International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples: Leaving no one behind

Observed on 9th August every year, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people.&nbsp;

Observed on 9th August every year, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people.&nbsp;

International Day of World&rsquo;s Indigenous Peoples 2021: As per the United Nations, there are around 476 million indigenous people living in 90 countries. This estimate accounts for 6.2 percent of the global population. Amongst them, while numerous indigenous groups are self-governing there are some who still find themselves under the ultimate control of an authoritative body.
Many indigenous communities are very often driven out of their lands, confronted with poverty and at times even subjected to marginalisation. A lot needs to be done before such groups with their unique heritage get wiped out from the pages of time.&nbsp;
Declared on 23rd December 1994 by the United Nations General Assembly, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people. Observed on 9th August every year, the day commemorates the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations in 1982.
The need of the hour is to establish inclusion and participation of indigenous people in the constitution of a system that will provide both social and economic benefits. From this demand comes the 2021 theme, &ldquo;Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract.&rdquo;
But what is a social contract? A Social contract is an unwritten agreement aimed at creating equal opportunities and socio-economic benefits for societies.&nbsp;A new social contract must be framed in such a way that it helps foster equal opportunities and ensures the rights, dignity and freedoms of all.

The languages used by indigenous communities act as an Encyclopedia of medical knowledge. When these languages fade, the age-old knowledge of medicine disappears.

When languages fade so does the age-old medical knowledge, warns study!

The languages used by indigenous communities act as an Encyclopedia of medical knowledge. According to a new study when these languages fade, with them&nbsp;disappears the age-old knowledge of medicine.&nbsp;

Communities, especially indigenous communities have for years used their surrounding biodiversity to create a &ldquo;living pharmacy&rdquo; of their own. The languages used by them act as an Encyclopedia of medical knowledge which the world cannot afford to lose.
According to a study by the University of Zurich, "75 percent of the world&rsquo;s medicinal plant applications are only known in one language." When these languages are not recorded and passed on from one generation to another, a lot of valuable information gets lost in the process. Sometimes languages are lost and forgotten when the prevalence of one language supersedes another.
It has also been estimated that there are around 7,400 languages in the world today. As per linguists, if these languages are not recorded and passed on then 30 percent of all languages can disappear by the end of the 21st century.
The study also suggests that the extinction of languages and cultural diversity will have a more devastating effect on the field of medicine than biodiversity loss.&nbsp;
In conclusion, for its survival, it is necessary to create a society where threatened languages are taught, used and preserved. These languages need to be documented before they disappear forever!
