Indian National Movement

 

Indian National Movement 


The Indian National Movement was a well-organized mass movement
affected by both internal and external influences and concerned with the
interests of the Indian people. In 1885, the Indian National Congress was
founded as a result of it. The following is detailed.

 

It has been noted that a number of political, sociocultural, and
economic forces combined in India’s freedom wars to fuel the emergence of
nationalism.

 

• On 28
December 1885 Indian National Congress (INC) was founded on the
premises of Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit School at Bombay. It was presided over by
W.C Banerjee and attended by 72 delegates. A.O Hume played an instrumental role
in the foundation of INC with an aim to provide Safety Valve to the British
Government.

 

• A.O Hume served
as the first General Secretary of INC.

 

 • The real Aim of
Congress is to train the Indian youth in political agitation and to organize or
to create public opinion in the country. For this, they use the method of an
annual session where they discuss the problem and passed the resolution.

 

 • Indian nationalism’s initial or initial phase is also known as
its moderate phase (1885-1905). W.C. Banerjee, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, R.C.
Dutt, Ferozeshah Mehta, George Yule, and others were moderate leaders.

 

• Moderates embraced the PPP path—protest, prayer, and
petition—and have complete faith in the British government.

 

• After 1892, extremism in the congress started to emerge as a
result of dissatisfaction with the Moderates’ working practices Lala Lajpat
Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, and Aurobindo Ghosh were the
leaders of the extremists. They place a stronger focus on swadeshi,
self-reliance, and constructive labor than the PPP method.

 

• The Swadeshi and Boycott Resolution was enacted in 1905, the
same year that Lord Curzon announced the partition of Bengal for administrative
purposes.

 

• The first Independence Day celebration took place on January 26,
1930.

 

• The Dandi March served as the catalyst for the Civil
Disobedience Movement. Gandhi Ji and his 78 disciples marched from Sabarmati
Ashram to Dandi from March 12 to April 6, 1930, breaking the salt ban by
producing salt on April 6.

 

• The First Round Table Conference took place on November 12,
1930.

 

• The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed on March 5th, 1931.

 

• The trial of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev took place on
March 23, 1931.

 

 • The Karachi INC Session, presided over by Vallabh Bhai Patel,
took place on March 29, 1931. A resolution on economic policy and fundamental
rights was enacted for the first time during this session.

 

• Gandhi ji represented the Congress at the Second Round Table
Conference, which took place on September 7, 1931.

 

• The Communal or Ramsay Macdonald Award was announced on August
16, 1932.

 

• The Poona Pact was signed on September 26, 1932.

 

• The Third Round Table Conference took place in November 1932.

 

• The Government of India Act, which established the All India
Federation, Provincial Autonomy, and Diarchy, was approved in 1935.

 

Towards Quit India
Movement

 

Important Congress Sessions:

 

1936 – Lucknow (UP) – Presided by J.L Nehru

 

1937 – Faizpur (Maharashtra) – Presided by J.L Nehru (First
session held in the village)

 

1938 – Haripura (Gujarat) – Presided by S.C Bose

 

1939 – Tripuri (M.P) – Presided by S.C Bose

 

• The Second World War began in September 1939, and without
India’s agreement, it was proclaimed an ally.

 

• S.C. Bose created Forward Bloc in 1939. It belonged to the left.

 

• Viceroy Lord Linlithgow issued the August Offer on August 10,
1940, in an effort to win the support of Indians for the Second World War.

 

• On March 11, 1942, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced
the dispatch of a team, led by Sir Stafford Cripps, to establish a
constitutional solution and address Indian issues.

 

• Following the collapse of the Cripps Mission, Indian leaders
began the Quit India movement in 1942, and Gandhi Ji prepared the resolution.
Gandhi ji issued the command “Do or Die.”

 

• Captain Mohan Singh and Niranjan Gill established the Indian
National Army in Singapore in 1942. S. C. Bose assumed control of the
organization’s second headquarters in Singapore and Rangoon.

 

• S.C. Bose established the Azad Hind Government in Singapore on
October 21, 1943. A female regiment by the name of Rani Jhansi existed.

