Though India is strategically located between China and Pakistan, the Himalayas were considered to serve as natural defenders against external aggression, in the past. So, after India gained independence, it was involved in building good friendly relations with its neighbours. In 1947, Pakistan declared a clan-destine war against India and was able to occupy 35 per cent of Jammu and Kashmir because of shortsightedness of our leaders. The war came to an end in 1949 with the United Nations sponsored Ceasefire Agreement which recognized the ceasefire line, beyond which lay the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Pt. Nehru formulated the PnnclisJn'i'1, the five principles of peaceful co-existence with the neighbours, but in 1962, to his utter dismay, China attacked India. It seized 20 per cent of Kashmir consisting of around 38,000 sq. km of Ladakh's Aksai Chin region. Another 4,000 sq. km of land, located to the west of the Karakoram more...

It is important to note that much of the Vedic literature – both in the style and substance of its verses, appears to be uniquely Indian, and it is not impossible that at least some of the verses may have Harappan origin. Many of the philosophical themes that are explored and developed in the Vedic literature have insightful naturalist references that are consistent with Indian geography. In addition, there are certain philosophical aspects of the Vedic literature that don't appear to be replicated in quite the same way in any other civilization that was contemporaneous to the Vedic civilization. The best of the Vedic Shlokas refer to a common life-spirit that links all living creatures, to human social- interconnectedness, to the notion of unity in diversity and how different sections of society might have different prayers and different wishes. Whereas some verses point to god as being a source for more...

It must not be forgotten that modern technology has not made itself felt uniformly, nor even universally. Some areas-notably Russia, India and the orient - are still doinmantly agricultural; and their cities do not display the characteristics of cities as we know them in the West Generally speaking they still follow the-ancient pattern of self-sufficient entities drawing their support from and in turn serving, fairly well-defined areas. The size and character of any city will be determined by the amount of agricultural products and the foodstuff available to support it, and by the nature and extent of the goods and services which the city is equipped to supply to the area from which it draws its sustenance. Underlying all of this exchange, of course, is the existence of adequate transportation facilities. Indeed, transportation is implied in the very concept of trade; and no city can grow beyond the limits imposed more...

Karl Marx was born on May 5,1818 in Trier, where he received a classical education. He studied jurisprudence at Bonn and later in Berlin, where, however, his preoccupation with philosophy soon turned him away from law. In 1841, after spending five years in the "metropolis of intellectual', he returned to Bonn intending to habilitate. At that time the first 'New Era' was in vogue in Prussia. Frederick William IV had declared his love of a loyal opposition and attempts were being made in various quarters to organize one. Thus the Rheinische Zeitung was founded at Cologne, with unprecedented daring Marx used it to criticise the deliberations of/the Rhine Province Assembly, in articles which attracted-great attention; At the end of 1842, he took over the editorship himself and was such a thorn in the side of the censors that they did him the honour of sending a censor from Berlin especially more...

Picture a typical, hard-working student. Each day she receives multiple assignments to complete for homework. She is involved in several extracurricular activities so she doesn't have much extra time. After sports practice, she struggles home, ladden with books, to begin studying. On a typical evening she has to work diligently for a couple of hours to complete her homework for school the next day. She has a rigorous schedule that includes honors and advanced placement classes so some nights she is forced to stay up very late to keep up with her classes. Other nights she has an extra packet of work to complete for her SAT Prep course. All this work puts a lot of pressure on her. This may not seem like anything out of the ordinal-)' and for many students it's not. The push to be overachievers and get into the top colleges has caused many high more...

According to Bacon "Reading maketh a full man; writing an exact man and conference a ready man.' And if someone asks what reading, writing and conference make together, anyone would say that they stand for education. In other weirds, we can say that education makes anyone COMPLETE, ACCURATE and WORLDLY WISE. It means that noone is complete without education. Thus we can confidently say that education is necessary for the all-round development of the personality of a human- being. He cannot hope for success, name, fame and prosperity in life without it. Even a nation would be devoid of any progress, if its citizens fail to have the benefits of education. H.L. Wayland has correctly said, "Universal suffrage, without universal education, would be a curse." For the success of any democracy, education is a must. Imagine a country with illiterate ministers voted to power by illiterate people! Unfortunately, there are more...

Indian Literature, writings in the languages and literary traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The subcontinent consists of three countries: India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

As a result, the Indian literary tradition is one of the world's oldest and richest. Religion has long exercised a strong influence on Indian writing. The major religions of the area more...
