The slowdown has had a bad effect on HimachalPradesh's Kangra tea, which is already struggling toget hold of the international market. According toestimates of tea growers, the demand for Kangra teahas declined by 40 per cent during the last few monthsdue to slowdown. Kangra tea does not have color, butdue to its taste, it has a different identity. It iscultivated in an area of about 2060 hectares aroundPalampur. Its production is also very less. But a fewyears ago, there was an increase in its demand amongtea lovers in some areas of the country. This tea isvery popular in the neighboring country ofAfghanistan. Due to the cheap tea in other parts of Asiaand the availability of cheap tea in the market, itsproduction has decreased significantly in recent years.Kangra tea needs the help of Mahatma Gandhi'sNational Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGA)programme to regain its lost prestige.

Desmond Tutu wasborn to Zachariah, ateacher, and Aletta,

a domestic servant, in agold mining town, Klerks-dorp, in 1931. Inspiredfrom father, Tutu initiatedhis career as a teacher. Thethen government passed or-ders restricting schoolingfor the Black childrenwhich disturbed the soul ofTutu and he resigned andprotested against the partialinstructions of the govern-ment. Tutu remained, for-ever, ‘a thorn facing to-wards apartheid govern-

ment. Consequently, Tuturose as a Churchman whoput to an end, the minoritywhite rule in South Africa.

Dare of the Tutu can bemeasured with the scale ofboldness with which hecriticized post-apartheidrulers, who remained fail toserve for the betterment ofpoor and Black people ofSouth Africa. Apart from it,he had the quality to rebukewithin and beyond SouthAfrica and, at particularstages, to smoothen the en-vironment with his quali-ties of humour as well aswarmth.

At the time, when Nel-son Mandela was in jail,

Tutu, with other supporters,strengthened the campaignfor positive change.Strongly opposing the bru-tal treatment of police tothe Black students, in 1976,Tutu challenged that thethen white-minority gov-ernment was reciest andagainst the will of God.

Tutu, most often, askedhis followers to be nice toWhites as they need you torediscover their humanity.

Recognising the greatactions towards humanity,Tutu was awarded with theNobel Peace Prize in 1984.The Norwegian Nobel In-stitute has complimentedTutu as “clear views and

fearless stance” and “unify-ing symbol for all Africanfreedom fighters”. In 1986,he was elected as Archbish-op of Cape Town and eventhen he remained commit-ted to opposing the minori-ty White Rule. He put hissincere efforts to get Man-dela released from jail.

Tutu was hospitalisedseveral times in the last fewyears for the treatment ofinfections associated withhis chronic disease as hewas diagnosed with cancerin the late 1990s.

With a rare public ap-pearance, Tutu had cele-brated his last (90th) birth-day on 7th October this

year, while attending a spe-cial Thanksgiving servicein Cape Town at StGeorge’s Cathedral.

After a long battle withinfections and prostate can-cer, Tutu breathed last inCape Town on Sunday, the26th December 2021.

The president CyrilRamaphosa reacts on thedeath of Tutu, in his tweetread as:

"The passing of Arch-bishop Emeritus DesmondTutu is another chapter ofbereavement in our na-tion’s farewell to a genera-tion of outstanding SouthAfricans who have be-queathed us a liberated

South Africa."Desmond Tutu was a

patriot without equal; aleader of principle andpragmatism who gavemeaning to the biblical in-sight that faith withoutworks is dead.

We pray that Archbish-op Tutu’s soul will rest inpeace but his spirit willstand sentry over the futureof our nation.”

Tutu was bearing in hima unique soul for the better-ment of poor and Black cit-izens of South Africa. Hisbattle was against the inhu-man behavior of minorityWhite Rulers but notagainst the White people.

There is a famous saying ofTutu, “Hope is being ableto see that there is light de-spite all of the darkness.”Though the material bodyof Tutu will no longer re-main with us but his nobleprinciples will always re-main as a booster exampleof strong hurdles towardsthe brutal behavior towardsBlack people.

Though a ‘moral com-pass’ has stopped working,yet, its earlier ‘indicationstowards the right path’ willalways remain there for thebetterment of humanity.Undoubtedly, a great soulhas departed just to rest inheavenly peace.