 

• The Second World War came to an end in 1945.

effort to establish a means to transfer authority. sometimes referred to as
Balkan Plan

 

 • The Independence of India Act, 1947, which granted India and
Pakistan the status of Dominion States, was passed on June 3.

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY

On December 22, India’s eminent mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan celebrates his birth anniversary. Mathematicians consider Ramanujan’s intellect to be on par with that of Euler and Jacobi in the 18th and 19th centuries. His work in number theory is well appreciated, and he produced significant breakthroughs in the partition function. Since 2012, India has celebrated National Mathematics Day on December 22nd each year, with several educational events held in schools and universities around the country. The inauguration of the Ramanujan Math Park in Kuppam, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, in 2017 added to the day’s prominence. Mathematics enthusiasts like Sri Ramanujan may be found all throughout the world, and some even help others improve their knowledge of the subject.

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS DAY

Srinivasa Ramanujan is the outstanding mathematician who inspired the creation of Mathematics Day in India, and whose works influenced many people throughout the country and around the world. Ramanujan was born in Erode, Tamil Nadu, in 1887 to an Iyengar Brahmin family. Despite his lack of formal schooling, he excelled at trigonometry at the age of 12 and discovered several theorems for himself.

Ramanujan became qualified for a scholarship to study at the Government Arts College, Kumbakonam, after finishing secondary school in 1904, but he was denied since he did not excel in other courses. Ramanujan ran away from home at the age of 14 and joined at Pachaiyappa’s College in Madras, where he also excelled in mathematics but struggled in other courses and was unable to graduate with a Fellow of Arts degree. Ramanujan conducted independent research in mathematics despite living in severe poverty.

The aspiring mathematician was soon discovered in Chennai’s mathematics circles. Ramaswamy Iyer, the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society, assisted him in obtaining a clerk position at the Madras Port Trust in 1912. Ramanujan subsequently began sending his work to British mathematicians, and in 1913, Cambridge-based GH Hardy invited him to London after being impressed by Ramanujan’s theorems.

Ramanujan arrived in Britain in 1914, where Hardy enrolled him at Trinity College, Cambridge. Ramanujan was well on his way to success after being elected to the London Mathematical Society in 1917, and he also became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918, making him one of the youngest to attain the prestigious post.

Ramanujan returned to India in 1919 because he couldn’t adjust to the British cuisine. His condition deteriorated further, and he died in 1920 at the age of 32. His talents in mathematics, however, are still highly appreciated around the world. Ramanujan left behind three notebooks with unpublished results that mathematicians continued to work on for years. So much so that in 2012, former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced December 22 — Ramanujan’s birthday — as National Mathematics Day, to be observed throughout the country.

Ramanujan number – 1729

The Ramanujan Number is another name for 1729. When Ramanujan, the brilliant Indian mathematician, was in England, he became very unwell. Prof. Hardy contacted Ramanujan in the hospital and told him that 1729 sounded like a boring number and that he hoped it didn’t turn out to be an unfavourable omen. However, Ramanujan stated that 1729 is a highly fascinating number since it is the smallest number that can be represented in the form of the sum of cubes of two numbers in two ways, i.e. 1729=1³+12³=9³+10³. Since then, the number 1729 has been dubbed Ramanujan’s number.


Land reforms in India

Land reforms in India:

To put it simply, Land reforms are the equitable land allocations with the intention of boosting productivity and reducing poverty. It entails the sale of land from a small number of landowners to a large number of people who lack land or own much too little.

Objectives of land reforms:

• Redistribution of land so that it is not controlled by a small number of individuals.

• A land ceiling that distributes surplus land to marginal and small farmers.

• A reduction in rural poverty.

• Elimination of middlemen

Tenancy reforms

• Increasing production in agriculture.

• The consolidation of land ownership and the avoidance of fragmentation of the land.

• Promoting cooperative agriculture.

• To promote economic parity and social equality.

• Tribal protection by preventing outsiders from claiming their ancestral lands.

• Land reforms were also implemented for industrial and commercial growth.

The elimination of intermediaries that were part of the various British administrations in India has mainly been accomplished. The outcomes for the other goals have been inconsistent and differ across states and extended periods. The implementation of land reforms differs from state to state because they fall under the State List. The largest and most effective changes occurred in Kerala and West Bengal, two communist strongholds. Due to land reforms, there were intercommunity conflicts in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar.

