Early Indian Enterprise and Indian settlement in East Africa
Aparajita Biswas 전남대학교 글로벌디아스포라연구소 2012 전남대학교 세계한상문화연구단 국제학술회의 Vol.2012 No.11
People of ancient India were known to be enterprising, looking for trade routes across the ocean in the quest to find lucrative markets for their merchandise. They set sail across the Arabian Sea to the west and Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean in the east, to new countries. In the process, they played an influential role in the history of the countries with whom they came in touch. Records show that India’s trade across the seas began much before the Christian era, with ships setting sail with Indian merchandise to the lands in the west and north of the Arabian Sea. These lands included Persia, Egypt and the East African coastal region. Even ancient Indian religious texts and writings in Sanskrit and Pali mention such trade contacts. These are also corroborated by accounts of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia and Babylon. W. H. Schoff, an eminent historian, wrote, “The sea trade was principally of Dravidian development, while both Dravidian and Buddhist writings are of Aryan origin and refer to things new to their race but old to the world”. In the light of the above, this paper focuses on early Indian trade connections with, and Indian settlements in East Africa.

Background: India is home to a large number of thalassemic children. Despite malnutrition being an essential determinant of their therapeutic goals and quality of life (QoL), it was hardly ever explored. With this background, this study aimed to estimate the proportion of β-thalassemia major (β-TM) children experiencing malnutrition, its attributes, and impact on their QoL. Methods: This cross-sectional, hospital-based, analytical observational study was conducted among 328 β-TM children attending the thalassemia day care unit of a medical college from May 2016 to April 2017, with a structured schedule. Data were analyzed following appropriate statistical methods using SPSS statistical package ver. 16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Among the study participants, 48.2% were malnourished with a mean body mass index of 13.9 kg/m2. In the multivariable logistic regression model, participants’ age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02–1.29), caste (AOR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.23–3.60), mothers’ educational level (AOR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.22– 3.44), blood transfusion frequency (AOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.16–1.31), and palpable spleen size (AOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.08–1.37) were significant predictors of malnutrition after adjusting for pre-transfusion hemoglobin level and hemolytic facies status. In multiple linear regression analysis, malnutrition negatively impacted total QoL (unstandardized beta [standard error], -4.4 [1.7]; P=0.009) and various domains of the study participants except the social and school domains adjusted for age, sex, caste, place of residence, parents’ educational level, and socioeconomic status. Conclusion: Almost half of the study participants had malnutrition. Malnutrition had a negative impact on their QoL.

Unsafe Disposal of Child Faeces: A Community-based Study in a Rural Block in West Bengal, India

Objectives: A clean India is the responsibility of all Indians. One of the objectives of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Initiative) is to bring about behavioural changes regarding healthy sanitation practices. While large-scale programs in India have increased latrine coverage, they have to some extent failed to bring behavioural changes ensuring optimal latrine use, including the safe disposal of child faeces, which is a significant source of exposure to faecal pathogens. Hence, this study was done to explore child faeces disposal practices in rural West Bengal and to elicit the determinants of unhygienic faeces disposal. Methods: Data collection was done using an interview method among the mothers of 502 under-5 children, following a pre-designed, semi-structured schedule during house-to-house visits in a set of villages in the Hooghly district of West Bengal. Results: The prevalence of unsafe disposal of child faeces was 72.4%, and maternal education, per capita income, and water source were found to be significantly associated with unsafe child faeces disposal. Conclusions: This study draws attention to the unsafe disposal of child faeces in this area of India and raises questions about the efficiency of sanitation campaigns in rural India that focus on expanding coverage rather than emphasizing behavioural changes, which are crucial to ensure the safe disposal of child faeces. Thus, it is urgently necessary to strengthen efforts focusing on behavioural changes regarding the safe disposal of child faeces in order to minimise adverse health outcomes.
