Is this The End Of India?


Is this The End Of India?


India with Blind govt, Deaf Army chief, militant groups and hushed masses battling to be a super power……
K Singh – a renowned journalist world wide & recognized as Nom Chomsky of India, in his book “The End of India” predicted about the total destruction of India into diminutive parts.
He cautioned not only govt but all stake holders of Indian so called secular society that they should not only forget the partition of India but also accept presence of Pakistan and all Muslims inside and outside of India with open heart. He further suggested that India must accept equal rights of others, do justice with minorities, discourage extremism grouped with militancy and  forget to eliminate the low caste Hindus from the society by degrading and disregarding their presence in millions. But unfortunately, since the publication of his book all these evils have unprecedented increase in Indian society.
It was a few days back when two famous news publishing groups of Pakistan (The Jang) and India ( Times of India ) hoisted a flag for peace in the subcontinent. It was really very lovely on their part because this is the time when poor masses of the region are looking for respite so that economic activities can burgeon in the area. Probably people are now fed up from wars and arms race. The masses now want that governments must spend money on their welfare, health, education and comforts of life. Each one having little knowledge and vision of future, looks towards European Union countries, how they have resolved their skirmishes and now are focused on scientific advancements and economic growth of their people. But when one of the two countries is India, in a peace dialogue with Pakistan, results are always pitiable as India never responds positively to peace process. The theme “Aman ki Aasha” is a good beginning. Peaceful people of Pakistan responded well and it received warm welcome in Pakistan side of the border but it was not acceptable for the militant minds and extremist groups having deep roots in govt, Indian army and society as well.
It was really interesting to see the influence of politicians getting lead from extremist groups on the sports event IPL, being conducted in India. At this time, Indian media kept quite and never pointed what all was happening. It was really terrifying to engulf that every one in India had gone bonkers. When poor people of the two countries just started dancing under the flag of “Aman ki Aasha”, the Indian wise strategy makers same as of their previous record, stabbed the peace process by influencing IPL franchises for snubbing Pakistani players at auction. The mind planning this all, was really cunning and insightful that successfully pierced the hearts of ordinary cricket lovers. Actually, extremist elements of India being supported by Indian army and agencies want to escalate the war between two countries. This time they tried a way which is never used anywhere in the world ever. They polluted the sports which are always above politics and players are ambassadors of peace. But it was a typical Hindu mind who at one end never hesitates to damage Pakistan and on the other sabotaged the peace efforts. This was really a right move to hoist the public sentiments.
Time and again, India by its actions has proved its enmity with Pakistan and people of Pakistan and govt must take a serious note of it.  India showed its true colors with this one action when Pakistan cricketers were ignored and humiliated by IPL franchises at the player’s auction in Mumbai, India on Tuesday. With this snub, no Pakistani cricketer will feature in the third edition of the IPL to be held in India in March 2010. It was not only players who went under the hammer but the hearts of millions of cricket lovers across the region. Let us see how this Aman ki Aasha floats in coming days with the Indian extremist’s desperate efforts to interfere with it. As far as cricket is concerned, it is really funny on the cricket management part that no player of the world T20 champion team will be playing. It seems from the sports point of view that India has probably slapped its own secular face by showing this drama to complete world.
New Year is exposing India in front of the world with each passing day.  New Year started with millennium statements of the Indian army chief who either talked of nuclear war or attacking two nuclear neighbors simultaneously and was boasting to defeat both. In the same month while visiting the test fire, the chief himself admitted Indian army’s armored debacle and expressed concern about the force’s night blindness in the area of armored corps and mechanized Infantry. As per Indian Tv, it also revealed during test fire that army chief was deaf from one ear and will be the first army chief to retire on medical grounds. Seeing the health, statements and action of the general, I am afraid that opinion of some other health check specialists may also be solicited. It’s really high time for Indian people as their state apparatus is dancing into the hands of extremist groups and international power brokers. With its actions govt seems totally blind and dancing for the goals which are never achievable.


