KANHA

Kanha is situated in Madhya Pradesh. Kanha’s Sal and bamboo forests, rolling grassland and meandering streams stretch over 940 sq km in dramatic natural splendor. Kanha National Park forms the core of the Kanha Tiger Reserve created in 1974 under Project Tiger. The park is the only habitat of the rare hard ground barasingha.  
In the 1930s, the Khana area was divided into two sanctuaries, Gallon and Banjar, of 250 sq km and 300 sq km each. Though one of these was subsequently disbanded, the area remained a protected one until 1947. Depletion of the tiger population in the years that followed led to the area being made an absolute sanctuary in 1952.
By a special statute in 1955, Khana National Park came into being. Since then, a series of stringent conservation programmes for the protection of the park’s flora and fauna has given Khana it’s deserved reputation for being one of the best and finest administered National Parks in Asia.
Forest Department guides accompany visitors around the park on mapped-out circuits which enable viewers to see a good cross-section of Kanha’s wildlife. The best areas are the meadows around Kanha, where black buck, chital and barasingha can be seen throughout the day.
Kanha has some 22 species of mammals. Those most easily spotted are the stripped palm squirrel, common langur, jackal, wild pig, chital or spotted dear, barasingha or swamp dear, sambar and black buck.
Patient watching should reward the visitor with a sight of Indian fox, sloth bear, striped hyena, jungle cat, leopard, mouse deer, chausingha or four horned antelope, nilgai, ratel and procupine. Wolf can be seen far east of the park, chinkara can be found outside the park’s northern boundary. Indian pangolin, the smooth Indian otter and the small Indian civet are also the rarely seen species.
Kanha has some 200 species of birds. Watchers shoud station themselves in the hills, where you can see bamboo forest and other species of flora. Water birds can be seen near the park’s many rivulets and at Sarvantal, a pool that is frequented by water birds and the area in front of the museum. The sal forests do not normally yield a sight of Kanha’s avifauna. Early mornings and late afternoons are best for bird watching, binoculars are an invaluable aid to the watchers. Commonly seen birds are cattle egret, pond heron, black Ibis, common peafowl, crested serpent eagle, racket-tailed drongo, hawk, red wattled lapwing, dove, parakeet, woodpecker, Indian roller and grey hornbill.
Bamni Dadar known as Sunset Point, this is one of the most beautiful areas of the park, from where a spectacular sunset can be watched.
October to June is the best time to visit Kanha National Park. The park is closed from 1st July to 30th September due to rains. For  those planning a visit, a stay of at at least three nights is recommended in order to have a good chance of seeing the more elusive animals.

The sanctuary compromised of territorial forests of the present North and South Panna Forest Division to which a portion of the adjoining Chhatarpur forest division was added later. The reserved forests of the Park in Panna district and some protected forests bordering Chhatarpur were the hunting reserves of the erstwhile rulers of Panna, Chhatarpur and Bijawar princely states in the past. The location of the National Park is crucial as it is situated at a point where the continuity of the forest belt, which starts from Cape Comorin in the south is broken and from there beyond, the great Gangetic plains begin. This area is also the northern most tip of the natural teak forests and the eastern most tip of the natural Kardhani forests. The Ken river, which flows through the reserve from south to north, is home for Gharial and Mugger.
Tiger, the king of the jungle, roams freely in the secure habitat along with his fellow creatures like leopard, wild dog, wolf, hyena and caracal and smaller cats. Sloth bear has his most favorite home in the rock escarpments and undistributed vales. The wooded areas are dotted with sambar – the largest of Indian deers, chital and chowsingha. Other animals that can be found are nilgai, chinkara, snakes and reptiles.
There are more than 200 species of birds including migratory birds. One can see White Necked Stork, Bar-Headed Goose, Honey Buzzard, King vulture, Blossom Headed parakeet,etc.
Panna has dry and hot climate and has shallow Vindhyan soil which give rise to dry Teak and dry mixed forest. The dominating vegetation type is miscellaneous dry deciduous forest inter spread with grassland areas. The characteristic floral species of this area include tree species such as Tectona fransis, Diospyros melanoxylon, Madhuva indica, Buchnania latifolia, etc.