Since its independence, India has undergone four “experiments” to redistribute landholdings. As follows:

• Reforms that come from “above,” or via legislation.

• Top-down government reforms accompanied by peasant mobilisation, like in Kerala and West Bengal, where land was acquired and redistributed, as well as to better the conditions of peasants.

• The “land grab” movement as well as the Naxalite movement.

• Reforms that come from “bottom,” like as the Bhoodan and Gram Dan movements, which involved farmers marching in peace and making voluntary donations to landlords.

Zamindari Abolition Acts

When these laws first passed in different states, they were initially contested in court as being in violation of the Indian Constitution’s protection of property rights. As a result, the Parliament approved legislation that made landlordism illegal. Zamindari abolition laws had been adopted in various states by 1956. This led to the acquisition of ownership rights over 62 lakh acres of land nationwide by about 30 lakh tenants and sharecroppers.



Land Ceilings Act


The term “land ceiling” describes placing a limit on the amount of land that a family or individual may own. Any extra land is given to tenants, farmers, or agricultural workers who are landless.


Tenancy reforms

This emphasized three things:

• Rent control

• Security of tenure

• Giving tenants ownership rights



Outcomes of Land Reforms

• Elimination of intermediaries like landlords

Zamindars and Jagirdars, two strong classes, vanish from existence. This lessened the exploitation of the peasants because they now owned the land they farmed. The Zamindars, who used numerous strategies to get around the law, bitterly opposed this action. They used their relatives’ names when registering their own land. In order to prevent renters from acquiring incumbency rights, they routinely moved tenants among other land parcels.

• Land limit

A family or individual could only own so much land, but there was some room for equitable allocation of land. The land reforms would not have been at least partially effective if there had simply been landlord abolition and no land ceiling. Land ceiling prevented wealthy farmers or higher tenants from assuming the role of new avatar Zamindars.

• Possession of land

Land is a source of social stature in addition to economic wealth. Prior to the implementation of land reforms, it was not required to keep ownership documents. Additionally, it is required to record all tenancy agreements.

• Enhanced efficiency

Since tillers themselves became the landowners, more land was put under cultivation, which boosted production.

In the states of West Bengal and Kerala, land reforms were generally successful due to the left-wing administrations’ political commitment to effectively putting them into action. In these areas, both the ownership and patterns of landholding, as well as the situation of peasants, underwent a form of revolution. “Land to the tiller” was the rallying cry. Also in Jammu and Kashmir, efforts to redistribute land to labourers without access to it have had some success.

Drawbacks of land reforms

• There are still a lot of small and marginal farmers in India who cling to moneylenders and are perpetually in debt.

• Poverty persists in rural areas.

States have different land ceilings.

• The Land Ceiling Act exempted numerous plantations.

Huge landholdings are owned by a lot of persons under the moniker “benami.”

Agrarian reforms, which focus on ways to increase the productivity of land, particularly agricultural land, are another type of land reform. Included in this is the Green Revolution.

The Central Land Reforms Committee’s suggestions were put into practise in the late 1960s and early 1970s to close several loopholes in the land reforms.

• In accordance with the crop pattern, the ceiling was lowered. It was increased to 54 acres for less desirable dry ground.

• The five-person family was treated as a single unit for legal purposes.

• Priority was given to distributing land, especially to SC and ST populations and landless peasants.

Under the terms of the Land Acquisition Act of 1894, the government was in charge of acquiring land. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act of 2013 took the place of this outdated statute, which was insufficient to answer the concerns of farmers. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (Amendment) Bill of 2015, which the government introduced in 2015 together with a few other legal changes, became operative as an ordinance.


What Are the Elements of Design?

 What Are the Elements of Design?

Shape, color, space, form, line, value, and texture are only a few of the fundamental components of any visual design known as the elements of design. To produce an image that can elicit a variety of emotions, evoke a certain atmosphere, or attract the attention in a specific direction, graphic designers use design components. While the fundamental building blocks of any image are the design elements, designers also rely on the design principles, which are a set of guidelines for using the design elements in a way that results in compositions that are aesthetically attractive.

