Holi 2025: Splash Color on a Girl, End Up Married – This State&#39;s Unique Tradition!


<p><strong>Holi Festival 2025:</strong> India is a culturally diverse nation where festivals of various religions, regions, and communities are celebrated throughout the year. These festivals reflect Indian culture, traditions, and unity. Tomorrow, the festival of Holi will be celebrated across the country. It is celebrated differently in different states. But there is a custom associated with Holi that might surprise you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the Custom?</h2>



<p>On Holi, people throw colours on each other. Faces are also coloured. People also playfully tease each other during Holi. However, in the state of Jharkhand, India, the Santhal tribal community follows a unique and interesting tradition. According to this tradition, if a man applies colour to an unmarried girl, he must marry her. In this community, non-men are strictly prohibited from applying colour to unmarried girl or woman. This rule is so strict that even on a festival of colours like Holi, a man cannot throw colour on an unmarried girl or woman from a distance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marriage is Mandatory</h2>



<p>A unique tradition is observed in several areas from West Singhbhum in Jharkhand to Jalpaiguri in West Bengal. Under this tradition, if a young man applies colour to a maiden, the community panchayat arranges the marriage of the young man with that girl. However, if the girl refuses this marriage, the young man has to transfer all his property to the girl as compensation for applying colour.</p>

<p><strong>Heat Wave Alert:</strong> Even before Holi, Madhya Pradesh is experiencing a surge in temperatures. A more intense heatwave is expected after Holi. According to the Meteorological Department, most areas of Madhya Pradesh may experience extreme heat 2-3 days after Holi.</p>



<p>On Thursday, the maximum temperature recorded was 38 degrees Celsius. The night temperature increased by 3.8 degrees, reaching 21 degrees. According to meteorologists, the entry of hot winds is imminent due to a weather system near Rajasthan. These winds will increase the state&#8217;s temperature.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyclonic hot winds from Rajasthan to increase temperatures in MP</h2>



<p>According to the Meteorological Department, with each passing day in March, the intensity of the sun is increasing. This causes the mercury to remain high during the day. An upper air cyclonic circulation persists over the south-western parts of Rajasthan. This has led to a rise in temperatures there. These hot winds are reaching Madhya Pradesh, causing a rise in both day and night temperatures.</p>



<p>It is estimated that there will be no significant change in temperature in the next two days, but the daytime temperature may remain around 37-38 degrees and the night temperature around 19-20 degrees. It is reported that in the last 10 years, only three times has Holi been relatively cool. In approximately seven instances, Holi has experienced significant daytime heat.</p>

<p>Jaipur: Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma made several major announcements in the Assembly, attempting to appease various sections of society. With these announcements, the budget for the year 2025-26 was passed in the Assembly. </p>



<p>He announced 25,750 recruitments for youth and a one-time incentive of ₹10,000 for those securing their first job. &#8216;Lakhpati Didi&#8217;, &#8216;Drone Didi&#8217;, and women &#8216;sakhis&#8217; will be honoured, and 10 women in each block will be given laptops.

<p>During this time, he targeted senior opposition leaders including former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, former Urban Development Minister Shanti Dhariwal , and Pradesh Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra, while expressing concern over the uproar and breach of decorum in the House. He also mentioned the tears shed by the Assembly Speaker in the House.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Budget Announcements</h2>



<p>1. Recruitment of 10,000 school teachers, 4,000 Patwaris, 10,000 in the police, and 1,750 in the forest department.<br>2. Separate directorate for ministerial staff.<br>3. State-level council for the formation of administrative units.<br>4. VAT on CNG and domestic gas reduced to 7.5%.<br>5.

