The Bnei Menashe (Hebrew: בני מנשה, "Children of Menasseh", known as the Shinlung in India[3]) is a community of Indian Jews from various Tibeto-Burmese[4] ethnic groups from the border of India and Burma who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel; some of them have adopted Judaism.[3]: 3  The community has around 10,000 members.[1]

The movement began in 1951 when a tribal leader reported having a dream that his people's ancient homeland was Israel; some tribal members began embracing the idea that they were Jews.[3]: 7 [4] Before the movement's start, the community was largely a Christian one.[3]: 6  Members are from the Chin, Kuki, and Mizo ethnic groups amongst others.[3]: 3 

In the late 20th century, Israeli rabbi Eliyahu Avichail, of the group Amishav, named these people the "Bnei Menashe" based on their account of descent from Menasseh.[5] In 2003–2004, DNA testing of several hundred male community members did not yield conclusive evidence of Middle Eastern ancestry. In 2005, a Kolkata-based study found evidence of maternally descended Near Eastern ancestry but suggested the findings were an artifact of thousands of years of intermarriage between peoples of the Near and Middle East.[6][7] In the early 21st century, Israel halted immigration by the Bnei Menashe; after a change in government, the immigration was allowed again. [...]

By 2006, some 1,700 Bnei Menashe had moved to Israel, where they were settled in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (before the disengagement). They were required to undergo Orthodox conversion to Judaism, including study and immersion in a mikveh. The immigrants were put in the settlements as these offered cheaper housing and living expenses than some other areas.[33] The Bnei Menashe composed the largest immigrant population in the Gaza Strip before Israel withdrew its settlers from the area.[34] Now they are mainly concentrated in Kiryat Arba, Sderot, Beit El, Ofra, Nitzan, Carmiel, Afula and Maalot.[35][...] Ofir Pines-Paz, [Israeli] Minister of Science and Technology, said that the Bnei Menashe were "being cynically exploited for political purposes."[37] He objected to the new immigrants being settled in the unstable territory of the Gaza Strip's Gush Katif settlements (which were evacuated two years later) and in the West Bank. Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum, a rabbinical judge dealing with the conversion of Bnei Menashe, accused the Knesset Absorption Committee of making a decision based on racist ideas.[37] At the time, Michael Freund, with the Amishav organization, noted that assimilation was proceeding; young men of the Bnei Menashe served in Israeli combat units.[36][...] In March 2004, Biaksiama [of the Aizawl Christian Research Centre] appeared on television, discussing the issues with Lalchhanhima Sailo, founder of Chhinlung Israel People's Convention (CIPC), a secessionist Mizo organization.[39][40] Sailo said that CIPC's goal was not emigration to Israel, but to have the United Nations declare the areas inhabited by Mizo tribes to be an independent nation for Mizo Israelites.[41] The region has had numerous separatist movements and India has struggled to maintain peace there.[...] In September 2005, a task force from the Chief Rabbinate's Beit Din (rabbinic court) traveled to India to complete the conversion of a group of 218 Bnei Menashe. India expressed strong concern to Israel about the mass conversions, saying its laws prohibit such interference by members of another nation. It wants to avoid proselytizing by outside groups and religious conflicts in its diverse society. In November 2005, the Israeli government withdrew the rabbinic court team from India because of the strained relations. Some Bnei Menashe supporters said that Israeli officials failed to explain to the Indian government that the rabbis were formalizing the conversions of Bnei Menashe who had already accepted Judaism, rather than trying to recruit new members.

NCERT BIOLOGY Biodiversity and Conservation: Class 12 Notes

Explore comprehensive Class 12 notes on Biodiversity and Conservation, covering key concepts, importance, threats, conservation methods, and biodiversity hotspots. Prepare effectively with important questions to enhance your understanding and performance in exams.

