CURRENT AFFAIRS 

Himachal becomes India's second 

‘Open Defecation Free state 

Himachal Pradesh is declared ‘Open Defecation 

Free’ (ODF), the country’s second state, after Sikkim 

to get this status under Prime Minister Narendra 

Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ to have toilet for 

every individual household. Among bigger states, 

however, Himachal Pradesh will be the first state to 

become ODF. All 12 districts of the state have been 

covered as ODF districts. 

While making this announcement jointly with Chief 

Minister Virbhadra Singh and Union Minister for 

Health J P Nadda, Minister for Rural Development 

Narendra Singh Tomar said that it is heartening to 

note how the state has achieved the ODF target, at 

least five months in advance by taking up the task for 

construction of toilets in a campaign mode. 

Indian Army warns of ‘appropriate 

response’ 

The Army has warned of an “appropriate response” 

after a soldier was killed and his body mutilated by 

terrorists in an encounter in the Machhil sector of 

Kupwara district, near the Line of Control (LoC), in 

Jammu and Kashmir. 

“In a despicable act, the terrorists mutilated the 

body of the Indian Army soldier before fleeing 

into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), supported 

by covering fire from Pakistan Army posts,” said 

a statement released by the Army’s Northern 

Command, headquartered in Udhampur. 

Govt to buy 200 foreign fighter jets if 

Made in India 

India offers to buy hundreds of fighter planes from 

the foreign manufacturers - as long as the jets are 

made in India and with a local partner, Indian Air 

Force(IAF) officials said. A deal for 200 singleengine 

planes produced in India - which the Air 

Force said, could rise to 300 as it fully phases out 

ageing Soviet-era aircraft, which could be worth 

anything from $13-$15 billion, potentially one of the 

country’s biggest military aircraft deals. 

RSS opposes Tipu Jayanti 

RSS has opposed the celebration of ‘Tipu Jayanti’ in 

Karnataka, saying they would stage protests against 

it as the ruler of the erstwhile Mysore kingdom was a 

“religious bigot and a violent sultan”. 

“Our outfits will be out on the streets to stage protests 

against Tipu Jayanti as the then Mysuru ruler was 

a tyrant, a religious bigot and a violent sultan,” RSS 

kshetriya sarsanghchalak of Karnataka, Telangana 

and Andhra Pradesh, V Nagaraj said. 

Nagaraj added that, celebrating Tipu Jayanti will 

amount to “rubbing salt into the wounds” of Christians 

and many other communities who were persecuted by 

the then Mysuru ruler.

CURRENT AFFAIRS 

J&K schools shut, but not of Geelani's 

kin 

While separatists have ensured complete shutdown of 

the entire Valley for the last over three months, their 

own children and relatives continue to enjoy special 

entitlements with the help of the state government. 

Even as around two million students in Kashmir have 

been waiting for schools to reopen, the grand-daughter 

of pro-Pakistan separatist leader Syed Ali Shah 

Geelani and the daughters of another separatist leader 

Shabir Shah, along with other 570 students appeared 

in the internal exams of Kashmir’s premier institute, 

Delhi Public School (DPS) Srinagar. 

China cannot decide where Dalai 

Lama can visit in India 

After Beijing warned New Delhi of dire 

consequences for inviting the Dalai Lama to 

Arunachal Pradesh, the Congress party said it is not 

for China to decide where the Tibetan spiritual leader 

can and will go, as he is a much respected guest of 

India. “Arunachal is an integral part of the Republic 

of India. The Dalai Lama is a respected guest of this 

country. He has every right to visit any part of India 

and it is not for China to decide,” Congress party 

leader Anand Sharma.

INDIAN DIASPORA FINE ART 

Doddaballapur 

Indian Manchester 

of Textiles 

14 

Doddaballapur is Taluk Head Quarters of 

Bangalore Rural District. It is located to the 

north east of Bangalore city at a distance of 40 

Kms. The city is on the state Highway Bangalore 

– Hindupur Road. 

History 

Dodda means big in the native 

Kannada; contrasted with 

Chikkaballapura or the ‘little 

Ballapura’. The place is found 

mentioned as Ballalapura thanya 

in a record dated 1598 AD from 

the local Adinarayana temple. It 

might have originated from Hoysala 

name Ballala, and later corrupted 

as Ballapura. It is also believed that 

the village has derived its name 

from the circumstance that a cow 

used to drop one `balla’ of milk 

over a certain anthill and this omen 

led to the foundation of the town. 

From `balla’ the name Ballapura 

was thus derived. 

Doddaballapur was a celebrated 

commercial centre right from the 

Hoysala period. There is also a 

view that the town was founded 

by a feudatory Malbhairegowda of 

the Avathi clan. During the period 

WWW.WISHESH.COM | NOVEMBER 2016

16 


between the 16th - 17th 

centuries, Dodballapur was 

administered by a branch 

of the Avathi clan. Towards 

1637 - 38, the place was 

occupied by the Bijapur 

Commander Ranadaula 

Khan. In 1689, it was taken 

by the Mughals, when the 

place was in the hands of 

Sambhaji, son of Shivaji, the 

latter having taken it from 

his brother Ekoji. Persian 

encryptions dated 1691 

A.D. of the Mughal Emperor 

Aurangzeb says that in the 

34th year of the reign of 

Aurangzeb (1689), the fort 

of Ballapura - kariyat was in 

the hands of Sambhaji, son 

of Shivaji and it came into the 

possession of the supreme 

Government and that in the 

34th year of the reign, it 

was granted to one Shekh 

Abdullah from Delhi. 

The place was presented as 

a Jahgir to a Muslim chief Ali 

Khuli Khan. After his death, 

his son Darga Khuli Khan, 

the Nawab of Sira, received 

the town for a temporary 

period of one year as 

Jahgir. Later, for a span 

of fifty years, the place 

was under the Nawab 

of Sira when the Nizam 

of Hyderabad took over 

administration. In 1761, 

Haider Ali annexed the 

region and subsequently 

it was passed on to the 

Wodeyars of Mysore. 

Doddaballapur was a centre 

of freedom movement 

with T.Siddalingayya, the 

first president of Mysore 

Congress hailing from here. 

Temples 

The town has important 

temples such as 

Venkataraman, 

Chowdeshwari, Ishawar, 

Someshwar, Janardan, 

Kashi Vishveshwar, 

Nagareshwar 

and Arkavati. The 

Venkataraman temple 

has a big compound. 

The compound has stucco 

decorations with impact of 

Muslim architecture. In front 

of the square Garbhagriham 

is an oblong Navarang 

having two cells with images 

of Padmavati in the left one 

and Vinayaka in the right 

one. Facing the Navaranga 

is a spacious horizontal 

Mukhamantapam having fine

the industry 

relief sculptures over its later 

Vijayanagar pillars. 

18 

Over the Hara of the 

Mukhamantapam are 

small mortar niches having 

impressive stucco figures 

depicting the Bhagavatha 

episodes. The temple has a 

spacious inner Prakaram with 

an outer Pradakshinapatham. 

At the entrance of the temple 

is Rajagopuram in recent 

style. There is a Shikara 

over the Garbhagriha built 

in Vijayanagar style. The 

temple is believed to have 

been constructed towards 

the end of 18th century by 

a local officer under Haider 

called Arunachala Panth. 

Inside the temple, over a 

platform is kept a stone 

image of Lakshminarayan in 

Vijayanagar style, measuring 

about one and a half metre 

in height, said to have 

been brought from the local 

Adinarayan temple. 

