Goats are vital part of rural India, valued for their hardiness and ability to survive in limited resources. India has a rich diversity of goat breeds each suitable for specific climates and production needs. Prominent dairy breeds include Jamunapari, Beetal, Barbari and Sirohi. The Jamunapari goat, often called as the ‘Queen of goats’, can yield more than 2 litres of milk per day. It is majestic breed of goat having convex nose line with a tuft of hair known as ‘roman nose’ or parrot mouth appearance. Angora, Saanen and Alpine are some of the important exotic breeds of goat. Goats are often referred as the ‘poor man's cow’, because they require lower investment than cattle and can survive on minimal or low quality feed, reproduce quickly, and provide continuous income through milk, meat, manure and sale of kids. Their ability to thrive in drought-prone and resource-scarce regions makes them an indispensable asset for small and marginal farmers.
A major centre for goat research and breed improvement in the country is ICAR-Central Institute for Research on Goats CIRG located at Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, functioning under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research ICAR, Government of India.
The meat of mutton is called 'Chevon' and is widely consumed in the country and offers good remuneration to the goat rearing farmers. Goat's milk has seen rising demand due its digestibility and nutrition profile. They are rich in minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorous and also vitamin-A. The easy digestibility is the strongest advantage of goat’s milk making it suitable for individuals as it supports energy metabolism, gut health and immunity.
My study of Lahu was carried out during three major fieldtrips in Northern Thailand. These texts, recorded well over half a century ago, reflect a vanished world. It was a time when the forests of Burma and Thailand teemed with game; when “slash-and-burn” agricultural techniques were universal in the hills of Southeast Asia; when animist villages resisted the introduction of missionary Christianity, and religious syncretism was the order of the day; a time before electricity, when people used pine-torches to light their way at night; before young men left the villages to seek work in towns; and, above all, from the linguist’s point of view, a time when the Lahu language was still vibrant in all semantic areas and still relatively free of foreign influences. I was interested in hearing and tape recording Lahu spoken in all kinds of situational contexts, the villagers would talk over various subjects building a house, the stages of cultivating, boar-hunting, crab-gathering, killing a pig for a feast, the institution of the village headman, etc. Then they would actually conduct rehearsals. When they were satisfied, they would signal me to turn on the tape recorder and would proceed with gusto to act out little playlets on the desired topic. Besides this, many items were also collected from individuals, including stories, songs, lectures, and sermons. As a result of this process, which went on for many months.
There is a biological equilibrium between male and female births. Consequently, every male should have a very good chance of obtaining a wife. In such circumstances, is it possible to speak of women as a scarce commodity requiring collective intervention for its distribution? Monogamy is not a positive institution nor a general rule, but merely incorporates the limit of polygamy in societies where, economic and sexual competition reaches an acute form. The Nambikwara, semi-nomads of western Brazil, who live by collecting and gathering, sanction polygamy for their headmen. The securing of two, three or four wives by one or two important persons in a band of less than twenty people compels their companions to be celibate. This privilege by itself is sufficient to upset the natural equilibrium of the sexes. In primitive societies, marriage is of an entirely different importance, not erotic, but economic. My experience in the field in a Brazilian native village, a young man crouching in the corner of a hut, ill-cared thin for, in complete state of dejection. I observed him for several days. He rarely went out, except to go hunting. When the family meals began, he would go hungry unless a female relative set a little food at his side. The reason for this treatment was ‘He is a bachelor.’ Denied food after bad hunting or fishing expeditions when the fruits of the women's collecting and gathering provide the only meal there is, the wretched bachelor.
Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Genetic disorders may be grouped into two categories – Mendelian disorders and Chromosomal disorders. Mendelian disorders are mainly determined by alteration or mutation in a single gene. These disorders are transmitted to the offspring on the same lines as in the principle of inheritance. The pattern of inheritance of such Mendelian disorders can be traced in a family by pedigree analysis. Most common and prevalent Mendelian disorders are Haemophilia, Cystic fibrosis, Sickle-cell anaemia, Colour blindness, Phenylketonuria, Thalassemia, etc. The Mendelian disorders may be dominant or recessive. By pedigree analysis, one can easily understand whether the trait in question is dominant or recessive. Similarly, the trait may also be linked to the sex chromosome or an autosome.