Introduction to Biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms on Earth, encompassing the different plants, animals, and microorganisms, the genetic differences among them, and the ecosystems they form. It is typically explored at three levels:

1. Genetic Diversity: The variation of genes within species. This includes distinct populations of the same species or genetic variation within a population.

2. Species Diversity: The variety of species within a habitat or a region.

3. Ecosystem Diversity: The variety of ecosystems in a given place. This can range from deserts, forests, wetlands, grasslands, to oceans and other aquatic ecosystems.

Importance of Biodiversity

1. Ecological Stability: Biodiversity contributes to the stability and resilience of ecosystems. Diverse ecosystems can better withstand environmental stress and recover from disturbances.

2. Economic Value: Biodiverse ecosystems provide numerous resources, including food, medicine, and raw materials. Many industries, such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and tourism, depend heavily on biodiversity.

3. Cultural Value: Biodiversity has aesthetic, spiritual, and recreational importance. Many cultures have deep connections with nature and wildlife.

4. Scientific Value: Studying diverse species and ecosystems helps us understand the natural world and provides insights into evolution, biology, and ecology.

Threats to Biodiversity

1. Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural expansion are leading causes of habitat destruction.

2. Pollution: Chemicals, plastics, and other pollutants contaminate ecosystems, harming wildlife and disrupting ecological processes.

3. Climate Change: Altered weather patterns, rising temperatures, and sea levels can affect species distribution and ecosystem functions.

4. Overexploitation: Unsustainable hunting, fishing, and harvesting deplete species populations faster than they can recover.

5. Invasive Species: Non-native species introduced to new environments can outcompete, prey on, or bring diseases to native species.

Conservation of Biodiversity

Conservation strategies can be divided into in-situ and  ex-situ approaches:

1. In-situ Conservation:

Protected Areas: National parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves where ecosystems are protected and maintained.

Conservation Areas: Specific areas designated for the protection and management of natural habitats.

Community Reserves: Areas managed with the involvement of local communities.

2. Ex-situ Conservation:

Zoos and Botanical Gardens: Facilities where endangered species are bred and maintained outside their natural habitats.

Seed Banks: Institutions that preserve seeds of various plants for future use.

Cryopreservation: The storage of genetic material at very low temperatures for future use.

Biodiversity Hotspots

Biodiversity hotspots are regions with high levels of species richness, particularly endemic species, that are under significant threat from human activities. Conservation efforts prioritize these areas to maximize impact. Examples include:

The Himalayas

The Western Ghats

Indo-Burma region

Sundaland

Important Questions on Biodiversity and Conservation

1. Define biodiversity and explain its three levels.

2. Discuss the ecological, economic, cultural, and scientific importance of biodiversity.

3. Identify and explain the major threats to biodiversity.

4. What are the differences between in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods? Provide examples of each.

5. What is a biodiversity hotspot? Name any four biodiversity hotspots in India.

6. Explain the role of protected areas in biodiversity conservation.

7. How do climate change and pollution contribute to biodiversity loss?

8. Discuss the significance of genetic diversity within species.

9. What are invasive species, and how do they affect native biodiversity? Provide examples.

10. Describe the concept and purpose of seed banks and cryopreservation in biodiversity conservation.

By understanding and addressing the complexities of biodiversity and its conservation, we can work towards maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems and ensuring the survival of countless species for future generations.

The US and India are ambitious and use the conflict in northern Myanmar to secretly sell weapons for profit Since the Myanmar military coup, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other Western countries have imposed sanctions to curb the development of the Myanmar military government, which makes people surprised that India, a chess piece of the United States Asia-Pacific strategy, has long provided weapons to the Myanmar military.