The Elements of Design

Whether you’re designing an interior, a logo, an advertisement, or a website, there are many graphic design components to take into account. The fundamental components of design are:
1. Color: Color can help your composition feel more moody. Humans experience colour when light waves strike an item and bounce back to the optic nerve in their eyes. Color is a tool used by designers and artists to convey and describe a subject. Designers employ colour to convey mood, light, dimension, and point of view. The colour wheel and the principles of colour theory—a system of rules for combining, altering, and mixing colors—are used by designers to construct colour schemes.
2. Line: A line is the path that connects two points in space. Lines, whether they be vertical, diagonal, or horizontal, can help draw the viewer’s attention to a particular area of your picture. Instead of only using straight lines, texture can also be produced by using other sorts of lines, such as curved or patterned lines.
3. Value: A color’s value in design refers to how light or dark it is. A gradient, which shows a sequence of variations on one hue sorted from lightest to darkest, is a common way to depict a color’s values. The different colour values can be used by artists to give their pieces the appearance of heft and volume.
4. Using space effectively can help others see your design the way you intended. The area between or surrounding an image’s focal point is known as white space or negative space. The area that your subject matter occupies in your composition is known as positive space. Your design’s spacing is crucial since a cluttered layout can exhaust the viewer’s eye.
5. Shape: A shape is, in its simplest form, a two-dimensional region that is encircled by an outline. To make a shape appear three-dimensional, graphic artists can also employ other aspects like line, colour, value, and shadow. There are three different kinds of shapes: organic shapes that are found in nature, geometric shapes that are angular and mathematically consistent, and abstract shapes that roughly depict elements of nature.
6. Form: A shape or physical arrangement’s form is how it takes up space. Designers generate the appearance of form on a flat surface by utilising light, shadow, the look of an object’s curves, negative space, and the items around it instead of producing form through three-dimensional physical shape around the subject matter. 
7. Texture is one of the design components that is used to convey how an object feels or looks. Whether it is bumpy, velvety, or ribbed, tactile texture is a feeling of touch. Contrarily, visual texture refers to the imagined texture of the illustration, which can add visual interest and enhance the sensory experience.

Why is Mental Health Important?

 Why is Mental Health Important?


Since it affects every aspect of our life, mental health is more crucial than ever. Good mental health has an impact on everything we do think, and say.
Reasons to care for mental health
Stabilizing constructive habits, emotions, and thoughts requires maintaining good mental health and managing any mental health disorders. Focusing on mental health care can boost productivity, improve our self-perception, and strengthen bonds with others.
Taking care of our mental health not only makes it easier for us to operate on a daily basis, but it can also help us combat or at least regulate some physical health issues that are closely related to mental health issues. For instance, since stress and heart disease are linked, reducing stress may benefit heart disease.

Other benefits of taking care of our mental health can include:


• Increasing our psyche
• Lessening our stress
• Fostering a greater sense of inner calm
• Better mental clarity
• enhancing our connections
• Boosting our sense of self
Beyond what has already been mentioned, having a healthy mind can have a big impact on our psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing. It has a direct impact on how we feel and behave every day. When we have to make difficult decisions, handle stress, and interact with others in our surroundings, our mental health plays a significant role.
However, mental health isn’t something we can just handle once and then move on from. At every stage of our lives, it is crucial. We must be aware of and treat mental health carefully at all stages of life, from childhood to adulthood.

Having a solid foundation when it comes to mental health means you can:


• Maintain successful, wholesome relationships
• Manage life’s daily stress
• Create a good sense of who you are.
• Continue to be inspired, active, and healthy.
• Increase your output at work and school.
• Engage in meaningful interactions and give back to the neighbourhood
• Recognize your potential and strive to fulfil it.\

Why Should We Spread Mental Health Awareness?