These have been found in the old state of Rewa for many years. The last known was captured by Maharaja Martand Singh in 1951. This white tiger, Mohun, is now stuffed and on display in the palace of the Maharajas of Rewa.
The terrain is of great Rocky hills rising sharply from the swampy and densely-forested valley bottoms. The finest of these hills in Bandhavgarh, sided with great cliffs and eroded rocks and on its highest point stands Bandhavgarh Fort, and particularly around the fort, are numerous caves containing shrines and ancient Sanskrit inscriptions.
Prior to becoming a National Park, the forests around Bandhavgrah had long been maintained by as a Shikargah, or game reserve, of the Maharajas of Rewa. Hunting was carried out by the Maharajas and their guests – otherwise the wildlife was relatively well-protected. 
In 1947 Rewa State was merged with Madhya Pradesh; Bandhavgarh came under the regulation of Madhya Pradesh. The Maharaja of Rewa still retained the hunting rights of Bandhavgarh and no special measures were taken until 1968, when the areas were constituted as a National Park, since then, numerous steps have been taken to retain Bandhavgarh Bational Park as an unspoilt natural habitat.

Over 1,200 species of plants have been recorded in the area including several rare and endangered plants as well as plants of ethnobotanical importance.
Pench National Park is the original setting of Rudyard kipling’s famous work, The Jungle Book. The character, Mowgli, was inspired by Sir William Henry Sleeman’s pamphlet, ‘An Account of Wolves Nurturing Children in Their Dens’ which describes a jungle boy captured in Seoni district near the village of Seoni district near the village of Sant Baori in 1831. 
Pench being situated in Central India is subjected to extreme and tropical weather. Month of January may also witness sub-zero temperatures and frost. Monsoon arrives in the second week of June. 
The forests found in Pench Tiger Reserve are divided into three parts as follows:-
1.Southern Tropical Wet Deciduous Forest
2.Southern Tropical Dry Teak Deciduous Forest
3.Southern Tropical Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest
Dry mixed forest spreads in about one-third area of the protected area. Whose main species are salai, pickle, moyan, tendu etc. Kahua (Arjuna), Jamuna, Guular and Saja are found along the banks of river streams. Trees of Mahua, Palash, Plum etc. are found scattered around the open forests of displaced areas of old villages. Teak forests are found in about one quarter area.

History & Law

                                            (Photo: University of Chicago Law School)

“History and law are two sides of a polished mirror”. As we read it, that is there any relation of history with the law, then suddenly it strikes our mind that these two are different subjects because in India students mostly take topics in relation with the subjects they are studying. But when we think beyond, the subject we get to know that history and law are interrelated. Laws are influenced by events in history. The events which have happened before and what their outcomes were and what things can be changed for the better. In taking all these points in mind, laws are made. We take a lesson from our history to make laws.

 History is also related to law. As we read the incidents in our history, they are somehow related to the laws which existed at those times. The British laws which are still followed now from our history are Indian penal code,1860; the transfer of property act, 1882; the foreigner’s act, 1946; Income tax act, 1961; Indian evidence act,1872; Indian police act,1861; etc.

 The goods and the bads all somehow share a relationship with the laws and rules. The movements which changed the life of many countries also took place because of the heinous laws in countries like the French revolution, the American civil war, the National movements in India, and many more. All are related to laws that became unbearable torture on the victims. One can study the connection between law and history in comparative law. Comparison of laws of different time scales can be done. Law is a process that makes the public civilized, abides by norms that are set by society from time to time. Hence, the law is continuity in search of humanity and civility.

 Now the question that arises is: “Which part of history is relevant in today’s time“? According to my, contemporary history is most important in the present time. Contemporary history includes the span of historical events starting from 1945. These events are most relevant to the present time scenario. Many historians describe the early modern period as the time frame between 1500 and 1800.  This period mainly follows the late middle-age period. Further, it is marked by the initial European colonies, the beginning of recognizable nation-states as well as the rise of strong centralized government.

 Contemporary history helps in strengthening the cultural identity of a nation. This is because when we learn about the cultural heritage of our race or religion, we engulf ourselves in an abundance of information, which often depicts the decisions our ancestors made or the traditions that have been carried down the generations. These define who we are and why we exist in our society.

 History well told is beautiful. Many of the historians who most appeal to the general reading public, know the importance of dramatic and skillful writing as well as of accuracy. History is very important because it helps us to understand the present. If we will listen to what history has to say, we can come to a sound understanding of the past that will tell us much about the problems we now face. If we refuse to listen to history, we will find ourselves fabricating a past that reinforces our understanding of current problems.

 To conclude, George Mosse once said, “What man is, the only history tells.” History is interlinked with law. With truly reading, one can have a holistic view of the idea of the concept. In my view, contemporary history is more relevant in today’s time. The study of it is still relevant albeit the uncertainty of today’s world. As the saying goes, “With age comes wisdom“, is a true reminder of the experience one gains with the passage of times (which is history).

An unexamined life is not worth living

 by Shashikant Nishant Sharma 

                                                       (Photo: Motivation Mentalist)

Well said by
Socrates.

