In the grand design of the universe, Earth stands as a unique masterpiece, teeming with life in its most intricate forms. This planet was designed with an ethos of interdependence and coexistence, offering humanity a bountiful and harmonious environment to thrive in. This exquisite ecosystem was intended to be a perpetual gift, contingent on humanity's respect for Nature's balance. Regrettably, humanity's quest for dominance has disrupted this delicate equilibrium. Motivated by greed and self-interest, humans have altered their surroundings, triggering rapid environmental changes that have propelled us towards a global crisis. In the creation of the bees, a perfect companion was made in flowers, resulting in the sweet nectar we cherish. Similarly, the survival of plants is deeply interconnected with insects, birds, and animals. All these life forms, thriving under the sun, benefit from a carefully orchestrated cycle of seasons and the intricate process of regeneration. The ...

Geromic George, IAS, the DC of Thiruvananthapuram, had a toenail infection. He called the District Medical Officer and asked for treatment at his residence. An assistant surgeon from the General Hospital left his 200+ OPD and went to attend to the DC's 'emergency,' where he had to wait for half an hour before he could attend to the honorable DC, as the latter was busy. Do not miss the trailing comments on this incisive tweet....to feel the pulse of the people

Lalit Shastri Constitution of India, at the time of adoption in 1950, laid down the fundamental principles of equality, non-discrimination, and affirmative action in Articles 15 and 16, which allowed the state to make special provisions for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes, including Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). However, the detailed mechanisms for reservation and quotas, as well as provisions for economically weaker sections, were added through subsequent amendments, reflecting the evolving needs and challenges of Indian society. So, while the foundational principles were present in the original Constitution, the specific modalities and extents of reservation were developed over time through legislative and judicial processes. Constitutional Amendments: Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1951: Added Article 15(4) and Article 16(4) to enable the state to make special provisions for the advancement of socially and educationally backward...

It's not necessary to be ruined only by alcohol or gambling! You could also ruin yourself by voting for Congress in 2024! Crazy is not the one who sees ghosts and demons! Crazy is the one who sees the future of the country in Rahul Gandhi! Your one wrong vote can bring terrorists to your doorstep! And one right vote can handle them at the border! Your life, your decision! The father of Babar was from Uzbekistan, and his mother from Mongolia, yet he died in Afghanistan, and his tomb is in Kabul, but they want a Babri Mosque in Ayodhya? The interesting thing is that even Congress supports it! There was a time when the people protested, and the leaders enjoyed at home! But today Modi has created such a situation that corrupt leaders are protesting, and the people are sitting quietly at home enjoying! This is called good times! Foreign leaders are crazy about Modi, and Indian leaders are crazy because of Modi! Any doubts? Not only Fevicol sticks, but also Modi's fear! Giving the wa...

The forests of Vindhyachal and Satpura in Central India are full of rock shelters and prehistoric paintings dating back about 10,000 years. The forests of Sehore and Raisen districts in the central Indian State of Madhya Pradesh, are rich in such rock shelters and prehistoric rock paintings.  These are prehistoric rock paintings located in Khodra, a village of Gond tribe, 1 km away from Bhopal in Goharganj tehsil of Raisen district.  Neither any forest official nor any archaeologist has ever visited this site. The villagers have tried to worship here by applying vermillion and tilak.  After developing language in its primitive form, the prehistoric man must have learned the art of painting on these rocks. If you zoom in on the pictures of the tiger in the above photo, a rock painting - that of a tiger- will also be visible in the background. Text and photo credit - Facebook post of Sudesh Waghmare

  Lalit Shastri   Before the General Elections to the Lok Sabha were announced in 1999, the Gujarat police had recovered a huge cache of arms, including AK-47 and AK-56 riffles, bullets, and hand grenades from a well near the residence of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in village Jhiranya near Mahidpur on the Ujjain-Nagda Road in Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh. Launching the 1999 election campaign in Madhya Pradesh, where the Congress party was in power and Digvijay Singh was the Chief Minister, the then national President of the BJP, Kushabhau Thakre, had said at a press conference at the State BJP headquarters in Bhopal that Madhya Pradesh had become a haven for arms smuggling. He had even stated categorically that arms were being supplied to the terrorists in Kashmir from this State. A couple of days after the BJP President had addressed media-persons in the State capital, the then Home Minister L K Advani had addressed another press conference at the VIP Rest House at Lalghati in B...

Lalit Shastri Contrary to what Shashi Tharoor has said in this video, Nehru did not create ISRO....it was Vikram Sarabhai who should get the credit for giving us the concept or the notional framework of ISRO or the Indian Space Research Organisation. Actually, the mother organisation and front runner of India's space programme is Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, which was set up by the Sarabhai Trust. Much of the original recruitment was done under it. There is strangely no government of India order to create ISRO. Also till date, there is neither any government order for the appointment of anyone as Chairman ISRO nor any rule or notification stating that the Secretary Department of Space will be ex-officio Chairman of ISRO. There is only a Space Comission and a Department of Space. In fact, till now there is no organisation created by the Central Government called ISRO. After watching this video, I strongly felt the need to call the bluff as such leaders are adept in adopt...
