Essay on Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti

Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti is observed to commemorate the birth and supreme sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of the Sikh tradition. His life and teachings represent an extraordinary blend of spiritual depth, moral courage, and unwavering commitment to humanity. Known as Hind-di-Chadar, or the “Shield of India,” Guru Tegh Bahadur’s legacy stands as a timeless reminder of the protection of religious freedom, human dignity, and the right to conscience.

Born as Tyag Mal in 1621 in Amritsar, Guru Tegh Bahadur was the youngest son of Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru. From an early age, he was immersed in Sikh values of selfless service, bravery, and spiritual discipline. His valor earned him the title “Tegh Bahadur,” meaning “Brave of the Sword,” after his courageous participation in the Battle of Kartarpur. Yet, alongside his martial training, he developed deep spiritual insight. His hymns—115 of which are included in the Guru Granth Sahib—reflect themes of detachment, compassion, truth, and the constant remembrance of the Divine.

After Guru Har Krishan’s passing, Tegh Bahadur was recognized as the ninth Guru in 1664. He lived an austere and humble life despite holding a revered spiritual position. During his extensive journeys across northern and eastern India, the Guru spread the message of equality, peace, and service. He established centers of faith, initiated community kitchens, dug wells for the poor, and provided support to people across caste, class, and regional boundaries. The founding of Anandpur Sahib, which later became an important center of Sikh philosophy and resistance, was among his major contributions.

The most defining moment in Guru Tegh Bahadur’s life—and the event that makes his Jayanti so significant—was his courageous defence of religious freedom. In 1675, a group of Kashmiri Pandits approached him in Anandpur seeking protection from forced conversions under Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Guru Tegh Bahadur decided to stand as their protector, not to defend any single faith, but to uphold the universal right of every individual to practice their religion freely. For this principle, he presented himself before the Mughal court, where he was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. When he refused to convert or perform miracles to prove his spiritual authority, he was publicly executed in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk.

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom is unparalleled in world history: a saint-philosopher who gave his life not for his own community, but to safeguard the freedom of others. His sacrifice embodies the highest ideals of humanity—courage in the face of oppression, unwavering commitment to truth, and the defence of justice for all.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti is therefore not merely a remembrance of his birth; it is a celebration of his moral vision. The day inspires people of all communities to uphold values of harmony, tolerance, and compassion. Gurudwaras across India and the world hold kirtan, community service, and special prayers, reminding devotees of the Guru’s timeless message: that spiritual strength must always be matched by social responsibility.

In today’s world, where societies continue to grapple with intolerance, identity conflicts, and suppression of rights, Guru Tegh Bahadur’s teachings offer a powerful guide. His life shows that the greatest service to humanity lies in standing fearlessly for truth and protecting the dignity of all people, regardless of their faith or background.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti thus remains a day of profound significance—honoring a spiritual leader, a warrior for justice, and a martyr whose sacrifice continues to inspire generations. His legacy calls upon us to cultivate courage, uphold righteousness, and work toward a world grounded in freedom and compassion. It is celebrated on 24th November every year in India.

TikTok Downloader Guide Without Watermark Using sssTik Free Tool

Need to save your favorite clips fast? Many people want to download videos from TikTok but struggle with quality, watermarks, or slow tools. You’re not alone. The good news: sssTik solves this in seconds.

This guide shows you exactly how to grab videos without watermarks, compare tools, and avoid common mistakes. Let’s get started.

Why sssTik Beats Other TikTok Downloader Options

When comparing tools, speed and quality matter most. sssTik stands out because it delivers HD and Full HD downloads without forcing you to create an account.

SaveFrom often struggles with slower processing times. Snaptik sometimes fails on newer video formats. TikTokio can lag during peak hours. SaveTT requires extra steps that waste your time.

None of these competitors force account creation, and neither does sssTik. But sssTik processes requests faster, handles MP4 and MP3 formats smoothly, and gives you watermark-free results when available from the source.

Here’s the key difference: sssTik doesn’t strip watermarks artificially. It accesses the original upload version that TikTok stores without branding. If the creator posted a watermark-free version, you get it. Simple as that.

How to Use sssTik in Three Quick Steps

Open TikTok and find the video you want. Tap the Share button and select Copy Link. Your device saves the URL automatically.

Visit sssTik on your browser. Paste the link into the input box at the top. Hit the Download button and wait two seconds.

Choose your preferred quality: 720p, 1080p, or even 4K if the original supports it. Tap Save, and the file lands on your device. Done.

For audio extraction, select MP3, M4A, or WAV format before downloading. The process takes the same amount of time.

Key Features That Make sssTik Reliable

Unlimited downloads with no daily caps. Process as many videos as you need without hitting a wall or paying fees.

Multi-format support includes MP4 for video and MP3 for audio. M4A and WAV options give you flexibility for different uses.

No software installation required. Everything runs in your browser, keeping your device storage free and your privacy intact.

Cross-device compatibility means you can download video tiktok tanpa watermark from phones, tablets, or desktops. Same smooth experience everywhere.

Understanding Formats and Quality Options

Most videos are downloaded in MP4 format at resolutions matching the original: 720p, 1080p, or 4K. Higher quality means larger file sizes but sharper playback.

Audio downloads convert to MP3 by default at 128 or 256 kbps. M4A offers better compression for Apple devices. WAV provides lossless quality for editing projects.

Always choose the highest quality your storage allows. You can compress later if needed, but you can’t add detail to a low-res file.

Watermark Removal and Content Availability

TikTok stores two versions of many uploads: one with a watermark for sharing, one without for creator archives. sssTik retrieves the clean version when it exists on TikTok’s servers.

If the creator disabled download options or deleted the video, sssTik cannot access it. Availability depends entirely on the original poster’s settings and TikTok’s policies.

