A great saint and devotee<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
Mirabai was a great saint and devotee of Sri Krishna. Despite facing criticism and hostility from her own family, she lived an exemplary saintly life and composed many devotional bhajans.<br />
<br />
Mira was born around the start of the 16th Century in the Chaukari village in mirabaiMerta, Rajasthan. Her father was Ratan Singh a descendent of Rao Rathor, the founder of Jodhpur. When Mirabai was only 3 years old, a wandering Sadhu came to her family’s home and gave a doll of Sri Krishna to her father. Her father took this is as a special blessing, but was initially unwilling to give it to her daughter, because she felt she would not appreciate it.<br />
<br />
However Mira had, at first sight, become deeply enamoured with this doll. She refused to eat until the doll of Sri Krishna was given to her. To Mira, this figure of Sri Krishna, embodied his living presence. She resolved to make Krishna her lifelong friend, lover, and husband. Throughout her turbulent life she never wavered from her youthful commitment.<br />
<br />
On one occasion when Mira was still young she saw a wedding procession going down the street. Turning to her mother she asked in innocence, “Who will be my husband?” Her mother replied, half in jest, half in seriousness. “You already have your husband, Sri Krishna.” Mira’s mother was supportive of her daughter’s blossoming religious tendencies, but she passed away when she was only young. At an early age Mira’s father arranged for her to be married to Prince Bhoj Raj, who was the eldest son of Rana Sanga of Chittor. They were an influential Hindu family and the marriage significantly elevated Mira’s social position. However Mira was not enamoured of the luxuries of the palace. She served her husband dutifully, but in the evening she would spend her time in devotion and singing to her beloved Sri Krishna.Whilst singing devotional bhajans, she would frequently lose awareness of the world, entering into states of ecstasy and trance.<br />
<br />
However her new family did not approve of her piety and devotion to Krishna. To make things worse Mira refused to worship their family deity Durga. She said she had already committed herself to Sri Krishna. Her family became increasingly disproving of her actions, but the fame and saintly reputation of Mirabai spread<br />
throughout the region. Often she would spend time discussing spiritual issues with Sadhus and people would join in the singing of her bhajans. However this just made her family even more jealous. Mira’s sister-in-law Udabai started to spread false gossip and defamatory remarks about Mirabai. She said Mira was entertaining men in her room. Her husband, believing these stories to be true, tore into her room with sword in hand. However he saw Mira only playing with a doll. No man was there at all. Yet throughout these hysterical slanders Mirabai remained unmoved by both the criticism and praise of the world.<br />
<br />
Mira’s fame spread far and wide her devotional bhajans were sung across northern India. It is said that the fame and spirituality of Mirabai reached the ears of the Moghul Emperor Akbar. Akbar was tremendously powerful, but he was also very interested in different religious paths. The problem was that he and Mirabai’s family were the worst enemies; to visit Mirabai would cause problems for both him and Mirabai. But Akbar was determined to see Mirabai, the Princess – Saint. Disguised in the clothes of beggars he travelled with Tansen to visit Mirabai. Akbar was so enamoured of her soulful music and devotional singing, that he placed at her feet a priceless necklace before leaving.<br />
<br />
However in the course of time Akbar’s visit came to the ears of her husband Bhoj Raj. He was furious that a Muslim and his own arch enemy and set eyes upon his wife. He ordered Mirabai to commit suicide by drowning in a river. Mirabai intended to honour her husbands command, but as she was entering the river Sri Krishna appeared to her and commanded her to leave for Brindaban where she could worship him in peace. So with a few followers, Mirabai left for Brindaban, where she spent her time in devotion to Sri Krishna. After a while her husband became repentant, feeling that her wife was actually a real saint. Thus he travelled to Brindaban and requested her to return. Mirabai agreed, much to the displeasure of the rest of her family.<br />
<br />
However soon after Mira’s husband died;( fighting in battles with the Moghul emperors). This made the situation even worse for Mirabai. Her father in law, Rana Sanga, saw her husband’s death as a way to be rid of Mirabai. He commanded her to commit Sati. However Mirabai, with the inner direct assurance of her beloved Sri Krishna, said that she would not do this. Her real husband, Sri Krishna had not died.<br />
<br />
After this experience her family continued to torture her. They restricted her movements and sought to make her life as uncomfortable as possible. Yet in the face of all these trials and tribulation she remained detached from her physical suffering. There was nothing that could disturb her inner connection to Giridhara (epithet of Sri Krishna as young cowherd boy). It is said that twice her family tried to kill her, once through a venomous snake and once through poisonous drink. On both occasions it is said Mirabai, protected by the Grace of Sri Krishna, came to no ill harm.<br />
<br />
However the relentless torments and hostility interfered with her life of devotion and contemplation on Krishna. She sought the advice of learned men and Saints. They advised her to leave the palace and return to Brindaban. Secretly with some followers she slipped out of the palace and escaped to the holy city of Brindaban. In Brindaban Mirabai was free to worship Giridhara to her heart’s content. She would spend her time in singing bhajans and in ecstatic communion with Krishna. Like a true Bhakti she worshipped God wholeheartedly. The riches of the world offered no attraction to Mirabai; her only satisfaction came from her single minded devotion to Sri Krishna. Her soul was ever yearning for Krishna. She considered herself to be a Gopi of Vrindaban, mad only with pure love for Krishna.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Birth: 8th Jan 1942, Oxford<br />
