Hawthorn berry Kashmir berry, leaf, and flower as a heart protector
Hawthorn can feel like a big hug in times of deep need. It is a heart protector, and I think of it as providing nourishment, protection, and a sense of strength to our innate self. The strength is not from a hardness or rigidness, but from a place of boundary where, in fact, there is a greater gentleness sourced from that strength and confidence. According to herbalist Rebecca Altman, hawthorn allows us to fully feel our grief while feeling held at the same time.
Hawthorn is a part of the rose family and offers flowers, leaf, and berry as nourishment. It is safe for long-term use and is a great addition to an overnight infusion (Easley & Horne, 2016). When extracted with water, hawthorn offers the body several supportive actions for emotional self-care.

Community Supported Agriculture in India
What does CSA stand for in agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), one type of direct marketing, consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or inspirit, the community's farm; with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production.
Does it have a different meaning in India?
The millionaires of India or those who care about the health of themselves and their families are always ready to buy fruits and vegetables directly from farmers at exorbitant prices instead of markets and malls. Not only this, but they also invest in their finances. For example, I help them in delivering their fruits, vegetables, herbs, and minerals to these people in Kashmir and abroad, in return, they buy these things at exorbitant prices.
How much does Shilajit cost?
A thick and sticky substance that looks like charcoal posses 85 minerals that provide amazing health benefits.
Real Shilajit resin from Himalayas the gold variant cost around 160 per gram. That. Means approximately Rs 1,60,000/kg. How are you selling it for Rs 20 t0 35 per gram/-.. stop making fool us.

Hawthorn berry Kashmir berry, leaf, and flower as a heart protector
Some of our herbs for emotional self-care have thorns, thus providing protection and boundary in one plant. Thorns offer us the opportunity to notice how fierceness and kindness can exist together. Thorns ask for respect. Thorny trees, shrubs, and bushes often yield soft and sweet fruits—again combining that fierceness and compassion in one.

Religious hate in India is a complex and sensitive issue, deeply rooted in history, politics, and social dynamics. India is a diverse country with a rich mix of religions, including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, and others. While this diversity has historically contributed to India's cultural richness, it has also led to tensions and conflicts at times.
Causes of Religious Hate in India:
Historical Context:
- The partition of India in 1947, which led to the creation of Pakistan, resulted in massive communal violence between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs. The scars of this partition still influence inter-religious relations.
Political Manipulation:
- Some political parties and leaders exploit religious identities for electoral gains. The use of divisive rhetoric and policies often fuels mistrust and animosity between communities.
Misinformation and Social Media:
- The rise of social media has made it easier for hate speech and fake news to spread, often leading to violence. Online platforms are sometimes used to stoke communal tensions.
Communal Riots:
- India has witnessed several communal riots, such as the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the Babri Masjid demolition and subsequent violence in 1992, the Gujarat riots of 2002, and others. These incidents leave lasting mistrust and resentment.
Economic Disparities:
- Economic inequality between religious communities can sometimes exacerbate tensions, as one group may feel disadvantaged or marginalized compared to another.
Identity Politics:
- The assertion of religious identity over national identity has, at times, led to conflicts. This includes debates over conversion, interfaith marriages, or the role of religion in public life.
Cultural Differences:
- Practices, beliefs, and traditions that differ between religions can sometimes be misunderstood or misrepresented, leading to friction.
Impact of Religious Hate:
- Social Polarization: Communities become segregated, reducing interaction and understanding between different groups.
- Violence and Loss of Life: Riots and hate crimes lead to destruction, displacement, and loss of innocent lives.
- Economic Impact: Businesses suffer, and communal violence deters investment and tourism in affected areas.
- Erosion of Secular Values: India’s constitutional commitment to secularism can be undermined by rising religious intolerance.
Ways to Address the Issue:
- Education: Promote values of tolerance, empathy, and interfaith understanding from a young age.
- Strict Law Enforcement: Enforce laws against hate speech and communal violence effectively.
- Community Initiatives: Encourage dialogue and cooperation between religious groups to build trust.
- Media Responsibility: Ensure that media reports responsibly and avoids sensationalism that could inflame tensions.
- Political Accountability: Hold politicians accountable for using divisive rhetoric or policies.
While religious hate is a pressing challenge, it’s important to acknowledge the numerous instances of harmony and coexistence in India’s diverse society. The majority of Indians live peacefully, respecting and celebrating each other’s cultures and beliefs. Combating hate requires sustained efforts from individuals, communities, and institutions alike.

Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits Was a Political Game, Says Former Top Cop Ali Muhammad Watali
![]() |
Availability at https://jkmpic.blogspot.com |
Watali in his book ‘Guns Under My Chinar’ writes that no Kashmiri Pandit had migrated during Dr. Farooq Abdullah’s tenure, asserting that the displacement was politically driven rather than a communal issue.
Watali states that militants targeted both Kashmiri Pandits and pro-India Muslims, suggesting that the idea of India was under attack, rather than any specific community. He emphasized that the pattern of killings supports this perspective.
He further observed that the present generation of Kashmiri Pandits, who are now well-settled across India and abroad, show little interest in returning to the Valley. Even those who were employed under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s special employment package have refused to serve in Kashmir following the targeted killings of some Kashmiri Pandit employees in 2022, despite the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status in 2019.
Dr Farooq Abdullah had echoed similar sentiments, describing the exodus as the "biggest betrayal" of Kashmiri Pandits by Jagmohan, accusing him of using their victimhood for political gains. According to Abdullah, Jagmohan assured the Kashmiri Pandits that their displacement was temporary and that they would return within two months, a promise that was never fulfilled.
