Hindu law as a chronicled term, alludes to the code of laws connected to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs in British India.

The Yajnavalkya Smriti is one of the numerous Dharma-related writings of Hinduism formed in Sanskrit. It is dated to between the third to fifth century CE and has a place with the Dharmasastras tradition. The content was created after the Manusmriti, yet like it and Naradasmriti, the content was made in shloka (beautiful meter) style. The lawful speculations inside the Yajnavalkya Smriti are introduced in three books, in particular, achara-kanda (traditions), vyavahara-kanda (legal process) and prayascitta-kanda (wrongdoing and discipline, penance).

The content is the “best made” and orderly example of this type, with substantial areas on legal process speculations, one which had a more prominent impact in medieval India’s legal practice than Manusmriti. It later wound up compelling in the investigations of the legitimate process in old and medieval India, amid the pilgrim British India, with the principal interpretation distributed in German in 1849. The content is remarkable for its disparities in lawful hypotheses from Manusmriti, for being more liberal and others conscious, and for broad exchanges on confirmation and sensibility of lawful documents.

There are two types of schools of Hindu law:

1.      MITAKSHARA school of Hindu law.

2.      DAYABHAGA school of Hindu law.

MITAKSHARA:

The Mitakshara is legitimate arrangements on legacy, composed by Vijnaneshwara a researcher in Western Chaiukya court in the twelfth century. It wound up one of most persuasive messages in Hindu law, and its standards with respect to property dissemination, property rights, and progression are still by and by crosswise over the vast majority of India aside from West Bengal and Assam where the Dayabhaga framework is rehearsed. A striking element is the guideline of division of genealogical property held by the Hindu joint family. The Mitakshara School exists all through India aside from in the State of West Bengal and Assam.

There are four Sub-Schools under  Mitakshara School:

i.          DRAVIDA SCHOOL (MADRAS SCHOOL).

ii.          MAHARASHTRA SCHOOL (BOMBAY SCHOOL).

iii.         BANARAS SCHOOL.

iv.        MITHILA SCHOOL.

DAYABHAGA

A Dayabhaga is a legitimate treatise managing different parts of Hindu law. It was composed by Jimutavahana and Hemadri and has much affected the Hindu common code of present-day India. ‘The arrangements identifying with property rights are followed in West Bengal and Assam. Not at all like the Mitakshara framework, the tribal property of the Hindu joint family can be apportioned among posterity for the most part after the dad’s demise, yet in uncommon conditions, the child has a privilege before the dad’s passing. Ideal to Stridhan is an outright right, the spouse having the privilege to offer, home loan or use without even the husband’s assent.

Right of unmarried children and little girls over the Stridhan is perceived. The proprietor has supreme right of arranging property freely. Proprietorship is resolved by Shastras. It exists in West Bengal and Asam as it were. It has sub-school. it contrasts from Mistakshara School in numerous regards. Dayabhaga School depends on the code of Yagnavalkya remarked by Jimutvahana, Inheritance depends on the guideline of profound advantage. it emerges by pinda offering i.e. rice bali offering to expired progenitors. Sapinda connection is by pinda contributions. This has driven numerous researchers to infer that the Mitākṣarā speaks to the universal teaching of Hindu law, while the Dāyabhāga speaks to the changed variant.

This is in guide complexity to the Mitākṣharā, which gives the children a claim upon birth. Every sibling has responsibility for unequivocal part of the joint family property thus can exchange his offer. The dowager has a privilege to prevail to spouse’s offer and uphold parcel if there are no male relatives. On the passing of the spouse, the dowager turns into a coparcener with different siblings of the husband. She can uphold a segment of her offer.

Both the Mitakshara & Dayabhaga laws became the basis for the Hindu Succession Act,1956.

Since no legal study is complete without a case study, here we have one for an understanding of the concepts discussed above.

