. NEW DELHI: Traditional healing practices of an indigenous tribe in Assam may hold clues for future medicines. A new study has identified 39 plants used by the Sonowal Kachari community to treat ailments ranging from fever and cough to kidney stones and skin diseases.The remedies are used for conditions such as fever, dysentery, cough, skin diseases, stomach disorders and arthritis, according to the research conducted in Lakhimpur district of Assam.The study, conducted by Pramod Chandra Dihingia of Nagaland University and Deepika Borah of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Dibrugarh, has been published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine.Researchers documented the community’s herbal knowledge through face-to-face interviews with 180 tribal elders aged 50 years and above between April 2022 and November 2023.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Trump says Iran ‘afraid’ to admit it wants a deal, claims ‘they’ll be killed by their own people or us’Iran Limits Hormuz Passage: selective access for friendly nations; UN warns on global energy flowsToll system in Strait of Hormuz? Iran drafts bill to charge ships for safe passage amid warThe study identified several plants commonly used by the community for treatment, including Acorus calamus for cough and fever, Aegle marmelos (bael) for dysentery, Aloe vera for burns and skin diseases, Azadirachta indica (neem) for infections and Bryophyllum pinnatum for kidney stones.Other plants recorded include Bacopa monnieri (brahmi), Andrographis paniculata (kalmegh), Cassia tora and Cinnamomum tamala, which are traditionally used for digestive disorders, liver ailments and skin problems.Leaves were the most commonly used plant part, accounting for more than half of the remedies, followed by roots, fruits and flowers. Most of the medicinal plants were herbs, while others included trees, climbers and shrubs.Experts say such traditional knowledge could help scientists identify new treatments if studied systematically. Professor Pradeep Kumar Prajapati, director of the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), Ministry of Ayush, said India’s tribal communities have rich knowledge about using plants and natural resources to treat diseases, developed over generations through their close interaction with forests and biodiversity.“Documenting and studying these practices is important because they can help scientists discover new medicines. In fact, many modern drugs were first identified from plants used in traditional healing,” he said. However, Prajapati added that such remedies must undergo scientific evaluation before wider use. “Traditional knowledge needs to be studied with modern scientific methods to establish safety and effectiveness. This can lead to new treatments and also strengthen confidence in traditional medicine.”Researchers also noted that herbal medicine continues to meet the healthcare needs of nearly 80% of the world’s population, particularly in rural areas.However, the authors warn that traditional medicinal knowledge is gradually disappearing due to social change, deforestation and declining interest among younger generations. The study highlights the need to document and preserve indigenous medicinal practices, which have been passed down orally for generations.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

. NEW DELHI: In one of the most dramatic reversals in legal history, 2006 Nithari serial killings accused Surinder Koli, who was sentenced to death by various courts in 13 murder cases and nearly executed twice, is set to walk out of prison a free man after 19 long years. After being convicted and awarded death sentence by the trial court, Allahabad HC and the Supreme Court – which had dismissed his appeal as well as review plea – the apex court on Tuesday cured the mistake in a curative petition filed by Koli in the last case pending against him. A curative petition is the final judicial resort for an accused to seek justice. A bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai, Justices Surya Kant and Vikram Nath granted relief to Koli in the Rimpa Haldar murder case on the ground that the court had held the same evidence inadmissible in 12 other murder cases in which he had been acquitted. SC had in 2011 upheld Koli’s conviction and death sentence in the Haldar case and dismissed the review petition in 2014.\Police lapses made crucial proof invalid In July, SC had upheld Allahabad HC’s Oct 2023 judgment acquitting Koli in 12 Nithari murder cases of Noida on the ground that police lapses had rendered crucial evidence inadmissible. Armed with July’s order, Koli in Sept invoked curative jurisdiction of SC and contended that the nature of evidence in all 13 cases were similar and two set of outcomes – acquittal and conviction – resting on the same evidentiary foundation cannot lawfully coexist. Allowing his plea, the court said, “When final orders of this court speak with discordant voices on an identical record, the integrity of adjudication is imperiled, and public confidence is shaken. In such a situation, intervention ex debito justitiae (as a matter of justice) is not an act of discretion but a constitutional duty. We therefore entertain this petition to preserve the purity of this Court’s process and to vindicate the rule of law.” The bench noted that the apex court had already held that Koli’s confession which led to the conviction was legally tainted and not admissible and that would be applicable in the Haldar case too. “To allow a conviction to stand on evidentiary basis that this court has since rejected as involuntary or inadmissible in the very same