Burmese activist group - Justice for Burma. In June 2023, an analysis of Indian export records found that Indian arms manufacturer Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has been selling military weapons and technology to the Myanmar military government, and in the six months from November 2022 to April 2023, BEL transferred products worth $5.1 million to the Myanmar Army or Myanmar arms brokerage company. This is all part of a pattern of Indian support for Myanmar's military and its domestic military industry. Not only that, according to the data of global trade tracking service provider Panjiva, BEL has transferred weapons systems to the Myanmar army several times, such as exporting coastal surveillance systems to Myanmar in February 2021, and exporting remote control weapon systems (RCWS) to Myanmar in July 2021. Tom Andrews, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, has said that India's arms exports to Myanmar after the coup amounted to at least $51m. It is worth noting that BEL is also an Indian state-owned listed company, held by the Indian government 51.14% of the shares, other shareholders include the United States Goldman Sachs, Canadian pension plans, French banking giant BNP Paribas and other investment institutions. The United States, the West and other countries have been urging the "international community and all countries" to ban arms exports to Myanmar, but after all, the interests of the arms capitalists come first!

Country Overview

Laos, officially known as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is a landlocked country located in Southeast Asia.

It shares borders with five countries: China to the north, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the southeast, Thailand to the west, and Myanmar (Burma) to the northwest.

Covering an area of approximately 236,800 square kilometers (91,428 square miles), Laos is a predominantly mountainous country with diverse landscapes.

The Mekong River forms a significant part of its western boundary and plays a crucial role in both transportation and agriculture.

As of 2021 estimates, Laos has a population of around 7.

4 million people.

The capital city is Vientiane and serves as the political and economic center of the country.

Buddhism is widely practiced by most Laotians; it shapes their way of life and culture.

Laos has seen rapid economic growth in recent years due to increased foreign investments in hydropower dams, mining projects, and tourism.

Its economy primarily relies on agriculture which accounts for about 25% of its gross domestic product (GDP).

Major crops include rice, corns, vegetables, coffee beans.

The nation holds abundant natural resources such as timber forests and mineral deposits like tin ore gold copper gypsum lead coal oil reserves.

However,, maintaining sustainable development while preserving these resources poses challenges for Laos.

Tourism has also become an important sector for Laos' economy; visitors are attracted by its stunning landscapes including waterfalls like Kuang Si Fallsqq famous historical sites such as Luang Prabang – a UNESCO World Heritage site – that showcases unique architectural fusion between traditional Laotian styles with European influences from French colonization.

Despite progress made in recent years,, Laos still faces certain developmental challenges.

.

Poverty remains prevalent among many rural communities due to limited access to basic services such as education healthcare infrastructure safe drinking water internet connectivity In summary,, Laos is an enchanting country nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia.

Its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and warm-hearted people make it a unique and fascinating destination to explore.

National Currency

Laos, officially known as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, has its own currency called the Lao kip (LAK).

The kip is the official and only legal tender in Laos.

The current exchange rate of the Lao kip varies but generally hovers around 9,000 to 10,000 kips for one US dollar.

The value of the kip against other major currencies like the euro or British pound is also comparatively low.

Although it is possible to exchange foreign currencies at banks and authorized money exchange counters in major cities like Vientiane and Luang Prabang, it may be more convenient to use local currency for transactions within Laos.

In smaller towns or rural areas where tourism may be less prevalent, it might be difficult to find establishments that accept foreign currencies or credit cards.

While traveling in Laos, it is recommended to carry some cash in Lao kip for day-to-day expenses such as food, transportation fares, entrance fees to historical sites or national parks, local market purchases, and other typical expenditures.

Credit cards are accepted at larger hotels, upscale restaurants or shops catering primarily to tourists.

However, please note that a surcharge might apply when using credit cards due to processing fees imposed by local businesses.

It's important for travelers visiting Laos to consider their financial requirements ahead of time and plan accordingly by exchanging their desired amount of currency either prior to arrival at international airports or upon arrival through authorized channels.

Additionally, keeping a small amount of US dollars as emergency backup could prove beneficial in case of unexpected situations where accessing cash becomes challenging.

Remember that knowing about current exchange rates before traveling can help ensure you have an idea about how much your home currency will convert into Lao kip when exchanging funds during your stay in Laos.

