohrudah: I

Dashahrud Samoputro, Dashaputro Samo Drumah: II

According to this shloka, one who plants a tree gains the virtue of digging ten wells or giving birth to ten

sons. Ancient people have honored trees by calling them ‘Mahatma’ or great souls.

We all have read in childhood the story of the old grandfather who continues to plant mango saplings so

that his grandchildren may eat the fruits one day. This short and simple story gives us a message that after

enjoying the benefits of nature we should ensure that the same natural resources will be available to our

future generations too. Considering the importance of trees everybody must try to plant as many trees as

possible and contribute in environmental conservation.

In ancient times people believed that

certain trees or forest areas were the

abode of tree spirits or deities and

accorded protection to these ‘sacred

groves’. Today, we see find a lot of

biodiversity in the few surviving

sacred groves. It seems that many

rulers of Mauryan, Mughal, Maratha

and other dynasties also accorded

protection to forest areas, perhaps,

because they saw their importance as

source of raw materials and strategic

protection to their forts and palaces.

The local rulers also devoted their time and attention to the construction of wells and reservoirs for the

7

benefit of the common people. People in different parts of the country considered it sacrilegious to hunt or

kill different types of animals and due to this many animals and birds automatically got protection. The

genetic diversity is fast eroding due to largescale deforestation and monoculture of a select variety of crops.

The abuse of agrochemicals has increased the problems of air and water pollution. We humans are

succumbing to newer diseases. We have lost harmony with nature and lost the happiness of life itself as

Samuel Johnson said:

Deviation from Nature is Deviation from Happiness.

This does neither mean that we have to stop all scientific and technological activities, renounce everything

and go and stay in the forests, nor that, in the pretext of development we have to forget our traditions and

culture and blindly imitate the developed countries. We must learn to strike a balance between our needs

and wants. We must try to reduce, reuse, repair and recycle as much as possible and adopt a simple lifestyle

for our own sustainable future. ***

6. The Digital Dump -Sachin Salakki

Over four million people purchased the new Apple iPhone 4S during the first weekend that the updated

device was available for sale. Most of these newly purchased phones replaced older phones, which were

likely discarded. Where these discarded cell phones have gone? Was it that we have threw off just like that?

Yes you are right, these new inventions of man keep on

taking the human race to the next level day by day.

Though these inventions are beneficiary to the better

living and life style of human being, sometimes it also

creates adverse effects on environment which in turn

affects the people on this earth. Thus it has become a

great challenge for us to protect and preserve the

nature from the destructions of modern technology.

Globalization and information technology are being

widely recognized as main drivers of the human

civilization in the later part of twentieth century and

the 21st century. Day by day the usage of electronic

9

and electrical equipment are multiplying. So as the need for the computers and electronic gadgets also is

increasing every day, which creating other kind of waste that is e-waste. E-waste has become one of the

major problems today. So, there is need for saving the people from the e-waste phenomenon.

As an accelerating cycle of innovation drives the consumer electronics market forward, consumers are

purchasing new devices and discarding their older models at an increasing rate. Discarded electronic

products, including cell phones, televisions, and computers, account for tens of millions of discarded items

each year, causing electronic waste (“e-waste”) to continue to grow as a percentage of solid waste. While

many states have recycling programs that will renovate old cell phones or responsibly dispose of their toxic

components, these programs often are not widely known or advertised. Only a small portion of these

products is recycled (12.5% annually worldwide), compounding their presence in our nation’s landfills or the

prevalence of chemicals that leak into the environment due to improper disposal. These harms can be

avoided through refurbishment or recycling programs, which provide an environmentally friendly disposal

method and save valuable landfill space. The problems associated with e-waste are not insurmountable.

The electronic industry is the world’s largest and fastest growing manufacturing industry. E-waste is a

relatively new and also the fastest growing segment worldwide in discarded waste. This growing problem in

the world is largely ignored or misunderstood. Many people do not understand what it is or how it affects

them, the world, or the environment. So the question "What is e-waste" needs to be addressed before any

solutions can be effective. Electronic waste (e-waste) comprises waste electronics/electrical goods that use

or have reached their end of life. This may include items such as computers, servers, mainframes, monitors,

CDs, printers, scanners, copiers, calculators, fax machines, battery cells, cellular phones, transceivers, TVs,

medical apparatus, refrigerators and air-conditioners. E-waste contains valuable materials such as copper,

silver, gold and platinum which could be processed for their recovery.

