CULTURAL QA 03202405A Q1 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind?
KR Dr. C. N. Annadurai. Once in Yale University, USA, the following question was posed to the silver-tongued personality by a native speaker of English: Can you construct a sentence in English by using because three times in it? The instantaneous response from Dr. C. N. Annadurai was: *No sentence ends in because, because, because is a conjunction* Q2 If the Aryan invasion theory is false, then why are the Indian people in the Northern parts fairer than that of the southern parts? KR Another nonsense spinning connecting the knee cap with bald head. Is colour white and black depends on North South? Who told you? In Nadar Family most males are black where their wives will be pure white; How? Wives from north and males from south.? Women were also only from Pure Nadar family. Aryan invasion theory was a fabrication of the British to equate their religion at least equal to Christianity but failed miserably and ending certain eras as a blot in the annals of the Indian history which till date, we are unable to throw off. Mr Gopalakrishna may stop with the jokes and nothing wrong if written after reading fully volumetric materials before harping as parrot from the avivekis. Aryan Invasion Theory falsity by Dr NS Rajaram Please read 2 Long ago I wrote a video on all the DNA matching experiments conducted in Madurai Kamaraj University and travel by human across CD released and still available from MK university where it is clearly stated how the nations across miserably feel bad to hold the African migration theory as the DNA match numbers like mentioned here by an ardent learner had written 14xxxxx etc etc. Those Darwinism is on paper only. While Pangia splits and earth grids movements had changed many focuses. Reading kids’ stuff from QUORA will land only in trouble which cannot be wiped out by being angry with words of abuse. Mr G must at least a few before 81 to become a man on right path or else more brickbats will be there sir. Thank you K Rajaram IRS 5324 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q3 What are the credentials of Harkchandra Savla KR Framing of the question itself shows half baked knowledge of the compiler. About Harakchand a book has come and the title is Hero of India; and is it any credential/ It is only a credential for the compiler having learnt only now; but do the compiler took any pain to learn such persons all over India in existence and if I write it may run for days? And what he can do as his line is limited surrounded by avivekis only. “Heroes of Kindness - Indian edition Dr Roshan Radhakrishnan 2018 For the last few years, I have been maintaining a list of real life Heroes of Kindness and Compassion from across the world.

Selected quora answers generally interesting including jokes are included Still they need not be 100% correct answers. I am only a compiler. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 05-03-2024. Q1 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind? A1 Ravinder Ravi, Knows some stories of smart people Updated 6y I read this a long time ago. Even though the incident is hard to believe because there is no proper proof, it is still quite interesting and memorable. C. N. Annadurai was a prominent chief minister of the Tamil Nadu state of India who was known for his proficiency in languages - particularly English and Tamil. Once he went on a foreign tour to Yale university during 1968. He was awarded the Chubb Fellowship at Yale University, being the first non-American to receive this honour There he was requested to speak to the students. During an interactive session held with students, guys were allowed to ask some puzzle like questions that tests one's English proficiency. One of the guys asked him to say a hundred words in English which don't contain the letters A, B, C or D. Annadurai immediately started to tell the words one by one. They are one, two, three up to ninety nine! Everyone present around there were surprised and waiting for his 100th word. If he said 'hundred' he would have failed but after 'ninety nine', he said 'STOP'. The crowd was filled with a minute of huge applause. Q2 If the Aryan invasion theory is false, then why are the Indian people in the Northern parts fairer than that of the southern parts? A2 Ambika Vijay, Indian Updated 2y Note : Aryan invasion is not accepted by the Academia. It is Aryan migration theory. Current Indian population was shaped by four major migrations, so everyone is a mix. The accepted major migrations are : Out of Africa migrations(South Asian hunter gatherers), Proto Dravidian migrations, Austroasiatic migrations (Mundas, Khasis) , Steppe migrations (Aryans) Aryan migration or the Steppe migration was largely responsible for the introduction of a light skin allele now found through out the sub continent. To understand how Aryans introduced the light skin allele to the Indian subcontinent : Geneticists propose that as humans started to colonize higher latitudes, where Ultra violet radiation levels were lower, dark skin could not absorb sufficient UVR for efficient vitamin D synthesis, hence natural selection favored the evolution of light skin. One of the key pigmentation genes in humans is SLC24A5. An allele of this gene rs1426654 explains 25–38% of the skin color variation between Europeans and West Africans. The ancestral (rs1426654- G) allele of the SNP predominates in African and East Asian populations (93–100%), whereas the derived (rs1426654 - A) allele is almost fixed in Europe (98.7–100%) A recent study showed that the light skin associated allele in South Asians is identical by descent to that found in Europeans.