I condemn it.

I don't understand why the left hand is considered bad when it is such a very important part of our body.

• It is considered as a sin serving food with the left hand.
• They aren’t considered normal if they use their left hand for most activities like writing and playing, with the exception of some activities like eating and drinking.

A TECTONIC FLAW IN ASIAN CULTURES

• Be it India or Japan the Taboo around people who write with left hand grip is obnoxious as well as backed by baseless facts.
• In Japan, is it impolite to do the following things with your left hand: Giving and receiving food Hand-to-mouth transmission of food Touching/tapping someone The Japanese writing system of course also applies to right-handed people and last names" Children are left-handed here, like it used to be in English speaking countries, but here most people now realize that this is not a good idea.
• I know some Japanese people who are left-handed and they claim that they have never even thought about it, but I emphasize that kanji writing is for right-handed people and should be reflected for right-handed people. left hand like me.

A SOUTHPAW OR AN OUTLAW

In Japan, it's miles rude to do the subsequent matters together along with your left hand: Giving and receiving meals Hand-to-mouth transmission of meals Touching/tapping a person The Japanese writing device of path additionally applies to right-surpassed humans and final names" Children are left-surpassed right here, find it irresistible was once in English talking countries, however right here maximum humans now realise that this isn't always an amazing idea.

Japanese individuals who are left-surpassed and that they declare that they have got by no means even concept approximately it, however I emphasize that kanji writing is for right-surpassed humans and ought to be meditated for right-surpassed humans. left hand like me.

In many components of the world, in Africa in addition to in India, the left hand is taken into consideration grimy and it's also taken into consideration insulting to provide it to anyone, even to help. Discrimination towards left-passed humans has existed for hundreds of years in lots of cultures, which include the ones withinside the West. The discrimination towards lefties is going lower back hundreds of years in lots of cultures, which include the ones of the West.

• You may find it odd or even intrusive that complete strangers should want to know that sort of thing, but these subjects are considered polite conversation between strangers in India, and help people place one another in terms of social position.
• International Lefthanders Day is aimed at raising awareness on the advantages, challenges of being lefthanded, in a world that is predominantly designed for the right-handers.
• Living in the world of right-handers often causes challenges in the everyday life and productivity of a left-handed person, as most apparel and utilities, right from buttoned shirts to scissors are designed keeping the majority i.e. right-handed people in mind.

SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH

Negative Effects Of Forcefully Changing Left-Handed Tendency In Children:

This is an important issue given that around 10% of the world's population is left-handed and given recent research demonstrating that child development strongly affects adult outcomes. Using a large, nationally representative sample of young children, we find that the probability of a child being left-handed is not significantly related to child health at birth, family composition, parental employment, or household income. We also find robust evidence that left-handed (and mixed-handed) children perform significantly worse in nearly all measures of development than right-handed children, with the relative disadvantage being larger for boys than girls. Some theories relating to the development of hand preference have suggested that left-handedness is associated with a cognitive advantage, whereas others have proposed that left-handedness is associated with a cognitive disadvantage. Cognitive disadvantage in left-handers is an important finding given that approximately 10% of the world's population is dominantly left-handed, and given recent research demonstrating that child development strongly affects adult outcomes.

While left-handers performed more poorly than right-handers, the most disadvantaged group was children with no hand preference (mixed-handers).

Mixed-handedness and hemispheric indecision result in a suboptimal state in which cognitive abilities do not develop normally. The children with mixed-handedness may therefore be developmentally delayed in relation to their hand preference and cognitive ability, and this has little to do with laterality per se. For this reason, it would be interesting to follow up with these children in the second wave of testing to determine whether their hand preference has been established and whether they are still at a cognitive disadvantage.

