Social Behaviour & Health In Indian Communities.

    The human health much more depends upon the behaviour of the person. Behaviour of a person makes his better than other people. We often see particular disease is prevalent in entrain area or community. For a particular social or personal behaviour, we suffer from many diseases.

    Tribal people mostly use the local liquor from the childhood as a part of their tradition but unfortunately few of them get addicted to them. That probably most common cause of liver function disorder, hypertension, kidney function disorders among them. Many people among them use it as a part of their social custom and on rare basis. Such occasional is not harmful but those who make it a habit becomes more prone to the health disorders.

    In my experiences I have seen indulgence of alcohol in some community while I was practicing at Paltan Bazar in Guwahati and most of them are cleaning staffs. Incidentally I have not seen a man from those community aged above 55-60 in my two years of practice. On my observation I have observed that male to female all are living in a very poor hygienic condition, but earning a lot as most of them are railways cleaning staff or working at other central offices as cleaners or few in private hospitals or malls. But none of them were educated and strictly maintained very poor sanitation and hygienic profile. Most of the women are headed the family and mostly they were widow. Along with poor sanitation and poor hygiene they were addicted to drugs, tobacco, alcohol. Probably that is why most of the men fell sick in very earlier stage of their age. Disease like diabetes, liver chriosis, tuberculosis, stroke, malnutrition is common. I had observed very poor family planning and family relation among them. Thus a community loosing their vital peoples very early just due to some unhealthy practices and addictions.

Many of the community like Muslims, especially female uses bourka or hijab regularly in outdoor and that leads to the Vitamin D3 deficiency. Skin diseases among them. This an example of the behaviour of a community that causing diseases.

While I was working at Tripura, I have seen more over smart community where they have believed on their customs and partially educated people use to make self-medication and sometimes by neglecting the medical advices, they are creating problems for them. Many lives leave this earth because of their wrong practices and misunderstandings.

Let’s compare some good points the Musulmai or Sunnat is a procedure among Muslim and in may Christians makes the men less venerable to the cancer of the head of the penis. But it is common in Hindus as they don’t have such practices. The reason behind such custom what may be but it’s a healthier practice.

Thus, our social behaviour plays a big role in our health and in healthier society.
