As a civil servant to develop a policy that addresses the problems and to get the desired outcomes, you should know the different perspectives of analyzing an issue. A normal person also knows how society works and how people think. But what is the difference between a normal person and a civil servant? Suppose that to know the reasons for women’s backwardness in society mostly everyone using their common sense says that the dominating mindset of men, the patriarchal system are the reasons.

Studying Sociology helps in seeing multiple dimensions. For the same problem one soc...

Stampedes are now a days in the news mostly. In recent times In the month of December we saw, Stampede at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. Later we saw at Tirumala Temple in Andhra and now very recently at Maha Kumbh in UP. What do you think are the Reasons for this and why they happen very frequently?                                          It is very easy to blame the Govt. Or the Actor in the Hyderabad case for the incident. But it is very true that no one does it knowingly. These incidents serve as guidance for future handling of mega events. In a lot of cases what happens is due to barriers like stones, garbage in the way many people move slowly and the people from back come at the usual speed. This congestion creates choke points. Also if there is any special attraction or any barriers a lot of people accumulate at the place. This also increases the crowd density. Mos...

 Rupee Depreciation has been one of the hot topics in the recent TV Debates and all over the media. What’s actually the issue? Let’s Deep dive. Have you ever had a thought why 1 Rupee is not equal to 1 USD. Actually it was, In 1947 while India achieved independence as it did not have any external debt. But it saw a first major devaluation in the year 1966 due to Indo Pak War in 1962 and the Indo China War in 1965 which led to the government spending a lot on them thus led to financial crises in India. Foreign Aids and IMF Loans came with a condition to devalue from 1 $ = 4.76 Rupee to 7.50 Rupee. Over the period of 25 years it further depreciated to 17.5 Rupees in 1991.

Kumbh Mela was assumed to be started by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th Century. Many Hindus believe that the Kumbh Mela originated in times immemorial and is attested in the Hindu Puranas about Samudra Manthana (lit. churning of the ocean). Dhanvantri emerged carrying a pitcher of amrita, or the elixir of immortality. To make sure the Asuras don’t get it, Indra’s son, Jayant, ran off with the pot. The Sun, his son Shani, Brihaspati (the planet Jupiter), and the Moon went along to protect him and the pot. As Jayant ran, the amrita spilt at four spots: Haridwar, Prayagraj, Ujjain, and Nashik-Trimbakeshwar. He ran for 12 days, and as one day of the Devas is equal to one year of humans, Kumbh Mela is celebrated at these locations every 12 years. So everyone take bath at these places to gain immortality. This is not the only theory available, there are many other stories also. But this is widely believed by Hindu society. Chinese Traveller o...
