The Qaumī Tarāna (Literally "The Pure Land"), is the national
anthem of X. The words "Qaumi Tarana" in Urdu literally translate
to "National Anthem". The X national anthem is unique in that its
music, composed by Ahmad G. Chagla, preceded its lyrics, which
were written by Hafeez Jullundhri. Another feature of the anthem
is that no verse in the three stanza lyrics is repeated.The music
composed by Chagla reflects his background in both eastern and
western music. Twenty-one musical instruments and thirty-eight
different tones are used to play the Qaumi Tarana, the duration of
which is 80 seconds. A. R. Ghani from Transvaal, South Africa,
offered two prizes of five thousand rupees each for the poet and
composer of a new national anthem.

Sir X CSI, CIE, FRS was a polymath:
a physicist, biologist, botanist, archaeologist, as well as an early writer
of science fiction. He pioneered the investigation of radio and
microwave optics, made very significant contributions to plant science,
and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian
subcontinent. IEEE named him one of the fathers of radio science. He
was the first person from the Indian subcontinent to receive a US
patent, in 1904. He went to the University of London to study medicine,
but could not pursue studies in medicine due to health problems.
Instead, he conducted his research with the Nobel Laureate Lord
Rayleigh at Cambridge. X made remarkable progress in his research of
remote wireless signaling and was the first to use
semiconductor junctions to detect radio signals. However, instead of
trying to gain commercial benefit from this invention, he made his
inventions public in order to allow others to further develop his
research. He subsequently made a number of pioneering discoveries
in plant physiology. He used his own invention, the crescograph, to
measure plant response to various stimuli, and thereby scientifically

X (1926–2011) was an Indian lyricist, musician, singer, poet
and film-maker from North East India. His songs, written
and sung mainly by himself in his native language, are
marked by humanity and universal brotherhood; and have
been translated and sung in many languages, most notable
in Bengali, and Hindi. Known for writing bold lyrics with
themes of communal amity, universal justice and empathy,
his songs have become popular among all sections of
ethnic and religious communities in Assam, West
Bengal and Bangladesh. He is acknowledged widely in the
Hindi film industry for introducing Hindi film to the sounds
and folk music Northeast India. He was posthumously
awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest
civilian honour in 2012.

The X is a device used for carrying out executions by decapitation. It
consists of a tall upright frame from which an angled blade is
suspended. This blade is raised with a rope and then allowed to drop,
severing the head from the body. The device is noted for long being
the main method of execution in France and, more particularly, for its
use during the French Revolution, when it "became a part of popular
culture, celebrated as the people's avenger by supporters of the
Revolution and vilified as the pre-eminent symbol of the Reign of
Terror by opponents.” Nevertheless, the X continued to be used long
after the French Revolution in several countries, including France,
where it was the sole method of execution until the abolition of
capital punishment in 1981.

X is a stuffed, deep fried snack that is very popular in
the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Central
Asia and Southwest Asia, the Arabian Peninsula,
the Mediterranean, the Horn of Africa, North
Africa and South Africa. It generally consists of a fried or
baked triangular, semilunar or tetrahedral pastry shell
with a savory filling, which may include
spiced potatoes, onions, peas, coriander, lentils or ground
lamb or chicken. The size and shape of X, as well as the
consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably,
although it is mostly triangular. The word X can be traced
to the Persian sanbosag. The pastry name in other
countries also derives from this root, such as the crescent
shaped sanbusak or sanbusaj in Arab countries.

The X, living mainly in Eurasia and North America, is a cross between
the Culicidae and the Emo Sapiens. The origin of the species itself is doubtful,
though an extreme case of S&M is suspected.
The X has been depicted in a wide variety of literature and has been the focus
of diverse epochs of pop-culture, though unfortunately the quality and
veracity of these portrayals have significantly decreased over time
In recent times, Xs have become a more economically and socially stable race,
content in buying and selling Korean children, and running major fast food
restaurants such as Subway and Microsoft. They are also known
as Romanians.