THE COGNITIVE DISADVANTAGES of being left- or mixed-handed were observed irrespective of whether the assessment was made by the teacher or a trained assessor, suggesting a reliable and robust effect. A broad range of skills were assessed, including vocabulary, reading, writing, copying, social development, and gross and fine motor skills. Left- and mixed-handed children performed worse than right-handed children on nearly all of these measures. The broad deficit in cognitive ability contradicts suggestions that left-handedness results in a specific language disability. Conversely, two measures showed no effect of hand preference: the PPVT and expressive language skills. The fact that a disadvantage was observed for social/emotional development, approaches to learning, and receptive skills, which do not require written responses, demonstrates that the left/mixed-handedness deficit extends beyond measures requiring fine motor skills. Thus, it would appear that, despite being disadvantaged in most areas of cognitive achievement, left- and mixed-handers have the same ability for verbal expression as right-handers.

Left- or mixed-handedness could be the result of brain pathology acquired around the time of birth. Examination of the distribution of cognitive ability for left- and mixed-handers, as measured by the WAI test, reveals a general leftward shift (i.e., reduction) in ability relative to right-handers, without any change in the shape of the distribution. The majority of the variables had no impact on the child's hand preference.

Examination of the distribution of cognitive abilities in left-handers is also relevant to the debate concerning giftedness. Once again, the spread of cognitive ability was normally distributed, with no sign of increased frequency of left-handers in the upper end. Note, however, that the WAI measures general cognitive ability related to reading, writing, copying, and symbol recognition.

A countrywide screening of DNA samples from all major language groups and regions of India to answer questions about lactase persistence (the technical term for the ability to digest milk after infancy) came to many conclusions, three of which are as follows: first, its distribution in India follows a general north-west to south-east declining pattern.

ANDHRA PRADESH’S FOOD TABOO

For Higher studies, I have jumped in Andhra Pradesh.

It is very ameliorating when it comes to the food taboo that people have observed back in earl 20 century and late 19 century.

• By India's for immigrant women of Indian descent, there is a belief that pregnancy generates a “hot” state, and food that are considered “cold”, are desirable in order to achieve a balance.
• It is believed that delivery brings about weakness, so to return a new mother to a state of balance; it is desirable to include milk, ghee, nuts, and jaggery in the diet, to avoid consuming of cold foods and cold water.

ALCOHOL : TABOO OR NOT!

It is hard for me to usher and consider drinking alcohol in India, as it is flat out considered a disgrace as well as sacrilege.

And I am not talking about the developed cities because living in metropolitan does not mean that the whole story of India is same.

“Dichotomy is in every single thing, only way to minimize it is by embracing it and working toward improving and joining the split.”

WHY IS ALCOHOL TABOO IN INDIA?

In cities like Mumbai and Delhi or what we say the metropolitan cities, alcohol consumption is higher. 40% of men and 20% of women drink in Delhi. In big modern cities like Bangalore, which is known as the “Pub Capital of India,” you can find plenty of young professionals going to happy hours after work.

In fact, India has a huge young population (more than 65% of the population is under 35) which is changing this taboo against alcohol.

Yet if you're traveling in India, it's important to know that the taboo against drinking alcohol still exists and in this article, we'll cover the reasons for that AND how you can enjoy a tipple after a long day of travel.

IS IT ME CONSIDERING IT IMPIETY?

Alcohol culture has developed strongly since the very beginning in our country. We all know that India is a huge subcontinent and hence the consumption habits of consumers are common across all segments. However, it has always been an outdoor sport, People who drink alcohol are generally annoyed by people who don't drink. A few days ago I was on the phone with two of my friends and this topic popped up. After talking with them, I decided to share my views on the matter.

• Applying a conventional curve understanding to income disparities around the world, we find that there are very few people on either side of the curve (either too low or too high).
• Although drinking habits are common across all segments, those on the left are most likely to develop an addiction to it, as the wealthy focus on certain life goals and anything that hinders the achievement of those goals will be considered an obstacle.
• A distant relative of mine also has a drinking problem and as far as I know no one has really seen him for a long time.
• The bottom line is that people in the lower middle of the curve have seen many lives lost to alcohol and strongly believe that it is pure evil that is digging deep within you while digging into you , nurture the happiness of all those around you.
• I met many new people and started liking many of them.
• Furthermore, none of these people had a drinking problem.
• Many of these people could argue for hours that drinking beer with friends is a culture to be cherished rather than a shameful taboo.

