“Our present education system needs to be changed so that we can sensitize people about such stereotypes right from the beginning,” he added, further mentioning that people from such tribal communities are even bullied because of such a mentality. In order to change the way people think, we have to converse together to find a solution to such problems,” said Yadav. “It is very important to stop such things, this is very important that we stop these things and change the mentality of people, for which we have to work together. “Whatever words had been used in that video were wrong and it was not done intentionally,” he said, sending a heartfelt apology to students and audiences who watched the video.


Talking about jhum cultivation in the UPSC training video, the faculty said “during Jhum cultivation, what happens is that these tribal people we have, these people neither have brains nor property nor land documents”. This incident occurred less than a week after a faculty at a UPSC training institute called tribal farmers “brainless.” In a video shared on Twitter, one can see Siddharth Singh, a faculty, in his lecture called “Mission IAS 2021 | Geography by Siddharth Sir | Biomes” talking about Jhum cultivation, had used extremely racist language against Northeast tribal farmers.

The drug has caused mental illnesses similar to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD in some users. Cases have been reported in which a user was reduced to a psychotic state after using “Mojo” and other synthetic cannabinoids only once. Psychotic episodes and both suicidal and homicidal fixations are not rare in users under the influence of these drugs.

Other signs that a person has ingested “Mojo” could include nausea, vomiting, seizures, muscle spasms, and tremors, coupled with intense hallucinations. In many users, “Mojo” and other synthetic cannabinoids produce severe agitation, paranoia, and anxiety, along with an increased heart rate and high blood pressure. In actuality, this synthetic drug produces effects that are much stronger than marijuana, often more unpredictable and in some cases life-threatening. In fact, “Mojo” and other synthetic cannabinoids are often sold as a “legal alternative to marijuana” and are packaged in brightly colored wrappers similar to children’s candy. Because of the term “synthetic”, many people, including first-time users, are fooled into thinking that synthetic marijuana is not as harmful or dangerous as the real thing. Synthetic cannabinoids, or “mojo” is made of natural herbs or plant matter, which are then sprayed with synthetic chemicals that are supposed mimic the effects of real marijuana when they are ingested or inhaled. “Mojo” is another name for a group of drugs marketed as synthetic marijuana, also sold as “Spice,” “K2,” and “Scooby Snax,” and belongs to a relatively new group known as “ synthetic cannabinoids” or “new psychoactive substances”.
