Britishers looted our precious knowledge acquired over thousands of years.

वो क्रान्तिकारी थे बटुकेश्वर दत्त.
देश आज़ाद होने के बाद बटुकेश्वर दत्त भी रिहा कर दिए गए. लेकिन दत्त को जीते जी भारत ने भुला दिया. इस बात का खुलासा नेशनल बुक ट्रस्ट द्वारा प्रकाशित किताब “बटुकेश्वर दत्त, भगत सिंह के सहयोगी” में किया गया है.

नवम्बर 1947 में उन्होंने अंजलि नाम की लड़की से शादी की. अब उनके सामने कमाने और घर चलाने की समस्या आ गई. बटुकेश्वर दत्त ने एक सिगरेट कंपनी में एजेंट की नौकरी कर ली. बाद में बिस्कुट बनाने का एक छोटा कारखाना भी खोला, लेकिन नुकसान होने की वजह से इसे बंद कर देना पड़ा.

सोचने में बड़ा अजीब लगता है कि भारत का सबसे बड़ा क्रांतिकारी देश की आजादी के बाद यूं भटक रहा था.
भारत में उनकी उपेक्षा का एक किस्सा और है. अनिल वर्मा बताते हैं कि एक बार पटना में बसों के लिए परमिट मिल रहे थे. इसके लिए दत्त ने भी आवेदन किया. परमिट के लिए जब वो

पटना के कमिश्नर से मिलने गए तो कमिश्नर ने उनसे स्वतंत्रता सेनानी होने का प्रमाण पत्र लाने को कहा. बटुकेश्वर दत्त के लिए ये दिल तोड़ने वाली बात थी.
बाद में राष्ट्रपति राजेन्द्र प्रसाद को जब ये पता चला तो कमिश्नर ने बटुकेश्वर दत्त से क्षमा मांगी उनके मित्र चमनलाल आज़ाद ने

एक लेख में लिखाः “क्या दत्त जैसे क्रांतिकारी को भारत में जन्म लेना चाहिए, परमात्मा ने इतने महान शूरवीर को हमारे देश में जन्म देकर भारी गलती की है. खेद की बात है कि जिस व्यक्ति ने देश को स्वतंत्र कराने के लिए प्राणों की बाजी लगा दी और जो फांसी से बाल-बाल बच गया, वह आज नितांत

Air India was started in 1932 by industrialist JRD Tata. Then its name was Tata Airlines. 1933 was the first commercial year for Tata Airlines. This year, Tata Airlines ships have flown about 160,000 miles. British royal 'Royal Air Force' pilot Homi Bharucha was the first

pilot of Tata Airlines, while JRD Tata and Vincent were the second and third pilots.
After the Second World War, on 29 July 1946, Tata Airlines became a 'Public Limited' company and its name was changed to 'Air India Limited'. After the independence of the country, the

Government of India first took 49 percent participation in Air India. Further in 1953, the Government of India passed the Air Corporation Act and then bought a majority stake in the company from the Tata group. Thus Tata Airlines became the official Air India.

Lord Shiva is known as Natarajan as he is the Lord of Dance as an eternal dancer. His dance with music is described since the Puranic period. Tandava (denote the powerful) and masculine dance as Kala-Mahakala (denote the destruction of the whole world) are the two most common

types of the dance associated with Shiva . One of the most famous dance the Tandava-Lasya is associated with destruction and creation of the world.When Lord shiva dances,he represents truth, and by dancing he banishes ignorance and helps relieve the suffering of his followers.

Shiva is believed to assume two states – the samadhi (superconscious) state, and the tandav or lasya (dance) state. The samadhi state is his nirgun (non-materialised) state, while the tandav or lasya state is his sagun (materialised) state.
Body movements performed to

depict a particular event are known as natan or natya. The one who performs this natan is a nat (actor). Traditionally, it is believed that Nataraj is the promoter of dance. Since Shiva is the pioneer amongst actors/ dancers, the title of Nataraj is accorded to Him.

The Universe is Shiva's dance school, its is his playing field. He is not only its dancer, he is its observer too. In fact, Nataraj plays the role of creating a buzz in the universe through the commencement of his dance and merging the visible and invisible Creation into Himself

Story of Azad Hind Bank

Azad Hind Sarkar' also recognized this currency.
The ten countries that supported the Azad Hind government and the army were Verma, Croatia, Germany, Nanking (present-day China), Manchukuo, Italy, Thailand, the Philippines and Ireland that recognized the bank and its currency.

Ｇａｕ Ｍａｔａ Ｉｎ Ｖｅｄｉｃ
Ｃｕｌｔｕｒｅ

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.

Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,