Mother's Name: Isobel Hawking<br />
Father's Name: Frank Hawking<br />
<br />
<br />
Stephen Hawking was born in 8th Jan 1942 in oxford. He is a famous author, cosmologist and theoretical physicist. Hawking showed a passion for the sky and for science at an early age. In his earlier academic life, he was not <br />
an exceptional student but recognized as bright though.<br />
<br />
His parents' house was in north London, but during the second world war, Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight, his family moved to St. Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. He was third from the bottom of his class during his high school year but he focused on recreations outside of school that he and his few close friends created new games of their own. Along with several friends, they constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations at the age of 16. At the age of 17, he entered Oxford University and he has become one of the Oxford rowing team’s coxswain. <br />
<br />
Stephen wanted to study Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine. He has expressed hisdesire to study mathematics but Oxford University didn’t offer a mathematics degree, thus, he chose physics and more specifically Cosmology, the study of the origins and eventual fate of the universe. Hawking graduated with honors in 1962 and went to attend the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D. in Cosmology.<br />
<br />
While he was studying, at the age of 21, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also known as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a weakening disease with different causes characterized by fast progressive weakness, muscle atrophy; a partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body, muscle spasticity, difficulty speaking, swallowing and breathing. He was given 2 years to live.<br />
<br />
In 1963, before he had been diagnosed with ALS, he met a young undergraduate named Jane Wilde which he married in 1965. “I was bored with life before my illness. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing.” Hawking said. With his realization that me might not live long enough to earn his degree in Ph.D. he consumed his time working,<br />
studying and researching.<br />
<br />
He has done an amazing work in cosmology and physics despite his devastating illness. In 1969, he’s forced to use wheelchair though physical control over his body lessened. He became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge a year after the birth of his son Robert. He had a daughter named Lucy who was born in 1969 and then 10 years later, Timothy, their third son was born.<br />
<br />
In 1975, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, his first book, was published. Because of his researches; his studies in black holes, he turned himself into a celebrity within the scientific world.<br />
<br />
He has been given so many awards and honors such as the prestigious Albert Einstein Award, Pius XI Gold Medal for Science from Pope Paul VI. He came back to Cambridge University and became a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.<br />
<br />
By the mid – 1970s, his speech had become increasingly unclear and in 1985 he lost his voice for good following a tracheotomy. A California computer programmer had developed a speaking program that allowed Hawking to select <br />
words on a computer screen then passed through a speech synthesizer. But today, with virtually all control of his body gone, he directs the program through a cheek muscle attached to a sensor.<br />
<br />
Hawking left his wife Jane in 1990 for one of his nurses Elaine Mason which he married in 1995 but was divorced in 2006. Hawking’s researches and books such as A Brief History of Time, A Briefer History of Time, and many more helped make science accessible and manageable for everyone.</div>

Guided by a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers. <br />

Unfortunately four were survived. Immanuel(father) was inventor and engineer, who had invented modern plywood. Alfred was more closed with his mother and displayed a lively intellectual curiosity from an early age. He was interested in explosive and he learned the fundamentals of engineering from his father. During that period his father had failed at various business until moving in 1837 to St. Petersburg in Russia. Where Immanuel grew prospered as a manufacturer of explosive mines and machine tools. Then in 1842, Nobel family left Stockholm to join Immanuel at St Petersburg.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>At the age of 16, Alfred was a competent chemist and was fluent in English, French, German, Russian, and Swedish. He left Russia in 1850 to spend a year in Paris studing chemistry and then spent four years in United States working under the direction of John Ericsson, the builder of the ironclad warship Monitor.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>When he was returned to Petersburg, he worked in his father's factory. Alfred and his parents returned to Sweden, while his brothers Robert and Ludvig stayed in Russia to salvage what was left of the family business. Alfred then began experimenting with explosives in a small laboratory on his father's estate. In 1862, he built a small factory to manufacture nitroglycerin, which is so volatile so could not be handled with any degree of safty. In 1863, he invented a practical detonator. Which makes his reputation as an inventor and the fortune he was to acquire as a maker of explosives. later then he invented an improved detonator called blasting cap in 1865. But it's remained difficult to transport and extremely dangerous to handle. In fact, his nitroglycerin factory blew up in 1864, killing his younger brother Emil and several people.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Alfred never got married. He had three loves. First love was in Russia with Alexandra who rejected his proposal. Second was with Bertha Kinsky. She was his secretary but she left him and marry to her previous lover. She corresponded with him until his death. She was awarded in 1905 with the Nobel Peace Prize for her sincere peace activities. And third was with Sofie Hess from Vienna. They stayed in contact for 18 yrs and also exchanged many letters. Alfred addressed her as 'Madame Sofie Nobel'.

