India can export fighter planes, missiles: DRDO chief

Last Updated: Sunday, June 22, 2014, 14:37 New Delhi: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressing on the need for increasing arms exports, DRDO has said India can sell combat aircraft and missiles whose production cost would be "much lower" than some of the weapons sold by countries such as China. Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Avinash Chander said that the country needs a "policy mechanism" for exporting weapon systems and the defence research agency has suggested a "single window clearance" for sale of arms to friendly foreign countries in a time-bound manner. "We have a list of equipment that includes the Light Combat Aircraft 'Tejas', 'Akash' air defence system, 'Prahar' class of missiles and 'BrahMos' supersonic cruise missiles along with a number of systems that can be exported," he told PTI.

Source of Silver Foil used in sweets

Courtesy: Taranga Magazine Authors: Nafiza Joseph and Shailaja N Raj A couple of years ago, Indian Airlines, the domestic air-carrier of India had issued instructions to its suppliers to supply sweet without silverfoil called VARAKH. Do you know why ??? Silver is widely used for various purposes in the market today. Silver is considered precious and its utility is enormous. The reason behind this is that silver reflects back 95% of the light energy that falls on it. The silver foils used for edible purposes is called VARAKH So what's so special about VARAKH? This is what I would like to bring to your notice. If you keenly observe this VARAKH under a microscope don be perturbed if you happen to see traces of blood, stools and saliva of a cattle or ox.

BENGAL FAMINE 1943

Image
Remembering India’s Forgotten Holocaust British policies killed nearly 4 million Indians in the 1943-44 Bengal Famine RAKESH KRISHNAN SIMHA June 13, 2014, Issue 25 Volume 11 The Bengal Famine of 1943-44 must rank as the greatest disaster in the subcontinent in the 20th century. Nearly 4 million Indians died because of an artificial famine created by the British government, and yet it gets little more than a passing mention in Indian history books. What is remarkable about the scale of the disaster is its time span. World War II was at its peak and the Germans were rampaging across Europe, targeting Jews, Slavs and the Roma for extermination. It took Adolf Hitler and his Nazi cohorts 12 years to round up and murder 6 million Jews, but their Teutonic cousins, the British, managed to kill almost 4 million Indians in just over a year, with Prime Minister Winston Churchill cheering from the sidelines. Australian biochemist Dr Gideon Polya has called the Bengal Famine a “manmade holocaust” b...

शिया और सुन्नी

सुन्नी सऊ‚दी और शिया इराक के बीच खींचतान, ईरान की कूटनीतिबढ़ती शिया ताकत से भयभीत अरब राष्ट्र - मुजफ्फर हुसैन इस्लाम की छतरी तले मुस्लिम राष्ट्र कितनी ही एकता का स्वर बुलंद करें लेकिन दुनिया जानती है कि इन मुस्लिम देशों में अनेक प्रकार की भिन्नताएं हैं। दुनिया में जितने भी मुस्लिम राष्ट्र हैं उनमें ईरान को छोड़कर सभी सुन्नी पंथी हैं, ईरान एकमात्र शिया देश है। जहां तक इराक की जनसंख्या का सवाल है वहां 55 प्रतिशत शिया हैं लेकिन फिर भी वह सुन्नी देश कहलाता है। वहां की सरकार पर हमेशा से सुन्नी प्रभावी रहे हैं। इराक के 45 प्रतिशत सुन्नियों से वहां के शियाओं का कभी संघर्ष नहीं रहा। उन्होंने इराक को शिया देश बनाने की कोशिश भी नहीं की। दिलचस्प बात यह है कि इमाम खुमैनी के समय में 1978 से 80 तक इराक और ईरान के बीच भीषण युद्ध होता रहा जिसका नेतृत्व सद्दाम हुसैन करते रहे। अंतत: ईरान के शासकों ने एकपक्षीय युद्धविराम की घोषणा करके इराक से हार स्वीकार कर ली। संक्षेप में कहना हो तो पंथ के आधार पर इराक की राष्ट्रीयता में कोई बदलाव नहीं आया। बाद के दिनों में ऐसे समीकरण बदले कि जिस अमरीका की सहायता से इरा...

भारत पर मुस्लिम आक्रमण

युगों पूर्व हिरण्याक्ष नामक असुर ने धरती को रसातल मे डुबो दिया था , तब धरती को पाताल से मुक्त करने हेतु भगवान् वाराह ने हिरण्याक्ष का वध किया और धरती को पाताल से बाहर निकाल कर उसका उद्धार किया ,जिसप्रकार वे धरती के रक्षक कहलाये ।  यही एक कारण था ,की प्रतिहार शासक आदिवाराह नाम से जाने लगे ,उनकी राजमुद्रा पर भी वराह का रूप अंकित उन्होंने करवाया क्योंकि वे भी भगवान् वाराह की तरह हिन्दुभूमि को म्लेच्छो के काल-पाश में जाने से बचा पाए थे ,और म्लेच्छो के अधिकार में गयी हुयी भूमि को उनसे वापस छीन कर उसका उद्धार करने में सफल हो पाए थे । इस्लाम की स्थापना तथा अरबो का रक्तरंजीत साम्राज्यविस्तार सम्पूर्ण विश्व के लिए एक भयावह घटना है , मोहम्मद पैगम्बर के मृत्यु के बाद अरबो का अत्यंत प्रेरणादायी रूप से समरज्यिक उत्थान हुआ| १०० वर्ष भीतर ही उन्होंने पश्चिम में स्पेन से पूर्व में चीन तक अपने साम्राज्य को विस्तारित किया। वे जिस भी प्रदेश को जित ते वहा के लोगो के पास केवल दो ही विकल्प रखते, या तो वे उनका धर्म स्वीकार कर ले या मौत के घाट उतरे|उन्होंने पर्शिया जैसी महान संस्कृतियों ,सभ्यताओं,शिष्टाचारो क...
