👆Remembering #ChauriChaura Incidence :4th Feb, 1922 ✅️

🅾️MAINS Question :👇👇
"Chauri Chaura’ is a tale of how the celebrated condemnation of a riot by Gandhi paradoxically entitles it to national importance,” . Explain

Connecting dots:

🎯 It was the time of the non-cooperation movement in India, started by Mahatma Gandhi with the aim of attaining ‘Purna Swaraj’
(full independence)

🎯On February 4, 1922, a large group of nationalist volunteers had gathered on the streets of a small, hamlet in the Gorakhpur district of the United Provinces.

🎯Soon they walked into the police. Sticks and stones were thrown from one end in return for bullets from the other. As the crowd grew larger and fiercer, the cops retreated inside the police station.

🎯 The protestors doused the building in kerosene and set it on fire. Twenty-three policemen perished. A total of 228 people were brought to trial in the incident, out of which 19 were sentenced to death

One of the historian explained it as "the unforgettable event was largely forgotten in nationalist lore; it came to be remembered only as the episode which forced Gandhi to call off his all-India movement of non-cooperation with the British.”

🅾️But the ‘true’ significance of Chauri Chaura in Indian history lay outside the time and place of its occurrence

🎯It gave the strong message that nationalist sentiment of people need a disciplinary reform too

👉 mobocracy can't lead to the establishment of democracy

👉It showed the Gandhi’s principled commitment to non-violence.

👉Highlighted the moral power of peaceful protests against the coercive machinery of the colonial empire

👉And at the end, it shaped the national freedom struggle into reformed, moral, disciplined, non-violent movement

🔰 Millets as wonder foods!

🌾Important: How millets are useful in Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes (NIDDM)?
Moreover, how fibres of millets binds cholesterol and protect heart diseases?

🟥Millets have phytochemicals such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins such as phelos, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids

🟢👉Millets have unique elements under the name anti-nutrients, which are essential for preserving good health and have significant impact on chronic illness✅️

👆Look at the table above

🟪 Important term in this page is 'Oxidative Stress'. 👇The imbalance between the production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues often leads to oxidative stress

🟦This ROS, have a role in the development of NIDDM, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and DNA damage

🧬Read the relation of antioxidants, free radicals,oxidative stress and ROS above 👆-----Important one✅️

🌾Milles have leucine, niacin which help in containing LDL and ultimately Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Disorders

🟥 Novel 53kD protein called Fibroin-modulator-binding protein (FMBP) extracted from foxtail millet🌾 suppress the growth of colob cancer cells by inducing G1 phase arrest

🌾Millet based diets also aid in suppressing the STAT-3 signaling pathway which helps in regulating cancer

🟩Oxidative Stress and Addison's Disease (AD) relation 👆

🧬Info👉 tau tangles and amyloid plaques are the hallmark pathology features of AD

🟪High quantities of polyphenols in millet demonstrated remarkable oxidative resistance ✅️

🟨Millets are small-seeded cerelas, can be grown to on-farm resources and minimise off-farm resources such as chemical fetilisers, pesticides, insecticides, etc.,

🌾Major millet crops👇

👉Jowar or Sorgham
👉Bajra or Pearl Millet
👉Mandua/Ragi or Finger Millet

🌾Smal Millets like:👇

👉Kangani/Tangoon or Foxtail Millet
👉Sama/Kutti or Little Millet
👉Kodo millet
👉Jhangora/Sanwa or Barnyard Millet
👉Cheena or Porso Millet

🟥Millets crop and their local names

🌾Millets are C4 Carbon sequestering crops contributing to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere besides being water efficient.

🟨Millets contain several bio-active phytochemicals including feraxans, lignans, beta-glucans, insulin, resistant starch, sterols, and phenolic conpounds (e.g., ferulic acid, caffeic acid and quercetin)

🦠 Fermentation of millets using various cultures promotes the growth of gram-negative bacteria that makes millets an effective probiotic food in the gut

🟨 The two most important techniques are germination and pro-biotic fermentation.

🔵Germination is a method to improve the nutritional value of millets and aoften the structure of the kernel and decrease anti-nutritional factors like tannin and phytic acid....Germination leads to the activation of enzyme phytase which further reduces phytate to phytic acid.

👉This process increases the bio-availability of various minerals in the body and results in the improved nutritional value of millets.

🔵Fermentation too improves the bio-availability of nutrients by decreasing the phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor activity and tannic acid content.

🟩 Techniques like parboiling, irradiation and germination can enhance the shelf life of millets

🔵Inactivation of lipases is Important in enhancing shelf-life
