In a groundbreaking observation, researchers witnessed a male Sumatran orangutan named Rakus displaying remarkable self-healing behavior. After sustaining a facial wound, Rakus ingeniously used the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of Akar Kuning leaves to treat himself. Chewing the leaves and applying the juice directly to the wound, he repeated the process until the wound healed, leaving only a small scar. This behavior, unprecedented in wild animals, suggests a level of intentional medicinal plant use previously unseen in non-human primates.

This trend is part of a broader increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Cancer is particularly concerning due to its prevalence among women (breast, cervix, ovarian) and men (lung, mouth, prostate) at relatively young ages. Despite this, cancer screening rates are low, highlighting a need for increased awareness and screening programs to address this growing health challenge

The right to remain silent, rooted in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, protects individuals from self-incrimination during interactions with law enforcement. In India, this right is implicit under Article 20(3) of the Constitution, which prohibits compelling an accused person to be a witness against themselves. While India does not have a formal Miranda Warning, individuals can refuse to answer questions that may incriminate them, seek legal counsel, and refrain from volunteering information. These protections ensure fair treatment and uphold the principle of innocence until proven guilty.
The Supreme Court has declared India's electoral bonds scheme unconstitutional, citing violations of the right to information and freedom of speech. Introduced in 2018 by the Modi government, the scheme allowed individuals and companies to anonymously donate money to political parties without limits. Despite claims that it would curb black money in politics, the scheme faced criticisms. The court has directed parties to return all bonds, the Election Commission to disclose donations, and the State Bank of India to stop issuing bonds.