CASE STUDY

Uttam vs Saubhag Singh & Ors 

CIVIL APPEAL NO. 2360_of 2016

FACTS: 

Plaintiff: UTTAM SINGH

Defendant: SAUBHAG SINGH

DISPUTE: Rights of ownership

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: The appeal was by the plaintiff party who documented a suit for segment, being Suit No.5A of 1999 under the watchful eye of the Second Civil Judge, Class II Devas, Madhya Pradesh, dated 28.12.1998, in which the initial four respondents happened to be his father (litigant No.3), and his dad’s three siblings i.e. respondent Nos. 1,2 and 4. He guaranteed a 1/eighth offer in the suit property on the balance that the suit property was genealogical property, and that, being a coparcener, he had a privilege by birth in the said property as per the Mitakshara Law. A joint composed explanation was documented by each of the four siblings, including the offended party’s dad, asserting that the suit property was not offended party’s father had turned out to be independent. The preliminary court, by its request dated 20.12.2000 announced the offended party’s suit holding that it was conceded by DW.1 Mangilal that the property was in reality tribal property, and that, on the confirmation, there was no prior segment of the said property, as argued by the respondents in their composed proclamations.

ISSUES: In the above-mentioned case the contentious issue is whether the son has the capacity to inherit his father’s property him being the heir to it. The son (UTTAM SINGH) claimed to have a right in the ancestral property in accordance with the MITAKSHARA LAWS.

CASE JUDGEMENT

The study for the article has been derived from the supreme court judgment by Honorable  R.F Nariman and Honorable Kurion Joseph. This Court examined the legal position and ultimately approved of the view of 4 High Courts, namely, Allahabad, Madras, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh while stating that the Gujarat High Court’s view contrary to these High Courts, would not be correct in law. After setting out the various views of the five High Courts mentioned, this Court held:

“It is necessary to bear in mind the preamble to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The preamble states that it was an Act to amend and codify the law relating to intestate succession among Hindus.

In perspective of the introduction to the Act i.e. that to adjust where vital and to systematize the law, as we would like to think it isn’t conceivable when Schedule demonstrates beneficiaries in Class I and just incorporates child and does exclude’s child but rather includes child of a predeceased child, to state that when child acquires the property in the circumstance considered by Section 8 he accepts it as karta of his own unified family. The Gujarat High Court’s view noted above, if acknowledged, would imply that however the child of a predeceased child and not the child of a child who is planned to he avoided under Section 8 to acquire, the last would by applying the old Hindu law get a privilege by birth of the said property in spite of the plan laid out in Section 8. Moreover as confirmed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court that the Act makes it obvious by Section 4 that one should look to the Act if there should arise an occurrence of uncertainty and not to the prior Hindu law.

It is hard to hold today the property which lapsed on a Hindu under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act would be HUF in his grasp opposite his own particular child; that would add up to making two classes among the beneficiaries specified in Class I, the male beneficiaries in whose hands it will be joint Hindu family property and versus child and female beneficiaries regarding whom no such idea could be connected or mulled over. It might be said that beneficiaries in Class I of Schedule under Section 8 of the Act included dowager, mother, little girl of predeceased child and so forth.

Applying the law to the actualities of this case, obviously on the demise of Saubgh Singh in 1973, the joint family property which was familial property in the hands of Saubgh Singh and alternate coparceners, declined by progression under Section 8 of the Act. This being the situation, the genealogical property stopped to be joint family property on the date of death of saubgh Singh, and alternate coparceners and his dowager held the property as inhabitants in like manner and not as joint occupants. This being the situation, on the date of the introduction of the appealing party in 1977 the said hereditary property, not being joint family property, the suit for parcel of such property would not be viable. The interest is subsequently rejected with no request as to costs.

However since the father was a class I heir, the son’s appeal was not valid as the father was still alive, which made the plaintiff a Class 2 heir, since he was the son’s son.

CASE ANALYSIS

As stated previously, the Mitakshara laws form the foundation of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. According to the guidelines laid down by the Hindu Succession Act, the property after the death of the owner gets transferred to the family members according to their class and relation with the deceased. The class 1 includes sons, daughters, widow, mother, son of a pre- deceased son, widows of a pre-deceased son, son of a, pre-deceased sons of a predeceased son, and widows of a pre-deceased son of a predeceased son.

The class 2 heirs are recognized in the following order –

1. Father
2. Son’s / daughter’s son
3. Son’s / daughter’s daughter
4. Brother
5. Sister
6. Daughter’s / son’s son
7. Brother’s son
8. Daughter’s / son’s daughter
9. Daughter’s / daughter’s son
10. Brother’s daughter
11. Daughter’s /daughter’s daughter
12. Sister’s son

In accordance with the above-mentioned information, we see that according to the Hindu Succession Act, the property will go to the class 1 heir. In the above-mentioned case, the father was still alive, who had obtained the property from his father. Hence, according to the law, the father, respondent Saubhag Singh was a class 1 heir. The son, however, confusing himself to be the class 1 heir demanded his right to the property. However, according to the law, a son’s son is a class 2 heir. When the rule was applied to this case, the son was declared to be a class 2 heir. Hence, he had no first claim to the property.