He added, &#8220;Better late than never.&#8221; During the Congress regime, Shanti Dhariwal had said that Rajasthan is a state of men.</p>



<p><strong>Ashok Gehlot:</strong> The public knows everything. Under whose rule did paper leaks happen? Who gave the wrong leases for bajri (gravel)? Who came with placards? Who ate lavishly? What derogatory words were used against whom?</p>



<p><strong>Govind Singh Dotasra:</strong> For the first time, the decorum of words was violated in the House. For the first time in the House, it was seen that the Speaker&#8217;s pain was expressed through their tears. The Chief Minister, without naming Govind Singh Dotasra, made a sarcastic remark, and while looking towards the Leader of the Opposition, said that the House has been running smoothly for some days. For this, should I thank those who have been invisible for many days, or should I thank those sitting in front of me?</p>



<p><strong>Tikaram Julie:</strong> The Leader of the Opposition is more concerned about Bharatpur than Alwar. Has my &#8216;Bansiwala&#8217; (flute player) not attracted them?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Projects from Dhariwal&#8217;s tenure under scrutiny</h2>



<p>The CM said that Shanti Dhariwal is our senior member, and a request for an investigation into the works carried out during his time in the previous Congress government has been accepted, and a decision has been taken to form a high-level committee.</p>

<p><strong>Benefits of Walking 10,000 Steps:</strong> In the 1960s, a Japanese company introduced a pedometer called ‘Manpo-kei’, meaning ‘10,000 steps meter’. This device presented walking 10,000 steps as a standard goal, which remains popular in fitness trackers and health apps today.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10,000 Steps Benefits: Step Count and Health Benefits</h2>



<p>Recent studies show that walking more has positive effects on health. According to physical therapist Kelly Sturm, increasing daily steps reduces mortality rates, decreases cardiovascular problems, and strengthens metabolism. These benefits are particularly evident when walking 7,500 to 10,000 steps per day (10000 Steps Per Day).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits of Walking 10,000 Steps: Stepping Towards Healthy Habits</h2>



<p>Walking more daily reduces inactivity and fosters healthy habits. Aiming for 10,000 steps discourages sedentary activities like watching TV or scrolling through mobile phones, reducing lethargy and keeping the body active. This activity helps fight many diseases.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Walking 10,000 Steps a Day is Extremely Beneficial for Health</h2>



<p><strong>Improved Cardiovascular Health:</strong> Regularly walking 10,000 steps reduces the risk of heart disease. It strengthens heart muscles and helps control blood pressure.</p>



<p><strong>Weight Management:</strong> Walking 10,000 steps burns approximately 300 to 400 calories daily, aiding weight loss and maintenance.</p>



<p><strong>Diabetes Control:</strong> This activity is particularly beneficial for type-2 diabetes patients as it helps regulate blood sugar levels.</p>



<p><strong>Mental Health Benefits:</strong> Regular walking reduces symptoms of mental stress, anxiety, and depression, improving mental health.</p>



<p><strong>Increased Metabolism:</strong> Walking 10,000 steps strengthens metabolism, increasing the body&#8217;s energy expenditure and accelerating calorie burning.</p>



<p><strong>Promotes an Active Lifestyle:</strong> This goal discourages sedentary habits, leading to a more active and healthy lifestyle.</p>



<p><strong>Better Sleep:</strong> Regular walking improves sleep quality, reducing insomnia.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exercise Time: Reduction in Heart Disease and Cancer Risk</h2>



<p>According to research published in the journal ‘Circulation’ in 2022, 150 to 300 minutes of moderate exercise per week can reduce the risk of death from heart disease by 22% to 31%. Meanwhile, another study published in ‘JAMA Oncology’ in 2023 found that even one to two minutes of brisk walking can reduce the risk of cancer.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Are 10,000 Steps Really Necessary?</h2>



<p>While walking 10,000 steps (10000 Steps Per Day) is a popular goal, it&#8217;s not necessarily suitable for everyone. The important thing is for individuals to remain active according to their physical capabilities and health condition. Increased activity is certainly beneficial for health and can increase life expectancy.</p>