Facts about e-waste: India is the 5th biggest generators of e-waste in world, just behind the U.S., China, Japan

and Germany, discarding 1.7 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste in 2014. A UN report has warned that the volume

of global e-waste is likely to rise by 21% in next 3 years. Most of e-waste in the world was generated in Asia

at 16 Mt or 3.7 kg per inhabitant. The top three Asian nations with the highest e-waste generation in absolute

quantities are China (6.0 Mt), Japan (2.2 Mt) and India (1.7 Mt). The top per capita producers by far are the

wealthy nations of northern and western Europe, the top five being Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark,

and the U.K. The lowest amount of e-waste generated in Africa is 1.9 Mt (1.7 kg/inhabitant). While only 7%

of e-waste last year was made up of mobile phones, calculators, personal computers, printers, and small

information technology equipment, almost 60% was a mix of large and small equipment used in homes and

businesses, such as vacuum cleaners, toasters, electric shavers, video cameras, washing machines, electric

stoves, mobile phones, calculators, personal computers and lamps. The report said less than one-sixth of last

year's e-waste is thought to have been diverted from landfills to recycling and reuse. The e-waste generated

in 2014 contained an estimated 16,500 kilotons of iron, 1,900 kilotons of copper, 300 tonnes of gold (equal

to 11% of the world's total 2013 gold production), as well as silver, aluminium, palladium plastic and other

resources with a combined estimated value of USD 52 billion. Toxins in that e-waste include 2.2 Mt of lead

glass, 0.3 Mt of batteries, as well as mercury, cadmium, chromium and 4,400 tonnes of ozone-depleting

substances (CFCs). There are 10 states that contribute to 70% of the total E-Waste generated in India. 65

cities generate more than 60% of the total E-Waste in India. Among the top 10 cities generating E-Waste,

Mumbai ranks first followed by Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, Surat &

10

Nagpur. Out of total E-Waste volume in India Television - 68%, Desktop and Server - 27%, Imports - 2%,

Mobile - 1%.

It is estimated that more than 50MT E-Waste is generated globally every year. A report of the United Nations

predicted that by 2020, E-Waste from old computers would jump by 400% on 2007 levels in China and by

500% in India. Additionally E-Waste from discarded mobile phones would be about 7 times higher than 2007

levels in China and in India 18 timers higher by 2020. Generation of E-Waste in 2012 in India was 8 lakh

tonnes and annual growth rate of E-Waste generation is 10%. India is one of the largest waste importing

countries in the world. It generates about 350000 tonnes of electronic waste every year and imports another

50000 tonnes. How much waste is in 500 million computers – Plastic - 6.32 Billion Pounds, Lead - 1.58 Billion

Pounds, Cadmium - 3 Million Pounds, Chromium - 1.9 Million Pounds, Mercury - 0.632 Million Pounds. For

every 1 million cell phones that are recycled, 35,274 lbs of copper, 772 lbs of silver, 75 lbs of gold, and 33 lbs

of palladium can be recovered. Recycling 1 million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used

by 3,657 U.S. homes in a year. It takes 530 lbs of fossil fuel, 48 lbs of chemicals, and 1.5 tons of water to

manufacture one computer and monitor. The bulk of the world's e-waste is being shipped to Nigeria, Ghana,

Pakistan, India, and China, among others. While it seems odd that a country would willingly import another's

waste, the waste is imported, sometimes illegally. This practice provides jobs and valuable scraps.