CAUTION! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSUMPTION

• Just like a person who has been drinking milk all his life might very well be a shithead, you would never know if the random guy you type-casted as a drunkard turns out to be the founder of the biggest social media giant (He drinks).
• DRINKS companies are targeting Indian women as they begin to abandon traditional taboos about drinking alcohol in public and for the first time join men at the bar.

A Paradigm ‘Pandemic’ Shift:

The five southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala account for almost 45-50% of India's total alcohol consumption and have seen their excise revenue fall dramatically during the pandemic. . It is therefore not surprising that excise sales from alcohol consumption in bars, pubs and fine dining restaurants have also decreased. At a time when grocery and food home delivery has skyrocketed during the pandemic, the question is why alcohol shouldn't be similarly allowed.

LOONSHOT IN LOCKDOWN

• During the coronavirus pandemic the states break the taboo around alcohol. Alcohol-related taboos appear to be fading as states do their best to allow home delivery of alcohol and launch special apps and websites to make it easier to access.
• Mindful of safety issues, state governments had to consider changes to alcohol sales.
• The Value Added Tax (VAT) on alcohol is the main source of state government revenue.
• Policy analysts say it is simple and straightforward that states look at alcohol for its income potential and that alcohol taxes are a major source of this.
• The majority of revenue administered by the state comes from the sale of alcohol, the tax it collects from the sale of alcohol.
• Across Delhi, women say they feel unsafe and uncomfortable trying to buy alcohol from street vendors in squalid neighbourhoods filled with thugs and drunken men.
• In addition, many stores are inaccessible by car or have groups of men shouting, teasing, or teasing women, making it difficult for female customers to purchase alcohol in a safe and respectful manner.

REASONS FOR ALCOHOL BEING CONSIDERED AS TABOO

• The first and the foremost is that , alcohol promotes culturally taboo behaviour
• The ancient spiritual literature, the Vedas, urges people to avoid sin and sensual pleasures, and instead aim for nirvana or moksha.
• There are several passages in the Rig Veda, one of the four sacred texts of Hinduism, that advise people to avoid alcohol.
• However, some Hindus believe that the Vedas encourage drinking because it evokes a state of joy, comfort, enthusiasm and peace.
• Either way, these ancient texts are the foundation of Hinduism, and since 79.8% of India is Hindu, this has had a major impact on attitudes towards drinking.
• But when India gained independence, people talked about banning.
• but each state may ban or allow alcohol.
• Other states like Maharashtra allow drinking but you need to buy a permit.
• However, today, even in states where alcohol is prohibited, you can still buy it if you want.
• Given the importance of alcohol to states' revenues, states should take the lead in this area as it is notable that there is no single authority to oversee this practice and in the digital age , it is better to work with high-tech application.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Finally to sum up all, What prevents us, for example, from discussing masturbation to offering alcohol to women or what we say leftover left-handers? Many actions and words are only taboo because of custom. There are no particular laws that classify things as "taboo." In certain places in the world it is illegal to swear, but oftentimes this is not enforced. However, those behaviours that are classified as taboo usually are a major concern for our society. Various cultures have different taboos, and these rules help people to successfully assimilate into a certain society.

If we start with our own culture, the American society, one would realize that there are a multitude of words and actions that are considered taboo. Masturbation is a perfect example of taboo. As a common behaviour among many Americans, why is it such a taboo word? In our society, we have to think of what the "right" thing is to say. We have all heard the phrase "there is a right time and a right place for everything." American culture has decided that masturbation has no right place among them. Sure, groups of boys discuss masturbation when they are together, but as soon as someone else walks in the room, the conversation quickly changes to sports.