Bark, not biteAtightrope walk is never easy. When the aim of

the act is merely to cut losses, it is eventougher. During his visit to Myanmar last

week, the Indian foreign secretary, Harsh VardhanShringla, made it clear that New Delhi would like tosee its neighbour return to democratic ways soon. Butthat stern message was couched in a gift: the trip rep-resented India’s most public recognition yet of theSoutheast Asian nation’s military rulers who came topower following a coup in early February. Just threeweeks ago, the ministry of external affairs had issuedan unusually stern statement calling the conviction ofthe Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, ‘disturbing’.Ms Suu Kyi’s party had won the re-election in No-vember 2020, prompting the military coup by the gen-erals who claimed electoral fraud. Some of India’sclosest friends, such as the United States of Americaand the European Union, have imposed sanctions onMyanmar’s military junta.Mr Shringla, too, toldMyanmar’s leaders that India was in favour of the ear-ly release of political prisoners such as Ms Suu Kyi.

Yet the visit reflects a bitter reality. Despite pres-sure from some of the world’s most powerful democ-racies, Myanmar’s uniformed rulers are quickly ex-panding their circle of friends. China and Russia arebacking the regime diplomatically, financially andmilitarily. Japan is helping to train the Tatmadaw,Myanmar’s army. Thailand, whose prime minister,Prayut Chan-o-cha, also came to power through a mil-itary coup, is engaged in quiet diplomacy with Myan-mar. And Cambodia, the incoming chair of the Asso-ciation of Southeast Asian Nations, wants greater di-alogue with Myanmar, a break from the 10-membergrouping’s stance of not recognizing the junta up un-til now. Perhaps expecting this, New Delhi has takenits own steps to avoid rupturing ties with the generals.In March, it was among a handful of nations that par-ticipated in Myanmar’s Armed Forces Day celebra-tion. India has avoided open criticism of the coup’sleaders at the United Nations. Last month, it appoint-ed a new ambassador to Myanmar. For India, the sin-gle biggest source of concern is the porous 1,600-kilo-metre border between the two neighbours and attacksby militants who seek shelter in Myanmar. Since thecoup, the border has become even more active andNew Delhi needs the Tatmadaw’s help to stop incur-sions. India is also uneasy about China’s mounting in-fluence in Myanmar. On adding up all of these factors,a clear equation emerges: India’s lectures on democ-racy have more bark than bite.

The MerchantImagine, mother, that you are tostay at home and I am to travelinto strange lands.Imagine that myboat is ready at thelanding fully laden.Now think well,mother, before yousay what I shallbring for you when I come back.Mother, do you want heaps andheaps of gold?There, by the banks of goldenstreams, fields are full ofgolden harvest.And in the shade of the forest paththe golden champ flowerdrop on the ground.

Hong Kong's mediaChina controlled government's imple-

mentation of the National SecurityLaw has upended Hong Kong's po-

litical environment in the past year, accord-ing to several media reports.

The city authorities now view politicalparticipation as subversive, and the author-ities are targeting many across a broadcross-section of the population under thenew law. The Foreign Correspondents'Club (FCC) last month had revealed a sur-vey of correspondent and journalist mem-bers on a wide range of issues related topress freedom since the implementation ofthe National Security Law in June 2020.

The survey said that the vast majorityof respondents reported an overall deterio-ration in the working environment for jour-nalists, noting, in particular, the unwilling-ness of sources to be quoted and the needfor reporters to self-censor their writing ordelete images.

In 2021, Hong Kong authorities inter-fered with peaceful civil society activities,demonstrating a Mainland-style "rule bylaw" approach in which the law is merely ameans to the political end of suppressingdissent, according to the US-China Eco-nomic and Security Review Commission.

The Hong Kong government and pro-Beijing entities have used several tactics tostrip Hong Kong media organizations oftheir independence, mimicking the Main-land's heavily constrained media environ-ment. Earlier in June, Hong Kong authori-ties froze USD 2.32 million in assets be-longing to Apple Daily and two affiliatedcompanies, leaving the publisher withfunds for only a few days. Lacking anymeans of paying the salaries of its 1,300employees or covering normal operatingcosts, the paper had no choice but to shutdown.

Partnerships with Chinese state mediaare another tactic the government has de-ployed successfully to interfere with inde-pendent media, the report said.

Later in August, Chief Executive Lamannounced Hong Kong's state-fundedbroadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong(RTHK) would partner with China Media

Group, the holding group for PRC statemedia firms China Central Television andChina Radio International, to air "patriotic"content. According to Chief ExecutiveLam, the agreement allows RTHK's Chi-nese-language channel to air Mainland-produced content and produce its own pro-gramming to advocate for "safeguardingnational security" and "promote a better un-derstanding of developments on the Main-land."127

This ensures the promotion of theCCP's preferred political narratives. Re-porters Without Borders described this

partnership as providing a "perfect pretextto force RTHK to distribute Chinese prop-aganda." According to the review commis-sion report, the CCP has taken direct con-trol of Hong Kong-based media in order toinfluence the tone of ostensibly independ-ent organizations.