Private accounts and region-restricted content remain inaccessible. Respect these boundaries and download only public, available material.

Quick Fixes for Common Download Issues

Video won’t download? Clear your browser cache and try again. Old cookies sometimes block new requests.

Getting an error message? Check if the video link is complete. Partial URLs fail every time.

Download stalls halfway? Switch to a stable internet connection. Mobile data hiccups interrupt transfers more often than WiFi drops.

Other Social Media Downloads

Need content from other platforms? sssTik also supports X video downloads and Facebook downloader media saving. Same easy process: copy link, paste, download.

Legal Use and Privacy Protection

Download only videos you own or have explicit permission to use. Respect creator rights and follow the platform’s terms of service.

sssTik doesn’t store your links, download history, or personal data. Everything processes instantly and disappears from servers after transfer.

Use downloaded content responsibly. Commercial use without permission violates copyright laws in most regions. When in doubt, ask the creator first.

Self-shocks turn crystal to glass at ultralow power density

Researchers have shown that utilizing shallow power, a crystalline material called indium selenide can “shock” itself to a glassy phase. This transformation lies at the heart of memory storage in devices like CDs and computer RAMs. It uses a billion times less electricity than the traditional melt-quench process for converting crystal to glass, and the discovery might revolutionise data storage in gadgets ranging from cell phones to computers. 

Glasses function similarly to solids but lack the regular periodic arrangement of atoms. To avoid the glass from getting too organized, a crystal is liquefied (melted) and then rapidly chilled (quenched) during the manufacturing process. This melt-quench technique is also employed in CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, where laser pulses are used to rapidly heat and quench a crystalline material to the glassy phase in order to write data; reversing the process erases data. Computers use similar materials known as phase-change RAMs, in which information is stored depending on the high versus low resistance provided by the glassy and crystalline phases.

The difficulty is that these devices consume more power, particularly during the writing process. The crystals must be heated to temperatures exceeding 800oC and then rapidly cooled. If it is possible to convert the crystal directly to glass without using the intermediate liquid phase, the amount of power required for memory storage can be greatly reduced. 

 A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science (Penn Engineering), Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, USA discovered that when electric current was passed through wires made of indium selenide, a 2D ferroelectric material, long stretches of the material transformed into glass. These breakthrough findings were published in the journal Nature. The research was supported by ANRF (erstwhile SERB) established through an Act of Parliament: ANRF, Act 2023.

The scientists unearthed that when a continuous current is passed parallel to the material’s 2D layers, they slide against each other in various directions. This results in the formation of many domains – tiny pockets with a specific dipole moment enclosed by defective regions that separate the domains. When multiple defects intersect in a small nanoscopic region, like too many holes punched in a wall, the structural integrity of the crystal collapses to form glass locally. 

These domain boundaries are like tectonic plates. They move with the electric field, and when they collide against each other, mechanical (and electrical) shocks are generated akin to an earthquake. This earthquake triggers an avalanche effect, causing disturbances far away from the epicentre, creating more domain boundaries and resulting glassy regions, which in turn spawns more earthquakes. The avalanche stops when the entire material turns into glass (long-range amorphisation). 

Prof. Nukala points out that multiple unique properties of indium selenide – its 2D structure, ferro electricity and piezoelectricity – all come together to allow this ultralow energy pathway for amorphisation through shocks. He further emphasized that the current findings will unlock a wider range of phase-change memory (PCM) applications.

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh has launched Grievance Redressal Assessment and Index (GRAI) 2023 in the presence of Shri V. Srinivas, Secretary, Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Govt. of India.

Grievance Redressal Assessment and Index (GRAI) was conceptualized and designed by the DARPG, Govt. of India based on the recommendation of Parliamentary Standing Committee of Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions with an objective to present organigation-wise comparative picture and provide valuable insights about strengths and areas of improvement regarding grievance redressal mechanism. The first edition of GRAI 2022 was released on 21 June 2023.

Eighty-nine Central Ministries and Departments were assessed and ranked based on a comprehensive index in the dimensions of (1) Efficiency, (2) Feedback, (3) Domain and (4) Organisational Commitment and corresponding 11 indicators. To compute the index, data between January and December 2023was used from the Centralised Public Grievance Redressal and Management System (CPGRAMS).

As part of GRAI, Ministries and Departments are grouped in three groups based on the number of grievances registered in calendar year 2023 at CPGRAMS viz.

GroupsRegistered Grievance RangeNo. of Ministries/Departments
Aregistered grievances > 10,00028

In the GRAI 2023report released by DARPG, detailed Root-Cause Analysis has been included with specific inputs on areas of further improvement. This report presents a two-dimensional (vertical and horizontal) analysis of the root causes of effective redressal of grievances of each Ministries and Departments in an easily discernible colour coded analysis. The report also presents brief description of technical partners DARPG has engaged to facilitate the Ministries and Departments to optimally utilize CPGRAMS as a means of effective grievance redressal media.

Over the years, CPGRAMS has become a key tool for enhancing government accountability and transparency by enabling citizens to file and track grievances online. The Commonwealth Secretariat has recognised CPGRAMSas a best practice in Commonwealth Secretaries of Public Service / Secretaries to Cabinet meeting in April 2024.

The GRAI 2023 report presents a clear roadmap with an advisory for the Ministries and Departments to leverage CPGRAMS and its features like IGMS 2.0, TreeDashboard, etc., to enhance grievance redressal. The roadmap for improvement emphasizes integrating advanced technologies like AI and ML for data analysis, predictive analytics and preventive measures while revising ATR formats for better reporting. Capacity building for GROs, enhancing accountability through audits and extending CPGRAMS integration to the third-tier of government are key recommendations.
