Poem: "My definition for my nation"

2012-10-01T22:40:00.002-07:00

Where lays the heritage of ages past....

Where the roll cultural traditions is so vast;

Where survive the six major religions...

That's my India, best amongst all nations...!

Here lies humility in the earth...

Of what I'm proud; that i got here, my birth;

Where lies the humanity in each's heart..

That's my India, were just a speck is my art...!

Where sings the Koyal, in her sweet tone...

Where dances the peacock in glee or moan:

There survive millions of heart, in one single nation...

That's my India with a beauty beyond imagination..!

To whom the Great Himalayas are a crown...

There flows the Ganga, with a deep sound;

Where the 7 sisters are held to eastern hand...

That's my India, here lies my own sand..!

Where seen is the sun at dusk and dawn...

Where great boons like Gandhi are born;

Where the beaches merge with the oceans...

That's my India, as per by my definitions..!

THE UNSOLVED MYSTERY

None knows what it is, from where it arrive to where it depart

It comes, stays and goes with a dart

To us it seems to live in the heaven's heath

Or might be in the God's leathe

None knows what it is, from where it arrive to where it depart

None on the blue ball can make his image on the chart

Without it doesn't work the brain and the heart

It leaves alone the body's organ and the sheath

It leaves and then stops everything along with the breath

None knows what it is, from where it arrives to where it depart

Waste are all the parts when it departs,

It can any time depart giving the tart,

It is the unsolved mystery between birth and death,

All stand with a question its mystery's neath

None knows what it is, from where it arrive to where it depart

THE GOLDEN TIME-Akhilesh Jaiswal

2012-01-11T06:13:00.000-08:00

THE GOLDEN TIME

The golden time, its the life's golden time

In which no care is of the dime

All the world's happiness is along

As it is the period of rights to be wrong

The golden time, its the life's golden time

It seems as a mixture of mango and lime

Who doesn't care about the grime

Ignoring the mad elements they get lost in a song

They study but anxiously wait for the gong

The golden time, its the life's golden time

Slowly ends this golden time with a rime

This time is of all ages prime

But it does not exists for long

And ends with the start of tong

The golden time, its the life's golden time

POEM - MY DREAM

Its a dream, my dream

Its a dream, my dream

But in me is a confidence teem

To make true my dream

None can make me forbade

As i have kept away the jade

Its a dream, my dream

Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi.

2011-09-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

As we all know that before some years we were the slaves of Britain. The British were cruel and treated our people very badly. Some people protested against it and they were also given severe punishments. To save people from these punishments great leaders and queens took birth. Amongst them one was the Rani Lakshmi Bai.

She was born on 13^th November, 1835. Her father’s name was Moraprant and mother’s was Bhagirathi.Her childhood name was Manu. She grew up in the company of Nana Sahib, the son of Peshwa Bajirao who also liked her. That time India was the slave of the British. The farmers and the people of north India were troubled of the Britishers. They took heavy amount of land revenue from the poor farmers. If the farmers were could not pay the tax they were cruelly punished by the Britishers. Nevertheless Lakshmi Bai did not like it and revolted against it. In the first war of Independence which is sometimes simply called ‘Mutiny’ or the ‘Great upheaval’. She bravely fought for her kingdom and refused to bow her head before the Britishers. It was at an early age when she was married to Gangadhar Rai who was then the ruler of Jhansi. After some days of marriage Gangadhar became seriously ill, then they adopted a son, Damodar as they had no son of their own. Soon Gangadhar died. After his death, Lord Dalhousie who was the Governor General, following the Docto0r Lapse refused to accept Damodar as the king.

Rani Lakshmi was brave enough, she did not stop to fight for freedom. She collected weapons and ammution. When the British invaded the fort of Jhansi, they were surprised to see the brave daughter of the motherland India, with sword in her hand answering forcefully the cruel strokes of might enemies.