Rani Padmini, the wife of King Rawal Ratan Singh and Queen of Chittor and often a mythological figure for her womanhood and sacrifice.</div><div><br /></div><div>During those days, the Sultanate of Delhi- the kingdom set up by the invaders was nevertheless growing in power. That time Allah-ud-din Khilji was the Sultan and who made repeated attack on Mewar on one reason and the other. </div><div><br /></div><div>At the same time Chittor was under the Rule of Rawal Ratan Singh, a brave and noble warrior King. As well a patron of the arts. In his court were many talented people one of whom was a musician named Raghav Chetan. But unknown to everyone, he was also a sorcerer. He used his evil talent to run down his competitor but unluckily was caught red-handed. On hearing this King was angry and he punished Raghav Chetan to send away from his kingdom after blackening his face and making him ride on donkey.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Due to this, Raghav Chetan became an uncompromising enemy of the King. Raghav Chetan made his way towards Delhi with the aim of trying to incite the Sultan of Delhi Allah-ud-din Khilji to attack chittor.</div><div><br /></div><div>When Raghav Chetan come near to Delhi, was settled down in one of the forests nearby Delhi which the Sultan used frequently for hunting deers. One day he saw the hunt party entering the forest, he started playing a melodious tone on his flute. Hunt party get surprised, and they found Raghav Chetan was playing a flute . Raghav Chetan was then brought before sultan, and the Sultan asked him to come to his court at Delhi.The cunning Raghav-Chetan asked the king as to why he wants to have a ordinary musician like himself when there were many other beautiful objects to be had. The Sultan wondering what Raghav Chetan meant, Sultan asked him to clarify. Then he told about Rani Padmini's beauty, Allah-ud-din's lust was aroused and immediately on returning to his capital he gave orders to his army to march on Chittor.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>But he get disappointed, due to the fort to be heavily defended. Hopefull to have a look at the legendary beauty of Padimini, he send word to King Ratan Singh that he looked upon padmini as his sister and wanted to meet her. On hearing this, the unsuspecting Ratansen asked Padmini to see the 'brother'. But Padmini was more wordly-wise and she refused to meet the lustful Sultan personally.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rani Padmini then convinced by her husband, She agreed to allow Allah-ud -din to see her only in a mirror.On the word being sent to Allah-ud-din that Padmini would see him, he came to the fort with his selected and best warriors who secretly made a careful examination of the fort's defences on their way to the Palace. On seeing Padmini, in a mirror, the lustful Sultan decided that he should secure Padmini for himself. While returing to his camp, Sultan was accompanied for some way by King Ratan Singh. Taking this opportunity, Sultan skillfully kidnapped Ratan Singh and took him as a prisoner into his camp and demanded that Padmini come and surrender herself before Sultan, if she wanted her husband king Ratan Singh alive again.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>The Rajput generals decided to beat the Sultan at his own game and sent back a word that Padmini would be given to Sultan the next morning. On the following day at the crack of dawn, one hundred and fifity palaquins (covered cases in which royal ladies were carried in medieveal times) left the fort and made their way towards Sultan's camps. The palanquins stopped before the tent where king Ratan singh was being held prisoner. Seeing that the palanquins had come from Chittor, and thinking that they had brought along with them his queen, king Ratan Singh was mortified. But get surprised, because his queen is not there in the palanquins but her women servant and fully armed soldiers, who quickly freed Ratan Singh and galloped away towards Chittor on horses grabbed from Sultan's stables.