Forensic archeology helps unravel mystery of skeletons found in Punjab
<p dir="ltr">In 2014, skeletons were found in the well in a Gurdwara in Ajnala area of Punjab. Who do the skeletons belong to? While historical records said that these could be Indian soldiers killed by the British during the 1857 armed uprising, there were several other theories about it. How did scientists go about investigating this mystery? We spoke to Dr J S Sehrawat, a forensic anthropologist from Panjab University. This podcast is the story of the fascinating world of forensic anthropology. </p> <p dir="ltr">Reporting and research - Menaka Rao<br>Co-host and audio editing - Rakesh Kamal</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Additional Reading:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.anthropology.uw.edu.pl/10/bne-10-06.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.anthropology.uw.edu.pl/10/bne-10-06.pdf&source=gmail&ust=1664635851677000&usg=AOvVaw3om4yyHDkKPk4LPx8KxKK9">Short fieldwork report.

Why are cloudbursts the new normal?
<p>In the past couple of decades, we have been hearing of cloudbursts in some part of the country or another. How is the Indian Meteorological Department studying this phenomenon? Why are these incidents increasing over a period of time, and what can be done to minimize the damages cloudbursts cause, both to life and property?<br><br>To understand this phenomenon, we spoke to Roxy Mathew Koll, a climate scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune studying climate change research, and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, floods, heat waves, and cyclones among others.</p><p>See <a href="https://www.sunoindia.in/privacy-policy">sunoindia.in/privacy-policy</a> for privacy information.</p>