An
unexamined human life is deprived of the meaning and purpose of existence. The
ability to introspect removes the individualistic absurdity by invoking a
commitment to moral integrity and social solidarity.

 Just like a seed
needs soil, sunlight and water for its germination, human life needs
introspection and examination for its growth. A greater understanding of the
experiences gained in the life at any particular time, enriches one’s
engagement with self and the universe.

Mahatma Gandhi’s
examination of self through his autobiography, “My experiments with
truth”, highlights the significance of reflection on life. Mahatma Gandhi
was not only able to map his weaknesses and vulnerabilities through the
examination, but was also able to question his prejudices and understand his
strength as a human being.

 This very ability
to reflect on life adds more depth to the character of Arjun in Mahabharat than
most of the other characters. Instead of following the norms and fighting with
his clan, Arjun questions the meaninglessness of the war and the purpose of his
life.

 The fast-changing
societies and consumerist culture in the contemporary world leave less time for
human beings to examine and think about the changes. Adaptation to changes have
become automatic and unquestionable.

 The quotation has
strong relevance in the present times where human beings are burdened with the
histories of war, colonisation, nationalisation, erosion of morality in the
scientific and technological advancements and the sense of spiritual
uprootedness. 

It is in these
times that one needs to dwell deeper into the conscience to find the purpose of
existence and engage in a more meaningful manner with the society.

 

ATTITUDES AND JOB SATISFACTION

 ATTITUDES AND JOB SATISFACTION


Attitudes are evaluative statements they may either be favorable or unfavorable. It is concerned with the objects, people or events. They reflect how we feel about something which finally leads to everything because that an Attitude. They are complex, to be more estimable it is considered to be as the fundamental properties or components.

The attitude towards the job is all what defines us. Typically, researchers assume that attitudes have three components: COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE, BEHAVIORAL. Cognitive component is the opinion or belief with a particular segment of an attitude. Affective component is the motion or feeling segment of an attitude. Behavioral component is an intention to behave in a certain way forward or toward someone or something.


When it comes to Organizations, attitudes are important. When we think Job is important, we need to change our attitude, according to the sequence with the knowledge development. Performance can be enriched when one commits towards the job.


JOB SATISFACTION

We as human beings have thousand of attitudes, but Organizational behavior focuses on a very limited number of that form positive or negative evaluations that employees hold about their work environment. Much of the research has looked at three attitudes Job Satisfaction, Job involvement and Organizational commitment. Other important attitudes include perceived organizational support and employee engagement. 

The job satisfaction is said to be a positive feeling about evaluating job characteristics while a person with the negative feeling shows less job satisfaction. Employees with high job involvement strategy, identify, with care about the kind of work they do, they enjoy themselves.

An employees’ asset is the true satisfaction as if it were separate from life satisfaction, but they may be more related to think. Life satisfaction decreases when people become unemployed, according to research in Germany, and not just because of the loss of income. Research in Europe says that job satisfaction is positively correlated with the life satisfaction, and your attitudes and experiences in life spill over into your job approaches and experiences.


HOW CAN I MAKE MY JOB BETTER?

  1. You can work on your attitude to either improve your experience or find a positive perspective. 
  1. Write down everything you hate about your job, but wait for a few days off so that you can get a more objective view important. 
  1. Be specific, Think about the environment, the people and the work separately, find something positive even if it’s just the coffee in the break room.
  1. Job satisfaction is generally more strongly related to how interesting you work is than it is to other factors.
  1. Read your lists aloud to a few trusted friends.
  1. Decide what to do, you will be getting a solution.



One of most visionary politician, Leader and a legend himself : Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

Subhas Chandra Bose (Bengali pronunciation: Subhash Chondra Bosh) was the foremost and biggest leader of India’s freedom struggle. During the Second World War, to fight against the British, he formed the Azad Hind Fauj with the help of Japan. The slogan of Jai Hind given by him has become the national slogan of India. The people of India address him by the name of Netaji.

Subhash Chandra Bose gave famous slogans like ‘Give me blood, I will give you freedom’ and ‘Jai Hind’, passed the Indian Administrative Service examination, was elected President of Congress in 1938 and 1939, formed the Forward Bloc in 1939, Founded ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ to drive out the British from the country.

He was an eminent leader of the Indian freedom struggle. Although most of the credit for the contribution to the independence of the country is given to Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru, the contribution of Subhas Chandra Bose was also no less than anyone.

Early Life :

He was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack city of Orissa. His father Janaki Nath Bose was an eminent lawyer. His mother Prabhavati Devi was Sati and a religious woman. Prabhavati and Janaki Nath had 14 children, six daughters and eight sons. Subhash was ninth among them. Subhash was promising in studies since childhood. He had secured first position in class 10th examination and also came first in graduation. 

He earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the Scottish Church College in Calcutta. At the same time, he was recruiting in the army. He also tried to join the army but was disqualified due to poor eyesight. He was a follower of Swami Vivekananda. According to the wishes of his family, in the year 1919, he went to study in England to prepare for the Indian Administrative Service.

Career :

He applied for the Indian Administrative Service in 1920 and not only got success in this examination but also secured the fourth position. He was deeply disturbed by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and resigned from the administrative service in 1921. After coming back to India Netaji came in contact with Gandhiji and joined the Indian National Congress. He started working with Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das as per the instructions of Gandhiji. He later described Chittaranjan Das as his political guru. 

Subhash very soon joined the main leaders of the Congress with his understanding and hard work. When the Simon Commission came in 1928, the Congress opposed it and showed black flags. In 1928, the annual session of the Congress was held in Kolkata under the chairmanship of Motilal Nehru. In this session, one year’s time was given to give ‘Dominion Status’ to the British Government. During that time Gandhiji did not agree with the demand of Purna Swaraj.

On the other hand, Subhash and Jawaharlal Nehru did not accept to back down from the demand for Purna Swaraj. In 1930 he formed the Independence League. During the ‘Civil Disobedience’ movement of 1930, Subhash was arrested and sent to jail. He was released in 1931 after the Gandhiji-Irwin Pact. Subhash opposed the Gandhi-Irwin Pact and was also not happy with the decision to stop the ‘Civil Disobedience’ movement.

Subhash was soon imprisoned again under the ‘Bengal Act’. During this he had to stay in jail for about a year and later he was released from jail due to illness. They were sent from India to Europe. There he established centers in many cities to enhance the political and cultural relations between India and Europe. Despite the ban on his coming to India, he came to India and as a result he had to go to jail for 1 year.

After the elections of 1937, the Congress party came to power in 7 states and after that Subhash was released. Shortly after this, Subhash was elected president in the Haripura session of Congress (1938). During his tenure, Subhash formed the ‘National Planning Committee’. In the Tripuri session of 1939, Subhash was re-elected as the President. This time Subhash was competing with Pattabhi Sitaramayya. Sitaramayya had full support of Gandhiji, yet Subhash won the election by 203 votes.

During this, the clouds of World War II were also starting to shake and Subhash gave an ultimatum to the British to leave the country in 6 months. This attitude of Subhash was opposed by other people of Congress including Gandhiji, due to which he resigned from the post of President and established ‘Forward Block’.

Subhash strongly opposed the use of India’s resources by the British in World War II and started a mass movement against it. His movement was getting tremendous support from the public. So he was imprisoned in Kolkata and kept under house arrest. In January 1941, Subhash managed to escape from his home and reached Germany via Afghanistan. In view of the notion of ‘the enemy is the enemy, the friend is’, he appealed to Germany and Japan for help in expelling the British Raj from India.

In January 1942, he started broadcasting from Radio Berlin, which increased the enthusiasm of the people of India. In 1943, he came to Singapore from Germany. Reaching East Asia, he took command of the ‘Freedom Movement’ from Rash Behari Bose and started preparing for the war by forming the Azad Hind Fauj. Azad Hind Fauj was established mainly by the Japanese army with the Indian prisoners of war captured from the British army. After this Subhash came to be called ‘Netaji’.

Now the Azad Hind Fauj started moving towards India and first liberated Andaman and Nicobar. Azad Hind Fauj crossed the Burma border and threatened Indian soil on 18 March 1944. With the defeat of Japan and Germany in World War II, the dream of Azad Hind Fauj could not be fulfilled.

Mysterious Demise : 

The death of Netaji, who once dusted the British by changing his mask and face, also happened in a very mysterious way. After the defeat of Japan in World War II, Netaji needed to find a new way. He had decided to seek help from Russia. On August 18, 1945, Netaji was on his way to Manchuria by plane. During this journey he went missing. After this day they have never been seen by anyone. On 23 August 1945, Japan’s Domei news organization reported to the world that on 18 August Netaji’s airplane had crashed on Taiwanese land and Netaji breathed his last in the hospital after being badly injured in that accident. But even today many doubts are raised about his death.

Our heroic great men, by sacrificing their lives, maintained the unity and integrity of the country, for which the coming generation will always remember their contribution. No one in history can match Netaji’s wisdom and courage. He had a combination of both courage and intelligence. It was because of a very intelligent mind that he was so influential that the British decided to eliminate him on sight. Frankly speaking I 


The Ultimate Guide to Cryptocurrency

 

Want to be
a crypto expert? Well, I have got your back. Cryptocurrency is something that
everyone wants to talk about. But only a few of them know. So, let’s discuss cryptocurrency.

