 Abstract

This research article explores the mass movements in Manipur during the early twentieth century, focusing on their causes, significance, and long-term impact. Following the British conquest of the state in 1891, a series of administrative and economic changes disrupted Manipur's traditional political and social systems, leading to widespread discontent. The study examines key movements such as the 1904 Women's Agitation, the abolition of the Pothang system in 1913, the Zeliangrong Movement (1930-32), and the Nupi Lan (Women's War) of 1939. These protests, often initiated by marginalized groups, especially women, were responses to economic exploitation, cultural suppression, and social injustice under colonial rule. The article analyzes how these movements, although fragmented and spontaneous, collectively contributed to the larger anti-colonial struggle. The Nupi Lan of 1939, in particular, transformed from a rice price protest into a political demand for democratic reforms, symbolizing the convergence of economic and political grievances. Through archival research and historical analysis, the study highlights the critical role of these movements in resisting British imperialism and preserving Manipuri identity. The article argues that these early movements laid the foundation for future resistance, helping to restore the state's pride and autonomy in the face of colonial exploitation.

 Abstract

Independence and interdependence are indispensable ingredients to lead a meaningful and satisfying life, and especially in married life interdependence plays a more important role than independence. This paper investigates various aspects of interapersonal relationships. that emerge between the Indian immigrant couple, Shukumar and Shoba, in Jhumpa Lahiri's short story " A Temporary Matter," approaching the topic from different view points and depths of significance. A chasm is created between them for no fault of them. That is, both of them are not responsible for the death of their child and yet the division widens in due course of time as none of them is willing to look at the problem from the viewpoint of the partner. It is lack of interdependence that mars their married life. And Jhumpa Lahiri's conclusion of the story gives room for different interpretations.

 Abstract

Traffic Problems is a growing problem in many cities. This system addresses this by introducing a movable divider that can be adjusted based on real-time traffic data. Sensors embedded in the road collect traffic data, which is then transmitted to the cloud platform via IoT. The cloud analyzes the data and sends instructions to the divider mechanism, adjusting its position to optimize traffic flow. The algorithm for divider movement considers factors like traffic volume on each side and historical data to predict future patterns. It prioritizes balanced traffic flow but allows for adjustments to create a dedicated lane for detected ambulances. The proposed system offers a dynamic solution for traffic management. It improves traffic flow during peak hours and ensures expedited passage for emergency vehicles, potentially saving lives. The system can be further enhanced by integrating with traffic light control systems and incorporating machine learning algorithms for even more intelligent traffic management.

Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, resulting from insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. This imbalance affects the ovaries leading to the formation of small cysts. Incidence varies between 8-10%, more common amongst infertile women. In present era due to sedentary life style, lack of physical activities, excessive stress and anxiety worsens the prognosis of the diseases. These are a few signs and symptoms associated with the condition- PCOS. Weight gain Irregular menstrual cycle, Facial hair growth, male pattern baldness, Acne which refuses to heal, pigmentation around the neck region and infertility. Darkening of the skin. Dark patches of skin can form in body creases like those on the neck, in the groin, and under the breasts. Hormone changes can trigger headaches in some women. Rising in prevalence of PCOS has become a great cause of health concern as it is increasing the incidences of infertility and metabolic syndrome i.e. insulin resistance diabetes and dyslipidaemia at a younger age. According to Ayurveda the PCOS involves Kapha and Vata Dosha, Meda, Mamsa, Rakta Dhatus. In general, it is considered as Bahudoshavastha, for which Ayurveda can play important role. Especially Panchakarma can have better results which includes Vamana, Virechana, Anuvasana, Niruha & Nasya. Panchkarma may be better line of treatment for PCOS as it works on correcting the underlying root cause along with symptoms of the diseases. And along with shamana drugs it can give better results.