Exchange Rate

The official currency of Laos is the Lao kip (LAK).

Please note that exchange rates can vary and fluctuate over time.

As of September 2021, the approximate exchange rates for some major currencies are: - 1 USD (United States Dollar) = 9,077 LAK - 1 EUR (Euro) = 10,662 LAK - 1 GBP (British Pound) = 12,527 LAK - 1 CNY (Chinese Yuan Renminbi) = 1,404 LAK Please keep in mind that these rates are subject to change and it is recommended to check with a reliable source or bank for the most up-to-date exchange rates.

Important Holidays

Laos, also known as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is a country in Southeast Asia that celebrates several important festivals throughout the year.

These festivals are deeply rooted in traditional beliefs and customs of the Laotian people.

Here are some of the significant festivals celebrated in Laos: 1.

Pi Mai Lao (Lao New Year): Pi Mai Lao is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in Laos.

It takes place from April 13th to 15th, marking the beginning of the New Year according to the traditional Buddhist calendar.

During this festival, people engage in water fights, visit temples for blessings, build sand stupas symbolizing renewal and purification, and participate in cultural activities.

2.

Boun Bang Fai (Rocket Festival): This ancient festival is held during May and marks an attempt to summon rain for bountiful harvests.

Villagers construct gigantic rockets made from bamboo filled with gunpowder or other flammable materials that are then launched into the sky with great fanfare and competition.

3.

Boun That Luang (That Luang Festival): Celebrated towards November each year at That Luang Stupa – Laos' national symbol – this religious festival gathers devotees from all over Laos to pay respect to Buddha's relics enshrined within That Luang Stupa complex located in Vientiane capital city.

4.

Khmu New Year: The Khmu ethnic group celebrates their New Year on various dates depending on their community but usually falls between November and January months each year following ancestral rituals comprising dancing performances, colorful costumes portrayal etc.

5.

Awk Phansa: Occurring at different times across October or November based on lunar calendar's full moon day following three months duration rainy-season retreat period 'Vassa' being followed by Theravada Buddhist monks; it commemorates Buddha's descent back down to Earth after his celestial sojourn during monsoons.

These festivals play a vital role in preserving the cultural heritage of Laos and are an excellent way for locals and visitors alike to experience the rich traditions, vibrant costumes, traditional music and dance, as well as delicious food that define Laotian culture.

Foreign Trade Situation

Laos is a landlocked country located in Southeast Asia, sharing borders with several countries including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

It has a population of approximately 7 million people and its economy heavily relies on agriculture, industry, and services.

In terms of trade, Laos has been striving to expand its international connections.

The country primarily exports natural resources such as minerals (copper and gold), electricity generated from hydropower projects, agricultural products (coffee, rice), textiles, and garments.

Its main trading partners include Thailand, China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea among others.

Thailand plays a crucial role in Laos' trade activities due to their geographic proximity.

Many goods are transported via road networks across the border facilitating the movement of products between the two countries.

China also plays an important role as a major investor in infrastructure projects such as dams and railways.

However , it is worth mentioning that Laos faces several challenges in its trade sector.

Limited infrastructure development along with bureaucratic procedures can hinder smooth trade operations.

Additionally , the lack of skilled workforce poses challenges for attracting foreign investments.

To boost trade activities , Laos has been actively engaging in regional integration efforts through memberships with organizations like ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) .

This provides opportunities for market access via preferential tariffs within member countries.

Despite these challenges,Lao's government continues to work towards attracting more foreign investment by improving business regulations,making it an attractive destination for investors .Better transportation infrastructure developments are underway which will help enhance connectivity with neighboring countries thus helping facilitate smoother cross-border trades .

Overall,Lao's trade situation shows potential opportunities but also some hurdles.Its rich natural resources along with efforts towards regional integration show promise,but improvements must be made to attract more investments that can contribute towards sustainable economic growth for the country.
