<p>“This is the story of my reckoning with myself and the world around me...” These are the words with which social activist and writer Gita Ramaswamy starts narrating the journey of her life that started with becoming a revolutionary at home and eventually finding a pedestal to fight and struggle for the basic rights of the deprived labourers in her book “Land Guns Caste Woman: The Memoir of a Lapsed Revolutionary”.<br />
<br />
The book is awash with anecdotes of her struggle against societal dogmas, growing involvement with the Naxalite movement in the 1970s and the battle for landless Dalits of Ibrahimpatnam in Telangana in the 1980s. As she speaks about the caste diktats and deprivation faced by the powerless people, the book emerges like a bundle of a dreamer's tale of hardship and struggle sewn by courage, belief and hope to see a better and changed future someday.<br />
<br />
But Gita Ramaswamy says collating a memoir was never the plan. “I never planned to collate it as a memoir. My husband died six years ago and after he passed away, I went through a very difficult time. At that time, I thought if I wrote about the times which were good and joyous, it would help me come out of that depression. So, I wrote the first draft in 2018 and I just kept it to myself. It was during the&nbsp;pandemic, when we had time in our hand, that I went back to the script and worked over it, after which it emerged as a full-fledged book,” Ramaswamy said&nbsp;while speaking to WION.</p>

<p>Today, the book has made it to the Shortlist of Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize 2023 and has a fair chance to clinch the title. After the decades-long journey, which took her from being a part of the Naxalite movement to fighting against the powerful Reddys in Ibrahimpatnam, today as she looks back at those struggle years, she calls herself “a lapsed revolutionary”.<br />
<br />
“Revolutionary means to me those who have joined the militant struggle. I was part of the Naxalite movement from 1973-76. After that, I left the Naxalite movement and hence, I see myself as a lapsed revolutionary,” Ramaswamy said.<br />
<br />
The memoir stands at a different place with Ramaswamy's unabashed acceptance of misjudgements and failures and gives readers a very honest understanding of the ground realities. Speaking about her dismay and wish to run away from Ibrahimpatnam, she said, “In Ibrahimpatnam, if I had a group of people like me, who were educated and had resources and network, and were willing to work in rural areas that would have certainly helped me to continue.”</p>

<h2><strong>A 'crazy' feminist turned communist</strong></h2>

<p>Her feminist ideals speak throughout the memoir as she talks about the struggles of wearing a bra and being considered a 'slut' and the Dalit women being denied to repudiate their debts by the landlords. But interestingly, at one given point in time, Ramaswamy expresses how she didn't see any contradiction between feminism and communism.</p>

<p>“It was really in the early 70s when I did not see any contradiction between feminism and communism. Because I came to communism through feminism. I was a feminist because of the conditions at home and I was rebellious. At that time communist texts were not available to me but feminist texts were. I had read the feminist texts before I came to college and it had a great impact on me. In college, when I talked about issues of feminism I was considered very odd, almost crazy. Only the leftists, accepted my ideas and did not see me as a crazy woman,” explains Ramaswamy.<br />
<br />
“And for me, it was a great relief to find a group that did not think I was crazy. So, that's how I came to work on both issues. At that time, I did think feminism addressed inner life and Marxism addressed outer life, although I don't perceive it that way now,” she added.</p>

<h2><strong>Shadows of Emergency</strong></h2>

<p>Ramaswamy's memoir also traces back to the days when India was under Emergency and it was perceived as a dominant movement that overshadowed other political movements for restoration of democracy back in the day.<br />
<br />
Speaking about her struggle through those dark days, she said, “There was no hope at the time of Emergency. We really thought the Emergency won't be lifted and so we prepared for the long haul which is why we wrote exams in Punjabi. My husband and I wrote exams in Punjabi to create a new identity and in a way disappear. We got the 10th class certificate as Jyoti and Vijay and we decided to go to Chattisgarh and work there. However, the Emergency was lifted. But many of the activists had given up and gone back to family and career.”<br />
<br />
Today, the book has made it to the Shortlist of New India Foundation's Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay NIF Book Prize 2023 which is India’s largest and most respected Book Prize for non-fiction in the area of modern and contemporary Indian history. The prize was instituted in 2018 and carries an award of Rs 1.5 million ($17997 approx.) as well as a citation at the Bangalore Literature Festival. The final winner will be announced on December 1.<br />
<br />
Speaking about the book being part of the Shortlist of NIF Book Prize 2023, Ramaswamy said, “My publishers have put in a lot of work and I would like to see their work also being rewarded. This award is for the book and not for me. If the award helps me connect with the younger generation who like and resonate with the book, it will be really thrilling and wonderful.”<br />

Triple murder case: Indian student faces charge of murdering three family members in US

<p>The extinction of dinosaurs on Earth is said to be the most massive blow to life on the planet after it was hit by an asteroid.<br />
<br />
However, there have been many hints which suggest that asteroids may not have been&nbsp;the reason behind the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, but only the most spectacular isolated contribution.<br />
<br />
Before the dramatic event unfolded nearly 66 million years ago, toxic winds of change had started blowing in the air.<br />
<br />
In a new analysis carried out by an international team of researchers, new evidence has been added to the claims before the asteroid explosion, the world was anything but a paradise, as the measures of sulfur reached critical levels in the atmosphere.</p>

<p>Along with other studies on levels of mercury, the research has observed a signature of volcanic activity which was strong enough to lead to significant climate disruptions.<br />
<br />

The extinction of dinosaurs on Earth is said to be the most massive blow to life on the planet after it was hit by an asteroid. However, there have been many hints which suggest that asteroids may not have been the reason behind the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, but only the most spectacular isolated contribution.