Lakshmi Bai was certainly of no match of the British power . After losing Jhansi she fought for the fort of Gwalior. She continued fighting for her country till her last breath. After her many great leaders also sacrificed their lives to grt India free. Now just because of their hard work we are free.

Shivaji- the Great

2011-09-25T22:30:00.000-07:00

The Marathas were the people who lived in Pune and some parts of Maharashtra. They were brave and courageous people and their economic source was based on agriculture. The Marathas also worked under the Mughals. It was Shivaji, at that time who brought awakening among the Marathas.

Shivaji was born in 1627 A.D. at Shivner, a place near Pune. His father Shahji Bhonsle was a chief in the court of Sultan of Bijapur. His father remained out for most of the time and so Shivaji’s education was the responsibility of his mother Jijabai. Shivaji’s tutor was Konddeva. He was trained by them in warfare as well as in administration.

Shivaji was very ambitious. He wanted to become a king. Therefore he gathered some men to form a small army. He made this army expert in guerilla warfare. Using the guerilla warfare the soldiers of Shivaji’s army even could fight with small army. Due to this he was given the title of ‘mountain rat’.

The Mughal ruler at that time was Aurangzeb. When Aurangzeb heard about Shivaji’s exploits, he sent Shaista Khan to destroy him. Nevertheless Shaista khan was defeated by Shivaji at Poona. At last due to Shivaji’s exploits Aurangzeb declared him as king. In 1674, Shivaji was crowned king at his capital Raigarh. It was the birth of the first Maratha state.

Shivaji was not only a good soldier but also a good administrator. He made the people arise against the mighty Mughals.

THE BEGGER PROBLEM IN INDIA

2011-09-25T22:27:00.000-07:00

‘God Lovett a cheerful given’

- Bible

If you happen to go to a railway station or out- side the holy places

You will find yourself surrounded with a number of beggars. They try their best to touch your emotions and sentiments and force you directly or indirectly to give them some money. These beggars have become a major problem in the way of progress for any nation.

It is pretty hard to classify them. They belong to all sects. Several types of them are seen moving from one place to another. Among them, some are homeless, crippled and disabled, while some others are quit hale and hearty. Children of tender age are also seen begging.

There are some beggars who were saffron colored dress and go from door to door. It is also seen that many rascals cheat the public by saying that they know the future or can double the currency notes or gold. Women and greedy persons fall victim to them. Such people are a curse to the country and should be punished severely.

The beggars live on charity of the people. Everybody tries to help them either on religion or sentimental grounds

The problem is how to stop begging when people have sympathy for the beggars. Hence, for the common good, the government should take stern steps. First of all begging should be declared illegal. But this problem is so acute that an act of parliament will not be sufficient to out this evil. The public should also come forward to help in strengthening the hands of the government. For this, individual’s charity should be stopped. Employment should be provided to those who need it and are willing to work.

The problem cannot be solved unless the government takes initiative and is backed by the public co-operates, the nuisance of begging will come end.

Prophet Muhammad.

2011-09-25T22:19:00.000-07:00

Like the saints a prophet also took birth on the Earth. His name was Muhammad. He was born in A.D. 571in Mecca, a city in which the Kaaba, an important shrine is located. His father died before his birth, so his uncle brought him up.

Muhammad was, from the very beginning, meditative and imaginative. He always thought of the welfare and well-being of the downtrodden. He formed a new religion called Islam. Once, at the age of forty while he was meditating in a cave at Mount Hira he had ‘visions of truth’. The angel Gabriel appeared to him and told him to recite him the name of God, the Creator. The revelations that Muhammad received were to become the first part of Koran which in Arabic meant recitation or read loudly.

