7. According to an 1875 gazetteer written by Edwin T. Atkinson, the name X was
given to the city by Balarama, who slew the great Asura (demon) X there and,
with the assistance of the Ahirs, subdued this part of the doab. In another
account, Atkinson points out a "legend" that X was founded by the Dor tribe
of Rajputs in 372. This is further confirmed by an old fort, the ruined Dor
fortress, which lies at the city centre.
X is mentioned in Ibn Battuta's Rihla, when Ibn Battuta along with 15
ambassadors representing Ukhaantu Khan, emperor of the Mongol Chinese
Yuan dynasty, travelled to X city en route to the coast at Cambay (in Gujarat)
in 1341.
According to Battuta, it would appear that the district was then in a very
disturbed state since the escort of the Emperor's embassy had to assist in
relieving Jalali from an attacking body of Hindus and lost an officer in the
fight. Ibn Batuta calls X "a fine town surrounded by mango groves."

According to medieval Hindu mythology, the origin of this festival can be
found in the ancient legend of samudra manthan. The legend tells of a
battle between the Devas and Asuras for amrita, the drink of immortality.
During samudra manthan, or churning of the ocean, amrita was produced
and placed in a X (pot). To prevent the asuras (malevolent beings) from
seizing the amrita, a divine carrier flew away with the pot.
According to medieval Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu(divine
carrier) dropped drops of Amrita (the drink of immortality) at four places,
while transporting it in a X(pot). These four places are identified as the
present-day sites of the X.
This is the origin for which major event in India.

28. THIS IS SOMETHING WHAT MUST BE KEPT IN
MIND THESE DAYS.WHO SAID THESE ALL?
Literacy in itself is no education.
Literacy is neither the end of the education nor the beginning.
What is really needed to make democracy function is not knowledge of
facts, but right education.
National education, to be truly national, must reflect the national condition
for the time being.
The function of Nayee-Talim is not to teach an occupation, but through it
to develop the whole man.
By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child’s and
man’s body, mind and spirit.

47. A TRIBUTE TO SIR SYED AHMAD KHAN
AND PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU
48. 1.NAME THE BIOGRAPHY
Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali wrote in the biography of Sir
Syed that:
"As soon as Sir Syed reached Moradabad, he began to
write the pamphlet entitled 'The Causes of the Indian
Revolt' (Asbab-e-Baghawat-e-Hind), in which he did his
best to exonerate the people of India, and especially the
Muslims, of the charge of Mutiny. In spite of the obvious
danger, he made a courageous and thorough report of
the accusations people were making against the
Government and refused the theory which the British had
invented to explain the causes of the Mutiny.”
49.
50.
51. In 1855, SIR SYED finished his highly scholarly, very well researched and illustrated
edition of Abul Fazl's Ai'n-e Akbari, itself an extraordinarily difficult book.
Having finished the work to his satisfaction, and believing that He was a person who
would appreciate his labours, Syed Ahmad approached the great X to write a taqriz (in
the convention of the times, a laudatory foreword) for it.
X obliged, but what he did produce was a short Persian poem castigating the Ai'n-e
Akbari, and by implication, the imperial, sumptuous, literate and learned Mughal culture
of which it was a product. X practically reprimanded Syed Ahmad Khan for wasting his
talents and time on dead things.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan never again wrote a word in praise of the Ai'n-e Akbari and in
fact gave up taking active interest in history and archaeology. He did edit another two
historical texts over the next few years, but neither of them was anything like that.
Name X.

2.
64. In the Government’s Home ministry website there is a note which says

separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood, but was
not diagnosed until the age of 16. He is seen to hold his knee due to
the pain caused by the condition and has pulled out of events because
of it. He and his brother were present during the 1996 Dunblane school
massacre, when Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and a teacher
before shooting himself; he took cover in a classroom. He was too
young to understand what was happening and is reluctant to talk about
it in interviews, but in his autobiography Hitting Back he states that
he attended a youth group run by Hamilton, and that his mother gave
Hamilton lifts in her car.

India from a milk-deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer, surpassing
the USA in 1998, with about 17 percent of global output in 2010–11. In 30 years it
doubled milk available per person, and made dairy farming India’s largest self-
sustainable rural employment generator. It was launched to help farmers direct
their own development, placing control of the resources they create in their own
hands. All this was achieved not merely by mass production, but by production by
the masses.
The Anand pattern experiment at Amul, a single, cooperative dairy, was the engine
behind the success of the program. “Y” the chairman and founder of Amul, was
named the chairman of NDDB by the then Prime Minister of India Lal Bahadur
Shastri.

It is widely believed that many X traditions originated from Celtic harvest
festivals which may have pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic

a solely Christian festival.
Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and beginning
of winter or the 'darker half' of the year.
Like Beltane/Calan Mai, it was seen as a time period, when the boundary
between this world and the Otherworld thinned. This meant the 'spirits' or
'fairies', could more easily come into our world and were particularly
active.
