ARTICLES Casteism On Plates When Charles de Gaulle complained about controlling the country with 246 cheeses, he knew nothing about India. Food's taste, variety, and treatment changed every 1km bottom. With more than 4,600 communities, food is the last "nationalized" in our country. Is casteism still a factor in our kitchen? What significance does caste play in India's celebration of cooking? Dhal means split, which is the etymology of how legumes are prepared. Most Indian legumes are dicotyledonous seeds, with half of them being two seeds, as K.T. Ach arya points out. To make cooking simpler, ground them in a food processor, then split and peel them at the same time to produce two broken half dals. Dalit is derived from the same etymon. Dalit was used as a word by activists like poet Namdeodasal to describe those ruined and crushed by society. The use of food words is conscious, as John Thieme and Ira Raja wrote in an introduction to the Oxford Anthology of Food Writing in South Asia. It provides a political identity instead of caste and conveys one's knowledge as oppressed people. The word food was appropriate because the food was one of the most common means of emphasizing a humiliating position for Dalits. Let us take the case of Kanta Prasad, 64 years old, on the other hand, his early recollections are clearly unfilled tools and a rumbling tummy. The crisis was not a stage but daily life. It was like that for all Dalit families in the area in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh district. Because of the scarcity, they had to consume whatever they could acquire, which was only what the top box permitted them to eat. As a youngster, Prasad went through tapering paths with swarms of individuals at whatever point a creature was butchered. Because meat was out of reach for the Dalits, they used large holders to collect the blood, internal tract, and leftovers that the upper castes discarded. Ambedkar isolates individuals into three unique characters: People who do not eat flesh, people who consumed non - veg food other than beef, and those who eat meat. Contemporary recollections of Dalit food are connected inseparably to the standing framework. Let us test out some other cases. To begin with, a Brahmins Dal powdered product became well - known on the internet some time ago, prompting web - based media to target Eastern Ingredients, Kerala's principal food chain. The rage was directed at the attitude of offering superior, onion - garlic - free Sambar powder for the benefit of Brahmins. The fact that our status is embedded in our taste buds and nutritional routines is overlooked by social media. Food snobbery is a part of India, and food associated with the upper classes has always been highly praised. Marking your product as Brahmin (one) in a level delicate India is a means of ex pressing that it boasts of the most amazing form of solidness. Let us get to the second case of "The Brahmin Cafés” The caste has dominated the highlights of cuisine in India, from South Indian chain restaurants and eateries to satisfy Brahminical taste habits to caste - based recipe manuals and staple businesses. The last case is about Dalit Kitchens and Recipes. Nine years ago, a review on Dalit development and gender gathered students from the Women's Studies Centre at Pune University into Dalit kitchens. The undertaking extended its degree to build up culinary comprehensiveness. Isn't This a Native Indian Plate? Dalit Histories and Food Habits is the most authoritative account of what Dalits ate and how they cooked in India. Indian culture is a predicament society, and it revolves mostly around the father's home, cooking preparations, and marriage. Food was vital to the act of distance in the first place, since who could eat what was controlled by the Brahmanical requesting o ff society. Afterwards, this turned into a marker of unadulterated and tainted status. Perceiving this reality, this undertaking hoped to draw in with recollections of Dalit ladies and men to elucidate the position and sexual orientation convergences on th e site of food. What Dalits ate was consistently the food of 8 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 destitution. They never felt that their food ought to be commended. They ate not the food arranged in wealth but plans that began in the kitchen's absence of fixings and destitution. I want to rest this discussion by proposing my concluding statements. In India, what you eat chooses your societal position, financial worth, whom you wed and where you live. As a matter of course, a vegetarian is viewed as perfect, quiet, and unadulterated vis - à - vis a non - vegetarian who, as per well - known insight, is brutal and smudged. We live in a nation where our food can permit us to hold our heads h igh or let it hang in disgrace; the continuous meat boycott conversations and the accompanying fights are proof of this. The second statement I would make is Vegetarianism is ethically predominant, with regards to Hinduism, where Vegetarianism is a marker of upper - standing personality, the food chain of command is an element of the station structure. Consequently, the fights, especially from the previous distant station gatherings, recovering the option to eat intrusive food source s as a marker of their personality, represent an actual test to upper position authority. The brutality that vegan India has released on such offences have exposed the underlying savagery epitomized in the standing framework and questions its case to the m oral prevalence.