The Chinese government has increasedcontrol of media entities through othersweeping purchases in the recent past. TheCentral Liaison Office, Beijing's officialrepresentative office in Hong Kong, gainedcontrol of 80 per cent of Hong Kong's pub-lishing industry when it purchased Sino

United Publishing Ltd. in 2015. Having so-lidified control over the majority of printpublications and many online sources inthe city, the Chinese government can en-sure messaging in textbooks and paperssupports its goals, the report added.

Journalists are left uncertain aboutwhat will get them in trouble with the au-thorities, veteran journalist Eric Wisharttold Voice of America (VOA) earlier thisyear. "We talk about the 'red lines' in HongKong, but the paint is still fresh," Wishartsaid. "It is a changing landscape, and that isa big, big challenge for everybody."

Camel Milk: The exotic elixirThe Xmas hamper we re-

ceived this year had anunusual and exotic deli-

cacy. There was a box contain-ing artisanal single-originchocolates made with Camelmilk. The dark chocolates camein different flavours and weresinfully seductive, especiallythose enriched with nuts andcoffee beans.

Truth be told, we had tastedcamel milk during a visit toBikaner some years back butnot exactly fallen in love with itdue to its slightly salty, mildlysour and sharp taste. But the bitethis time did what the initialgulp couldn't.

For centuries camel milkhas been part of the staple dietof the people who have sharedthe harsh desert habitat with theanimal. Traditionally consumedfresh (unboiled) or in the fer-mented form, it has also beenused in folk medicine to treat awide range of ailments from tu-berculosis to gastroenteritis.What then explains the suddensurge of interest in camel milk?The Corona pandemic has en-gendered interest in immune-

boosting superfoods and camelmilk seems to fit the bill per-fectly. Camel milk producersclaim that their offering has fivetimes more vitamin C and 10times more iron than cow'smilk. They also cite scientificstudies that have found higherlevels of sodium, sodium,potassium, zinc, iron, copper,manganese, niacin than in cow'smilk. That has been consideredthe Gold Standard in India.(However, they concede thatlevels of thiamin, riboflavin, fo-lacin, vitamin Bt12, pantothenicacid, vitamin A, lysine and tryp-

tophan were relatively lowerthan those traced in cow milk.)Camel milk low in fat but witha high percentage of unsaturat-ed fatty acids is described to beantimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, antithromboticand more. Not all the claimshave been proven in laboratorytests and one is well-advised notto treat camel milk as a broad-spectrum miracle cure. Whatcan't be overlooked though isthat it appears to have propertiesthat can contribute significantlyto glycemic control and com-bating insulin resistance.

Consuming alcohol duringpandemic linked to more

liver disease, deathsResearchers have

projected the ratesof liver disease and

associated deaths due toincreased alcohol con-sumption during theCOVID-19 pandemic.

The research hasbeen published in the 'He-patology Journal'.

A team led by inves-tigators at MassachusettsGeneral Hospital useddata from a national sur-vey of US adults on theirdrinking habits that foundthat excessive drinking(such as binge drinking)increased by 21 per centduring the COVID-19pandemic. The scientistssimulated the drinkingtrajectories and liver dis-ease trends in all U.S.adults. They estimatedthat a one-year increasein alcohol consumptionduring the COVID-19pandemic will result in

8,000 additional deathsfrom alcohol-related liverdisease, 18,700 cases ofliver failure, and 1,000cases of liver cancer by2040. In the short term,alcohol consumptionchanges due to COVID-19 are expected to cause100 additional deaths and2,800 additional cases ofliver failure by 2023.

The researchers not-ed that a sustained in-crease in alcohol con-sumption for more thanone year could result in

19-35 per cent additionalmortality. "Our findingshighlight the need for in-dividuals and policymak-ers to make informed de-cisions to mitigate the im-pact of high-risk alcoholdrinking during theCOVID-19 pandemic inthe U.S.," said senior au-thor Jagpreet Chhatwal,PhD, associate director ofMGH's Institute for Tech-nology Assessment andan assistant professor ofradiology at HarvardMedical School.