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>On hearing that, the lustful Sultan was furious and ordered his army to attack on Chittor. But hard as they tried the Sultans army could not break into the fort. Sultan decided to lay seige to the fort. The seige was the prolonged effort to gain the fort. Finally King Ratnasingh gave orders that the Rajputs would open the gates and fight to finish with the besieging troops. On hearing of this decision, Padmini decided that with their men-folk going into the unequal struggle with the Sultan's army in which they were sure to perish, the women of Chittor had either to commit suicides or face dishonour at the hands of the victorious enemy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The choice was in favour of suicide through Jauhar. A huge pyre was lit and followed by their queen, all the women of Chittor jumped into the flames and deceived the lustful enemy waiting outside. With their womenfolk dead, the men of Chittor had nothing to live for. Their charged out of the fort and fought on furiously with the vastly Powerful array of the Sultan, till all of them perished. After this phyrrhic victory the Sultan's troops entered the fort only to be confronted with ashes and burnt bones of the women whose honour they were going to violate to satisfy their lust.</div><div><br /></div><div>These women who committed Jauhar had to perish but their memory has been kept alive till today by bards and songs which glorify their act which was right in those days and circumstances. Thus a halo of honour is given to their supreme sacrifice.</div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div>nalu241984http://www.blogger.com/profile/14740273307967242517noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355025109410572107.post-10986732316531083892010-12-19T21:11:00.000-08:002010-12-19T21:35:53.696-08:00Lance Armstrong " The Challenger"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJI28FqLx8Xaa-cqTsutsKOzuB-bHKgGcTdFveMwEzbPdmKMWYnGYxMyQtN7_KK6IUaK3eGN1s6s6FOZr7MvsL2El50gmBSvwE-mmTd_Cfx7GinECey8tK-xtCfcm2-hn9cF9dXrPSokgn/s1600/lance-armstrong.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJI28FqLx8Xaa-cqTsutsKOzuB-bHKgGcTdFveMwEzbPdmKMWYnGYxMyQtN7_KK6IUaK3eGN1s6s6FOZr7MvsL2El50gmBSvwE-mmTd_Cfx7GinECey8tK-xtCfcm2-hn9cF9dXrPSokgn/s200/lance-armstrong.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552629487007545474" /></a><div><br /></div><div>Birth: 18th September 1971, in Plano, Texas</div><div>father's Name: Eddie Charles Gunderson</div><div>Mother's Name: Linda Mooneyham</div><div><br /></div><div><div><div>Lance Armstrong is an American professional road racing cyclist.

She was their only child. Her father was a lawyer and also a leader. Jawaharlal Nehru was more western than traditional and like to live sophisticated lifestyle. Her mother was a religious lady. There was a huge difference between the lifestyle of her parents. Her Grandfather Motilal Nehru was a renowned barrister of that period. Also a well-known member of the Indian National Congress Party.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>In 1934-35, after finishing school, Indira joined Shantiniketan, a school set up by Rabindranath Tagore. At that school, Tagore gave her the name "Priyadarshini". (Priya=pleasing, darshini=to look at). At the later time she went to England and sat for the University of Oxford entrance exam.

Next election was held in 1980, Congress returned with high difference and Indira became the Prime Minister again.</div><div><br /></div><div>The two events of the Indian political history that made Indira's image dull was 'state of emergercy and the operation blue star'. In Sept 1981, a Sikh militant group led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale demanded a seperate state of Khalistan. They started motivating the people in Punjab and organized several groups to carry out their plans. They entered into the premises of the Golden Temple to take shelter.

He was awarded the fellow of the Royal Society of Arts from the scientific body in the Great Britain. He was also awarded by Roosevelt Medal for his service in the science field, Humanitarian award from the variety Club of America,Man of the Year award from the magazine Progressive Farmer. He had received a Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science from the university of Rochester.<br /><br />Later in his life, Thomas Edison offered him $100,000 a year to come and work for him, but he thought he could do more good at Teskegee. One of his major accomplishment was the inventation and promotion of the organic fertilizing methods. Introduction of crop rotation for restoring nutrients to the soil.<br /><br />He was known as a religious man. He never got married, but he says that he was married to his work.

