Maharana Pratap

Maharana Pratap was born in 1540. Rana Uday Singh, the Second, of Mewar had 33 children. Among them, the eldest was Pratap Singh. Self-respect and virtuous behaviour were the main qualities of Pratap Singh. He was bold and brave right from his childhood and everyone was sure that he was going to be a very valiant person as he grew up. He was more interested in sports and learning to wield weapons rather than general education. Coronation : During Maharana Pratap Singh’s time, Akbar was the Mughal Ruler in Delhi. His policy was to make use of the strength of Hindu kings to bring other Hindu Kings under his control. Many Rajput kings, abandoning their glorious traditions and fighting spirit, sent their daughters and daughters-in-law to the harem of Akbar with the purpose of gaining rewards and honour from Akbar. Uday Singh appointed before his death, Jagammal, the son of his youngest wife as his heir although Pratap Singh was elder to Jagammal but he was ready to give up his rights like ...

Education in the corona times

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. Covid-19 has forced universities across India, and the world indeed, to suspend physical classrooms and shift to online classes. In India, while this transition has been smooth for most private universities, the public ones are still adapting. There have also been debates on the nature of classes, and the future of examination and evaluation — whether they could be conducted online or not. While faculty grapples with new ways of managing this sudden transition to online education, students are left clinging to their mobile phones and computer screens. If the lockdowns were to continue for some time, how would higher education be affected? What are some of the deeper issues that requi...

About India

India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress since Independence. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. - Source India.gov.in 

First English Speaking Indian in recorded history

Do you know that the first Indian to become a speaker of the English language in recorded history was a washerman commonly called 'dhobi' in the indigenous language? Although the British East India Company set up its first factory in Bengal in 1651 at Hooghly, the spread of systematic English education began in the nineteenth century. How, then, did the Englishmen and the Bengalis interact during this period of nearly a century and a half?   Here's a fascinating story of how a washerman (Dhobi) became the first interpreter for the East India Company by a stroke of luck. The Apostheosis of Ratan Sarkar A curious recollection of the event still survives in Calcutta. The story is told that, while lying in Garden Reach, at all times a favorite anchorage, Stafford sent over to Govindpur to ask the Setts and Bysacks for a “Dobhash”, meaning an interpreter or broker. The simple villagers mistook the word dobhash for dhoba, a washerman, and accordingly sent one, named Ratan S...