Unfortunately the ideas and beliefs of Muhammad were not liked by the rich merchants. Thus he had to face opposition and criticism of these people. Ultimately, he was forced to leave Mecca and seek refuge in Medina where he was given a warm welcome. This event took place in 622 A.D. This is known as Hijra or migration and is the first year of Muslim calendar. Here Muhammad preached the principles of Islam and very soon the people of Arabia accepted this new religion. Islam believed that Allah is one and only God. It also respect the theory of Brotherhood.

Prophet Muhammad was a sort of God to the Arabian people. Soon this new religion became famous in whole world especially in India and Pakistan etc. in India the people were Greatly influenced by the teachings of Islam and converted into Muslims. He died in 632 A.D.

THE PROBLEM OF RISING PRICE

2011-09-25T22:16:00.000-07:00

There is the problem of rising price all over the world. But this problem is more serious in India than anywhere else. It is the greater curse to the poor class. The following facts have causes the price rate in India. India is a back ward country. Production is not enough to meet the needs of the people. So there is shortage of every thing. It causes rise in price.

India is facing the greatest problem of over-population. But production dose not increase in the same proportion. So peoples need cannot be meet out. The price goes high. As such there is a great need of check on population.

The supply is less than demands due to this. So the prices have gone high. Scientific method farming can help a lot to improve agriculture. People also waste much money on social evils and religious function. There is much waste at the time of marriages, birth or death. People should be taught to get ride of these things.

In India, business-men store the commodities and sell them at a high pries in the black market. Beside this a lots of money is in circulation. Hoarding and black marketing have made the situation worst. The frequent strikes in factories also affect the production, which results in rise in price.

Our government should try to improve the increase in production and to convince of the advantages of the family planning. Production should be increased by scientific method. The government should impart technical and scientific training to the industrial workers to enable them to increase production so as to bring about a fall in price of essential commodities.

The problem of overpopulation in India(SHORT DESCRIPTION).

2011-09-25T22:12:00.000-07:00

Day by day world’s population is increasing. In population, India at present is on second number. With this increase in population there are many problems caused in our country as well as in the whole world. It has become a great issue of worry for the whole world.

At present India’s population is nearly about one Arab and twenty Crore. The citizens of India are responsible for this. The speed in population has lead to birth of many problems and natural disasters.

Amongst these problems one great problem of India is deforestation. Deforestation is a great factor related to population. Today in this increased people need a house to live. As there is not much place on the earth, thus people cut trees to get a shelter to live.

Another great issue is pollution. Due to this increase in population people use more and more vehicles and release carbon-dioxide and carbon-monooxide which cause pollution, it also can lead to destruction of many cities. One other problem is. Now we do not get admissions in nice schools as they are full because of excessive population. In competitions of 500 seats about 1 Lakh scholars participate. There are many other problems which are caused due to population. If we start counting the problems it would be very difficult task.

Thus, I want to say that the only way we can control the population is by using and applying the sentence ‘We two and ours two’. Then only we will be able to get a bit release from this great burden of population.

Guru Nanak, the Sikh preacher.

2011-09-25T21:57:00.000-07:00

In this word many saints took birth and preached about different religions. Amongst them one was Guru Nanak Dev. He was born in 1469 A.D. in Khatri family at Talwandi near Lahore. Now the village is called Nankana Sahib and it is in Pakistan. He was a Sikh preacher. He taught people that there was only one God and wanted to spread unity in the whole world.

At the age of seven he joined the village school. He was very intelligent, and learnt all the alphabets in one day. Once he composed a beautiful hymn which is now in Guru Granth Sahib. He used to think about God for hours together. Once, when his father gave him twenty rupees to do some beneficial business, he spent the money on feeding the hungry men. Nanak was married at the age of fourteen. Nevertheless marriage can’t stop him from thinking about God. His father sent him to Sultanpur and was made a government store-keeper by the governor, Daulat Khan Lodhi. He was quite sincere in his work. One morning after taking the bath in Alibi River, he went into the forest. There he heard the command of God to teach the people to remember about him and know that the heavenly father loved them. It was the day since when Nanak turned into saint.