Handloom 

Industry 

The city is popularly called as 

Silk City as lot of textile and 

small scale Silk industries 

are there in the city. This 

town was once known for 

its famous hand woven silk. 

Doddaballapur was once 

known as Indian Manchester 

of textiles. Previously 

Doddaballapur was known 

for its handloom products but 

now there is not even one 

handloom. All the handlooms 

are being converted to 

power looms. Perhaps from 

the earlier times, the place 

is noted for silk weaving 

industry and many weavers 

also migrated to Bangalore 

from here. 

In Doddaballapur there is a 

place called weavers colony 

which is once known for its 

handloom products. These 

sarees are weaved in Cotton, 

silk and polyester. Due to 

the heavy cost incurring in 

handloom weaving and the 

non availability of weavers, 

once famous handlooms 

have shifted to power looms. 

New generation is not 

interested in the traditional 

weaving due to low wages. 

Process of weaving 

Doddaballapur textile 

products are well known 

for the durability of the 

colours used in the yarn. The 

mixture of colour gives the 

durability. The count used in 

weaving gives the softness 

and hardness of the fabric. 

Count means the number of 

threads used in the length 

and breadth for weaving 

known as warp and weft 

respectively. 

Dyeing 

The process of 

manufacturing a 

Doddaballapur Saree starts 

with dyeing the yarn. Dyeing 

is the coloring process of 

the yarn by dipping the yarn 

in the boiled color water in 

very high temperature, higher 

the temperature durability of 

colour is also higher. Dyeing 

of the yarn is done making 

sure that the color is spread 

uniformly throughout the 

yarn and it doesn’t affect 

the quality of the yarn. The 

coloring process is a very 

crucial step in getting a 

good colourful saree. The 

colours are applied as per 

the specifications of the 

designers and also some 

times as per the orders 

from customers who orders 

for a designer Saree. After 

coloring, the yarn is dried in 

shade. Drying yarn in sun 

can be harmful to yarn. It is 

also rolled over small sticks 

to use for weft. 

Weaving 

After dyeing and drying the 

yarn it is converted to thread 

and is loaded as warp and 

then it is loaded into the 

loom for actual weaving. 

From one warp 50 sarees 

are made. It will take 20 to 

30 days to complete weaving 

of one warp. Doddaballapur 

handloom sarees are 

woven in the interlockedweft 

technique. The design 

required on the saree is 

initially drawn in a computer 

and then this is punched into 

a card and then these cards 

are loaded in Jacard in the 

loom. The needles in the 

Jacard will control the weft 

and produce designs. 

Extinction of 

Handlooms in 

Doddaballapur 

Once famous Doddaballapur 

Handloom products are now 

extinct due to the low wages 

prevailed in the industry. 

Previously Doddaballapur 

was full of talented weavers 

who used to do magic in the 

looms to produce the best 

handloom products. Now 

you cannot see even one 

handloom in the vicinity of 

Doddaballapur. 



INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION 

KANJAR 

Nomadic tribe of Rajasthan 

Kanjar is a traditionally nomadic 

ethnic group found in North India 

and Pakistan. The community is also 

known by the names of Nath, Marwari 

Kumar, and Banchra. 

T 

The word kanjar has been 

derived from the Sanskrit 

word kanana-chara, which 

means wanderer in the 

jungle. They claim to have 

originated in Rajasthan. The 

Kanjar, then had to flee to 

the jungles to avoid Mughal 

persecution. 

The Kanjar community 

council is very strong and 

exercises a strong hold over 

the community. This caste 

council resolves disputes 

within the community and 

is headed by a mukhiya or 

chieftain, who is seen as the 

leader of the Kanjar. 

20 

According to their traditions, 

they are descended from 

a Manu Guru and his wife 

Nathiya Kanjarin. They are 

divided into four clans, the 

Callad, Superala, Diyal and 

Rachhband. A fifth group, 

the Patharkat are now 

a distinct sub-group, no 

longer inter-marrying with 

the other Kanjar groupings 

The Kanjar of India are 

Hindu and Sikh and their 

community deity is Mana, 

which is worshiped by all 

the Kanjars. The Kanjar 

could speak 4-5 languages 

along with their secret 

language called Narsi- 

Parsi. It consists of different 

sounds of animals & birds, 

coded words and signs. 

The traditional occupation 

of the Kanjar was hunting, 

but over time, many took 

to agriculture. They still 

depend on the forest, 

extracting roots of the khas 

grass and collecting reeds 

from banks of the rivers. 

From the stalks of the munji 

grass and from the roots of 

the palas tree, they make 

ropes which they sell in 

villages. The community is 

also involved in tanning of 

skins out of which drums 

are made and sold.

Rakshabhandhan, Diwali, 

Dussehra, etc. Holi is the main 

festival, celebrated for three 

days. Only Mewari and Vagri 

songs are sung by both male 

and female member of teh 

community during the festival of 

Holi. 



COVER STORY 

Vijaya Dasami 

the day of victory 

over the evil 

24 

Navratri, culminating with Dussehra, is a Hindu cultural festival 

of great importance and significance for all. It is a festival 

that is all about the goddess. In Karnataka, Dussehra is about 

Chamundi, in Bengal it is about Durga. Like this, it is about 

various goddesses in different places, but essentially it is about 

the feminine goddess or the feminine divinity. 



COVER STORY 

Vijayadashami or Dussehra 

festival is of a tremendous 

cultural significance for all 

and should be celebrated with 

gaiety and love. 

““ 

26 

Navratri is replete with 

symbolism about vanquishing 

evil and wanton nature, and 

about having reverence for 

all aspects of life and even 

for the things and objects that 

contribute to our wellbeing. 

The nine days of Navratri are 

classified as per the three 

basic qualities of tamas, 

rajas and sattva. The first 

three days are tamas, where 

the goddess is fierce, like 

Durga and Kali. The next 

three days are Lakshmi 

related – gentle but materially 

oriented goddesses. The last 

three days are dedicated to 

Saraswati, which is sattva. It 

is related to knowledge and 

enlightenment. 

After Navratri, the tenth and 

final day Vijayadashami – 

means you have conquered 

all these three qualities. You 

did not give into any of them, 

you saw through every one 

of them. You participated in 

every one of them, but you 

did not invest in any one of 

them. You won over them. 

That is Vijayadashami, the 

day of victory. This brings 

home the message of how 

being in reverence and 

gratitude towards everything 

that matters in our lives leads 

to success and victory. 

Dasara marks the festivity of 

all age groups to celebrate. 

From children to elders, 

all will participate in the 

Dussehra celebrations. There 

are two important stories 

behind Vijaya Dashami 

celebrations. One story is 

associated with Lord Ram, 

and another is associated 

with Goddess Durga. The 

festival of Dashain signifies 

the victory of good over evil. 

Dussehra was always full 

of dances, where the whole 

community mixed, met and 

mingled. 



STORY FOR KIDS 

28 

Once Nanda the leader of the Yadavas called a 

meeting of all the Yadavas. It was to discuss the safety 

of Krishna. Nanda and other elders were very much 

alarmed by the extraordinary happenings in their 

Gokula at Brihadvana. 

Gokul to 

Vrindhavana 

The frequent visits of the 

demons and their mysterious 

death caused them great 

concern. After a prolonged 

discussion the eldest among 

them, Upananda, gave a 

suggestion. 

“My dear friends, day by day 

calamities are increasing 

in our place. It is only 

by the grace of God that 

Krishna has been saved 

again and again from so 

many dangerous incidents. 

There is no guarantee that 

the dangers are over. So 

it is better that we migrate 

to some other place. I 

understand that there is 

a beautiful place called 

Vrindavan at the foot of 

the hill Govardhana. The 

forest lands surrounding the 

mountain are abundant in 

grass.” 

Getting this advice from 

Upananda, who was 

respected by the whole 

community, Nanda and the 

other Gopas welcomed the 

suggestion. They all decided 

to move to Vrindavan 

the next day with all their 

wagons and cattle wealth. 

They sorted out their 

belongings and loaded them 

in carts. All the old men and 

women sat in the carts. The 

young men walked guarding 

these carts. All the children 

and ladies also were seated 

in carts. 

Rohini, Yasoda, Krishna 

and Rama got into one cart. 



STORY FOR KIDS 

30 

Men blew trumpets and 

other instruments. All were 

wearing new clothes. The 

party looked as if they were 

on their way to attend a 

festival. After a long journey 

they reached Vrindavan. 

Rama and Krishna were 

delighted to see the beautiful 

scenes of Vrindavan, the 

Govardhana mountain 

and the sand dunes on the 

Yamuna banks. By their 

boyish pranks they continued 

to delight the Gopis and 

Gopas. 

When the two boys had 

grown a little older, they 

were entrusted with the 

grazing of the calves and 

later of the cows. They 

welcomed the assignment, 

since now they could move 

about in the outskirts with the 

other boys. In the company 

of other cowherd boys they 

took the small calves out. 

They carried with them 

numerous playthings also. 

Vrindavan was full of 

peacocks. Krishna would 

play on his flute and it was 

a sight to see the peacocks 

dancing to his music. 

Krishna and Balarama too 

would dance. The dance and 

the tinkling of the anklet bells 

would delight the hearts of 

their playmates. Sometimes 

they would cover themselves 

with blankets and imitate 

cows and bulls fighting 

with one another. They 

would mimic the cries of the 

animals. Thus they played 

about like ordinary boys 

delighting everyone. 



HEALTHY LIVING 

Balancing is the first norm of 

healthy living and discipline 

suffices the right choice of 

maintaining it. 

We are already familiar on 

the basics of acquiring an 

excellent to great health, it 

is still a matter of choice. It 

is not just on what we eat or 

do, but still an option to stick 

to the cycle of maintaining a 

health equilibrium. 

32 

Consider the old ways of life, 

people lived in the past had 

longevity. The simplicity of 

their lifestyles made it easy 

to gain satisfaction, which 

tracked contentment and 

eventually drawn happiness, 

which is another implication 

of being healthy. 

Living a life 

in a better way 

Healthy living connotes a lifestyle that 

can envelope the norms of having an “ideal 

health”. Even if your preference would be 

on anything that mother nature yields, it 

doesn’t mean you are ideally healthy. 

It doesn’t mean that we won’t 

enjoy life anymore if we do 

not commit ourselves to 

healthy living. It’s watching 

what we eat and drink, 

making sure that a balanced 

diet would suit the energy 

consumption for the day. 

Stress management and 

sleeping well can also 

contribute to an inner wellbeing. 

Getting into physical 

activities, equates our 

normal body functions 

that are crucial to prevent 

common illnesses such 

as obesity and high blood 

pressure. If we feel great, 

we tend to connect with 

others also well. We can 

better cope with difficulties 

which are explicit strains on 

our mental and emotional 

quotient. 

Healthy living is also about 

awareness. We have the 

responsibility to know 

what causes ailments or 

any disorder that may 

compromise our well-being 

and should be taking actions 

to prevent it. 

Seeking professional help or 

subscribing to blogs from a 

health guru are great ways 

to keep us well-informed 

about the right choice of 

health program or products. 

Health commodities are 

iconic to nature’s produce. 

It is manufactured to blend 

with the lifestyle of the new 

generation, which is fast 

or always on the run. It 

takes away the hassles of 

the old way of preparation, 

but making sure that it still 

comprises a healthy content, 

which means it’s syntheticfree. 

Everyone agrees about 

the importance of healthy 

living and even if there is an 

overflowing information on 

how to go about it, it will only 

become beneficial by having 

the right attitude towards it.

Khosla 

co-founder of 

Sun Microsystems 

Vinod Khosla was born on 28 January 1955 and is an 

Indian/American businessman. Khosla made his early 

fortune as one of the co-founders of Sun Microsystems, 

where he was the founding CEO and chairman in the early 

1980s. Khosla’s father was an officer in the Indian Army and 

was posted at New Delhi, India. 

At the age of 16, Vinod Khosla 

read about the founding of 

Intel. This motivated him to 

nurture dreams of starting his 

own technology company.

Indian 

NRI IMMIGRATION 

students 

The number of Indian 

students applying to study 

in the UK has dropped by 

almost around 45,000 over 

the past two to three years, 

according to UK universities 

and recruitment agencies. 

Experts have pinned the 

UK government’s decision 

to scrap the post-study 

work visa back in 2012 

as one of the catalysts 

behind the decline. A push 

for immigration reforms, 

including a reduction in net 

migration figures, have led to 

an atmosphere where foreign 

students feel unwelcome. 

Prime Minister Theresa May, 

who rose to the position 

following the Brexit vote, 

considers international 

students as immigrants. 

Prior to the implementation 

of stricter visa policies, 

Indian students wished to 

study in the UK in order to 

find work to help pay off the 

student debt accrued to study 

overseas. Since the poststudy 

visa was given the axe, 

foreign students have only 

four months to secure a job 

earning an annual income of 

at least £20,800. 

“Those with limited means are 

no longer applying because 

of strict visa policies. Once a 

course is over, students want 

to work in the UK to be able 

to pay off education loans 

and that isn’t happening now. 

Brexit is also a factor in this 

decline,” Naveen Chopra, 

co-founder of The Chopras, 

a New Delhi-based study 

abroad consultant agency 

said. 

“Decline in work 

opportunities, along with 

an uncertain economy and 

stricter immigration policies, 

will make the UK less 

attractive for many Indian 

students,” Rahul Choudaha, 

CEO of DrEducation, a USbased 

global higher education 

research firm said. 

“After Brexit, UK universities 

and other funding agencies, 

such as the British Council, 

are likely to get aggressive in 

terms of offering scholarships, 

full or partial, to attract Indian 

students. The number of UK 

varsities coming to India to 

woo students has gone up. 

Their education policy will 

focus on welcoming students 

from all over and will have 

to think out-of-the-box to get 

in more Indian students,” 

Sanjeev Roy, a higher 

education expert said. 

Admission Decline Post 

brexit in UK 

India is one of the world’s leading source countries for 

the international students, second only to China. UK has 

traditionally been one of the most popular study destinations 

for Indian students, this trend has seen a downturn over the 

past few years.

Falling ISIS using 

human shields 

40 

The Islamic State group appears to be using 

tens of thousands of people as “human shields” 

in and around Mosul, where Iraqi forces are 

waging a large-scale offensive aimed at 

retaking the country’s second largest city, the 

UN human rights office said. 

I 

It said “credible reports” 

suggest that IS has been 

forcing tens of thousands 

from their homes in districts 

around Mosul. 

“ISIL’s depraved, cowardly 

strategy is to attempt to 

use the presence of civilian 

hostages to render certain 

points, areas or military 

forces immune from military 

operations, effectively using 

tens of thousands of women, 

men and children as human 

shields,” spokeswoman 

Ravina Shamdasani said in 

Geneva. 

US Air Force Brig Gen 

Matthew C Isler said the 

US-led coalition conducted 

“precision strikes” on vehicles 

that were unoccupied and 

far away from civilians. “We 

were able to do that without 

harming any civilians and 

we verified we were able to 

degrade their planned use 

of those vehicles,” he said. 

He added that the forced 

displacement was another 

example of the group’s 

“atrocities.” 

ISIS has abducted 8,000 

families from the sub-districts 

around Mosul since the 

military operation began 

12 days ago, the UN said, 

including al-Shura district 

where Iraqi forces reported 

Friday that they have 

launched an offensive to 

recapture the town. 

“ISIL fighters are allegedly 

killing civilians who refuse 

to comply with ISIL’s 

instructions or who previously 

belonged to the Iraqi 

Security Forces, including 

232 civilians who were shot 

to death last Wednesday,” 

Ravina Shamdasani, 

spokesperson for the UN 

High Commissioner for 

Human Rights, told reporters 

in Geneva. 

Colonel John Dorrian, 

spokesperson for the global 

anti-ISIS coalition, said that in 

at least one incident, coalition 

forces has carried out an 

airstrike that destroyed ISIS 

vehicles before they could 

take civilians as hostages. 

But he did not give further 

details about the location or 

the date. 

One hundred and ninety 

former Iraqi Security Forces 

were killed in the al-Ghazlani 

military base in Mosul. They 

were among the 232 killed, 

the UN reported. The rest, 

who numbered 42 civilians, 

were killed at al-Izza military 

base when they refused to 

join the terrorist group.

Pakistani terrorists 

attacks Uri Army posts 

Four Pakistani terrorists, have killed 19 soldiers in one of the the 

bloodiest attacks on an army camp in Uri on 18 September 2016, in 

the state of Jammu and Kashmir. They had used a ladder to scale the 

electrified fence at the LoC. 

42 

Investigation carried out 

by the army identified the 

infiltration route of the 

four terrorists has led it 

to conclude that a ladder 

was used near Salamabad 

nallah, official sources said. 

“A group of heavily armed 

terrorists targeted the rear 

administrative base of a 

unit at Uri, Kashmir. In the 

counter action, four terrorists 

were eliminated and 

combing operations are in 

progress,” the Army said in a 

statement. 

“The administrative base 

had large strength of troops 

of units turning over after 

their tour of duty who 

were stationed in tents/ 

temporary shelters which 

caught fire, and resulted in 

heavy casualties. We salute 

the sacrifice of 17 soldiers 

who were martyred in the 

operation.” 

Pakistani terrorist group 

Jaish-e-Mohammed 

is suspected of being 

involved in the planning and 

execution of the attack. 

At around 5:30 a.m. on 18 

September, four militants 

attacked an Indian Army 

brigade headquarters in Uri, 

near the Line of Control in 

a pre-dawn ambush. They 

were said to have lobbed 17 

grenades in three minutes. 

As a rear administrative 

base camp with tents caught 

fire, 17 army personnel were 

killed. A gun battle ensued 

lasting six hours, during 

which all the four militants 

were killed. An additional 

19-30 soldiers were reported 

to have been injured in the 

attack. 

Combing operations 

continued to flush out 

additional terrorists thought 

to be alive. Most of the 

soldiers killed were from 

the 10 Dogra and 6 Bihar 

regiments. One of the 

injured soldiers succumbed 

to his injuries on 19 

September at R&R Hospital 

in New Delhi, followed 

by another soldier on 24 

September, bringing the 

death toll to 19. 

The casualties were 

primarily believed to have 

occurred as a result of nonfire 

retardant transition tents. 

This was the time of a troops 

shift, whereby the 6 Bihar 

regiment was replacing 

the 10 Dogra regiment. 

The incoming troops were 

housed in tents, which are 

normally avoided in sensitive 

areas around LOC like Uri. 

The attackers sneaked into 

the camp breaching heavy 

security and seemed to 

know exactly where to strike. 

Seven of the personnel 

killed were support staff, 

including cooks and barbers. 

“ 

The Director General of military operations, Lieutenant-General 

Ranbir Singh, said that there was evidence that the attackers belonged to 

Jaish-e-Mohammad. He established a hotline contact with his Pakistani 

counterpart and conveyed India serious concern on the issue. Lieutenant 

General Ranbir Singh has also stated that the militants used incendiary 

ammunition to set fire to the tents.

IN BUSINESS 

“GST will involve 

compromises, but this is 

a sub-optimal solution.

with multiple rates leading 

to compliance and 

administrative complexities,” 

M. Govind Rao, member 

of the Fourteenth Finance

GST council 

suggest 4 tax slabs 

and 

cess for luxury items 

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council’s two-day meeting 

that ended on Wednesday, but did not finally arrive at an 

agreement on the GST rates. The finance ministry had 

proposed a four-slab structure (6-12-18-26 percent) and there 

is near-unanimity on this. 

The proposed 4-tier 

GST structure may hit 

the common man as it 

is likely to result in the 

higher taxes on various 

items including the kitchen 

staples such as edible oils, 

spices and chicken. The 

prices of certain consumer 

durables like televisions, 

air conditioners, fridges 

and washing machines 

may become cheaper with 

decrease in taxes. 

The lowest rate proposed is 

6 percent, with two standard 

rates of 12 and 18 percent. 

The peak rate, which will 

mostly apply to FMCG and 

consumer durables, will be 

26 percent. A cess is also 

likely to be levied on demerit 

or sin goods and polluting 

items. 

Salt, bread, fresh fruit and 

vegetables, eggs, milk, 

curd, blood, prasad, the 

national flag, kumkum, 

bindi-sindoor, glass bangles, 

even contraceptives, all will 

continue to enjoy a taxfree 

run under the proposed 

goods and services tax 

(GST) regime. 

“The exemption list is to be 

pruned,” said a government 

official outlining the broad 

principle that will be followed 

in deciding what doesn’t get 

taxed under GST. But “those 

items that are exempted 

under value added tax will 

likely remain out of the tax 

net.” “The list of exempted 

items cannot be very long 

but those that are considered 

of common essential use 

would be kept out,” the 

official said. 

Under the proposed 4-slab 

structure, the items which 

are currently taxed between 

3-9 percent will fall in the 

6 percent bracket; those in 

9-15 percent range will come 

under 12 percent rate. Those 

products which are currently 

taxed between 15-21 percent 

would attract 18 percent 

levy, while those above 21 

percent would be taxed at 

the peak rate of 26 percent. 

GST seeks to replace 

multiple central and state 

taxes on goods and services 

such as excise duty, service 

tax, value added tax, entry 

tax, purchase tax with one 

levy and create a seamless 

national market.

Shyamji Krishna varma or Shyamji Krishna 

Nakhua was an Indian revolutionary fighter, 

lawyer and journalist who had founded the 

Indian Home Rule Society, India House and The 

Indian Sociologist in London. 

Shyamaji Krishna Varma was born 

on 4 October 1857 in Mandvi, 

Kutch province as Shamji, the son 

of Karsan Bhanushali (Karsan 

Nakhua; Nakhua is the surname 

while Bhanushali is the community 

name), a labourer for cotton press 

company, and Gomatibai, who 

died when Shyamaji was only 11 

years old. He was raised by his 

grandmother. 

His ancestors belongs to 

Bhachunda, a village of Abdhasa 

taluka of Kutch district. They 

migrated to Mandvi in search 

of employment and because of 

family disputes. After completing 

secondary education in Bhuj 

he went to Mumbai for further 

education at Wilson High School. 

While in Mumbai, he learnt 

Sanskrit. 

In 1875 Shyamaji got married 

to Bhanumati, a daughter of a 

wealthy businessman of the 

Bhatia community. Then he got in 

touch with the nationalist Swami 

Dayananda Saraswati, a radical 

reformer and an exponent of 

Vedas, who had founded Arya 

Samaj. He became his disciple 

and was soon conducting lectures

In 1877, a public speaking 

tour secured him a great 

public recognition all over 

Bharat. He became the first 

non-Brahmin to receive the 

prestigious title of Pandit by 

the Pandits of Kashi in 1877. 

He came to the attention of 

Monier Williams, an Oxford 

professor of Sanskrit who 

offered Shyamaji a job as his 

assistant. 

A graduate from Balliol 

College, Krishna Varma was 

a noted scholar in Sanskrit 

and other Indian languages. 

He pursued a brief legal 

career in India and served 

as the Divan of a number 

of Indian princely states in 

India. Due to differences 

with the Crown authority, he 

was dismissed following a 

supposed conspiracy of local 

British officials at Junagadh 

and chose to return to 

England. 

An admirer of Dayanand 

Saraswati’s approach of

LIFE STYLE 

In this busy, work-obsessed culture, people frequently forget 

to show the necessary tender loving care to their minds and 

bodies. Grabbing food that’s easy instead of healthy is a frequent 

symptom of life-on-the-go. Everyone can afford to spend a little 

more energy in maintaining their overall wellness. 

Below are some tips to 

feel better and live better. 

fiber and promote energy and weight 

loss. Soaking them facilitates easy 

digestion. 

56 

Feel Better 

Juicing extracts the water and nutrients 

from vegetables, leaving behind the 

fibers. This way, your body can best 

absorb the nutrients without having to 

digest the dense ingredients. 

Sweating helps the body get rid itself of 

unwanted materials and aids circulation. 

In medieval times, healers relied on 

saunas to cure illnesses and priests 

channeled the heat to chase away evil 

spirits. 

Water accelerates movement through 

our system; cleansing out waste and 

toxins, plumping up cell count, and 

clearing skin. 

Learn to trust your cravings, rather than 

attributing them to weaknesses. With 

a craving, your body typically sends 

signals to your brain for nutrients it 

needs. 

Each person has unique lifestyle and 

dietary needs. It’s not because carbs 

are “bad” or your body isn’t as healthy; 

people just metabolize foods differently. 

Knowing the foods that are ideal for 

your metabolism will help you embrace 

feel-good ingredients. 

By preparing your own meals, you’ll eat 

for satiety and be less likely to overeat 

due to heaping portions. Home cooking 

will keep you from consuming excess 

salt or flavoring condiments, as you 

would at a restaurant. 

Sleep regenerates your body and 

stabilizes energy and appetite for the 

next day. People who are more wellrested 

lose weight at a higher metabolic 

rate than the perpetually sleepdeprived. 

When you’re sleepy, the 

same hormones drive appetite. 

Live Better 

An effective way to cut out unhealthy 

foods from your diet is the crowding out 

principle that suggests you to add more 

to your diet rather than taking foods 

away. Increase your intake of nutritious 

foods and your body will have less room 

to process nutrient-deficient foods. 

When your body efficiently detoxifies 

and rids toxins, energy will burn 

calories. 

Hope these simple tips can help you 

feel better and live better. Having a

RELATIONSHIP 

Having a perfect 

relationship is 

actually luck 

58 

Communication is a key part to building 

a perfect relationship. The first step is 

making sure both of you want and expect 

the same things and being on the same 

page is very important. 

Creating boundaries is a good 

way to keep your relationship 

healthy and secure. By 

setting boundaries together, 

you can both have a deeper 

understanding of the type of 

relationship that you and your 

partner want. 

In a healthy relationship, if 

something is bothering you, 

it’s best to talk about it instead 

of holding it in. Your partner’s 

wishes and feelings have 

value. Let your significant other 

know that you are making 

an effort to keep their ideas 

in mind. Mutual respect is 

essential in maintaining healthy 

relationships. 

Disagreements are a natural 

part of healthy relationships, but 

it’s important that you find a way 

to compromise, if you disagree 

on something. Try to solve 

conflicts in a fair and rational 

way. Offer reassurance 

and encouragement to 

your partner. Let your 

partner know when you 

need their support. Healthy 

relationships are about 

building each other up, not 

putting each other down. 

Just because you’re in 

a relationship, doesn’t 

mean you have to share 

everything and constantly 

be together. Healthy 

relationships require space. 

Every healthy relationships 

can use a boost now and 

then. You may need a boost 

if you feel disconnected 

from your partner or like 

the relationship has gotten 

stale. If so, find a fun, simple 

activity you both enjoy, like 

going on a walk and talk about 

the reasons why you want to 

be in the relationship. 

Healthy relationships are 

based upon each person 

having a relationship 

with him-or-herself. The 

relationship with the self is 

the basic building block of a 

relationship. If one does not 

have a relationship with the 

self, it is truly impossible to 

have a healthy relationship; 

it will not be possible to be 

honest with the “other” if one 

is not in contact with oneself. 

This relationship with the self 

is a source of pleasure and 

expansion and needs time 

and nurturing in order to grow. 

In order to have a relationship 

with the self, it is necessary to 

have quiet time alone, time to 

enrich one’s own spirituality. 

A healthy relationship is an 

open system, which means 

that both information that is 

external to the parties and 

the relationship are sought, 

listened to, and resolved. 

Therefore, in healthy 

relationships, choices are 

very important,, and the 

generation of options opens 

the possibility to growth and 

creativity. 



LOVE & ROMANCE 

Tips for an effective 

Romance 

60 

Romance is the mutual or genuine 

display of affection in all forms. 

Companionship and joy in each other is 

the direct result of romance. It has the 

power to draw couples closer together. 

It is that pleasant feeling that you get 

when you know your man or woman is 

really committed to you. 



LOVE & ROMANCE 

62 

Sweet words that are sexually 

charged to your partner 

are very romantic. You just 

have to be subtle and read 

the mood. There are people 

who are simply turned on by 

beautiful words and there 

is nothing more romantic. 

Whisper the words to their ear 

because, how you say it also 

matters. Make sure that your 

tone is pleasant. 

Make sure that your body 

language shows romance. 

Touching a woman gently 

on her cheek without any 

fuss will be very exciting to 

her. You need to make sure 

that your eyes tell it all. Your 

hands should wander in all 

the right places all in a gentle 

manner. Romance takes 

time and it is almost like a 

communication that does not 

need words. 

Buying flowers is one of the 

oldest ways of being romantic 

however, you can personalize 

the gift. Find out what your 

partner likes and make sure 

that you surprise them at 

every opportunity. Romance 

is not something you do once 

or during occasions and just 

forget. It is something that you 

have do continuously if you 

want your union to blossom at 

all times. 

Therefore, you do not need 

to spend a lot of money to 

show this very basic emotion. 

If it comes from the heart, it is 

good enough. True affection 

is not complicated at all; it 

simply comes with no strings 

attached.

INDIAN TRAVELOGUE 

Prior to the mid 15th century, 

the region that is now Bikaner 

was a barren wilderness called 

Jangladesh. 

Bikaner 

the city of Historical 

reminiscences 

64 

Bikaner is one of the three main destinations in 

Rajasthan in the Desert circuit and a royal fortified city 

with a timeless appeal of royal aura. Bikaner is a District 

in the northwest of the state of Rajasthan in northern 

India. It is located 330 kilometers (205 miles) northwest 

of the state capital, Jaipur. It was formerly the capital of 

the princely state of Bikaner. 

The city was founded by Rao 

Bika in 1486 and from its 

small origins it has developed 

into the fourth largest city 

in Rajasthan. Bikaner is 

well connected by road, rail 

and air links to the rest of 

the country. The Junagarh 

Fort in Bikaner is the best 

maintained and provides 

guides to the visitor which is to 

be appreciated. 

History of Bikaner 

Prior to the mid 15th century, 

the region that is now Bikaner 

was a barren wilderness called 

Jangladesh. In 1488 Rao Bika 

established the city of Bikaner. 

Rao Bika was the second son 

of Maharaja Rao Jodha of 

the Rathor clan, the founder 

of Jodhpur and conquered 

the largely arid country in 

the north of Rajasthan. As 

the second son of Jodha, he 

had no chance of inheriting 

Jodhpur from his father 

or the title of Maharaja. 

Therefore he decided to build 



66 


his own kingdom in what is 

now the state of Bikaner in the 

area of Jangladesh. Though 

it was in the Thar Desert, 

Bikaner was considered 

an oasis on the trade route 

between Central Asia and 

the Gujarat coast as it had 

adequate spring water. Bika’s 

name was attached to the 

city he built and to the state 

of Bikaner (“the settlement 

of Bika”) that he established. 

Bika built a fort in 1478, which 

is now in ruins and 100 years 

later a new fort was built 

about 1.5 km from the city 

centre which is known as the 

Junagarh Fort. Around 100 

years after Rao Bika founded 

Bikaner the region’s fortunes 

flourished under the sixth 

Raja, Rai Singhji. During the 

Mughal Empire’s rule in the 

country, Rai Singh accepted 

the suzerainty of the Mughals 

and held a high position of 

an army general in the court 

of Emperor Akbar and his 

son Emperor Jahangir. His 

successful military exploits, 

which involved winning half 

of Mewar kingdom for the 

empire, won him accolades 

and rewards from the Mughal 

emperors. He was an expert 

in the arts and architecture 

and the knowledge that he 

acquired during his visits 

abroad are amply reflected in 

the numerous monuments he 

built in the Junagarh fort. 

Karan Singh who ruled from 

Laxmi Niwas Palace 

1631 to 1639, under the 

suzerainty of the Mughals, 

built the Karan Mahal 

palace. Later rulers added 

more floors and decorations 

to this Mahal. Anup Singh, 

who ruled from 1669–98, 

made substantial additions 

to the fort complex, with new 

palaces and the Zenana 

quarter (royal dwelling for 

females). He refurbished the 

Lalgarh Palace 

Karan Mahal with a Diwan-i- 

Am (public audience hall) and 

called it the Anup Mahal. Gaj 

Singh who ruled from 1746 to 

1787 refurbished the Chand 

Mahal (the Moon palace). 

Following him, Surat Singh 

ruled from 1787 to 1828 and 

he lavishly decorated the 

audience hall with glass and 

lively paintwork. Dungar Singh 

who reigned from 1872 to 1887 

built the Badal Mahal (the 

weather palace) named so in 

view of a painting of falling rain 

and clouds. Ganga Singh who 

ruled from 1887 to 1943 built 

Bikaner Junagarh Fort 

the Ganga Niwas Palace, 

which has towers at the 

entrance patio. This palace 

was designed by Sir Samuel 

Swinton Jacob. Ganga 

Singh’s son Sadul Singh 

succeeded his father in 1943 

but acceded to the Union of 

India in 1949. 

Ganga Singh has also built a 

new palace north of Junagarh 

fort which was designed 

and built by Swinton, the 

third of the new palaces 

built in Bikaner. He named 

the building Lalgarh Palace 

in honour of his father and 

moved his residence from 

Junagarh fort to this palace 

in 1902. The royal family 

still lives in a special suite 

in the Lalgarh palace, which 

they have converted into a 

heritage hotel. 

Bikaner Junagarh Fort 

The fort was built by Raja 

Rai Singh, the sixth ruler of 

Bikaner who reigned from 

1571 to 1612. Rai Singh had 

conquered part of Marwar and 

had been granted territory in 

Gujarat and Burhanpur by 

the Mughal emperor Akbar 

as a reward for his services 

as military commander. 

This, as well as funding 

from Jodhpur, enabled him 

to build the fort. Rai Singh 

held high rank in the imperial 

courts of both Akbar and 

his successor, Jahangir. 

During his imperial service 

he traveled extensively, 

giving him an appreciation of 

art and architecture. These 

ideas have been incorporated 

meticulously into the 

architectural style of Junagarh 

Fort. 

Laxmi Niwas Palace 

The Laxmi Niwas Palace is 

a former residential palace 

of the king of the former 

Bikaner state, Maharajah 

Ganga Singh. It was designed 

by the British architect, Sir 

Samuel Swinton Jacob in 

the year 1902. The style 

of architecture is Indo- 

Saracenic. It is now a luxury 

hotel owned by Golden 

Triangle Fort & Palace P. Ltd. 

Lalgarh Palace 

Lalgarh Palace was built 

between 1902 and 1926 

according to Rajput, Mughal 

and European architectural 

styles. The building was 

commissioned by Maharaja 

Ganga Singh in memory of 

his father Maharaja Lall Singh 

and was designed by the 

British architect, Sir Swinton 

Jacob. It is coated in red 

sandstone and has several 

grand halls, lounges, cupolas 

and pavilions. The building 

features magnificent pillars, 

elaborate fireplaces, Italian 

colonnades and intricate 

latticework and filigree work. 

The palace houses the Shri 

Sadul Museum as well as a 

large and important collection

INDIAN HISTORY 

70 

Indian 

Paleolithic Era 

The prehistory of India goes back to the old Stone 

age (Palaeolithic). While India lies at the eastern 

limit of the hand axe distribution, there are 

numerous Acheulean findspots. Hathnora, in the 

Narmada Valley has produced hominid remains of 

middle Pleistocene date. 



INDIAN HISTORY 

The Palaeolithic Age in India 

is divided into three phases 

in accordance with the type 

of stone tools used by the 

people and also according 

to the nature of climatic 

change. The first phase 

is called Early or Lower 

Palaeolithic, the second 

Middle Palaeolithic, and the 

third Upper Palaeolithic. 

72 

Until further and adequate 

information is available 

about the Bori artefacts, the 

first phase may be placed 

broadly between 600,000 

and 150,000 BC, the second 

between 150,000 and 35,000 

BC, and the third between 

35,000 and 10,000 BC. 

Nagarjunakonda in Andhra 

Pradesh is an important 

site, and the caves and rock 

shelters of Bhimbetka near 

Bhopal also show features of 

the Lower Palaeolithic age. 

The broken skull specimen 

of Homo erectus is first 

& only of its kind in India. 

This skull was discovered 

on 5th December, 1982 in 

the middle of the Narmada 

valley in Hathnora, Madhya 

Pradesh. It is the most 

ancient human remnant 

so far discovered in Indian 

subcontinent and it was 

discovered in situ which 

allow a precise determination 

of its stratigraphic, 

palaeontological and cultural 

context all attributable to the 

Middle Pleistocene (around 

500,000 years ago) age in 

the geological time scale. 

Recent finds include a 

middle palaeolithic quarry 

in the Kaladgi Basin, 

southern India. A tradition 

of Indian rock art dates 

to 40 or 50,000 years 

ago. Survey has resulted 

in the identification of 

191 Middle Palaeolithic 

localities along the margins 

of the Malaprabha and 

Ghataprabha rivers. 

Paleolithic peoples probably 

roamed Afghanistan as 

early as 100,000 BC. The 

earliest definite evidence 

of human occupation was 

found in the cave of Darra-i- 

Kur in Badakhshan, where a 

transitional Neanderthal skull 

fragment in association with 

Mousterian-type tools was 

discovered. The remains 

are of the Middle Paleolithic, 

dating about 30,000 years 

ago. Caves near Aq Kopruk 

yielded evidence of an 

early Neolithic culture (c. 

9000-6000 BC) based on 

domesticated animals. 

The earliest evidence of 

Paleolithic human presence 

in the Indo-Pakistani 

subcontinent consists of 

stone implements found 

scattered around the Soan 

River Valley in northern 

Pakistan. Despite the lack 

of fossil evidence, these 

tools appear to indicate the 

presence of hominids in the 

subcontinent as early as 

200,000 to 400,000 years 

ago and thus are likely to 

have been associated with 

archaic Homo species. 

Pakistan lies on the 

postulated southern 

coastal route followed by 

anatomically modern homo 

sapiens out of Africa and so 

may have been inhabited 

by modern humans as early 

as 60,000 to 70,000 years 

ago. There is evidence of 

cave dwellers in Pakistan’s 

northwest frontier, but fossil 

evidence from the Paleolithic 

has been fragmentary. 



TECHNOLOGY 

Google Pixel XL 

Aiming High 

74 

The new Google Pixel and Pixel XL, are aiming right for 

the top of the market. It isn’t a stretch to say that Google 

is targeting Apple, the segmentation, pricing and even 

design of its two models are pretty much direct equivalents 

of Apple’s lineup. It’s a bit of a mashup of designs from 

Apple, Samsung, and HTC. 



TECHNOLOGY

The front is glass, 

with a lot of space 

above and below 

the screen. The

patch of glass on 

the upper third of 

the rear. 

Main specifications : 

The Pixel siblings have essentially 

identical specs apart from screen size, 

resolution, and battery capacity. There’s 

a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 

821 SoC with two 2.15GHz cores and two 

1.6GHz cores for efficiency, along with 

integrated Adreno 530 graphics. Both 

models have 4GB of RAM and either 32 

or 128GB of fixed storage. 32GB unit had 

29.7GB of usable space. Considering the 

lack of microSD expansion, 128GB might 

be the better bet for some in the long 

term. 

The Pixel XL has a 5.5-inch 1440x2560- 

pixel screen, whereas the Pixel steps 

down to a 5-inch panel at 1080x1920. 

Both promise 100 percent NTSC colour 

gamut reproduction and true blacks, and

INDIAN VAASTU CORNER 

However avoid locating underground water 

resource in the South, South-east, South-west 

or North-west because these directions are 

inauspicious for under-ground water and only 

lead to heavy losses. 

82 

WATER POINT 

The placement of well or 

tube-well in a house should 

be proper, so as to gain 

profits and over-all prosperity. 

There are some set of rules 

that are involved in Vastu for 

the location of under-ground 

well or tube-well. It has 

been observed that well or 

tube-well, if placed in wrong 

direction leads to numerous 

problems in terms of health, 

wealth and prosperity. Thus 

it is important to give water 

its essential space so as to 

counteract negative energies 

and making the environment 

positive. 

Where to locate 

South-west or North-west 

because these directions are 

inauspicious for under-ground 

water and only lead to heavy 

losses. 

Problems, if well-or tubewell 

is located in wrong 

direction: 

* Wealth loss 

* Low virility 

* Sexual problems in male 

member 

* Enemy trouble 

* Quarrel with children 

for abundance 

Water is one of the significant elements 

among Panchbhootas that constitute the 

entire concept of Vastu-Shastra. 

Some ideal directions for 

water resource: 

* North 

* North-east 

* East 

However avoid locating 

underground water resource 

in the South, South-east, 

* Death in extreme cases 

* Problems in female 

members or no female in 

family 

Therefore it is best to make 

well/tube-well in proper 

location to avoid any kind of 

mishap or loss.

Verse meaning 

Thus knowing oneself to be 

transcendental to material 

senses, mind and intelligence, 

one should control the lower 

self by the higher self and thusby 

spiritual strength-conquer 

this insatiable enemy known as 

lust. 

Explanation 

In the material existence of 

life, one is certainly influenced 

by the propensities for lust 

and desire for dominating the 

resources of material nature. 

Desire for sense gratification 

is the greatest enemies of 

the conditioned soul. By the 

strength of devotion and 

dedication, one can control the 

material senses, the mind and 

the intelligence. 

One may not give up work 

and prescribed duties all of 

a sudden; but by gradually 

developing devotion, one can 

be situated in a transcendental 

position without being 

influenced by the material 

senses and the mind-by steady 

intelligence directed toward 

pure identity. 

In the immature stage 

of material existence, 

philosophical speculations and 

artificial attempts to control 

the senses by the so-called 

practice of yogic postures 

can never help a man toward 

spiritual life. He must be 

trained in devotional services 

by higher intelligence. 

Modifications such as desire 

which is instigated by the 

senses and agitates the body 

and lust which is inflamed 

The method of destroying the 

great enemy known as kama 

or lust is learned through the 

knowledge of Vedic scriptures 

received from the words of the 

spiritual master. Controlling 

the five senses is the key step 

in allowing one to benefit from 

this Vedic knowledge. 

Without restraint of the senses 

one has no possibility of 

conquering kama. The senses 

are superior to the physical 

body, the mind is superior to 

senses, the intellect is superior 

to the mind and the atma or 

soul is superior to the intellect. 

Moksa or liberation from the 

cycle of birth and death is 

not possible from studying 

various verses in diverse Vedic 

scriptures in different contexts.

various rituals are followed and 

Goddess Lakshmi along with several 

other Gods and Goddesses are 

worshipped. Goddess Lakshmi is 

the most significant deity during the 

Diwali Puja. The new moon day, 

which is known as Amavasya, is 

the most significant day of five days 

of Diwali festivities and known as 

Lakshmi Puja, Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja 

and Diwali Puja. 

Diwali Puja is a very significant 

day for the most traditional Hindu 

businessmen. On this day, ink bottle, 

pens and new account books are 

worshipped. Ink bottle and pen, 

which are called Davat and Lekhani 

respectively, are sanctified by 

worshipping Goddess Maha Kali on 

them. New account books, which are 

called Bahi-Khate, are sanctified by 

worshipping Goddess Saraswati on 

them. 

The most auspicious time to do 

Diwali Puja is after sunset. The time 

period after sunset is known as 

Pradosh. The day of Diwali Puja is 

decided when the Amavasya Tithi 

prevails during Pradosh. No other 

Diwali Puja Muhurat is as good 

as Puja Muhurat during Pradosh 

even if it is available for one Ghati 

(approximately 24 minutes). 



INDIAN EVENTS 

Diwali is one of the biggest festival 

of Hindus, celebrated with great 

enthusiasm and happiness. The 

festival is celebrated for five 

continuous days, where the third 

days is celebrated as the main Diwali 

festival or ‘Festival of lights’. 

Different colorful varieties of 

fireworks are associated with this 

festival. On this auspicious day, 

people light up diyas and candles all 

around their house. They perform 

Laxmi Puja in the evening and seek 

divine blessings of Goddess of 

Wealth. 

88 

Before Diwali night, people clean, 

renovate and decorate their homes 

and offices. On Diwali night, people 

dress up in new clothes or their 

best outfit, light up diyas (lamps and 

candles) inside and outside their 

home, participate in family puja 

(prayers) typically to Lakshmi – the 

goddess of fertility and prosperity. 

After puja, fireworks follow, then 

a family feast including mithai 

(sweets), and an exchange of gifts 

between family members and close 

friends. Deepavali also marks a 

major shopping period in nations 

where it is celebrated. 

On the same night that Hindus 

celebrate Diwali, Jains celebrate a 

festival also called Diwali to mark the 

attainment of moksha by Mahavira, 

Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to

Mirzya 

102 

3/5 

Story : 

Mirzya is a poetic 

experience and 

can be given 

a shot for the 

stupendous 

performances and 

flawless narration. 

Harshavardhan 

Kapoor makes an 

impressive debut 

as an actor. 

Mirzya is an epic love saga which 

has been based on Punjabi 

folklore Mirza Sahiban. Mirzya is 

all about two love stories set in 

different eras play out in the highly 

poetic Mirzya. The first is set in the 

ancient times where clan wars and 

men on horseback battling with 

bows and arrows are common and 

the other is a forbidden courtship 

is set in the contemporary times 

where a modern prince has 

created a business empire by 

converting his palace into a hotel. 

Watch Mirzya to know about what 

happens completely and exactly. 

Analysis : 

The first half of Mirzya starts 

with a bang and the movie has 

its loud moments. It is Rakeysh 

Omprakash Mehra’s narration that 

has been grand and loud all over. 

It never lets you down and the 

performances throughout the film 

take Mirzya to the next unusual 

level. It is the screenplay which 

makes the film interesting on the 

whole. The interval episodes raise 

the heat all over and on the whole 

the entire first half of Mirzya is a 

treat. 

However the second half has a 

huge dose of drama which makes 

the film fall down. Though the 

performances by the lead actors 

elevate the film once again, the film 

fails to make much impact.On the 

whole the second half of Mirzya 

has been decent and is worth 

watching. 

Final Word: 

Mirzya is a poetic experience 

and can be given a shot for the 

stupendous performances and 

flawless narration. Harshavardhan 

Kapoor makes an impressive debut 

as an actor.

Story : 

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is the story

fulfilling his father’s dream though 

he loves singing. He happens to

Analysis :

Sharma steal the show with their 

flawless performances throughout 

the movie. With an interesting 

interval bang, the first half of Ae Dil 

Hai Mushkil makes a decent one

The second half of the movie has 

been dragged much and it turns 

boring in process. Some of the 

episodes look repeating and the 

audience get irritated because of 

the runtime. The movie picks back 

during the last half an hour which 

has been completely emotional and 

worth watching. On the whole the 

second half of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Analysis :

Story : 

Ajay Devgn 

focuses 

much on 

action and 

lavish visuals 

leaving 

behind the 

emotional 

drama 

which 

has been 

crucial. 

Shivaay is the story of a dare devil 

mountaineer Shivaay (Ajay Devgn) 

and during a trek, Shivaay falls in 

love with a Bulgarian tourist Olga 

(Erika Kaar) after which the duo 

turn intimate. The result is a baby 

which Olga refuses to raise and 

returns back to Bulgaria. Shivaay 

names the child Guara (Abigail 

Eames) and after nine years, she 

comes to know that her mom is 

alive. Shivaay and Gaura flies 

to Bulgaria after which the real 

danger knocks them. The rest of 

Shivaay is all about how they fight 

against and locate Olga. Watch 

the film to know about the rest. 

The first half of Shivaay has been 

dead slow and it tests the patience 

of the audience completely. The 

slow pace kills the film’s flavour 

despite of the grand visuals 

throughout. The film has been shot 

in beautiful locales and is made 

on a lavish budget. However the 

emotional drama has been quite 

poor and some of the episodes look 

completely unusual. On the whole 

with an interesting interval bang, 

the first half of Shivaay has its 

moments but it is a disappointment 

for sure. 

The second half of the movie has 

enough dose of action episodes 

and VFX effects which have been 

perfectly blended on screen. 

However the movie lacks the 

needed soul for the audience to 

get emotionally connected. This 

kills the complete flavour of the 

film and most of the episodes have 

been dragged much. The climax 

looks too lengthy and without many 

interesting episodes, the second 

half of Shivaay is strictly for Ajay 

Devgn’s fans. 

Final Word: 

Ajay Devgn focuses much on 

action and lavish visuals leaving 

behind the emotional drama which 

has been crucial. Shivaay is strictly 

for Ajay Devgn’s fans and the film 

leaves you low.

Premam is a film 

that should be sure 

given a watch for 

the stupendous 

performances 

and the clean 

narration. Clean 

entertainment, 

pure emotions and 

heart touching 

love stories

Story : 

Premam is the story of a young 

guy Vikki (Naga Chaitanya) 

who falls in love with three 

different girls Suma (Anupama 

Parameshwaran), Sithara (Shruti

Everytime he falls down, he will be 

knocked by a new girl which turns 

his life. Premam is all about the 

emotions and the moments that 

make Vikki happy in love. Watch 

the film to feel the exact emotions. 

Analysis : 

The first half of the film has been 

entirely decent with passable love 

making episodes and stupendous 

entertainment. The makers made 

sure that they did not bring the 

flavour of Malayalam and made 

enough changes while scripting. 

The songs have been placed and 

shot well in fresh locales. The 

pre-interval episodes bring up 

the pace and the entire first half 

has been decent with impressive 

performances. 

The second half of Premam too 

carries the same mood and feel but 

it dips down because of the slow 

pace. The narration becomes lose 

at parts however the film makes a 

loud comeback at the right needed 

time. The last half an hour of the 

film has been brilliantly executed 

which makes the film sit on the 

top. Chaitu’s transformation in 

all the three characters has been 

exceptional all over. On the whole 

the second half of Premam has 

been brilliantly executed which 

makes the film impressive. 

Final Word: 

Premam is a film that should

corrupted system. Watch the film 

to know about the rest. 

Analysis : 

The first half of ISM has been 

decent but slow in pace. The love 

story has been interesting and 

the entertainment makes the film

shot in beautiful locales and the 

pre-interval episodes make the film 

interesting. The interval strikes the 

chord and on the whole the first half

It is the second half which is quite 

crucial however the film falls flat in

pathetic. The songs have been 

decent and the court episodes try 

hard to make some impact. The

up completely and the movie dips

even expect a promotion or new clients this 

month. Be more focussed and don’t doubt 

your ideas and creativity. 

CAPRICORN 

You need to slow down the mental 

pace of your life. Catch your breath 

and ask yourself what do you intend 

for yourself this month. While work is good,

the flow. Don’t over analyse or procrastinate. 

The energies this month will bring you 

people who will help you connect the dots.

after 21st November. Expect travel for work 

between 15-27th November. Health will be 

erratic throughout the month. 

LIBRA 

The month will start off with a 

bang, with too much excitement 

and movement in areas of work. 

New plans, projects and creativity 

will keep you busy till 14th. There might be 

difference of opinion with people between 

6-18th November, but eventually post 23rd 

November, difference will get sorted at work. 

Stuck paper will move forward post 4th 

November. Post 22nd November, work will 

slow down due to decisions made by others. 

PISCES 

There has been a lot going on in 

your mind and the energies this 

month will put everything to rest. 

While work is slow till 17th November, new 

opportunities will come your way, results of 

which will be seen early next year. Follow 

your heart and avoid getting carried away by 

people as far as career goes. For those in 

the creative field, might change their job or 

change their role/responsibility.
