Taste buds further sample the chemical makeup of foods and beverages for nutrient content, palatability, and potential toxicity.

The characteristic clinical presentation reveals multiple raised, discrete, yellowish-white non-vesicular lesions with surrounding erythematic appearance commonly seen on the roof of the posterior aspect of the oral cavity.

Large chunks of the people of Kurdish ethnicity were made part of the evolving Turkish, Syrian, Iranian and Iraqi polity. They came face to face with new political reality, which either refused to acknowledge and honour the sensibilities related to their political aspiration and cultural identity or forcefully transformed them into a permanent ‘fifth columnist’ and a thorn in the flesh of the new evolving polity. Since then people of Kurdish ethnicity are embroiled into embedded and perpetual conflicts everywhere and fighting the assimilationist forces represented by the ethnicized nation states of Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq-till Saddam led Baathist regime. Kurds of Iraq are confronting is conceptualized in terms of historical legacies and the subsequent political developments owing to the internal factors, regional geo-strategic situation and the interference of the foreign powers in the paper. It also highlights the domestic, regional and international factors which have been shaping Kurdish question in Iraq and elsewhere.