                                                              (Photo: The Economic Times)

Since man
evolved, the currency has become a part of our lives. Before the caveman used
the “Barter System”. In the barter system, a commodity was exchanged
for another commodity. However, the barter system fell out as it had some
flaws. Then the modern currency as we know it came into existence. In 110 BC,
an official currency was minted. In 1250 AD, gold-plated florins were
introduced. And in 1600 AD – 1900 AD, the paper currency gained popularity.
This is how modern currency came into existence. There’s a centralized
regulatory authority to limit the modern currency. Now imagine the scenario of
doing an online transaction. This transaction takes place successfully but
there are several ways this could have gone wrong like a technical issue,
account hack, or the transfer limit must have exceeded. This is why the future
of currency lies with cryptocurrency. 

Imagine a
transaction between two people in the future. One of them has the bitcoin app
and there’s a notification asking whether they are ready to transfer 5
Bitcoins. If yes, then processing takes place. All of this happens in a matter
of seconds. This in return removes all the flaws of modern banking. There’s no
limit to the funds which you can transfer, your accounts cannot get hacked and
there’s no central point of failure.

So,
cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured by
cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit. There are
thousands of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency is quite similar to any physical
currency, it’s just that it does not has any physical embodiment.

Features of
Cryptocurrency:

1. There’s
a limit to how many units can exist.

2. Easily
verifies the transfer of funds.

3.
Operating independently of a bank.

4. Working
in a decentralized manner.

5. Allows
new units to be added only after certain conditions are met.

So, what
makes cryptocurrency so special?

1. Little
to no transaction cost.

2. 24/7
access to money.

3. No
limits on purchases and withdrawals.

4. Freedom
for anyone to use.

5. International
transactions are faster.

What’s the
“CRYPTO” in cryptocurrency?

Crypto
refers to cryptography. It is a method of using encryption and decryption to
secure communication in the presence of third parties with ill intent.
Cryptography usually requires a computational algorithm (like SHA256), a public
key (that the user shares with everyone), and a private key (which acts as a
digital signature of the user).

Now let’s
talk about a normal bitcoin transaction. First, you have the transaction
details. Now, these details who you want to send to and how many bitcoins you
want to send. Then it’s passed through a hashing algorithm. For Bitcoin, we use
the SHA256 algorithm. The outcome which you get is passed through a signature
algorithm with the user’s private key. This is used to uniquely identify the
user. This output is then distributed across the network with the sender’s
public key. The people who verify the transaction to check whether it’s valid
or not are known as MINERS. Now after this is done, the transactions are added
to the blockchain where they cannot be changed again.

Now let’s
talk about the biggest cryptocurrency. Not every crypto coin is good. The top
two are Bitcoin and Ether. The similarities between these two are:

1. They are
the biggest and most valuable cryptocurrencies.

2. Both of
them use blockchain and mine currency using proof of work.

3. Widely
used across the globe.

The
differences between these two are:

1. Bitcoin
is used to send money to someone. Ether is used as a currency in the Ethereum
network.

2. Bitcoin
transactions are manual. Ether transactions are manual or automatic.

3. Bitcoin
is slow. It takes 10 minutes to perform a transaction. Whereas, Ether is fast.
It takes about 20 seconds to perform a transaction.

4. Bitcoin
is used as money for real-world transactions. Ether is used to power the
Ethereum network and power real-life transactions.

5. Bitcoin
is used for transactions involving goods and services. Ether uses blockchain to
create a ledger that triggers a transaction when a condition is met.

6. Bitcoin
uses an algorithm known as SHA256 for hashing. Ethereum uses the Ethash
algorithm for hashing.

How to
invest in cryptocurrency?

Everything
in life involves risk and so does crypto. One needs to have proper knowledge to
start investing. The first thing which we need to do is to find a crypto
exchange. We need to do a detailed background check. Some of the popular
exchanges in India are Wazir X, Coin DCX, and Coin Switch Kuber. The next step
is to create an account. Once it gets created, we need to deposit the amount to
buy bitcoins. Then pick a crypto coin. And then you can get started.

The Future
of Cryptocurrency

Before
people used to invest in gold and real estate. With time, the return decreased.
It was only after this when cryptocurrency started rising. This digital coin has
very fast gained popularity mainly because of the support from billionaire
tycoons like Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Michael Novogratz. More and more
people are getting drawn towards it especially after the pandemic. It has
gotten so high after the COVID happened. Lots of countries printed trillions of
dollars. Investors have doubled their amount. However, cryptocurrency is
predicted to face a conflict between regulation and anonymity. Futurists
believe that by 2030, cryptocurrencies would occupy 25% of national currencies.
There have also been demands to classify Bitcoin as an asset class in India.
India is currently on the cusp of the next phase of the digital revolution. And
blockchain and cryptocurrency will be an integral part of it.

