Sea level rise: Inundation of coastal India Global warming is making sea level rise. Sea level, however, will not rise appreciably overnight, not in months, not even in years. The rise will assume dangerous proportions only over a substantial length of time, perhaps over decades. The assertions are not designed to make you complacent my readers, but you need not panic either. The sensationalist movies and documentaries that you have been watching show the sea invading deep into eastern India, inundating the capital of West Bengal Kolkata,...

Global Warming to Make Ganges Run Dry? Global warming, now in 2008, is real, and upon us. How will global warming affect the rivers in India; will they all dry up? Can the holy Ganges, the river that has shaped and sustained Indian civilisation through the ages, who we Indians revere as the life-giving mother, run dry! Many climate experts and environmentalists, in the last ten years, have been making dire predictions of the Ganges becoming seasonal. Some doomsayers have even gone to the extent of boldly predicting the river to be ep...	N Das	Yamuna Singh: As dharma is destroyed by the modern day asura"s in India, we are bound to see India turning into a vast desert due to drying up of rivers and less rainfall... [1 comments]
Orissa: Fight poverty, not each other I have lived and worked in 6 countries, including India, and visited dozens more. I am purposefully harping on my cosmopolitan experience to add authenticity to my observations that have an important bearing on the subject matter of this article. I have seen quite a few Oriya cultural associations in foreign lands and have participated in some, either as a member or as an invitee. The single most noticeable feature of Oriya associations abroad, regardless of their size: be they tiny with 10 memb...	N Das	Add Comment
Remembering the Horrors of Nuclear Attack Hiroshima Day is not a day of celebration; it is a day of remembrance. This sombre observance is a reminder of a quarter of a million souls who have perished due to a single catastrophic explosion on a bright and beautiful sunny Monday morning of the 6th of August 1945 in Hiroshima, brought about by an American nuclear attack. The uranium fuelled atom bomb detonated at 8.15 am, 600 meters (2000 feet) above the ground surface, in a calculated devilish design to maximise the devastation, reduced t...	N Das	S.Ghosh: USSR already made a separate arrangement for the surrender for Japan on 8th August 1945 (Gar Alperovitz, The Decision To Use The Atomic Bomb And The Architecture Of An American Myth, Knopf, New York, 1995). There was no hostility between Japan an.... [2 comments]
Kaya Yoga: Road to happiness, health& long.. Kaya Yoga is a holistic system for health and well-being that lays emphasis on the proper intake of air, right consumption of water, and a balanced diet in addition to the practice of the very best few postures of asana, praanaayama, bandha, mudra, and internal cleansing. The choice of this narrow range of techniques is deliberate, and is designed to effectively serve the time-poor of the twenty-first century. Kaya Yoga does not advocate the mastery of the entire array of yoga and praanaayama te...	N Das	Add Comment
Proper Management of Largest Dam in.. The largest dam of the country, Hirakud that was inaugurated in 1957 continues to be the single most important piece of infrastructure of the state of Orissa. The multipurpose Hirakud Dam was built primarily for flood-control, and the two secondary functions were irrigation and power generation. Hirakud has been irrigating around 155,635 hectares of land for Khariff and 108,385 hectares for Rabi crops every year, and generates about 300 MW of electricity per year. Hirakud has been largely succes...	N Das	Add Comment
Caring For The Rivers In India Vyaasadev who composed the Mahabharata and Durga Saptasati, towards the end of his life while still engaged in intellectual pursuits by the banks of the venerable Saraswati, observed that the magnificent civilisation that stood beside, and is nurtured by, the life-giving Saraswati, will disappear due to the moral decline of the citizenry. His observation, nay prophecy, came true. What he was referring to was the greed of the citizenry and their blatant disregard for, and rampant abuse of, natura...	N Das	Add Comment
Awareness of Water Quality Water is the prime limiting factor for the sustenance, growth and development of human civilisation. From a human perspective, the planet earth has no dearth of land, but has a serious shortage of fresh-water that makes large areas of the earth uninhabitable. This precious natural resource and its quality must be managed carefully, simply for the very survival of our human species. Fresh-water for human consumption is obtained from rivers or lakes, and from the ground below.Contamination of fres...	N Das	Add Comment