Khandala Dist. Satara)<br />Father's name: Khandoji Nevse.<br />Mother's name: Laxmibai.<br />Death: 10th March 1897.<br /><br /><br /> Savitribai was the first female teacher of the India. She was born on 3rd Jan 1831 in Naigaon, dist satara in Maharashtra. She was born on after the thirteen years of British rule in India and end of Peshwa rulein Maharashtra. In that time, it was common to marry a girl at the age of early childhood. Due to this tradition she was get married to Jyotirao Phule at the age of nine. But she stay at her father's home because Jyotirao was studying in a missionary school. After completing Jyotiba's education Savitribai came to lived with him, at the age of 20.<br /><br /><br /> Jyotiba's opinion that every women must be educated.And thats why he started teaching English and Marathi to Savitribai at home. Savitribai became very good in English and Marathi. On 14 Jan 1848, Jyotirao started a school in Pune. This school was opened in a corridor of his friend house. This was the first school which was opened especially for girls for the first time in India. There was only 9 girls belonging to different caste enrolled themselves as students. Savitribai was given the charge of the school and hence, she became the first woman teacher of India.<br /><br /> Its a very difficult experience to leave house in the morning and going to school for Savitribai. The Orthodox society would not prepared for that. People belived that the food, her husbond ate would turn into worms and she would lost him by his untimely death. Apart from all these oppositions she yet continued to teach the girls. Whenever she went out of her house some group of orthodox men would follow and insult her in the disgusting language. They would throw rotten egg, cow dung, tomatoes, stones at her. The ordeal continued for a long time till Savitribai had to slap a person who tried to irritate her. That slap brought to an end of her bad experiences and she continued her job of teaching. Jyotiba and Savitribai managed to open five more schools in the year 1848 itself. She was honoured by the British for her educational work.<br /><br /> During those days marriages were arranged in between young girls and old mens. Men used to die due to old age or some sickness and the girls they had married left widows. Widows were not expected to use cosmatics or to look beautiful. There head were shaved and the society forced them to live there life by simply. Savitribai and Jyotiba were moved by the remarriage of such widows and castigated the barbers. They organized the strick of barbars and conveyt them not to shaved the widows head. This was the first strick of its kind. They also fought againts all forms of social prejudices.<br /><br /> She worked relentlessly for the victims of plague, where she organized camps for poor childrens. It is said that she used to feed two thousand children every day during the epidemic. By a strange irony, she herself was struck by the disease while nursing a sick child and died on 10 March 1897.nalu241984http://www.blogger.com/profile/14740273307967242517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355025109410572107.post-52146484546539611202010-06-11T09:15:00.001-07:002010-06-11T22:30:24.948-07:00Adolf Hitler –Rise to Power<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4xwzbs1E7P75Rh36wHDueSFjl3C0RFGZSoJvW-DY3qXcRjF12uzM1zCODV_zB459aVfVP2YO2XhQLGRCNeUS1UhyphenhyphenGOoV3M7JtkAsfUagmZLvUe26OPOOCEiwnQJrTW3y2_oOAwvb2i7P/s1600/80px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-S33882_Adolf_Hitler_retouched.jpg"><span style="color:#663300;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481553252990604018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 110px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4xwzbs1E7P75Rh36wHDueSFjl3C0RFGZSoJvW-DY3qXcRjF12uzM1zCODV_zB459aVfVP2YO2XhQLGRCNeUS1UhyphenhyphenGOoV3M7JtkAsfUagmZLvUe26OPOOCEiwnQJrTW3y2_oOAwvb2i7P/s200/80px-Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-S33882_Adolf_Hitler_retouched.jpg" border="0" /></span></a>
<br /> Adolf Hitler was a struggling young artist who became a feared dictator (powerful ruler). He led his country into a bloody war that killed millions of people. The German peoples are also called him Fuhrer (Autocratic leader)
<br />
<br />He was born in 20th April 1889, Austria-Hungary. He is come from well to do family. His father, Alois was an important government worker(Customs Officer). His mother was Klara, and Adolf was much closer to his mother rather than his father. Adolf started his school at the age of six. But due to continuous moves from one village to another because of his fathers transfer, his study becomes poor and he left his school. His dream to become an artist. But his father sent him to the Realschule in Linz, a technical high school of about 300 students, in September 1900, rather than in classical high school. During this period he had gained interest in politics and history.
<br />
<br />Alois’s sudden death on 3rd Jan 1903, due to this Hitler’s behaviour at the technical school become even more disruptive and he was leaved his school. From 1905 on, Hitler lived a <a title="Bohemianism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemianism"> bohemian </a> an artist) life in <a title="Vienna" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna"> Vienna </a> on an orphan's pension and support from his mother.

<br />
<br />Adolf Hitler written the below sentence in his biography…“The purpose of my trip was to study the picture gallery in the Court Museum, but I had eyes for scarcely anything but the Museum itself. From morning until late at night, I ran from one object of interest to another, but it was always the buildings which held my primary interest.”

