“…However, Nanda(1999), during her extensive research within the community found no evidence to support such an impression, as all the hijras she met had joined the community voluntarily. On the other hand, Sharma (2009), who undertook asimilar research within the community mentions of case, who was born intersexed, but whose parents regularly "paid off" a local hijra in order to keep the child. He also mentions another case, whose brother, out of jealousy, informed the hijras about him, who then came and took him away against his wishes and those of his parents.…”

“…But, since their presence in the family attaches a stigma, therefore they have no alternative other than to leave home and live with others of their kind. The identity crises, therefore, forces him/her to accept an alternative way of living in a mini society of hijras (Sharma, 2009). Due to social exclusion, third gender people have to live on the extreme margins of the society.…”

“…Thus, one can conclude that, yet, as a result of their marginalization, a closely-knit subculture has evolved, and in recent years hijras are slowly emerging on the national stage, standing up for their rights (Sharma, 2009). Further, hijras argue thatsociety may hate them, but they live and bear all the tortures, abuse and exclusion from the society.…”

“…The ability of the hijra role to succeed as a symbolic reference point giving significant meaning to the lives of the many different kinds of people who make up the hijra community, is undoubtedly related to the variety and significance of alternative gender roles and gender transformations in Indian mythology and traditional culture. Sharma (2009), argues that having known the fact that hijras, being sexually deformed carry a stigma, this biological condition causes identity crisis for them. According to third gender people themselves, this state of theirs makes their acceptance very difficult in the society.…”

On the streets of Indian villages one sometimes comes across an unusual sight of a group of closely shaven persons in female attire, singing and dancing, making overtures to the onlookers, cracking sexually charged jokes at men and making loud clapping sounds with their hands. To people these individuals may look very interesting and outlandish freaks of nature. Not because they sing and dance but because of their ambivalent physical appearance. They shave, smoke and talk like men but dress and behave in a more feminine way. On seeing them, one question which would immediately strike relates to who are these people, male or female? And if they are neither males nor females, then what? In the Indian society these peoples are popularly referred to as ‘Hijras’, ‘Khusras’, ‘Asexuals’, ‘Neutrals’, ‘Eunuchs’, etc. All the terms included in the nomenclature are used to describe the identity of these people who have one thing in common and perhaps the most decisive one that there is something wrong with their sexual organs. So one can say that, for years we have looked at Hijras, but never seen or understood them.

Environmental impacts of the livestock sector are proportional to consumption levels. To assess the relative consumption of livestock animals within the diets of dogs, cats and people, this study examined their dietary energy needs within the US in 2020, and globally in 2018. Also studied were US pet food ingredients, and environmental sustainability indicators for plant- and animal-based foods consumed globally. Relative consumptions of average livestock animals were: US: dogs– 17.7%, cats– 2.3%, humans– 80.0%; and globally: dogs– 7.7%, cats– 1.2%, humans– 91.1%. Full transition to nutritionally-sound vegan diets would spare from slaughter the following numbers of terrestrial livestock animals annually (billions): US: dogs– 1.7, cats– 0.2, humans– 7.8, and globally: dogs– 6.0, cats– 0.9, humans– 71.3, as well as billions of aquatic animals in all dietary groups. Very large impact reductions were also associated with land and water use, emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), acidifying and eutrophifying gases, and biocide use, in all dietary groups. If implemented globally, nutritionally-sound vegan diets would free up land larger than the following nations: dogs–Saudi Arabia or Mexico, cats–Japan or Germany, humans–Russia–the world’s largest country–combined with India. Such diets would save freshwater volumes greater than all renewable freshwater in the following nations: dogs–Denmark, cats–Jordan, humans–Cuba. Such diets would reduce GHGs by amounts greater than all GHG emissions from following nations: dogs–South Africa or the UK, cats–Israel or New Zealand, humans–India or the entire EU. The numbers of additional people who could be fed using food energy savings associated with vegan diets exceeded the 2018 human populations of the following nations: dogs–the entire European Union, cats–France or the UK, humans–every single nation or collective region on Earth, as defined by the World Bank. All of these estimates are conservative.

Objectives: Thirty-five adult Charles Foster rats were taken in the study to assess the lithotriptic and anti-lithogenic activity of the Trial drug. Methods: Thirty-five were divided into seven groups of five animals each. One group was kept as normal control; one group was given ethylene glycol 0.75% alone for 28 days. In the next three groups, Trial drug, kshara with distilled water, and the Standard drug were given, respectively, for 28 days after induction of calculi using ethylene glycol. In the next two groups, to assess the anti-lithogenic activity, simultaneously stone inducing agents and trial/standard drugs were given for 28 days. At the end, blood, urine, and histopathology of rat kidneys were done. Results: Tila-Dhatri kshara with Gokshura Kashaya and standard drug, Potassium Magnesium Citrate B6 showed equal lithotriptic and anti-lithogenic activity as depicted from blood, urine biochemistry, urine microscopy, and histopathology of rat kidneys. Trial drug-treated group showed more diuresis than other groups. Furthermore, serum LDH values were significantly reduced in trial drug-treated group. Conclusion: The trial drug showed significant nephroprotective property when compared to the standard drug as depicted from the serum LDH values and histopathological evaluations.