<p><strong>Sunil Gavaskar Selects All-Time India ODI Playing XI</strong>: India has clinched the ICC Champions Trophy title for the third time after defeating New Zealand. Following this historic victory, former Indian cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar has selected his all-time Indian One Day International (ODI) team. Surprisingly, however, the formidable batsman Virender Sehwag and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly did not make the cut.</p>



<p>The 75-year-old former Indian cricketer has chosen Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma as openers. Virat Kohli is at number three, while Mohinder Amarnath, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, occupies the number four position. Yuvraj Singh, the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, is at number five, and MS Dhoni is the wicketkeeper-batsman at number six. Kapil Dev, captain of the 1983 ODI World Cup-winning Indian team, is at number seven.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jasprit Bumrah Misses Out</h2>



<p>Sunil Gavaskar has included two fast bowlers and two spinners in his team. Surprisingly, Jasprit Bumrah did not make the cut. Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh are the spinners, while Mohammed Shami and Zaheer Khan are the fast bowlers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dhoni Captaining, Not Kapil Dev</h2>



<p>Sunil Gavaskar has entrusted the captaincy not to all-rounder Kapil Dev or Rohit Sharma, but to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. MS Dhoni is one of India&#8217;s most successful captains, often surprising the opposition with his captaincy.</p>

<p><strong>London.</strong> Donating blood not only saves lives but could also benefit your health. According to new research, people who regularly donate blood may have a reduced risk of developing cancer. </p>



<p>Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute in London found that long-term blood donors experience genetic changes in their blood. </p>



<p>The scientists compared the blood of two groups of 60-year-old blood donors. The first group comprised individuals who had donated blood three times a year for the past 40 years. </p>



<p>The second group included those who had donated only five times in their lifetime. Genetic changes were observed in the blood of 50% of individuals in the first group, compared to only 30% in the second group. </p>



<p>Dr. Hector Hurga Encabo, a scientist involved in the research, explained that regular blood donation led to changes in stem cells that could reduce the risk of leukaemia (blood cancer). </p>



<p>Currently, the research has been conducted on men. Scientists are now preparing to conduct similar research on women.</p>



<p><strong>Mutations in the Blood</strong></p>



<p>Researchers say that mutations occur in the blood over time, potentially increasing the risk of cancer. Blood donation accelerates the process of new blood formation. Stem cells become more active, producing new and healthy blood. Blood donation reduces the number of old and damaged blood cells.</p>

<p>Alana King has been awarded the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for February 2025 for her outstanding performance during the Women’s Ashes. The Australian leg-spinner beat stiff competition from teammate Annabel Sutherland and Thailand’s Thipatcha Putthawong to win the prestigious award. Her victory extends Australia&#8217;s dominance in this award, following wins by Sutherland (December 2024) and Beth Mooney (January 2025), making it three consecutive months an Australian player has received the honour.</p>



<p>This is King’s first ICC monthly award, and she was quick to credit her teammates for their collective success. King said, “It’s been a fantastic summer for the girls, and we’re really thrilled with how we’ve retained the Ashes. I’m proud to have played a part in that success, and I’ll remember that series, especially the Test match, for a long time. There’s no bigger stage than an Ashes Test at the MCG, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nine wickets at Melbourne</h2>



<p>King played a pivotal role in Australia’s emphatic victory over England in the only Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. She took nine wickets for just 98 runs, playing a crucial role in Australia’s innings and 122-run win. In the first innings, King dismantled England’s batting line-up with figures of 4-45, bowling them out for 170. Australia established a commanding 270-run lead. In the second innings, she returned even more aggressively, taking 5-53 to dismiss England for a paltry 148.</p>



<p>Her match-winning spell ensured Australia secured an impressive series victory. Beyond her bowling, King also contributed two catches in the field and three runs with the bat. Her all-round performance was instrumental in Australia’s historic 16-0 win in the Women’s Ashes series.</p>