How to take care of your health from corona?

In today’s pandemic time, health is the foremost thing to
take care of. So, here I am sharing an insight about Corona and ways to take
care of ourselves from it. Let’s begin.

We all have witnessed the most life-threatening disease,
that is, Coronavirus, started in 2020. Coronavirus is a communicable disease
which means it can easily transfer from one person to another. It has
dreadfully impacted millions of lives globally. No doubt, we all have lost our
loved ones’. It has turned employed persons into jobless, farmers with no food,
middle class into poor class, mass killing of innocent migrant workers, in
short, it has turned the brightest chapter of our lives into the darkest one’s,
where we had no choice, except, Death.

The situation became worse day-by-day. We have entered 2021
but with Coronavirus. The researchers, scientists, health organization, all
strove effortlessly to come up with a solution to cure it. But as such no
permanent solution has come up, except, the vaccine which does not really
protect the person entirely. Health is really important for all of us. And more
important is to maintain our health. Because if we don’t do, we can easily
catch up with different disease and it can trigger the situation. It’s totally
on us whether we want to be healthy or how we want our body to be? So, it’s our
responsibility to make a fair choice. Maintaining a good health physical
exercise, which will help in keeping the body fit, balanced diet comprises of
all essential nutrients, staying healthy mentally, away from depression and
anxiety and much more.

Now let’s take a look at the symptoms of COVID and some
basic ways to prevent ourselves to come in contact with the disease. Firstly,
the symptoms are: Headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, cough, sore
throat. 

WARNING SIGN:  Whenever you observe such
symptoms in yourself, you should immediately contact the Doctor and get
yourself quarantined. You should understand the fact that if you get infected,
you can also infect your family members, friends or people around you. So be a
responsible person and seek medical help on an urgent basis.

If it’s a mild fever and you don’t observe any other
symptoms then take one tablet of DOLO 650. Consume multi-vitamins tablet on a
daily basis to boost your immunity. Along with the consumption of medicines,
drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated, eat fruits and vegetables rich
in nutrients, maintain hygiene. You can also eat dry fruits but if you can’t
afford, it then you can drink milk with turmeric added in it or soya chunks or
peanuts. 

Some of the basic ways to prevent the spread of disease are:

  • Wear
    a mask properly. Ensure that your nose and mouth is properly covered.

  • Use hand
    gloves to avoid getting touched by people around you.

  • Use
    hand sanitizer all the time as it will help to kill the bacteria.

  • Avoid
    travelling if it’s not urgent. Stay indoor as much as possible because you
    never know what can happen with you anytime and at any place.

  • Wash
    your hands properly as it will help to kill the germs.

  • Whenever
    you come from outside open your clothes, keep it away and take bath
    properly. Try using Dettol while bathing.  

  • Do
    not use other person mask or sanitizer. Ensure that you are living in a
    healthy and hygiene environment.

  • Do
    not share your things like water, food with others. As I have already
    mentioned that it’s a communicable disease so it’s better to avoid.

Remember, it’s very important to take precaution at the
first place itself so that you don’t regret later. As our lives are on our own
hands. Not only ours but also other lives too and we too need to become a
responsible person.

Due to the ongoing situation most of the people have lost
their dear ones which at certain level have affected them mentally like they
overthink, depression or anxiety. I totally understand their emotions. But it’s
also true that what has gone will never return. Instead, we need to gear up
ourselves and stand like a strong pillar. We need to motivate ourselves because
we all are in this together. Mental health is also a very serious concern. The
most important thing is we should not stop smiling. When you smile it releases
positive energy within yourself and surrounding. We need to ensure that he or
she is smiling and keeping others happy too. This is also a way to boost up the
immunity. The more you think, the more you will become negative. 

First of all, stop being corona conscious. What I mean by
this is stop thinking about corona all the time like this or that can happen to
you. Because that’s going to affect you emotionally. Don’t let it play and take
over your emotions. It’s you who will have to decide whether you want to fight
or quit. Take a break from all this and do something which calms you down. For
example, do yoga, meditation. Do something that interests you. And take all the
precautions too. Trust me it’s the time to become a strong and be positive
pillar for yourself and your family. Instead of getting demotivated, stay
positive.

