The Other View-Not Plassey 1757 but Samugarh 1658: Fateful tipping point that fixed the subcontinent’s future course
The Other View-Not Plassey 1757 but Samugarh 1658: Fateful tipping point that fixed the subcontinent’s future course
On May 29, 1658, India’s history changed forever. Aurangzeb’s victory over his brother Dara Shikoh marked the beginning of Islamic bigotry in India that not only alienated Hindus but the much more moderate Sufis and Shias as well. Aurangzeb’s narrow Sunni beliefs were to make India the hotbed of Muslim fundamentalists, long before the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia sponsored the fanatics of Taliban and Islamic State.
Two great Mughal armies, led by Shah Jahan’s eldest son Dara Shikoh and his third son Aurangzeb, clashed on a dusty plain 20 km southeast of Agra. It was not only a battle for the Mughal throne, but a battle for the very soul of India.
It pitted Dara, an eclectic scholar who respected all religions, against Aurangzeb who was an orthodox Sunni Muslim. Dara had translated the Bhagwad Gita and Upanishads from Sanskrit into Persian, to make them known to the public for the first time. The fact that he had been a Sanskrit scholar shows that there had been considerable Hindu-Muslim amity in the time of Shahjahan.

The high capacity microSD, aka microSDHC, are those microSD cards with capacities in excess of 2 gigabytes that adhere to the SD Association's standard for high capacity cards. What does the Class Rating mean? What does that "C" with a 4, 6, 10 or 2 inside it signify?
The class refers to the data transmission speed (DTS) of the card, its ability to accept and send information from the device in which it is installed. If you know how quickly a device can read and write to the card you can more closely match the card to it. There is no sense in putting a Class 6 card in a device that writes so slowly that a Class 2 card is sitting there twiddling its virtual thumbs waiting for bits.
As a rule of thumb the class of a card is the sustained data transfer speed (DTS) in Megabytes per second (MBS)
CLASS 2 = 2 Megabytes per Second
CLASS 4 = 4 Megabytes per Second
CLASS 6 = 6 Megabytes per Second
CLASS 10 = 10 Megabytes per Second

Guinness Book of World Records, India ranks third
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, India ranks third behind the USA and the UK in the number of records claimed each year.
In 2011, India made the third greatest number of record applications to Guinness World Records - behind only U.S. and United Kingdom.
Mahatma Gandhi is not the Father of the nation.
Indians widely describe Gandhi as the father of the nation (Hindi: राष्ट्रपिता).[11][12] The title "The Father of the Nation" for Gandhi is not an official title and has not been officially accorded by Government of India. An RTI query filed by a 10-year-old girl from Lucknow in February 2012 revealed that PMO has no records of ever according such title to Gandhi. MHA and National Archives of India also communicated of not having any records. Origin of this title is traced back to a radio address (on Singapore radio) on 6 Jul 1944 by Subhash

The Google reCAPTCHA Project
We have all come across the ubiquitous captcha - the colourful images with distorted text - a reverse Turing test of sorts. These work because no algorithm at present can read distorted text as well as we humans do. However not all the distorted texts are unreadable by machines. About 200 million captchas are solved everyday, amounting to more than 150,000 hours of work each day. Considering the numbers involved, a safe captcha generation system was needed. Enter Google reCAPTCHA. To make a positive use of this immense human effort, the reCAPTCHA channels the effort spent solving captcha online into "reading" books.
To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages

Why isn't there a gravitational pull on fire? Flat 40% OFF-www.KiranBookStore.com
why-isnt-there-gravitational-pull-on-FIRE-www.KiranBookStore.com
Carry a helium or hydrogen filled balloon in a car, and accelerate the car. (Be careful; this can be dangerous.) The balloon will not be pulled to the rear of the car; it will move to the front! (That's why I said you have to be careful.)
The balloon is, of course, pushed backwards by the acceleration (according to the equivalence principle, this is equivalent to rearward gravity), but the air, since it weighs more per volume, is pushed more. So it is what goes backwards, while the balloon is forced forward by the heavier flowing air.
Likewise from gravity. A balloon goes up because the heavier air falls down around it, displacing the balloon. And similarly for the hot plasma known as fire. It weighs less per cubic centimeter than does the air around it, so the air drops and pushes the plasma up.
When you start a fire, fuel combines with oxygen to release heat, light, carbon dioxide, water vapor, soot etc. The heat energy generated in this process heats up the air around the flame which in turn decrease the density of the surrounding air.
This hot air around the flame then starts rising up and the surrounding colder heavier air rushes down into its place accelerating the hot air upwards which in turn causes the flame to shoot up. It is this hot air rushing upwards that also causes fire to flicker.
In case of in a micro gravity environment, there is no reason for the heavier air to fall down and rush into the place of the lighter air. So the flame just remains a spherical blob as you would imagine.
Thus, gravitational pull exist on fire too.