<br />
<br />On 21 December 1907, his mother died due to breast cancer at the age of 45. When he was 21, he struggled as a painter in vienna, coping scenes from postcard and selling these paintings to merchants and tourists.
<br />
<br />In August 1914 When Germany entered in World War I, he requested King
<br /> <a title="Ludwig III of Bavaria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_III_of_Bavaria"> Ludwig III of Bavaria</a> for permission to serve in a<a title="Bavaria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria"> Bavarian</a> regiment. This request was granted, and Adolf Hitler enlisted in the Bavarian army. Hitler served in France and Belgium in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment. He was a <a title="Runner (war)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runner_(war)"> runner</a>, doing very dangerous job on the western front. He participated in a number of major battles on the <a title="Western Front (World War I)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Front_(World_War_I)">Western Front </a>, including the <a title="First Battle of Ypres" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_Ypres">First Battle of Ypres</a>, the <a title="Battle of the Somme" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Somme"> Battle of the Somme </a> , the <a title="Battle of Arras (1917)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Arras_(1917)"> Battle of Arras </a> and the <a title="Battle of Passchendaele" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Passchendaele"> Battle of Passchendaele </a>.

<br />
<br />Hitler said it was during this experience that he became convinced the purpose of his life was to "save Germany."And then in 1919, the world war 1 was ended with lots of enforced laws against Germany. In same year Hitler joined the politics.
<br />
<br />Given the responsibility for publicity and propaganda .Hitler first succeeded in attracting over a hundred people to a meeting in held October at which he delivered his first speech to a large audience. The meeting and his oratory were a great success, and subsequently in February 1920 he organized a much larger event for a crowd of nearly two thousand in the Munich Hofbrauhaus. Hitler himself was not the main speaker, but when his turn came he succeeded in calming a impose audience and presented a twenty-five point programmed of ideas which were to be the basis of the party. The name of the party was itself changed to the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi for short) on April 1st 1920.
<br />
<br />He was arrested and taken to the prisoner. During these days he wrote his biography “Main Kamfp”. He was released in December 1924; he rebuilt his party and makes his party strong.
<br />
<br />In September 1932, the Nazi members of the Reichstag, together with support form the Center Party elected the prominent Nazi Herman Goering as President of the Reichstag. Using his new position, Goering managed to prevent the Chancellor from presenting an order to dissolve the Reichstag, whilst a vote of no confidence in the Chancellor and his government was passed. Thus having forced the resignation of the new government, the Reichstag allowed its own dissolution. Although losing 34 of their seats in the following election, the Nazis retained enough influence to assure that Papen would be unable to form a new Government and the Chancellor resigned on 17th of November 1932.

<br />Hitler and his Nazi party had other ideas, and Schleicher found that he was unable to win the support of any of the parties in the Reichstag and was forced to resign as Chancellor on January 28th 1933. Finally on January 30th, 1933 President Hindenburg decided to appoint Hitler Chancellor in a coalition government with Papen as Vice-Chancellor. He penultimate step towards Adolf Hitler gaining complete control over the destiny of Germany were taken on the night of 27th February 1933.
<br />
<br />Hitler managed one of the greatest expansions of industrial production and civil improvement. Mostly based on debt flotation and expansion of the military. Nazi policies toward women strongly encouraged them to stay at home to take care of children and keep house. In a September 1934 speech to the National Socialist Women's Organization, Adolf Hitler argued that for the German woman her "world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home." This policy was reinforced by bestowing the Cross of Honor of the German Mother on women bearing four or more babies. The unemployment rate was cut substantially, mostly through arms production and sending women home so that men could take their jobs. Given this, claims that the <a title="Economy of Germany" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Germany"> German economy </a> achieved near full employment are at least partly artifacts of propaganda from the era. Much of the financing for Hitler's reconstruction and rearmament came from currency manipulation by Hjalmar Schacht, including the clouded credits through the <a title="Mefo bills" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mefo_bills"> Mefo bills </a> .
<br />Hitler managed one of the largest infrastructure-improvement campaigns in German history, with the construction of dozens of dams, <a title="Autobahn" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn"> autobahns</a> , railroads, and other civil works.Hitler's policies emphasised the importance of family life: men were the "breadwinners", while women's priorities were to lie in bringing up children and in household work. This new idea of industry and infrastructure came at the expense of the overall standard of living.
<br />
<br />In 1939 the World War II was started and the participants in World War II were those <a title="Nation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation"> nations</a> who either participated directly in or were affected by any of the theaters or events of <a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II">World War II</a>.