fact matrix offends Article 21 of the Constitution. It also violates Article 14 of the Constitution, since like cases must be treated alike. Arbitrary disparity in outcomes on an identical record is inimical to equality before the law,” the bench said. It said the offences in Nithari were heinous, and the suffering of the families was beyond measure but it was a matter of deep regret that despite prolonged investigation, the identity of the actual perpetrator had not been established in a manner that met legal standards. “Criminal law does not permit conviction on conjecture or on a hunch. Suspicion, however grave, cannot replace proof beyond reasonable doubt. Courts cannot prefer expediency over legality. The presumption of innocence endures until guilt is proved through admissible and reliable evidence, and when the proof fails the only lawful outcome is to set aside the conviction even in a case involving horrific crimes,” it said. It said numerous loopholes were common to all Nithari cases. “These gaps were central to the acquittals in the 12 cases. They are equally present here,” the court said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosMaha Gajraj Exercise: IAF Conducts Highway Landing Operations Near Barmer-Jalore Border12 Killed In Car Bomb Blast In Islamabad; PM Sharif Blames ‘India-Sponsored Terrorist Proxies”Hunt Down Every…’: Amit Shah Says Delhi Car Blast Culprits To Face ‘Full Wrath Of Agencies’Bihar Exit Polls 2025: Poll of Polls Show NDA Poised For Majority, MGB Trails, No Impact of JSP’Op Sindoor Taught Us…’: Army Chief Dwivedi On Role Of Modern Tech In Warfare At Cavalry Seminar‘We Love India’: Bhutan King Reaffirms Ties As PM Modi Unveils Connectivity, Energy BoostBangladesh Elections: Awami League, BNP Allege Lawlessness Under Yunus, Fear Violence In PollsIndia Tells UNSC To Enforce Zero-Tolerance On Terror Strictly Hours After Delhi Blast Kills Twelve’No Silver Medals In War’: CDS Chauhan Highlights India’s Technological Leap Amid Rising ThreatsLucknow Doctor Tasked By JeM To Form Women’s Terror Wing In India, Police Link To Delhi Blast Probe123PhotostoriesDiabetes reports normal? 5 hidden, unusual signs blood sugar is not in control and what to do about itDirectors’ daughters shine as they carry forward a legacy of talent3 popular breakfasts you should stop giving your kids and whyExclusive – Bigg Boss 19: From addressing his romantic link-up with Ashnoor Kaur, Pranit More evicting him to ex-wife’s cheating allegations on him: Abhishek Bajaj breaks silenceMantra You Should Chant According To Your Birth DateFunny parenting quotes every tired mom and dad will relate toFathers who feel deeply: Rare and underrated quotes about modern dadsThe gut repairs overnight: 6 bedtime drinks that helpHow to choose a perfectly ripe avocado every time from the clues present on its skin8 Bollywood actresses who swear by ghee every morning and why123Hot PicksBihar Election CandidatesBihar Election ConstituenciesBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingWho is Brittany MillerSan Jose SharksStephen Curry WifeMichael Ray Richardson Net WorthMichael Willis Cause of DeathNHL Injury UpdateStephen CurryCandace OwensMichael Duarte Cause of DeathNico Harrison

Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in-charge communications NEW DELHI: Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Monday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after US President Donald Trump announced an “immediate” India-US trade deal from Washington, adding New Delhi would move to cut tariffs and non-tariff barriers on American goods while the US reduces reciprocal tariffs on India.In a post on X, Ramesh alleged that key announcements impacting India, including the halt of Operation Sindoor, updates on India’s crude purchases from Russia and Venezuela, and now the trade deal itself, were being made from the US capital. “He announced the halt of Op Sindoor from Washington DC. He announced the updates on India’s oil purchases from Russia and Venezuela from Washington. He’s now announced an India-US Trade Deal from Washington, the full details of which are awaited,” he wrote.”President Trump clearly seems to have some leverage over Prime Minister Modi,” he wrote, adding that the Prime Minister appeared “mortified of even being seen with him”, in an apparent reference to PM Modi’s earlier public bonhomie with Trump.Ramesh suggested that Modi had “capitulated” and questioned whether the agreement could be “the father of all deals”, using the Bollywood catchphrase “Mogambo Khush Hai” to underline the attack.”President Trump clearly seems to have some leverage over Prime Minister Modi – who is now mortified of even being seen with him, let alone engage in the usual bout of hugs. It appears Mr. Modi has capitulated finally. Surely this cannot be the father of all deals. In Washington clearly Mogambo Khush Hai,” he said.The Congress leader’s remarks came minutes after Trump, in his Truth Social post, said India had agreed to stop buying Russian oil and would buy “much more” from the US and potentially Venezuela, arguing the shift would help end the Russia-Ukraine war. He also said the US would lower reciprocal tariffs from 25% to 18% and that India would move to reduce its tariffs and non-tariff barriers against the US to “zero”.Later, PM Modi thanked Trump for the tariff announcement. In a post on X, the Prime Minister said he was “delighted” that Made in India products would get a reduced tariff of 18%, and thanked the US President “on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India” for the “wonderful announcement”.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