INDEPENDENT KASHMIR.... JUSTICE


The Kashmir Youth Movement for the liberation of Kashmir is gathering strength by the day. It has, by now, continued for more than three months. More than 100 young men have given the supreme sacrifice of losing their lives.
Brutal repression including curfews and siege of homes, mosques, schools, hospitals and bazaars, besides point blank shooting of protesting teenagers, has failed to stop the indigenous uprising. In fact, it has further boosted it. What has all the more irked the Indian government is the way the world is beginning to take notice of the flagrant violation of human rights and unabashed use of force. New Delhi has further come under pressure from the voices rising within India against the oppression inflicted on the protesting people. In this context, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh says that he is deeply worried and distressed. Sometime back he had advised the Indian security forces to deal with the protesting youth humanely. But his advice and concern fell flat on the army and the police. Then much was expected from the all parties post-Eid conference. The meeting did take place without arriving at any meaningful decision.
Hit with bullet from Indian troops still shouts FREEDOM and down with oppression and tyranny
Even the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was not withdrawn, despite an appeal by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. And all that the conference yielded was a move to send a fact-finding group to the “occupied” state. In other words, the meeting was a damp squib.
Although the international media has woken up to the unresolved decades-old festering problem in Kashmir, there is a little of positive reaction on the part of major world powers. This almost criminal neglect is mainly due to the influence India increasingly wields internationally. Indeed, the international community overwhelmingly accords more importance to their economic and strategic interests than human rights and state excesses. (Washington’s latest statement about the nature of the current resistance in Kashmir is totally disappointing).
Indian version of democracy in occupied KASHMIR
Linked to these considerations is the general feeling after Nine Eleven, in the world capitals that agitations or uprisings even for legitimate causes should be discouraged or ignored, as such activities could grow into acts of terrorism and violent behaviour. But in the case of Kashmir – India’s 63 years of occupation, holding of fake elections in the occupied territory, preventing and repulsing of Pakistani attempts to intervene (particularly after the Kargil misadventure), plus the rising stature of the so-called largest democracy with its rapidly burgeoning economy, as well as mounting military prowess – all these factors have served to consolidate its stand on the disputed state.
Till the start of the current movement, India had also managed to convince the international community that the resistance in Kashmir was engineered, to a large extent, by Pakistan. However, this is no longer the case. It is recognised that the present demonstration of the Kashmiris’ struggle is not only totally local and indigenous, but it is also more or less peaceful. The only weapon used by the youth during their protests is pebbles and small stones. It is generally accepted that the intensity, continuity and spreading agitation and unrest has turned it into a formidable challenge for the Indian government.
What indeed is disconcerting is the attitude of the Pakistani government. It has been mostly rhetorical, lacking substance and seriousness of purpose. A few statements have come from the President, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and the opposition leaders. Even the National Assembly’s Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, has not met. The civil society too has been slow and lukewarm in expressing its concern.
On the other hand, for the first time the Indian society is stirred up and the government has come under severe criticism for its inhuman and unacceptable conduct in the occupied state. Not only are known human rights activists like Arundhati Roy highlighting India’s criminal conduct, but also columnists like Kuldip Nayar are openly asking India to hold talks with the Pakistani and Kashmiri leaders to resolve the issue. Mention may here be made of the statement issued by The Indian People’s Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) which has also condemned the Indian authorities for inflicting “collective punishment” on the Kashmiri people. One may further quote from a recent The Hindu editorial: “By talking big while having little to offer, New Delhi has unwittingly fanned the flames in J&K….Jammu and Kashmir is poised on the edge of an abyss. Firm, generous-spirited action to win over the people is needed, not post-dated promises and grandstanding.”
Hopefully, the new trail blazed by the brave Kashmiri young men should jolt the so-called ultra liberals and peaceniks’ of Pakistan to realise that Kashmir is vital for Pakistan’s economy and even survival. Although they never tire of referring to Quaid-i-Azam’s August 11 speech; however, they remain shy of recalling his perception of Kashmir as the “jugular vein” of Pakistan. Can one ignore India’s building of dozens of dams on the rivers flowing into Pakistan from Kashmir?