We may attempt to reduce stigma surrounding mental health concerns in our culture by putting in a concentrated effort to raise awareness of them.
We can find a solution by having those difficult conversations and admitting there is a problem. We can start doing away with the stigma and fear that are frequently connected to discussions about mental health. By doing this, you can encourage people to ask for assistance when they do.
Asking for assistance demonstrates strength. Together, we can provide the groundwork for a culture that values and recognises the significance of healthy mental health.
Focusing on mental health awareness can also increase awareness of some illnesses’ signs and symptoms. Early intervention predicts how well various disorders may respond to mental health treatment. The greater the chance that someone will be able to manage their disease and improve their mental health, the earlier they will be diagnosed and start receiving treatment.

Reasons why Men's Day should be celebrated

International Men’s Day:

Every year, guys all throughout the world have a special meaning for November 19. Why? mainly since today is designated as International Men’s Day. It is a time when men’s health, bettering gender relations, and empowering males need to receive special attention.
Women are widely considered to play a crucial role in all aspects of daily life. They sustain the institution of marriage, contribute positively to their community and society, and actively participate in childbirth and childrearing while continuously supporting the men.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that males contribute just as significantly as women, without diminishing the great contribution that women make. That is why it is necessary to have a day just for guys. Men’s Day should receive more recognition even though it doesn’t currently.

Reasons why International Men’s Day should be celebrated:

• When children are young, they often look up to someone as their role model. Men can be positive role models in this regard. Nowadays, the majority of kids grow up idolizing athletes, entertainers, or actors—especially those who portray superheroes. There is nothing wrong with doing this, but it is far preferable to have a regular male as a role model, such as a father who lives a normal, respectable life and is a good person. Children will understand that being an example to others does not require being well-known or popular on social media in this way. And a father’s engagement can benefit his young children by making them feel important. Never forget that you are a hero if you are sincere, diligent, and disciplined.
• A day to hon0r men’s positive contributions: Today, women and men coexist together and occasionally even outperform one other. This is essential for a more equitable society, but it’s also critical to recognize men’s accomplishments. Men, too, contribute positively and significantly to society, the family, marriage, and raising children in their own unique ways. Therefore, this merits celebration.

Men’s issues should be talked about:

Boys are typically brought up with the stereotyped idea that men should be tough and never exhibit any signs of weakness. This is entirely incorrect. Men can experience issues on the personal and professional fronts because they are also just like everyone else. Furthermore, discussing and resolving such concerns in an open manner is healthier than to stay quiet.
• It emphasizes the value of a father: Nowadays, one or both parents struggle to juggle work and family responsibilities due to our increasingly hectic lives. The mother always decides to take a break and watch the kids. What about the father, though? The father frequently spends so little time with his family because he is so busy at work. A day dedicated to men is a wonderful way to inspire fathers to be there for their kids and take an active part in their lives.
• Gender equality: What does that mean? In broad terms, it refers to a situation in which men and women have an equal voice and access to opportunities in both personal and professional spheres. Boys are frequently taught at a young age that their only options are to endure hardships in silence and to take on the responsibility of being the family’s primary breadwinner or provider. Men are subjected to unnecessary pressure from a young age because of this, and some of them break down.
• The day set aside to raise awareness of discrimination: It is true! Men experience discrimination in a variety of ways as well. Men are actually required to join the military and serve their country in numerous nations. Additionally, there exist laws that favour women in matters of child custody and alimony. Men are also expected to be powerful, macho, and to refrain from complaining about prejudice. Perhaps it’s time to examine these delicate problems more closely.
• Men and women work in tandem to maintain balance: A guy cannot provide for his child in the same way that a woman can. The same is true for females. Men are typically perceived as demanding and playful with their children, in contrast to the stereotype of women as loving, kind, sensitive, and nurturing caregivers. In actuality, the two parents complement one another and both provide something unique to parenting. Additionally, they must cooperate and share the same commitment in parenting their kids. Children develop emotionally and physically healthier and happier throughout that time.
Men are, in the end, a necessary and equal component of society. They play many roles, such as father, son, brother, uncle, and grandfather, much like women. Shouldn’t we honour guys for who they are, what they have accomplished, and how they assist the women in their lives? What better way to accomplish that than by setting aside a day only for males!

A message against double standard mindset of society.

Rape is the pleasure for the people who do it and a talk of gossip for the people of society or for us.

Everyday and every time it is happening around us but only few times media is telecasting it just for the sake of TRP and they are organizing the debate for this topic but not the solution or remedy for particular problem.