Inheritance Laws In other countries

In the U.S.A, the inheritance laws are different for different states. In most states and under most circumstances, the law puts forth an obligation to include the spouse in the will. States that follow a community property system have a provision according to which half the property of the deceased automatically belongs to the spouse.

For children, there exists no obligation as such and it is totally the discretion of the deceased whether to include the children in the will or not. According to the law, the intention to include a child in the will will be honoured when a new will is drawn up.

Since the topic of the study, i.e. Mitakshara and Dayabhaga law is primarily India, no cases exist in the Western or European law in relation with the topic.

Conclusion

In the above study, we found out about the basis of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the Mitakshara and the Dayabhaga laws. We found how the religious laws classify the heirs for the succession of property. We also saw under what conditions and in what circumstances the law provides the right of property to the heir of the owners of the property. We read about the underlying theory of the Mitakshara and the Dayabhaga laws and studied their sources. The alws were crafted in times of Brahmanical supremacy and the medieval period and hence, their constitutional adaptation is relatively more egalitarian as compared to the laws mentioned under original texts. The case we studied showed how the courts interpret the laws. The study makes it clear how the laws made for the inheritance of property function.

A professional public speaker

Regardless of whether this is an end (which means, you need to utilize it to help your career in another field), or on the other hand, as the ends itself, whereby you make public speaking a professional one, which aids you in generating your primary forms of income. Notwithstanding whether you need to do it exclusively as your primary source of income and career, or else you want to boost your career. The several queries I am going to cover today are going to enable you to do it.

Likewise, I have 5 of them. So moving along without any more goodbyes, we should make a plunge…

All right, the very first query will appear to be extremely self-evident, however, it is in reality quite noteworthy. Furthermore, that comes down to picking the principle area or general topic or forte that you need to have some expertise in…

How to pick your main topic?

Presently, there is somewhat of a line that you have to stroll between being specific that you scrap every other person. Thus expansive that you are not unreasonably fascinating or engaging, and you are nonexclusive. A case of this is simply being a nonexclusive initiative speaker. There is huge amounts of them out there and it is difficult to separate yourself from the group, except if you have a perfect backstory or represent considerable authority in one field over another. Once more, this is the place in case you are simply beginning and endeavouring to break into the speaker scene, it will help to be somewhat more focused and explicit. As opposed to going expansive. When I originally got associated with open speaking, I began talking explicitly via web-based networking media, and explicitly for private venture development.

After some time, that sort of widened somewhat more into digital marketing system. And afterward ALL advertising policy. Also, presently it covers all features of computerized advertising, and I am ready to tailor my substance and chats on my group of spectators and their dimension of complexity or information of the point. Okay. So you have chosen what area and subject you need to specialise in to begin.

Well, query number two is…

How will you look after comprehensive brand audit on yourself?

This implies investigating all your marketing skills, like your site, your online networking channels, any of the substance you are putting out there.

What’s more, asking yourself a truly unpolished inquiry: “OK will I employ myself?”

If appropriate response’s not an unmistakable and resonating “yes!”, at that point your image is going to require somewhat of a cosmetic touch up. Since here is one thing I know to be valid.  When somebody is hoping to put resources into an open speaker, particularly to give a keynote, or something that range in hundreds of dollars for your charges, they need to ensure you are the apt individual for the activity. Which means they are unquestionably looking at your online profile. Your image’s early introduction could have a significant effect, so ensure your picture is one you really need to depict.

Moving fittingly to third query:

How to make content around your core subject?

Presently, with regards to creating content you have a wide range of alternatives:

• you could give a grounding in a course
• you could compose a blog
• you could do digital recording interviews/podcast interviews
• you could make audio-visuals

Whatever it is, the point here is to make varied amount of content. The reason you need to varied amount of content (and quality content) is on the grounds that you need to demonstrate your authority and mastery on the subject that you will be speaking. The other motivation to deliver this content is somewhat undeniable. All things considered, when somebody is making an effort to acquire the correct speaker for the activity, it makes it simpler to enlist the person who has loads of content and is plainly a specialist. Rather than taking a chance with somebody who might not know to such an extent.