<br />
<br />World War II was primarily fought between two large military alliances. TheAxis powers were a group of countries led by Nazi Germany , the Italy and the Empire of Japan. They were considered the attackers of the war. The Allies, led by the United Kingdom and until its defeat, France, were joined in the European theatre by the Soviet Union in June 1941 and by the United States in December 1941. In the Asia-Pacific theater, the Allies were led by the Republic of China, following the 1937 invasion of China by Japan , and the United States and the British Commonwealth, following the 1941-1942 <a title="Japanese expansion (1941-1942)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_expansion_(1941-1942)"> Japanese attacks</a> .
<br />
<br />As the Red Army approached Berlin and the Anglo-Americans reached the Elbe, on 19 March 1945 Hitler ordered the destruction of what remained of German industry, communications and transport systems. He was resolved that, if he did not survive, Germany too should be destroyed.
<br />
<br />On April 29, 1945, he married with his mistress <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/braun.html">Eva Braun</a> and dictated his testament. The following day Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself through the mouth with a pistol. His body was carried into the garden of the Reich Chancellery by aides, covered with petrol and burned along with that of <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/braun.html"> Eva Braun</a>.

He could not show the expected progress as per his physical age.He could not even talk up to 3 yrs of his age and hence he was supposed to be dull. He learned violin at the age of six and took lessons of violin from a teacher.<br /><br /> Albert's father was businessman . His business was to sell electrical parts. When Albert was taking his primary education in Germany, his father leaved Germany due to loss in business and went to Italy. Albert lived in Germany up to the age of sixteen. During his stay in Germany ,he did not not like the German educational pattern. Even he did not like the German social structure. He always hated Germany. There were no individual freedom in Germany. According to Germany rule, every one has to join military compulsory at the age of seventeen. Due to this, he left Germany and went to Italy. He completed his school education in Italy. Further he joined 'Swiss Federal Institute of Technology'. Albert completed his graduation in 1900 with good marks. While learning in Switzerland, he got married with Hengerian girl named 'Mileva Merick' who was learning in his class. But he took divorce from her in 1919 leaving behind two sons and one daughter.He re-married in the same year but his second wife died in 1936.<br /><br /> It was essential for him to join service at any cost due to bad financial condition of his father. He joined as technical clerk in patent office in Bern city after two years struggle. In his office he used to study physics after completing his routine work. During his service in petent office, he submitted a research paper to 'Zurich University' and was awarded PhD.D.in 1905.<br /><br /> Einstein published the following four scientific research papers.<br /><br />1) Theory of Relativity.<br />2) Brownian Theory of Motion.<br />3) Mass-Energy Relation E=mc^2.<br />4) Photoelectric Effect.<br /><br /><br /> Einstein was awarded <span style="font-weight: bold;">Noble Prize</span> for the discovery of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Photoelectric effect</span> in 1921.The famous mass-energy relation E=mc^2 has supplied the basic principle for the production of 'Atom bomb'. Further we worked as Director of <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Kaiser William Institute of Physics</span>' from 1914 to 1933. He left Germany in the year 1933 and joined as professor in Institute for Advanced Study in Prinstein(America). He retired from this institute in 1945.<br /> <br /> He publish near about <span style="font-weight: bold;">300 research papers</span> through out his lifetime. American President immediately started<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 'Man-Hatton Yojana'</span> to make atom bomb on the suggestion of Einstein. Actually he was in opposition to make the direct use of atom bomb, but only to teach lesson to the Germany. He felt very guilty after hearing the news of bombarding the atom bombs on the city <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Hiroshima'</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Nagasaki'<br /></span><br /> He worked for the welfare of human being after his retirement. He died on 18th April 1955 in America.<br /><br /><br /><span style="display: none;">(<span class="bday">1879-03-14</span>)</span>nalu241984http://www.blogger.com/profile/14740273307967242517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355025109410572107.post-18297332128551153812010-05-28T23:52:00.000-07:002010-05-29T00:16:53.226-07:00"Maharana Pratap Mewar's Greatest Hero"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgODAX0jr_R8tskOGrFnPfztUeiUklo6pa6Yva6p1mVeeEtg-pNOBUTZGS-kMGZSNSSn00EyFQmXIbG7Y1ysKVnSt5xrW2pCxp0X5_X4WfHEftqsPT3plnZGDJYxBk9dalJYbDbTTnCkgG-/s1600/n26527978161_7136.