He preached that the people are not Hindus or Muslims but the children of one God. He believed in one God. To spread his message he visited many places in India and also in Arabia. After his return from there he lined near Tape at Kartarpur until he died.

Like Guru Nanak many other saints also took birth on this Earth. They taught different religions. This could be said as God’s, message of reminding people that there is one God, a God who his looking and caring for his children on Earth.

Gautama Buddha, the enlightened one.

2011-09-25T21:51:00.000-07:00

In world many saints and preachers took birth. They meditated of God all the time unless they came in contact with God. According to God’s decision they gave rise to different religions. One of them was Gautama Buddha who grew up to be a great saint.

He was born in 563 B.C. His childhood name was Siddhartha. His father’s name was Shuddhodhana, the king of Kapilavastu. His mother’s name was Maya Devi. He died when Siddhartha was only seven days old. It was predicted that Siddhartha would be ruler the whole world if remained at home. Thus his father tried to give him a luxurious life. Gautama was not only handsome but very clever too. As a prince he had rich clothes to wear, good food to eat and a large area to live. He was taught how to ride a horse how top shoot and to swim. In fact he learnt all the lessons that a prince should know. His father did not allow him to leave the palace because he was worried that his son might leave the home to become a wandering holy man. When he was 19 years old his father got him married to a princess called Yashodhara. They both were very happy and lead a lovely life. After sometime a son was born to them, they named him Rahula.

Once Siddhartha came out with his charioteer. Siddhartha was greatly touched by as he saw an old man, a sick man, a dead body and a man whose head was shaven. He wanted to do something to deliver the humanity from all such misery. He focused on this problem for a long time. On hearing some words from a hermit he was encouraged and he left the palace. He went into the forest and meditated there when his family was asleep. He put his full concentration to know the secret of life and death and observed long fasts. He formed a new religion called Buddhism.

At last, he got enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Gaya. Now, he became Buddha the enlightened one. Like this great saint many other saints took birth that formed a history of new religions. These are the messengers of God who came on Earth to save the people from crimes and misery.

Jesus Christ

2011-09-24T20:43:00.000-07:00

http//:www.facebook.com/amankadeep.

In this world there are many sinners are there who commit sins in every minute. Some commit by telling lies while other by steeling or doing murders etc. To save people from there sins many messengers and saints took birth. Amongst them one was Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Jewish. In the village of Bethlehem (now known as Nazareth) a brilliant child was born in the family of carpenter's family who was the former of a new religion, Christianity.

Jesus' mother's name was Mary and father's Joseph. When he was twelve years old he had much knowledge about God than any priest. At the age of twenty he went to a jungle and kept fast for forty days and discovered the new path of life. He returned home and began to teach that people should shed hatred and love there enemies. The most important lesson he taught was 'Do to others only those things you would like them to do to you.'

He also told people that the world has grown wicked. Nevertheless father God is kind enough to forgive everyone who felt sorry for their mistakes and confessed them. Soon he became very famous and settled in the hearts of thousands of people. Many people from far of places came and visited him in huge crowds. The priests of Jewish feared to lose their power so they began to hate Jesus and even started planning to kill him. On their complaint the Roman Governor told them that he had no reason to arrest him. The Jewish priests conspired and bribed Jesus' friend to capture Judas to capture him. After capturing Jesus they presented him before the governor, he didn't any fault with Jesus. The governor compelled to order for his crucification as Jesus said nothing in his self defense.

Thus the lightning figure sacrificed his for the sins of mankind and save them. Really human beings are self centered Jesus himself came on Earth to save people but at the time of his crucification no one objected and saved him.

AKBAR-THE GREAT

2011-09-24T20:35:00.000-07:00

We are all known to the Mughal dynasty. The Mughal set up a strong and powerful empire encompassing the whole of India. These were several rulers from Babar, the founder of the Mughal Empire to Bahadur Shah II, the last Mughal Emperor. Nevertheless the mightiest, wisest and the most ambitious ruler among them was Akbar – The Great.