Now looking at the vaccine found out by the scientists. So,
the vaccination drive started globally. People started getting vaccinated. Most
people are afraid of getting vaccinated because they believe that they will
die. To pinpoint, few deaths have taken place but I want to clear that vaccine
is for boosting immunity. It will not protect you entirely. Even after taking
vaccine, you can get infected but the vaccine will help you to fight. After
taking vaccine one should stay at home for a week. It’s necessary because one
might get sick. 

At last, I would like to say, try to help others who are in
need. We have to be backbone of one other at this time. Through support we can
win the war against corona. Take care of yourself and your family. And don’t
forget to smile.

 

Complete story behind the Indo-Pak War 1971

All of us are familiar with this image in which Lt Gen Niazi signing the Instrument of Surrender under the gaze of Lt Gen Aurora. In 1971, Pakistan had received such a wound, the pain of which will always be felt by it. In the same year, Pakistan was bifurcated and India had given it a crushing defeat.

The year 1971 holds great significance in the history of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In the same year, India had inflicted a wound on Pakistan, the pain of which will always be felt by Pakistan. Talking about Bangladesh, this was the year when Bangladesh emerged as an independent country on the world map. The history-changing war of 1971 began on December 3, 1971. Let us know today the complete story of the two pieces of Pakistan and the coming into existence of Bangladesh…

The Background of War : 

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was fighting for the autonomy of East Pakistan from the beginning. He had announced a six-point program for this. Due to all these things, he had become the glamor of the Pakistani government. Along with this, some other Bengali leaders were also on the target of Pakistan. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and other Bengali leaders were tried for separatist agitation for their suppression and to suppress the voice of rebellion forever.
But this move of Pakistan itself overshadowed it. This made Mujibur Rahman a hero in the eyes of the people of East Pakistan. This put Pakistan on the back foot and withdrew the conspiracy case against Mujibur Rahman.
1970 Elections in Pakistan :

The 1970 elections in Pakistan proved to be very important for the existence of Bangladesh. In this election, Mujibur Rahman’s party East Pakistani Awami League won a landslide victory. Mujib’s party got 169 to 167 seats in East Pakistan. In the 313-seat Pakistani parliament, Mujib had an overwhelming majority to form the government. But the leaders and military rule of West Pakistan controlling Pakistan did not accept that Mujib should rule over Pakistan. This deception with Mujib intensified the fire of rebellion in East Pakistan. People took to the streets and started agitating. The ruling establishment of Pakistan called in the army to quell the rebellion in East Pakistan.
Pakistani Army Atrocities :

The freedom movement in East Pakistan was increasing day by day. The Pakistani army resorted to atrocities to suppress the movement. In March 1971, the Pakistani army launched a brutal operation. Large scale atrocities were committed in East Bengal. Murder and rape ensued. Mujeeb was arrested. A large number of Awami League members fled to India to avoid arrest and torture.
Initially four infantry brigades of the Pakistani Army were involved in the operation but later their numbers increased. The refugee crisis in India began to escalate. Within less than a year, about 10 million refugees from Bangladesh fled to India and took refuge in West Bengal. This increased the pressure on India to take action against Pakistan.
India’s Intervention :

It is believed that at the end of March 1971, the Government of India decided to help the Mukti Vahini. Muktivahini was actually the army of East Pakistan which liberated Bangladesh from Pakistan. The Mukti Vahini included soldiers and thousands of civilians from East Pakistan. On March 31, 1971, Indira Gandhi, while giving a speech in the Indian Parliament, spoke of helping the people of East Bengal. On July 29, 1971, a public announcement was made in the Indian Parliament to help the boys of East Bengal. The Indian Army started preparations from its side. This preparation also included training the fighters of the Mukti Vahini. 
In the months of October-November, 1971, the then Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi and her advisors visited Europe and America. He put the vision of Bharat in front of the leaders of the world. But the talks between Indira Gandhi and the then US President Richard Nixon did not reach any conclusion. Nixon refused to do anything for the release of Mujibur Rahman. Nixon wanted the military government of West Pakistan to be given two years. On the other hand Indira Gandhi said that the situation in Pakistan is explosive. This situation cannot be correct unless Mujeeb is released and talks are started with the elected leaders of East Pakistan. He also told Nixon that if Pakistan continued provocations across the border (in India), India would not hesitate to retaliate.
Attack on India and Start of the war :
The East Pakistan crisis reached an explosive point of view. There were large marches in West Pakistan and calls for military action against India. On the other hand Indian soldiers were guarding the border of East Pakistan. On November 23, 1971, President of Pakistan Yahya Khan asked Pakistanis to be ready for war. On December 3, 1971, Pakistan’s air force attacked India. Targeted many cities including Amritsar and Agra in India. With this the Indo-Pak war of 1971 started. The war ended on 16 December 1971 with the surrender of the Pakistan Army and the birth of Bangladesh.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj : Biography

Everyone knows about Shrimant Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, one of the brave sons of India. Many people call him Hindu Hriday Samrat, while some people call him Maratha pride, while he was a great hero of the Republic of India. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born on 19 February 1630 in a Maratha family. Some people place his birth in 1627. His full name was Shivaji Bhonsle.