The extinction of dinosaurs on Earth is said to be the most massive blow to life on the planet after it was hit by an asteroid. However, there have been many hints which suggest that asteroids may not have been the reason behind the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, but only the most spectacular isolated contribution. Before the dramatic event unfolded nearly 66 million years ago, toxic winds of change had started blowing in the air. In a new analysis carried out by an international team of researchers, new evidence has been added to the claims before the asteroid explosion, the world was anything but a paradise, as the measures of sulfur reached critical levels in the atmosphere. Also read: Dinosaurs might be roaming some other planet, new study finds Along with other studies on levels of mercury, the research has observed a signature of volcanic activity which was strong enough to lead to significant climate disruptions.

Not a meteorite, but India's Deccan Traps may have led to extinction of dinosaurs from Earth: Study

<p>The impending peak in the activity cycle of the Sun will likely arrive significantly sooner than earlier predicted. As per the analysis carried out by astrophysicists Priyansh Jaswal, Chitradeep Saha, and Dibyendu Nandy at the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences India, the peak in solar activity is likely to hit as early as January 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is much earlier than the official predictions of solar activity reaching its maximum in July 2025.</p>

<p>There may be better ways to predict the behaviour of the Sun than the methods used earlier for making official predictions regarding the current solar cycle, solar cycle 25, the Indian researchers said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Solar cycles have been mysterious and it has never been clear what drives them. In simpler terms, after every 11 years, the magnetic field of the Sun reverses polarity. &nbsp;This reversal in polarity is accompanied by the rise and fall of solar activity like sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The point at which the places are switched by the poles is called solar maximum, which is characterised by a peak reached in activity.</p>

<p>After several years, the solar minimum follows and the Sun deescalates its activity before it again gears up for the next maximum. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Solar cycle 25 may be the 'strongest' in history</strong></h2>

<p>The scientists track and predict when the next maximum will occur on the basis of a number of sunspots which speckle the face of the Sun. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The last solar minimum, which marked the end of solar cycle 24, took place in 2019.

<p>Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy said that infrastructure projects need to be completed by the government on priority and emphasised the requirement of three working shifts, not just one. The comment was made by the Indian billonaire while discussing the need to bring development in his home city Bengaluru in the next 5-10 years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Completing the Electronics City Metro and expanding to other areas, where there are a lot of companies located, must be prioritised," said Murthy, while engaging in a fireside chat with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath at the Bengaluru Tech Summit on November 29.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He appealed to the infrastructure industry to move ahead of the traditional one-shift. "They should not work just one shift, come 11 am and go at 5 pm," he added.</p>

<p>He stated that people with ambitious aspirations generally operate on two work shifts in the country. He added that if a similar approach is embraced by India, it can surpass the growth of China. "Elsewhere in the nation with high aspirations, people work - I have seen two shifts because I would return around midnight. And I've seen people working as if they're going to disappear tomorrow morning. So, while I cannot vouch for three shifts there, I can vouch for two shifts," Murthy said.</p>

<p>"Now if we want to be better than all those countries, why don't we say our people will work three shifts? Ask them what the requirements are for them to complete their work by working three shifts, and provide them with that. I think there is a little bit of these things that can be done by our leaders. And if we did that, then I have no doubt why India cannot grow even faster than China, not just in growth alone. Our base is only 3.5 trillion, whereas China's is 19 trillion. But we will catch up with China, and hopefully, one day we can overtake China. But that requires making quick decisions, ensuring that all hurdles for entrepreneurs like you and others today, I'm not an entrepreneur, are removed as if there is no tomorrow," he added. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Murthy's comments spark another debate on social media</strong></h2>

<p>During the fireside chat, Murthy discussed English medium schools for talented resources for the software industry of the city, quick decision-making by the government and focus on infrastructure. He said that Bengaluru contributes to nearly 35-37 per cent of India's total software exports.

5 Ways To Reduce Creatinine Levels For Healthy Kidneys

Although protein is important for muscle health, excessive amounts of protein can result in increased creatinine levels. A high-protein diet can have a negative impact on kidneys, and hence protein intake should be kept in check.

The liver produces creatine which gets transported to the muscle where it increases muscle growth and energy. Creatine is present in oral protein supplements which are consumed for improving athletic performance. People with increased creatinine levels should avoid it.

Lack of water leads to a build-up of creatinine levels in the kidneys. As per nutritionists, not drinking enough water affects creatinine levels.


Foods with a lot of salt can lead to high blood pressure and further damage the kidneys. As per a study published in the Journal of Nephrology, high salt intake can have detrimental effects on kidney function.

Consumption of a high-fibre diet helps in managing creatinine levels and decreases the risk of kidney diseases. As per a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was discovered that increasing dietary fibre improves kidney function.