Akbar was born on 15^th as the son of Humayun and Hamid Banu Begum who at that time were in exile, as Humayun was defeated by Sher Shah Suri and lost Delhi. He spent his childhood away from the comforts that a prince gets. Humayun reconquered Delhi in 1555when Islam Shah succeeded Sher Shah Suri.

Akbar succeeded his father on 14^thFebruary, 1556 when he was just 13 years old. Akbar’s first military conflict was with Hemu, a brave Hindu general of Adil Shah. The Mughal army under Bairam Khan succeeded in defeating Hemu in the famous battle of Panipat. This made Akbar the undisputed master of the throne. Akbar was very ambitious. He wanted to bring the whole of India under him. As a result in the 17^thcentury his empire extended to three-fourths of India, Afghanistan and Baluchistan.

Akbar’s empire extended from Bengal in the east to Afghanistan in the north-west and from Himalayas in the north to Godavari River in the east. Akbar was a good administrator. His liberal religious policies won the hearts of millions of people. He abolished the pilgrim tax and the jaziya tax which were prevalent at that time. He also founded a religion called Din-I-Illa hi to unite the people of all the religions.

Though Babar was the first ruler and also the founder of Mughal dynasty, Akbar is said to be the real founder of Mughal Empire. Akbar died in 1605. He ruled from 1556 to 1605. His rule was glorious. Thus it is correct to add the acronym great to his name.

India is a country full of natural beauties. Himalayas derives from two Sanskrit words ‘Him’ that means snow and ‘Alaya’ that means home. It totally means home of snow. Himalayas are the largest mountain range in the world. Its height is about 15000 feet. Himalayas are the crown of India.

Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalayas is the highest peak in the world and its height is 8848 meter. Himalayas act as a protective blanket for us. They protect us from several cold. It prevents the cool current to come in. The Himalayas also act as a barrier as it prevents the Chinese people to come and attack India.

It is because of the Himalayas there are favorable conditions in India. Just because of the Himalayas many places in India like Shimla, Dehradun, Mussouri, Kashmir, Nainital, etc. are very beautiful and tourists visit these places every year.

The Himalayas also protects us as it stops the cold winds that blow from central Asia. Today because of Himalayas India is saved from being frozen. After the British rule India had been under the rule of China but because of Himalayas which acts as a barrier India is free.

The Himalayas are very beautiful mountains. They are the crown of India. They are very helpful to us in many ways.

Scene at a railway station.

2011-09-21T10:29:00.000-07:00

Every year I and my father go for a tour. This year also we thought of going to Dehradun. We packed our clothes and left for a nearby railway station, Gonda in case there was no station in Utaula (my town). The scene at that railway was very crowded and noisy.

Unfortunately our train was late by 4 hours. We were bored at the railway station waiting for our train. The vendors and peddlers were shouted at top of their articles. The whole atmosphere of that place was very noisy. When we went to by ticket on the counter, the number of people in the line was above 150. We were tired of standing in the line. As soon as any train came people rushed into it to get their seats. With the pedestrians some vendors also went into the train to sell their articles. It was very hot summer season and the fan also was not working. When we felt hungry we took out our packed food. As soon as we started eating a monkey came from back and snatched my food and went away. My father began to laugh at me.

Over all the scene at the railway station was full of rush. It’s main reason is overpopulation. As our train arrived we sat into it and went on our way. We could not even get a place to sit on the train. Due to this growing population stations, buses, trains, etc. are getting more crowded. The railway station where we went we got hardly a place to sit.karan.singh229@gmail.com

CHILD LABOR

2011-09-21T10:27:00.001-07:00

A wise man said that children are the future of a nation. This means that if they are in a good condition and are well educated the future of the country is also bright. Nevertheless in our country many children of poor families do labor to earn money. This is what is exactly called ‘Child Labor’.