Here's a fun list to get you started: - a practise book for handwriting - barbies - Skates - fake snakes - toffees - blank slates, chalkboards, and dusters - hairpins - tweety tote - taking a stroll through the garden - the jhoola that I used to sleep on - the last bench - driving to school with a large w ater bottle - using roti ka aata to make dolls - eating biscuits - taking my folks on an ice cream walk - dozing with Mr. Camlesh (he was my soft toy) - lounging on the patio When I was younger, I was content. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't horrible either. remember - countless days that have passed so quickly When the sudden hot summer rain made me hope I might grow up faster, Dancing round and round again Take me to a time when things were easier. 11 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 I used to sing only nursery rhymes. When my only offence was stealing chocolates, Sleep used to arrive early, about nine o'clock. I used to say, "I am fine," when I was naive of society's worldview. I long to be free and return to that peri od of aesthetics, return to my childhood. 12 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 An Ode On My Life Who am I? You asked this and questioned my existence. Should I reveal the truth or should I just lie? “oh words, words are dead. They can’t define me.” while saying these words I start writing an ode on my life. You see, life is round And we are stuck on this wheel. Who am I? Why do I search for a path? When I know my journey starts and ends with me. I am my blood, my body, my heart, my soul and my mind. The air I inhale, the water I im bibe, The soil from which I awakened and the soil in which i shall die. Who am I? How can I tell I transform every single day that passes by. “oh time, time is a loop. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair” While looking at the clock I continue to write an ode on my life. Well, I am all of My past, my present and my future I am the child who is innocent and who dreams. Fretted by the sallies of my mother’s 13 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 kisses. I am the teenager who appeals to be free. Cursing the society, in resistance i believe. I am the adult who knows the purity of pure despair. Even with people I feel alone, I cry until my tears dry. I will let you see But only with half an eye. “oh, starry starry night! This is how i want to die” while adoring the moon I finish writing the ode on my life. I contain art. I am Picasso’s weeping woman and I am Bukowski’s bluebird. I am nature and emotions, The euphoria, the disgust, the melancholy and the grief. This world is too small for me. I contain a u niverse within. This is what I wonder When I look at that dark sky. You must not know it all so, I have to say goodbye. “oh me, I am nothing But a wise animal” While talking to the mirror I present an ode on my life. Know thyself. I am known by a few. This is all who I am. Now the query, my friend, is - “who are you?” And by asking this I question your existence. Now you have to decide. Would you tell the truth or would you just lie? 14 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 It’s Not Easy It's not easy to provide shade. One has to bear the heat of the sun. It's not easy to be true. One has to fight against thrall of lies. It's not easy to smile always. One has to be numb to overcome disasters. It's not easy to be generous. One has to give away his greed and avarice. It's not easy to light others life. One has to face heat of the light and has to melt like the wax. It's not easy to be humble. One has to move like water. It's not easy to be tough like a rock. One has to keep check on its weathering. It's not easy to remain clean one has to make umbrella of knowledge to escape the rain of dirt. But by becoming whatever is not easy. You will become the real man. 15 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 Federer, Nadal & Djokovic Who doesn’t know Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic? I believe everyone does. While I am writing this article, the final decision regarding Novak Djokovic has been made and the high voltage drama related to his Australian Open participation comes to an end. Several people are supporting Novak Djokovic and on the other hand, some people have already called him ‘worst sportsman ever’. Apart from this, Rafael Nadal is partic ipating in the Australian Open, intending to win his 21st grand slam title and go one step ahead of Federer and Djokovic. Roger Federer is currently trying to recover from his knee injury. Therefore, this is the right time to ask, “Who is the real GOAT of men’s tennis?” What do the statistics say? Considering the grand slams, the big three are stuck together on 20 grand slams each. Federer leads as far as career titles are considered with 103 titles, followed by Nadal (88 titles) and Djokovic (84 titles). Nadal has won 2 gold medals (in singles and doubles) while Federer has one gold medal and one silver medal. Djokovic has won a bronze medal. At ATP masters tournaments, Djokovic has the first position (37 titles) followed by Nadal (36 titles) and Federer (28 titles). Djokovic has been ranked number one for 355 weeks, followed by Federer (310 weeks) and Nadal (209 weeks). The money factors 16 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 Federer earned $106.3 million in total earnings in 2020, according to Forbes. Djok ovic, on the other hand, earned $44.6 million, and Nadal, $40 million. Federer's bank account is healthy despite being sidelined for the majority of 2020 because of a $300 million 10 - year contract he signed with Uniqlo in 2018. The grand slam and opponents also matter Normally, when we talk about the big 3, we consider 4 grand slams. There are four grand slams – Australian Open (January), French Open (May), Wimbledon (July), US Open (September). If we consider the variety of domi nance, Federer is the king. He holds 6 Australian Open titles, 8 Wimbledon, 5 US Open, and 1 French Open title. As everyone knows, Nadal is the king of Clay, having a record 13 French Open titles. Apart from this, he has 1 Australian Open title, 2 Wimbledon titles, and 4 US Open titles. If he wins the Australian Open 2022, he will be the only player having one all grand slam title twice as well as an Olympic gold medal. Djokovic’s titles consist of 9 Australian Open titles, 3 Us Open titles, 2 French Open titles and 6 Wimbledon tiles. When it comes to opponents, Federer has defeated some greats as Andre Agassi (8 grand slam titles), Marat Safin, Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, Marcos Baghdadis, Andy M urray, Juan Martin Del Petro, Marin Cilic, etc. However, the Spaniard and the Serbian have dominated only limited players like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka till recent times. Social media dominance Nadal leads as far as followers on Twitter and Instagram are concerned, while Federer has the most followers on Facebook. Twitter Roger Federer – 12.7 M Novak Djokovic – 9 M Rafael Nadal – 15.6 M Facebook Roger Federer – 18 M Novak Djokovic – 10 M Rafael Nadal – 14 M Instagram Roger Fede rer – 8.8 M Novak Djokovic – 10 M Rafael Nadal – 12.7 M 17 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2, JULY 2020 The final verdict When a player reaches the high of big threes’, there are millions of young boys and girls who see them as role models. Djokovic is always seen shouting, breaking his rackets, throwing balls, abusing umpires and opponents, which Nadal and Federer have hardly done. Tennis is a gentlemen’s game, and Djokovic doesn’t seem to have understood it. The recent drama between him and the government of Australia shows his ego and irresponsible behavior which is not at all expected from a person in his position. He might be the greatest statistically, mentally, but he is certainly not the greatest tennis player of all time, in my opinion. If Nadal had not faced so many injuries, probably the Spaniard would be ahead of Federer in terms of rankings, grand slams. It is quite difficult to decide the GOAT between Nadal and Federer. However, considering the huge period of career, variety of opponents and surfaces and a constant, calm behavior which suits as a role model of millions, in my opinion, Roger Federer is THE GREATEST TENNIS PLAYER OF ALL TIMES.
