Love Beyond


It is the first Valentine’s Day after the demolition of Article 377. For those of you who aren’t keeping up with the Supreme Court’s business, the Supreme Court had decriminalized section 377 of the IPC and with it decriminalized consensual adult sex saying sexual orientation is natural and people have no control on it. It was a progressive step to show support to the LGBT community and also reinforce that love has no defined form, way or orientation. Many people from the LGBT community can celebrate freely and without the terror of being discovered, judged, hated or discriminated against or at least officially. The truth is that India, among many other societies, is yet to break their stereotypes about LGBT people and begin to understand or see them as a part of the human race they belong to. It is shocking to see the level of disgust of people about something they understand so little. The unawareness gives rise to blind hate and hate crimes even apart from the psychological torment they are made to undergo. I think awareness is the first step of acceptance. So avoiding conversations about homosexuality must be stopped. Knowing about a stigma or talking about it can desensitize it and heal the divide in the society. Let’s join hands to spread love and harmony this. Let us make this festival about more than ourselves. If we love loud then it can overpower all hurdles of hate, violence and discrimination. Use social media to speak love. Make the message loud and clear that hate and stigma will not exist any longer. Happy valentine’s day! Love loud, love free!

Gene is made up of DNA. When a new DNA is introduced into the cell of patient to treat a genetic disorders the technique is called gene therapy.   Diseases are mostly caused by disease-causing mutated genes, usually new DNA contains a functional gene to correct the effect of mutation caused by mutated gene. The DNA is selected carefully to correct the disease causing gene. Gene therapy is a topic of interest now a days, as many research approaches are testing includi...

The objective of education is to relate it to the life, needs and aspirations of the people and thereby make it the powerful instrument of social, economic and cultural transformation necessary for the realization of the national goals.