That is going to move us pleasantly into fourth query.

In the former tip, we discussed making a wide range of content, however for tip four, what I truly need you to concentrate on is…

How will Audio-visual content help?

The reason audio-visual content is so significant when you need to turn into an professional and a public speaker is on the grounds is short of actually going out there and doing a public speaking for the individual who is going to appoint you. Hence, audio-visual content is the following best thing. All things considered, it enables your character to go over, your voice, your tone, what you look like, and how you lock in. I realize that a camera is not exactly an audience, yet how you present yourself on camera can regularly persist to how you are going to talk in front of an audience. It is consequently that you need to lighten any worries somebody may have in employing you by demonstrating that you are certain, expressive, articulate. And that you have got the correct style for the speech they are trying to get athwart. Fundamentally, you got to make more recordings.

That will present to all of us the best approach to query number five, which is basically…

Get out there and speak however much as could be expected…you will?

In case you are simply beginning, and you are attempting to break into the speaker scene, and you need to turn into a professional public speaker, it is okay to pay your charges, and begin by completing a couple of free addresses, or if nothing else have some minor preliminary costs secured.

You don’t have to do this for long, however you do need to develop a good portfolio and get some substance out there, and some experience added to your repertoire. When you do climb into the paid positions, the amount you charge, how regularly you talk, and your style, will differ. This is all relying upon your objectives and once more, regardless of whether you need to utilize this as means of end or as the end itself. In any case, understanding that experience will do only beneficial things for your business, and your profession. And I am sure that you will agree, the level of personal development that comes along with public speaking is astral.

Gearing up…

All things considered, nothing will push your comfort level as quick as getting out there before the audience and conversing with them. These five hints truly is going to help you to be paid, and into the positions of the status of a professional public speaker.

How many of you actually have a good morning every day? Imagine you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is switch on your data. You suddenly see a rejection proposal from a company. How do you feel? Feel like breaking apart? Isn’t it? Everyone does. But remember, you will feel exactly the same thing throughout the day. If you are late one day, skip your breakfast and hurriedly catch the bus, then remember that you are late the whole day. A morning gone wrong makes the whole day go wrong. Your whole day is a reflection of your morning hours.

So you need to start your day with positivity, in order to carry positivity throughout the day. Here are 15 ways you can try to give yourself a positive kickstart every day.

1. Journal your thoughts

Take out 10 minutes from your day and write all your good or bad thoughts in your journal. Whether you had a bad dream or any sort of anxiety, just release it onto your journal and be free from its grip. Believe me, you will feel so light after that. Journaling makes your thought process clearer and helps you take decision effectively.

2. Feel happy

Feel happy about all the good things in your life. Every morning when you wake up from bed, visualize a situation that makes you truly happy. Your brain has the ability to change your thought process and lift your mood. Inducing some happy emotions in the morning keeps you joyful throughout the day.

3. Express gratitude

Not everybody gets a chance to see a beautiful morning. So be thankful for this wonderful morning you woke up to. Express your gratitude to God with a short prayer or by journaling. Watch your family members do their daily chores and feel happy about their presence. Believe me, you have the potential to do much more than you know.

4. Cherish something beautiful

Be it a flower, music or a painting, you can cherish whatever you like. Look at your favorite flower and contemplate its beauty. Or, you can also play your favorite music. These will surely uplift your mood and make you feel positive. Take a minute or two and appreciate the beauty around you.

5. Smile to yourself

It’s said that a genuine smile can abate pain and makes a person feel better. Why not try this on yourself? Every morning after you freshen up, go in front of your mirror and smile. Smile at the most beautiful person of your life. Smile for a minute to yourself, however difficult it might feel.

6. Stay away from smart phone

Keep your wake-up hour away from the blue light. The incessantly-popping notifications on your phone can excite your mind and interrupt your peace. Do this at least for once and you will see how positive you will feel, sans these mind-draining devices.

7. Avoid newspaper just after you wake up

Some of you must be having the habit of reading the newspaper as soon as you open your eyes. Try to delay it for an hour or two. Go for your newspaper reading after you complete your ‘feel positive’ ritual. A piece of bad news can be peace-intruding especially for people who are very sensitive.

