Lord Shiva is known as Natarajan as he is the Lord of Dance as an eternal dancer. His dance with music is described since the Puranic period. Tandava (denote the powerful) and masculine dance as Kala-Mahakala (denote the destruction of the whole world) are the two most common

types of the dance associated with Shiva . One of the most famous dance the Tandava-Lasya is associated with destruction and creation of the world.When Lord shiva dances,he represents truth, and by dancing he banishes ignorance and helps relieve the suffering of his followers.

Shiva is believed to assume two states – the samadhi (superconscious) state, and the tandav or lasya (dance) state. The samadhi state is his nirgun (non-materialised) state, while the tandav or lasya state is his sagun (materialised) state.
Body movements performed to

depict a particular event are known as natan or natya. The one who performs this natan is a nat (actor). Traditionally, it is believed that Nataraj is the promoter of dance. Since Shiva is the pioneer amongst actors/ dancers, the title of Nataraj is accorded to Him.

The Universe is Shiva's dance school, its is his playing field. He is not only its dancer, he is its observer too. In fact, Nataraj plays the role of creating a buzz in the universe through the commencement of his dance and merging the visible and invisible Creation into Himself

Britishers looted our precious knowledge acquired over thousands of years.
"The Third Mysore war took place between Tipu Sultan and Britishers. The Mysore soldiers captured a truck which was carrying food for the British army.A simple Marathi named Kosaji was the one who

drove this truck. Tipu Sultan ordered to cut off his nose. Kosaji with his nose cut was released after the end of the war.
A British doctor came forward to treat him. But Kosaji did not allow that doctor to treat him and said to take him to a traditional physician named Kumar.

The Britishers scolded him for choosing the local remedy instead of modern medicine.
He said, "Dr. Kumar will fix my cut nose again.” Everyone started laughing. But they agreed to his request and took him to Kumar. The local physician, Kumar, was doing a brick kiln business.

He peeled some skin from Kosaji's forehead and stitched it with the nose. The nose grew back. The skin from the forehead also grew back.
The British doctor, who saw this miracle, drew a painting of the miraculous incident and sent it to Britain. On seeing the message,Joseph

Constantine Carpue , an English doctor, came from London and met Dr. Kumar. He stayed for several years and returned back after learning this therapy.
He went to London and performed the world's first plastic surgery in 1816. It was then known as a Carpue operation.

वो क्रान्तिकारी थे बटुकेश्वर दत्त.
देश आज़ाद होने के बाद बटुकेश्वर दत्त भी रिहा कर दिए गए. लेकिन दत्त को जीते जी भारत ने भुला दिया. इस बात का खुलासा नेशनल बुक ट्रस्ट द्वारा प्रकाशित किताब “बटुकेश्वर दत्त, भगत सिंह के सहयोगी” में किया गया है.

नवम्बर 1947 में उन्होंने अंजलि नाम की लड़की से शादी की. अब उनके सामने कमाने और घर चलाने की समस्या आ गई. बटुकेश्वर दत्त ने एक सिगरेट कंपनी में एजेंट की नौकरी कर ली. बाद में बिस्कुट बनाने का एक छोटा कारखाना भी खोला, लेकिन नुकसान होने की वजह से इसे बंद कर देना पड़ा.

सोचने में बड़ा अजीब लगता है कि भारत का सबसे बड़ा क्रांतिकारी देश की आजादी के बाद यूं भटक रहा था.
भारत में उनकी उपेक्षा का एक किस्सा और है. अनिल वर्मा बताते हैं कि एक बार पटना में बसों के लिए परमिट मिल रहे थे. इसके लिए दत्त ने भी आवेदन किया. परमिट के लिए जब वो

पटना के कमिश्नर से मिलने गए तो कमिश्नर ने उनसे स्वतंत्रता सेनानी होने का प्रमाण पत्र लाने को कहा. बटुकेश्वर दत्त के लिए ये दिल तोड़ने वाली बात थी.
बाद में राष्ट्रपति राजेन्द्र प्रसाद को जब ये पता चला तो कमिश्नर ने बटुकेश्वर दत्त से क्षमा मांगी उनके मित्र चमनलाल आज़ाद ने

एक लेख में लिखाः “क्या दत्त जैसे क्रांतिकारी को भारत में जन्म लेना चाहिए, परमात्मा ने इतने महान शूरवीर को हमारे देश में जन्म देकर भारी गलती की है. खेद की बात है कि जिस व्यक्ति ने देश को स्वतंत्र कराने के लिए प्राणों की बाजी लगा दी और जो फांसी से बाल-बाल बच गया, वह आज नितांत

Story of Azad Hind Bank
Before independence, the picture of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was also printed on the Indian currency. A replica of this currency issued by Azad Hind Bank can be seen on the currency display board of the main branch of State Bank of India located at Bank

Road in Gorakhpur city of Uttar Pradesh.
He also got a lot of support for the war that Netaji had started to liberate the country. People also donated in a big way. A bank was also created in April 1943 to handle these money. Its name was 'Azad Hind Bank'. This bank was

established in Rangoon, the capital of Varma. Varma is now known as Myanmar.
In the olden days, even the king-maharaja used to issue coins in his name, so in the same way this government of Netaji also issued its currency through 'Azad Hind Bank'. The countries which supported '

Azad Hind Sarkar' also recognized this currency.
The ten countries that supported the Azad Hind government and the army were Verma, Croatia, Germany, Nanking (present-day China), Manchukuo, Italy, Thailand, the Philippines and Ireland that recognized the bank and its currency.

From ten rupees coins to one lakh rupees notes were issued by the bank. The picture of Subhas Chandra Bose was printed on the one lakh rupee note. Prior to this, only the information of 5000 notes issued by Azad Hind Bank was public. A five thousand note is also kept in BHU's

Air India was started in 1932 by industrialist JRD Tata. Then its name was Tata Airlines. 1933 was the first commercial year for Tata Airlines. This year, Tata Airlines ships have flown about 160,000 miles. British royal 'Royal Air Force' pilot Homi Bharucha was the first

pilot of Tata Airlines, while JRD Tata and Vincent were the second and third pilots.
After the Second World War, on 29 July 1946, Tata Airlines became a 'Public Limited' company and its name was changed to 'Air India Limited'. After the independence of the country, the

Government of India first took 49 percent participation in Air India. Further in 1953, the Government of India passed the Air Corporation Act and then bought a majority stake in the company from the Tata group. Thus Tata Airlines became the official Air India.

This poster is from when India and Pakistan were not partitioned. You can see and understand the route of Air India in this poster.
