摘要

2024年的北方夏季对印度人的健康产生了不同寻常的影响。全国中暑病例数量上升，相关部门发出警告，以防止因高温造成健康问题和死亡。在那些通常气温较高、天气干燥的邦，如拉贾斯坦邦、古吉拉特邦和中央邦，这种影响更为明显。通常，政府和非政府利益攸关方的干预目标是边缘化人口和经济较弱的群体（印度家庭年收入低于80万卢比的一类人），以减少高温对健康的影响。2024年，包括耆那教僧侣在内的一群人受到了印度西部各州热浪的影响。耆那教是世界上最古老的宗教之一，已有2500多年的历史，主要在印度有一小部分信徒。耆那教僧侣过着简朴的生活，靠基本的生活必需品为生，一生都在村庄之间旅行。他们遵循某些宗教限制，使他们容易受到与热有关的疾病。夏季是僧侣们徒步穿越各州到达一个特定地方的时候，他们将在那里度过接下来四个月的季风。他们一大早就开始赤脚走路，目标是在中午之前到达附近的休息地点。他们计划在夏季旅游高峰开始前的3月到达一个预定的宗教地点。但有时，如果要去另一个州，他们必须步行数百公里，这就很困难了。耆那教僧侣不使用车辆、鞋子、电或电子产品。人们尽量避免使用轮椅，除非它们非常虚弱。僧侣们在特定的前提下从不同的家庭收集食物，包括不使用手机。这些情况导致前往更多的家庭获取食物和水。在夏季，当对水的需求增加时，僧侣们必须比平时更多地赤脚外出取水。