8. Stay connected to yourself

You interact with a lot of people every day whether you are in school, colleges or at your workplace. But how often do you spend time to connect to yourself? Before you start your work, find some time every day to introspect. Analyze your daily activities and check if you have missed out something.

9. Meditate everyday

Spend five minutes of your day to relax. Take three deep breaths and sit comfortably in a quiet place. Close your eyes and observe your thoughts without getting involved. Or if you are more of a music person, you can try mantra meditation. Chant your favorite mantra 11-21 times and feel it resonating in your whole body. Mantras have healing powers which impart positivity to your energy system.

10.  Take a brisk walk

A bit of important advice that every doctor will suggest is the morning walk routine. A brisk morning walk elevates your ‘happy hormones’ and makes you feel positive throughout the day. Let the positivity flow through your cells and nerves. In addition to this, it also keeps your body fit and healthy. It also keeps lethargy and idleness at bay.

11.  Keep your smartphone’s wallpaper motivating

This is an interesting way to keep yourself motivated and affirmative throughout the day. Change your phone’s wallpaper today with an inspiring quote written on it. Whenever you look at the phone, voluntarily or involuntarily, you will look at this quote and feel encouraged. This is a wonderful way for those who have the tendency to check their phones every now and then.

12.  Wake up to an uplifting tune

Set a soothing melody as your alarm tone so that every morning you wake up smoothly without being jerked by a loud noise. As I mentioned earlier, sounds are vibrations which have a certain frequency. A pleasant sound usually shifts your vibrations into a higher level and tunes you to a more positive state of mind.

13.  Read a good book

You must have heard of a famous quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson – “A man is known by the books he reads.” The teachings of a good book will reflect in your words and deed and keep you motivated throughout the day. Apart from this, you can also read articles from blogs and websites you subscribe. So pick your favorite book today and go for it.

14.  Do some yoga or exercise

You can choose either of these or both. While some people are more of a yoga-person, some usually prefer daily workout. This is a great way to keep your endorphin flowing, inducing a happy feeling in you. Once you build your enthusiasm and make this a habit, it will keep your mind strong and won’t let it drain easily.

15.  Follow a self-care routine

It is well said that your mind is connected to your body, which is why a healthy mind keeps your body healthy, and vice-versa. Take some me-time in the morning to pamper your body. An instant shower sheds some of the negative vibrations linked to your body, thus making you feel fresh and rejuvenated. So take a shower, complete your skincare routine and pick up your favorite dress.

Music has been an integral part of human history and can be traced along the origins of man himself. Not only has music been a part of our culture, our lives, but it also impacts us deeply on a very emotional level. Studies have found that listening to music can not only induce moods but a change in the type of beat, rhythm, and lyrics can also cause a transition in the mood. A study published on the Journal of Consumer Research claims that people tend to hear deep, sad music when they experience something similar. The study suggested that music provides a substitute for grief. Similarly, happy and joyous music can shift the mood around as well. Strong and fast beats can pump up a person and motivate him/her and induce a feeling of competition (which in their musical fantasy leads to success) in their thoughts.

Artists like Linkin Park, Imagine Dragons, Shankar Mahadevan, Sukhwinder Singh with electrifying songs like ‘Numb’, ‘Radioactive’, and ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, & ‘Kar Har Maidaan Fateh’ respectively are quite often heard to induce a feeling of success and to pursue the same. Amidst these artists lies a rapper, going by the name of Marshall Mathers a.k.a. Eminem, undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers the world has ever seen. Coming from the hoods of Michigan, Detroit, Eminem came out to be rather tough as compared to the sweet, innocent, submissive child he was in his childhood.

Often known for hurling disses at his rivals and being quite good at them, Eminem has taken a jab at the careers of famous rappers like Ja Rule, Benzino, Machine Gun Kelly, and destroyed them all. He is one person who refuses to back down. A hardworking and devoted rapper, Eminem loves his daughter Hailie and often is seen citing her on his songs. Due to his emotional quotient being so high, teenagers especially, and fans belonging to other age groups listen and relate to his songs. Eminem has received notable awards and nominations due to his work. In 2002, he won the Academy Award for the Best Original Song for ‘Lose Yourself’ (mentioned below) , not only marking a big award in his list of awards, but also being the first rapper to do so. He has been a stunning 15-time Grammy Awards winner and has also received the Global Icon Award at MTV Europe Music Awards.

What makes his music so special ? Let’s find out.

1. Not Afraid

A song from his 7^th studio album, and probably the most famous and heavily applauded one, ‘Recovery’, the song is about Eminem facing what’s coming to him and not being afraid about it. Recovery as an album marks Eminem’s rise from the bottom again, as he dealt with and successfully overcame his drug addiction and conquered another bad phase of his life wherein he was heavily criticised for promoting drugs, objectifying women, using abusive language and being homophobic. Eminem, through Not Afraid delivers to the audience that he’s grateful to them for making him realise that he was on the wrong path. The lines ‘And I just can’t keep living this way; so starting today; I’m breaking out of this cage’ signify that he was tired of the lifestyle he was pursuing and that he was trapped in a cage from which he wanted to break out, and he did.

Like many of his songs, he also mentions Hailie on this song, but refers to her as ‘my daughter’ and claims that he will raise his legacy just like he raised his daughter, without letting a ‘single shingle’ on it.

The video is also symbolic of his rise, and fall, and consequential rise as an artist as in the video he’s seen on the top of a building, then experiencing a fall from a height, and then flying back up again to get on the top of the building.

The lyrics of the song are strong and the beat is good. Eminem mentions that he’ll make sure to take every person along with him who feels confused, demotivated, and also believes that he/she is trapped by the circumstances of his/her life.

Eminem won the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards Japan, Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards and Detroit Music Awards for the song.

2. Lose Yourself

Some call it Eminem’s best song ever. Other’s call it one of Eminem’s best. Whatever the case may be, Lose Yourself is indeed one of the finest songs that the 15-time Grammy Winning artist has recorded. From the motion picture ‘8-Mile’ which is an autobiography of Eminem to a great extent, Lose Yourself has an aggressive, yet positive ring to it, which motivates the listener to pursue with as much hard-work and dedication as can be, whatever the listener is pursuing. And the aim of the pursuit is what Eminem asks the listener to lose himself to. The song starts with a nervous Eminem, as described in the lyrics, with vomit on his sweater and no lyrics in his mind, and then takes an eventual turn to his newly induced thought that he cannot back down. The song is guaranteed to motivate the listener and induce an adrenaline rush in him/her.

The song won Eminem the Academy Award for the Best Original Song, the Grammy Award for the Best Rap Song, and the Best Rap Solo Performance of 2004. The video on YouTube has crossed 600 million views. Depicting a struggle that Eminem had to endure in real life, Lose Yourself is one of the best songs by Eminem indeed.

3. The Monster

From the 2013 Album, ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ the song ‘The Monster’ features Rihanna and Eminem as Eminem thinks about all the fame and the negative publicity he got because of his alter ego ‘Slim Shady’. It is theorised that the name of the song is derived from the personality of Slim Shady himself, because of his verbally aggressive and abusive content. Slim Shady as an alter ego is a lyrical genius, however, is quite aggressive. People like Eminem’s Shady version because of the hilarious insults that Eminem passes while in that form. The Monster marks an end to the Shadymania as in the video, Eminem walks off as Shady (portrayed by Eminem only) is locked up in a cell and about to be transferred somewhere. This video shows an official separation of Eminem from Shady. The video also features Eminem’s other videos as compiled clippings for the songs which Eminem performed as Slim Shady, such as ‘My Name is’ , ‘The Way I Am’ , ‘Mockingbird’ , and the 2001 performance of ‘Stan’ by Eminem along with Joh Elton.  

The lyrics of the song are quite emotional but combined with a deep thumping beat they are sure to introduce an energy in the listeners. Eminem in the song states that he’s friends with the ‘Monster’ and that he’ll continue to motivate children and other teenagers who rely on his songs for emotional balance.

4. Guts Over Fear

The serene voice of Sia combined with the powerful lyrical ballads of Eminem are the best gift an Eminem/Sia fan can get. The song generally talks about having the courage to overcome fear and Eminem in his verses throws around difficult instances from his life such as the negative attention he was getting in the news, growing up with one parent who too was a drug addict, yet thanking that parent for giving him the strength to cause shadymania and achieve all the success in life that Eminem has, and apologising for dissing that very parent on various songs for a troubled childhood. The beautiful voice of Sia covers the chorus which states that Eminem as a child was afraid to make any sounds, and believed that he would never find a way out. Eminem in the song claims that given the opportunity, he would rather make Not Afraid 2 than another stupid ‘We Made You’ ( a song of Eminem (Shady) which was highly controversial).