 Shivaji was the son of father Shahaji and mother Jijabai. His place of birth is the fort of Shivneri near Pune. An attempt was made by Veer Pravar Shivaji Maharaj, the exclusive priest of independence, to establish a sovereign independent rule in the whole of India by making the nation independent from foreign and tyrannical state power. Similarly, he is acknowledged as a foremost heroic and immortal freedom fighter. Like Maharana Pratap, Veer Shivaji was a living symbol and symbol of nationalism. Come know about Shrimant Chhatrapati Veer Shivaji.

Shivaji was not anti-Muslim: Shivaji has been accused of being anti-Muslim, but this is not true because there were many Muslim heroes and fighters in his army, there were also people like many Muslim Sardars and Subedars. In fact, all of Shivaji’s struggle was against the bigotry and arrogance that rulers like Aurangzeb and the people who grew up under his umbrella had adopted.

In the summer of 1674, Shivaji laid the foundation of independent sovereignty by sitting on the throne with pomp. He freed the oppressed Hindu masses from fear. Although the Christian and Muslim rulers used to impose their opinion on the majority of the people through the use of force, they used to collect additional taxes, Whereas during the rule of Shivaji, the places of worship of these two sects were not only protected but also created a fear-free environment for the converted Muslims and Christians. Shivaji ruled for six years through his council of eight ministers. Many Muslims were also involved in his administrative service.

Formation of religious rites: His childhood was spent under the guidance of his mother Jijau. Mother Jijabai, despite having a religious nature, was a heroic woman in character and behavior. For this reason, he raised the child Shiva by listening and teaching bright stories of Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Indian brave souls. Under the tutelage of Dada Kondev, he was also made proficient in all kinds of topical warfare etc. Proper education was also provided about religion, culture and politics. In that era, Shivaji became a completely patriot, dutiful and diligent warrior by coming in contact with Param Sant Ramdev.

In childhood, he learned to win the fort by playing sports: In childhood, Shivaji used to collect children of his age and play the game of fighting and winning the fort as their leader. As soon as he came in youth, his game became real karma enemy and started winning their fort etc. by attacking the enemies. As soon as Shivaji established his authority over the forts like Purandar and Toran, his name and deeds spread throughout the South, this news reached Agra and Delhi like fire. The tyrannical type of Turks, Yavanas and all their assistant rulers started getting worried because of fear on hearing his name.

Wife and son: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was married on 14 May 1640 with Saibai Nimbalkar at Lal Mahal, Puna. His son’s name was Sambhaji. Sambhaji (May 14, 1657–died: March 11, 1689) was the eldest son and successor of Shivaji, who ruled from 1680 to 1689 AD. Shambhuji lacked the hard work and determination of his father. Sambhaji’s wife’s name was Yesubai. His son and successor was Rajaram.

Children’s litterateur: Sambhaji is considered to be the world’s first children’s litterateur. By the age of 14, Sambhaji was the world’s first child litterateur to compose texts like Budhbhushanam (Sanskrit), Nayikabheda, Satsataka, Nakhshikh (Hindi) etc. He dominated languages ​​like Marathi, Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit, English, Kannada etc. The speed with which he wielded the pen, he also wielded the sword. Shivaji had several wives and two sons; the last years of his life were spent in troubles due to the religious disobedience of his eldest son.

This son of his had also once joined the Mughals and was brought back with great difficulty. Anxiety about protecting the empire from enemies in the midst of domestic conflicts and the enmity of his ministers soon brought Shivaji to the brink of death. Shivaji died on 3 April in his capital, the hill fort Rajgarh, after a brief illness in 1680.

When enemy wanted to kill Shivaji by deceit: When Adilshah, the ruler of Bijapur, terrified of Shivaji’s growing prowess, could not arrest Shivaji, he arrested Shivaji’s father Shahaji. Shivaji became furious when he came to know. Taking the help of policy and courage, he raided and soon freed his father from this captivity.

Then the ruler of Bijapur sent his arrogant general Afzal Khan, ordering Shivaji to be caught alive or dead. He tried to kill Shivaji by making a false drama of brotherhood and reconciliation, taking Shivaji in the circle of his arms, but he himself was killed by being a victim of the treachery hidden in the hands of the wise Shivaji. Due to this, his armies fled from there after finding their commander dead.