[1] The study found that rs1426654-A allele is responsible for light skin in Indians. Frequency of SLC24A5 among global populations: In short : Early Humans were all dark. When humans first moved out of Africa and colonized higher latitudes, they developed light skin. The Gene responsible for light skin is SLC24A5 A variation of an allele of this gene rs1426654-A is responsible for light skin in Europeans and South Asians. The ancestral allele rs1426654-G is predominantly found in Africans and East Asians. The study found that Indo Aryan speakers have the highest percentage of this allele. The Light skin Allele is high in Northern and North western regions and virtually absent in NE India : The study also found that there is a general trend of rs1426654-A allele frequency being higher in the Northern (0.70±0.18) and Northwestern regions (0.87±0.13), moderate in the Southern (0.55±0.22), and very low or virtually absent in Northeastern populations of the Indian subcontinent They found that the rs1426654-A allele frequency in South Asia does not significantly correlate with latitude (r = 0.23, p = 0.15). However, a significant negative correlation with longitude (r = −0.49; p = 0.002) was observed. The Map shows the distribution of the Allele rs1426654-A : They found that the Tibeto-Burman and the Austroasiatic language families have the lowest frequencies of the A allele. The rs1426654-A allele frequency was significantly higher in Indo-European speakers than in other language groups. In particular, there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between the A allele frequencies of the Indo-European and the Dravidian speaking groups. They found that both language and geography have a significant influence on rs1426654-A allele frequency, as revealed by Mantel tests (p<0.001). To make it simple : Humans who settled in Eurasia evolved to have rs1426654-A allele.When the steppe migrations happened they brought this allele into Indian subcontinent.Indo Aryan speakers have the highest percentage. There was significant difference in the percentage of this A allele, between Indo Aryan speakers and Dravidian speakers. Austroasiatic speakers and Tibeto-burman speakers have the lowest percentage of this allele. To have a rough idea of how these early populations might have looked : The proxy for Indo Aryans : According to Narasimhan et al The Modern Indian Cline intersects the Steppe Cline at a position close to the position of the Kalash,the group in northwest South Asia with the highest ANI ancestry proportion. So, Kalash tribes are a proxy for Indo Aryan populations: So the first Steppe migrants might have looked like this. The Proxy for South Asian hunter gatherers are the Irulas : The SHG populations would have had skin pigmentation close this : Austroasiatic populations : the Mundas : Footnotes[1]The Light Skin Allele of SLC24A5 in South Asians and Europeans Shares Identity by Descent Q3 What are the credentials of Harkchandra Savla A3 Chauhan Babu Nath,Sun A young man of about thirty years was standing on the footpath in front of the famous Tata Cancer Hospital in Mumbai. The young man was watching with great attention the patients standing at the door of death on the stairs of the hospital.The feeling of pain and distress was clearly visible on their faces. Along with these patients, their relatives were also worried.Within a short time this scene started troubling the young man. Most of the patients present there were from remote villages, who did not even know what to do, whom to meet? These people did not even have money for medicine and food. Seeing this scene in front of Tata Cancer Hospital, the thirty year old young man returned home with a heavy heart. He decided to do something for them. The desire to do something did not let him sleep day and night. Finally he thought of a way. That young man collected some money by renting his hotel. With this money, he started charity work by taking a building right in front of Tata Cancer Hospital. His activity has now completed 27 years and is progressing every day. The said charitable organization provides free food to cancer patients and their relatives. This work started with about fifty people and the number kept increasing continuously. As the number of patients increased, helping hands also started increasing. Despite facing every season of winter, heat and rain, this work did not stop. The name of the young man who did this noble work was Harkchand Savla. After getting success in a work, Harkchand Savla started supplying free medicines to the needy. For this, he has created a Medicine Bank, in which three doctors and three pharmacists provide voluntary service. Not only this, a bank of toys has also been opened for children suffering from cancer. You will be surprised to know that 'Jeevan Jyot' Trust established by Savla for cancer victims is working on more than 60 projects today. Even at the age of 57, Savla's enthusiasm and energy is the same as 27 years ago.His contribution to humanity needs to be saluted. It is ironical that today people look at Sachin, who played 200 Test matches in 20 years and scored a few centuries and thirty thousand runs, as a god. Whereas no one even knows the person who provides free food to 10 to 12 lakh cancer patients. Here there is also a question on the role of media, which ignores people like Savla. It should also be mentioned here that Google does not even have a picture of Savla. We have to understand that God will not be found by donating lakhs of rupees at places like Pandharpur, Sai Temple in Shirdi, Tirupati Bala Ji etc. But for the last 27 years, cancer patients and their relatives have found God in the form of Harkchand Savla. Spread this message to as many people as possible so that Harkchandra Savla can get his share of fame and those doing such work can be encouraged!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