The song ends with Eminem passing the legacy that he’ll leave behind to the audience, as he says that the legend of the angry blonde will live on through his listeners when he’s gone.

The song is from the album Shady XV.

5. Survival

Another of Eminem’s song from the Marshal Mathers LP 2 is Survival, which is also a feature track for the video game Call of Duty : Ghosts. Eminem and Call of Duty go way back, with his songs such as Till I Collapse and Won’t Back Down being featured in the previous instalments of the video game. The video of the song features mainly scenes from the video game with occasional Eminem features visiting his hood in Detroit. The song is the most aggressive of all in this list, yet surprisingly does not induce anger but rather motivation in the listener. It goes with lyrics “This is the survival of the fittest; This is do or die” in the chorus, sung by Liz Rodriguez. As Eminem takes the song forth, it only gets verbally electrifying and is sure to leave the listeners in a state of daze and awe.

Other notable mentions for this article include – Cinderella Man, Venom ( from the album Kamikaze), Fall (from the album Kamikaze) and Till I Collapse.

Thank You.

Polluted air is linked to many life-threatening conditions including heart and lung ailments. A study by the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute states that constant exposure to polluted air cuts global average life expectancy by nearly two years. The situation is worse in the northern cities of India including the capital. The life of an average person is decreasing by ten years because of continuous exposure to toxic air.

A joint study by ASSOCHAM-TechSci Research states that by the end of 2023, the anti-pollution mask market of India may generate a revenue of $16.86 million. Rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and expansion of the urban population are linked to the deteriorating air quality in India. The presence of PM2.5 and PM10 in high concentration in the air has led to a massive sale of anti-pollution masks in India.

Global Health Observatory (GHO) in one of their reports state that 25% of the lung cancer deaths, 8% of COPD and 15% of heart disease cases are a cause of PM10 and PM2.5 exposure. The statistics of this report are high enough to ring an alarm in everyone’s mind.  

Though there are various remedies like using air purifiers, staying indoors as much as possible and keeping plants that aid in air purification, they only provide safety to a certain extent. Thus, buying a pollution mask has become imperative of all.

What to Look for in a Pollution Mask?

The first step is to identify air pollutants and picking an anti-pollution mask that offers maximum protection from Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), Ozone (O₃), Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Sulphur dioxide (SO₂). Some of these particles are so small that they can lodge themselves deep in the lungs.

Given the number of pollution masks available in the market, the journey of choosing the right one can be confusing. From large gas masks to the simple surgical ones, there are several options available to choose from. One can easily buy a pollution mask online from resellers like BreatheEasy. The wide range and detailed specifications help in choosing the right one.

How to Choose the Right Anti-Pollution Mask

When buying a pollution mask online or from the market, there are a few things to consider. The first factor that comes in play is the mask type. N-95 and N-99 anti-pollution masks are the best bet when it comes to tackling air pollution. The codes in these masks represent the particle filter class – an N-99 effectively filters out 99% of PM2.5 while N-95 filters out 95% of particulate matter. These anti-pollution masks are suitable for filtering almost all pollutants including noxious gases and heavy metal salts. There is another category of N-100 masks that are suitable for places with a higher level of pollution. These masks effectively filter out 99.97% of PM 2.5.

The next factor that needs consideration is the fit of the pollution mask. An ill-fitted mask will allow harmful gases to find their way to the nose and ultimately the lungs. An ideal mask is one that fits well on the chin, nose, and mouth. Many masks come with an adjustable strap to keep them intact and sealed from all sides.

The last and the most important thing to consider when buying a pollution mask online is the certification that it holds. Those masks with certifications like EN 149:2001+A1:2009 FFP2 R and Personal Protective Equipment by CE can be trusted to offer protection from harmful pollutants.

Your Safety Is in Your Hands

Looking at how the air quality is deteriorating at a rapid rate, wearing an air pollution mask has become a necessity. Children and senior citizens are most susceptible to the damaging effects of air pollution. So, buy an anti-pollution mask that is treated with silver to offer additional protection from virus and bacteria and comes with triple layer filtration system. Further, the mask you choose should showcase an excellent combination of quality workmanship and materials.

Choose to wear an anti-pollution mask to reduce the risk of encountering fatal health conditions when you step out in that grey haze. Stay healthy, feel fit!