Now what is happening with the people who are executing it?

The rich people get bail and repeatedly do it again because now there fear of law has gone. Whereas the poor people do not get bail but after sometime they also get out. 

Nowadays it is getting so much common among teenager also, as in the name of the “swag”. 

But the thing that we are missing is such that not only women’s are getting affected but also some boys or mans also get raped but no one is paying attention to it as it is not big matter for social media Or news agency. 

What should govt do? 

According to me the government should start action-reaction as rape is not at all less than murder. Murder is something in which people die physically with little pain but in rape, a girl or boy die mentally and throughout the life she/he had to suffer from a trauma. 

What does action-reaction mean? 

It means that if a men has raped or molested a women than that men should also get punished by a ‘rod’ and should be reminded throughout their life. So such that they can also feel the pain of a women and would be a learning for others.

NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION DAY

Every year on December 14, India honors National Energy Conservation Day. The day is conducted by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), which is part of the Ministry of Power, with the goal of highlighting India’s outstanding achievements in cost-effective energy production and resource conservation. On this day, future plans are also considered, with the primary goal of mitigating climate change being holistic development. Follow top energy journalists and their work to become more involved in spreading awareness about climate change and energy conservation.


HISTORY OF NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION DAY

The goal of National Energy Conservation Day is to raise public awareness about the necessity of energy conservation in India. People are also kept up to date on new courses of action and plans as they are developed. There is information provided on reducing energy waste and how the general people can help conserve resources. Essentially, the goal of the day is to urge people to utilize energy more efficiently and to limit their usage of it.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency – BEE, established under the Union Ministry of Power, has led the yearly festivities of National Energy Conservation Day on December 14 since 1991. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency, a constitutional entity within the Government of India, assists in the creation and execution of plans and policies to decrease excessive energy usage. In 2001, the committee also passed ‘The Energy Conservation Act.’

As part of its awareness program, prizes are given out on this day every year in 56 different sectors of the country to celebrate achievements in energy saving. The National Energy Conservation Awards Program recognizes industries, organizations, and businesses ranging from power plants to hotels to retail malls. The BEE also awards prizes to winners of the National Painting Competition with the theme of energy conservation.

India’s development sectors are thriving, which is increasing the need for energy. India’s resource requirements are predicted to more than treble by 2030. The BEE strategizes and creates policies to assist reduce this demand by promoting the adoption of energy-efficient measures.

WHY NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION DAY IS IMPORTANT.

1. Everyone bears some level of responsibility.

National Energy Conservation Day promotes the importance of energy conservation for all people, whether they are children or the elderly.

2. India has a significant role to play.

With a population of over 1.3 billion people, India is a massive country. Because they house such a big proportion of the world’s population, they bear a disproportionate share of the blame for climate change.

3. The cascading effect

Even shutting off the water while brushing your teeth is beneficial! Good practices promoted through conferences, talks, and workshops make a real effect.

Objectives of National Energy Conservation Day

Every year, National Energy Conservation Day is celebrated with a certain subject of the year while keeping some goals and objectives in mind to make it more successful all throughout the country among people. Among the major objectives are:

1) It is observed to convey to people the need of conserving energy in all aspects of life.

2) Promoting the process of energy conservation throughout the country by organizing a variety of activities such as seminars, conferences, debates, workshops, and contests.

3) Encourage people to consume less energy by ignoring excessive and inefficient uses.

4) Encourage individuals to use energy in order to reduce energy consumption and avoid energy waste.

 

INDIAN AIR FORCE DAY 2022

The Indian Air Force was once known as the Royal Indian Air Force. Despite the fact that this title was retained till the country’s independence. Following independence, the term “royal” was discarded.

Indian Air Force Day is observed in the country today, October 8, 2022. This year marks India’s 90th Air Force Day (Indian Air Force Day 2021). Chandigarh will this time mark the 1932 founding of the Indian Air Force (IAF). On this occasion, please share some fascinating facts and history about this day.

 

Air Force Day is held annually on October 8. The Indian Air Force has made tremendous preparations for this day when it will display its power. An air show is being held in Chandigarh in honor of Air Force Day.