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 172px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgODAX0jr_R8tskOGrFnPfztUeiUklo6pa6Yva6p1mVeeEtg-pNOBUTZGS-kMGZSNSSn00EyFQmXIbG7Y1ysKVnSt5xrW2pCxp0X5_X4WfHEftqsPT3plnZGDJYxBk9dalJYbDbTTnCkgG-/s400/n26527978161_7136.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476581615174777810" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><b>Born:</b> May 9, 1540 in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan<br /> <b>Father's Name:</b> Maharana Udai Singh II<br /> <b>Mother's Name:</b> Rani Jeevant Kanwar<br /> <b>Died:</b> January 29, 1597 in Chavand<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Maharana Pratap was born on May 9th 1540 in Kumbhalgarh,<br />Rajasthan.His father n mother was Maharana Uday Singh II<br />and Rani Jeevant Kanwar. Maharana Uday Singh II was ruled<br />the kingdom of Mewar, with the capital Chittor. Among 24 children<br />Pratop was Eldest n hence given the title <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">'Crown Prince'</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span><br /></span></span>He was 54th ruler of Mewar.<br /><br />In 1567, when Crown Prince Pratap Singh was only 27 yrs,<br />Chittor was surroundedby the Mughal forces of Emperor Akbar.<br />The young Pratap Singh wanted to stay and fight<br />with the Mughals but the elders intervened and convinced<br />him to leave Chittor. So Maharana Uday Singh II moved his family<br />to Gogunda.<br /><br />In Gogunda, Maharana Uday Singh II set up his temporary government.<br />But in 1572, Maharana Uday Singh II passed away hence the Crown Prince<br />Pratap become Maharana.<br /><br />The year was 1572, Pratap Singh had just become the Maharana<br />of Mewar and he had not been back in Chittor since 1567, so long time.<br />The pain of his father's death, and the that his father had not been<br />able to see Chittor again. Akbar had control of Chittor<br />but not the kingdom of Mewar. So long as the people of Mewar<br />swore by their Maharana. Akbar could not realize his ambition of<br />being the 'Jahanpanah of Hindustan'.<br /><br />In 1573, Akbar sents six diplomatic missions to Mewar,<br />to get Rana Pratap to agree to gave his kingdom to Akbar for controlling.<br />But Maharana Pratap was dissagreed. Then Akbar sents <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Raja Man Singh</span> who was Brother-in-law of Akbar.<br />Maharana Pratap, angered that his fellow Rajput was aligned<br />with someone who had forced the submission of all Rajputs,<br />refused to sup with Raja Man Singh. Akbar understood that<br />Maharana Pratap would never submit and he would have to use<br />his troops against Mewar.<br /><br />Akbar then tried to turn the people of the all-important Chittor<br />district against their king so they would not help Pratap. Akbar<br />appointed <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kunwar Sagar Singh</span>, a younger brother of Pratap,<br />to rule the conquered territory. Sagar, regretting his own treachery,<br />soon returned from Chittor, and committed suicide with a dagger in<br />the Mughal Court. Then Shakti Singh ,the younger brother of Pratap<br />now with Mugals army and warned his brother Pratap of Akbar's actions.<br /><br />In 1576, the famous <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Battle of Haldighati'</span> was fought with 20,000<br />Rajputs against a Mughal army of 80,000. Mughal army was commanded<br />by Raja Man Singh. The battle was agreesive, not conclusive, to the mughal's<br />army surprise greatly. Maharana Pratap's army was not defeated but was<br />surrounded by Mughal soldiers. But it was said that, Maharana Pratap's<br />life was saved by his estranged brother, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shakti Singh</span>. During this war<br />Maharana Pratap's famous, and loyal, <span style="font-weight: bold;">horse Chetak</span>, who gave up his life<br />trying to save his Maharana.<br /><br />After this war, Akbar tried several times to take over Mewar, failing each time.<br />Maharana Pratap himself was keeping up his quest for taking Chittor back.<br />However, the relentless attacks of the Mughal army had left his army weaker,<br />and he barely had enough money to keep it going. It is said that at this time,<br />one of his ministers, Bhama Shah, came and offered him all this wealth -<br />a sum enabling Maharana Pratap to support an army of 25,000 for 12 years.<br />It is said that before this generous gift from Bhama Shah, Maharana Pratap,<br />anguished at the state of his subjects, was beginning to lose his spirit in fighting Akbar.<br /><br /><br />In January 1597, Rana Pratap Singh I, Mewar's greatest hero, was seriously<br />injuredin a hunting accident. He left his body at Chavand, aged 56,<br />on January 29, 1597.He died fighting for his nation, for his people,<br />and most importantly for his honor.nalu241984http://www.blogger.com/profile/14740273307967242517noreply@blogger.com1