Junagadh




Junagadh is a district of Gujarat, which a state on India. The city of Junagadh is the districts administrative headquarter. It is the seventh largest city of Gujarat. At the foot of the Girnar hills, the city of Junagadh is located. It is 355 km south west of state capital Junagadh and Ahmedabad. The city is located in the western part of India. The word Junagadh means Old Fort. It is also recognized as Sorath. It is the name of the earlier Princely State of Junagadh. Junagadh joined India on November 9th, 1947, after a brief struggle between India and Pakistan. It was a component of Saurashtra state. Later also it was a part of Bombay state. It became a part of newly formed Gujarat state, after the Maha Gujarat movement in 1960.
Junagadh History Junagadh state was found in 1748 and became British protectorate in 1807. By 1818, the state was under the rule of The East India Company, but the Saurashtra region never came under the direct governance of British India. However the territory was divided into more than hundred princely states by the British. They remained in existence until 1947. The resent old town was developed during the 19th and 20th century. It is one of the former princely states which were outside but under the suzerainty of British India. On the land presented by Jinabhai Darbar of Panchala, the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir was constructed. It was dedicated on Friday, May 1st 1828 AD.
Junagadh ClimateThe semi arid conditions of the region, influences the diverse Junagadh weather. The climate and weather of Junagadh is also influenced by the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Cambay. Junagadh faces adverse climatic conditions in the summer months. The temperature ranges from 28 Celsius to 38 Celsius. The temperature stays between 10 Celsius to 25 Celsius in the winter months. The south-west monsoon drains the city from June to September. The annual rainfall ranges from 1000mm to 1200mm. The close proximity to the sea and the latent winds from the sea influences the weather and climatic conditions of Junagadh along with other various factors. In 1983, the highest rainfall was recorded. It was 2800 mm.
Junagadh CultureJunagadhs culture is a mixture of festivals, food and religions. Kathiyawadi, a type of food is very famous in the city. Night life of Junagadh is very limited, but here people like to go out for a drive at night. Due to cool weather and peaceful atmosphere, Girnar taleti area is favored by most of the population. Before the independence Muslim Nawab ruled Junagadh. Because of this the culture of Junagadh is a blend of both Hindu and Muslim community. Junagadh was hometown to the most beautiful actress to feature in Hindi cinema named Parveen Babi. Vali Mohammed Babi, an administrator with the Nawab of Junagadh was the father of Parveen Babi.

POSITION OF HYDROGEN IN PERIODIC TABLE

Elements_Pics.pdfHAMZA NAWAZ

Hydrogen is placed in first position in periodic table along with alkali metals, but its position is unsatisfied or unjustified. Because it has similarities with ALKALI METALS as well as HALOGENS. Here are some of the similarities with alkali metals and halogens.



SIMILARITIES WITH ALKALI METALS:
LIKE ALKALI METALS
  1. It has one electron in its valence electron shell that is the valence configuration 1s^1.
  2. It has tendency to lose electron and form H^+ ion.
  3. It has more affinity with non metals.
  4. It has an oxidation state of +1 in many of the compounds. like in water(H20)
  5. In generally hydrogen liberation occurs at cathode on electrolysis.
  6. It acts as a reducing agent in many reactions.
SIMILARITIES WITH HALOGENS:
LIKE HALOGENS:
  1. Has one electron less than the next inhert gas element helium.
  2. It has a tendency to gain electron and form hydride ion H^-.
  3. It also forms covalent compounds.
  4. In alkali metals and alkaline earth metals hydrides have an oxidation state of -1.
  5. It exist as diatomic molecule "H2".
  6. Its ionisation energy is 13.6eV, which is closer to halogens ionisation energy.

so these are the some of the similarties of hydrogen with both alkali metals and halogens. so based upon these features we can say that hydrogen position in periodic tableis unjustified or unsatisfied. so we can place the hydrogen atom in both place like at the extreme left or above the halogens. But modern periodic table has placed them on the alkali metal. why is that placed there is not explained in these modern periodic table. But against these also we use these periodic table since it has given many postulates than the other periodic tables which has been proposed.
