The destructive world of pro-eating disorder websites
These skinny images that we see in magazines, television and the internet, are of woman who weight 15% less than the average. The pro-eating disorder websites; promote eating disorders as a “safe lifestyle”. Furthermore these websites encourage deadly diets that can increase eating disorder behaviours. (Jett, Laporte, Wanchism, 2010)
Pro-eating disorder websites have amplified over the last few years; in supporting these unsafe behaviours. (Jett, Laporte, Wanchism, 2010) Frequently these websites refer themselves as “pro ana” (pro-anorexia) and “pro mia” (pro-bulimia); overtime it seems they have become a much louder voice for these vulnerable young woman. (Whitehead, 2010)
In evaluating the effects of these sites, a research was conducted to prove that it can be dangerous. The young women were shown three websites: of fashion, home decor and a pro-ana website. Before and after, they examined their moods, thoughts and eating habits. Outcomes specified that women who were exposed to the pro-ana website had experienced a drop in self esteem, feeling fat and negative thoughts about their weight. (Jett, Laporte, Wanchism, 2010)
Online there are other similar pro-eating disorder websites who have chat forums and personal pages. Young woman who mirror and talk their trust on the actual eating disorders that they know can be deadly. (Whitehead, 2010)
A study was conducted to measure the awareness and usage of the pro-eating disorder websites with youths who have been diagnosed with eating disorders and their parents. In the study; 182 questionnaires were giving back, 76 were from patients and 106 was from the parents. A little over half of the parents had an idea that their child was visiting pro-eating disorder sites.
The results of the patient were that 41% had read on pro-recovery sites, 35% visited pro-eating disorder sites. The rest of 25% had visited both websites. (Physical activity and diet, 2007)
In conclusion the pro-eating disorder websites are extremely harmful; as seen in the studies above. The internet needs to control the content of these websites; that has not helped these young women in their struggles with revering from their eating disorders. (Whitehead, 2010)

Bhim Singh Dahiya (1940 - 13 May 2000) () was a historian and civil servant who worked for the Indian Revenue Service (IRS). He was born in Sehri, a village in the Sonipat district of Haryana, India around 19 March 1940 (though official records put his birth date as 29 September 1940).
Career
Bhim Singh Dahiya studied for a B.Sc. at Panjab University, Chandigarh and an M.A. at Delhi University. He was selected for the Indian Revenue Service in 1963, having taken the IAS (Indian Administrative Service) examination, with English and history as his chosen specialisms. He admired the works of William Shakespeare and historical studies, with a particular interest in Indo-European cultures and languages. He retired from public service as Chief Commissioner of Income tax in 1998.
Books
*Jats, the Ancient Rulers: a clan study: a history of the Jat people, in which he linked gotra (clan) names to the existence of the Jats in Central Asia and Europe. It proposed that Chandragupta Maurya, the Kushans, the second Gupta Empire, and Harshavardhana were Jats. By applying Grimm's Law, he showed that letter G was a phonetic substitution for the J sound, since J did not exist in the ancient Greek alphabet. He contended that the Gutian people were Jats and the Kushans just one clan of the Jats rather than a separate people. Most Chinese, Western and most Indian historians refer to the Guti as ‘'Yuezhi’'.
*Aryan Tribes and the Rig Veda: a search for identity: he demonstrated how over 80 Jat gotras could be traced back to the Rig Veda. He treated the Rig Veda as a historical record of the deeds and memories of the Proto-Indo-Europeans in India, rather than as religious prayers, which had been the common assumption previously.
*History of Hindustan, in three volumes: edited by Dahiya.
Papers
In 1979, Dahiya published a paper, The Mauryas: Their Identity, in which he argued that the Mauryas were the Muras, or rather Mors, and were Jats of Scythian or Indo-Scythian origin. He claimed that the Jats still have Maur or Maud as one of their gotra names. Consequently Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya and all other emperors of the Mauryan dynasty were Scythian Jats. The Jat immigrants are close kin of the ancient Gutians of Sumer and the Goths (also spelt as Gots) known in Latin as Getae.
Also, Arnold J. Toynbee, the highly reputed historian of Anglo-American origin, noted:
