There are people who smoke and people who do not. It is in public places that individuals from these groups inevitably meet and are forced to interact.And in such places, whose will is to prevail-a smoker’s or the non-smoker’s considering the matter objectively from the angles of environment, health, as well as individual rights, it is the non smoker’s will that should prevail.It is impractical to ascertain the wishes of each non-smoker in a public place before a smoker indulges in a puff. Smoking in public places, in other words should be banned. ADVERTISEMENTS: Smoke-the very word conjures up a foul unhealthy, suffocating, polluted environment with dark clouds of gases suffused everywhere.How then, can smoking or rather puffing away smoke to create such a defiled environment be permitted in public…

The leaders who achieved independence for India spent long years in jail many a politician today ought to justify in jail. The former were imprisoned for fighting a just cause against an alien rule, the latter are no better than common criminal’s patty thieves, gangsters, murderers and rapists. For politics today has become not the last but first resort of the scoundrel.An important reason for the criminalisation of politics is very system of power that operates in India.The state in India wields a great amount of discretionary power. Also there is little transparency in the exercise of power by the State. With the assumption of so much power, the scope for misusing that power also increases. ADVERTISEMENTS: The economy of India was till recently and to some extent even now…

The year 1857 marked the completion of 100 years of British rule. Lord Dalhousie’s regime (1849-56) marked the high watermark of the expansion of British domination in India when he implemented the Doctrine of Lapse which postulated that Indian states having no natural heir would be annexed to the Empire. Doctrine of Lapse is also known as Law of Escheat. The states annexed to the empire by the application of this doctrine were Satara (1848), Sambalpur (1850), Jhansi (1853), Jaipur (1849), Bengal (1850) and Awadh (1856). Nana Sahib’s pension was discontinued and the adopted son of the Rani of Jhansi was deprived of his right to rule in violation of the recognised Hindu Laws. ADVERTISEMENTS: The Rani had tried everything to reverse the decision. She even offered to keep Jhansi…

Computer engineering is a relatively new field of engineering and is one of the fastest growing fields today. Computer engineering is one of today’s most technologically based jobs.The field of computer engineering combines the knowledge of electrical engineering and computer science to create advanced computer systems. Computer engineering involves the process of designing and manufacturing computer central processors, memory systems, central processing units, and of peripheral devices.Computer engineers work with CAD(computer aided design) programs and different computer languages so they can create and program computer systems. ADVERTISEMENTS: Computer engineers use today’s best technology to create tomorrow’s. Computer engineers require a high level of training and intelligence to be skilled at their job. A bachelors degree from a college or university with a good computer engineering program computer science program is…

At the Wallops Flight Facility at Wallops Island in East Coast, Virginia, USA, the base for NASA’s sound rocketing programme, a visitor from India spotted a painting displayed prominently in the reception lobby, depicting a battle scene with a few rockets flying in the background. The visitor’s curiosity was kindled when he saw that the soldiers launching the rocket were not white-skinned, but dark with racial features distinctly Indian. It soon turned out that Tipu Sultan’s army was fighting the British with rockets. ADVERTISEMENTS: When the ruler of Mysore was killed in the battle of Turukhanahally in 1799, the British seized more than 700 rockets and subsystems of 900 rockets. Tipu’s army had 27 brigades, called Kushoons, and each brigade had a company of rocket men, called Jourks. These rockets…

This is the age of science and technology. Science has changed the face of the earth with its too many wonderful inventions and discoveries. If one of our ancestors were to return to the earth, he or she would not be able to recognize it-so tremendous, complete and fundamental has been the change.Science has benefited mankind in an unprecedented manner by its wonderful progress and development. And still the development, research, inventions and discoveries are going on a very fast track. These are of fundamental nature and of far reaching consequences, so much so that the world would get further transformed unrecognizably.Science touches all of us and our life at every step, as a big boon and blessing. It has helped us to conquer space and time. The world has…

One of the essential ingredients of a nation is the existence of a common language. Such a language is both useful and convenient medium for exchange of thoughts as well as a great unifying force. The ties of a common tongue are very close and strong. ZIt is often observed that India is a Babel of tongues without any national language. The observation is far from true. India is a large county-almost a continent-peopled with several races and communities, having their own native tongues. Nevertheless, she had, even in the past, some common language, binding together the different sections of its people. In the hoary past, Sanskrit played its role and subsequently Prakrit took its place to a certain extent. ADVERTISEMENTS: During the Muslim period, especially in the times of…

When we talk of corruption, we must understand what corruption really means. The simple and straightforward meaning of corruption is to get work done by means of illegal gratification.At one time, not very long back, just a few decades back, to dabble in corrupt practices was something to be ashamed of, and a known corrupt individual was singalled out. People would point the charging finger at him and talk scandals in whispers about him. This goes to show that, though corruption was there, it was a very rare phenomena, a hush hush affair. Both the corrupt person and the general public being awe struck about the whole affair. The corrupt person hid his misdeed which in turn goes to show that there was fear in the minds of the corrupt,…

Once upon a time man had to bend his knees before the might of nature. Today he commands nature. The moon, the planets and the stars are no longer far away. The depths of the ocean, the highest mountains and the coldest places have been conquered.Ours is an age of Internet, E-Mail, Websites, Mobile phones, Supercomputers, Information Superhighway, Space shuttles, Guided missiles, etc. Science has revolutionised every aspect of the present-day civilization, beyond all comprehension. ADVERTISEMENTS: One of the great contributions of modern science is that it has made our life easy, comfortable, luxurious and least burdensome. All kinds of manual works are being replaced by machines or computer controlled machinery.Today work is a matter of pressing buttons and controlling the whole process from air-conditioned rooms. Science has not only…