This air show will feature 83 planes. The air show will feature 44 fighter aircraft, seven transport aircraft, twenty helicopters, and seven antique aircraft. Simultaneously, 9 planes would be held on standby. This time, the air show will be distinguished by the presence of new light combat helicopters.

Each army in the nation has a unique motto. The motto of the Indian Air Force is “Nabhah Spriushm Deeptam.” The motto of the Indian Air Force is an excerpt from Lord Krishna’s speech to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, which is included in the Gita’s eleventh chapter. This credo guides the Indian Air Force’s activities.

Interesting facts about the Indian Air Force 

1. The Indian Air Force is the world’s fourth largest air force. Asia’s biggest air base is the Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

World population hits 8 billion.

The world population surged past 8 billion people on Tuesday, the United Nations said, warning that more hardship is in store for regions already facing resource scarcity due to climate change.

Whether its food or water, batteries or gasoline, there will be less to go around as the global population adds another 2.4 billion people by the 2080s, according to U.N. projections.

Resource pressure will be especially daunting in African nations, where populations are expected to boom, experts say. These are also among the countries most vulnerable to climate impacts, and most in need of climate finance.

In sub-Saharan Africa, where some 738 million people already live without adequate food supplies, the population is projected to jump by 95% by mid-century, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace. The think tank warned in an October report that much of sub-Saharan Africa will be unsustainable by mid-century.

Globally, the 8 billion population milestone represents 1 billion people added to the planet in just the last 11 years.

Reaching 8 billion people is“a sign of human success, but it’s also a great risk for our future,” said John Wilmoth, director of the U.N.’s population division.

Middle-income countries, mostly in Asia, accounted for most of that growth, gaining some 700 million people since 2011. India added about 180 million people, and is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation next year.

However, births have been steadily declining in the United States, Europe, and Japan. China, too, has struggled with the legacy of its One Child Policy program and last year urged families to have a second and even third child as it also limited access to non-medical abortions.

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY

Every year on December 10, International Animal Rights Day, we honor the rights of our four-legged friends. The event is celebrated alongside Human Rights Day, as it should be, because animals have the right to be treated with respect, and brutality against them must end just as much as it does against humans.

HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY

Man has been killing and mistreating animals for selfish gain for hundreds of years. The rationale that it is done out of need has been pushed, whether it is in the exploitation of meat or animal fur for fashion and art.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in response to Nazi Germany’s torturing of people in concentration camps during World War II. Following this, groups, clubs, and individuals from all over the world began asking that this proclamation be extended to the animal realm and that December 10 be designated as a day to advocate for animal rights. The term “speciesism” was coined in 1970, 22 years after the United Nations passed its historic proclamation, to explore and stimulate dialogue on the discrimination against sentient beings based on their species.

The notion that animals are inferior and exist solely to meet the needs and desires of people is an illogical prejudice towards them. Animals suffer just as much, if not more than some sectors of the human race as a result of sexism and racism because they cannot protect themselves.

Even though this word was coined, it wasn’t until 1998 that an official statement on animal rights was issued. Uncaged, an animal advocacy organization, established International Animal Rights Day to bring attention to all forms of animal violence. Because animals cannot protest, vote, or campaign for their protection, the founders of this day argued that it is the responsibility of people to do so for them. The date of December 10 was purposefully chosen so that International Animal Rights Day coincides with Human Rights Day. Since then, events, demonstrations, and fundraisers have been conducted around the world to expose the realities of animal abuse and exploitation, which have often been reported by traditional media.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY 

Most people recognize that animals may experience pain. Many people believe that animals can experience and perceive emotions. For these reasons, it is critical to recognize that animals, like humans, have rights. Activists think that humans should do all possible to protect animal rights, including:


1) Instead of thinking of animals as human property, consider their companion animals rather than pets.

2) Avoid all animal products, including meat, leather, milk, wool, and silk.

3) Stop using animals in experiments.

4) Stop utilizing animals for entertainment and sporting events like rodeo, greyhound racing, and horseracing, employing them in movies and circuses, and displaying marine animals.

5) Humans should not hunt, fish, or wear fur, according to animal rights campaigners.