Today there are many children in our country who just dream of education. Instead of getting education in their early ages the children do labor to feed themselves or their poor family. In these ages the children, instead of wearing uniform and going to schools, they are sent to workshops, hotels, etc. to work and earn money.

These children have no joy in their life. Their outlook becomes pessimistic. They are abused and misused. They are beaten mercilessly. Just for small mistakes, they are abused. They forget the efficacy of sweet words.

Now the government and also the NGO’s are worried taking the future of India. The government and the NGO’s are now taking measurable steps in the direction to ban child labor. The government has now started free schools where along with free education food is also distributed among the children of poor families.

The system of child labor is not allowed by our Constitution. Nevertheless the children are forced t work when their stomach is empty. The government now has to come forward to take steps in this direction. Not only is the government we should also do something as Child Laborkaran.singh229@gmail.com a problem for our motherland, India.

THE BLESSING OF SCIENCE

2011-09-21T10:25:00.000-07:00

Shakespeare once wrote ‘nothing is good or bad in this world, but thinking makes it so.’ This is also true in the case of science. Science is neither curse nor a blessing. Every thing depends on its use. Prof.C.E.M.joad has written, ‘science has given us power fit for the god yet we use them like small children

We live in the age of science. It has changed the face of our earth or world. Scientific invention like computer, satellite, X-ray, radium, plastic surgery, cellular phone, photography and machine have been proved very useful. They have given much comfort ease convenience. These are due to hard and continuous work of our scientist. We are indebted to them. There is no sphere of life where science has helped us.

Electricity is one of the invaluable gifts of science. It has been proved to be a boon in this modern world. It has saved us from unnecessary toil it gives us lights. It keeps our room warm. It moves our fans. It boils water for us. A crane lifts up very heavy loads for us with the help of electricity.

Machines are our extra limbs. They weave clothes for us. Productions of goods are cheap and quick. We can fly like birds. We can cross the sea like fish. Computer and calculator do the work of accounted and clerks. Guns and fire arms save our life in danger. Radio and television sings for us.

In the medical field new drugs have been invented. They have been popular and useful to us. Sometimes a single dose of drug ends dose pain. A weeping child begins to smile. Thus we see that science serves us like a good servant.

But there is also a dark side of the picture. Machines are very useful but they are the main cause of unemployment. Many people lost their jobs and become unemployed. This is why Gandhi I was against unnecessary use of machine.

We should remember that our ill are not due to science. It is its wrong use which has created harm. The proper uses of scientific things are really a boon, while its wrong use is a curse. This is why Prof. Hardy wrote, ‘science is an angle in peace but devil in war.’ karan.singh229@gmail.com

The Dowry System in India

2011-09-21T10:22:00.001-07:00

karan.singh229@gmail.comIndia is a country with many religions, rites and rituals. Some of these are good but some of these are unacceptable. In India many types of superstitions, sacrifices and social evils also exist. One of the major social evil in India is ‘The Dowry System. ’

The Dowry System is really a curse to our country. It is a blot on our society. Even it is a crime people give and take dowry. This usually happens in the villages. This system has the condition of women in India, very miserable. India can only progress if this system is abolished.

The dowry system is not new in India. It is a very old system. Nevertheless in olden days there was no compulsion of this, but today the marriage is not held until the girl’s parents don’t give dowry.

As a result of this system many young girls commit suicide. This system has made the life of young girls and also their parents miserable. The girl’s parents sometimes take debts to give dowry and remain in debts throughout their life. Brides who do not bring rich dowry from their houses are ill-treated. They are badly beaten, given divorce or sometimes killed.

The position of women in Indian society is gradually going down due to the dowry system. In olden days women were highly respected. Nevertheless now the position of women has declined due to dowry system. The dowry system is a menace that can’t be abolished by law and order and unless it is abolished India cannot progress fully.