Currently, around the world, the volume of obsolete computers and other E-Wastes temporarily stored for

recycling or disposal is growing at an alarming rate causing enormous environmental and health hazard to

any community. Health problems associated with such toxins include impaired mental development, cancer,

and damage to livers and kidneys, the report added. The escalating global e-waste problem is driven by the

rising sales and shortening life cycles of electrical and electronic equipment. "Worldwide, e-waste

constitutes a valuable 'urban mine'- a large potential reservoir of recyclable materials. At the same time, the

hazardous content of e-waste constitutes a 'toxic mine' that must be managed with extreme care". Tons and

tons of e-waste is dumped each year and the problems continues to grow. The tasks we have assign are

intended to increase awareness of this global situation and encourage students to research not only the

problem, but potential solutions. The numbers are mind blowing and awareness is a good way to begin

resolving or attending to the problem. There is a popular mantra used by many recycling advocates, "Reduce,

Reuse, and Recycle." This slogan has widely been promoted with plastics and glass, but its message is also

applicable to the disposal of e-waste. Many electronic stores offer services to help customers bring in old

electronics or parts so as to dispose of them safely and properly.

“Mix them and you get garbage;

Separate them and you get resources”

……Japanese saying

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we’ve

been ignorant of their value. - R. Buckminster Fuller

11. Go Green – A long way to go -Peri

Can we go green? What does it mean to go green? Are we

anywhere near the green? Will a bye-line ‘Go Green’ in our email

signature in any way help? Difficult questions and the moment we

try to genuinely answer these it hits back at us badly. It depresses

us. Since we have come so far from the greenery that we do not

see any light in the tunnel. There seems to be no path towards

greenery and we do not see us reaching there in near future. We

are in the grey patch. A patch which is pulling us down to further

darkness, depression and death! Can we Go Green? Long way to

go.

Why are we in this path? Nobody knows. Is there a way out? No.

Not if we continue moving in this path. We will have to change our

path. How do we change it? When the entire movement of the

society is from village to city, all our aspirations are from small to

big, our entire life style is from organic to synthetic, how do we

change this? How do we halt this mad rush? We are used to this

life style. This life style has to change but how do we change the

life style? Can we change THIS life style? This life style of the

present society? It seems to be very difficult. How can we change

the society’s life style? No we cannot change society’s life style.

But, we can change our life style, MY life style. Hence, the

beginning has to be me. Have I began seriously doing something

concrete on this? How sensitive I am in my daily living? What do I

eat, what do I wear and how do I live? Long way to go.

Do I eat simple food close to the nature? Do I eat more raw food? Do I eat simple food? Non-processed, non-

freeze, non-treated, non-preserved, and non-packed . . . Can I avoid all these things? Can I have food which

is simple, cooked in a very simple way, cooked by me? How much do I waste? What do I do with the waste

food? A long way to go. Water is another ingredient which this society has misused. How am I using water?

Do I waste a lot of water? Do I reuse the used water and can I use it multiple times? Do I use bottled water?

Can I use carry bottle to carry water for drinking? Have I put enough effort in conserving water? Do I throw

away my used water or do I have some mechanism made for re- use of this water? Is my used water flowing

in to a garden or plants? Is my tap water flowing continuously while I

brush my teeth and wash my face? Is there a difference in using the

water in my home and in office, hotel? Am I enough sensitive to my

water usage? Long way to go.

What am I wearing? Is it organic? Is it hand-made? Is it home made? Is

it degradable? Is it simple? Or is it branded and imported? This makes a

huge difference. Just think of how the cloth is made. Does it use a lot of

natural resources? Is it produced in some remote place (for cheap labor)

and transported all over the world? Does this go well with this climate?

With the used dress which is torn, do I stitch it and use or do I throw

16

away? Do I give my older dress to some body in need? How much dress do I have? Do I continuously buy

or buy only when I do not have anything to wear? Long way to go.

Is my house eco-friendly? Do I have materials in my house which is not used? Which is not used often? Which

is just for show? Do I buy things when I see in any shop or do I buy when I need it at my home? Is my home

filled with materials and furniture? Are my furniture simple and comfortable or showy and gorgeous? Do my

house use electricity often or is my house well lit with solar and enough ventilation to avoid fan? Am I using

Air Conditioner at home? Is my house simple and ordinary, welcoming others or is it gated, humiliating to

others? Long way to go.

Go green is not a slogan. Go green is a life style, it is an ideology, it is a philosophy, and it is a belief. Not to

be preached but to be lived. Lived by each one of us. For our own good. In my life I can see that I have started

to think about it. I have tried to bring only a few things into my life but, I have a long way to go to GO GREEN.