HOW TO OBSERVE ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY 

This day is marked by candlelight vigils held by animal lovers all across the world. This is to highlight the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights. According to this declaration, animal rights are a logical continuation of basic human rights. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) encourages people to observe this day by not eating animals. They also promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle. According to PETA, this will save 100 animals every year. 

COST OF ORGANS

Organ donation is the process by which a person willingly donates a body organ to another person. It is also the process of allowing the removal of one’s organ for transplantation into another person. Furthermore, organ donation can legally occur with the donor’s consent while he is still alive. Organ donation can also take place with the consent of a deceased person’s next of kin. Because of advances in medical science, there has been a significant increase in organ donations. First and foremost, India uses an opt-in system for organ donation. Furthermore, anyone wishing to donate an organ must complete a mandatory form. Notably, this form is available on the website of the Government of India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Furthermore, the Transplantation of Human Organs Act of 1994 governs organ donation in India.

The demand for organ donation in the United States is increasing rapidly. Furthermore, the number of organ donors in the United States has increased significantly. Most importantly, in the United States, organ donation is only permitted with the consent of the donor or their family. Nonetheless, many organisations are advocating for opt-out organ donation. Organ donation is regulated by the member states within the European Union. Furthermore, many European countries have some kind of opt-out system in place. Furthermore, Austria, Spain, and Belgium have the most prominent opt-out systems. In England, no consent is assumed, and organ donation is entirely voluntary.

Argentina has a high level of awareness regarding organ donation. Most notably, Argentina’s Congress passed an opt-out organ donation policy. Furthermore, unless they or their family express a preference, everyone over the age of 18 will be a donor. However, Congress passed another law in 2018. The family requirement was eliminated by the new law. To begin with, organ donation is extremely beneficial to the grieving process. Furthermore, many donor families find solace and comfort in organ donation. This is because they recognise that their loved one has helped save the lives of others. Most importantly, a single donor can help save up to eight lives.

Many people’s lives can be improved by organ donation. A blind person may be able to see again after receiving an eye transplant. Similarly, donating organs could mean relieving others’ depression and pain. Most importantly, organ donation could eliminate the need for costly routine treatments.

Organ donation is extremely beneficial to medical research. Donated organs are an excellent resource for scientific research and experimentation. Furthermore, many medical students will benefit greatly from these organs. Most importantly, beneficial medical discoveries may result from organ donation. Donations of organs would also help the field of biotechnology.

To summarise, organ donation is a noble act. Furthermore, it demonstrates an individual’s contribution even after death. Most importantly, organ donation has the potential to save many lives. People must be made acutely aware of the importance of organ donation.

BROADENING OF LINE BETWEEN RICH AND POOR

The disparity between the rich and the poor is a major issue in India. It has been on the main agenda of most of the country’s major political parties, and it is still on the agenda, but there has not been much progress in this regard, even though the government and some NGOs are actively participating in activities that are very beneficial to the poor people’s status. In economic terms, the poor have less purchasing power, whereas the rich have more purchasing power. Poverty is one of the major impediments to the Indian economy. Poor people mostly live in villages and cities in search of work.

The government has made numerous attempts to close this gap, including plans that were part of five-year plans and excellent concepts from highly educated individuals, but due to corruption, they were not implemented as effectively as they could have been, and as a result, it is taking so long. Economic inequity: Because they cannot afford higher education, people in this class rely on their physical strength to earn a living, and they typically work in factories or other organisations. Their earnings and purchasing power are extremely low, and they are true victims of inflation. They become ill due to a lack of education and awareness about these issues, either because they truly avoid the health aspects of life or because they cannot afford the good stuff and quality foods. Only money is not the problem even though the Indian government is spending so much money on the poor’s and there are schemes like the Employment guarantee scheme under which they get a guarantee of having 100 days of work with the best wages available and rice and other food commodities are available in very low cost for people who comes in below poverty line. So money is not the problem and even policies which provide money will not be sufficient to solve this problem permanently. What is missing is motivation people in the low class are not motivated they are not able to maintain the label of motivation because they don’t have a clear goal defined for their goal there thinking is biased by their financial position.
